silk from Wood.

A London paper says that at Besau-
oOn, France, the production of silk
from wood pulp is very successful. 1t
has never come into common use, one
reason being the extreme inflamma-
bility of the material, As we'll as its
want of durability. In one OF the
consular reports, quoted in the Lon
don Times, details OF the process are
given, and an account OF the forma-
of new company at st. Etienne, but
the conclusion is that the expert
ments are more curious than i'm
pOrtant, and the silkwOrm will re-
main the triumphant producer OF
good silk.

Mr.. Bob Harris has been confirmed
as postmaster at Union in spite of the
protest of Senator Irby. Maybe that is
the cause of the pitiable condition of
Senator Irby when he came through
Columbia the other day. 1t is a great
pity that Senator lrby made such an
exhibition of himself. If he wanted to
drown his sorrows in that way it would
have been tenfcld better if be had done
50 in private. This would have been
better for the honor and reputation
of South Carolina. And also better
for those who put him in his pres
ent position by their votes. Poor
South Carolina and poor Mr.. Irby, both
have our profound sympathy. A great
many very learned men and men who
hold high and honorable positions have
been known on occasions to take too
much of the stuff which maketh merry,
and it must be said not to their credit,
but we do not remember to have heard
of their making such an exhibition OF
themselves. Certainly no South Carroll
MAN.
We agree with the Greenville News
in the opinion that it would have been
much better not to have given such
wide publicity to the doings of the
Senator in that condition, and if the
matter had been left to as we would
have kept it out of the newspapers, but
now it has been published from one end
of this country to the other.

That was a terrible affair in Roan-
oke, Va, last week. It is bad that
nine citizens should have to sacrifice
their lives and all about negro who
mercilessly beaten an aged white had
woman for the purpose of robbery.
But the mob that wanted to lynch
him was wrong. He was in the hands
of the law and would have been duly
punished for his crime. The mob was
warned to desist but instead they fired
on the soldiers who were guarding the
Jail and the fire was returned with a
terrible result. The mob was wrong,
yet We cannot but feel what pity it is
that so many good and useful citizens
should have to die over a worthless
and brutal negro. Still, mob law must
have place to stop, or our laws anG
courts will be use less machinery, and
the life and liberty Of none Of our citi-
zens will be safe. The woman was net
fatally injured and will recover.

NEWSPAPER CHANGE IN COLUMBIA.
The State and the journal to be Under the
Same Management, but Edited Inde-
pendently of Each Other.
Special to Sunday News.

lSpSCldi W O0haoJ ANO"o.i
COLUMBIA, September 23.-There
was report current this afternoon that
the State Publishing Company had
purchased the Columbia Journal. Mr..
H. P. Clarke, the president of the Jour-
nal, was seen about the matter and
said the report was true, and that the
State Publishing Company had bought
the Journal, together with its plant
and good will. The paper will be con-
tinued under its present name. This
makes Mr.. 81. P. Clarke one of the
largest owners in the State Company.
Mr.. Ambrose E. Gonzales will con-
tinue as the president and business
manager of the State Publishing Com
pany and Mr.. n. 6. Gonzales as editor
and manager. The State Company's
Office will be the headquarters of the
two papers, the State and the Jour-
nal.
The State has just put in four lineo-
type type-setting machines which will
be used in the publication of the two
papers. Mr.|W.W. Price, of the Jour-
nal, will be retained by the new man
agement. Capt. John 6. Capers, who
has done creditable work as editor of
the Journal, will give his entire lime
to his law practice. He has been giving
a portion of bis time to editorial work,
but prefers to devote his entire time to
the law. The Journal will be moved
to the State Office in few days.
The papers will be entirely indepen-
dent of each other editorially. Mr.. n.
G. Gonzales will continue the editor
ship of the State, but who will edit the
Journal has not yet been determined.

There seems to be no end of the liti-


CATION which the State is getting into
from its being in the whiskey business.
The State has taken out a wholesale
license and retail licenses for tie sale
of liquors, but DR.. Ensor, who is a
United States Deputy Marshal, says
he shall seize the first barrel of dispen-
sary whiskey he finds without the
stamp. It is now a matter of stamps.
If we understand the law it requires a
dealer who ships five gallons or more
in one package to put a United States
stamp Oh it. The State has been ship
ping to the counties whiskey in bar
rels without this stamp.
The State, we presume, will take the
position that it is shipping to itself;
that the county establishments are
only branches of the big State tree in
Columbia. But that will not stop the
lawsuit if DR.. Ensor finds any whiskey
and carries out his purpose.
DR.. Ensor has since written to Mr..
Traxler that upon examination he
does not consider the shipments vio-
lation of the revenue laws.

The Baptist church of Timmonsville
is after State liquor Dispenser Traxler
for holding the position he does, while
at the same time being prominent
member in the aforementioned church.
Mr.. Traxler says he is in favor Of the
law and hopes it will be success in
reducing the amount of liquor con-
sumed. When he finds that as much
is sold as was under the old plan of
license then he will resign, for in that
event he cannot see how it will help
the cause of temperance. If the law
prove success from Mr.. Traxler's way
of counting it a success, it will scarcely
be financial success. He seems to
be in the business for the good he can
do.
We are no prophet, but if Mr.. Trax-
ler's idea is carried out we do not believe
it will be long before the law is repealed
by our Legislature. We may be mis-
taken, but we fear it was more the de-
sire to make money than to promote
temperance, that gave rise to the Dis
pepsary law.

r1LLMAN,s MEN HAD WARRANTS.
But Uncle Sam Had Already Seized the
Thirteen Barrels OF "Peppersauee "

CHARLESTON, Sept. 2l.-The United
States took hand to-day in the Dis
pensary law war now raging here, and
the Internal Revenue Department is to-
night ahead of the game. On Tuesday
last the State constable arrested. James
E. Edgertou, ag-ut of the Clyde line Of
New York ana Charleston steamships,
on the charge of bringing liquor into
the State against he Dlsp. n>ary law.
The liquor iu question consisted OF
thirteen barrels lahelIed peppersauce.
It was suspected as liquor for the 'blind
tigers" in Charleston. The constabnlary
attempted TO seize the consignment,
but didu't have the necessary papers,
and the barrels remained in the custody
of the steamship agents. To-day the
constabulary received their warrant Of
seizure and proceeded to seize it, but
were surprised on their arrival to find
the thirteen barrels in the custody of a
deputy internal revenue collector. The
goods were seized under Section 3,449,
Revised Statutes, which confscates all
spiritous and fermented liquors or wines
which shall be found under any other
than the proper name or brand known
to the trade.
There are now two claimants for the
goods in the field, the State and Federal
Governments, and both mean to fight
for the prize. Meantime the thirteen
barrels are IN the possession of the
Federsl Government. Their contents
will be examined tomorrow. Those
vino know Gov. Tillman are confident
that he will direct his coDstables to seize
the property in spite Of the possession
of the revenue department.

The Senate is still debating the Sher-
man act. The Lodge election bill was
talked to death in the same body, and
the idea of the silver men who oppose
the repeal of the Sherman law, though
in the minority, seems to be to do
the same thing now.
With this sort of rule one or two
men who had the physical endurance
could defeat the passage of any law.
AID nearly all those who are fighting
the repeal favor repeal, but they want
to make conditions. Ifit is bad law
and should be repealed, we see no rea-
son for delay, and then so to work and
pass the needed new legislation. The
Democratic platform declares for the
coinage of both silver and gold, and all
branches of the government have a
majority elected on that platform.

The Laurensville Herald does not
believe that Senator Irby was under
the influence of whiskey when he ap-
peared in Colambia last week as re-
ported in the newspapers. Well, the
Herald may not think so, but the evi-
dence seems to be too strong to make
many other people think with our CO.
temporary, and we do not believe that
Senator Irby will corroborate the state
ment himself. 1t is very sad occur
renee, but it cannot be gotten out of by
denial. True, many other great men
have, on occasion, taken too much Of
the merry making stuff, but we do not
remember of their making such an ex-
hibition Of themseles, and even if they
did, a reform statesman should not fol-
low in the footsteps of the old oligar-
chy. We have been taught to think
better of reform, and reform leaders.

THE SAME OLD STORY.
A Child Shot While Playing With an Old
Pistol.
Especial to The State.

Especial to The State.
PRosPERITY, Sept. pa painful
and most probably fatal accident oc-
Cured near here yesterday. It is the
old story of the unloaded pistol.
The children OF Mr.. J. A. Baker
were playing in the cotton field near
where some negroes were picking cot
ton, and found a pistol which had
been left or lost on the ground by one
of the negroes. The children began
playing with the pistol, revolving and
swapping it. They finally went to the
house, taking their pistol with them,
and still toying with it after they got
into the house, and while in the pres
ence of the family AID after continuous
revolving and swapping, one chamber
was discharged, the ball entering the
head above the left ear of little five
year-old sister. The ball ranged up
ward, penetrating the brain.
Drs. Langford and Julian were called
to attend the little sufferer. They
found the ball lodged between the two
tables Of the skull, from where they ex-
trscted it. The pistol was in hands of
a fourteen-year-old brother when dis
charged. Upon examination it was
found that one chamber was loaded
when found. The little girl is in a
critical condition, and probably will
die

WITHOUT CLEARING house CERTIF-
ICATES,

There is one thing for which Newber-
~ should be proud. By the wise and
careful management of Mr.. McCaugh-
rim and those associated with him, and
of President Mcintosh and Wheeler 4
Mosely, Bankers, of Prosperity, New
berry County has managed to pull
through the worst Of the financial
stringency without resorting to the
use of clearing house certificates. 1t
has been heavy strain on the banks
as, we'll as individuals, but we have
reached the cotton crop and it is being
paid for without the use Of clearing
house certificates. and in good and
sound money. Those who are in the
habit of fippantly abusing the banks
and those in charge of them do not ap-
preciate the strain these gentlemen
have undergone to keep this portion OF
the commercial world moving. The
merchants as well IS the farmers had
to get money from the banks in order
that the people might be furnished
with provisions to make the crop, and
then money had to be had with which
to move the crop, and it has all been
done here in Newberry County with
good and regular money. Let US hope
for better times very soon. Cotton has
an upward tendency and we believe
the farmers will realize fair price for
their cotton.

It must be remembered that the as
sessnlent of the railroad property in
cludes Eae increase put on it by the
State Beard and portion of which
was not collected last year and the year
before. The Columbia & Greeville
railroad oeid on an assessment of 81 900
q mile. The amount fixed by the rail-
road beard of assessors is 1O,5OO mile
and it appears on the abstract OF the
Auditor, as given herewith, at THIS
rate. THIS makes a difference IN the
assessment of taxable property for the
county OF about $9S,000. The ordinary
county tax and the constitutional 2
mill tax, it will be observed, are IN the
aggregate fraction below what they
were last year, but when we take otf
the decrease in the assessment of the
railroad property it will be seen that
the burden on the other taxpayers OF
the county, for these two purposes, IS
also increased.
Next year the ordinary county tax
will have to be materially increased
for the county treasury has been out OF
money for two months or more already.
This deficiency will have to be made
up and the levy to meet current ex-
penses will have to be increased.
We hope the taxpayers will give
these figures careful study. They
contain information that every tax
payer should be in possession OF.

Is THIS TRUE?

It is stated that the Hon. Ben Ter
rell, the great alliance lecturer of Texas,
is coming to South Carolina in October
to deliver series of lectures. In this
connection the following press dispatch
has been published:
ATLANTA, GA, Septembe. "a special
from Washington says:
South Carolina has another sensation.
CONSERVATION was thrown into the reform
ranks here when it was stated by Texas con-
gresham that the celebrated Ben Terrell was
On his way to South Carolina for the purpose
Of conferring with the reform leaders in that
State to mature plans for the launching a
third party movement there.
1t Is positively stated, also, that Senator
Irby left here night before last in order to be
present at the confab This rumor is largely
substantiated by the fact that Mr.. Irby leaves
his seat in the Senate at this particular mo-
ment when crisis is at hand and hard
battle is being fought, when the free silver
men are rallying all their support for final
death struggle, and every free silver vote is
needed
The reform members Of Congress from
South Carolina are all aware that Mr.. Terrell
Is going to the Palmetto State, but if they
know anything OF his purpose or intentions
they affect entire Ignorance.
M Terrell may be coming, but we
do not believe that his coming had
anything to do with the coming home
of Senator Irby. He would hardly
just yet go to organizing another party.
The end of his present term in the SEN
ate is too far away yet. Mr.. Irby
seems to have gotten home for other
reasons, but just what he may do now
since he is home under these peculiar
circumstances, We will not pretend tc
say.
Ifihe Populists expect to organize
another party We hope it will be done
before our next campaign opens, so that
we may know who are with US and who
are against US. Then we can have s
Democratic primary with none bu'
Democrats and have a Democratic or
ganlzation with which to meet the op
position. Let us know who is who.

Dear Sir:-I beg leave to acknowl-
edge receipt OF the Equitable Life
Assurance Society's check in settle
ment of policy No. 1928 on the
life of Charles H. Plummer, de-
ceased. The payment of this claim
within three days after presentation
of proofs is an agreeable surprise to
me and the other benefciaries un-
der the policy, as l was not aware
that the Equitable had departed
from the usual rule of life compa-
nies in taking from sixty to ninety
days in settlement of their policies
after receipt of satisfactory proofs Of
death. Mr.. Plummer's purpose in
taking out this policy vas to
strengthen bis credit, as it was well
known in business circles thats he
at times took great chances in his
dealings.
At his suggestion, about two
years since the policy was assigned
to me as security for an indebted
ness. Soon after this be became
EN- mbarrassed and was unable to pay
the premiums. When the value Of
the contract was explained to me
Git being a Is year Tontine), | de-
cided to pay the future premiums,
at least until the assured's financial
condition would permit him to re-
turn me the money l had paid out.
The wisdom of my decision in
this case is now clearly proven, as
the proceeds of the policy will not
only llquidate all my claims, but it
is presu med will leave q handsome
balance for the estate.
cannot say too much in express.
ing nv ad imitation for the company
and its methods; neither can l too
highly commend it to other capl-
talists who from time to time take
chances on men engaged IN busl-
ness whose transactions are on a
large scale and at times precarlous,
as should death occur when there
is large Indebtedness, their estate
would be much embarrassed, or
possibly ;nsolvent.
Yours truly.
