Th- rtr?t returning section of tie Carolina delegation to the Mg Con? vention of the National Association of Advertising Clubs of America, held August 1 to 4 at Boston, arrived here yesterday afternoon on the Clyde steamer Apache. Among those who returned yesterday were President M. C. Maxwell, of the Charleston Ad Club; Secretary A. McP. Hamby, of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce; LaCoste Evans, of the Cheraw hoard of trade, and Messrs W. W. Wanna maker and Havelock Evans, of the Orangeburg Chamber of Commerce, and A I' Matheson. of Hennettsvllle. President Maxwel said th.- entire trip had bssn most pleasant and profi? table The rest of the South Carolina delegation, headed by Secretary A. W. M< K Mini remained for the full ses? sion of the Convention. Prudent M C. Maxwell, of the Charleston Ad ciub. when seen by a reporter for The News and Courier yesterday afternoon and asked what Impression the Carolinians made, said "The Carolinians were most cswdtally received and made a decid? ed Impression. The Palmetto badge wss the centre of interest. The Meis? tersinger? Qusrtette was a decided hit all the way up and throughout the poMon Convention. "New York and Boston papers fea ?jred the Carolina delegation, 'Hie Roeton Transcript save two columns of Pecretary McKeand s speech and other paper* carried equally valu? able advertising for the State of South Carolina and the South. The delegation was besieged with (.usettons from business men In the anxious to know of commercial. InunstrM and agricultural conditions and opportunities In this section. It Is the unanimous opinion of the re? turning boosters that this trip was nn rd vert Ising feature of Incalculable value to the entire State. The Printers Ink cup Is offered an? nual^ to the State making the bent show of progress along advertising lines and the stay-at-homes can get some Idea of the wide swath the South Carolinians cut when I say that the Carolina delegation was regarded the favorites In the race for the cup. to be kkept for one year bv the win? ners." President Maxwell spoke In glowing terms of the splendid work done by the Cp-State delegatee headed by Secretary llamhy. of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce. The progres? sive cities of the rest of the State worked shoulder to shoulder with the Charleston crowd and vied with each other la boosting the wind,. St it.- ami the entire State. In fact, the dele ga'*<* from up the State were a tre mendouo addition to the boosters and It Is believed the trip will more and more result In harmonious team work on the part of progressive men of the entire State for the good of all. President Maxwell said that fie- one thins that impressed him above all othen wi- that the newspapers re? ceived the universal and unqualified on do-seanead af ins id Men ai antss] the best advertising mediums for all purposes. Various kinds of advertis? ing were Bfjalgai of snd praised for their especial purpos^a, but It was de? clared by nil that th .- i . were the best mediums at all times and for a'l things. Th?? most Important feature In ad? vertising was the absolute n. essity of telling the truth, ami nothing but the truth, declared the advertising ex? perts from all over th?? world Mr. Maxwell. In speaking of the Melate rslngers* Quartett? .said that; they made ? hit at the opening of the convention and grew steadily In [>oi alarltv till their singing was the topic of the day.

He was one of the very biggest advertising cards for the South in the whole Convention. Mr. Maxwell says the delegate from the various States were known by their dress, their badges and their banners, but that no State delegation appeared to better advantage than did the South Carolina boys, in their white duck suits, cocked hats and neat litle walking canes. The cockk ed hats were ornamented with a big gte. h badge bearing the palmetto tree. The Missouri delegation wore straw hats, with red ribbon bands. on which were printed in large letters, ?Show Mr." The Canadians dressed SJ Scotch Highlanders, and their parade was a novel feature, w hen in ?Tory man played a different musical instrument, and also g different tune. The Georgia la ys wore broad-brimm? ed ploughmen's hats, with ribbon bands be.i ring the words, "Atlanta in IUI."

FATAL ACCIDENT AT ANDERSON COUNTY HOSPITAL. Ml*s Mabel Thompson, Superintend? ent of institution. Receives Fearful Injuries in kerosene Lamp Explo? sion and Dies Soon Afterwards? MKs Moffett, None, ami Hospital Orderly also Severely Burned, but will Recover?Details of Distress? ing Affair. And irson, Aug, 7.?As the result of an explosion at the Anderson County Hospital this Afternoon) Miss Mabel Carpenter Thompson, the superin? tendent Of the institution, is dead, Miss Josie Moffett, a trained nurse. Of Cs,^ West, is badly burned and Charles Barnes, the hospital's negro orderly, who held the kerosene lamp when it exploded, is suffering with an ugly gash In the heed and painful burns on the arms, hands and face. Miss Moffett and the negro orderly are painfully injured and are con i fined to their beds, but are expected to be back at their work within the DeXl Week" or ten days. Miss Moffett's injuries are on her hand and arms. The explosion occurred when the orderly was pointing out to a plumber p defect in the primer kerosene lamp, that is used to heat the steril? izing machine* The negro pumped air into the lamp, to show where it was leaking. Boms screw about the lamp must base been loose, for the ex? plosion followed, hurling the top of the lamp toward IftSS Thompson, who was looking on. Practically all of the kerosene was thrown on Miss Thompson, and in a second's time she was OAS mass of flames. Her face, head, arm and chest were saturated with oil and before assistance could reach her, she was burned horribly. She very probably swallowed some of the gsj iind the flames. Miss Moffett was attracted from the adjoining room and she had pres? ence of mind enough to gather up the carpet Off lbs iloor and throw it around Miss Thompson who was thrown to the floor and rolled over and over. The chemical fire extinguishers were brought Into use and in a few moments the blaze was extinguished. In the fight against the fire, Miss Mof? fett received her wounds. The negro orderly received his wounds when the explosion occurred, a flying part of the lamp hitting him on the head, and the flames leaping to his face. Won.en and Money. The household economic depart? ment of the University Of Wisconsin has issued a bulletin which will create universal astonishment, and nowhere more than in the dry goods stores. This bulletin recites that $10,000. ?.,000 a year are spent in general ihoppitg, nine-tenths of It by women, and the greater part of these know nothing of tin- value of money. The University Ol Wisconsin has long been famous for Its enterprise in meeting the practical needs cd' the people, it will teach Greek to per? sons Who wish to know Greek, but It will also teach butter-making to the far greater number of persons w ho wish to know how to make gilt i dged butter. Hence its department of house economics, which more near? ly concerns th? community than astronomy, geology and the higher mathmmattca if this department will devote Itself to teaching dress? making, millinery and cooking, it will add greatly to th happiness of the State of Wisconsin i nd the state of matrimony.

Made by Milli of the South. Washing! ?n, Aug. 7.?Dig gobs of joy are t<> be seen on the faces of lb publican congressmen because they claim to 1 ; ve found the "joker" in the cotton >ill. Repreeen :ative Prouty of Iowa wants the credit for this discovery, which he ? posed, he says, in a speech on the tloi ? a day or so ago. The gis; of the charge made by Prouty wat that the bill was so framed a- to increase duties on a large proportion of the lower priced cotton gou.s. He further charged that the b Ilk "f these goods are made in Souther cotton mills. He charged Represent ive Underwood and the house Democrats with making up a cotton bill w hich struck at the North? ern cotton nills and gave a large part of the Sou hern mills increased pro? tection. Until MI, Prouty called atention to this ma ter it had almost entirely escaped ti ? attention of the house. At the ti ne the charges of the Iowa member w re not controverted either by Mr. Un lerwood or any one else. Since then senators have been scan? ning the h)USS cotton bill and some of them h; ve come to the conclusion that there ire increases in the meas? ure subst intlally as charged by Prouty. ' 'he result is that when the bill comes jefore the senate the rates on lower grades of cotton goods are going to b scrutinized with extreme care. Since he brought the matter to the attention 01 the house, Mr. Prouty has i been looking into the question farther. He has co ne to the conclusion that a large par of the mills of the South are engage l chiefly in producing the goods on w hich duti*>s w ould be rais? ed. He charg's that the Southern Dem? OCratS in the house are trying to work a scheme t tat w ill actually Increase Southern p *otection and lower pro. tection to Northern products, in oth? er words, e charges that sectional? ism is crop dug out in the revision of the tariff. If there i a serious attempt made to put a hi through the senate, with increased duties on lower grades of cotton good ?, it will he met w Ith bit? ter opposltl >n. In fact, such an at? tempt may lefeat the paasage of any cotton bill. If it should develop on the full thi ishlng out of this matter that South? tl Democrats are trying to shape tai iff duties In their own in terest, an are giving attention to protecting ie South at the expense of the Nor h, the Republicans will proceed to take a campaign issue of I it.

TaUntis went ahead and leased the place now oc? cupied by Chris, for a length of time after his present lease expired. This made Chris angry. The other par? ties had left their grips in Gazes' restaurant and shortly after the left Chris had a warrant sworn out ' barging them with stealing a pocket book from his coat which was hang? ing in his restaurant. Their grips were searched and the pocket book was found. The three Greeks denied having taken the money and pocket l ook and as Chris had stated very ( conclusively where the pocket book was to be found, it was through that he had tried to get the other Greek3 in trouble, after they had secured the lease over his.
