? CONSUMPTIVE'S TRAMP.
From San Francisco to Toronto?
Endured Many Hardships,
Gained 53 Pounds and
Was Cured.
(From the Toronto Mail and Express. )
If the experiences of Alfred Y. Al
len, an old Toronto boy, are any cri
terion, he has discovered a cure for
consumption that leaves Koch and oth
er lymph compounds in the "also
started" list. His remedy is certainly
an heroic one, and efficacious as he
found it, is scarcely likely to become
popular. This is his story :
?n being told by a doctor at San
Francisco that his lungs were almost
used up and he had better go home to
die. Mr, Allen retired to his room to
consider what he .would do. Many
would have done nothing or committed
suicide; while idly pondering over how
to spend his few remaining days, how
ever, a sudden inspiration came to Mr.
Allen. He decided to take a walk
back to his old Canadian home in
Toronto.
He at once decided to try the experi
ment and the next day, August 8, 1901,
he started out, with his best suit,
one lung out of business, $1 in his
pockets, and a gross tonnage over all
of 81 pounds. He was very weak at
first, and found it hard to cover a
mile and a half a day. For two
months he walked along, keeping his
money?as long as he looked respecta
ble no one would take it, "but when
he became more weather-worn and
needy-looking it soon went So weak
was he that on one occasion he got
permission to cut wood for a meal,
but was unable to handle the axe.
Slowly and painfully he tramped on,
following the ties north through Cali
fornia and Oregon. Then he left the
tracks to take a short cut, and lost
himself two days and a night in the
dense forests, but in spite of it all he
started to gain strength and was soon
able to average 35 miles a day, one
day actually walking 51 miles. In
Oregon he earned $17 cooking for
some hungry sheep herders, strangers
to dyspepsia, and started off again,
rich once more, until he reached Ida
ho. There he had a terrible experi
ence, tramping across 173 miles of
blazing hot desert, without food or
water, until he reached an oasis,
where some adventurous spirit had
by irrigation reclaimed enough land to
prod ace a scanty living.
By this time * Allen's tongue was
parched and swollen, his lips crack
ed, and he was completely exhausted
by his privations, so much so that it
took several, days of water and food
to put him in shape to continue his
walk. With the aid of a big bottle
he managed to cross the rest of the
arid, sun-parched plain, and crossed
into Utah, through which State he
strolled, hospitably received every
where by the lonely'railroad section
..men, to whom the sight of a face
from the outside world was a God
asene!. In fact, at one place, where he
had to face a fearful cold snap, with
snow waist deep, a family took him
An and kept him three weeks. When
.finally he did start off the lady of the
house gave him a kiss and a $5 bill
tbo cheer his lonely pilgrimage. The
snoney has gone, but the memory of
that kiss is still fresh.
Through snow and storm, wind and
. rain, he plodded along, traversing
Iowa into Illinois, through Illinois to
Michigan and at Detroit he crossed
to Windsor, once more into Canada.
From Windsor he walked across
to Buffalo, from Buffalo to Lewis
ton, where he crossed the old
Suspension bridge and once again
landed on Canadian soil. Then
he took the .Grand Trunk ties and
landed in Toronto last Wednesday,
weather-worn and weary, but a well
man, weighing 136 pounds of hard,
healthy manhood, and without a trace
of his old foe, consumption.
During his long tramp Mr. Allen
walked through thirty-five pairs of
boots and used up more clothes than
he could keep track of. He .was much
impressed with the unfailing kindness
he met with everywhere, having always
plenty of food and clothes. On only
one occasion did he lack a house t
sleep in?when he was lost in Oregon's
wilds.
Mr. Allen has been examined by
physicians, who have been amazed to
find him perfectly free from the white
plague, and still more astounded at
the extraordinary method by which he
cured himelf.

JAPAN'S PIERPONT MOHBAN.
Baron Yeuchi Sh?buzawa, the Head
or Guiding Spirit in 150
Concerns.
(Stanhope Sams, in the American
Monthly Reviews of Reviews. )
Baron Shibuzawa devoted much time,
attention and money to extending the
railway system so that it would furn
ish an artery from the capital to every
important city in the main island, or
Hondo. The development was rapid
in Government and private systems.
In 1890 the Government lines were
miles in length and private lines 896
miles?a total of 1,447 miles. In 1900
the Government lines had grown to
1,010 miles and private lines to 2,905
miles?a total of 3,915.
In 1890 the income of the Government
railway lines was 4,213,804 yen, the
profits being 2,212,531 yen, while the
private lines had an income of 4,360,
478 yen, with profits of 2,793,801 yen.
In 1900 the Government lines had an
income of 15,920,385 yen, with profits
of 8,819,277 yen, while the private
lines had an income of 31,059,696 yen,
with profits of 15,662,243 yen. Baron
Shibuzawa is now president of four
railway systems.
These are only a few of his great
projects that have made or are the his
tory of modern Japan. These enter
prises extend over the thirty-five years
of Meiji?the official designation of
the reign of the present Emperor?and
stretch on into the future, when they
will serve as foundations of Japan's
commercial empire in Formosa, China
and Core?. For to his initiative and
tireless persistence is due the construc
tion of the Seul-Chemulpoo and the
Seoul-Fusan railways in Corea and the
organization of banking and industrial
associations in Foxmosa, Corea and
China.
Perhaps no other organizer has ever
been engaged in so many and various
enterprises. The lay mind is confused
and dazzled by such multiplicity of
details. The Japanese admirer has
counted and tabulated the organiza
tions and companies of which the
baron is either the head or the guiding
spirit. They number some one hundred
and fifty concerns, and include every
kind of business that Japanese indus
trial and commercial life has evolved,,
every manifestation of civic and nation
al interest in the development of the
country and every form of charity and
philanthropy.
It is not only in Japan, among ~the
countries of the modern world, that a
career so varied as Baron Shibnzawa's
is possible. Born in 1840, in Musashi
Province, the province of Tokio, as a
youth he attached himself to the pow
erful "clan" of Lord Hitotsubashi, of
the great Tokugawa family. In this
service his creative and organizing
genius found a splendid field. He es
tablished a new and effective military
system, and reorgnaized the unsettled
finances of the clan. These reforms
led to the advancement of the Hitotsu
bashi. Lord Keiki became Shogun
and Shibuzawa was made an officer of
the Government. After a visit to
France in 186T-68, to study Western
civilization, during which "the resto
ration" was effected at home, he was
appointed tax collector of the financial
department of the new Imperial Gov
ernment. .
He roso rapidly, becoming succes
sively assistant vice minister, junior
vice minister and vice minister of
finance. Unquestionably the highest
positions in the gift of .the Emperor
were within his grasp. Suddenly he
gave up this brilliant life. Its splendid
prizes no longer lured' his' ambition.
He saw a new light. Not military
glory, but solid prosperity, wealth,
civilization and culture are the real
foundation of a nation's greatness.
Though trained to arms and state
craft, he abandoned a high career and
began to realize his vision of a new
Japan. He planned, he labored, he
organized. He won the confidence of
all and was acknowledged as a leader
in an industrial revolution whose con
sequences were to be far more import
ant than were those of the "Restora
tion," the most luminous hour in
Japanese history. It is largely due to
his directing and masterful genius,
which embraces all fields of industry,
that today the industrial and commer
cial development of Japan is the won
der of the world; that highways of
steel are laid between her great cities ;
that the exquisite products of her
craftsmen are known in evepy thres
hold of the West ; that her merchant
fleets cover the Pacific and Indian
oceans ; and that her people have been
brought abreast of modem culture and
civilization, and are prosperous and
happy. It was largely due to him
that Japan deliberately set aside dreams
of military glory and chose the sober
triumphs of peace.
Rock Hill, Sept. 3.?The number
of applications for dormitory accom
modations at Winthrop this year is
larger than ever before, there being up
to this date 724, not including the resi
dents of this city. When they are
added the number will reach 750 or
more. The dormitory accommodation
being for 440 pupils it is very evident
that all cannot secure entrance.

est on outstanding bonds amounting
to $225,000. The assets of the company
are given at $7,751,000 a portion of
which, however, is considered of un
certain value. The company will be
reorganized.
A Certain Cure for Dysentry
and Diarrhoea.
"Some years ago I wa3 one of a party
that intended making a long bicycle trip,"
says F. L. Taj lor, of New Albany, Bradford
County, Pa. "I was taken suddenly with
diarrhoea, and was about to give up the
trip, when editor Ward, of the Laceyvi??e
Messenger, suggested that I take a dose of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and
took two doses, one before starting and one
on the route. I made the trip successfully
and never felt any ill effect. Again last
summer I was almost completely run down
with an attack of dysentery. I bought a
bottle of this same remedy and this time
one dose cured me." Sold bv Dr. A. J. j

Mr. Theodore Price Thinks Cotton
Will Reach That Figure This
Season.
New York, Sept. 3.?Mr. Theodore
Price in an interview tonight said:
"I take this means of answering
hundreds of telegraphic inquiries
reaching from all over the country in
regard to the cotton market. It is im
possible for me to reply to them
individually. The report of the United
States government, issued today, in
regard to the cotton crop indicates a
condition of 64, which is the lowest
on record for September. It is, and
has been, confirmed and foreshadowed
by all other reports, public and pri
vate, for the past three weeks. The
most optimistic construction that is
possible to put upon the government
report does not justify the expectation
of a crop of 10,000,000 bales of Ameri
can cotton.
"The world consumed during the
year just ended 11,000,000 bales of
American growth, and in order to
make this supply suffice reserves every
where are practically exhausted. For
the coming season the world will re
quire, conservatively estimated,, about
11,250,000 bales of American cotton.
There is then a theoretical deficiency
between the maximum supply and the
minimum demand of at least 1,250,000
bales. An actual deficiency is com
mercially unthinkable. The price
must go to a figure that will check
consumption. This price is by no
means reached yet. America has a
practical monopoly of cotton produc
tion. Peace reigns universally through
out the world, industrial and commer
cial enterprise is unchecked and ex
panding. Next to foodstuffs cotton is
the most important and necessaary
staple consumed by civilized society.
"I think it entirely probable that
before any effect upon consumption is
apparent cotton will be selling at 10
cents a pound in the south and doubt
if the advance will stop there. If pro
ducers of the article are wise they will
demand and obtain that figure."
THE GOVERNMENT'S REPORT.
Washington, Sept. 3.?The monthly
report of the satistican of the depart
ment of agriculture, issued at noon
today, shows the average condition of
cotton on Aug. 26 to have been 64, as
compared with 81.9 on July 25; 71.4
on Aug. 24, 1901; 68.2 on Sept. 1,
1900, and a ten-year average of of 73.7.
The present unprecedently low average
of condition, which is two-tenths of a
point lower than the condition on
Sept. 1, 1896, is due mainly to the re
ports from Texas and Alabama, in
both of which States the prevailing
conditions are nothing less than disas
trous. The average for Texas is three
points lower than at the corresponding
date in 1895 and 1901, and is the low
est ever reported for that State. In
Alabama also, the crop is the poorest
ever known. Georgia reports 9 points
below its ten year average, the condi
tion figures being 1 poim; below the
corresponding^ averages in 1899 and
1900. The condition in Louisiana is
the same as on Sept 1, 1900, or 6
points below its ten year average.
Msisissippi reports 7 points below its
ten year average, but its condition is
still 8 points above that at the corres
ponding date in 1900.
South Carolina is within 1 point of
its ten year average and North Caro
lina, Tennessee .and Arkansas are 2
points, 7 points and 1 point above
their respective ten year averages.
There are genera} complaints of the
premature opening and imperfect
development of bolls and for South
Carolina, a State whose piros?ts are
far from being among the most ravor
ble, the statement is made on th:> au
thority of ginners that at>out 14 t er
cent more seed cotton is required tor
a 500 pound bale than in an average
year.
The average condition in the differ
ent States follow :
Virginia 80; North Ciirolina 80;
South Carolina 74: Georiga 68; Flor
ida 75 ; Alabama 54 ; Mississippi 68 ;
Louisiana 70 ; Texas 53 ; Arkansas 75 ;

Caution !
This is not a gentle word?but when you
think how liable you are not to purchase
for 75c the only remedy universally known
and a remedy that has had the largest sale
of any medicine in the world since 1868 for
the cure and treatment of Consumption
and Throat and Lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these years,
you will be thankful we called your atten
tion to Boschee's German Syrup. There
are so many ordinary cough remedies made
by druggists and others that are cheap and
good for light colds perhaps, but for severe
Cough?, Bronchitis, Croup?and especially
for Consumption, where there is difficult
expoctoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing like
German Syrup. Sold by all druggists in
the civilized world.

FB?lifl WAS EVIDENT.
Gross Irregularities Discovered
in Charleston.
Charges made by Mr. George F.
Von Kolnitz, Jr., that irregnlarities
had occurred in the primary election
of Tuesday last, which deprived him
of all the votes toj which he was? en
titled, were proven beyond doubt at
the meeting of the county Democratic
executive committee yesterday after
: noon. Sensational in the extreme was
the evidence brought out in the report
of the special committee appointed
Monday night to make a recount of
all the ballots cast in the election for
I the State Senate. While passing over
the trouble in Club 1, Ward 1, the
j committee on tabulation jumped on to
I Club 2, Ward , and in a speech which
came later Mr. Wilson G. Harvey
made the fur. fly. It wa3 shown by
the revised tabulation that the man
agers Of this club in their sworn re
turn had given Grace 49 votes which
had not been cast for him and Von
Kolnitz was not given credit for 47 of
his votes found in the box. In Club
2, Ward 11, the committee reported
that Grace had been given credit for
31 votes he did not receive, while Von
Kolnitz was not given 16 votes due
him. By the revised list Von Kolnitz
lacked only twenty-nine votes of being
elected State Senator on the first pri
mary.
After the report of the special com
mittee had been read by tMr. Harvey
there came a flood of motions. Mr.
Frank S. Terry wanted the vote from
Club 1, Ward 1, thrown out. This was
tabled. When a similar motion 'was
made regarding the box in Ward
motions were made to table it, seeking
to choke off debate on the really im
portant issue before the body. At this
stage of the proceedings Mr Harvey
made a speech, in which he spoke of
the outrageous and rotten work in the
Ward clnb. It had its effect and the
opposition which developed to the dis
carding of the box was quiet, while
the members of the committee were al
lowed to discuss the questions involv
ed.
There was a great deal of wrang
ling. When the yea and nay vote
was called it was decided to declare
the result of the primary, so far as the
Senatorial race was concerned, on the
revised tabulation as made by the spe
cial committee. The vote stood 24 to
2. Mr. Terry, who was one of the
members to vote "no," said that he
did not see how the executive commit
tee could count the box when it ad
mitted that fraud had been practiced.
By the result of the committee's ac
tion a second primary will be neces
sary between Mr? Von Kolnitz and
Mr. Grace. While not charging di
rectly that frand had been committed,
Mr. Von Kolnitz claimed that he had
sufficient evidence to show that gross
irregularities had deprived him of his
rights. The committee ordered a sec
ond count and the charge was proven.
Speaking generally, members of the
committee said subsequently that they
wanted to do justice to all, but that
it was a question in their mind about
admitting boxes where fraud had been
established.
It came out indirectly from a member
of the committee, speaking at the
meeting, that the managers from Club
2, Ward , were drunk and unfit to
tabulate the vote correctly. In view
of this the claim was put up .that the
errors had been made without any
attempt to defraud Mr. Von Kolnitz.
Just before adjournment a motion
was made by Mr. Walter Nelson to
have new managers appointed for
Club 1, Ward 1; Club 2, Ward 5, and
Club 2, Ward 11. Club 2, Ward 3,
which had been incldued in the Von
Kolnitz protest, was not named in
the motion for new managers, it hav
I ing been proven that the recount of
that club showed nothing wrong.
In a tabulated list of the recount of
the Senatorial tickets the committee
reported that 4,665 names had been
found on the voting poll lists, while
4,57 ballots were found in the boxes.
Fifty-two "dead" ballots were
counted. The official tabulation, as
given out by the executive committee
at its meeting last week, was as fol
lows:
Von Kolnitz 2,149, McMaster 63
Grace 1,712.
According to the revised count, how
ever, the vote stands :
Von Kolnitz 2,233, McMaster 646,
Grace 1,644.?News and Courier, Sept.

A DESEBTF? VILLAGE.
The Removal of the Cotiun Mill
from New Hartford, Conn., to
Alabama Has Ruined the
Village.
Hartford, Conn., Letter, in . Y.
Telegram.
Cheap Labor in the South is said to
be responsible for the abolition on
three week's notice of a pay roll of
816,000 a month in a village of two
thousand inhabitants. That is what
is rapidly transforming the pretty New
England hamlet of New Hartford, a
few miles west of here, into a typical
"deserted village.''*
A walk through the streets of the
village eveni.today is enough to give
one "the shivers," in the language of
a store proprietor. Some of the
houses are locked up and the gardens
are overrun with weeds, gates are off
their hinges and signs of "To let" are
conspicuous on every hand. "Closing
out at cost" is displayed in large type
in some of the store windows and the
very churches wear a mournful air, for
it is estimated that already four hun
dred of the employees, or eight hun
dred persons, have left town. A con
ductor on a train says six hundred left
during the week and more are going
by every train. Hay wagons and trucks
file through the streets to the little
station piled up with household effects
and few besides the overseers and the
house owners remain. Indeed, Mr.
Smith says, if the exodus continues at
the present rate he will be unable to
fill the orders now on hand.
Most of the operatives who have de
parted have found employment in cot
ton mills in Massachusetts, whose
agents hurried here when the news of
the shut-down was published. None
of them will go Sonfch.
COLLEGE PRESIDENCY.
Meeting of Board of Trustees Soon
to be Called.
Governor McSweeney will soon issue
a call for a meeting of the trustees of
the South Carolina College fcr the
purpose of taking some action about
the vacant presidency. It was thought
best to defer the meeting until all elec
tion excitement is over.
* A numberjof names have been sug
gested for the place, but so far no
serious consideration has been given
to any of them. No direct application
has been made by any one, but the
friends of certain gentlemen are urg
I ing their claims. One of the most
1 recent suggestions is that Mr. John J.
McMahan be made president, and
some of the county papers are pre
senting his claims to the board. He
is a graduate of the coliege, and, out
side of his personal interest in it, he
i has been officially connected with its
management since his election as sup
erintendent of education.
It is understood that his selection
would prove popular with the students.
It is by no means certain, however,
that the board will elect a president
when it meets. So far as the pres
ent administration is concerned,
everything is satisfactory, and it may
be that it will be continued for some
time, so as to give the board 'full
time to give this most important
matter deliberate consideration.
The college reopens the latter part
of this month, and the prospects seem
to be very bright.?Columbia Record.
Bad Storm at Cape Town.
Cape Town, September 1.?Sir John
Gordon Sprigg, the premier, said? in
the House of Assembly this afternoon
I that he feared the loss of life from the
! gale would be enormous.
The storm broke shortly before mid
night last night. The beach at the
north end of Aloga Bay was strewn
with vessels lying high and dry, while
others were in the surf and being
swept by the huge waves. Excepting
four vessels, which foundered with all
hands, every sailing vessel in the
roadstead was ashore by midday. Many
steamers, after weathering the storm
all night, steamed out to sea at day
light Fifty bodies have already been
washed ashore.
The British steamer Scot, belonging
to the Union Steamship Company, of
Southampton, left Port Elizabeth Sat
urday for Cape Town. She was due
here this morning, but has not been
sighted. Great anxiety is being felt
regarding her fate. The steamer Bar
ton, also belonging to the Union
Steamship Company was blown ashore
and narrowly escaped destruction.
