Buried Treasure Found.

Mr.. W. H. Lyles returned to the city
yesterday from stay at his summer
home at Landrum's, on the Asheville end
Spartanburg road, near the State line.
He tells the story of the remarkable find
of buried treasure upon the plantation
adjoining his place by poor white far
mer. The treasure is all in gold coin,
some of the coins being over It's years
old. All of it is the coin of foreign
countries, and the dates range from 1719
to 1892.
A few days ago q white farmer was
ploughing in the field. His plow turned
up two Of these gold coins. He picked
them up and went ahead. His wife came
along shortly afterwards, hoeing. She
dug up two more. Then they stopped
work and went back to the spot, Begin
ming to dig. In q short time they unearth-
ed q pile, with no other covering than the
earth, Of over 100 of these gold coins.
Each one Of them was as bright and shiny
as If IL had just come from the mint. The
money value of the gold itself is about
$500. Some time ago the same farmer dug
up an old skillet near the same place. 1t
is supposed that the coins were buried
therein.
The land upon which this gold was
found formerly belonged to Thomas
Earle, but there is no clue to solve the
riddle of how this treasure came to be
buried there. It is supposed to have been
a collection of rare coins made by some
man with fancy for such things during
the present century and buried there for
safe keeping during the war.
The value Of the coins, on account OF
their age and rarity, is no doubt, very
considerable. The coins are Spanish,
English, German, etc.
Mr.. Lyles secured two of them. They
are beauties. One of them is the size of
five dollar gold piece. On one side is the
inscription in Latin, "Philip V, by the
grace Of God, King of Spain and India"
This surrounds the head of Philip.
On the diverse is the crown and coat arms
of Philip and this inscription on it.:
"The fear of God is the beginning of wis
DOM"
The other coin is larger. Surrounding
the head of woman, Louis queen no
doubt, is the inscription "Louis XIV, by
the grace of God, King of France and
Navarro, 1779." On the diverse is the
maltese cross with fleur de lis in the CEN
ter and the inscription in Latin, "Christ
reigns, conquers and rules"
The farmer will doubtless realize q
handsome sum for his ind.-Columbia

A Talk With Capt. Shell.
Columbia State.

WASHINGTON, August 6.-Representa-
tive Shell, OF South Carolina arrived here
"Will you be candidate for Governor
of South Carolina 2" I asked.
Mr.. Shell replied: 81 shall not he can
didate for any other public Office. / have
already announced to my people that
shall retire to my farm at the expiration
of my present term in Congress. I expect
to spend the remainder Of m y life on that
farm"
In regard to the status Of South Caro-
lima politics, he said: "The men who
led the political revolution in South Car
olina three years ago, and VINO succeeded
in gaining control Of the State, are now
divided into two factions, and are fight
ing each other bitterly among them
selves. Adjutant General Hugh l.. Farley,
who was one of the best workers OF the
reform element, has dissolved with Sem
ator Irby and Governor Tillman, and is
alreadysan announced candidate to sue
ceed me in Congress. think he will be
elected, in spite of the opposition Of Till
man and Irby."
"Will Senator Butler be reelected ?"
"If the election was in the hands Of this
Legislature he would have no chance, bat
many things can happen in two years, and
1 would not be atall surprised to see Gen..
Butler returned"
All interest Of the delegation now is
regarding the places the members will
get on the committees. If chairman
Ship falls to South Carolina it will 60 to
Mr.. Shell. He was the strongest Crisp
man in the delegation. An effort is being
made by Maj. Brawley's friends TO have
him given craftsmanship, but as he was
the only one Of the delegates who oppos-
ed Crisp to the last, 1t is hardly
possible he will take. The new menu
bers will be scattered on the minor COM
mittees.
Mr.. Shell has appointed his son, Frank
Shell, to be his clerk. Mr.. Shell thinks
the next Governor of South Carolina will
be either w. D. Evans or James e. Tin
dal. He does not know whom he will
support for the Senate. "I am not ready
to commit myself. A year makes big
difference sometimes" he said.

Bloody Talk In Bleeding Kansas.

TOPEKA, AUG. 5.-The Hughes court
martial, which will continue another
week, has revived the war spirit of last
winter, and the refusal of Col. Hughes
to obey the Governor is referred to by
the populists as the greatest crime in the
history of the State. The republicans to
a man stand by Colonel Hughes and he is
their hero.
In leading editorial to-day the Ottawa
Journal edited by State Printer Snow, in
outlining the plans of the populists for
the future, says:
"The cold fact remains that the repub-
licans will respect the muzzle Of Win
chester if nothing else. Populists must
make up their minds that they must pro-
tect by force their victory at the ballot
box.
''The shedding of human blood is mel
ancholy business, but better, tenfold bet
ter that Topeka should be made grave
yard, that not an inch should be left up
on another, that the plougher and sower
should traverse its site than that the re-
publican crime Of last winter should be
repeated"
These incendiary utterances have great
ly stirred the republicans who declare
that they will be ready to meet the pop.
uAAoso VIZ eAAoAA oWA EASoAbs
At several points In the State indepen-
dent companies have been organized and
will be thoroughly drilled.
Senator Sol. Miller, who has been a
resident of Kansas for thirty-fve years.
advises republicans to organize and
arm companies ready for business. he
says:
"Under the law independent companies
can be organized anywhere in the State.
Tens of thousands Of republicans own
their own weapons-shotguns or Win
chester rifes-that are more effective
than the muskets furnished by the
State, and their owners are eexperta in their
use.
"Let rifle and shotgun companies be Or
ganized and drilled, They would more
than match Artz and his riff-raf and in
pitched battle could NOW them down in
battalions."
These threats tend to arouse the blood
of both parties and incite the radical ele-
ment to reiterate them on every street
corner.-Neau York World.

4 Lesson to Lynchers.

IND1ANAPoLIs, IND, April GA special
to the Sentinel from Corydon, Ind, says
Last night Boone Township, in this ooun-
ty, was made the scene of the most terri
Bile shooting affray that ever occurred in
this part of the State. A large crowd of
men went to the home of William and
Edward Conrad for the purpose of lynch
ing the two boys, who were supposed to
have killed their father last winter. The
young Conrads had received notice some
time ago that if they did not leave the
neighborhood they would be lynched.
Upon this notice the boys armed them
selyes with shotguns and revolvers, and
then awaited the coming of the lynchers.
The boys secreted themselves, and
when the crowd appeared on the porch
they fired into them, killing John Tim
berlake and William Weseman instantly,
after which the crowd dispersed, and be-
fore they could regain their self-posses-
sion they were again fired into aud Ed
Houston and Isaiah Howe we're instantly
killed and William May fatally shot.
The mob numbered about one hundred
men, and those killed and wounded are
the best citizens in the township. The
two Conrad boys escaped. They have al
WAYS been regarded as very vicious and
worthless, and if caught will be lynch
ed.
The most intense excitement prevails
throughout the Southern part OF the
County.

The Atlanta Constitution gives some
good advice when 1t says: "Let our far
mers sell; their cotton as soon as it is
ready to- market. All cotton gathered
before frost will lose twenty pounds to
the bale after it is ginned and packed If
held for any leagth of time. The farmer
loses this when he holds his green cot
ton. Sell your cotton and get your mon
ey for 1t, pay your debts, If you owe any
and stop interest. If you store your cot
ton and pay interest on your debts and
insurance and then lose twenty pounds
to the bale, and finally have to sell it at a
lesser price in April than you can get in
April or September, you are bound to
lose great deal. If you want to hold
anything hold your cotton seed, they al
ways sell for more in the spring than in
the fall, but be certain to have them
housed and well cared for"

An Injured Husbands Shotgun

WILLIAMSON, s. c., August 2.-Un-
written law in South Carolina DEGREES
death to the destroyer of woman's
honor.
In obedience to the high behests Of this
law John Hicks shot one Jep. Reynolds,
on the place of J. w. Willis, near Pelzer,
on the Greenville side, yesterday after
noon. Hicks caught Reynolds in COM
promising position with his (Hick's)
wife, secured his gun, and meeting Rey-
nolds, emptied two loads of buckshot in
his side and abdomen. Reynolds received
medical attention at once, and it was
found that forty-one shot had taken ef-
feet. At this writing Reynolds is alive,
but there is scant hope Of his recovery.
The woman in the case has heretofore
borne good reputation, and was evident
ly seduced by designing bastard. Pub.
lie sentiment upholds Hicks. Reynolds
himself said after he was shot that he did
not blame Hicks in the least.

In Abandoned Baby.

On Friday last young white woman
got off the down train of the G. 81 G. road
at Helena with small baby. She went
to the house of Leonard Floyd, colored,
and asked his wife Judy to take care Of
her and the baby all night, which the
colored woman did.
The next morning the white woman
left the house early, saying she would
come down to Newberry and get some
employment and then return for the baby.
She came to towu and took the a. N.
train on the c., N. & l.. road for Colum-
bia, and has not returned or been heard
of since.
The baby Ia pretty girl about three
months old. The woman, who Is its moth
or, left quite quantity of nice garments
use, but no money.
The young woman got on the G. & G..
road at Seneca. She came recently from
Mississippi, where her husband lives.
Why they separated and why she
wanted to get rid of her baby are ques-
tions that it is useless to speculate about.
It is sad case.
She is member of one of the best
families in Fairfield County. EHer broth
or, q fine young man, was here Monday
looking for the baby, and found 1t. He
did not know what to do about it, and
made arrangements for it to remain here
until he could 60 home and consult his
father.
On Tuesday colored woman came
with letter from the father to carry the
baby back with her; but the County
Commissioners thought they did not have
right to turn it over to any person ex-
cept It's parents, and the woman went
back without it.
Arrangements will be completed to-day
whereby the baby will be turned over to
the father of the young woman, who will
take it to his home and care for it.
UP to Monday the young mother had
not gone to her fathers.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Chapman kindly
took the baby to care for untiii could be
placed in the keeping of those most enti-
tied to it.-NeWber1Y Observer, august 8.

Great Big REVIEWERS.

+ COLUMBIA, 8. c., Aug. 4.-The spy sys-
tenn Of the State dispensary Is very likely
to create trouble. It is obnoxious to the
public and in some places it is not i'm
probable that these prying emissaries will
not be tolerated. The treatment given
them in Sumter yesterday, where they
were beaten and rotten egged, has arous-
ed the ire Of Governor Tillman and to-day
he opened an ordnance department for
the State constabulary. He ss,ys that he
is tired having State officials insulted and
that unless it is stopped somsbody will
get hurt.
Then Governor Tillman was asked if
he had enough constables to go the rounds
and he replied: "There are great many
constables who are not doing any arrest
ing, but there are plenty more where
they came from"
Just as the newspaper men were about
to leave the executive chamber Govern
or Tillman got up and walked over to a
cabinet and opened drawer. In 1t were
q lot of belts and another drawer was
opened and in II were lot Of large Colts
army revolvers-great big ones. When
Governor Tillman was asked what they
were for he replied: "Look st the Sec
tions SIG and 5lS and you will see"
These sections refer to arming the con-
stables.
"How many have you got ?" was ask
"Oh, all we need. They won't rotten
egg any more State constables,"
Ills that what they are for?"
s'Thats one thing they age for. I
am going to see that they are not ILL
treated. I'm going to issue instruc-
tons that they shall nse them when ne
cessary."
Just as the reporters were going out
Governor Tillman remarked, pointing to
small wooden box, "That ia box of
cartridges"
It Is Suggested that Governor Tillman
was trying to scare people by she news
paper accounts, and he promptly replied,
isI'm going to issue orders for the first
one of them to shoot when he Is struck.
I'm not gcing to allow the State consta-
bles to be made dogs by the bar Keepers
and their. followers"
The dispensary rules have been amen
ded 30 as to require applicants tor liquors
to state in their requests for whom and
whose use the liquor is wanted, and
whenever an application Is falt,ely made
for the use of minor or for person who
uses intoxicating liquors to excess war
rant will be sworn ohr by the dispenser
against such persons. County dispensers
will not be governed by physician's
certificate in making sales at night, but
by their knowledge Of the applicant and
his character for truthfulness. The dis
pensary must not be opened after hours
except in cases Of bona fde illness, re-
quiring liquor as medicine aud where a
physician's certificate ia presented, his
character must be considered before
filling.-Greerville Ne,0S.
