a MIsLEApING DlafsT STATEMENT.

The public debt summary as sent out
from Washington showing the bonded
debt reduction under the present admin
stration as compared with that of the
Cleveland administrati ton, is of Il mis-
leading character. It's value is prac-
tically destroyed from the fact that it
is not given 'less cash in the Treasury"
Secretary Window has reduced tho
cash in the Treasury some S40,00O,O0
within few months in buying bonds at
90 per cent premium, and in anticipat-
ing interest on the public debt. If his
transactions were properly balanced the
public debt statement would mako far
less favorable showing for the present
administration.
The seignorage which the Government
has made on its silver coinage has been
swallowed up by the forced purchasing of
Government bonds at an exorbitant
premium.

ToMAssEE, $. c., July II, 1890.
DEAR COURIER: In this part of
the county we have had plenty of
rain, and crops have not suffered
this year; however, in ncighhorhoodS
near by We have heard complaints of
scarcity Of rain, crops actually suf-
fcring Tor it ut times.
Cotton looks II great deal better
than it did this time last year, and
is blooming "right along" while n
year ago, they were very scarce. 80.
On July ., rain, accomp31nificd by
heavy wind and senur Enil, passed
over Il p"r'ion~ |;;;f our community
Corn m! .&atlon were blown down
Dnt .s rs great permanent damage was
<;Ionc.
The weather is very hot just at
present, and all of MS who arc not
"donc layin' by" are tempted tc
sit in the shade Il good deal of on,
time.
We'll, we have, so far, one candi,
date for the Legislature, and VIC
shall expect TO see many more names
announced for this Office, which has
been sadly neglected for the county
Offices.
The present Indications seem to
assure us that Capt. Ben Tillman
will be the Dem 'cratic candidate for
Governor OF South Carolina. Till
man is a Democrat, and we believe
he will make rs good II Governor as
has glaccd the capital for some years.
II elected, we hope the Assembly
will be Tillman also, so that he can
show lis what is in him--cithcr good
or bad, and ii he can do even a
small part of what he has promised,
the State will be greatly benefited.
Whether he cal. or will effect these
reforms or not can not he con icctu-
rcd. Time only will tell.
Politics now cngross the attention
and space Of all the papers to the
exclusion OF other news.
The present is a very mcvcntiul
time, and news is as scarce as gold

he wants to get with the New York club.--Nei0

SATURATED WITH GAS.
THE EARTH PoURs IT FORTH FROM
EVERY HOLE THAT IS MADE

People In the Vicinity of the Grent ExpIo-
That the Whole Township May be
Blown Up.
SHELBYvILLE, August 14.-Much ex-
citement still prevails over the recent gas
explosion. 1t is now discovered that the
whole neighborhood in the vicinity of the
young volcano is saturated with natural
gas and the soil is full of it. One can run a
crowbar down in the ground any place and
then light the gas which proceeds from the
soil in various quantities. This would in
dicate that the gas from the gaswells has
found its way below the limestone, and in
many places fractures in the stone
permit it to escape into the sand
and gravel Immediately below the
surface soil. which partially prevents its
escape into the air. This bears out the
ing from the sides of the gas wells and diff
fusing itself into the sand and gravel below
the limestone. The whole township seems
to be filled with the combustible, and the
inhabitants are threatened with disaster.
No telling but the lighting of match may
not blow two or three townships into smith
Greens.
1t is altogether probable that the diffusion
OF gas in the soil more or less affects the
growing crops. The great question may yet
be as to the advisability of sinking gas
wells, or if sunk at all, whether other
methods should not be used to case and con-
tne the explosive. Pockets of gas are no
doubt forming beneath the limestone all
over the region of the gas belt, and it is only
a question of time when it will break forth
in terrific force.
1t is reported by good citizens that to-day
boys were roasting corn by gas jets produced
by sticking canes down in the soil a few feet
in the vicinity OF the volcano. Such being
the case, the citizens will soon have to aban.
don home and fireside. The assures of the
ground blown to atoms Monday are now
filling with water, through which gas occa-
sionally forces its way.
