MANNING. S. Co. WEDNESDAY,, NOVEMBER s. 1890.

"We had piano one winter and some
one sang in that dreadful place. 1t was
the only bright spot in our life. You
may talk of solitary confinement, but
what more horrible punishment can you
imagine than forced stay IN Il wretch
ed village deprived of every comfort,
every attribute of civilization. with
only the hope of death to relieve you?
This is the milder kind of punishment.
Four years of this existence and was
pardoned-free to go home again, but
always under strict police surveillance" !"
DR.. Aaronovich then proceeded to
speak of the future OF Russia. He said:
"What Russia needs is representative
government. The enlightened class in
Russia are Liberal. This change c'n
only be brought about, fear. by the
allied powers making war on Russia.
A great fight like the campaign of the
Crlmea would perhaps result in the es-
tablishing of new government for
Russia. The taxes are heavy. Rus
SLAMS. as rule, are opposed to war AID
the liberty of Russia is a problem as
yet.
"We do not know what the STERN Nj
hillsm is. In Russia a man with ex-
treme views is called RadicaI not a
Nihilist. AS to the CZar," concluded
DR.. Aaronovich, his life is little bet
ter than that of the poor Siberian exile.
The only difference is that he has his
palace while the exile has his hut.
Both are under the constant protection
and the eyer watchful eye OF the
police"
DR.. Aaronoyich will remain in the
city some time. He is fine looking and
most fascinating talker. Since his
return from exile he has Travelled ex-
tenslyely through Europe

a Base Slander kefuted.

ATLANTA. Ga, Oct. 29.-John Liv-
ingston, president Of the State Farmers
Alliance of New York. figures in a po-
litical sensation just unearthed in Geor-
gia, in which Livingston's namesake,
Leonidas Livingston. president of the
Georgia State Farmers Alliance and
Democratic nominee for Congress in
this district, is the other prominent fig
ure. During the past few days the
State has been flooded with circulars
containing af1idavits Of John Livingston,
in which he declares among other
things that Leonidas Livingston wrote
HIM a letter in which he said:
"Of course we want the Lodge bill or
something like it. but from local feeling
and prejudice it is not policy to say so
to the public Just now. 1 shall be will
inc to vote with the Republicans on all
party questions to WIN votes for our
sub-treasury plan"
He further charges that Livingston,
the Georgian. is the employee Of John
Iuman and the West Point Terminal
Company.
President Livingston, when shown
the letter to-day, pronounced it an abso-
lutte forgery. He says the only letter he
ever wlote the New York Livingston
about the force bill was one in which he
strongly urged its defeat. and says John
Livingston then replied through a Rich
mond paper, in which he said that IN
consideration for the wishes OF his tel
low farmers through the South he woulo
do all he could to defeat the force bill.

Nancy; IN (.aopinp Factories.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 25.-Here is hint
to Columbia capitalists and farmers:
The canning factory established here
less than year ago on a very small cap
ital is making money not only for itself
but for the farmers It has saved the
truck farmers many thousands OF dol
lars in an emergency that had not oc-
CURED to them and that in no other way
could be averted The large crop of
string beans, (the second crop which
maturing now, is always shipped to the
North. This year, there having been no
frost as yet in the North, the Southern
bean is a drug on the market. Here
comes the canning factory and offer to
buy the entire crop and cure it, paying
the farmers 10 cents bushel for the
beans. All of which goes to show that
a canning factory is a convenient thing
to have around.

oress from this district. was addressing
a crowd OF negroes ia the interest OF the
Haskell cause, exception was taken to
his remarks by certain Tillmanltes.
among whom was J. Gully Jackson.
Jackson's temper was excited to a
point of belliserency. and he drew his
knife on Deas and split his mouth open
on one side nearly TO the ear. and would
have killed him but for Colonel II. L..
Morris, who pressed up to make peace.
In this praiseworthy endeavor OF Col

highly wrought up. turned upon Colonel
Morris and slashcd him 4 severe cut on
his left cheek and raked him across his
left side, cutting clear through his cloth
ing and ripping the SKIN. thoA2h not to
a serious depth. Deas blcd protusely
and it was believed he would die from
the wound received. Jackson was ar
rested but released On 500 bond toc

Flooded by a Standpipe.

ST. LOUIS. October pa dispatch
from Temple, Texas, says: Two hum
dred and eighty thousand gallons of
water confined in steel standpipe
broke loose from its confines about 3
o'clock on Friday morning and flooded
the town. Immense sheets Of boiler
steel, hundreds of pieces of scatfoldings,
houses, barns, fences and all the debris
of the surrounding neighborhood went
floating and crashing in all directions.
The people OF the town were awakened,
and stood in frightened groups about
the towI4 watching the destruction of
their homes and property. The house
of o. Il. Rigdon was crushed as an egg
shell, and afterwards took fire from an
overturned lamp and was burned. Rig
don was seriouly burned, and his recor-
cry is doubtful.
The accident is unaccountable. No
flaws were apparent in any of the bro
ken pieces of the pipe and the work
manship shows it to be tirSt.claSs. The
foundation is still there solid and un-
harmed except in one place, where a
cash two feet long was cut through
the bottom and a couple OF rocks wash
ed away.

THE LUTHERAN SYNOD.
Election of Ofhcers-Good Work in the
Mission Fields.

Mission Fields.
NEwBERRY, Oct. 81. The Evan
gelical Lutheran Synod ofSouth Carolina
convened in it's sixty-sixth annual ses-
sion last Tuesday nightat Luther Chap
cl, Rev. w. c.. Schaefer's charge.
The simple and appropriate word 'Wel-
come" with the figures 1921 and 1890
on either side were all there was Of in-
scrlptlon or decoration. The sermon
was preached by the President, Rev. J.
H. Wilson. l. rained without NOM
ent's cessation during the first day and
night of the session. Synod was organi-
zed in Lexington County in 1924 and
has grown in strength, wealth and in
fuence until this year Of grace. which
finds it IN fourishing condition.
Rev. J. H. Wilson was reelected presi-
dent; Rev. W. A. Julian, vice president;
Rev. NJ. J. Epting, secretary; Major P.
E. Wise. treasurer. Major Wise has
been regularly elected treasurer for the
past thirty years.
There were sixty delegates in attend
ance, twenty-five from the Woman's
Home and Foreign Missionary Society.
The routine work was dispatched III
business like way during the day an
ermons preached on import ant church
and educational work at night.
A very interesting Mission Board
meeting of the United Synod was held,
in which its able Secretary, Rev. L. X.
Probst. gave a pleasing statement Of the
progress of the work. both IL the home
and foreign field. Three foreign mis-
sionaries will soon be commissioned,
equipped and sent out by the Southern
Lutheran Church.
The matter of coeducation in New
berry College was not discussed. 1t
was referred to the Board Of Trustees.
The subject Of Lutheran pulpits for
Lutheran preachers, and Lutheran
altars for Lutheran communicants. was
brought up, but the sentiment Of Synod
is not averse to the spirit ottrue follow
ship.
The Synod was very much exercised
about ministers descending in to the
arena Of politics and Offering them
selves as candidates for Office. 1t
placed on record its unqualified disap-
proval in the form of d resolution. This
was timely deliveraaee.
The Synod did a good thing in
appropriating $500 toward the
building of another house for
the professsaA. on the college cam
pus.
The Work, oi the body, after q harmo-
NOUS session, was brought to close
Saturday NIGHT. and on yesterday the
pulpits OF our town were generally oc'
cupied by the members Of the Syond.
The next meeting will be in Augusta,
Ga.-Columbia Register.

That tiosa Contract

The Argus Saturday morning complained
because the committee ON fire department re
fused to contract with the Callahan Hose
Co. for the hose lately ordered by the City
Government, claiming that 1t is equal il not
superior to the American Fire Hose Compa-
ny'S product, and was offered at a much less
figure.
The committee decided to contract with
the American Fire Hose Company, because
the board Of engineers, who were present at
the hearing. were unanimous in Its favor.
They had tested its merits II years aud had
its hose in use that was 10 years old. Mr..
Skillings, who mends the hose, has been
taught in the American mandatory how to
knit the hose together when cut or broken,
and such mended hose has done the city
good service. Mr. Crocker, for the Callahan
Company, and Mr.. Barbour, for the Boston
Betting Company, could not state whether
their hose could be so mended. Another
advantage claimed for the American over
the Callahan hose Is that it can be packed
fiat in the cart or reel, so that double the
quantity can be carried on the cart or reel to
fire. Under these circumstances, even AZ
double price, 1t was thought more economi-
cal for the city to buy the American.

COUNTING THE COST IN OREGON.
Oregon City Figures Her Loss: by the
Flood at s rs, 900.
The Damage In and Around Port
land Comparatively Small.
Bridges and Tracks on the Southern
Pacific swept Away.

OREGON CITY, Ore, February 9.-The
water has receded enough to permit an es-
innate of the damage done here by the flood.
1t is thought that $4,000 will cover the
loss.
PORTLAND, Ore, February s. The water
in the Willamette River is falling rapidly.
and business in the flooded districts is again
assuming its normal character. Considering
the volume of water carried down by the
river, the damage in and around this city
has been comparatively light. The heaviest
losers are the saw mill owners, who suffered
considerably by having logs and lumber car
ried away. ManyIof the logs, however, have
lodged along the river, and 1t is thought, can
be saved. Wharves and docks have not suf-
fered seriously. though many of them will
have to undergo repairs before they can be
used. While merchants have. lost consider
able from suspension of business, their
losses in goods have not been sreat. 1t is
impossible to give any correct estimate of the
loss at present. Along East Portland's
at about $40, OC, collapsed. and
few other minor losses are reported. The
Southern Pacific Company Is probably the
heaYiest loser, by reason of washouts on its
line between here and Ashland. Telegraph

meagre so far, but reports received from
Cow Creek Canyon state that number of
bridges have been washed out and several
miles of track either washed away or COW
cred by slides. Advices from points be-
tween here and Roseburg state that
a number of small bridges were
washed out and the track de-
stroyed in many places, though it is thought
in the Willamette Valley the road can be re-
paired in short time. In the vicinity of
Salem a number of small houses were
carried away by the flood and some
stock drowned The principal loss
there. however, was the carrying
off of the large wagon bridge across the river.
at Independence, two warehouses contain
ing grain were carried away, causing loss
of several thousand dollars. On the west
side division of the Southern Pacific, several
bridges were carried out and the track dam-
aged to considerable extentAt other points
along the Willamette number of small ware
houses have been washed away with their
contents. The frstloss of life by the floods
SO far as known occurred at Oregon City yes
terday, when an unknown man was drowned.
The Union Pacific line is snow blockaded
between here and the Dalles, connection be-
ing made by boat. Northern Pacific trains
are running on time.
