Mining Rock But Not Paying the State q
. Cent.
1Greenville News, 14th. |

A private telegram received here
yesterday brought news that the Coo
saw Mining company is again at work,
having resumed operations yesterday
morning. 1t has moved its whole
piant and force to the creeks owned by
the Pacific Guano company. These
creeks are not navigable waters, but
are believed to he rich in rock of good
quality. The Coosaw company, it is
stated pays the Pacific company
dollar a ton for the rock mined in the
Pacific territory and will do business
in its new field as formerly.
Those who are in position to know
say that this move will enable the Coo
saw company to hold the fort indefn-
iteiy and will avoid the need for re-
moving its pl1nt to Florida, which was
being seriously considered. Coosaw's
friends are now in high spirits, as the
new arrangement keeps the company
in the market and saves it from serious
loss.

trical novelty in store for the Colum-

"Weu, I have thing in view, but

My intention is to have such a happy
combination of photography and cleo
tricity that a man can sit in his own
parlor and see depicted upon a curtain

the singers. When the system is per-
fected, which will be in time for the

Of his or her attire will be exactly re-
produced, and the stride and positions
will be as natural as and very like

BITTEN BY A MAD GOOSE.
The Wife of Michigan Farmer Under
Treatment at the Pastuer Institute.
New York SUM-

New IOTh OuU.
DR.. Paul Gibier of the Pastuer Insti-
tute is treating a woman from Corun-
ma, Michigan, who has a badly lacer-
ated finger. Her husband, a well-to-
do farmer, owned a large dog, which
about three months ago was bitten by
a strolling mongrel which was un-
doubtediy rabid, and in turn inserted
his teeth in the flesh of a goose, pig,
and several COWS. The pig and COWS
died of hydrophobia, as ascertained by
a veterinary surgeon after an analysis
Of their brains. The goose soon evinced
signs of sickness, and refused to eat.
The woman did not know the goose
had been bitten, and thinking that
something had stuck in the goose's
throat, inserted her finger to remove
the obstacle, when the goose closed its
teeth upon her finger.
She arrived yesterday and went to
the Institute, where she received three
inoculations. This will be repeated
for several days.

The scene is vividly present in my
Columbia Centennial, 1891.

The scene is wildly present in my
minds eye; and I must describe it in
the present tense. The spacious fire.
place glows with heat and light. The
"old man" sits at one corner of the
hearth and the "old womann at the
other; while some near neighbors, male
and female, extend the circle, though
leaving vacancy toward the center of
the large chamber where the girls had
all day been engaged in their merry
work. Now the mirth begins. The
long-forgotten rustic plays have been
thrust aside by the more elegant car
nalities of cotillions and waltzes; but
my recollection of these antiquated en-
joyments are pleasant under the con-
viction of their harmlessness. They
begin with the play OF 'Pleased or dis
pleased?"-waving a knotted handker-
chief for gently enforcing compliance.
Next, perhaps, is heard "Here we go
round the rosemary bush, so early in
the morning.; nor do they discard the
game of forfeits depending upon the
question "fne or superfne?" in which
that very fellow Henry Schneider,
already mentioned, hoping that his
forfeit might require him to kiss Polly
Fielder, is, through plot matured by
Polly and Fritz Vollneer, condemned
to look up the chimney and cry, "Fool,
fool look at your brother; you're one
and I am another" There is one more
play which at this time is continued
"tel fur in de night" In the reversed
youthfulness of old age that precedes
second childhood I look back, with
feelings chastened by regret for the mis-
takes of manhood, and innocently re-
member the thrill which animated my
heart, Of only ten years throbbing, while
I watched with delight the kiss so Of
ten passing from theory into practice,
that night, and likewise admired the
accompanying poetry. This is the
manner fit. A chair is placed in the
centre of the room; and around it
marches procession Of swains and
maidens. The young woman Of the
leading couple begins to sing in clear,
high soprano tones:
Ho, hit rains, and hit hail, and hits co-old
stormy we-uth-er,
a I'D h'in-n-n-in comes the lan-hand-lord q
drink-hing-ing of cider.
This is followed by the young man !;
singing in deep, bass tones, as he places
a hat on his partners head:
Hits put this hat on your head, keep your
head war-rum,
HITS taks swe-e.e-e.et kiss. and twill do
you no har.rum.
The thick, rough curtain Of recent
change drops before MY eyes; and the
scene vanishes.

handles it with vigor altogether un-
usual with him.
So the days work has been started
on its course. The axes stroke re-
sounds continuously amidst the crash
of falling trees and the whoop of tri.
umphant labor.
Meanwhile, at the house the girls,
with the inimitable red lips and rosy
cheeks that result only from the free
play of untram meled respiratory organs,
range themselves around in the largest
apartment, and ply their cards with
that quick, grating sound which is no
longer heard in these days, and remem-
bered only by a few old people who, as
if beckoned by it, follow after toward
the realms of silence. How merrily
ringing is the tell-tale laugh in answer
to the playful insinuation. How un-
ceasingly do the heaps of cotton rolls
increase, and how gently are they lifted
up to be carefully laid away in barrels
for future spinning by the family on
coming rainy days and bright winter
evenings. Out in the yard under the
wide-reaching white oak is heard the
loud hammering connected with the
construction of the dinner-table forty
yards long with space for eighty plates
and elbow-room enough for the guests
to "help themselves and feel at home"
Savory odors Of baking meats spread
over the premises, and the evidences of
chicken-pies, custards, and rice nud-
dings are overwhelming.
Thus the day passed on. About
three o'clock, the axe-mep looked
about them, and found that all the
trees in the gin-house field which had
greeted them in the early morning now
lay PROSTATE on the ground, except the
spreading dogwood reserved fore short
but refreshing rest in tie midday heat
ofapproaching summer seasons. When
everything was ready at the house, the
dinner-horn was sounded; and all
work being ended, the axes and the
cards were laid aside, and the guests
prepared themselves to surround the
table groaning under a profusion Of
delicacies and substantials for which
not one cent was required to be ex-
pended.
This, all this was in The oldcn
Time, long ago,
when such thing as lock was un-
known in glorious Dutch Fork; and
when there was outlay of money for
little else but sugar, coffee, and the di-
minutive hank of Turkey Red. The
promise of the negro boy, in delivering
the message of his ''missus" ''dat dere
was ewine to be 'musement fur into de
night" soon began its fulflment, after
the enjoyment at the table.
