The Walhalla Blue Marble.

The Columbia Register states that Mr..
Patterson, of Atlanta, whose visit to
Columbia in search of building stone
was noted in the Register this week,
found in Oconee County blue marble dis
covered by Mr.. c. Mayhew just what he
wanted, and returned home without
searching further. Mr.. Mayhew showed
Mr.. Patterson somo samples just received
from the Walhalla quarry, and tho latter
pronounced it tho best building stone he
had seen South. He at once entered
into negotiations with Mr.. Mayhem to
secure at least eighty car loads per annum
Of the stone for building purposes in and
around Atlanta.

pared.
We are having plenty of rain
these days. We had n very heavy

ing to subdue the grass and weeds.

The bud worm is playing havoc
with corn in low wet bottom lands.
Everybody seems to be ii. high
spirits in and around Westminster.
Mr.. A. p. Crisp was in our town
last week, and Prof. N. w. Mcauley
and D. S. Craig yesterday (Montlay).
] think these are the first candidates

meeting that is TO como off on the
10Th of this month. I think that
everybody will be OF Walhal!a OH

sion and argument that will be pro-
duccd by our leaders on the impor

HOPES TO AVOID TROUBLE.

Grand Master sweeney Thinks He Will
 settle the switohmen's EtIIk".
 BUFyALo. N. Y, Aug. 1S.-Frank Sweeney of Chicago, Grand Master of the Switchmen's Aid Association of North America, reached here last even- ing and attended the meeting of the switchmsn at Carabach's Hall. "I ex- pect to meet Mir. Burrows to-day and talk the matter over. l don't anticipate that the trouble will be serious," said Mir. Sweeney.
 "Was the strike ordered by your
 "No, but I've heard the story of the men, and If that story is true the men are justified in taking the extreme measures they did. You know the original cause was the discharge of one of our men, who refused to go to the depot In a strikers place; the men there were out on strike, and it is against the principle of our organiza- tion to tARe a strikers place. The Grievance Committee was sent to meet with Mir. Burrows, and they were treated very discourteously. The switchmen are entitled to some little consideration. MT. Burrows is himself an empIoye of the road, and should treat other men as oourteously y aP he would want to be treated. The mem- bers of the lodge were no doubt angry when they learned of the treatment the committee received"
 "Are the fremen interested in this striker
 Mot yet. Grand Master Sergeant is somewhere in the East and 1 exptc ct to meet him before my return. do not expect, however, that there will bs any more trouble"
 It Is likely, however, that Super in- tendent Burrows will decline to talk with MT. Sweeney, in which event the strike will ass tune a more serious form.

Caught Im Am UndsrtOw tie l. Carried
 Beyond the surf Line.
 PORTLAND, Me, Aug. 1S.-Right Rev. Henry A. Neely, bishop of the Protes- tant Episcopal diocese of Maine, for merly of New York, had narrow escape from drowning at Scarboro Beach. The bishop is an expert swimmer, having once in younger days swam across Sen eca Lake, a distance of two and half miles.
 While bathing at Scarboro Beach he went outside the surf line, and a heavy undertow and ebb tide setting of sh ore, he was unable to return. After. two intellectual attempts, with rare pr essence ot mind he allowed himself to drift back beyond the breakers and foated quietly outside and shouted for a boat. It was supposed that the bishop was drowning and great excitement pre- vailed upon the beach. Fifteen minutes passed before a boat was procured, but the bishop was finally rescued. His coolness in not wasting his strength to struggle longer with the undertow probably saved his life.
