At Jonah, near bere, a mass meeting of

The Greenville News thinks if there
is statesman in either branch of Con-
gress it is time for him to show HIM
self and make the fact known. TO this
we heartily agree. The country was
never in greater need of statesman
than st the present time. The oppor-
tunity now presents itself for some
man to make name and fame for
himself, and at the same time serve his
country in the time of her great need.
Let him come forth.

Gen'l Agent for Eastern Maine,

Dear Sir:
Twenty years ago l made an in
ves:ment which has just matured.
Notwithstanding the fact that it
was an absolutely safe and conserv-
ative investment, l find that for the
whole twenty years it has yielded
me interest at the rate of ouer sar per
cent. per unnum. In these times
when it is so hard to find invest
ments which are absolutely secure
aud at the same time yield a fair
rate Of interest, I should be a very
unreasonable man ifI were not sat-
isfed with this return.
But this is not all. 1n consider
alton of the money invested during
the last twenty years, without any
additional payment on my part,
one of the strongest financial insti.
tutions of the world has guaranteed
to pay my family in the event of
my death, $1,000. This insurance.
extending over 50 long a period,
has large money value, and when
that value is taken into considera-
ton, in addito on to the cash return
stated below, it is not to be won
dered at that an: astoni.hed at the
result.
You have asked my opinion, and
I have given it for the benefit OF
others, who will follow my example
if they know what is good for them.
Besides an offer of s3,237 81 in
cash, l was given the choice of va
rious other methods of settlement.
For example, instead Of taking cash
I might have surrendered my policy
for s6,932 90 Of paid up assurance;
or for an annuity which would
have yielded me an income OF
s247 56 for the rest Of my life.
Yours truly,
CHARLES w. JOHNSTON.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, August IL
telegraphed you last night in regard to
the serious accident which occurred
here yesterday about s p. N. The
faculty were in session when some one
ran in announcing that the boys were
fighting. Iran out and found that the
gangway or visduct leading from the
ground outside to the second story OF
the dormitory had been crowded with
boys running in to escape from the
rain, and that this viaduct had given
way, precipitating perhaps hundred
boys, right and left. Some three or
four were caught under the falling
timbers, but had been rescued by the
time 1 reached the spot. The infor-
nation wired you last night was sub
stantially correct.
Here follows list Of boys slightly
injured, similar to above. ED H. & n.
The following boys are seriously but
not fatally injured-so our physicians
confidently believe: W.S. Yoe, Pegues,
Holstein, Carter, White, Whitman,
Leichester, Vogel, Goodson, Mahahey.
The boys are doing we'll.

WAS an after-thonght, so I learn, and
not in the architects original plan. It
was constructed for convenience, and
it gave way because the heavy timbers
running from the ground to the wiz
dows were not braced up by iron bars
and this sprang apart where heavy
pressure was brought upon them. The
flooring gave way, and the brick con-
structed pillars gave way, and hence
the whole passage crowded with boys
went tumbling down.
can in no way censure the students.
It is just, however, to say that two or
three students, when they saw the boys
running from the rain, thoughtlessly,
playing and good na,uredly, stood in
| the doorway and held the other boys
back, thus forcing great jam and
tremendous pressure on this part of the
| passage.

doctors were on the spot within an
hour of the occurrence. The students

and manly and sympathetic.

To blake IL Cellar Waterproof.

a cellar can be so constructed as to be
waterproof if the bottom of floor is first
covered with cement, the walls built there
on laid in cement and the exterior of the
walls covered with cement. Sanitary Plum
Der says this makes practically water
tight basin. The cement used must be the
best Portland cement one part, clean sharp
sand one part. After n cellar is built it is
not so easy to make it waterproof Still it
can be done. Cover the exterior of the wall
with the above cement, ditto the bottom,
and work the cement in under the bottom
of the wall. If these directions are followed
you will succeed, but if cheap materials
are used and the work badly done you will
be sure to fail. y drain put around the out
side of the wall or even inside below the
cellar floor may be efficient in carrying Off
the water if you can give it good delivery.

relief of the poor of Salem mot in the
courthouse yesterday afternoon with a
view OF perfecting the Organization
commenced week ago. w. M. Mont
gomery was called to tho chair as tenn
porary chairman and Frank A. Love
lock acted as temporary secretary. Tho
committee Of five appointed at tho last
meeting brought in the following re-
port, which, with an amendment offered
by w. r. Whitescaryer, was adopted:
Your committee recommend that
this organization shall BIO known as the

Also, THAT this meeting do now

Telegraph Wires and Drought.

Professor Virgins believes that telegraph
wires cause drought. that the atmosphere
cannot absorb moisture unless it is charged
with electricity and that upon an oblate
spheroid like the earth the electricity will
inevitably collect at the equator. In this
way, according to The Industrial World, he
explains the frequency of rains at the
equator IF, however" he says, there be
elevated spots on the sphere, electricity will
collect on them. Should these spots or con-
tinents be connected by wires it might ac-
cumulate on each alternately. This has hap
pened this year, and America has all of the
electric energy and Europe has lost it, so
that our continent is flooded and Europe is
burned up with drought" His conclusion
from all this is that electric wires should
be buried
