BLACK IS ON THE WAU PATH. lie Hits Ouzts In tho Eye and Uses Ugly Language?When Will tho Hud Come V Capt. Bluck, tho shipping clerk at tho Statu dlsponsary, comes back at ex-Bookkcepor Ouzts In the following communication: To tho Editor of Tho Stato : Since X-13ookkoepor Ouzts has fin ished his book of revolutions, 1 wish to cull tho uttention of tho public to tho following facts: 1 havo boon con nectod with tho Stato dispensary as bhipplng clerk sinco May, 1808. 1 sorvod under Col. Vanco, tho commis sioner, till May of tho presont year. From tho timo 1 ontorod upon ray duties in May, 1898, till Col. Vanco left, In May, 18'JU, thero was no reason for anybody to believe or suspect any wrong doing ; evorythlng worked smoothly, with tho exception of one man ; tliat was Ouzts. Ilo was always creating troublo of sorao kind in every way that ho possibly could ; ho wanted to run evorythlng ; ho always disliked me, and, for soverul reasons, when the board of control saw fit to displace him as shipping clerk, I was put in his place; this, 1 havo boon roliably In formed, noarly killed him. lie had a talk at the timo with somo of tho em ployes about mo, said that I was no gentleman, otc, and that ho would havo rather had his salary reduced $25 than to havo lost his place as ship ping clerk, getting, us I am told, so much a euse on certain brands of whiskey to ship them. All of this passed on till in January, 1800, when the Legislature mot; thero had to be one member of tho board of control elected to succeed now X-Coramlssioner Douthlt, then a member of tho Stute hoard of control. Iiis opponent was Hon. T. C. Robinson of Piokous, S. C, and from what 1 had seen of Mr. Robinson 1 thought him tho right man, and a bottor man than Douthlt. I went to work for lloblnson ; did all that was in my power for him ; he was elected; this added fuol to lire with Ouzts and others. In May of this year Douthlt was olectod commissioner, and Ouzts was us near heaveu as ho wanted to bo ; ho said that ho would havo a -say when Douthlt got In ; this ho has had, in tho way of stealing, etc. Ue at once sot about to run tho build ing?all of tho departments. 1 found that he was (every timo my back was turned) going through my desk, look ing at my private papery, trying to givo orders to my hands, otc. I .told my truck hanJs to toll mo when they caught him in my desk .'ookirg over my papers, books,. cte.;'this they did on many occasions. At last, a few ^monthsjtgo, Mr. 11. S. Thomas, ono of niy ffands at that timo, reported to me that Ouzts had been going through everything. I immediately went to tho commissioner's ollieo and told I'Ouzts that if 1 over caught him In my ollieo again?a G?d d?n thieving scoundrel?-examining my prlvato papers, 1 would shoot tho top of h'.B head olT. 1 told him then and thoro all 1 knew how, and tho languugo could not be mistaken. I was so rough with him Capt. Webb camo down from up stairs and asked mo to stop ; 1 told him I would stop as soon as Ouzts decided whothor or not ho was going to light, i olTored to light him In any way, ho wished, and, although ho weighs about 275 pounds and 1 weigh about 140 pounds, the cowardly cur didn't dare open his mouth. All of these dates that ho has given in tho papers wore stolen from our of Hees, but a largo majority of thorn are lies. Ilu says I was drunk and disor derly. Well, I suppose ho must havo been a coward and badly scared when I cursed him for all tho low -'s that I could, and told him that ho was a thlof. Ouzts has taken all ot tho mistakes of tho dispensary and laid thom at my door ; this, ho knows, is a low, coward ly act. 1 am free to admit that 1 do make mistakes, the dally shipmonts running from 500 to 1,500 cases, but thoro are dozens of times when the goods aro put in tho wrong stack, and very often markod wrong at tho wires; this is caused in.a great measure by TnTttrl^ T-f^y rn"n to mar'? the cases, and thuVlVnrag^ duo *0 fact'that Ouzts was too nv#j.VJ ?.C ?> duty. Mr. Collins, at the last of each month ever sinoe X have been con nected with the State dispensary, bad to help Ouzts with or straighten bis books. This would make it necessary for the superintendent to put a.new man to do the marking; then, of course, the errors would bo heard from all over the State. I have nothing whatever to do with the marking, and therefore am not responsible for errors tnere. Leiters from dispensers and others are given, and Black continues as fol lows : " This Is only some as this infernal liar knows. I h?Te sent as many as five cases marked wrong back to the wires to bo remarked at one time. I admit, as I said before, that I make mistakes, and believe every man does ; this, how ever, is not stealing. When I make a mistakes it is my duty to correot it, which I have always done; when a man' steals he should not be allowed to go at, large like this fellow Ouzts, but the ponitentlary is the proper, place for such criminals." Statements from Capt. B. O.Webb and Mr. M. U. Mobley are printed to show that Ouzts also made mhitj.keh, and then Blaok goes on to' say thai Ouzts has on several occasions sent oases of whiskey from the building; this he might say was sent to him, and no doubt somo of it was/but too much went away. There is now looked up in tho doak that he worked at, at the State dispensary, twenty or twenty-one bot j ties of whiskey?a regular "blind tl jrer." He is mean enough to say some thing about Mr. Barbara t getting a lit tle over his regular wages in the ab sence of a superintendent, when I must say ho has on all occasions made, when left In charge of the bottling depart ment, as good a superintendent as over saw too buHdlng; still Ouzts goos North, ?and stays three urn draw* tis re* Collius, who took ked, only received ?' work 'cr* throe ) visit for tin .... i. the North? Wbo Of course, we all rs, too, th t all of re though that ho in numbor, havo onsrry. Suppose uy are competent mainess is It but f t1'n ft?ryji?r Ii . Mr. Young is an orphan boy, working hard to support Lib mother and aunt, everybody likes him in the building, he is as true as sttol, the right kind of blood runs through his veins, he is Honest and upright in every respect; this lb tho kind of boy Ouzta don't like If he could be induoed to steal ho would bo an angel. Ouzts says he is not com-1 potont and says that he made lots of | mlstakos ; I believe he does, like any other man, make some. There was a shipment from Tallapoosa, Oa., that Ouzts says was checked up wroug by Mr. Young, 05 oases of empty bottles. Tho following will show what tho glass company had to say about it: Tallapoosa, Ga , Sept. 22, '99. State Board of Coutroi, Columbia, B. C.

NORTON, Treas. As to my doing my duty, whether I was drunk and disorderly or nut is a matter with tho Stato board of con trol, and not Ouzts ', If It had boon left w'.th Ouzts ho would have displaced me with his llos long ago, and lnstoad of my making the report that I did a monto ago and showing those things up, und doing so without any fear of anybody they would have had full swing and lnstoad of tholr being out of tbo Stute dispensary, tho State dis pensary would havo boon out of sight of tho pcoplo of South Carolina, and it would havo only taken a short time, for such mon as Ouzts to sink it finan cially, and forever. !lf has something to say about my working for Hon. M. Ii. Coopor at tho last election ; I am no Judas, 1 did, I worked night and day for him, and 1 am Indeed glad that ho Is olocted, and if 1 live, till next summer will do so ugain. This is my Uret and last com munication to tho newspapers. Ouzts Is not my equal. 1 would not speak to such a cur on the stroots, but slap his dirty faco If ho was to dare to spoak to mo. I am still in tho city of Colum bia, r/ork at tho Stato dispensary and livo at the cornor of Surater and Taylor stroots, and In conclusion wish to say to tho public, that Ouzts was turned out for dishonosty, and violat ing tho orders of his superior oflicers, and my opinion of him 1 have expressed to him in tho preaeuco of witnesses und have not hesitated to repeat It in this articlo.

The Colob op Water.-Prof. Spring reports on his experiments of many years to explain the color of water. He has come to the conclusion that a puro blue is the natural color of water. for when we look through a long tube rilled with distilled water against a brilliant white surfaue, a pure blpo Is seen, suoh as is shown by tho Lalto of Geneva, in quiet weather, aeolor which is not influenced by superficial or In terior refleotlon. When pure wator bo comes slightly turbid by extremely nnely divided white or colorless par ticles floating therein, they reflect even in the oase of ground mountain oryatal a yellow light, which unites with tbo natural blue Into a brilliant green ? tplor, suoh as is exhibited by the Neu enb?rg and Boden Lakes. The pecu liar faot'eatibllshed by various obser vers, that tho water of ordinarily green lakes turns perfectly colorless at times, is not due to a olarlfloatlon, but on the contrary, to an influx of a red dish mud, colored by farrlo oxide, wjiioh completely "neutralises tho green.

The Innocent Wife Has the Real Murderer Shown to Her Uy Her Slain Hushand In a Vision or the Night. The Thornton murder, whioh oc curred at the MoK'nley mines, in Vir ginia, has developed Into ono of the strangest sensations of the times and the profound mystory which develop ed the bloody deed has boon revealed by a dream. The innocent wife of tho murdored man, who was Incarcerated in jail, charged with tho crime, seomed to have had somo strange visitation dur ing her sleep In her prison coll, and the unknown murderer was revealed to her in a dream, in whioh her dead husband told her that her cousin, George Hay, was his murderer. John Thornton, who was so mysto-| riou.il v assassinated oa tho morning of July 30th, was a popular mining man who bad many frlonds at Prosperity, whoro ho resided, and alao at Webb Olty, his former homo. He was thirty four yoars of ago whon killed. About eight years ago ho married a girl, and for sovoral months thoy lived happily together. She was insanely jealous, and he seomod to often delight in trill ing with her jealous toolings and to amuse himself by exciting her suspi cions, especially when sho chanced to provoke or lrritato him. On ono occasion ho had aroused her jealous fury to such an oxtont that she got a pistol and attempted to kill him, on the street? of Webb City, but tho bullet mlssrd Its mark. Two years later she -.grot tried to kill him, but in elzed t.ho pistol and in the scutlle for it Mrs. Thornton was shot in the stomach, but soon recoverod. After that they lived more poaeoably togothor, and soomed happy and devoted to each other, excopt for oc casional little family tilts, when she would bocomo Infuriated with angor, almost always tho result of joalousy. Onco in her lifo she vowed that she would never be happy until she had drunk John Thornton's heart's blood, ?hut whon her angor passod away sho was tho same loving and affectionate, but suspicious wifo. On Saturday night, July 29th, John Thornton went to his usual wurk as night ouglneor and watchman at the Bulldog mlno, ono of tho McKinley group, just west of Prosperity. It was his custom to remain thero all night whon tho mine was not running a night shift. About midnight bo received a visit from a friend, E. D. Hawkins, the night watchman of tho Good Enough mtno, close by. During their oouver sotlon HawKlns noticed a now ring on Thornton's finger and spoke of It ad miringly. Thornton said : " Yes, I paid $9 for it on tho installment plan at 25 cents a week." Saying this, he took oil tho ring and handed it to Hawkins who examined it and then re turned it to Thornton. The two men chatted pleasantly together until after 1 o'clock, whon IIa' ffiis took bJs-de parturo. Ho was tj?TasY person, ex cept _the-^?8as"?fn7who oversaw John Thornton alive. Next morning about 8 o'clock J. R. Cornott, an employee of the Victor mlno, was passing, and glancing into the ongine room saw Thornton lying down, apparently aslcop. He called to him, but receiving no response shook him, and thou discovered that tho man was dead, with his throat cut from ear to ear and an Immense gap ing wound and mass of clotted blood presenting a ghastly spectacle. Thorn ton had been lying faco downward in a pool of blood and a mass of cinders from the boiler, and his face was covered with cinders and ashes and his own life's blood. Cornott soon spread tho alarm and tho coroner appeared. When the mur dered man's face was washed a bullet hole was found in tho right tomple. Tho coroner's jury returned a verdict to tho effect that John Thornton had como to his death at tho hands of sumo Forson or persons to tho jury unknown, t was a mystery to which no clow could bo found until Hawkins, tbo man who had last seen Thornton alive, ap peared. He told about his visit to Thornton and his chat about tho ring. It was then noticed that the ring was gono, and robbory was supposed to havo boen tho motive of the murder. While the mystl^ed minors and vil lagers discussed the strange killing and advanced various theories as to Its cause and as to tho assassin, a curious coincidence happened ut the Thornton homo. Tho wife of the murdorol man. handed hor mother a gold ring and told her to put in on John's linger; that she wanted him burled with tho ring on the Qngor whero he had worn it. Those who heard of this Incident and had board iiawkinB toll of seeing this same ring on Thornton's linger the night before coupled the two inoidents together and thought they had found a bolution of tho mystery and had dis covered the assassin. Mrs. Thornton was asked whoro she got the ring. "I shook it out of John's clothos," sho answorod, unconscious of tho part tho ring was to play in leading to her accusation of the murder. There was talk on every sldo. Tho wife of the-dead man was bellQSftd^Vi-^ b_e ^^WrtasBTrV^?r^-fter" accomplice.

In some rospoots tho oa&o resembled the great Maybrlck murder soneatlon, but a moroiful and mysterious spirit or power revealed tho truth and saved Mrs. Thornton from tho awful fate of Mrs. Maybrlck. / In jail ohargod with hor husband's murdor, Mrs, Thornton seemed as toundod and unable to realize the situa tion or to understand why she should /bo acousod of murder. But her pro ' test in ions of Innocence and expressions of astonishment were all accepted as a part of the tragedy which a fiendish woman had committed. Her guilt was regarded ascertain and the unfortu nate woman had no defenders. She soon found that her only hope was in higher power than man, and that in order to prove her innocence sho must find the murderer. In her advorsity sho had lost hor friends. She felt as if all the world nun aeserted hor, and In hur wrotohod no88 she Bought roliof in prayer. im ploring Almighty ?od to bo merciful and reveal to her the murderer of her husband and free hor from tho ohargo of guilt and open her prison door, tho dejeoted woman fool asleep and dream ed that her doad husband had roturned to her.

The dream eoemod so real to the im prisoned woman that when she awoke the could not control her emotion. She was su.ro that what her liusband told her was true, and whether what she had seen was >'a spirit or only the dream of a disordered mind, she oould not tell, but she/was so fully convinced that George Jcay was her husband's assassin that ?be could not rest until he was brought before her.

After a few commonplace remarks were passed be tween thorn, Mrs. Thornton turned to Hay with a look that seemed to pene trate his very soul, and said : [ ** George, I'm In prison, charged with a terriblo orlmo, aud if you havo any Idea who murdered John Thorn ton for God's suko toll me, for I don't want to suffer for this crime."
