slider much the bestfor sufferers
from rheumatism.
It was bright and cheerful with
the sunlight nearly every day
while. we were there. After the
terrible storm of the 9th ult. the
creek got in very angry frame of
mind and rose several times. The
situation of the shaft is quite q
pretty one, Nesting at the foot of
the mountain with a lake just in
front, and the hills and valleys of
the surrounding country covered
with crops of corn and cotton just
beyond.
The hotel is on the top of the
mountain. 1t has forty-four rooms
ald is q fine looking building. Mr..
Hunter has charge of it and the
electric shaft on the north side.
He had his shaft free for a couple
of months, excepting a charge of
$1.OO q week for a cot and IL cents
a week for each chair. Now, how
ever, he has resumed the old price
of50 cents a day for treatment. the
same as at the new Southside San
itarium. That is a damp current
and he keeps the rock wet and
sanded floor damp. They claim
that the electricity prevents any
one from taking cold from the
dampness. For my own part, how
ever, I prefer the dry current.
There were several visitors from
Edgefeld up there, and they called
around to visit us at the shaft. / en-
joyed renewing their acquaintance
and had some very pleasant days
while there, and regretted to leave.
The waters from two of the mineral
springs can be shipped, and they
sometimes ship as much as a car
load at a time to Chicago. Anti
febrile water will lower the temper
aturo of fever patients very
quickly; Anti-nansea water will
prevent sickness. Both of them
and the Magic, composition of
sulphur, iron, and electricity, will
all act beneficially on the kidneys,
liver, lungs, and heart. 1t is a
great place and many wonderful
cures attest its remedial powers.
Go up and try it, Mr.. Editor, and
Mr.. Hillman will give you a well
come and a learned talk about
electricity. Ask for Mrs. overton's
hack and 1T will take you right to
her pleasant home.

MIR. TELLER IN TEARS.
A Remarkable { ne on The
Floor of Th.. late.

Washington Post.
The remarkable spectacle OF q
Senator of the United States in
tears upon the floor of the Senate
was observed yesterday afternoon
when Senator Teller, of Colorado,
having been drawn into q discus
sion with Senator Hawley,in which
he began to dwell upon the suffer-
|lng switch would fall upon the
people of his section and OF the
United States should the repeal
bill become a law.
AS he proceeded he became
more and more wrought up to a
pitch ofintensity unlike anything
ever seen on the floor. He paced
up and down the narrow space be-
hind bis desk, earnestly gesticula-
ting, while with a voice tremulous
with emotion and his eyes wet with
teal, he pictured the misery that
he saw in the future for the people
whom he loved. The spectacle was
SO striking and so unusual that st
riveted the attention of every
Senator. The words poured from
Mr.. Teller's lips in a passionate
torrent, so carried away was he
with his theme, and when, with
clinched fist, he denounced the
"damnable BILL" the galleries burst
forth with appluse.
With all this there was nothing
theatrical about the scene. Mr..
Teller is so sincere, SO honests 80
hostile to any form of trlckery that
every Senator felt he believed
every word he uttered and respec-
ted the intensity of the feeling
which made him give away to his
emotions. When he had concluded
he sank into his seat, buried his
face in his bands, and presented q
living picture of the misery he
had so touchingly described.

The Vdleo aDeLaW Eupns0lSS onpared with PalHp Vdu@

1t is the custom of many companies to provide
in their policies that, upon discontinuance of
payment of Premium, paid-up policies will be
given without the option of extension. This
was the practice of the Union Mutual before
the Maine Non-F Forfeiture Law was enacted,
but it now substitutes for paid-up values the
more advantageous plan of extended insurance.
The objection to the paid-up system is that the
amount OF paid-up insurance which is given
upon the discontinuance of payments upon
policy, unless it has been in force great many
years is insignificant, and of little or no value
as protection; and it leaves the insured who
ceases payment without adequate insurance at
the very time he needs it the most.
The great advantage of the extended insur-
ance afforded by the Maine Law over the most
liberal paid-up system is striklngly shown by
the following comparison, and it will be OBJ
served that the paid-up value is Insignificant
in comparison with the amount actually paid
by the Union Mutual. The result of two hun
dred and twelve policies was this
If the insured had received paid-up ;
policies instead of extended in
surance, the Company would have
had to pay in settlement of the
claims only. SOS, 1880

Of the above silver money the

ROYALTY ON PHOSPHATE.
Pledged to Make Good the State
Bonds.
News and Courier.
COLUMBIA, S. c., September g.
81 won't to.do it" That is the way
Governor Tillman expresses him
self, and usually when he says such
things he means it. He means that
he considers the State pledged to
raised $4,000 a year from phos-
phate royalty to ward a sinking
fund for the new issue of State
banks, and that he will not consent
to any arrangement by which such
revenue will not be raised.
It would not, thinks, be keep
ing faith with the bondholders. He
would rather let the fields lie idle,
and if such occurs there will be no
violation of contract or any bad
faith on the part of the State. This
morning, after stating what 1 un-
derstood to be the position of the
phosphate men, Governor Tillman
consented to give his views. He
said that he could not make any
contract and that all that he could
promise to do would be 10 try and
get the board of phosphate COM
missioners to pass a resolution re-
ducing the royalty to so cents per
ton, provided the amount so raised
amounted to $4,000.
This would be subject, of course
to the action of the Legislature and
it was his further idea that the
royalty should be made to operate
on sliding scale. If the price of
rock became better the royalty
should be proportionatety raised.
eff all of the miners stop work. we
cannot help it, and I suppose we.
will have to get some one else to
mine in the State property. I GER
tainly do not feel warranted in
helping these people to such an ex-
tent as to make The State break its
faith with its bondholders.
SUFFICIENT ROYALTY OR NOTHING.
"Before I'll see the rock bring a
ruinous royalty I'll consent to
let it lie there, and before I'll con-
sent to let 1t derive less than $751;
900 royalty I'll let it lie there.
The State will not then have
broken faith with anyone. | have
every disposition to help these, ,peo-
pie in their trouble. The State is
in a kind of cooperation with them
and it is to their interest to help
them.
THEY sHAN'T MINE ON THEIR OWN
TERMS.
81 have no desire to drive them
out of business, but l IN afraid they
think that we are SO poor that we
are compelled to let them mine at
their own terms; but we have not
got there.
Ny idea was thatwe get an account
of.h. amount Of damages sustain
ed and then by a reduction of roy
ally let them get that back. There
is now about 10000 tons of rock
on and,which would get the bene-
fit of any reduction of royalty if
we make one."
One thing is certain, Governor
Tillman is going to stick to. his
idea that the phosphate companies
will have to raise the $4,000 even
if they have to.pay the present 800
royalty, that is if $4,000 tons are
mined: :Ifi5o,oo0 tons are according
to his plan. The State can make
no agreement which would look to
a smaller revenue and still keep
faith.
The phosphate :men look at
things differently. They want some
thing definite. They want a fifty
cent royalty for term of years,
They do not want any sliding
scale" in theirs. They do not want
to run the chances making up
any deficiency by the retirement
of any company and in the end paw
