The sym -pathy of the entire community is with the family in their great time of .?rouble. "EX-GOT. CHAMBERLAIN* LEAVES COUNTRY. JV immunes to End His Days In Europe. D. H. Chamberlain, the last carpet? bag governor of South Carolina, has expatriated himself and is fully de? termine i to spend the rest of his days E rope; He has disposed of all his '.roperty in West Brookfield. Mass., including the .beautiful home "Elm Knoll," on the shores of Wick aboag Pond and has severed all con? nection in this country. When Governor Chamberlain left South Carolina for South Carolina's good in '76, he settled in Xew York and took up the practice of law. -Since then, as a very private citizen, he has several times returned to Columbia in the winter months when "traveling South for his health. On .these visits he has always been kind- J ly received and indeed, has borne j himself modestly and spoken pleas- j antly of happenings during his first memorable stay. In 1S95 he left New York and moved to W<?st Brookfield. At first he was held in high regard there, but bis constant struggles for local office gradually alienated his friends in Massachusetts. Feeling his isolation, he determined to leave this country. His neice, Mrs. George Cantersburg, says that she never expects to see him again on this side the water. It was probably the same sense of isolation-and more of it-that made him leave South- Carolina in seventy six. Mr. Blight Williamson president of j the Bank of Darlinstcn and Miss Margaret Jones of Shelby, X. C.. were j Wedhesday. *As a dressing for sores, bruises and burns Chamberlain's Salve is ali that can be desired. It is soothing .and healing in its effect. It allays the pain of a burn almost instantly. This -salve is also a certain cure for chap? ped hands and diseases of the skin. Price 25 cents. For sale by all drug gists. A Charleston correspondent says that "Town" is overrun with a new breed of ants that even borax does not hurp/ They are black instead of the usu**, orown, and one wonders if this is another phase of the colored question. *A bath cleanses the skin and rids the pores of refuse. A bath makes for better fellowship and citizenship. Xot only should the outside of the body be cleansed, but occasional use of a laxative or cathartic opens the bowels and clears the system of ef? fete matter. Best* for .this are .

Pay Inspector Samuel McGowan, of Charleston, will probably be re rained in Washington as Assistant to Eustace B. Rogers, newly appointed | paymaster general. *When two strong men come to "blows, even if they are well matched, it is not a pleasing sight, but if the juan who gets the.worst of it will use Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve, he will look better and feel better in short order. Be sure you get Dewitt's. -Gocjd for everything a salve is used -for. including piles. Sold by all drug' gists.

Export Rates on Cotton Arc Fixed by English Markers and the Abun? dance or Scarcity of Ships Cause Great Fluctuations on Through Rates. Washington, Sept. 12.-For the first time since the new railroad rate law went into effect, the full member? ship of the Interstate Commerce Commission was present at the hear? ing today over the question of ex? port cotton rates. Several score of railroad men from the cotton I carrying lines and cotton shippers were present and all were amply represented by eminent coun? sel. The commission was asked to modify that provision of the law re? quiring the railways to give thirty days notice, by publication, before changing rates. The railways main? tain that the export rate for cotton is changed by the English markets and declare that so great and rapid are the fluctuations in rates by reason of the abundance or scarcity of bot? toms for ocean carrying that it would be an impossibility to obey the law and maintain an export through rate. A BAD SMASH. Trains 'Collide In Florence Yards In Dense Fog-Two Men Wounded. Florence, Sept. 12.-There was a very serious wreck at the west end of the yards this morning at about half past eight o'clock the pay train and a string of cars attached to a shifting engine came together injur? ing Oscar Hinton, the conductor of the pay train and slightly wounding engineer Johnson of the shifting en? gine. The accident was due to a very dense fog which hung over the place, the edge of the cloud being just about the iron works. The shifter was pulling her string down the yards backwards and the engine of the pay train was coming in from Mayesville pulling backwards. The paymaster's staff were all in the living compart? ments of the car and escaped unhurt. The two tenders were completely de? molished and are lying in scrap iron I on the sides of the track. The front 1 Af the enc'^r' >f th r*av train ! driven half through the pay ear.

C., Sept. 12.-The unanimous advice of people about the Department of Justice who have any? thing to do with the prosecutions of the Standard Oil Company is not to purchase . Standard Oil Stock. There is a general belief that the Standard, in fear of being fined several mil? lion dollars as the result of the pros? ecution which the department is now pressing in the United States Court, in Illinois, will attempt to unload a good portion of its stock, in order to make others bear the brunt of the hard knock the court is expected ? to give the monopoly. The Standard is capitalized at $100, 000,000. The stock is worth about $600; so that the actual present value of the total stock of the Standard is $600,000.000. If the Standard should be mulced $1,250,000 in fines, the limit, it would be but little more than 1 per cent, assessed against the cap- j ital stock; but it is believed that the j palmy days of the Standard Oil are j about to pass. It will never again be the bonanza it has been in the past, I while secret rebates flourished and I independent dealers could be crushed j ! at will. *Good for cough, removes the cold, the cause of the cough.

For sale by ail j ANNEXATION COMING. TILE DISTURBANCE IN CUBA HAS REACHED A CRITICAL STAGE. The Drift of Affairs Shows That It Will Scon Be Necessary For United States to Take a Hand In the Game Washington, Sept. 12.-The infor I mation upon which President Roose? velt decided to invest Cuba with war ships came from President Palma. When the- revolutionists threatened j the Cuban capital. President Roose ? velt directed the State Department to instruct Charge de Affairs Sleeper at Havana, to obtain from President Pal? ma full information as to the real situation. He learned that the revo? lution is spreading at an alarming rate not only in the Provinces but even in the city of Havana. The administration is very doubt ' ful of its ability to crush the uprising. The fact that President Palma and his advisers were on the verge of be I coming panic stricken showed how serious the situation was. Whether Palma actually suggested the pres I ence of American war ships has not been disclosed here, but at any rate the information he gave Mr. Sleepers was of sufficient gravity for President Roosevelt to take the precautionary measures he put into effect yesterday. - It may be stated positively that President Roosevelt's course does not contemplate intervention at this time. Should intervention, however, become necessary in order to preserve the island from anarchy, he will have the means at hand to act quickly. i Other vessels will probably tallow those already on the scene. TILLMAN ON PRIMARY. Says He Was Merely After the Legis? lature, and Claims a Majority. The Columbia States publishes the following interview: Senator R. B. Tillman was in the city for a short while yesterday on his way from Trenton to Charlotte, X. C., where he was to deliver an ad? dress to the Chautauqua last night. While here he sent for some news? paper men and was interviewed. He made the declaration that the legislature will be in favor of the dis? pensary-. Others who have had more time to read the platforms of the leg? islative candidates as expressed in the 1 campaign, declared that the Morgan ; or some such bili, will pass the j house next winter with ten vote-- to i spare. I Sen i . Lman v. -~ ?cen by the representative of the State in Char? lotte, who wired last night: "The senator talked freely, and while at teh outset giving the impres? sion that he considered the dispen? sary forces in the light of victor rather than vanquished, he displayed considerable feeling before the inter? view ended. "If my opponents are satisfied," declared he, "with the results of the primaries yesterday, I certainly am. I didn't get a chance to vote in the first primary, but I voted yesterday, and while the gentlemen for whom I cast my vote were defeated, that fact neither surprises nor disturbs me. "The governor cannot make the laws, nor can he repeal those already on the statute books. The dispensary will have, according to the informa? tion I have received, a safe working majority in both the house and sen? ate, something like ten or more. My fight was on the legislature and for this occasion I say I have won my fight. > "The prohibitionisas, blind tigers, local optionists and high license ad? vocates made common cause against the dispensary, knowing that its de? feat would enable them to carry out their nefarious schemes, but this un? holy alliance did not accomplish its desires. "We will clean out the dispensary, set it upon its feet, strengthen it and then we will see how well Ansel en? forces the law. So far from being hurt about being, scratched.'' he de? clared. "I am gratified td know that despite what the newspapers have been saying about the matter, I have been scratched this time just four times less than I vas last. "I hope our new governor will do his own thinking and not give heed to the Columbia ring." *The laxative effect of Chamber Iain's Stomach and Liver Tablets is so agreeable and so natural you can hardly realize that it is produced by a medicine.
