countenance.
Senator-elect Kyle is a six-foot blonde
of athletic build. He Is a man of plain
appearance; a man of the people, whose
hands have been used to toil. Ho does
not look to be more than 85 years old.
His hair iand mustache are not quite
red, but nearly so. His complexion is
decidedly blonde and a set of very
white teeth are frequently exposed by
a faint smile. Ills large blue eyes are
expressive of little earnestness or
amiability, but the lines in his faco are I
strong and his dress and whole bearing
indicate a simplicity and freedom
frofn affectation or vanity.
Mr. Jerry Simpson is distinctly the
i-.nf iuide of a dude, and Is far from the
Boekltys citizen usually described for
Simpson. He is a man of average size,
with dark hair and stubby mustache,
being otherwise smooth shaven. His
face is bronzed, weather-beaten and
strongly .marked with heavy lines.
His eyes nave a peculiar brightness and
ght up with an "intellectual Uro"
when he talks. A twinkle that comes
into them at times, and a smile that is
ust visible at the corners of his mouth,
?lwxte a .Veen sense of humor and, at
the same time, a degree of self-conB
dence. His suit was a sort of grey

A MAN UNDER THE BED.
An Unpleasant l>>?cuv?rj by a Ladv ??r
WlllUmitOD, S. O.
(?ke&nville, S. C, Marc?1A ne
gro named Wei bo ra was given severa
scores of lashes with whips and hicko
ries near Williamstou before daylight
yesterday morning and was then taken
to Anderson jail. It is said that it was
with difficulty that a lynching was pre
vented, and the negro was taken to jail
before his crime became generally
known. It is reported that he was given
500 lashes, but ft i3 put down as an ex
nggeration.
The story, as obtained by a News re
porter last night from passengers on
the delayed Columbia & Greenville
train, was that a daughter of Jones
Duckworth, a well known farmer living
about a mile from Williamston, found
Welborn under her bed when she went
to her room to retire for the night. The
young lady screamed loudly and alarm
ed her father and his family. Mr.Tiuck
worth ran up stairs to his daughter's
room, thinking that the house was on
fire. As he reached the second story he
met Welborn coming down the steps. He
supposed that the negro had also heard
the young lady's screaming and had
gone to see what was the matter, and
did not learn the real trouble Until his
daughter had told him of her discovery.
Welborn was in the employ of Mr.
Duckworth, and as the young lady and
her father knew him it was little trouble
to capture him. Ho made a confession
that he had stolen into the house unob
served and had intended to commit an
outrage. He had even gone so far as to
tear pieces of a blanket to gag the young
lady if she made an outcry. His plan
was to wait until everybody in the
house had fallen asleep. Ilabit prompt
ed Miss Duckworth to look under her
bed and she was startled to aee a man
lying there partially concealed by it
blanket,
Who whipped Welborn and what time
of the night it was done are not known,
but those who hear of the negroe's crime
will only regret that the reported 500
lashes were not given him.?News.

Chicago en route to St. Petersburg.
With the approval of the Czar he camo

A Storm Swept State.
Mempuis, Tenn., March 10.?A spe^"
clal to tho Appeal-Avalanche from
Okalona, Miss., says: "Reports just re
ceived show that great damage has
been done throughout the country by
the floods of Saturday and Sunday.
Many turnpike bridges have been
washed away and it is impossible to
estimate the damage. Illinois Central
Railroad is bending its fast trains over
the Vicksburg and Meridian and Mo
bile and Ohio roads via Jackson, Miss.
At Lexington, Miss., the storm was
the most destructive ever known there.
The town is almost, entirely out off
from nil communication with the out
side world. The Illinois Central bridge,
one mile east of that town, was entire
ly destroyed-and great loss followed.
Tho track was washed up in many
places.
On Saturday evening Minnie Bray, a
young colored school teacher, living
n?ar here, was struck by lightning and
instantly killed. Bridges, both wooden
and iron, have been washed away, and
the roads are Impassible. Farming
operations are entirely suspended and
ploughed land is badly washed, delay
ing planting two or three weeks.
Fences along the creeks are completely
gone. Farmers are greatly discouraged
by the outlook.
A terrific storm passed within three
miles of Brandon, Miss., on Sunday
night, carrying destruction with it.
Every house on S. It. Donald's place
was blown away, and he and his wife
were seriously injured. The splendid
residence of the late David L. Wilsonl
near Brandon, together with every
building on the place, were blown
away, leaving only the floors and foun
dations. Mrs. Wilson and an invalid
son were carried with the bed upon
which they were sleeping out into the
front, yard and completely covered by
timbers and debris. They were severe
ly bruised and had to remain In the
pourirjg rain all night.
A Cowardly ltobber.
Nyack, IVY., March 8.?At 1
o'clock this morning-- Joseph Storrs, a
young unmarried man of tnis place, en
tered tho residence of Mrs. Bridget
Armstrong for the purpose of robbery.
Ho was discovered by tho mistress of the
house, who tried to seize him, at the
same timo making an outcry, Storrs shot
tho woman twico in tho neck, and as
she lav on tho floor the cowardly rufllan
brutally kicked her in the side. Mrs.
Armstrong's daughter, Eliza, appeared
on the scene, and Storrs fired at her tho
bullet taking effect in the chin. He
then fled from the house.
Tho daughter, badly wounded as she
was, ran a long distance In her night
clothes for a physician and the police.
Tho polico arrested Storrs about an hour
and a half afterwards. His examination
will occur to-morrow.
Tho people are much exited over the
affair, juul a bil'.ev feeling agalngstStorrs
prevails. It is thought tho injuries of
tho ladies will net prove fatal.

OoJjr Siinon-1
?Columuia, March 7.?There Id u
serious difference of opinion between
Governor Tillman nod Sccrotary of the
Interior Noble as to what would be a
fair division of the Federal funds ap
propriated by Congress for tho agricul
tural and mechanical collegos ot the
State. Tho Legislature ot South Caro
lina has formally accepted the appro
priation for this State, and passed an
Act dividing the amount equally be
tween the Clemson College and the
Clailin College. Governor Tillraau
early in January wrote Secretary Noble
a letter, giving the Secretary all tho in
formation desired. In reply to the Gov
ernor the Secretary replied as follows
on January 31st:
"I have the honor to acknowledge tho
receipt of your letter of tho 24thvinst,
endorsing a certified copv of nu Act of
your Legislature accepting the provision
of tho Act approved August 30, 1800,
making appropriation lor an agricultural
college (colored) and tho Clemson Agri
cultural College (white.) Tho school
population, according Io tho latest count
on Ole m this ofllce (that of 1880) Is
35.0 per cent white and 61.1 per cent,
colored. I am of tho opinion that tho
requirement for an equitable division of
this fuud belweeu institutions lor the
education of tho two races will bo met
by dividing the samo in the said ratio of
tho school in this case.
Very respectfully,
John W. Noble, Sccrotary."
Answering the Secretary, Governor
Tillman wroto on February 10 as fol
lows:
"A reply to your lotter of January 31
has bcou delayed by illness. Tho ques
tion as to what would ho a *just and
cquitablo' division as between our white
an i colored agricultural and mechanical
colleges of the fund appropriated by
Congress last year is, so far as this
State Is concerned, no longer an open
one. Our Legislature has acted and
adjourned, and will not moot again be
fore Novombor, so I have no.powor in
the promises. Please let me know
whether you refuse to pay South Caro
lina her quota upon tho basis proposed
by tho Gonoral Assembly, and if so,
whether you insist that tho school popu
lation as shown by tho census of 1880
instead of 1800 shall govern.
"I will call your atteution further to
these facts; Over 80 per cent of tho
school tax In South Carolina is paid by
tho whites, whllo the negroes receive tho
benefit of over half of it. Second, tho
relative demand for collegiate education,
for which Congress provided, bears no
relation to the relative numbers of the
two races. Third, your refusal to allow
this monoy to bo divided as tho Legisla
ture has ordered, will cripplo the colored
collego ycry seriously, because, relying
on this fund, it has already entered upon
enlargements of its teaching force and
facilities, which will have to bo stopped.
While the Clemson College (white) is
not yet in operation, and can easily await
an appeal to Congress nest December.
I ask you, then, to weigh your actions
woll before doing anything to injure our
colored collego.
I am very respectfully,
B. It. Tillman, Governor."
&?$?ft*(y Noble has not yet replied to
the nbovj. Governor Tillman said,
that accq-diug t0 \x\s information, the
apportionment of tho fuud m West Vir
gjiik', is made on the basis of one-third
hv the colored peoplo and two-thirds
sfe>tno w'uto people, the exact ratio of
tlmgchool population. The following
leUKpf Governor Tillman to Governor
Nor?p, of Georgia, shows him how
tho uBg works:
''OPwencral Assembly divided the
monoy a^pit?*pAijUul in 1890, by Con
gress, for agricultural aud mechanical
colleges equally bctwcVo tho white and
negro schools, and wheK I so notified
Secretary Noble, he replied';V;e require
ment for an equltablo division of this
fund will bo mot by dividing tho ^amo in
tho ratio of tho school population, He
further mentions tho census of 1880,
with a relativo proportion of G) per
cent colored and 30 per cent white, as a
proper basis of division. As 1 ui.J/>in
stand It, tho Georgia Legislature divided
tho fund upon tho basis of school popu
lation, aud Mr. Noblo demands that tho
negroes shall receive hall, so wo find
that he wishes to make South Carolina
just what Georgia has done and yet ob
ject to Georgia's actions, and further
that ho wants to take tho school popu
lation as tho basis of apportionment by
tho census of 1880 instead of that of
1890 which shows the white populatiou
of our Stato to have gained heavily,
while tho negroes have gained very lit
tle. He appears to ignore tho fact that
nearly all of the school taxes in the
South are paid by tho whites, while the
relative demand for higher education as
between the races bears no' relation to
thoir numbers, and that by tho division
proposed in South Carolina or In Geor
gia tho negroes will receive more than
an equitable' sharo of tho Corgressional
giant. As our Legislature has adjourn
ed there is nothing for mo to do oxcept
to insist upon his accenting its action,
and In tho ovent of Iiis rofusal, to appeal
to Congress at its uext session."
Consigned to the Ohio Ktver.
Cincinnati, Ohio, March 7.? The
Ohio Itiver to-day received the ashes of
Professor Wilhelm Steifen, of Louisville,
Kentucky, according to the provisions
of his own will. Ho directed that nis
executors should convey hia body to Cin
cinnati, have it cremated, and then con
sign the ashes into the waters ot
the Ohio Itiver. In accordance with his
will, Auton Kutzlen, representing the
executors, had the body cremated, and
tho ashes, in a porcelain urn, were de
livered to him to day. Taking a cab he
drovo to the wharf, where he chartered
a skiff and was towed out to tho middle
of the current. There he cast into the
water the ashes of tho late professor.
The ceremony was as simple as could be
made and was carried out without at
tracting publicity.

Plant I.t?s "Cotto?.
Col. Livingstion, President of the
Slate Alliance of Georgia baa wrtUeii
the fj?Awfng letter to Col Polk, Presi
dent of the National Alliance;
Dmau liKOTHint: I am satisfied that
the Alliance organization ehould endea
vor to so regulate tho products of the
soil as to furuish a full supply of tho
necessities ot life at least, and at the
same time avoid au over-production in
any given crop. To do Ihfs our farmers
mmt heve some means by which ihey
can uuderslaud what the markets ot the
world demand,- and then some plan ot
co-operation, so as to meet these demands
without producing n glut in ai\y given
product. A step Iu this direction by our
Order would result, perhaps, iu an intel
ligent and safe cropping on our part. As
an illustration of what wo need to do, in
my opinion, tho cotton-growers of the
South should lesscu the cotton produc
tion to n eafo limit, and enhance the
price of the American staple at least 20
per cent. At the eamo time the acreage
for other crops should be devoted to
such crops as are uecded forborne supply
to the utmost possible oxteut. Such a
course would givo much bettor living at
home nud more money for the cotton
crop. To this eud I suggest for the cot
ton belt, at least, a conference between
Alliance officials iu conjunction with the'
officials of other agricultural associations
at some convenient point for the conside
ration ot a wise and remunerative crop
ping, and, if this meets your approba
tion, 1 wish you to call a conforeuceaud
request tho proper official of other State
organizations to loin you In the call.
Something must be done to direct and
influence our people In adjustlug certain
crops to tho demands ot tho world before
we can calculate upon certain and fixed
profits. This plau would, to some
exleut, cover the difficulty. I am taking
for granted tho assertion so universally
made to-day that the present low prlco
of cottou is on account of OYer-produc
tion. If this be not true, a move in the
direction suggested would readily de
velop tho fact and enhance the price of
tho present crop.
Yours fraternally,

What is it that makes women more
smiling and happy looking than men?
We meet them on the cars, on the
streets, in the country, by the seashore,
always smiling, teeth a glistening, eyes
a dancing. Ahl the secret is they aim
to please. It is an effort in many in
stances for them to smile, and, were it
not for a desire to look pleasing and
pretty many would "never smile
again." VVhyV Because in a large
majority of instances they don't feel
like smiling. They feel more like cry
ing. With their nervous aches, weak
ness and bearing down pains, lifo to
them is a burden. What a gold-find to
many a physician is a rich sick woman.
Why should ho aim to cure her and
deny himself tho pleasure of present
ing his bilh with the usual regularity.
It seems from tho following, that the
surest and cheapest way for invalid
women to regain health and strength
is by using ilotauic Blood Balm (13.
B. B.)
Mrs. J. A. White, 340 Wythe Street,
Petersburg, Va., writes: "I have used
B. B. B. ?vith happy results, and others
have taken it at my advice and are de
lighted with its curative results."
J. N. Gregory, Butler Postoffice, S.
C, writes: "My wife had been under
the treatment of several good physi
cians, but continued in poor health, so
I bought four bottles of Botanic Blood
Balm, and it did her more good than
those doctors had done ht r in ten years.
She is now doing her own washing, a
thing she had not been able to do for
four years."
Tho New York Mutual.
The annual statement of The Mutual

phenomenal advance. The assets of
the Mutual Life now aggregate $147,
154,901.20 indicating a gain lor tho year

Topkka, Kans.. March 7.--The Sen

At noon to-day the sixtyoAws of the
session for which the Legislature
receives pay expired. The Senate
last night organized as a Court ?f
impeachment for tho trial of Judge
Bolkiu, of the Olli judicial district,
and until the Court is dissolved the
.Senators will each receivo their regular

how long the school keeps, while tho
patriotism of the Representatives will

Tbe vYbole Truth,
American Farmer, published at Bal
timore, says: Farmers, when you go to
the town or city and see the dealers of
the shops, busy behind their counters
handling out their wares and commo
dities to their customers, do not go
home infatuated with the idea that
thoy are making great profits and be
coming rich in their lines of business.
On hundreds of the articles sold by
these dealers the profits are hardly worth
speaking about. The competition is
immense, and, the struggle for liveli
hood continual, as any one can see by
looking over the advertisements of
prices in tho newspapers, and then notice
the long list of bankrupts, and the sac
rifices of goods at auction. No, friend
farmer, these city merchants are not
making fortunes as fast as you might
imagine from appearances. Taxes in
variety, andoxpenses almost innumer
able, incident to city life, not known to
tho country, confront and harass them.
And now to the tiller of tho soil, who is
inclined to be discontented with his lot
becauso of small gains, we would say
fraternally and encouragingly: Look
around you and seo if there may not be
many ways within your reach by which
you can make them larger. Here and
there about your business there are leaks
and wastes, it may be, which might be
stopped. And it may bo also, different
modes of culturo might be adopted, and
a greater variety or products grown:
but cheer up, friend, and keep firm hold
of the plow handles.
