A Disgraceful Affair.
f Communicated.]
A most deplorable and unfortunate
clash occurred last Friday
afternoon on the grounds 0f the
l
? South Carolina College between,
the students or that institution on
the one side, and two or three policemen
and the Columbia militia '
under command of adjutant gen \
eral Watts on the other. It seems!"
that these grounds, consisting* ofjj
about nine aeres have been re- ?
served by the State for college i
purposes and no outsiders have 1
authority to use them except by '
- %* - - ]
permission from the College
President. Gen. Watts obtained
permission from Pres. Woodrow to
review and inspect the Kichland
Volunteers and Governors Guards j
on Wednesday afternoon the 26th t
but the inspection failing to come i
off at that time, the Gen. and his 1
troupes appeared on the grounds
Friday afternoon when they iound !
the college base ball team playing
a match game with one of the %
, city clubs The premises being j
large enough for both the ins pec- j
tion and five gaine, acting Pres. ^
Sloan requested Gen. Watts to ^
conduct his review in the east
end of the grounds where the
gameofthe students would not 1
be interf-ied with. This the (Jen. *
consented to do, but in executing '
a field movement he commanded (
the troups to march accrossthe
grounds previously occupied ,
by permission ot the college au- j
| thorities, by the baseball players.
The horse or one of Gen. Watts' ^
staff was struck by a for.l ball
and Gen. Watts declared he would
have the grounds cleared and gave
Oo nrHor fn Pnl -Ti-?r??vi In march
his battalion forward. This caused
a general conflict in which clubs, |
base ball bats etc., were freely 1
used and resulted in considerable J,
blood shed by students', policemen j ]
and Prof. Davis who, in the office (
of peacemaker, received a severe j i
blow in the face from a policemans i
club. Student D. D. McCal), of';
Bennettsville, received the sev-|
erest injuries, having his skull!]
fractured from the effects of which
he may die. These are the i
facts briefly stated and from ,
which it seems that adjutant Gen. <
Watts is largely responsible for ,
the unfortanate affair. He as i
sumed authority to break up a ,
game of base ball by college |
students and ordered policemen
to clear *he way for him where .
he himself had no right, and
which precipitated a most deplorable
conflict. However, he is ,
holding himself in reserve and '
has not yet made a statement, i
Unless he can change public sen
timent, he will receive the deserved
censure of the whole State
and his office should be demanded
of him.

A Small Chance for his Money.
A Missouri paper, to illustrate
I he hopeful feeling thai some men
have when they are in debt, telU
dC a larmer *he owed Walt Perkins
twenty-five dollars, and had
wed him for years. One day he '
met Walt and said: ''Don't be
uneasy Walt; I have the thing
all fixed by which I can pay you."
Walt asked him how he had got it
fixed, and the old granger said.
'Well, Walt, if nothing happens,
next year I hope to rise a good
crop of corn, and I intend to trade
some of the corn for a yoke of

Kven in these comparative! v
J modern times a man is occasional
{ly visible who sets tip tliut "ad|
vertising don't p<?y yon." Many
business men because they do not i
constantly have before them tiiej
tangibe! evidence to the contrary,1
because every customer does not'
ask Ibr "That tlour I saw advertised,"
fail to discern that advertising
does bring returns.
How advertising's value is n j
cognized by the best business men
is strongly emphasized by a bill;
now pending in the New York legislature
to prevent misrepresentation
in advertisements. The hill
is being pressed by the very best
class of merchants. They claim
that unscrupulous and lying advertisers
place them at a great
disadvantage and pray that the;
law may afford them protection.
While declaring their own faith
in advertising,thev insist that they
should not be at the mercy ot j
others who have no respect fori
facts.
In the end , and as a general
rule, the legitimate and trurhful
adveitisers will crowd out the,
fakers but what stonger testimoni-!
a 1 could be given to the value of
advertising in itselt thanthirdeclaratiou
by good basiness men
that other men make money by
the use of a fictitious "publicity?"

Larry Gantt is advocating a'
new plan for the control of the J
liquor business. He wants to:
abolish the constabulary and let
each county auction off the right
to deal in liquor within its limits
to thetwo highest bidders. Under
this arrangement Larrv savs that
the liquor privilegs in Spartanburg
county, for instance, can be
sold lor more than $50,000.?

How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twentyfour
hours; x sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it it positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the bark, is
also convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Pr
Kilmers Sw-mp-Root, the greati
kidney remedy fulfills every wish i
in relieving pain in the back kid j
neys, liver, bladdler and evers J
part of the urinary passagger. It
corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, 01
bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during
the night to urinate- The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Koot is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medi
icins you should have the best.

A Wonderfnl Pill.
t*nrl^ Sam?Why, doctor, tbft looks
like the piil M< Kiniey p'.ve ciu to reduce
my revenue.
Dr. Dingier?Yes. its incmlients are
practically the same, though perhaps
they are somewhat stronger.
U. fc>.?But you say this is to increase
ray revenue. How can it work both
ways?
Dr. D.?It'8 a protection and prosperity
pill aud will produce any effect de
ired. It's an infallible core for any
sad all fiscal and industrial ills. If tak
en in sufficiently large quantities, it
will keep all foreign germs ont of your
system ?uci leave you happy, prosperous
and?
U. S.?Hold on there, doctorl You've
said enough to convince me that, like
all advertised panaceas, it's a quack
remedy. Besides, I've tried it and found
it about the nastiest dose I ever took.
It's effects were also bad?very bad. Jit
deranged my whole system and filled :it
so full of trust germs that I've been laid
up ever since. I don't want any moie
of your "protection" pills and don't
see why they called a protection doctor
again. It must have been by mistake.
Women's I)rrw Coot Is Will Come High.
The extremely high duties which
Dingley prcj>osos to collect from women's
dress soodn should be moro genet
ally understood by the women of this
country. It is they who must suffix
most because of these duties. Here a;:e
a few samples of the increased duties
taken from a list prepared by Mr. P. II
Worrall of the dress goods importing
firm of Fred Bntterfleld & Co. of New
York:
"A wool and cotton cloth costing :n
England Is. per yard, eqnul to 24 cents
in our money, weighing 16 ounces to
the running yard, costs under the present
tariff 83.6 cents per yard, while aider
the proposed tariff it would ccsl
67 8-16 cents per yard,
"A wool and cotton cloth costing in
England 2& 4d. per y ard, equal to iifl
cents in our money, weighing 28 ounces
to the running yard, and costing under
the present tariff 78.4 cents per yard,
would under the proposed tariff cost
$1.4858 per yard.
"An all worsted cloth, costing in
England 2a. Id. per yard, equal to 50
cents in our money, weighing 16 ounces
to the running yard, and costing nnder
the present tariff 70 cents per yard,
would cost under the proposed tariff
$1,298 per yard.
"A 32 inch black serge (cotton
warp), costing in England 7 5-8d. per
yard, equal in our money to 15.25 cents,
weighing less than 4 ounces to the
square yard, costs under the present tariff
22.87 cents per yard. Under the proposed
tariff it will cost 30.07 cents per
yard.
"A 27 inch black sicilienne (cotton
warp), costing in England 7 7-8d. per
yard, equal to 15.75 cents in our money,
weighing 8.7 ounces to the running
yard, costs under the present tariff
28.62 cents per yard. Under the proposed
tariff it wiil cost 33.92 cents per
yard.
Iniquitous Lumber Tariff.
"The proposed tariff on lninber," the
Boston Transcript (I?ep.) says, "is simply
a measme to pick the pockets and
crash the industry of a large, nsefnl and
influential class of American citizens.
It is uneconomic, unscientific, suicidal.
The statements upon which this schedule
was maae up are bduwu iu u?va wxu
insidious and misleading. The result
will be to strip the country not of an
annually recurring income, but of its
white pine principal, which at presgpt
rates is within ten years of exhuuslA,
and also to ruin a large class of business
men in this country who deserve better
things. It does not seem possible that
men claiming to represent the people
will permit such a measure to have the
force of law. If they do, it will cease
to bo folly and become iniquity."

Admits Prices Will lie Higher.
With regard to Chairman Dinghy's
admission that the duty on wool \?rll
increase the price of wool, vha Karsas
City Times says: "The consumer and
not the foreigner, therefore, pays the
tariff tax. It concedes aluc that the
home producer puts up his prices arbitrarily.
Mr. Ding ley'b own words wo a
coufttssion that the Dingley bill ii a
fraud and a robbery of tbe people for
the benefit of the few individuals and
corporations."
Tbe most retroactive feature of tbe
Dingley bill is the provision for paying
back to tbe big manufacturers their campaign
contributions.
