Brooks, of Vaughanville, S. G., was
born February 2Oth, 1867, was married
to {. \. Brooks on March 18th, 1855,
by Rev. G. W. Holland, D. d., and
died June l7th, 1891.
She was the mother OF three children,
the Youngest Of whom preceded the
mother to heaven only three days.
The remaining two children and her
husband mourn thei" irreparable loss.
Those who knew her best loved her
most. Her sweet and amiat' disposition
made everything pleasant about her;
she WAS the light and life of now dark
and desolate home. Her neighbors
and friends all miss her genial and
happy smile and cheerful words. Her
church misses one Of its most faithful
and devoted members.
"Thop art gone 70 the erave-but we will not
deplOre thee:
Though sorrows and darkness encompass the
tomb,
Thy saviour has passed through its portals
before thee,
And the lamp OF his love is thy guide through
the gloom.
"Thou art gone to the gravc-but we will not
deplore thee;
Whose God was thy ransom, thy guardian
and guide;
He gave thee; he took thee; and he will re-
store thee:
And death has no sting, for the Saviour has
died"

Getting at the Truth about the Recent
Mexican Earthquake.

San FRANcIsco, August 1.-THE
Chronicles Yuma, AriZUna, correspon-
dent has made trip to The town of
Lerdo, Mexico, which was reported
destroyed by an earthquake.on July 80.
He reports that the accounts of the
earthquake have been greatly cXagger-
ated. No houses were destroyed and
he failed to find the place where the
Colorado River was reported to be
pouring into = fissure in the earth.
There was no tidal wave in the Gulf Of
California, and the shock was hardly
felt there. The statement that the hills
disappeared is explained by the fact
thata portion ofthe sand blu1fone bum
dred feet high fell into the river.
The correspondent also investigated
the alleged disappearance Of the river
on the day Of the earthquake. He
found that opposite Lerdo is a large
island. A month ago the river flowed
ih the east channel nearest to Lerdo.
Then it began to change into the west
channel. The cause was the gradual
eating away Of the sand bluff on the
mainland, which fell into the east chan
mel and blocked it up. This was noticed
three weeks before the earthquake.

Employees in the machine shops Of the
South Carolina Railway, eleven men
and nine boys, quit work to-day, leav-

auspices Of the international Associa-
ton of Machinists, and the strikers

will result in the election of a Demo-
cratic President next year. He repudl-
ates the idea of any third party in
South Carolina.
We are encouraged by the substance
and reception Of Senator Buffers speech
to predict that the farmers Of South
Carolina will remain solid for Demo
cratic integrity and supremacy in State
and national elections.
His speech was favorably received by
his people, which shows that, while
they demand relief, they look for it to
the Democratic party and not to the
third party nor their malignant pollt!-
cal enemy, the Republican party.

arrival there found quite anumber Of
persons assembled. Later wagon load
after wagon load arrived and by mid
day this unusually quiet locality was
thickIy populated wiki several hundred
people. .
1t seems that Governor TiIlman's
plan WAS to force al acknowledgment
from the mar and woman convicted OF
murder by allowing them to be taken
to the galiows as il for execution. Tie
Governors priva'e secretary, who
came to Cheraw last night, 'Was at
Chesterfield ali the morning with the
reprieve in his pocket. Somehow the
cat got out Of the bag, and 1t became
n0ised about that some one had come
with an order for 4 stay efthe sentence
In fact the Rev. Mr. Iongue, who was
in aid out OF the Jail all the morning,
told the reporter that he was sure that
no execution was going to take place.
Had this reached the ears OF Mrs john
son and Jacobs it is highly probable
that they would have acted Just rs the
account below shows they cid.

FALL.

been bound and the sheriff was just
about to perform this last act when 4
large, dark w!!isktrc1 man from the

Neither the Elan nor the woman
scented very much ciatpd at their sud-
den rescue rom q horrible death, ana
on hearing tie Inissive read betrayed
no emotion Of any kind. They simply
were loosed and walked down the gal
lows steps into the Jail. When inside,
however, the nerves OF jacobs, strung
to the highest tension throughout the
whole proceedings, gave way 1T last on
account OF the reaction, and he required
the support of two men to enable him
to reach lis cell. Tie woman, before
she came down again, addressed the
audience once more, declaring her in
nocence and begging them TO pray for
her, us they hoped God torequite them
in the world to come.
IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE.
[Columbia Record, l7th.
The Governor took final action to-
day in the now celebrated Chesterfield
murder case by committing the death
sentences of David Jacobs and Mary
Johnston to life imprisonment in the
penitentiary.
The Sheriff of Chesterfield was at
once notified of his actio,i, and the
prisoners will probably be brought to

he could not satisfy himself beyond 4

THE DEBATE AT PROSPERITY.
What Senator Butler Told Reporter
About his Meetingswith :Presi-
dent Stokes.
IFro7o the Baltimore SUM-

From the Baltimore Sun.
WAsH1NGroN, July Ex-senator n. &.
Butler, of South Carolina, arrived here
to-day from Edgefeld, S. c., having COM
pletely used up two sub-treasury cham
pions in open Joint debate at Prosperity.
In relating bis experience at the latter
place Senator Butler said he went there
determined 20 give the people plain talk
on the financial question. He did not en-
ploy any confusing statistics, but SIMPLY
told his hearers how foolish it was for
them to be led away with the idea that
the Government is going to lend money
to every MIN or woman VINO wants IL
without security.
There weIe a number of interrupters
scattered through the crowd, but the Sen
ators long experience in the Senate as a
running debatar enabled him to dispose
Of his supposed tormentors without much
trouble. Or. every hand to-day he was
congratulated upon his success IN the
Joint debate, and also because he was not
injured in the row which followed the
meeting. He says the reports OF the row
were greatly exaggerated, as 1t had moth
ing whatever to do with the political meet
ing. It appears two men ID the crowd
un5.ruook to get even with o police officer
who mad on previous occasion arrested
them. The officer, who was young
giant, knocked his raen out one after the
other in a truly SUllivan-Ike manner.
Several pistol shots were fred and there
was some cutting done, but the partlcl-
pants were in no way connected with the
meeting.
Senator Butler will go to New York to
join the members OF the Senate commit
tee on naval affairs, who were authorized
at the last session of Congress to sit dur
ing the recess for the purpose Of consider
ing the question Of the reorganization OF
the navy. Their investigation will extend
from the head of the line, through the
staff, to the enlisted men. In fact the en-
tire personnel of the navy is to receive
their attention. The committee may
visit several of the navy yards and naval
stations to see what progress IS beng
made in the various branches OF the ser
vice.
