On Volcanoes Brink
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct.l,-Up to yes?
terday 30 wealthy Armenians, includ?
ing one Armenian of nobility, had been
arrested on suspicion of haviog taken
part io the recent revolutionary move?
ment. The general opinion is that
ibese persons arc wholly innocent.
Considerable excitement wag caused
in the Yeai Papa quarters last evening
by the explosin of a bomb. The police
say the explosiva, which did no dam?
age, was the resalt of an effort on the
part of an Armenian woman to get rid
of a number of bombs which she had
zn ber possession. She was in the act
of throwing the bombs into the sea
when one of them exploded and she
was arrested.
A cordon of troops has been thrown
around the Turkish quarters of Peruz
gbal. Tbia action is believed to be a
precautionary measure against trouble
growing out of the arrest of certain
Turks connected with the Moslems dis
satisfaotion with the present govern
First Payment Made.
Dispensary Tarns Over Twen?
ty-five Thonsand.
The State dispensary has paid into
the State treasury the first ?25,000
of that $193,000 which, under the
act of the legislature passed at the
last session must go to the general
fund of the State before any of the
revenue derived from the dispensary
can be applied to the public school
fund of the State as directed by
the new State constitution.
It will be recalled that the dispen?
sary authorities reported to the legis
lature at the last session that it had
on hand belonging to the State the
amount mentioned above as profits
up to that time. This amount was
in the shape of unrealized assets.
The legislature thereupon considered
the matter in the light of the man?
dates of the new constitution and
the conclusion, as expressed in the
act that was passed, was reached
that this amount must be paid to the
State treasurer from the profits of the
dispensary in cash before any of the
dispensary funds could be applied to
the general school fund Up to yes
teiday none of the money had been
paid to the treasurer. Some time
ago the board directed the payment
of ?25.000 by Nov. 1 if possible.
The board began to figure to antici?
pate this date, and met with success.
Ye. rday Chief Clerk Scruggs step?
ped over to the treasury and paid the
amount in one month sooner than it
was expected, getting Treasurer
Bates' receipt. The remainder is to
be paid as soon as possible
Mr. Williams of the State board of
control and two of the members of
the legislative examining committee
are now busy taking stock at the dis?
pensary. Mr Williams said yester
day that they find the concern with
the biggest stock on hand that it has
perhaps ever had at any one time. A
rough estimate of the value of the
stuff in the dispensary building at
present places the figures at not less
than ?100,000 The interior of the
building if? something that is reaily
worth seeing just at this time.
In the meantime the healing of the
cases involving the whole dispensary
law is fast approaching, and many
are watching and waiting to see
what the highest tribunal in the land
is going to do with South Carolina's
unique and troublesome licuor bust- j
ness
And it may be added that interest
in the outcome of the scandal inves?
tigation has not abated in the slight?
est degree. Everyone is anxious to
know what will be developed when
the investigation is resumed on next

A Wonderful Campaign.
Mr. Bryan has been steadily and
hard at work ever since his uooiiuatioo
at Chicago Immediately after the
convention he rook the stump, and hts-j
since stuck to it with buch pert*i-f?ncy j
that many of his close friends and ad?
mirers have felt apprehensive that he
would over-do his strength. Bu; have
been unable to prevail upon him to take
more than a few days' rent: He t*
young aud strong, is in love wiih his
work, and feels *qoal to the task tha'
he has taken upon bimseif. It is to be I
hoped that he ha? not mi-Cdlcu!ared
his strength, for a break down at this
time might tend to lessou his now
bright prospects of succ?s. There is,
however, no indication of a break-down
His voice ia about as good as it. wa* at
the begioning, and is better than it !
was a weeli after the opening of the j
campaign. i
The amount of work that Mr Bryan !
has already accomp isbed is prodigious, ?
is, top..firs from figures compiled by the
New York World Ile bas ttavelled
:n ):ti than 8.000 aii!?^ in twenty-two
States, making more than two hundred
speeches in nearly two buudred towns
and cities. These speeches ontained
about a quarter of a million of <*ords It
would require something like two hun?
dred columns of small type io contain
the speeches The speeches averaged
about eleven hundred words each. It
would have been a great task bad Mr
Bryan merely repeated the same eleven
hundred words to each of bis audiences
But he did nothing of the sort. Each
speech b bee. different from the
others, except io tbe line of argument,
and the majority of them have cootain
i ed matter especially applicable to the
locality io which it was delivered
With a month to spare before the
election. Mr. Bryan has brokeu tbe re?
cord of miles traveled aod speeches
made hy a candidate for the Presidency,
and is still as enthusiastic as he was
the day he left Lincoln on his way to
be notified io New York. It is a great
pity that his enthusiasm and willing?
ness to work is not shared by some of
the leaders from whom be has a right
expect spirited assistance For in?
stance, there are Blaod and Boies, who
were candidates before tbe convention,
who accepted the conventions decree io
good part, and promised to do what
they could in support of the candidate.
Yet, so far as the information goes,
neither of these gentlemen bas given
himself a great deal of trouble about
making speeches or otherwise aiding io
the campaign work.
In connection with Mr. Bryan's
splendid record on the stump, may be
noticed the latest and most extraordi?
nary campaign story being circulated
It is to the effect, that a critical exami?
nation of his speeches by scientific tuen
*hows thar, bis mind is failing. A?
expe-'t in n?rveas diseases first mace
the announcement, and the "ssw York
Times found several doctors who agreed I
with fhe expert One of the doctors I
pointedly said tbat Mr. Bryan present- |
ed uumistable sigi;s of degeneracy j
A more cruel and baseless campaign
canard could hardly be devised. It
amounts to the charge that the candi?
date is a crazy man ; which everybody
knows to be untrue. It is hard to coo- ?
ceive how partisanship could induce
people to bring such assertions agaios*
a matt who is not only enjoying the
best of health, but is proving every
day of his life that he is in possession of j
about one of the liveliest and dearest
minds to be found in the country.-Sa?

A Worthless Insurance Com?

Messrs. Barron & Ray. attorneys for
Mr N. M Johnson of Marion yester

for publication on his behalt:
A few Months since Mr. Frank W
Anthouy, an insurance broker of New

to assist in the organization and con
duct of an insurance company in S'mth

I subscription to ifs capital stock was

to the amount of ?200,000. which was

Johnson learned from a reputable and
responsible source that such stock was
readily marketable at par He there?
fore believed that the insurance com?
pany was commencing business in a
perfectly solvent condition. assumint j
thar the stock ot the said railroad com- j
pany, which had been subscribed to j
the capital stock, and was in the actual j
possession of said Citizen's Fire In- j
suraoce company, was genuine Mr. j
Johnson learned, however that the
j s'ock owned bv this insurance company j
I is not the stock of the railroad com- \
! pany. as at present organized, but of a
j previously existing corporation that
! owned this railroad property, before it
! beoaroe insolvent, and that the same is
