KNOCKING JAMESTOWN. Seri?os Friction Between Federal Au? thorities and Exposition Officials JejrJous of Exposition as a Southern Enterprise. Washington, May 25.-There is a report in circulation of serious fric? tion between the r. anas- ment of the J-imestown Exposition ar.el the au? thorities at Washington. This story hrs not come out on the surface yet, but it is ?aid that everyone on both sides is tired end a^gry and that it would need little to bring about an .open rupture. It is claimed that the whole trouble is jealousy cn the part of federal officials-of Jamestown as a southern enterprise. Admiral Robley Evans, the "Fighting Lob" of the na? vy, is credited with fomenting the disturbance. He was in command of the American fleet at Jamestown and the complaint is that- he has handi? capped the displays there by failing to send detachments of sailors on shore for various ceremonies when they were wanted, and ceasing the foreign fleets out of the harbor before they were ready to go. It is said that on the opening day of the exposition he was not going to send any sailers r rh ore to take part in the display and 'was only brought to time hy a sharp telegram from the secretary of . the navy. Afterward it MS said ? that he urged ihe departure of the foreign fieets which were expected to remain and be a part of the display so long a? the exposition lasted. Admiral Evans laughs at tue report and says he has done everything he could to make the exposition a success, and if there is any trouble it is because of the incompetent local management of the exposition. The navy department of course enters an ofhciai denial to ? the whole story, but" the fact remains that the British squadron pulled up anchor and left just before James? town day. which they were supposed to htjlp celebrate and the action of the war department in calling off a luncheon that had been arranged in honor of Gen. Kuroki all indicate that ; the official attitude of sc^me of the high officials in Washington has not been as friendly as might have been expected. . ? . A curious search has just been con? cluded by an English lawyer in AVashington th^.t ended in the ceme? tery of the government insane asylum ai Saint Elizabeth's across the East- j ern Branch of the Potomac. The ' lawyer was here trying to locate the! heir to a fortune of $6,000,000 left by a vealthy manufacturer in Eng- : land. The legal heir would have been j one John Cook, a nephew of the dead man. A long search in this country indicated that he had come to Wash- ; ingion. and the lawyer fully expected to find -him here. After considerable trouble he found that Cook had gone . down in the world and finally after being arrested as a vagrant on the street, had been committed to the government asylum as an insane pau? per. No one knew anything about h'm, and after-ling-ring at . the asy lum for a while e he died and was buried at public expvr.se in the little cemetery attached to the institution. At this veiy time the fortune of $6, 000.000 was awaiting him in England, j There was no record of any other heirs to the money except a sister of j the dead man who is now a perma- j bent inmate of an insane asylum in ? Norfolk. Va. Some of the money was j set-aside to pay her expenses in that, institution and the remainder of the : immense sum *will revert to the j Bi tish crown for lack of an owner. * * * One of the ablest addresses deliver? ed at the Lake Mohonk Peace Con- ! terence this week was by the million? aire ambassador from Mexico. Senor Creel, who has been one pf the noted figures ia diplomatic life here since his appointment to succeed the late Senor Aspiroz. Senor Creel spoke in favor of what* is known as the Drago Doctrine which ls a sort of supple? ment to the Monroe Doctrine, and de? clares against the right of a foreign power to collect debts by force of arms from any of the American re? publics. The doctrine has been nam? ed after the secretary of State of Brazil, by whom it was elucidated and warmly supported, bul Senor Creel gave the credit for its inception to Elihu Root, the American secre? tary of St'te. He declared that it i-..et with the hearty approval not only of Mexico, but of all the Central and South Am-rican republics, and it seems that it will be adopted by the countries' of this hemisphere as a fit? ting corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. It is not likely that it will ever be for? mally recognized by the powers of Europe any more than the Monroe is now. but if it is as thoroughly re? spected as the Monroe Doctrine al? ways has been, that will be sufficient foi all practical purposes. * * * Of the subjects that has been brought up every once in a while by the postoffice department is the adop? tion of stamp selling machines, flier. was a trial of s .ich machines about a year ago. and while there were some that worked, they were ali crude and none were adopted. Now there is to be another test of machines that . will sell one cent and five cent stamps ' and postal cards. It is understood that some of the machines have been improved to the point where they will be acceptable to the department. j Their adoption would be a conveni ? ence for many places in the city, and i it is known that they would be j largely installed by hotels and drug ! stores and many places where there ! are not now branch postornecs. Eut j the most valuable locations for thru. will be in country railway stations] and other places where there :s fr- , quently great demand for stamps and j I rio way of supplying it. A .-ramp is j ? one of the cheapest things, but if I: is ! j wanted and not to be had. it as-j ?sumes a value beyond its. intrinsic ] worth. It is very "much like wanting a match when a man has a pipe full ; of tobacco and no way Of lighting it. i If the department can get a satisfac ! tory penny In the slot machine for < I . selling stamps, it will be one of the ? I greatest bc'?ns in the oostal line that . : has been granted to tne country popu- j j dation sine:- the establishment of the! rural free aehvery siystem. i i i V * * * ' lt is announced that the strike of { ? the steam shovel workers on the . i- thrr.us of Panama lias been called . ?ff and that all of the men affected have gone back to work. This ends the onie labor trouble on the Isthmus i j between the 5.000 white employes. ! The shovels are making about 75 j per cent of the record that they were j j making in the dry season, and as the j j rains are now on, this is considered a j ! very good showing Cow Peas. Don't think of not planting a full j j crop of cow peas because you think j i the seed too high. j .Where the seed is scarce plant m ?

Thrash out peas and vines with a j thresher or stick. This threshing of j the vines improves the mechanical j condition of the hay and solves the ! problem as to the cheapest method of 1 gathering cow peas. j You can well afford to pay even $4 j per bushel for cow peas rather than I do without the crop.-J.

PECULIAR CASE IX NEWBERRY Dentist is Charged With Causing: Woman's Death-Drug is Used in Extraction. Newberry.

Ci:nt Armstrong, and claimed to rep? resent a Greenville house, which had several traveling dentists on the road. -Before extracting the teeth he inject? ed a fluid into Mrs. Berry's gums to deaden the pain. In a sh^rt time af? ter the drawing rf the teeth, she be? gan to grow weaker and weaker and d-ed very soon of heart failure, evi? dently the effect of tho drug adminis? tered. Armstrong, the same man, also drew two teeth for Mis? Victoria Riv? ers, a sister of Mrs. Berry, and she came near dying also: in fact, it was i thought she would 'die, but by hard , work the doctors have succeeded in ! saving her life. When Armstrong saw what he had j done he stated that the lady -.vas sick j fr.-.in some other cause and advised : that a practicing physician be called ? and he left and could not be found. Telegrams were -sent to the sur- ! rounding towns for Armstrong's ar- 1 rest and late this evening he was ar- j rested in Clinton.

I Yesterday a friend who had beard that I sometimes suffer from insom? nia, told me of a sure cure. "Eat a I int of peanuts and uah two or three glasses of milk before going to bcd." said he. "and I'll warrant you'll ? be asleep within half an heur." i did as he suggested, and now for the ben? efit of others who may be afflicted with insomnia. I feel it to be my duty to report what happened, so far as I , am able this morning to recall the de> .tails. First, let rae say my friend wa-" right. I did go to sleep very soon, alter my retirement Then a friend with his head under ; his a,-ni came alor.g and asked me if I wanted to buy his feet. I was negotiating with him when the dragon on which X was riding shoped out of his skin and left me floating m mid-air. While I was ! considering hov. I should, get down, a j bull with two heads peered over the ; edge of the well and said ho would ; haul me up if would first climb up and rig a windlass for him. So as i i was sliding down the mountain side, the break man came in. and I asked him when the train would reach my station. "We passed your station four hundred years ago," he said, calmly folding the train up and slipping lt I into his vest pocket, i At this juncture the clown bounded I into the ring- and pulled the center po]e'out of the ground, lifting the tent and all the people in it up. up. while ? stood on the earth below watching myself go out of sight aniong the clouds above. While I was wondering whether I ; should ever meet myself again, and whether it would be Quite polite' for mc to speak to myself without an in? troduction, the stage-driver announc? ed that his horses had turned to stone and before I had time to ask him what he was going to do about it, I : discovered that my legs had grown so j long that I couldn't see my feet with j out a telescope. I was seated on a horn of the moon, shortening my legs by tying bow knots in them when a young woman came out from behind' the candy counter and said she had been looking all over creation for me, and now she had found me she would never, no never let me from her sight again. At this instant I looked bot?: ways from the middle of the bridge where I was standing, and saw. a train coming to? ward me from each, direction. Then just before the trains met, ? looked over the edge of the basket and saw that the balloon was upside down and rushing towards the earth with terri ' ble velocity. So I opened the cellar j door and went downstairs until I came to the attic, while I sat on the bank of the river and knitted a pair of woollen socks for a rattlesnake. Then I awoke and found that ? had been a:-?ee . almost ten minutes.-Se i Iiected. j * Th ere is no case of Indigestion, no ; r : a t e r "now jr r?t a b le or how o b s t i n a t e j that will hot be speedOy relieved by th- use of Kodol.
