on AU Star Routes.
Bidders For Contracts
Warned.
Special to The State.
Orangebarg, 0 t 12.-There being
several important contracts for esar
route mail service conveying io his
county, I got from Congressman Stokes
.the information in regard to the coange
recently made by the post offise depart
ment relating to the star route service.
The change relates to South Carolina
alone and consists in establish!og free
rural delivery along every star route in
the State. Renes the bidders for star
route contracts must ioclude the free
mail service alec, as this service will be
required without any extra compensa
tion over aod above the regular bid.
With this information and intelligent
action on their part oar local bidders
should capture some of the contracts at
5 st band, and not be made to pay
tributa to the foreign contractors, who
make all the profit, without rendering
any service.
The temptation to refer to and en
large Upon che new life which bas take"
a bold upon our people owing to the
Improved condition of nosiness, is irre
sistible, for the change is so radical
that one must see to it whether or not
he looks for it. Local business has ex
ceeded possibly the expectations of our
merchants, aod our city's prosperity is
che concern of ail.
M Aliona Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying* to Cae public to
know of one concern in the land who are not
afraid* to be g nerons to the needy and suffer
ing. The proprietors of Dr. King's Xew Dis.
covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
have given away over ten million trial bottles
of this great medicine ; and have the sa tis fae -
faction of knowing it bas absolutely cured
.thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bron
chitis* Hoarseness and all diseases of the
Throat, Chest and lo ngs are surely cured by it,

Well Done For Darlington
Special to The State.
Darlington, Oct. ll.-Tom MiteheH,
the only remaining negro oonnected
with the Lamar outrage, was captured
near Biarraville last night and ie now
in jail here. A small posse of four
men found him and had no trouble in
securing him, bat bad to proceed very
cautiously through the woods aod
swamps in order to reach Darlington
with him io safety, bat he is here oow,
and Sheriff Scarborough does not fear
any attempt at lynohing, although
Mitchell is one of the principal brotes
Sheriff Scarborough aod his deputies
deserve the very greatest credit for the
manner in whfch they have handled
these prisoners. While it was his duty
to protect them, it is unusual for an
officer of the law to make thc efforts to
save brotes from the fury of a mob
under the like oooditioos that Sheriff
Scarborough has made. Had ir not
been for bis tact sod skill in handling
these seven negroes, it is more than
probable that Darlington county could
now no longer boast of never having
had a lynching within her borders. It
required gres: ooorage to do what toe
sheriff bas done this week, bu; no ooe
doubts his manhood in bis efforts to
evade a lynching mob

Chicago, Oat li.-The followiog
cablegram was received tonight by the
Chicago Triboce from President Kru
ger of the Transvaal republic. The
cablegram was sent in answer to a
message from Tbe Tribune requesting
a statement of the position of the
Transvaal in the present crisis. Io the
cablegram which follows small words
have been filled io in order to make
smoother reading :
Pretoria, Oct ll.
Tribone, Chicago :
Through The Tribune we wish to
thank our many American frieods for
sympathy io the preseot crisis of tbe
republic. Last Monday we gave Eng
land 48 hoers' notice within which to
give assurance that the dispute will be
settled by arbitration or other peaceful
means. The notice expires at 5 o'clock
today. The British agent ia recalled
and tbe war is eertaio. This is the
fittiog end of the British policy of force
and fraud which bas marked ail South
Africa with tbe blood of Africanders
We mast now make Sooth Africa free
or the white mao's grave. The repob
Isc's forces ioclude ali nationalities,
among them a strong American corps,
sbowiug it is not a case of Boer against
Uitlander, bat ail nations against the
English. We have full faith in free
dom and republicanism and the right
eousness which guides the destinies of
nations.

A Much Fought For Cup.
The present contest between the
Columbia and the Shamrock for the
American cup makes'the tenth contest
for its recovery sines it was woo by the
yacht America in 1851 For the
benefit of those who take au interest in
such matters we reproduce the follow
tog list of all thc races, which we dip
from the New Orleans Pioayuoe :
1851-On Aug. 22 the yacht America
woo the cup from the English
cutter Aurora.
1870- On Aug 8 the schooner Magic
woo from the Eoglish schooner
Cambria
1871- On Oct. 16 and 18 the sohoon
er Columbia defeated the Eng
lish schooner Livonia.
Ou Oct. 19 the Livonia
defeated the Columbia, the Co
lombia beiog disabled.
OJ October 21 and 23 the
schooner Sappho easily outsailed
the Eoglish boat
1876-On Aug. ll and 12 the schoon
er Madeline won from the
Canadian schoooer Counters of
Dofierin.
1881-On Nov 9 and 10 .the *loop
Mischief won from the Canadian
sloop Atalanta.
1885- On Sept. 14 and 16 the sloop
Puritan defeated the English
cutter Genesta.
1886- On Sept 9 and ll the sloop
Mayflower woo from the Eoglish
cutter Galatea.
1887- On Sept. 28 and 30 the sloop
Volunteer defeated the English
cutter Thistle.

Vigilant won from the English
cutter Valkyrie by a narrow
margio.
1895-On Sept. 7 the Defender easily
outsaiied Lord Duoraven's Val
kyrie III, winning by 8m 49s
On Sept. 10 the Valkyrie III
fouled the Defender shortly after
the start. The English yacht
defeated the Defender by 47s
Because of the foul the Defend
er protested and the protest was
allowed
On Sept. 12 the Valkyrie III
withdrew immediately after
crossing the iine and tho De
fender sailed over the course
alone.
It is evident from the performances
of both yachts which are now contest
ing for it, that the one whioh wins will
have no easy task for they are so weil
matched that the slightest mismanage
ment at the crilicai moment may give
the race to the other. But however it
may terminate this wiil cot be the end
for the British yachtmcn are deter
mined to get that cap back, and our
yashtmeo are as fully determined to
koop ic on this side, or bri;ig it back ir
it joes from thom.
