HILL BEFORE P?SLIO Ml Address to the Pioneers of Niagara Comfy H. Y. Ex-Senator David 6. Hill Has Something to Say About Lynch? ing, "Spectacularism," Ficti? tious Prosperity anJ "the Rubber Currency." Olcott Beach, N. Y., Aug. 19.-From twenty to thirty thousand people at? tended the annual picnic of the Niag? ara County Pioneers' Association to? day. The morning was taken up with a business meeting of the Association, ? followed by a reception to Ex-Senator David B. Hill. An immense crowd - gathered at the open air theatre, where the exercises of the day were held. Attorney General Cuneen was the - first speaker. He extoled the indus? try, intelligence and character of the pioneers of Western New York. Mr. Cuneen then paid a tribute to Senator Hill, who was the next spaeker. Mr. Hill in opening discussed "Mob Law Versus Due Process of Law." He said: "Mob violence is not rendered less objectionable if it be true, as frequent? ly asserted, that unies it shall inter? pose its strong arm the guilty may es? cape punishment through a lax ad? ministration of the criminal law or indifference to its enforcement on the ? part of the people themselves. The very excuse offered is a reflection on the community itself where the crime has been committed, and the remedy lies, not in the people themselves overrid? ing the law, but in the people uphold? ing and enforcing the law and in an ap? peal to their patriotism, their good sense, their innate love of justice and respect for order-qualties which are seldom if ever invoked in vain. We cannot permit this Government to be? come a monocracy, which acts upon impulse, feels no restraint and re? cognizes no appeal from its hasty pre? judgment. ."Crimes which can only be punished by such irresponsible tribunals as mobs might as well not be punished at all ; because, in the end, the remedy will be found to be worse than the disease. The duty of every American citizen .who loves his country and its free in? stitutions is plain. He should assist in the creation of a healthy public sentiment, which should demand j that no person charged with crime j shall be punished therefor except un? der due process of law and by lawful officials and under a trial before a Court and juryy as provided by the wise and beneficent provisions of our Federal Constitution, and these vital provisions, so essential to the public welfare, most be respected in every I ?part of our domain and wherever our I .Americian fag shall permanently afloat; and every man, whether white or black, native or foreign born, rich or poor, educated or unlettered, must \ye protected in his life and liberty. ' ^Caking up another subject, Mr. Hill -?aid: "The tendency of the times is to? wards indulgence in that peculiar species of sensational performance which may be characterized in general terms as ' spectacularism, ' if I may be permitted to coin that word. "Spectacularists usually affect su? periority over other people; in the matter of patriotism they desire to be regarded as the only true patriots ; they assume to possess all the virtues, while other people, in their estimation, pos? sess all the vices. They abhor slience and obscurity. They assert the com? monest kind of self-evident proposi? tions, which have become moss-covered from age, with an emphasis as though - they were oracles, and as though their platitudes be original. "They have their press agents, who, unsolicited, supply the newspapers gratuitously with the details of what they do each morning, noon and night, as though the world was holding its breath for fear that something would escape it pertaining to themselves. If they happen to hold a public office they are delighted to see their small? est public acts paraded, magnified and applauded. They are sure that there was never before such public offi? cials as themselves-so earnest, so honest, so self-sacrificing. They med? dle, with everfytbing, whether within or without their oflL-iai jurisdiction and usually muddle everything with which they have anything to do. "Spectacularism, as here interpret? ed is a sort of disease-it expands the head and contracts the conscience, . and may appropriately be called ego? mania, which is another name for egoism. "The hope of the country li es inthe great mass of cool, deliberate and con? servative citizens which oppose their aversions and perform their duties unostentatiously, and entertain sincere convictions cf their life's work. They neither delight in war, in contention, nor in unnecessary strife. They carry no chip upon their shoulders, always looking for trouble. Their ways are ways of pleasantness and their paths are peace, and they believe that righteouso.es, more than the triumphs of war, exalteth a nation." Mr. Hill discussed "fictitious versus ? real prosperity' as follows: h "There is a chorus of assertion, constantly reiterated, that the conn- j try at the present time is enjoying a period of much prosperity. Yet there are grave reasons for doubting the en? tire correctness of the statement. It is conceded that many public works are in progress of construction and many important enterprises are in process of development, but the fact must be borne in mind that most of these schemles are being floated upon bor? rowed capital-that the future is be? ing largely mortgaged-and that pro? fits to hereafter accrue and dividends to be hereafter declared are already be? ing anticipated, and there is no" ad? herence to the good old-fashioned and safe doctrine of paying as you go." The country has been surfeited with the issue of various stocks and bonds which have been palmed off upon a confiding public under the promise ^2 profits-never earned and not likely to be earned, until a financial reaction has set in, which has disturbed pub? lic confidence, inaugurated a falling market, and temporarily, at least, even if not for some time to come, prevent? ed safe financial investments and the end is not yet "Commercial centres seem to be looking to Congress for some sort of financial relief, the exact nature of which is not stated twice alike. You will recall the fact that it was only a few years ago when there arose a de? mand for the repeal of the Sherman silver law,. on the ground that silver was to cheap or too plentiful to war? rant its continued coinage as money metal, and compulsory silver purchases were accordingly stopped, and properly so : and soon thereafter arose a clamor upon Congress for the creation of a single gold standard, because better money was said to be desired, and the single gold standard, such as it was, was duly enacted and the financial millennium was freely predicted ; and now, when a falling market is de? preciating values and wrecking for? tunes, we are told that we must im? mediately have additional financial legislation providing for what the next Speaker of the House of Representative has recently described, or dubbed, as a "rubber currency,' The question is presented whether this proposed mea? sure is in the interest of the people or otherwise. We are informed that its details are not yet wholly perfected, but it is announced that its principal feature is in substance and effect an authorization of the loaning by the Government to national banks of the surplus in the treasury of the United States upon 'approved" securities. "The financial situation will indeed be desperate when such expedients as loaning the people's money to corpora? tions are suggested rather than reliev? ing the people from the taxation which has produced the accumulation of the surplus, and which accumulation was largely caused the present congestion in the money market." EQUAL TM SI Features of the Problem Before the Commission. Columbia, Aug. 18.-At the recent session of the General Assembly, after killing all pending legislation rela? tive to taxation, a con?urent resolu? tion was introduced and adopted look? ing to the appointment of a special commission to inquire into the best plan of getting the State upon a cash basis and of adjusting the taxes for the State. This commission was duly appointed and consists of Senators Mower and Manning and Representa aves Moses, Tatum and Thomas. The commission was appointed after due consideration ana the best pos? sible selections were made. The com? mission held its first meeting tonight, but the individual members have de? voted a great deal of time and atten? tion to the entire tax problem and will be in excellent shape to accomplish the very best results. That the commission has a most im? portant and serious work is recognized by everyone. The manifest inequality of the assessment of taxable property has been time and again emphasized and brought officially to the atten? tion of the General Assembly. That there is now plenty of law on the statute books is admitted by all, and members of the commission are free to admit that if the existing laws were execrated there would be no trou? ble, but that tax officers have gotten into a certain rut and unless there is a change in th? law nothing will be done, and it may be that the commis? sion may take this view of the matter. The tax question is by far the most important that will come up at the approaching session of the General Assembly, but whether anything will be really done it is difficult to fore? tell. The general practice has been to kill everything on the subject. One great and crying evil of the tax system, and which will hardly come within the province of the commis? sion, is the utter x incompetency and political fear of county auditors and treasurers. A great mistake was made when these offices were put in the pri? mary, and the pity is that there seems to be no way to get them ont of the system. It is to be supposed that the people of a county would select the most competent and active men for county auditor and county treasurer. Such is sometimes the case, but generally speaking the primary system lias not so resulted in mest- counties. Business men will not in many cases consent to go through a campaign such as is held in many counties, and the result is that some man utterly incompetent, with one arm or one leg, and with large connections and political pulls, will get the office. The result is that the office goes to the bow-wows and good results are not obtained. Take this county, for instance. Mr. W. Hampton Gibbes was recently ap? pointed to the office. What did he do? In a year's time be has, by his activity and knowledge, added a million dol? lars to the tax books. In Aiken and a few other counties good auditors are elected as a result of the primay, but if the offices were filled with regard to competency and not with regard to political pull and the like, more prop? erty would get on the tax books and better values would be obtained. The law never contemplated that these offices should be in the primary, and they are now and have always been ap? pointive, and it is merely a custom that the suggestions of the primary are equivalent to elections. The present tax laws and any other law that might be devised must de? pend very lagely upon the county auditor. It will be one of the most difficult tasks that the commission will have to suggest some practical way to pre? vent one farmer being allowed to re? turn his farm lands at 82.50 an acre, and his neighbor being made to pay taxes on practically the same class of lands at $10 per acre. It will be most fortunate if the com? mission can get access to the records that were filed with this State board of equalization at its meeting in 1902, showing the result of the careful in? quiry made as to the valuation of farm lands as related to the assessed valua? tions. The facts were from the re? cords. Very many and very varied have been the plans that have been suggest? ed by which the State can get addi? tional taxes. Some suggest a State license system, with a franchise tax ; others say that if all clasess of property were put on the books at 100 cents on the dollar the State would be able to remain on a cash basis. The members of the commission j have been studying the tax laws of ? many other of the States, and hope to j get up some plan that will prove sat- j isfactory to all interests.-News and Courier. 1 EDISON'S NEW SCHEME. Talking Machine That Does the Work of Many Women. Orange, N. J., Aug. 20.-Thomas A. Edison has just perfected a new phono? graph1 which he believes will simplify the recording and reproduction of tes? timony and dictation. Two of the ma? chines have been turned out and operated succesfully. One operator can do the work of eight under the new system. Although no larger than ordinary phonographs, the new device is different in many particulars. The record is about nine inches long and about one half an inch thick and is capable of taking from eight to nine letters or ordinary length. It can be shaved 175 times, making its cost no more than the cheapest paper. The machine is operated by electricity. After the person dictating has finish? ed his work, the typewriter operator takes the record and transfers it to a phonograph at his desk. When he touches a stud or button with his foot the machine immediately begins to re? produce, lt is not difficult to operate the machine. After a sentence or phrase is completed release of the pres? sure stops the apparatus, and when the words are written pressure is applied or another instalment as much as the operator can easily remember. Should it become necessary to repeat parts of the letter a conveniently arranged lever, which, when not used for the ? purpose, acts as a lift for the repro? duction, runs the record backward, so it will repeat practically a word at a ; time after the manner of similar me? chanism on the typewriter. New Use for Injunction. Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 15.-A case with peculiar and sensational feature has been instituted in the State Circuit Court in this city by Manion Bapp, a prominent farrmer residing in the northern portion of the county. The defendant is William Shepherd, at present a resident of Trinidad, Col. Bapp asks that the Court grant him an injunction restraining Shepherd from alienating the affections of Mrs. Bapp.. Mrs. Bapp was formerly the wife of Shepiierd, but secured a divorce and married again, and now Bapp thinks the former husband would like to get her back again. Shepherd and a brother of his former wife recently appeared at Bapp's home and endeavor? ed to induce Mrs. Bapp and her child to accompany them back to her old home in Colorado. As a result of their efforts Bapp had the two men arrested on the unique charge of attempting to steal his wife and child. Before this case came up for preliminary hearing it was with? drawn and Bapp commenced the snit in the State Circuit Court, asking that Shepherd be enjoined from alienating the affections of Mrs. Bapp. -Chicago Chronicle. Chances of the Canal. Washington, Aug. 20.-The follow? ing was announced at the State depart? ment today : "A telegram received last night from Minister Beaupre, at Bogota, dated August 12, (same date as the Senate vote against the treaty, ) is in? definite, but indicates that efforts are being made by Colombia to find some practical way of saving the canal negotiations." Minister Beaupre has been asked by the State deparment to send some definite information concerning pro? ceedings about the isthmian canal treaty, but there is no way of telling how long the message will be delayed, owing to the interrupted telegraph communication. Not Up to Expectations. A good story was told by the Earle of Yarmouth, who recently marrried Miss Tham of Pittsburg, on his return to England. One evening shortly be? fore their wedding the nobleman and his bride-elect were the guests at a dinner at the house of a prominent Pittsburg family. Tin meal was en famile and the Little nine-year-old daughter of the host was the earl's vis-a-vis. Not once did she take her eyes off his lordship's face, and finally asked: "Are you a real English lord?" The nobleman, laughing, said that he was. The little girl, after a few moments of silence, said thoughfully : "I never saw an English lord before and I have always been so anxious to see a real one." "And now that you have seen one, you are satisfied, aren't you?" said his lordhsip, laughingly. "No," said the little miss frankly, "I am not satisfied. I am very much disappointed.' -Philadelphia Press. Doctor*? Recipe For Lemonade. Here is a scientific recipe for lemon? ade advocated by the medical profes? sion: Wash the lemons thoroughly; slice thin and peel all. Cover with sugar, al^wing the sugar to become saturated with the lemon juice by gen? tly pressing the slices of lemon with a spoon. Then add water, slowly stirring all the while. Ice, if used, should be used sparingly. One-third of a lemon to a glass is about right for home use. A Good Sngrgrestion. "When I write a story," said the struggling young author.

Prof. Langley's Aerodrome-Its Ultimate Practicability Undoubted by Scientists -A Partial Description of the Aerial Wonder. (By F. Prescott-Bullock. ) Since the assurred success of the Marconi system of wireless telegra? phy, the eyes and attention of not only scientists, but of the world at large have been directed toward those who are supposed to be perfecting the coming air ships, which will in the near future entirely revolutionize traffic. In the eastern hemisphere are numerous aspirants for the honor of in? venting a practical, working, ever ready vehicle that will transport pas? sengers in any desired direction re? gardless of atmospheric disturbances, and in ope or two instances, it does seem as if their labor was about suc? cessful, but here in the United States we have a man who for the past twen? ty years has devoted his time and in? ventive genius toward reproducing the essentials of bid flight as nearly as practicable in a mechanical device. This man, Professor S. P. Langley of the Smithsonian Institute is no vision? ary inventor, but in his chosen field of astronomy is recognized as the fore? most man of science in this country. His present experiments are conducted for the United States Government, and Mr. Thwing, a millionaire, of Pitts? burg, is as far as finance goes in the undertaking, having already expended over one hundred thousand dollars, while the war department has expend? ed $70,000, upon his present large ma? chine. On the eighth of this month a fifteen foot model of this machine was tried upon the Potomac river for a distance of six hundred yards, and it is asserted that from the* informa? tion derived during the model's flight the problem of aerial navigation is about solved. Prof. Langley has adopted the bird as his model, but with improvements, as it was apparent to him that a flying machine to be of practical value must be heavy enough and powerful enough to drive straight^across or against and in and out of the" strongest winds. No one but Prof. Langley and his assist? ants know the details of his inven? tion, but what he has done to im? prove upon the bird is to keep the wings in a rigid soaring position, the working power not coming from them, but from propellors directly behind the wings. To describe it in as few words as possible: it is built to carry six passengers. The engine of twenty horse power weighs only forty-seven pounds. The machine is built largely of aluminum, the body of the car be? ing twenty-five feet long, by six wide and eigh feet deep. The car tapers at each end and has numerous windows. The main room is fitted out with ham? mocks, cooking utensils and other comforts. Back of this is another room where liquefied air is deveolped, furnishing power to the engine, sup? plies fresh air for the car, and acts as a refrigerant for the food needed on a voyage, besides reproducing itself in sufficient quantities to increase rather than decrease its bulk and power. The engine is expected to drive the aero? drome at tlie rate of 100 miles per hour, and also run a dynamo, which will supply a current for lighting and cooking purposes. The paddle wheels are on each side of the car, are 5 feet 6 inches in diameter, and are made of aluminum with steel braces. Above the wheels and running ia a curve from one end of the machine to the other are the wings or sails extend? ing twenty-four feet from the car. In the stern is fixed a double rudder, one for the purpose of raising or lowering the air ship, and the other to steer it to the right or left. Should Prof. Langley succeed with his aerodrome, although at present secretary of the Smithsonian Insti? tute, and holder of honary degress from the highest universities at home and abroad, he will die famous as hav? ing solved the question of aero? dynamics. Prof. Langley was born in New England sixty-nine years ago. Illness of Lord Salisbury. London, Aug. 20.-A bulletin issued at 10 o'clock tonight said that Lord Salisbury's condition was critical and there was little hope of his recovery. The end may be expected at any mo? ment. Once in the course of the even? ing it was thought that his lordship had already breathed his last, but ne made a surprising rally, and at mid? night it was announced that his condi? tion had not changed since the is? suance of the 10 o'clock bulletin. Bulletins have been dispatched to the King, Queen' and Prince of Wales, acquainting them with the critical condition of the ex-premier. **Tt is not proposed to issue any furth? er bulletin until the morning. Is Indigestion a Disease ? The be3t medical authorities say that in? digestion is not always caused by a dis? eased stomach, but may result from a dis? ordered liver, constipation, excitement, etc. The cause is of little consequence when Rydales Stomach Tablets are taken, as they never fail to digest the food, check fermentation, free the stomach from ir? ritating acids and an excess of eas. They relieve at once, Belching, Heartburn, Sour Stomach, Fullness after Eating, etc. Ry? dales Stomach Tablets have a specific ton ic effect on the stomach and organs of as? similation and are guaranteed to cure the worst forms of stomach trouble. For sale by all dealers. And now a Government medical commission reports, after careful in? vestigation, that "nearly 50 percent, of the United States soldiers in the Philippines, or who have returned from the islands, "are infested with intestinal parasites," of several varieties, and that the returned sol? diers will introduce some new varie? ties into people in this country. This is a form of Colonial acquisition which i should impress even the imperialists unpleasantly. The pity is that they are not infested, instead of the soldiers, whom they sent to the islands.-News and Courier. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bough! Bears the Signature of A DIRECTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. To be Published by the Walsh Directory Co.. and to be a Vast improvement Over Past Issue. The active canvass in the interest of the South Carolina Gazetteer and Busi? ness Directory, which is being pub? lished by the W. H. Walsh Directory Company of Charleston, is well under way and the work will be delivered early in 1904. The Gazetter this year will contain may new features that have never been shown in a State directory heretofore; in fact it will be a complete compen? dium of the State compiled in double form. The first department will show each and every postoffice in the State in its alphabetical order and a complete list of the business and professions at each separate place followed by a list of the farmers that receive mail at that office. After the entire State has been shown in this manner a complete business and professional directory of the State will be shown, under the proper business classification thus presenting a com? plete double directory and enabling the patrons to secure a complete list of any'speicfied business, or any post? ofiBce at a glance. The last issue of a State directory was in 1396 and the enormous changes that have occurred in the intervening seven years makes this work a busi? ness necessity, and it will no doubt receive a large patronage through? out the State as well as being liberally subscribed for by the business interests in other States who buy or sell goods in South Carolina. In its preparation the services of only trained directory data collectors will be used and neither time nor expense will be spared to make the work a flt representative of South Carolina and its industries. The price of the com? plete work will be S6. MAGNOLIA NEWS NOTES. Late Corn Improving-Merchants Expect Big Trade This Fall. Magnolia, Aug. 19.-The seasons for late corn are every thing the farmers could wish, and if they had absolute control of the seasons they could not improve on it as regards its effects on late corn ; but cotton is getting en? tirely too much water, and will, no doubt, throw off lots of its frui?. But, it can lose one third of its fruit and then, retaining two-thirds, make a full crop ; for this writer has never seen better fruited cotton than several of the farmers in and around Magnolia have. I could name the farmers around here who have such fine cops, but in doing this I would have to leave soma of my best friends in the cold, as they have the little breed (properly called by some, "Bantam") and I'm afraid to put a rating on it just now. The W. J. McLeod Co. and Messrs. Griffin and Rharae are making big preparationss for the fall trade, which is evidence of their opinion *of the crop outlook, and fine prices. Col. J. A. Rhame had just returned fromg a flying visit to Bennetsville where his better half is making an ex? tended visit. Mr. T. N. Griffin is making quite a change in the appearance of one of his stores in this place, and building a. large two story warehouse in rear of his store. Painting is the order of the day here. The nimble hand of Mr. Frank S. Potts, with his brush, is in constant motion from early morn, till late in the evening, making pretty some of the buildings in this place, ex? cept, when he is sitting or talking, and he's as good talker as he is a painter. Mr. Tommie McIntosh is well enough to be out riding that big mule, which did his old father up so badly last week. Several of Magnolia's pretty ard popular young ladies are visiting abroad-will not return for two months yet, and-and Messrs. Johnnie McIntosh, his little brother Ernest, Lee Kilpatrick, Walton McLeod, his little brother Frank and Tommie Miller can now sing, "Ber bright smiles haunt me still," with tears trickling down their little cheeks. Mr. Gordon Griffin has fully recov? ered of the scratches and bruises by his fall through that bridge. Mr. '-Truluck while working on the roof of store of Mr. Griffin's on yesterday, lost his hold, and after sliding to the eaves of the house, he made a successful leap of 15 feet, catching on his feet and hands. He was considerably jarred, but otherwise uninjured. Of course it was more of an accident that he caught on his feet, than otherwise. Friend Bill Tom, deceiving his looks, was really sick and had to call in a physician ; but he's out now, wearing as pleasant a smile as ever. Miss Carrie Joye of Sumter is visit? ing relatives in this place. Kev. T. M. Dent is conducting a protracted meeting at Wells' Church (old name-"Rock Church) and al? though the weather has greatly inter? fered with the services, ,a number of accessions to the church ' and conver? sions are reported and much interest? ed is manifested. Mr. Dent, so far, has had no assistance. He is certain? ly a great and effective worker, and ' wins a body over in such a kind, pleasant and Christian way. Dr. O. A. Darby being in such feeble health, preaches but very seldom now. We trust he will soon regain his form? er strength and fill the pulpit many times yet. Occasional. m mm -???- -- Nyack, N. Y., Aug 13.-Herman T. Coates, who murdered Louis Hull, at Spring Valley, on May 19, 1902, com? mitted suicide in the Rockland Coun? ty jail today by cutting his throat with a rusty razor, which he obtained in some unaccountable way. Coates was brought from Richmond, Aa., whore he was arrested for vagrancy. While there he confessed to the murder of Hull. On Sunday he jumped from an Old Dominion steamer off Sea Girt, but was rescued. Boston, Aug. IS.-The G tobe, a Democratic newspaper, will say tomor? row that Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is a native of this State, has been suggested by some of the politicians in the party as a possible nominee for Governor of Massachusetts on the De? mocratic ticket. Should he be chosen Governor, it is claimed, he would be a logical candidate for the Presidency. The Globe adds that Miles's friends say he would accept the nomination for Governor.
