Contesting for SettlBrs. . It was estimated recently at New York that at least 150,000 homeseekers from foreign lands will go this year from Atlantic coast gateways to set? tlers' lands in the Far West, and that never before in the history of Ameri? can Railroads have the efforts of *West ern railroads in this direction been so extensive. From the Northwest comes another report wnich may explain in part these strenuous efforts, for it seems that alarm is felt in that section at the tendency of farmers there to move to the Sonth. One land agent is quoted as saying that persons who in? tended originally to sett le t in he Northwest have been leaving Iowa for the South and Southwest in large numbers during the past two months, and that something ought to be quick? ly done to forestall the invasion by Southern ^railroads of Western and Northwestern territory.-Southern Farm Magazine. A Quick Cure for Bee-Stings.

Wade Hampton: "He was the third generation of Wade Hamptons who had distingush ed themselves in their country's ser? vices. " This is how it is usually stated, but in fact General Hampton's great-great-grand-father-Wade Hamp? ton-having been slain in the frontier Indian fighting of 1775, he may be said to have been the fourth generation of the name "dsitinguisbed in their country's service.-Vicksburg Herald. .mo ? -?? mum* ~ Newberry, May L-A negro by the name of Arthur Fry was killed this afternoon at "Mr. Fair's gravel pit, one mile from the city, by the gravel caving in upon him: He died only a few moments after being taken from the pit. ; STRIKE IN AUGUSTA NEARING END. National Labor Organization Fail to Keep Promises to Local Strkers. Augusta, May 1.-The board of di? rectors and officers of four Augusta mills, with the superintendents of each mill, and a committee from the strikers, held a conference today to discuss the "grievances of the King mill operatives, but nothing has been done yet. The. conference has not finished and will be taken up again tomorrow.. The King mill officers say they are ready and willing to ad jost any grievances if the operatives prove they really have grievances. j An undercurrent has developed in j circles of the strikers on account of the promised 82 per week not being distributed. Up to Monday of this week the national organization owed the strikers $8,400 and have on hand only about 8500. For this reason com? missaries were ^established yesterday and 75 per cent, m produce given the adults and 50 per cent, to children. Men of families are taking the pro-1 visions but single operatives who board are raising a big kick and many refuse to take provisions. The pros? pect is now much better for a settle? ment than at any time since the strike went on. A Rearing and Pitching. Senator Tillman spoke at Manning Friday and completely used up Ap pelt. As the daily newspapers said, he "flayed Appelt." It was a case of shooting a sparrow with a cannon and 1,500'people yelled and clapped their hands and snorted and reared upon their hind legs and seemed to enjoy it. Appelt charged and Tillman counter-; charged, the. name of the Deity was dragged in on various occaions, there was talk of lies and thievery and swindling and rebates and nothing was proved or disproved by anybody. Altogether it was a pleasant and edify? ing spectacle for people who are pleas? ed with that sort of thing. Senator Tillman was formerly Mr. Appelt's friend.- Friday the Senator, disowned Mr. Appelt and is not a great deal poorer than before. Meanwhile Mr. Appelt has; a post office, which is plenty for him, and Senator Tillman has a Senatorship, which is a plenty for him. And the plough-boy plows on and is-paying higher taxes today than he has paid in twenty years. Laurens Advertiser. Story of the President's Mother. When Martha Bulloch, the fair daughter of a wealthy Georgia plant? er, married Theodore Roosevelt half a century ago she little dreamed that her name would be handed down as the mother of a President. The pret? ty romance of her meeting with the New York man, their courtship and marriage, and the long honeymoon journey in a stage coach, forms a new and inte rets in? chapter in connec? tion with the life of the present Theo? dore Roosevelt. In the June number of The Ladies9 Home Journal this romance and many unknown facts con? cerning the President's mother are told by a cousin of Marth a ^Bul loch. Orphanage Receives Legacy.

Norfolk; Va., May L-Fire started today in the building of the Virginia Candy Company store on Commercial place and gained such heawday that at one time it was thought the entire block bounded by Commercial place and Water Street.and Roanoke Avenue would be destroyed. The losses ag? gregate SS3,000, fully covered by insu? rance. ^ Hartford, Conn, May 1.-The first sale of shade-grown Sumatra tobacco leaf was held here today, all the shade grown tobacco raised in the Connecti? cut River valley in the season of 1901 having been brought in by agreement of the growers to be sold by auction. There were dealers and manufacturers present from New York Chicago, and Boston, and there was great interest in the sale, as it was expected it would fix the market value of this tobacco. The prices varied from 82.80 the high? est to ?0 cents for the lowest, the leaf of the low-priced bales being dark and short. The Chicago and Northwestern Rail? way some time ago instituted a series of startling reforms. One of them was that all .brakemen and conductors should be suave and courteous even to passengers who asked the same ques? tion on an average of ten times to the running mile. Then came an edict that a whistle was to be known as an ''audible signal" and a side track as an "auxiliary." Now comes the cli? max. All trunks handled by the bag? gagemen of this system are to be car? ried in the natural positon, and not | chucked up on one end and thrown across the baggage room. They are to be deposited on a truck bottomed with a felt pad and gently transported to or from the baggage car. We hardly expect to live to see the finish of the baggage smasher. Now if some philanthropic corporation will devise means for abolishing the Pull? man porter travel will be robbed of half its terrors. How it is Done.

Anderson, May 2.-Col. R W. j Simpson, president of the board of j trastees of Clemson College, was in the city yesterday and as the recent disturbance at the college is still a matter bf intense interest this corres? pondent went to him in his office and asked him if he could make any further statement concerning .it. "In the first place," said Col. Simp? son, "I want to say that the statement sent out by the Anderson corresondent gave the facts very clearly and accu? rately and I want to commend the paper for its fairness and impartiality. "There is very little difference be? tween the faculty and the student body as to what are the facts. The principal difference is as to the punishment im? posed upon Cadet Thonwell, the class claiming that the action of the faculty was partial and too severe. The by? laws give to every student the right to appeal to the board of "trustees from the finding of the faculty in any case .where the student is dissatisfied. ! Cadet Thorn well did not appeal as he had a right to do nor did his class complain to the trustees of the action of the faculty, hence there was noth? ing to justify me to call an extra meet? ing of the trustees. : "I am unable to answer your ques? tions/ 1 he continued, "as to what will be the probable action of the trustees in regard to reinstating the sophomore class. These young men were not dismissed from the college. They had a right to leave whenever they saw proper. They exercised that right and if they now wish to return* they will naturally petition to that end. Should they see proper to peti? tion the trustees to receive them back I have no doubt that the board will ex? tend to" them every consideration that the gravity of the situation and a due regard to discipline will permit. "Yes, I fully recognize the gravity of the situation and it appeared to me when I left the college Tuesday night that Clemson College was tottering on the brink of a terrible misfortunate from which it would be impossible to recover for many years. I was inform? ed that the junior class would leave on Wednesday or as soon as possible and that the freshman class was to fol? low soon after. Happily, however, this action was avoided and I can safe? ly say that there will be no further trouble. These two classes are loyal to Clemson and will not take rash or hasty action calculated to bring re? proach upon the college, but will sub? mit their grievances to the board pf trustees at i ts regular meeting in June next. . . "They readily responded to advice and counsel when I appeared before them in accordance with.their request for me to meet with them. : j "It would not be proper for me to express an opinion as to the merits of the controversy, but this much I can say now that both the faculty and the students realize the gravity of the situation and may be depended upon to act with prudence and deliberation in the future. I will say further that in my honest opinion the trouble now exsiting originated from misapprehen? sions which could have been avoided by mutual explana tons. "Clemson College is a new institu? tion. As yet it has no past record to appear to and both time and utmost skill are required to build up a high 1 toned manly spirit and to manage so large a number cf students. There is no man who has more varied and difficult duties to perform than Presi? dent Hartzog. If he has failed to give satisfaction, and this fact is made tb appear, no persuasion could induce him to hold for a day longer the im? portant positon which he now occupies." MB Col.r Simpson said that the trustees .at their regular meeting in June would take up the matter and would take such actions as appeared to be best. The sophomores would be heard if they de? sired it, and he said he hoped they would appear either as a body or by committee and state their grievances fully so the trustees would have knowledge of all the facts. In conclu? sion, Col Simpson repeated what he has said on every occasion since the trouble occurred that he had nothing but sympathy and the kindliest feel? ing toward the sophomores, but that they had made a great mistake and, he bad no doubt, they realized it. The whole trouble could have been avoided if they had been less hasty and had asked for counsel and advice before taking the rash step. Don't Start Wrong. Don't start the summer with a lin?erin? cough or cold. We all know what a usum mer cold" is. It's the hardest kind to cure. Often it "hangs on" through the entire season. Take it in hand right now.

Augusta, May 2.-Numbers of peo? ple all over Georgia and South Caro? lina have been victimized by a smoothe swindler in tte shape of pecan trees. For some time one Jas. L. Anders of Savannah has been sending circu? lars through the mails advertising pecan trees at 25 cents each. Suckers were plentiful and Anders did a good business from first one place and- then another in the Carolinas; Georgia and Mississippi until Postoffice Inspector W. H.

A num? ber of trees were ordered from Anders which, when planted proved to be young hickory sprouts. 1 Anders was arrested yesterday Mississippi and brought back to Geor gia for trial.

Whooping Cough A woman who has had experience with this disease, tells how to prevent any dangerous consequences from it. She says Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giv.ing^ them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much better health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy. Our oldest little girl would call lustily for cough syrup between whoop?.-JESSIE PE?KXEY fl ?rx, Springville, Ala. This Remedy is for sale by Dr. A. J. China. MR. CRAMP'S NOTION. Mr. Charles H. Cramp, president of the Cramp building company of Philadelphia and a ground floor mem? ber of the bogus trust organized couple of years, ago to receive the annual installments of the ship subsidy that didn't pass, regrets the formation of the $200,000,000 steamship - trust mainly for the reason,; as he .feeling!, states it, "that the vessels of the com? bination must, in the main, fly the flag of foreign nations, and that in case of war between he United States and the power whose flag they fly, vessels owned so largely by American citizens can be taken possession of by the enemy and utilized against the country of which their owners are citizens. " This is really a grave mat ter and,the only remedy which Mr. Cramp can suggest for it is a subsidy to the ship companies, which compose the. trust sufficiently large to make it possible for them to hire the Cramp ship building company to equip them with ships at its own price. The trust with its colossal capital can see its way clear to-large profits without a subsidy though every man connected with it has been knocking at the door of the treasury for many years begging like a mendicant for the bounty.. It will have plenty of money to renew its equipment and as the Cramp ship building company has been able to defeat every com? petitor for the construction of war and m?chant 'ships for foreign pur? chasers it will no doubt be able to get a fair share of the construction work for the new trust, if it wants it. But Mr. Cramp will prefer, prob? ably, to occupy his establishment in building ships for foreign customers at a less price than to build for home purchasers at any rice. At the begin? ning of the Spanish war he held up the government for months because the authorities wouldn't pay him an extortionate price for ships and he only yielded when an' order was issued to buy wherever vessels could be found for sale. If Mr. 'Cramp had brains enough to manage a blacksmith shop with one fire he would know that the remedy for the danger to which he refers is not in paying unearned bounties to ship building trusts. The repeal of our antiquated navigation laws and the substitution of a code which would enable American ships, or ships own? ed by American citizens and operated by Americans to register and carry the American flag, no ' matter where it was built, would achieve the pur-' pose. Every other commercial nation in the world long ago enacted such laws and'the flag of every such nation is floating in every port of the world. But in order to preserv? a monopoly of the business in this country for the Cramps and their favorites we still maintaing a system which re? quires a ship to be built in this country in order to register and as the Cramps charge more for build? ing for Americans than for foreign? ers the Amreicans have gone abroad for their ships with the result to which Mr. Cramp refers.-Beliefonte Pa., Watchman.
