SOMEBODY IS SOUR.
What "a South Carolinian" Says of Some
Recent Appointments.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Post to-
night contains the following from
Washington: "If President Harrison
had tried his worse to ruin his chance
of building up white mems party in
South" remarked a prominent South
Carolinian who is often quoted on Re-
publican movements in this State, "he
could not have hit truer to the mark
than when he made his appointments
of postmasters at Columbia and Ander-
son, S. G.. They are two of the most
important offices in the State, and
should have been filled by Republicans
in good standing. Instead of that Mr..
Harrison went out of his way to snub
his party by taking a couple of 'Inde-
pendents," as they call themselves
down there.
"Whatever advantage the appoint
ments might have brought to his ad-
ministraticn, he has deliberately
thrown away, because the men he has
named have no standing in politics. No
President can afford to throw away the
good will of both the great parties in
his efforts to placate one that has no
recognized existence, and whose repre-
sentatives are without following, or a
claim upon one"

The Eclectic.

The November Eclectic has num-
Der of excellent articles, some of them
being of much current significance. The
Progress Of Cooperation, by George
Jacob Holyoake and NJ. Millerand, tells
US the latest facts about most impor-
tant movement in labor reform, and
discusses the question with high intel
ligence. w. S. Lilly gives US vigor-
Gus and thoughtful paper cast in the
form of a dialogue, entitled, In Search
of a Religion, which is of great inter
est. Mr.. Graham Sandberg's visit to
the mysterious city of Lhas,, the re-
ligious Mecca of Buddhism in Central
Asia, is a fascinating record Of travel.
An article, supposed TO have been Writ
ten by Mr. Gladstone, treats the rela-
tons OF Italy in the Tripartite Alliance
in way which foreshows the Liberal
policy, when the English Home Rule
party gets into power. This article has
made great sensation liz Europe. The
paper on Eastern Women, by Horace
Victor, is very racy and entertaining.

A Florida Land Sale.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, November l.
One of the largest transactions in land
ever consummated in the South has
recently been perfected and was made
public to-day.
All the unsold lands in Florida of the
Plant System of railroads and steam
ships, ofthe Florida Southern Railroad,
of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West System, including the Florida
Southern Railroad, and Of Florida
Commercial Company have been con-
solidated under the name Of the Asso-
ciated Railway Land Department OF
Florida, with the headquarters of the
syndicate at Sanford, under the man
agement of Col. d. H. Elliott as general
agent.
The former land headquarters of the
two corporations first named were IN
Sanford, those of the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West at Jacksonville,
and those of the Florida Southern ana
Florida Commercial Company at Pa
latka. Over six million acres Of land
are consolidated under one manage
ment by the formation of this syndicate,
and the entire business pertaining to
their improvement, sale and lease will
be transacted in Sanford.
This consolidation is the outgrowth
of negotiations begun last spring. It
was not until October 10, however, that
the compactw was finally sealed, in New
York city, by the representatives of all
parties in interest. Since that time
officials have been engaged in the per-
fection of the legal papers necessary,
and getting matters into shape for
beginning business under the new
management. The new arrangement
goes into effect to-day.

News and Courier, End


Quite sad and peculiar death oc,
Cured yesterday morning at the resi-
dence of Mary Mitchell, II King street
Her little child died in the agonies oi
convulsions, caused by drinking kero'
sene oil. The circumstances of the
case, as far as could be learned: are as
follows:
Thursday evening the mother, Mary
Mitchell, was working in her kitchen
and had her little one-year-and-a-half
old child toddling around her. The
child went off and was playing under
q table. The mothers attention was
called away, and in few moments she
looked around and saw her child sneez
ing and noticed that kerosene oil had
been spilled on the floor. She was not
long in learning that her child haG
swallowed some kerosene, and gave il
lard and oil, but without the desired
effect. however. AS the child seemed
to be getting along very we'll physi.
clan was not called.
Yesterday morning when the child
woke pit was suffering very much,
and shortly died in convulsion. The
child is said to have been very preco
cious, and could walk and talk with
comparative ease.

Cotton Goods for Cotton Growers.

From Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser
The people of the cotton States have
1t in their largely to increase the.
demand for cotton goods. For at least
seven months Of the year they can:
wear cotton clothes, and if they were
to adopt the custom of doing so there
would be constant running of the
Southern mills now in operation, and q.
speedy use for a great many more. It.
was the custom Of many rich planters
before the war to dress in white osna-
burgs, and they looked exceedingly
neat. Suppose every farmer dressed IN
osnaburgs, the amount now made,
would be an infnitesimal part of what.
would be needed. When washed and
perfectly clean, no suit of clothes would
look better. The mills could easily be
adapted to the making of brand that
would stand wear and washing, and if,
another color than white was preferred,
the mill could dye any shade that was:
wanted.

What a Woman Can Do.
T"Bab,n in St. Louis Republic. ]

''Bab," IN st. Louis Repuollc.J
What can woman doe o-~:z.-',
She can laugh with her lps-make a
man think she is the merriest cricket
in the world, while her eyes are full Of
ushered tears and her heart is beating
as if it would burst. .
She can forgive great sin like an
angel and nag a man about petty
vice like an importation from the
lower regions.
She can fix over old frocks and wear
them with a cheerful heart that she
may help somebody, and she can spend
the first money that she really feels
that she can use for herself in going to
a matinee and on sweets, when she
needs new pair of shoes.
She can quiet baby with one or two
reassuring pats, when man might
almost knock the life out of it, give it
whole bottle Of soothing syrup, and it
would still be open-eyed and aggres-
sive.
She can employ whole day looking
for pair of braces for Jack, aud yet in
the time of trouble, she could buy
mourning outfit in half an hour, and
her needle would fly. as if guided by
electricity in sewing on bridal gown,
or shroud for somebody's baby.
She can cry out her troubles on
mans shoulder and feel relief that is
only possible from masculine help, and
ten minutes after she can laugh in that
mans face and wonder what men were
made for.
She can be brave in time of mental
trouble; she can stand by and hold the
hand of some cne who is suffering
from physical trouble, and yet she will
scream as if she were about to be killed
at the suggestion Of a mouse or beetle.
She can smile over dinner of bread
and butter and tea, when that's all she
can get, and later on, when prosperity
is to the fore, she can turn up her nose
at any gave below canvas back duck,
aud wondering at people caring for
the best brand of Burgundy.
What can't she do? I will tell you.
She can never wear trousers with any
grace, and she will never be able to re.
sist either the man or the baby who
has gotten the love Of her heart.

prize Fighting.
[Aiken Recorder. 7

The peace was broken on the banks
Of the Wando River, in Berkeley
County, last week, and an example of
brutality was given more disgusting
and degrading than even in the
Sullivan-Kilrain affair in Mississippi.
Itwas positively siekening to read the
details, as published in the Charleston
papers. From the nature of the ar
rangements it was evidently quite inn
possible for the Sheriff of Berkeley
County to prevent the fight, but the
question naturally arises, what is
Governor Richardson going to do? Is
he going to allow these men and their
aiders and abettors to 60 unpunished?
These men have acted the parts Of
beasts, and have brought disgrace
upon our State, and unless they are
punished for all the law allows, the de-
cent people of the State will have cause
to hang their heads is shame.

CoLoRED MINISTERS TO HAYT1.

HE SOLD HIS WIFE.
The Husband of Christian Scientist Dis
poses of Her.
1From the ST. Louis Republic. |

FROM the SG. LOUIS hepuollS.J
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 1s.-Many
years ago, George Welkof took unto
himself wife. Years rolled on, and
George went to work in the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul shops at South
Minneapolis. Both husband and wife
by this time were past the prime of
life. They resided in a comfortable
dwelling house in the vicinity OF Fort
avenue and Lake street.
The husband continued to ply his
trade, and his wife finally joined the
ranks of Christian Scientists. Soon she
practised Christian Science healing.
She became so imbued with the spirit
Of the doctrine that after much delib-
Grafton she found that her husband
was not her "soul's affinity" At first
the exact whereabouts of her kindred
spirit did not become revealed to her,
but not for long was she allowed to
grope in darkness. AS a light from
heaven, the truth flashed upon her, and
she found her "souPs affinity" in the
person of one Henry Bratsch.
Henry is no longer youth, having
passed his tortieth year. BY trade he
is a machinist and works alongside of
George Weikof in the railroad shops
/ of South Minneapolis. He is well-to-do
and isrepute6 to own property valued
at $4,000. Most of it lies within the
city, limits of st. Paul. He boarded at
9O2S Fort street, South Minneapolis,
with the Weikofs.
Henry had passed the age of senti-
ment, but his fellow workman's wife,
S4s1 VII i1saaioices in the name of Henrika
Weikotf, cast the spefIsa f5niefTcSaasESstian nef III
Science over him and he fell af54dy
victim to her wiles. He became a,
believer in THIS strange doctrine. The
truth suddenly daWned upon him that
Henrika had the other half of his soul.
The truth had not long been revealed
to them before they became .'two souls
with but a single thought" The only
difficulty in the way ofthe consumma-
ton of their faith presented itself in the
inofensive husband. But now this
trf1e has been removed and they are
free to practice their belief as far as.
George, the husband, is concerned.
Henrika NNeikof owned a house and
lot on Fort street, and to satisfy her
husband she mortgaged this property
for the sum Of $500, $500 of which she
paid her husband, he agreeing to sign
a deed Of separation, releasing her from
all matrimonial control in considera-
ton of thesu above mentioned.
Henry Bratsch paid over $500 to
Weikof yesterday, and all the neces-
sary papers were drawn up by we'll
known attorney of this city. AS security
Bratsch took the mortgage on Mrs.
Weikof's property. All lparties are now
happy: The two living souls can yearn
to their hearts content without the
interference of husband. Mrs. Wei
kof has two grown-up children. One
of them is young man and promi-
nent officer of a secret society. Shortly
Mrs. Weikof will institute proceedings
for divorce from her legal husband, and
the climax of this strange story will
occur when the marriage bells ring on
the occasion of the marriage of Henry
Bratsch and Henrika Weikoff. All the
parties to the affair were interviewed
this afternoon and admitted its truth.
