To the Throne of England. I
A Washington Man Who;
Says he is the Rightful
i Heir.
(From the Philadelphia Tiaiej }
Ooe of che oost remarkable charac- ;
tera of the Capital ia a gentleman who j
for some time has been liviog quietly j.
ia tbe most humbie quarter? on Carroll j
street, but who has been PO prominent j
as aa inventor as to receive a hundred j
thousand doliars from the Government, J
and who can trace his lineage so far j
back that his line is ooe of the oMest j
and most royal of tho time. Bat the i
moat striking fact i? that, though tiviug j
in the simplest way in thi> town or on ?
his farm near Appomattox, Va, he can j
boast that he comes of thc same famiiy j
as (?aeen Victoria, and is the Dearest,
male heir to whom the Legitimists
could look for a claimant to England's
Crown
Tbe descent of this gentleman, Dr. ?
Wijliam Wheeler Hubbell, is easily
triped. Dr. Hubbell is now the oldett
male survivor of thedeseendaars of th?
royal boose of Stuart in either Amer ?
tea, England or Scotland Re is al?
most as old as Queen Victoria, but is
only the fourteenth in lice from Robert
II, King of Scotland, while Victoria
is sixteenth io descent froa: this same
first of the Stuatrs. who was ? direct
descendant of Kiog Alfred tbe Great.
Robert Stuart aseen ded the throne of
Scotland in 1370, and on his eldest son
by hts second wife conferred the eail
dom of Strathean This sen of King
Robert was Prince David Stuart, and
\ he left an only child, Euphemia Stuart,
who was, cf coorse. heir to the throne
of Scotland. This giri. Euphemia
Stuart, married Sir Patrick Graham
Their only son was Malise Graham,
Earl of Stratbearn, who married the
daughter of the Earl of Oxford From
these nobles Dr Hubbell comes dowo
ia direct descent, some of his recent
ancestors having come over to this
cooniry with Pet. J'S colonists
They settled tn 1733 io Cbeste.-, Pa,>.
and have since occupied conspicuous
' positions as citizens or tbat Common?
wealth. The history of Dr. Habbel Ps
ancestors is one foll of romance and
bloody wars, of marriages with all of
tbe noblest blood in Eogland, and > f
men who were great warriors, dying
for their faith and conspicuous io the
annals of the nation which rules the
wave. Botb he and Victoria are from
the first Stuart, but the Doctor is near*
er, and by the claims bf the Legitimist
party, ought to be the head of tbe fae
tion which opposes the accepting of the
Hanovian dynasty.
Dr. Hubbell is now 77 years of age,
and, though his bead is white, be is
hale and hearty, being in fall posses?
sion of his mental faculties. He knows
bis entire line of descent for hundreds
of years and can trip h off as readily
as a school boy would bis multiplica?
tion table. Among the many things
which have made him a prominent char?
acter is his wonderful inventive genius,
to which the Government owes the
making of tbe famous Tbaoderbolt
shell which was ased by the Kearsarge
in sinking tbe Alabama in English
.waters Many otber warlike inven?
tions have come from his.baods, whioh
he claims were taken by tbe Govern?
ment and no compensation ever given
in the least degree. He passes bis
time between bis farm in Virginia and
his rooms in Washington, io the latter
city being a regalar medical practi- j
tiooer.
DOUBLE TRAGEDY
IN SALUDA COUNTY, j
-
Special to The State.
Saluda, S. C., Sept. 8 -News has
just reached here of a shooting and
catting affray in ihe May's Cross Roads
section of oar coonty yesterday after?
noon between H. Q Cogbnrn and Sum?
ter Gilliam, in which the former's
brother was fatally shot, while Gilliam
received several ugly cats and stabs
wbicb may aiso prove fatal.
The origio of the trouble is not
known, unless it was tbe result of ru?
mored Iongpent ill feeling between tbe
partie: pac ts
From what could be learned, *'Q 99
Cogburo, as he is femiiiarly called, and
Gilliam, along with several other?,
were at Barnett's store aod bad been
drinking cider. Gilliam was in his
baggy preparing to leave aod before he '
knew it. Cog bum ran apon him from
the rear and slashing at his throat,
bacg tbe knife ic Gilliam's mouth, cut- J
ting him across the face to thc ear. i
He thea stabbed him in the shoulder j
and reaching around, plaoged the blade
into bis abdomen, almost emptying his i
bowels io the buggy.
Gilliam, although in an almost help- !
less condition, staggered some distance j
to Magistrate O. L. Still and getting j
bis pistol, came back to Cogburo and j
was ia the act of firing when "Q." j
jumped behind his brother Julian, who j
received the fatal bullet fell in bis <
abdomen.
"Q." escaped unhurt, but his broth?
er and Gilliam are .said to be in a hope
lesa condition.
Gilliam is constable for Magistrate
Still in the Eulala section of our coan- !
ty. No arrest has yet been reported.

The Disease at Ocean Spnng3 so
Declared by Dr. Guiteras.
New Orleans, Sept. 9 -Up to
nightfall there had been no change in
the fever situation. Two or three !
suspicious cases had been reported
to the board of health-a material
falling off from yesterday, when
there were 37. These were investi
gated, with the usual results This
evening Dr Oliphant and his corps
realize that they have* but one battle
to night-that of preventing any
more importations from the coast
towns. Biioxi and Ocean Springs
The news from the Mississippi
Sound was satisfactory and disap
pointing-satisfactory in that Dr.
Guieteras and the other government
experts had declared that yellow
fever existed at Ocean Springs and
Biioxi, confirming? the judgment of
Dr Oliphant and his associates, and
disappointing because the fears of
the public have been realized Of
course the decision of Dr Guiteras
has set at rest all doubt here that yel?
low fever exists at Ocean Springs
Bot the people there find some con
soiation in the fact that peculiar con?
ditions surround the death of Sherry
Seymour. He was in bad health be?
fore he was stricken, was dissipated
and unnecessarily exposed himself ?
He was first, treated with primitive j
methods by his family, no physician
was called for- four days,' and when
he showed temporary recovery, he
overate himself and died Dr Guite
ras, Dr. Murray, and all who partici
pated in the autopsy, declared, how?
ever, that there was no question that
the man had died of yellow fever.
One of Dr. Guiteras' doubtful pa?
tient?, a child, died to day.
In Dr. Guietras' opinion the pre
vailing fever is not yellow fever, but
lhere are isolated cases of that dread
disease.
This evening Dr Guiteras pro
nounced the case of Earnest Benges,
now sick, as yellow fever
Late this evenings the .three cases
heretofore reported, as existing at
Biioxi were confirmed as yellow
fever by Dre. Murray and Gant, after
a careful investigation They are
thoroughly isolated and it is confi
dentiy predicted that spread of the
contagion will be prevented.
Mayor Flower of New Orleaus was
asked to day if the fever would have
the effect of inducing the authorities
to give the city a cleaning up fie
replied in the negative, but added,
however/that if President Oliphant
believed a thorough cleaning was re
quired to keep the fever out, it would
be done. Throughout the city i<> day
plugs were opened that the gutters
might be flushed.

AS TO HOLDING COTTON.
From the Savannah News.
About this time every season farm?
ers are advised to hold their cotton
We note from day to day the head
line over editorial articles in Georgia j
newspapers: "Hold Your Cotton."
We doubt the wisdom of thc advice
There is not a farmer in the state of
any considerable experience but bas
at some time or other paid attention
to such advice and held his cotton,
only to sell for a lower price than he
would have obtained had be followed
his own better judgment.
The cunent cotton OJ op has been
raised and will be harvested upon a
basis of co3t calculated to make
present prices remunerative If the
crop were all sold at ruling prices
there would be nothing like the
/Dutchman's one per cent." of profits,
to be sure, but the producers would
take fair profits upon their invest?
ments of capital and labor- It would
be better, of couose, if the farmers
could force the market higher by
holding back a part of their crop ;
we would all like to see cotton go to
lOcentsa pound. But the chances
of success in a movement of the
kind are not greater than one: in a
hundred, as has been demonstrated
over and often Prices are based
upon the size of the crop and the
demand It is not practicable to
keep the size of the crop a secret
The government agricultural depart?
ment and dozen.'* of cotton firms have
systematized sources of information
for the collection of data with regard
to the crop. By the time the actual I
cotton has reached the port or count- j
ing point its efit.-ct upon tho market j
has long since been felt one way or j
the other In holding cotton, there?
fore, the farmer most often not only
fails to assist in strengthening the
present market, but weakens that of
the future by carrying over staple to
be counted in the stock on hand at
the end of the season
At ruling prices there is some profit I
fri cotton to farmers. This being the
case, to hold thc cotton back, it seems
to us, would be like risking the sub
stance to grasp at the shadow of the
possibility of higher prices. . j
To Capture a Town.
Georgia May Take Chat?
tanooga From Tennessee.
Atlanta Sept 9.-A question has
been sprung here which may result
in Chattanooga, which has long been
known as one of the leading cities of
Tennesse, becoming a Geogia town.
Doubt has been thrown upon the ac?
curacy of the survey of the boundary
line between this State and Tetn.es
see, and if" the theory of eminent
legal authorities here is confirmed it
may be found that Chattanooga is on
Georgia's soi!.
This view is shat ed by Col W. A.
Wimbish, special commissioner of the
State for the Wes' .rn and Atlantic
railroad, who bas looked into the
question in his official capacity and
to day expressed his strong belief
that a correct survey would bring the
city of* Chattanooga within the con?
fines of this Stale. The publication
of this fact has aroused much inter?
est here and it is not unlikely that it
may result in the next legislature pro?
viding for a resurvey of the boun
dary *
A POSSIBLE TRIBUTE
We.find.the following in the York
viile Enquirer of Wednesday :
Editor Gonzales of the Columbia
State, must take off his hat to Sena?
tor Tillman. He is not obliged to
render this obeisance ; but if tbe
story here told is correct, it looks
like he ought to.
We will say in advance^ that we !
are not going io vouch for the story,
lt came to the reporter second hand,
and may be a little mixed But, ail
the same, it came so straight that un- j
less it -is denied, we are inclined toi
believe it is true
The incident occurred several i
weeks ago, and the scene was laid on j
tue southbound 0 R & C passenger j
train, on its way to the Tirzah camp
meeting Senator Tillman was on j
board, and so also was quite a'num-1
ber of the senator o enthusiastic !
friends, gathered from various nei^h- j
borhoods in the western part of the i
count}'
One of the friends referred to, an
enthusiastic Tillmanite from away
back, struck np a conversation with ?
the senator about the condition of
"Refoim" and presently the discus?
sion drifted on to the newspapers,
when the senator asked :
"What paper are you reading any- ?
way ?"
"The Register." replied the other. !
"Well," said the senator, "you
drop that right now and take The
State "
"The State !" exclaimed the other
"What do you mean ?"
"I mean just what I say," replied
Senator Tillman. "Take The State.
The Register is so unreliable that
you can never tell where it stands,
and while Gonzales is as bitter as
gall, you can always tell just where
to put 3'our finger on him "
The gocd "Reformer17 to whom the
senator was talking, pondered, sc 'he
reporter is informed. Other ' Re?
formers" who overheard the conver?
sation pondered, and from the best
information obtainable, some of them
are pondering yet.
The State, in answer to an editorial
of the Yorkville Enquirer, on the
latest compliment from Senator Till- j
man. viz , that "while Gonzales is as
bitter as gall, you can always tell j
just where to put your finger on j
him," etc , says :
"We do not quote these statements j
in egotism, . but I
only to illustrate a point we have i
made before for the guidance of cer- j
tain of our contemporaries-to wit, I
that there is nothing so valuable to a j
newspaper as the respect of its read- j
ers. The State has never cared for j
mere popularity-that ebbs and flows !
year by year, as minds and issues J
change-but it has always sought to ?
be respected for honesty, courage j
and truthfulness. That is worth all j
the rest. It is an endowment that no ?
chance can take away Profit may |
not follow it, but confidence does, j
and with that confidence comes the j
power of usefulness and the satisfac?
tion of honorable ambition."
