The Newberry Case ExcelIed by Camden
-Fifty-Nine Persons Made Ill at a
Church FestivaI-one Child Dead and
Several Victims Not Out of Danger.
Camden Special Charleston Netos and CoW-
riey, 9Th.
On Friday afternoon the ladies of the
Baptist Church served ice cream in behalf
of their church, and a number of our
people attended and partook of it. Satur-
day morning and yesterday fifty-nine per-
sons were taken violently i'll, and every
physician in town has been constantly en-
gagged in attending them. Thus far only one
has died, young daughter OF Mr.. u. u.
SILVER. The cause of the poisoning has
thus far baff1ed explanations. Whether
it is in the fiavoring or from the vessel
used in making the custard, or from the
freeZers, has not been determined. Some
say the symptoms indicate arsenic, others
say zinc. The whole town is excited
about it, and great sympathy is felt for
the afflicted. Mr.. Ayerill, of the South
Carolina Railway, offered the free use of
train to get extra physicians. Some of
the custard will be sent to Charleston for
ANALYSIS. The physicians think the crisis
is over in about two-thirds of the cases.
The others are still very i'll.
Another correspondent of the NctcS ana
Courier says: sit has been the custom OF
the ladies connected with the several re-
ligiOus denominations in Camden for sew
eraI years past to serve ice cream upon
certain days in each week, for the benefit
of their respective churches. On last
Friday afternoon the ladies of the Baptist
Church here dispensed this universally
sought for refreshment, as has been their
wont in the past. The entertainment
was attended by about one hundred
persons, most of whom were children.
On Saturday physicians were summoned
to attend about thirty of those who par
took of ice cream on the previous after
noon, the patients having been attacked
with severe pain in the stomach, VOmlt-
ing, headache, etc. Yesterday our physi-
clans had fifty-nine patients, who were
taken i'll from the effects of the ice cream
taken on Friday, and to-day there are
siXty-five cases in hand. We have only
three practicing physicians here, and
they have been constantly on the go night
and day since Saturday. A consultation
was held yesterday morning, but the con-
clusion arrived at was merely theoretical.
From what l can learn the doctors seem
to be of the opinion that this dire calami-
ty which has befallen our community has
been caused by arsenic poison, the symp-
toms indicating that such is the case.
But one death has thus far occurred. A
little DAUGHTER of Mr.. &. ID. SILVER, engi-
neer on the Camden branch, died yester-
day morning from the effects of the poi
SON. There are several others who are
extremely ill, and fears are entertained
that they cannot survive. This is a terri
bic blow to our people. A pail hangs
over our town.
The Town Council of Camden will like
ly take this matter in hand and have
some of the ice cream and the vanilla eX-
tracts used in flavoring the cream ana
lyzed.

Savannah VS.. Norfolk

Some of our delegates to the National
. Cotton Exchange who have recently re-
turned are inclined, we think, to view too
favOrably the facilities and advantages
which Norfolk and other Virginia ports
enjoy for handling and shipping cotton.
These ports, they say, seriously threaten
to draw away from Savannah and Charles
ton a large and steadily increasing per
cent. of their cotton business. The rea-
sons they give for this statement are
cheaper freight rates, better harboF faclh-
ties and cheaper handling OF cotton
from the time it reaches the sea-
board until it is slowed on ship
board. There may be something in all
these reasons, but is there enough to
offset the very great advantage Savannah
enjoys on account Of her pOsitiOng This
city is Immediately in the cotton belt,
while Norfolk is long way from it. This
port is the natural outlet for very large
part of the cotton region. Much OF the
cotton that goes to Norfolk is diverted
from its natural channel. 1t is diverted be-
cause there are Instructions which pre-
vent it from seeking its natural outlet.
Allt Vi lutSt ODsLl NlCAAVho - NA-S IDO-A--7
system adopted by the railways which
transport the cotton of the territory tribu
taFy-to this city. The system has been
condemned bv our Cotton Exchange, and
a strong pressure will be brought to bear
on the railways terminating here to
| abandon it. Another of the Instructions
/ is the unwise action of our ship brokers
/ in declining to accept as freight cotton
compressed in the interior. An obstruction
was the system of CHASING cotton which
/ gave the impression to planters that
| prices ruled lower here than elsewhere.
/ This obstruction has been removed. The
| cost of COMPRISING. which is claimed to
/ be too great, is also an obstruction. There
/ is no one of the distractions that cannot
/ be removed. Patience, energy and de-
/ termination will remove them, and the
/ cotton that naturally belongs here will
| come here. All of these matters, how
ever. were fully and ably discussed by a
/ committee of the Cotton Exchange last
/ June. We speak of them now not with
| the idea that we are presenting some
/ thing new. but for the purpose of remind
/ ing our cotton men that the adoption of
resolutions will not accomplish the object
/ they aimed at They must follow up their
resolutions with persistent and determined
action. They know what the Obstruc-
tiOns are which divert cotton from here.
/ They should not rest until these Obstruc-
tiOns are removed. Norfolk cannot draw
cotton away from Savannah by reason of
any advantage that she possesses. The
/ talk about the advantages of Norfolk
/ harbor amounts to very little. Vessels
/ drawing nineteen feet can reach our
/ wharves. and the time is not far distant
when we can accommodate vessels of
much greater draft. The river improve
ments now in progress promise to give us
I about all the water we want. If Norfolk
draws our business away from us it Will
be by the exercise of superior tact and
business shrewdness. We are not ready
to admit that there are better or shrewder
business men anywhere than in Sa-
yannah.

terrible scenes in Cairo.
liverpool Mercury

The condition of Cairo is now said to be
very serious. Disorders have arisen in
consequence of the conflict between the
people and the Gordon. The Project of
Police grossly insulted Colonel Prescott
and showed himself generally hostile to
all sanitary precautions. The Project
was therefore dismissed, but the apathy
and ignorance of the officials, from the
highest to the lowest, are, the Alexandria
correspondent of the Times says, as dan
gerous as open opposition. In spite Of
the proved uselessness and cruelty of the
cordons, Shern Pasha opposed their
relaxation stoutly, raising the old
cry of refusing responsibility for
the consequences, while wasting time
at Alexandria by discussing the
Soudan railways scheme and other pro-
iects, which, however important, are not
Urgent. Meanwhile trustworthy reports
from the interior show that the admins
tratiVe anarchy is almost beyond ere.
dence, Every official is trying to thwart
some other and rejoicing at every calami-
ty the cause of which ne hopes TO attrib-
ute to his rival. The Mudir of Mansurah
and possibly few other form exceptions,
but from one end of the country to the
other, from Sheriff Pasha down to the
meanest effendi, both country and people
have proved themselves beyond all ex-
pectation incapable of self-goVern-
ment. 1t may safely be said that the
hardships and cruelties of IsmaiPs dee-
potic thirteen years did not exceed those
of the last tour months of experimental
self-goyernment.

GOSSIP ABOUT MIR. MCDONALD.
Effect on His Possible Presidential Can
didacy.

Effect on His Possible Presidential Can
didacy.
A Washington special to the Baltimore
San, August D, says that it has been con-
tidently claimed by the friends of eX-Sena-
tor Mcdonald. of Indiana, that he was
one of the very few Presidential candi-
dates for 1894 against the purity of whose
private and public life no breath of suspi-
cion could be raised. So far as Mr.. Me
Donald has attracted public attention the
sentiment has rather been in accord with
this claim. But to-day publication is
made here of allegations affecting the do
nestle life of Mr.. Mcdonald, which are
absolutely startling, They are in all
probability unsustained by facts, but it
is evident that should he receive the
Democratic nomination, these and kim
bred charges would be made and
industriously circulated, and would
influence the votes of many thousand citis
zens to his detriment. If it was possible
for one of the saints TO fall from Heaven
and be taken up as a Presidential candi-
date, he would doubtless be assailed with
all manner of charges and reflections.
This may be some consolation to Mr..
Mcdonald if he is innocent of what is
charged against him, but it does not en-
nance his availability as a Presidential
candidate. After the experience which
the Democrats had in 1880 in taking up
another citizen of Indiana on the ground
of availability, they are apt to be little
more scrutinizing in the future and not
take things for granted. Irrespective of
the charges which are now brought to
light, it Is asserted by prominent Indiana
Democrats that the public at large has
been very much deceived by the assump-
tions of Mr.. McDonald's wonderful pOpu-
larity at home, and if he should be taken
up by the Democratic party it would
very likely be a repetition of the English
experience.

Cold Common Sense.

IWftNueIIIttU ItttVTtIs
Is there a Democrat in Pennsyl lania
who believes the rate of wages for labor
depends upon any other consideration
than supply and demand? Yet the stupid
platform makers would have YOrkingmen
believe that taxes may be so manipulated
as TO raise or lower the rate OF wages.
The truth is-and no working man shouid
forget it-that every employer gets ms
work done at as low rate as he possibly
can. The only reason why labor in this
country commands better remuneration
than in other countries is that our cheap
land makes farming more profitable than
elsewhere, and so long as land remains
cheap every man has an Interior resource
he can dig, he can become farmer.
When the land is occupied, as it is in Eu-
rOpean countries, wages will sink TO the
European level.
