rency from February 2, 1869, to
Febraury 2, 1902.

An Expiation.
"W. S. Stratton, who died at Col?
orado Springs, recently, leaving behind
about 114,000,000, willed that some
nine-tenths of that great sum should
be for the establishment and endow
" ment of a home for poor men as a
memorial of his father. "It now turns
ont that this is a notable case of ex?
piation. In his youth Stratton was a
.dissipated fellow and subject to insane
rages. In one of these violent fits,
he nearly killed a carpenter in his
father's shop, and, horrible to relate,
one evening he went into the house
and got his gun. Standing on the
iront porch, he took deliberate aim
and fired at his father, who had start?
ed down the street. The bullet fort
nnately went wide of the mark, but it
had the effect of starting young Strat?
ton westward sooner than he had plan?
ned.
From that time remorse .took posses?
sion of him and he never rested until
his father forgave him. He would
weep, after his father's death, recal?
ling his parent's kindness, and how
nnnatnrally he requited it. Then he
bent all of his energies to make
money, and, after years of struggle
and poverty, along with 'separation
from his wife, he became a multi-mil?
lionaire, but never knew any happi?
ness beyond gratification of material
prosperity.
To expiate his cruelty to his father,
he proposed a memorial for time, but
the lawyers, instigated by a dissatisfied
son, are after a different distribution
of the fortune, and the great expiation
may be frustrated. like so many
other rich men, he held on to his mil?
lions to the last, instead of adminis?
tering1 them, as he desired, in his life
time.
Governor McSweeney has appointed
former Judge James F. Izlar, of
Orangeburg, to hold a special term of
Court in Kershaw County, beginning
on the first Monday in December.
This special term of the Court was
asked for the members of the Bar of
Kershaw County to relieve the work
that has accumulated there.
The Worst Form.
Multitudes are singing the praises of
Kodol, the new discovery which is making
so many sick people well and weak people
strong by digesting what they eat, by
cleansing and sweetening the stomach and
by transforming their food into the kicd
of pure, rich, red blood that makes you feel
good all over. Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, ?.
T.. writes : For a number of years I WAS
troubled with indigestion ;:nd dysx>epsia
.which grew into the worst form. Finally
I was induced to use Kodol and after using
four bottles I am entirely cured. I hearti?
ly recommend Kodol to all sufferers from
indigestion and dyspepsia. Take a dose
after meals. _It digests what you ea*,. J.

Bell Telephone and Newberry.
Newberry, October 14.-A special
meeting of city council was held this
morning, at the request of Mr. Speer,
superintendent of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company, to consider the
matter of granting his company a
franchise to do business within the
city limits. Lawyer J. Y. Culbreath
represented the company. After hear?
ing the argument it was decided" to
postpone action until the regular meet?
ing of council on the 21st inst.
This makes the third request of th?
company for admission to this city.
When the matter, first came up for
consideration council granted the
franchise sought, fixing a scale of
prices. Later this action was rescinded
and a second franchise, prescribing the
same limitations under which Mr. L.
W. Floyd's local company does busi?
ness, given, including a twenty-year
limitation. 1^ this the company
would not consent, but agreed to com?
promise by accepting a thirty-year
limitation and a scale of prices fixed
by them. Council refusing to grant
this franchise, the matter was dropped
until this morning, When the third
proposition from the company was pre?
sented. Now the company asks for a
franchise unlimited as to price and
time.
Gambler's Money Seized.
New York, Oct. 15.-A dozen big
rolls of greenbacks were found, ac?
cording to District Attorney Jerome,
in the safes of two of the five alleged
gambling houses which were the
scene of raids last night by order of
the district attorney. "I understand
that there is a great de?l of money
deposited each night by bookmakers
in these places," said Mr. Jerome to?
day.
"But I do not know who owns the
rolls. It will not be sufficient identi?
fication for a man to say "that $10,000
roll is mine.' "
It has been ascertained that the
total amount of money in the rolls
found in the safes is about $250,000.
Some of the Tammany men do not i
seem to think tnat Bird S. Coler is a
very strong candidate for Governor.
"He's a lightweight," said one of
these gentlemen. "Why, if Coler was
dropped from a twenty-story building,
tied to a cotton thread, he wouldn't
be heavy enough to straighten out the
kinks."
Beauvoir Solo io the S. C. V.
Jackson, Miss., October 15.-The
formal sale and transfer of Beauvoir,
the home of Jefferson Davis, by Mrs.
Davis to the Sons of Confederate
Veterans was consummated today at
the opening session of the reunion of
the Mississippi Division, Sons of Con?
federate Veterans. The home will be
used as a home for indigent Confeder?
ate veterans. Mrs. Davis received
$10,000 for the home.
A Russian Scheme.
London, October 17.-In a dispatch
from Bucharest, Ronmania, the cor?
respondent of the Daily Mail says he
has just returned from Constantinople,
where he investigated the reported
Russian diplomatic advances to Tur?
key. He says he is able to affirm
positively that the Grand Duke Nich?
olas, of Russia, during his recent visit
to the Sultan, proposed to Turkey
the revival of the Unkar-Kelessi trea?
ty, which was concluded in June
of 1833, and which established a Rus?
so Turkish alliance. Under the terms
of this treaty the Pote undertook, at
Russia's request, to exclude in time
of war all foreign war ships from the
Black Sea, while Russia undertook,
?? Turkey's request to furnish aid
by land and sea forces.
This treaty, continues the correspon?
dent of the Daily Mail, which really
placed Turkey in the position of a sub?
ject State of Russia, lasted for eight
years, but on account of the opposi?
tion of the Western Powers it was not
renewed. Russia now proposes not
only to renew it, but to introduce
articles strengthening its purport.
The Turkish Court and Government
were thrown into consternation, fear?
ing it was Russia's intention to en?
force her wishes. Some important
ministers were disposed to entertain
the proposal, but a majoity of the
influential ministers were against it.
Havana, October 15.-An official of
the Cuban Government is authority
for the statement that as yet the
Cuban Cabinet has had no opportunity
seriously to' consider the outline of
the treaty with the United States,
formally presented by Minister Squiers
October 8. He said there had been
only two Cabinet meetings since that
date and that they had both been
taken up with consideration of the
annual budget, which must be ap?
proved before anything else was done.
It is generally understood that
President Palma is being strongly
urged to resist the establishment of an
American naval station at Havana, as
is called for in the treaty presented
by Mr. Squiers, and that mutual
friends of the United States and Cuba
will ask the United States to withdraw
this request lt is probable that the
United States will be offered a naval
station at Bahia Honda, on the north
coast of Pinar Del Rio Province and
about fifty miles from Havana, were
there is an excellent harbor.
When you wake up with a bad taste in
your mouth, go at once to Dr. A. J. China's

or two doses will make you well. They

London, Oct 15.-Emily Crawford,
in Truth, says the Countess De
Lonyay, formerly Crown Princess
Stephanie, of Austria, and the credit?
ors of Princess Philip, of Saxony
Coburg, will probably be forced to
sue her father, Kin;: Leopold, of
Belgium, to obtain their shares of their
mother's fortune* amounting to 62,
000,000, which she left equally to her
two daughters, lt is believed that
the King claims the money as a credit?
or for amounts lent and unpaid.

A Texas Barkeeper Throws Her i
Into the Street.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 16.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation arrived her today and at?
tempted to take charge of a saloon on
Fifth street and Congress avenue, and
landed in the gutter as a result. Al-,
derman Bill Davis, proprietor of the'
place, was present at the time and
the reformer immediately turned her
attention to him, but before sb.6 had
proceeed far in her abuse of saloon
men and their occuption Alderman
Davis asked the visitor who she was
and commanded her to leave the place.
"I am Carrie Nation, sir," said she,
"and was never known to. leave a
saloon hell until I got good and
' ready."
"lam sorry, Carrie," replied the
proprietor, "but it makes no differ?
ence who you are, one of us has got
to go out."
Mr. Davis stepped from behind the
bar and upon Mrs. Nation's second
refusal to vacate, he caught her by
the back of the neck and one arm and
threw her bodily into the street and
her satchel immediately followed her.
After being ejected Mrs. Nation spoke
on the sidewalk until the police dis?
persed the crowd, She was forced to
take'the train out of town for her next
speaking place.
? The Southern Railway management
is certainly doing a great and important
work in inducing the home-seeker to
settle along its lines. This road is a
very effective factor in the develop?
ment of our beautiful Southland,
which is so rich in natural resources,
and the thrift and industry seen along
its lines is an evidence that good
results have followed its efforts in this
direction.

dorsed One of the Candidates,
but Which One?
Washington, October 16.-Applica?
tions for the vacant collectorsbip of
customs at Charleston are pouring in
upon the treasury department, indicat?
ing that an interesting contest is now
being waged for the position. Among
those who have submitted their claims
up to the present time are : E. C.

have been filed during the past two or
three days and the expectation among
the candidates is that Secretary Shaw
will make a decision as soon as he re?
turns to Washington. This impres?
sion is strengthened by the fact that
Referee John Capers has endorsed one
of the applicants, but the treaury de?
parted officials decline to say who is
