Accident to Senator Ham pton.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. Ex-senator
Wade Hampton's numerous friends in
Columbia were panied to learn yester-
day by telegram, received by Colonel
John C. Haskell, that the Senator had
met with an accident while out hunting
with Mr.. McDutlie Hampton, at or near
the old Hampton place in Washington
County, Miss.
1t seems, as far as can be learned, that
as the Senator was about to mount hls
horse he unfortunately came within his
sons line of fire, as that gentleman was
in the act Of shooting, and received a
part of the charge of shot in the face,
two of the little missiles striking him
on the left eyelid. The wound has par
italy obscured his vision and he is at
present confined to a darkened room,
but the injury is not regarded as any
ways serious and will probably not keep
him to hisro more than few days.
This is, \as will be remembered, the
second hunting accident that the Sena-
tor has met with since 1876, but it is
fortunate that this little one is by no
means as serious as that which cost him
one of his legs.
AS is usually tie case on such occa-
sions the facts were at first greatly ex-
aggerated by street rumor, but the true
statement of the case became soon gen
orally known and quieted the anxiety
of Senator Hampton's friends.-Colum-
bia Register.

Norton and His Little Boat.

New YORK, Nov. 2l.-Captain E. L.
Norton started off from Tompkinsville
Yesterday afternoon in the hfty-eight-
foot yawl-rigged steam liteboat that
bears his name, on his voyage Of 1000
miles to Toulon, France. The great
feature Of the little craft, which is the
smallest steamboat that ever started on
such lengthy trip, is her buoyancy and
stability, which comes from her double
bottom. This is divided into six ballast
compartments lying on each side of the
keel and extending around the bends.
They are OF galvanized iron, framed in
and cemented, and each has a seven
inch opening fitted with a water-tight
lead sleeve. The weight Of the boat
drives the water into the compartments,
the all escaping through automatic
valves on the main deck, and the boat
therefore floats Cd her inner bottom
and sails on the outer, the water in the
bllge keeping trim and true.
She carries little surface condcusing
compound engine that one ton of coal
keeps ter three days and the bunkers
hold enough fuel to last her for thirty
days. She has canvas enough to drive
her along at ten-knot gait, and has
two liteboats-on the doubtle-bottom sys-
tenn also-lashed amldships. She has
two large hermeticolly sealed air cham
bers, and would float ifeverY open space
IN her became filled with water. With
Captain Norton are his wife, his niece, a
girl Of sixteen, two engineers, a sailing
master, two seamcn, two stewards and a
terrier. The Norton will stop at st.
Michael's in the Azores to recoal.

Assistant Clerk-W. NJ. Rodgers Of
Greenville. Bill Clerk. II. Hamer
of Marlboro. These are all new men
as, indeed, are all the other appolntees.
United States Senator.
Much interest is manifested in the
approaching election Of a Senator tc
succeed General Hampton. The pre-
vaili1g impression is that some new
man will be chosen. though many Of
the friends OF the Ex-Governor main
tain that he will be reelected. The
gentlemen most prominently mention
ed for the succession are Judge Wallace
of Union, Mr.. Speaker Troy, Congress
man Hemphill, and Col. Ellison keitt
of Newberry. Congressman Hemphill
has best recently been spoken Of. Col.
Keitt IS not regarded as a possibility.
The weight OF opinion is that if Senator
Hampton be displaced, Col. Irby will
be the successor. Either Judge Wal
lace or Congressman Hemphill would
be regarded as compromise man"
II square fight be made, on the lines
laid out in the choice of officers Of the
House and the Senate, it would seem
certain that such fight will narrow
down to a contest between General
Hampton and Colonel Irby. r.. S. J.

A Model for South Carolina.

MILLEDGEvILLE, Ga, Nov. o.
The citizens are making great prepara-
tions to celebrate, in becoming way,
the laying of the corner stone OF the COL
lege next Thursday, the eth instant.
1t will be a great day in the history OF
Georgia.
The Georgia Normal and Industrial
College, for the education ofwhite girls,
was established by the Legislature in
1889, and was located at NIilledgeville.
Sixteen acres Of land. known as the
old penitentiary property. together with
the old executive mansion, were appro-
priated by the State to this movement
so wisely started by Mr.. Atkinson.
The State also appropriated s25. 900, to
be paid in three annual installments.
To this the people of Millcdgeville gen.
erously donated $4,000.
The building which is now in course
oferection will, when completed. cost
SIS, 900.
Inside the building will be the lecture
rooms, the library and Offices Of the
faculty. while the old executive mansion
will be fitted up for tie boarding apart
ments Of the school.
This IS the first step Georgia has
taken to give higher advantages 10 her
girls. She has been helping the boys
for century. The purpose OF this col
lege is to educate the girls, and especial
ly those unable to take the expensive
course in other colleges.
1t VIII equip them thoroughly as
