For IFairb&nk's Sea\ Indianapolis, ind., Julyi 5.-There are prospects of a pretty fignt in In? diana* before a decision is reached as to who shall fill the seneatorial seat left vacant by Mr. Fairbanks in tbe 'event of national Republican success at the polls next Novena bter. The Hoosier members of the Republican I host are not ready to admit the slight? est possibility of defeat for tbe Roosevelt-Fairbanks ticket and are shaping their plans accordingly. Already in the field and being urged by ?heir f rie ads are four "receptive" candidates, with still another just dawning above the horizon. Prominent among ? those mentioned for the toga are Governor Durbin, whose term as chief executive of the state expires in January next; Con grossman James A. Hemenway. chair? man of the bouse committee on appro? priations and the right-hand man of Speaker Gannon ; Congressman Charles B. Landis, {and Congressman Crum packer, who wants the southern repre sentaton cut down. These three were immediately men? tioned when it became apparent that the- vice-presidential tide had set in the direction of Senator Fairbanks. The , party leaders appear confident of hav? ing a good working Republican ma? jority in the next legislature. The new body will meet in /January and will then choose a successor to Mr. Fairbanks. In the event of a Democratic suc? cess in the state, however, it is believed that the choice of that party for the-senatorship.would lie between John W. Kern of this city and Benja? min F. Shively of South Bend. Charleston's Future. The value of imports, at Charleston during the ten months ending April, 1904, was $1,578,014; at Savannah, $886,910; at Wilmington, $212,166; at Norfolk, $557,627. It will be noted that the value of imports at this place during this period was $21,311 in excess of the aggregate value of impoit at Savannah, Wilmington and Norfolk. At alt these places the value of the exports was largely in excess , of the value of the exports at Charleston, but this was due partly to the fact that the cotton receipts at Charleston have fallen off because of the immense con? sumption of the home-grown staple by the cotton milis of the State. The import trade of Charleston is capable of practically indefinite- development. The commercial salvation of Charles? ton depends not so much upon the cnostruction of so-called independent railroad lines to the West as upon the improvement and development of the ocean facilities at this port.-News and Courier. t High Prices for Tobacco. There was a very fair sale of tobacco at the Dixie this morning. Primings were all that were offered, but they sold all the way from three cents to eight. The pile that brought eight was grown by Luke ISagerton of Jeff? reys. It was nothing extra and was bought by one of the regular buyers, indicating that nothing more than the regular market price was paid for it The warehouse men say that prices are going to be v%ry good this year. Florence T;mes, July 14. ? Philadelphia is still shuddering over a certain display made in connection with the recent wedding of Miss' Elsie Whelen to Rcbtert Goelet Sev? eral rooms at the bricVs home were given up to show gifts showered upon the yon us couple. A mong them were a number of*articles which made men beholders grin and brought Hushes to : the more modest female cheeks. They were articles without which ro trous- \ seau is complete, but no other bride had ever been Known to show them thus publicly. Ever since the wed? ding the matrons and maids of the Quaker citv . have been discussing "what Elsie did." Anderson, July 14.-Foolish flirting with a large bag of gunpowder caus? ed the mortal injury of William Craw- ! ford, a negro lad,> the burning of his father's house and outbuildings and all his forge. The boy, who is about 15 years old, is terribly burned and cannot recover. Tine house and out- ; buildings were on, the plantation pf" Sqjnire S. N. Brown, seven miles west of Anderson. Other members of the family escaped, taking the blinded and unconscious lad with them. They .eaved half their household goods. Baltimore, Md.., July 15.-The faculty of Johns Hopkins University Hospital has completed plans for a systematic and scientific fight against tuberculosis. It will be aided m?ter ially in carrying out its purpose by a gift of $20,Oro from Henry Phipps, of Pittsburg. Of this amount 810,000 will be U3ed in building a dispen? sary. The other $10.000 wiil be used asa maintenance fund. The build? ings will include a dispensary and aparrments tor scientific work. Gui? nea pigs, which are very susceptible to tuberculosis, will be kept for in? oculation. BCH'T FLOW TO THE SEI The Usual Order Reversed in the Cuse of Lake Assai's Tributa? ries. In Consol Skinner's recent report on his visit to Abyssinia he mentions one of the most curions bodies of waft ir in the world, though we rarely hear of it, says The New Yorkk Sun. He fiays that Lake Assal has an im? mense supply of good salt and holds ont very exceptional prospects to capi? talists. A concession has already beer, granted for the exploitation of the salt g. Lake Assal is a small body of very salt water lying, seven or eight miles inland from the Bay of Tadjoura, one of tie French possessions in East Af? rica. It comprises only about sixteen square miles. It is surrounded by a wonderful con? fusion of jagged mountains, descend? ing to the water's edge so that it is almost impossible to travel around it. Its waters are salt to the point of saV ura rion, and at its lowest level there is saen upon its bank a layer of nearly purs salt over a foot thick. For years nobody knew whence it derived its water. The few men who visited it could not ascertain that any stream flows into it. It was thought that the lake probably had subterran? ean affluents, but this theory was not demonstrated. The mystery of Lake Assal was solv? ed in 1885 hy the French explorer, Henry Aucon. He carefully examined the Shores, though he found it very diflicult His hard work was at last rewarded by the murmur of a waterfall. Guided by the sound he approached the spot, and the solution of the enigma was before him He found a -larie brook of crystalline water foam? ing: over the .stones and throwing it sell' impetuously into the lake. He tasted the water,. and found it as salt as the ocean, of which, indeed, it had bean a parr. ? J jake Assal lies considerably below thci surface of the sea. It has been ascertained that the water that pours into ic comes from three brooks which flow from the Gubbet el Karab, a li ttle bay at the extreme western end of the bay of Tadjoura. S 3?he waters of the Indian Ocean are cai ried inland to fill this depression in the interior, and when they reach Lake Ass?l they are about 40 feet be? low the level of the sea. From time to time the salt has been carried by caravans as far inland as Menelik's capital. jperhaps there are only two other instances known of water flowing in? land through brooks from the sea. Beth these brooks are in the island of Ce ph alan ia in the Ionian sea, west of Greece. > They are on the southwest side of the island, near the small town and port of Argostoli. .From a little way ; they flow near one another straight from the sea, and then follow differ? ent courses. Both streams finally disappear in the ground, probably reaching some subterranean reservoir whose waters nerhaps again reach the se* through fissures i? the*rocks. ? There is no tide in the sea here, and the flow ot the salt water streams is perfectly steady and continuous. AI Sorts cf Reduced Raies via the Atlantic Coast Line. Cincinnati.

When tne bile is not flowing freely into the bowels, it is taken up by the blood and ia deposited in all part? of the body. Ev? ery important organ, in fact, every tissue of the body, even to the skin layers, are affected by the poison ladened bile, lt saps the energy, dulls the brain, weakens the lungs and kidneys and invite? disease germs. It affects the heart, stomach and bowels, causing marked functional dis- ! turban oes that may result in disease. A bilious or jaundiced condition of the sys tem is very dangerous and should be cor rected at once. Rydale's Liver Tablets speedily cure biliousness.

THE NEWS AT MAGNOLIA. Crops Needing Rain-Personal Notes and Other Items of Local Interesf. Magnolia, July 15 -Corn in this section, is suffering for waut of rain, and without rain in two or three days the injury will be considerable. Just three miles west of this place rains have been plentiful. Cotton is un? usually fine but is beginning to show the effects of the extremely hot and dry weather. CoL and Mrs. J. A. Rhame left today for a week or ten days visit to Pawley's Island. Miss Lillie Rhame and Miss Maud Wilson have been visiting relatives in Timmonsville and returned today. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kirby, after several day's visit among relatives in this place, have returned to their home. Several candidates for positions to best serve the "good people" have been in town today. z. About every other man we meet, now? adays, is a candidate and a fellow > can't help but feel like he has a host of friends-even if they don't la t long. Taking every thing into consideration, this correspondent thinks they are, at times, a necessary evil. Our county chain gang is doing some fine work on the roads around here, and the work on the roads in the county seems pretty evenly distribut? ed, and little room for complaint. Supervisor DuRant is certainly trying to do his duty. Very little interest, so far, is being taken in politics. Mr. T. Gordon Griffin has com? menced work on his new store, to be used for millinery purposes this fall. Capt. Lee Kilpatrick is getting his team in trim for some fine match games later on. Tommie McIntosh^ and wife spent last week in this place, and their many friends hated to see them leave. Freddie Kirby is out again, after a severe attack of measles. Occasional CITY COUNCIL MEETING.' The City Coon neil met in regular session at 6 o'clock Wednesday even? ing with all members, except Adlermen Rowland and Finn ,present. . The minutes of June 22d were read and approved. Permission was granted M. H. Beck to erect a neat wooden awning on North Mian street, which must not obstruct the sidewalk in any way. The finance committee reported that ali bills referred to it had been dis? posed of. The fire department committee made report of recent hydrant tests showing inadequate service. They recommend? ed that the Hook and Ladder Co. increase their membership to 25 men, and that proper rules be made for their government. Also that this company be provided with axes, picks, &c., needed by them; and that this company be allowed to ujse the build? ing west of No. 3 Hose Co. house for their apparatus. Tte committee an? nounced the appointment of Mr. H. W. Hoed as Chief of the Fire Depart? ment during the temporary absence of the regular Chief and Assistant Chief. The report was adopted. The committee of public works re? ported a good force of laborers on the streets and the work on Turkey Creek making satisfactory progress under Mr. Tribble. The committee had no report iu ref? erence to the claim of Mr. D. G. Zeigler for plans for fire escapes and steam heating for the Opera House. The Council discussed this claim and ordered payment of $13.75 for ventila? tors for Opera Honse and 840 for fire escape plans, as there was some .au? thority for that work. The Council refused to allow $40 for steam heating plans as Council had not requested or authorized Mr. Zeigler tu prepare such plans. Mr. Haynsworth reported a request from Ducker & Bult man that the store occupied by them in Opera House building be painted inside. Referred to the committee of public works with power to act. The Clerk was authorized to order a recording water gauge to be placed in his office. The request of Mrs. Ella Tuomey that Council bear one half the cost of a concrete pavement in front of one of her stores on S. Main street was refer? red to the committee of public works with power to act. An annual license for $12 was grant? ed to F. C^ Stoney for the privilege of running a lunch wagon on the streets. The Clerk .stated that the Sumter Electric Light Co. declined to allow certain charges against them for lights not burning, on the ground that this was not their fault, having been caus? ed by telephone wires crossing the electric light wires, making a shut down necessary to save their property -perhaps to save life. Council thought the city was not responsible for such occurrences and directed the Clerk to deduct in all such instances. The Mayor and Clerk were author? ized by unanimous vote to borrow $2,000 for necessary current expenses of the city from the First" National Bank. On motion of Messrs. Haynsworth and Hood, the following resolution was adopted : d "Learning that th3 South Carolina State Dential Association meets at White Stone Springs on the 19th in? stant : Resolved, that the Mayor, who is president of that body, be requested to invite them to hold their next an? nual meeting in our city." The Clerk and Treasurer's report for June and a number of claims were referred to the finance committee, and Cuoncil then adjourned. Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten Years' Suffering. .'I wish to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain's Col io, Cholera and Diar? rhoea Remedy," says Mrs. Mattie Burge, of Martinsville, Va. "I suffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and dur? ing that time tried various medicines without obtaining any permanent relief. Last summer one of ny children was taken with cholera morbu3, and I procured a \?ottle of this remedy. Only two doses wt re reqnired to give her entire relief. I thea decided to try the medicine myself, and did not use all of one bottle before I was well fcnd I have never since been troubled with that complaint. One can? not say too much in favor of that won der ful medieine." This r.medy is for sale by China's Drug Store. Off for the Encampment.

Last Thursday evening during a thunder storm lightning struck a clothes wire in the yard of Mr. J H. Hopkins, splintering the posts, and then struck a large oak near the house. Mr. Hopkins who was in the house was badly stunned, and his little boy who was at an open window had his face burned by tbe flash. A protracted meeting will begin at Hephzibah Presbyterian church on Tuesday, JuJy 19, conducted by Rev. Geo. A. Blackburn of Columbia, S. C. There will be preaching every morning at ll o"clock and at night at 8.30 o'clock. ? The public is cordially invited to attend these services. Mr. Sid Law accompanied by his wife was driven into town late Tues? day evening by Prince Rivers, an old colored man, and went at once to the McLeod Drug Store and asked for surgical treatment. Drs. McLeod and Jennings responded promptly and found his left shoulder riddled with small shot. From a statement made by Mr. Law, it appears that be had a difficulty with Mr. Tom Barnes and his brother'Dunk which resulted in Tom shooting^ at Mr. Law and Law returned the fire and was then shot from another direction by Dunk Barn nes. The Doctors say bis wounds are painful but not serious.-Vindicator. Presentment of Grand Jury. To the Honorable James Aldrich, Presiding Judge. Committees of the Grand Jury bave visited the county jail and the county poor house. . At the jail* work that was recom? mended to be done was nearing com? pletion.' In consultation with the County Supervisor about sending sick convicts to the jail, the Grand Jury see no remedy for the evils of the cus? tom ' as complained of by the Health O'fficer cf the City of Sumter. They recommend that tue Sheriff's attention be called to the matter and the Super visor be asked, if in his power to do so, to send along with any sick pris? oner who may be returned to the jail, some one of the convicts who may not be capable ofcfull work on the roads, to help in the sanitation of the prem? ises. The Grand Jury are disposed to condemhi^tbe location' of dry wells about the public bnildingx. It is said to be done with a veiw to lessen the current expenses of tbe county, but the Grand Jury deems it a saving at the expense of the rules of sanita? tion. The countyxpoor house was visited and the Grand Jury found there as in? mates, well taken care of, 19 whites and *9 colored. Besides these 28 inmates of the poor house the County Com? missioners apportion a small sum monthly to help along 8 needy Confed? erate veterans. Some repairs, to the roof of the kitchen at the po,or house are needed, and we recommend that they be made. In the Treasurer's office the Grand Jury found that the Magistrates, except in one instance, have not made monthly returns of fines, etc., collect? ed as required by law. . Money collected from fines has been paid over to the Treasurer, but when there is no money on hand tb turn over to the Treasurer a monthly re turu is required* by the law. The intent of the law is obvious, and the Grand Jury recommend that in future it be strictly complied with The Treasurer's annual settlement with the Comptroller General will take place shortly. After that the Grand Jury will go fully into the details of the work of the office. At the present time the Treasurer's books, show an exact equilibrium between debtis and credits.. Visits to the other county offices and the work therein noted will be made later on when the work, chiefly in the county, commissioners office, is more advanced and the books are in a condensed shape. The Grand Jury learns from the couur> auditor that but few returns BIL* made under the provisions of the direct Tax Law. The provisions of the law are stringent The auditor give one blank forms of returns to be filled up by those persons and cor? porations supposed to have incomes liable to assessment under the law. His efforts have been of no effect as the record in his office will show. The Grand Jury recommends that the county auditor exercise the powers given him in the law in order to equalize the burden of \ direct axation, and reach those persons and corpora? tions who may be liable to assessment under the terms of the act.
