NEWBERRY. S. C. ELBERT H. AULL, / - WM. P. HOUSEAL, (Proprietors. ELBERT H. AULL, EDITOR. WEDNESDAY, JUE 28,1893. THE SONG OF THE SPINDLE. The News and Courier on Monday gave a splendid sketch of the cotton manufacturing industry of South Caro lina. The reports of the different mills show that the industry is in a prosper ous condition. Some cotton mills in the state declined to give statistics of t heir value and amount of their pro ducts, but the News and Courier esti mates that the capital invested in cot ton manufacturing in South Carolina amounts to $12,000,000, and that about one-third of the cotton raised in the state is consumed in the mills, and there is every reason to believe that considerably more than $1,000,000 in addition. will be invested in cotton mills in South Carolina in the near future. The hope of the state and the whole South lies vastly in the success of the manufacturing interests. The cotton is here, and the mills are coming. The state is now far ahead of many others in the South in cotton manufacturing, and to hold what we have g->t is what we must look after in order for future increase. The News and Courier is do ing a good work in setting forth the prospects and advantages of cotton mills in South Carolina, and every citizen of the state should feel proud of the showing we make. ANUAL MEETING STATE ALLIANCE. The annual meeting of the State Al liance will begin at Clemson College Wednesday, July 26. After that day it will adjour-i to Walhalla and remain in session a t i I i t place till the remain der of the buiutss of the meeting ia transacted. There seems to be some confusion in regard to the date of the meeting, ow. ing to the fact that the meeting begine a day earlier than usual in order te make an official visit to Clemson Col lege. Gentlemen nf the anti press, whi.b is wulse, to ,-t-L negro freeholders tc sign dispensary petitions so to carry out a law of the State, or to urge them not to sign dispensary petitions? Are not both appeals to the negro? Don't all answer at once.-Register. Thf Herald and News has given nc advice on the subject, but we would like for the Register to tell us how a refusal to sign petitions is an effort not "to carry out the law of the State?' Is not the matter of establishing a dis pensary left optional with the freehold voters of the town by the terms of the Act? We only ask for information. We thought the dispensary was a stel: in the dirction of prohibition, and the freehold voters of a town could have prohibition if they wanted it. The County Institute for colored teachers met here on the 20th of this month with Prof. Cardozo as condue. tor and will continue through next week. The session so far has beer e very successful and of great benefit t the teachers. We are glad to see thai our colored teachers are alive to the importance of professional training and are determined that Newberry County so far as they are concerned, shall re tain her reputation as the banne1 county of the State in educational matters. The government of India hai stopped the coinage of silver at the mints for private account. The news was a surprise to the English parlia ment, and the effect it had in New York on silver is shown by the follow ing dispatch: NEW YORK, June 26.-Silver certifi cates have dropped to 771,- commercial bar silver to 77 and Mexican dollars to 60 cents. The break is due to a cable from London reporting the suspension of purchases of silver for India accounti and the closing of the India mints. The belief that the Sherman silver bill will be repealed adds to the bearisi feeling on the metal. The Atlanta Journal says that Gov ernor Tillman has only one eye, but he has that wide open and dead set on the half a million dollars he expects the State to make out of the new di pensary scheme. The trustees of Clemson College have made a good selection of a president in ihe election of Prof. Craighead. Attention Veterans. Gen.

Nweary Fire Hnndred Men Go Down in Her. LONDON, June 23.-A most terrible calamity hoa befallen the British bat tle ship Victoria, the flag ship of the Mediterranean squadron, and hundreds of lives have been lost. The Victoria, which flew the flag of Vice Admiral Sir George Tryon, K. C. B., was run into off Tripoli by the British battle ship Camperdown, also belonging to theMediterranean squadron, and un dier command of CApt. Charles John stone. The Victoria had an enormous hole made in her side, through which the water poured in in torrents. The immense hull of the Victoria at once began to settle, and before those on board of her could cast loose their small boats she went to the bottom, carryving down, with her nearly all on board. Some of the officers and crew managed to get out of the suction caused by the sinking vessel and were rescued. Among those lost is Vice Admiral Tryon. The first report of the disaster stated that about two hundred men were drowned, but later dispatches show that the loss of life was far greater, not less than four hundred of the officers and crew of the Victoria having gone down with their ship. The first dispatches concerning the accident led to the belief that the dis aster had occurred off the coast ol Tripoli, in Northern Africa. Later ad vices show that the scene of the calam. ity was near Tripoli, a seaport town on the Eastern Mediterranean, fifty miles north of Beyroot, Syria. and a com paratively short distance from the Island of Cyprus. As soon as the officers of the Victoria saw there was danger of their ship foundering, orders were given to close the collision bulkheads In brder to con fine the water in the compartment inte which the Camperdown had shoved her ram. The sailors tried to obey the order, but the ship was making water too fast to allow of the closing of the bulkheads, and when the men were still trying to shut them the vessel, with the immense guns and terrible top hamper, turned over and carried them down. As soon as the news of the disaster became known in London the Duke oi Edin burgh, who was lately promoted to the position of admiral of the fleet, visited the admiralty and conferred with the officers there. A meeting ol the admiralty board was held and tela. graphic instructions were sent to Reaj Admiral Markham. The news of the calamity has caused the most intense excitement, not only among those who had friends on board of the ill-fated ship,- but among all classes of the population. The admiralty office in Whitehall h beseiged by the relatives and friends oi the officers and crew, ey reporters seek. lug further details of the disaster, and by throngs of people attracted by curi osity. So dense was the throng in the vicinity that the admiralty officiah were compelled to summon the police to rest.ain the crowd. When Queen Victoria learned of the disaster of her naval namesake she ordered the postponement of the Stat ball -that was to take place at Bucking ham Palace to-night. The prime minister informed the House of Commons of the accideni and paid a most glowing tribute to the worth of Vice Admiral Tryon, who, he said, was one of the ablest and mosi esteemed officers in the service of hei Majesty.. Gladstorie said that there were 61: officers, seamen and boys, and 15) marines on board the ship. It is fearec that of this total of 715 souls 430 have been lost. In the House of Lords Earl Spencer first lord of the admiralty, referred t< the 'disaster in terms similar to those employed by Gladstone in the House of Commons.' Details of the accident are meagre and are received in a straggling man ner, owing to the remoteness of Tripoli DETAILS OF THE GREAT DIsASTER. LoaxnoN,.Tune 26-The United Presi correspondent sends from Beyreut at account of the sinking of the war shij Victoria by the war ship Camperdown The weather was sunny. There was no breeze. The sea was smooth as a mirror. The vessels had been drawi up in donble line. Abreast they were about six cable lengths apart. The boi of each vessel was two cable lengths pfrom the stern of the vessel ahead. Al about 3 o'clock the fleet was thus ap proaching Tripoli. Admiral Tryon signalled the ordei for single file. At the time when the order was given the Victoria and Camperdown were almost exactly abreast. Both turned slowly with a sweeping movement and their bows converged. The Camperdown pushed heavily upon the Victoriaand rammed her on the starboard side near the box. She tore with tremendous force inte the Victoria's hull and drove the ramn with a crash right through to the Vic. toria's middle. It was just 3.30 o'clock when at the great rip in her hulithe Victoria began to founder. Admiral Tryon tried at first to run ashore, but the distance, nearly 1ive miles, was too great. The great vessel turned over broadside eight minutes after she was struck down. Discipline was maintained in the few minutes between the collision and the catas trophe. Invalids were broughton deck and provisions made hastily for their safety in case of the worst. The crew remained at their posts. When five minutes were up Admiral Tryon apparently realized that his vessel was doomed beyond all hope of success. He then gave the order: "Let every man save himself." Many of the men rushed from their posts to the vessel's side and jumped into the sea. Others were hurrying from below to follow them when the end came. The boat disappeared gradually at first, then rapidly plunged so that the hull stood almost perpendicular in the water, paused motionls for a moment, and finally rolled completely over. Two tremendous explosions were heard, and then the V Ictoria settled under. Admiral Tryon did not leave the ship. He was the last man seen s she first plunged her bow under the water. He stood on the bridge as long as it was possible to stand anywhere above deck. His body has not beena found. Two hundred and ninety of the officers and crew were saved, many severely injured by the 'oneussion of the two vessels. The Camperdown has a sixteen-foot hole in her bows. She miade a great deal of water and was only kept afloat by the closing of her water tight. com partments and by pumping. The fleet lies at anchor before Trip oli, while the Camperdown is making temporary repairs which will enable her to reach Malta. The Victoria lies in seventy-six fathoms of water. It will be impossible to float her. The Chicago Anarchists Pardoned. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., June 26.-Gov ernor Altgeld has pardoned the Chi cago Haymarket tragedy anarchists, Freeden, Schwab and Neebe.

Uf HOME FOLK IN WASHIINGTON. I N. B. Dial, of Laureni, Offered the Conotul- S ship at Zurich-Brawley Gets in Some Work. WASHINGTON, June 24.-Represent ative Brawley has returned from New York and expects to leave here for Charleston on next Tuesday. This t morning he called at the White House t and had a pleasant talk with the Presi- b dent about the collectorship of the d port of Charleston and other South e Carolina appointments. It is probable b that Major Brawley will secure the first consulship to go to South Caro- a lina under the present Administration. d Mr. N. B. Dial, of Laurens, is said to b be slated for the next consulship at b Zurich, Switzerland, and the appoint- c ment may be announced early next y week. 0 Major Brawley is also taking an t active interest in the selection of the 1 collector of internal revenue. He called a at the treasury department to-day with Col. J. J. Lucas, of Society Hill, who f is an applicant for Collector E. A. Web- a ster's place. Col. Lucas bad an agree- i able conversation with the commis- b sioner of internal revenue and is very -1 much encouraged by the outlook. Later in the day Major Brawley ac companied by Ex-Representative p George Johnstone, called at the war de partment and saw Secretary Laijont, Gen. Schofield and Adjt-Gen. Wil liams as to the detail of a military in structor for Clemson College. The trustees of the college are anxious to have Capt. Garlington detailed for that duty, but it appears that the general of the army Is averse to taking captains away from their regiments for outy at , military colleges. Senator Irby, wben here recently, made a similar request in behalf of Capt. Garlington, but he was unable to do better than get Lieut. Donaldson detailed at Clemson. An effort will be made to carry out the wishes of the trustees and de:-il Capt. Garlington in place of Lieut. Donald son. POSTMASTER BOWERS REAPPOINTED i AT PROSPERITY. t [Special to News and Courier.) YNASHINGTON, June 26.-Represen tative Brawley has been in the city only a few days, yet he has accom plished results which speak well for is activity. He has made several visits to: the Postmaster General, and the result is the announcement of the reappointment of Levi S. Bowers as postmaster at Prosperity and the ap- I pointmant of A. W. Hodgens to handle the mail for the patrons of Easley. Several days ago he called at the treas ury department and presented the name of Thomas F. Brantley, of Or angeburg, for appointment to the office of chief of division. To-day Mr. Brant ley, after passing a very creditable ex amination, was appointed chief of the pension division in the office of the third auditor. Mr. Brantley enjoys the distinction of being the youngest man holding such a position in the treasury department, but being one of the brightest young men of South Carolina he will no doubt perform the duties of the office with credit to himself and to his state. Miss Dora Devereux has been ap pointed clerk to the superintendent of public buildings -t Charleston. This is a temporary appointment, as it is the intention of the treasury officials to make a reduction at an early date in the expenses of supervision in that place. The offie will probably be abol ished. Mr. Dial is doubtful whether he will accept the appointment of consul at Zurich, Which has been offered him. f Congressman Brawley called at the treasury department to-day and intro-1 duced J. J. Lucas to Secretary Carlisle. I Major Lucas is an applicant for the col- 1 lectorship of internal revenue. The appointment will probably not be I made for a month yet. As it nowt stands Senator Butler is understood to favor Mr. Perry. Senator Irby and the i Reform Congressmen recommend McCalla, of A bbeville. Congressman< Brawley has not committed himself, so far, to any candidate.t MR. DIA L DESIRES MOR E SA LA RY, [Special to Atlanta Constltution.j WASHINGTON, June 26 -The first foreign appointment was off'ered South Carolina to-day, and strange to sy, it I will be refused. N. B. Dial, a conserva-. tive, was tendered Zurich by Mr. Quincy. The office p aye $2,000, and very little fees. Mr. Dial has it under consideration to give his answer to morrow. Mr. Dial said to-night that he would decline it. "Zurich is a nice place to have fun in, but not to live in with a family on. $2,000," he said. He hopes, however, to secure a better post when he tells Mr. Quincy of the family. Mr. Dial is endorsed by both Senators, but not by Governor Tillman. OLD MEN NEED NOT APPLY. Major 3. Jonathan Lucas, of Darling- I ton county, South Carolina, has comer out for the collectorship. He is well endorsed, but is over fifty years old, a wbich will exclude him. Mr. Cleve-: land wants young men, and t.hat no old ones need apply is an understood ruling of his. It Is understood that Ben. Perrry will not be given the col lectorship, but will get the chiefj deputy's place, no matter who is ap-t pointed as first man. The Constitu tion'sg correspondent has it straight that a man who Is not yet on the list of entries will be ..f'er ed the post, with Mr. Perry as his deputy. A Husband Unde-r Sn-picion of Poisoning his Wife. [Special to News and Courier.1 GREENvILLE, Junue 26.-To-day an] inquest was held, on the body of Mrs. Rosanna Evans about six miles from Greenville. She died last Tuesday_ under suspicious circumstances, and rumors have floated around that her husband had something to do with her death. It was whispered about that she was poisoned. Tbe body was. taken from the grave and the stomach. will be. sent to the State chemist for! analysis. Her husband was at the iia uest and| gave his evidence. He tesitified that she got out of bed on Saturday night and took three pills, which some one had left at the house as samples. Here the mystery begins, as Evans cannot explain anything about who. left the pills. Between 9 and 10 o'clock he says he was awakened by her hard breathing. He got up and found her in a deep coma, from which she was not aroused. the matter rests until the State chemist makes the analysis. No reason is assigned why Evans should want to put his wife out of the way. If nothing else results from the inquest it I will at least throw suspicion on sample i pills.a Meeting of the State Alliance. [Greenville Mountaineer.j The annual meeting of the State |Alliance seems to have befuddled !many of our esteemed contemporaries, as they are announcing a variety of dates and missing the figure every time.
