Mr. lam is very much incensed, at i? he regards indifference on the of the authorities, and says he appealed to his attorney, and in ~ him to see whether or not offi of the law can not be forced to do ir duty as taxpayers have a right to sL. and if there is any redress for itizens who seek protection from the law and cannot get it from those charged with the enforcement of the law. He proposes to push this matter, tuse he feels that the sheriff has derelict, and by this indifference, might be the cause of his having to fcake into his own hands the means of that protection which he has a right io expect from the sheriff, who is be ing well paid by the taxpayers of the County.

THE SPREAD OF MORMONS. _ Far Greater To-day than Ever Be fore in its History. It seems certain that; in numbers, wealth, in?nenco and aggressiveness the Mormon Church is far.greater to day than ever before in its history. Utah it has, of course, almost solidly ; and, having gained Statehood by deliberate, persistent lying, it feels tolerably secure and is resolved to do as it pleases without reference to American sentiment or law. That over 1,500, men are living today with poly gamous wives is openly confessed ; and that a considerable number of polyga mous relations have been entered into since Statehood and since the mani festo of the Mormon President in |1890 pretending to do away with polygamy is very certain, although legal proof is, naturally, not easy to obtain. Al ready Mormonism, besides dominating Utah, holds, or claims to hold, the balance of power in Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. It is at least certain* that, by colonies and other means, they are continually extending - their influence in these neighboring States ; and the politicians of that section, anxious.for votes in close, elections, will be very sure not to antagonize so powerful a force. Educational and missionary operations should, of course, be push ed in that, region. .The preaching of the Grospel and the teaching of Chris tian schools are already doing much, and can easily be made to do more, for the saving of the situation. Letting in the light is the best way to drive ont the darkness. ?Zion Herald. * TSE ?M OF THE FlfliS IN PARIS / - What Becomes of Their Money. Paris, Aug. 15.?The fatal accident to Mr. and Mrs. .Fair is the sensation of the city an? the leading topic of conversation among American resi dents and in automobile circles. - . The manager of the firm which sold Mr. Fair the automobile in which he met death declared in an interview that he had more than once warned Mr. Fair that he was too imprudent. He said.Mr. Fair had the speed. mad ness find had met with ?n accident the last part of June, when he collided with another automobile.. on the Champs Elysees, but luckily no one was killed. **T attributed the accident,'" said the. manager of the firm, "to the condition of the road where the disaster happen ed. At this point there is a steep and treacherous.incline down which Mr. Fair most have gone at full speed and his automobile, which was capable of running at about 68 miles an hour on the fiat would have attained a speed of from 87 to 93 miles an hour. Mr. Fair was not a skillful driver like W. K. Vanderb?t, Jr. In fact he had not driven an automobile very much pre vious to purchasing this machine from us." M. Fournier, who is a member of the firm in question, has gone to Evreux. Word had been received from him by telegraph asking for a wagon to transport the wreckage of Mr. Fair's automobile. He says the con dition of Mr. Fair's chaffeur is much more serious than at first anticipated. Dispatches received here concerning the disaster do'not indicate whether 2?T. or Mrs Fair expired first. San Francisco, Aug. 15.?The sud den death of Charles Fair and his wife by a collapse of their automobile in France yesterday means a great loss to San Francisco.

"While picnicking last month my 11-year old boy was poisoned by some weed or plant," says W. H. Dibble, of Sioux City, la. "He rubbed the poison off his hands into his eyes and for awhile we were afraid he would lose his sight. Finally a neigh bor recommended DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. The first application helped him and in a few days he was as well as ever." For skin diseases, cute, burns, scalds, wounds, insect bites, DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve is sure cure.

New York, Aug. 15.?Bradscreet's tomorrow will say: Weather conditions have been favor able and the country is a week nearer to realizing the largest harvest in its history. The fall trade in the north em and western sections has further expanded and in the west and north west may be said t? be in full career, with every sail drawing and nearly the best of outlooks both as regards agri cultural yields and prices. The need of larger than usual quanti ties of money to move the crops is ap preciated and confidence in the west of handling the crop, with a minimum force is widely expressed though a further seasonable tightening of the situation is looked for. The physical handling of the crops-by the railroads presents a problem which mus?; be met, and the-possibility of a car short age looms up, second only to the neces sity of. financing for the movement it sell .. The favorable trade features noted this week are the. expansion in the fall demand for dry goods, groceries, hard ware, shoes, and miHinery at leading markets, north, west, east and north west ; the " more optimistic views ex pressed as to the large size of the southern cotton crop and its effect on future business ; the strength of iron and steel, caused by the curtailment of production in July as a result of shortages in fuel supplies due to the strike and car shortages ; the firmness in lumber' mills, lumber being sold ahead, and the continuance of the im proved demand for export of cereals, prticuiarly wheat, with the steadiness in prices of actual grain, which is in active request, while speculation "is rather slow. The less favorable features noted are the restriction of trade in summer goods; used by the cool weather, the continuance of the deadlock at the an thracite coal mines, with the growing nervousness as to supplies and prices of the-strike continues until cold weather, and the unfavorable figures if July export trade, - caused by the projection of last year's conditions into the present season. I Cotton retains all the strength noted toward the close of last week. Some cotton goods are rather easy in tone. Print cloth, while held at Fall River at 3 cents are offered at 2% cents at other markets. Ginghams are strong, however, and some advances are ; an nounced. Business failures number 181 against 178 last- year. J. H. Tilirnan in Spartanburg. Special to The State. j Spartanburg, Aug. 15.?Lieut. Go v. J. H. Tillman, who left Con way last ! Tuesday, and who was reported in the papers to have announced the receipt j of a telegram conveying tne news of ! the serious illness of his sister, arriv ed here the next day, having spent that night in Columbia, and has re mained, here since. He has been staying at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Bunch, the lady being his sister. The family of Dr. Bunch is in good health. it is presumed that this candidate for governor considered Spartanburg a fertile field, more worthy of his atten tion than Horry, Georgetown or Wil liamsburg. Text Book of Democrats for Con gressional Campaign. Washington, Aug. 15.?The Demo cratic Congressional Committee will give to the public, late this week, or early the next, a Democratic textbook intended especially for the guidance of political chairmen and those who will take the hustings, in the coming cam paign. * ' " The textbook has been in the hands of the printer for some time, and it would have been out several days- ago had it not been for the appearance of the Republican text-book. When that literary production came oat, the Democrats had finished work oh their own, and were Teady for the issue, but the Democratic leaders took enthusias tically to the study of the Republican book, and they discovered that there' were, several subjects upon which it was silent. There was no reference, for instance, to Cuban reciprocity ; not a word on tariff revision. There was, however,, a chapter or two devoted to a minimizing of the evils casued by the trjusts. -; . These things moved, the Democra tic leaders'to revise' ?heir^volum? ahato add to it "a few chapters dealing "more especially with the "sins of omission'-'; of the Republican party. ' '* TJae.bopk will make a strong pre sentation of Democratic views, espe cially Ion., the subject .of the - tariff.

Mention is made of several cases, one Itti le girl, of persons being saved from death by copious doses of liquor and outward applications of bpth whiskey and poul tices of tobacco dampened in the li quor. Snake hunts are of daily ocui rence and on one of these occasions 43 large rattlers were killed. A Young Lady's Life .Saved at Panama, Colombia, by Chamberlaint Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Dr. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent physi cian, of Panama, Colombia, in a recent let ter states : "Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for h?r proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She hal become so weak that she could not tur:* \ over in bed.

County Treasurer Charged With cfious Offense?Why the New County Tailed. Special to The State. Dillon, A e. .?The county cam paign in Marion county promises to be very warm. There were sensational developments here today in connection with the race for county treasurer. It was charged that the establishment of Pee Dee county had been defeated be cause of a fraudulent vote upon tax re ceipts issued fraudulently. The county campaign meeting for Dillon was called to order today by the precinct chairman, Mr. R L. Lane, in the chapel of the graded school. The day was hot, but the crowd was un usually large. The candidates were patiently and attentively listened to as they made, their little speeches. There had been a rumor that sensa tional developments would be made apropos the late fight for the new county. But everything passed along with comparative quiet until the last speaker took the stand?W. E. Blue, for reelection as county treasurer. In the late election for the new county it was claimed that the fight had been unfairly won against Dillon, mainly by the use of fraudulent tax receipts with which votes were pur chased. - When Mr. Blue was asked about it upon announcing his candidacy for re election, he-said such receipts were is sued from his office, but that he had been imposed upon in the matter by four citizens of Marion in whom he had had the utmost confidence ; that he would stand to this statement upon the stump and even would call names. Today upon concluding his set speech he was asked to name the party or par ties who obtained the bogus receipts. He called the name of the following citizens of Marion ; Sheriff B. R. Mul lins, Probate Judge P. H. Hamer, Court Stenographer F. F. Covington and Mr. Walter Stackhouse. These gentlemen, he said, asked him to allow them too see the books with a view to getting the names of those in the fight ing territory who had paid their taxes and had obtained their receipts, and it appears that some got receipts who should not have obtained them, and Mr. Blue insists that the said party acted in bad faith. Of course his statement created quite a sensation, and it is expected natu rally that a hornet's nest has been stirred. Berlin,', August 14.? The potash in dustry is undergoing a crisis due to over production. The Prussian treas ury mines have discharged hundreds of workmen and have reduced the wages of others from 10 to 30 per cent. All private mines and factories took similar steps. It is explained that the industry was not affected by the de pression in German business till the I end of April, when all factory ware houses were stocked to the roofs. Much bitterness prevails among the discharged workmen against the syn dicate for forcing the production in 1901 far beyond the market demands, I thus rendering it impossible to keep the workmen employed this year. The Farmers' National Co-operative Exchange Company has been organized in South Dakota with $50,000,000 capital. One-fourth the capital is to be Ucied for building elevators, storage warehouses and stockyards, and an other fourth will be employed in deal ing in cash grain and provisions on the Board of Trade. A correspondent of the Montgomery Advertiser, who writes from "a per sonal experience of many years," says: * Bermuda grass comes into use f?r grazing work stock, at night, about May 10. A man may put ten mules on three or four acres of good Ber muda kept for the team exclusively, every night, without other feed, and work them every day from May to September and they will keep in better order .than on the substitute of night feed of corn and fodder. in ' a stable. They would require full grain ration at noon, however, when . running on the grass at night.": .He adds: "We have the bad habit in Alabama of consuming only crops grown in sum mer. Winter crops take less labor to produce and yield more to the acre. The best physic?Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. Easy to take. Pleasant in effect. For sale by Dr. A. J. China.
