CLEVELAND'S SICKNESS.
His Physician Advises Him to Keep
Quiet a Few Days.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Presidcnt
Cleveland has suffered more or less
from dysentery during the past three
weeks, and the excessively hot weather
that has prevailed during the past
two days has aggravated his trouble,
so that to-day, by the advice of Surgeon
r. M. O'Rielly, of the army, who has
been in attendance, the President de-
MED himself to all visitors, except the
members of his cabinet, who held their
regular bi-weekly meeting in his office
from III to o'clock.
Mr.. Cleveland expected to go down
the river on Friday afternoon for
another cruise On q lighthouse tender
with Captain Robley Evans. The
doctor advised him not to go until the
since that time, though the Presi-
dents health has grown no worse, the
prevailing high temperature has been
very debilitating and the doctor has now
insisted upon the temporary abandon
ment of the enormous amount of
tedious detail work with which Mr..
Cleveland is always busted, and until
he is perfectly well, the patient, under
the doctors orders, must deny himself
to the numerous visitors who absorb a
large part of his time. Unless the
President Is much improved in the
next few days, it is very likely that he
will go away from Washington on q
brief visit to Gray Gables in order to
recuperate, and it is thought in such
an event that he will make use of the
dispatch boat Dolphin, which now lies
at the navy yard ready to sail at a few
hours notice.
WASHINGTON, 14.-By advice of his
physicians, President Cleveland has
about decided to take short outing
down the Chesapeake Bay. The at
tack of summer complaint that has
kept Mr.. Cleveland closely confined
to his rooms during the the last few
days has yielded to treatment. and
with the exception OF slight weakness
he is quite himself again. His physi-
clans, however, thought that four or
five days trip down to salt water
would entirely restore his usual vigor,
and so today the President consulted
with Captain Evans of the light house
board, who will accompany him, as to
the availability of q trip on the light.
house tenders. 1t has not yet been
definitely decided as to when they will
leave here but decision Will be
reached tonight.

a TRIBUTE FROM THE NORTH.
The Wonderful Growth and Progress
Ofthe South as Depicted by a New
England Senator


orthe South as Depicted by New
England Senator.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 14.-In
the portion of his speech devoted to
the schedule of cotton manufactures,
Senator Chandler said If the bill be-
comes law, time will tell whether or
not the manufacture OF the highest
grade of cotton goods can survive the
reductions of duties made by the pend
ing bill. | shall wait the result, but
with many apprehensions. Any re-
duction in existing rates is unnGces-
sary and uncalled for by any sound
public consideration. There are many
reasons of wise public policy for the
manufacture of cotton cloths in the
Southern States. The South needs di-
versilied industries to promote that
growth to which her material resour-
ces entitle her to attain. The condi-
tion of that section at the close of the
war was indeed lamentable. All val
ues had been destroyed, and nearly all
tho property itself had been destroyed.
The agricultural lands necessarily re-
mained, but they were unfenced un-
fertile, uncultivated, and of little or no
money value. Few buildings were in
existence except dwelling houses, and
those were dilapidated. Horses and
cattle were scarce and tangible per-
sonal property had almost disappear
ed. The railroads were nearly all dis
tressed, with bridges gone, rails worn
out and ties rOtting, stock shabby and
insufficient. Millions Of slaves who
had been rated and valued as property,
had become free. Whatever values
there may have been in these slaves
and it was nominally vast amount
had been lost by their owners. The
banks and corporations had become in
solvent. The value of all the credits
which survived the war was insignifi-
cant. The paper money OF the whole
South was good for nothing, and OF
gold and silver tlrey had mono. Surely
never was brave race, after devas-
tating and unsuccessful war, which
brought myriads of the strongest and
most stalwart mon to bloody death, and
forced grief and dependency into
every household, lett in more pitiable
condition than were the people OF the
South at the close OF the war OF the re-
| bellion in 1865.
But the erecuperation of the Southern
States during the twenty mine years
| since they found themselves in such u
sorrowful case has Oh the whole been
rapid. The growth Of the cotton and
its sale at the North and in Europe has
brought much money to that section.
The former slaves have labored intel
ligently and with assiduity and have
accumulated property for themselves
and their employers. In addition to
prosperous agriculture the vast mineral
resources are being developed. Above
all, manufacturing, which in 1851 was
inconsiderable has become an industry

MURDER IN HAMPTON COUNTY

MURDER IN HAMPTON COUNTY,
Capt. James Mixson, Of the "Steep
Bottom neighborhood, Hampton
County, was waylaid and shot to death
on Monday, 11th inst, while returning
home at night from his place of bust
ness. Caundry Minis, colored, has
been arrested under suspicion of being
the assassin. Minis denies knowing
anything about the shooting.
Capt. Mixson was one of Hampton's
best citizens. Industrious, hard work.
ing and universally esteemed, he had
no enemies. The theory is that he was
mistaken for some one else and re-
ceived the death wound intended for
another.
Minis, who is suspected OF having
done the decd, is one of rather
peculiar race of people who live in tho
river section OF this county, locally
known as 'old ISSUE" They are o
mixed race, and have never been
slaves. They are supposed to be de-
scendants OF Indians and negroes, but
nothing is definitely known to their
origin. Minis has always borne a good
reputation, and has been looked upon
as rather a thrifty man. There was
strong talk of lynehing when Minis
was first arrested, but he has been
lodged In Jail, and 1t 10 thought that the
law will be allowed to take its course.

Mr.. Henry II. Breeden, who shot and

when Mr.. Moore died. There was no

Newer, higher and better prosperit,
has come to the land once depressed
by the existence of slavery and all the
concomitant evils which surround it an(
follow in its course.
In this new South the development
Of the coal and iron industries is per
haps the most marvellous, but the
erection OF cotton mills giving profita
bic manufactures of cotton is striking
evidence of the many changes which
the war has brought to the Southern
country. During recent trip to Ashe
vile, n. c., passed through one sec
tion of that State which was nearly
| filled with cotton mills all in busy mo
tion.
Mr.. Chandler quoted from the bulle
! tin of the seyenyh census relating tC
cotton manufactures to show the
I wonderful growth Of the South, parti
cularly in Georgia, North Carolina
and South Carolina, in'the manufacture
of cotton in the decade from 1880 tc
1890. Relatively the growth in the
South was much greater than in any
other section of the country in capital
The total increase for the country was
much the largest part of the capital
only increased 55 per cent. The
Middle States, which stood next in
capital, increased II per cent. The
Western States advanced II per cont.
but the Southern States advanced 20!
per cent. New Hampshire increased
its capital only 81 per cent, while
Georgia increased hers ITO, North
Carolina 277, and South Carolina 301
In the number of operatives the in.
crease in New Hampshire was 1920
in Georgia 66.4, in North Carolina
161.50, and in South Carolina 900 per
cent.
The ratio of increase was even
greater in the South than elsewhere
in the items of amount of cotton used,
product, value of product por capita,
and total amount paid in wages. In
the item of average wages per capita
the increase in the South was less than
in any other section.
Comparing the statistics Of cotton
manufacturing in Manchester N. H.,
his own city, and Augusta, Ca, Mr..
Chandler showed that the percentage
of profit was much greater in Augusta
than in Manchester.
He then proceeded: In this con-
nection L will read q short extract
from the Washington Post of June II,
1894, credited to the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. 1t is as follows: Gail through
the dull seasons of the present finan-
cial depression the Southern cotton
mills have been running on full time
and yielding greater dividends than
those Of their Northern competitors.
The d. a. Thompkins company mill at
Charlotte which was mentioned as an
example in these columns few days
ago is so crowded with orders for its
fine numb that it has to run night
and day. The cotton mill is destined
to be the most powerful factor of South
ern prosperity in the future. When
VIC manufacture our leading staple
and sell the product of our mills to
home and foreign markets this will be
the richest region on the globe"
Tho Senators who represent States
wherein these prosperous manufac-
lures are situated should remem Der
that there are other sections where
-tha mills are silent, the workmen idle,
their families destitute and gloom and
sadness prevails. ..,..

A NIURDERoUs SHOT.
"A POpuIist Leader Knocks An OLD
Man Down and Kills His Son
ThrCatS OF 9IYnCh ing the SLAYER.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 12.-Peyton
G. Bowman, leader OF Kolbs Populite
campaign in Alabama and prominent
lawyer of this city, occupies u cell in
the city jail tonight charged with the
murder of Eugene Jetfries, the l7-year-
old son OF eX-Mayor Jeifries. The
tragedy occurred at 10 o'clock tonight
in the saloon of tho Florence Hotel.
Late this afternoon Bowman, who is
a great bulldoZer and buffer, was
drinking with some friends in the sa-
loon, when cx-Mayor Jeffries, who is
an old aud inotfensive man, entered.
Bowman was talking in loud tone OF
voice and, it is said, made an insulting
remark to Col. Jeffries, who replied by
saying that Bowman had had Con-
federato deserter for law partner.
The lie WAS passed, when Bowman
struck Col. Jeffries on the head, knock
them when Col. Jeffrics went his way.
Eugene Jeffries, son of Col. Jeffries,
mere STRIPPING, weighing not over 100
pounds, hearing of the difficulty start
cd out to find Bowman, intending to
have him apologize, so it is stated.
Bowman was still in the saloon drink
ing when the boy started to enter
through the folding doors. The min
ute he put his head inside Bowman
snatched out n pistol and shot the boy
through the neck, killing him in
stantly.
Bowman was arrested and hurried
off to the city Jail. Within few min
utes great crowd had assembled at
the scene and threats of lynching were
freely mado. Indignation is at fever
heat, but it is not thought that an at
tack will be made upon the jail.
An eye witness to tho shooting says
it was foul murder. and the people
seem to be of one accord in that opin-
ion. Bowman claims that tho boy was
armed but the statement is contra
dictcd.
Ono story is to the effect that John
Bowman, brother of the slayer, held
the boy while Bowman shot him, and
they assert also that the pistol. it will
be claimed the boy had, was onc now
in the hands of John Bowman.
Bowman has always been regarded as
q dangerous man. The effects of the
tragedy on the Kolb campaign will be
most disastrous, as Bowman is Kolbs
right-hand man.

The Colonel.

"The Colonel" will be presented
at the opera house tomorrow
matinee and night and Sunday
night. The play is an adaptation
from the German, full OF striking
ly ludicrous situations brought
about by one Hummer, jolly old
boy with a weakness for kissing
variety actresses. He endeavOrs
to hide his escapades from his wife
and more particularly his mother
in-law, Of whom he stands in NOR
tai dread. The character Of the
mother-in.l law may be Judged
from the fact that when her hus-
baud, Col. Gringlethorpe, departed
this life the widow determined to
keep his military title in the family
by assuming it herself. This strong
minded female, to add to the CRAWL
ty of the son-in-law's situation, has
son who is a rare specimen OF a
dude with a weakness for MASKING,
in which business he often runs up
against his brother-in-law, and be-
ing worsted, he satisfied his jea-
lous rage by turning states evil
dence against him to his sister and
mother. Mr.. Oscar p. Sisson, the
eccentric comedian, assumes the
part of Hummer, the son-in-law,
while the title role is played by

The Laces of Ireland.

The revival OF lace-making in
Ireland will, no doubt give Irish
point again the preference. Much
of the Irish point sold here is but
a coarse crochet-wOrk, and not to
be admired. The real pillow lace
of Ireland is fine, beautiful in
design and workmanship. This
is made by basting cards of vary
ling sizes in designs upon a stiff
linen. The rings are formed by
winding a cord about the finger
or a large needle, holding them
to ring form by stitch or two and
then basting them into place. Ali
cords are closely buttonholed with
fine linen thread, only used for
this purpose, and by catching the
designs together with slender
hard-twisted cords. Sometimes the
whole design is in close button
hole stitch, like old point, but
having more piquets.
