Treated Him Right.

DR.. Sampson Pope, the Experimentation
anti.dispensary candidate for Governor de-
sired to obstruct the work Of the Legislature
elected Governor, but was cheated out of it by
fraud In the election. He could get no mem.
ber Of the General Assembly to present his
claim, but asked the presiding officers to pre-
sent his paper. but as the law required mat
tiers receiving the attention of the Legislature
to be presented by member Of either House,
1t could not be considered.
The Legislature did exactly right In treat.
ing his appeal with the contempt it deserved.
The appeal could not have been made In good
faith, as we believe there Is not an Intelligent
man In this State, who believes DIR. Pope was
elected or could be elected Governor Of this
State.
The object of his kicking could have had nc
other object than to consume the time Of the
short session in discussing his alleged frauds
and thus cause injury to the State, or else 10
furnish the enemies OF the State an opportu.
nifty to blackguard the good name of the com.
monwealth, or at most they could only make
another effort TO restore the bar rooms to the
State.
No man at all familiar with the sentiment
of the people of South Carolina can believe
that DR.. Pope was elected, and no man of rea.
sonable intelligence ever thought he could be
elected. Running as an Independent in op-
position to the regular nominee against the
dispensary there was not the slightest chance
OF his election.
There may have been some frauds or irregu.
larities in some of the counties, but there is
no use to occupy time Id discussing
whether DR.. Pope was elected or not. We
presume the Courts are open TO punish frauds
in elections.

The Everlasting Arms.
T. l.. Cuyler, d. d.

One of the sweetest passages in the
Bible is this one: "Underneath are
the everlasting arms" 1t is not often
preached from, perhaps, because it is
felt to be so much richer and more
touching than anything we ministers
can say about it. But what vivid
idea it gives of the divine support
The first idea of infancy is of resting
i'm arms which maternal love never al
lows to become weary. Sick room eX-
periences confirm the impression when
we have seen a feeble mother or sister
lifted from the bed of pain by the
stronger ones of the household. In
the case of our heavenly Father, the
arms are felt, but not seen. The in
visible support comes to the soul in its
hours of weakness and trouble for
God knoweth our feebleness, he re-
members that we are but dust.

Let our people attend the show and see for
themselve the difference In pure bred poul-

fowl only lays about 80 to 40 eggs during the

lay from 100 u 240 eggs during the same time:
If only pure bred male Is used In the YARD

A man with a high temper, says a
writer, if it is uncomfortable, has no
business with cow. The man who
mercilessly kicks cow cannot possibly
succeed, for his rough treatment will
more than offset all he builds up by
extra feeding. If he would be content
to kick the side of the barn, or even
himself, it would be more sensible and
his end would be gained just as we'll.
The love of silver is still making
many man belray his Lord.

The New County Movement.

While the peoplear giving the matter very
little thought, tor the simple reason that they
see very little reason to urge the formation of
new counties, yet the project is being pushed
with great energy.
As far as we can learn, all the new counties
will be defeated at this session. Senator Nc
Gala is standing up squarely and fairly for
the old county, and he will be faithful 10 the
best interests of all the people. The move
ment having been defeated under Senator

Thanksgiving Day.

Very little of special interest occurred in
Abbeville on that day. The stores were all
closed, and but few persons came to town.
The public square had very much OF a Sum-
day look. Religious services were held in the
Presbyterian and the Episcopal churches
Many good turkey dinners were eaten. Moth.
ing happened to mar the quietude OF the day.

What Are We 10 DO ?

The crops in many instances have been
sold, and great numbers of people have little
or no provisions on hand with which to live
on or TO feed stock. For the poor the outlook
was never as gloomy. Even those who can
get liens will find 1t hard to exist until next
March.

sensational developments. was filed heae
to-day. A young woman, known until
recently as Miss Mary Ethel Mitchell of
San Francisco, began suit against Colonel
and Mrs. Lafayette L. Moulton OF Colusa
County, claiming $4,000 damages. Col
onel Moulton is wealthy landowner of
Colusa County, and is wellknown
throughout the State. The Moultons have
their summer home at Menlo Park. The
former Miss Mitchell now claims the
right to be known as Mrs. Moulton, and
in proof of her claim holds marriage con-
tract entered into at Colusa in January
last with Levi Everett Moulton, the nine
teeu-y year-old son of Colonel and Mrs.
Moulton. In effect, young Mrs. Moulton
charges that the affections of her youth
full husband. who, by the way, is two
years her junior, have been alienated
from her by his parents. She alleges
that their honeymoon was brought to an
abrupt end through the Vaccinations of
her husbands parents, and that he has
since deserted her and refused to pro-
vide for her, hence her suit for damages.
The announcement of the contract mar
riage caused a lively scandal in Colusa
last January. the young couple lived
together but few weeks.

A Japanese Trading Bark Captured by

LONDON. Aug. IA dispatch from
Tien-Tsin says Chinese cruiser has
captured a Japanese trading bark and
taken her to Taku. All pilots have been
warned not to guide japanese vessels, or
to give them any information as to the
waters of the coast.
A copy of Japanese edict is issued
that the declaration of war has been re-
ceived by the Central News correspond
ent in Shanghai. 1t says the local au-
thorities Will be held responsible for the
lives and property of the Chinese SUBJ
jects remaining in the several districts.
The Russian officials in Shanghai say
Russian trade suffers too severely from
the war to interfere. Russia's move
ments are watched very closely by Ja-
pan, because of the report of Russian
Chinese entente.
The weather on the China Sea is so
rough all the latter's vessels have been
driven to shelter. The Japanese cruisers
are supposed to be concentrated at Che
mulpo.
An extraordinary Gazette has been is
sued containing a proclamation by the
Queen of Great Britain's neutrality in the
war between China and Japan. There is
also published in the Gazette letter from
the Earl of Kimb berly to the Lords of the
Admiralty, setting forth the rules to be
observed at the various British ports and
harbors. A belligerent man-of-war must
leave British waters within twenty-four
hours after its arrival there, unless the
weather or necessity of taking on coal or
provision prevents. In the event of a
Chinese or Japanese vessel being in q
British port together, an interval of
twenty-four hours must elapse between
the departure of the two vessels.

ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP A TRAIN.
CLEVELAND (OD, Aug An attempt
was made last night to hold up the Lake
Shore Express train at Kessler, Ind, at
the identical spot the same train was held
up last fall. The train was approaching
split switch when the engineer noticed
the switch turned so as to run the train
on side track, where ties were piled.
The engineer put on all steam and dashed
through the pile, passing safely on to the
main track through the split switch, at
high rate of speed. Masked men fired
several shots at the train, none of which,
however, took effect. The United States
express car carried large amount Of
money. II is thought this was known to
the desperadoes.
PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL.
CHICAGO, Aug. An attempt to
wreck a Panhandle passenger train was
partially successful last night, when an
east bound train was crossing the tracks
near Diller street. 1t was section of
taain 10, bound for Columbus and the
East. a baggage car and an express car
were derailed. The towerman at Diller
street states that an unknown man threw
a switch after the engine and mail car
had passed over it. The train of seven
coaches and one Pullman was going at a
rate of but about five miles an hour, but
the shock as the train came to stop was
sufficient to throw passengers from their
seats. The crash created commotion, and
there were cries of alarm and great con-
fusion, but no one was injured beyond
bruises.
The baggage and express cars, how
ever, were crushed together and badly

GENERAL GOOD FEELING.
Nearly All the Roslyn Miners Wish t
Return to Work.


Return to Work.
TACOMA, Aug. IA special to the
Ledger from Roslyn says: A mass meet
ing of the late miners and drivers of the
Northern Pacific Coal Company was held
Monday afternoon, and after thorough
consideration of the situation they de-
cided by almost unanimous vote to 60 to
work. A committee waited upon the
management, and was informed that all
of the men, with the exception of about
fourteen, would be given an opportunity
to sign the contract, and could be given
work. The report was favorably received,
and the office was open until late at night
to give the men an opportunity to sign.
Wednesday morning the works will start
with almost a full force, and assurances
are given that the mines will operate, if
only five days week. A general good
feeling prevails over the turn of affairs,
and an impression has been formed on
substantial reasons that in the future
Roslyn will be better camp than at any
time in the past. 1t is understood here
that Governor McGraw went to Roslyn
to-day and had conference with the
miners, it being his desire that work
should continue without any violation OF
the peace.

IMPoRTANT DECISION.
Relating to the Selling of Liquor
Indians.

Relating to the Selling OF Liquor to
Indians.
PORTLAND, Aug. Judge Sellinger
this morning rendered an important de-
cision in the cases of Thomas Hawks and
Edward Kline, charged with selling
liquor to Indians. He decided that the
allotment of lands in severalty to Indians
had the effect of removing them from un-
der the charge of Indian agents and gave
them the standing of American citizens.
As such the United States laws governing
Indian wards Of the Government do not
apply TO them, and the selling of liquor
to an Indian who is not in charge of a
United States Indian Agent is not pun
ishable under the United States statutes.
The decision has as precedent the opin-
ion of Judge Hanford. delivered in an In
dian case of another character III 1892, but
it is the first decision to this effect in
case directly in point.
