The Northern papers have been dis
cussing the effects Of the determination
of Archbishop Corrigan, of New York.
to enforce the anti.selliug liquor decree.
The Wine and Spirit Gazette declares
that ..the strict enforcement of this de-
cree would be a severer blow to the
liquor trade than anything the prohibi-
tion cranks aud the cold-water fanatics
have accomplished withio the last forty
years " The New York Evening Post
mentions that a laymap, Mr. DALEY,

The Laurens and Greenville
Dispensers Arrested.

LAuRsNs. August sc B. Lang
ston dispenser, was arrested to-day
for violating the city ordinance for
bidding the sale Of liquor. He has
applied to Judge Watts at Spartan
burg for a writ Of prohibition prevent
ing the city authorities from interfer-
ing with him as dispenser. The
proceeding is to pat the city authori.
ties and the dispensary officers on
some certain legal status to prevent
unnecessary friction between them.
The matter will be heard morrow,
Mayor Simkins representing the city.
GREENv1lLE. August 2.-The dis
pensary war opened here this after.
noon just before s o'clock. Il was
reported to Mayor Williams that
John S Hill, State dispenser, was
openly offering whiskey for sale,
which is violation of the city ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale of liquor
within the incorporated limits of the
city This ordinance was adopted by
the city council when the State
Supreme Court declared the dispen:
sary law unconstitutional.
The warrant for the arrest of Mr..
Hill was placed in the hands of Chief
of Police Kennedy. The officer went
to the dispensary and foucd Mr.. Hill
and served the warrant. The ac-
cused at once gave bond to appear
before the mayor tomorrow morning,
Capt WSliams's dispensary book
keeper goiag on his bond. When it
was knowG that the arrest had taken
place interes. IN the campaign meet
ing subsidea, and the discussion at
once turned .oa the question of the
result of this action by the mayor.
Mr. Hill has eot indicated his line of
defence, but be will be represented
by strong legal authority.
Just what complication will result
from this arrest will depend upon the
part Governor TilIman will take.
The city ordinance is very explicit,
and was made to conform to the rul-
ing of the Supreme Court of the State
and has not been repealed, and the
mayor was guided eatirely in accord
auce with the action Of the council.
This action will probably bring the
question of the constitutionality of
the 1898 dispensary Iaw before the
Supreme Court.

Additional rumors about the sale of
the old South Carolina Railroad are
heard.
The report to the effect that the Louis
vile and Nashville and the Atlantic
Coast Line systems have purchased the
South Carolina and Georgia road are
daily repeated with additional positive
ness. The only. change in the wording
Of the statement, on the subject consists
in the additional prominence which the
Atlantic Coast ,Liue system is now al
ways given IN the deal.
When the talk was first started it was
always said aud assumed ebst the leading
purchasing party in the transaction
would be the Louisville and Nashville
system, and thas the Atlantic Coast Line.
while identified with the deal, would
merely occupy the position of side or
silent partner to the transacticn. Of late,
however, the preference given to the
name of the Atlantic Coast Line system
In this connection has increased wonder
fully, until in the rumors which are
now aaoat the positions of the purcbas-
ing systems are generally reversed. the
Atlantic Coat Line standing first and
the Louisville and Nashville following.
A we'll known gentleman Of Charles
ton is reported to have said yesterday
that he had positive information that the
sale Of the property had been perfected.
and that the transaction would be made
public at an early dste. Whether there
is anything really in the report or not
no QUE knows None of the railroad
men vbs ware seen on the subject know
anything regarding it, and most people
think it is merely another of the rumors
which ha~e been circulated 80 freely of
late.
The state Of affairs for the last month
has been one calculated to produce all
kinds Of ramors. During that period
it has been publicly known that deal
between the present owoers OF the South
Carolina and Georgia road, and the At
lantic Coast Line and Louisville aud
Nashville systems was undoubtedly un-
der consideration, and that the transfer
Of the foruer road to the two systems
named was among the possibilities Of the
near future. This much has once been
admitted by high authorities oa both
sides, and can no longer be questioned !;
but whether the matter has gone further
than this is another question. The
general impression prevails, however,
chat some definite step will be taken
before lonp-Angusta Chronicle.

Dear Sir;-"GOd helps those who
help themselves" A dozen bills
vitality effecting the rights OF the
non-citizen farmers of the :Chickasaw
Nation are being considered in Wash
ington. Everything indicates that
the present session Of congress will be
a turning point in the affairs of the
Indian Territory. Every n,erest ex-
cept one is alive to the situation and
active for protection, and that inter-
est the largest, and the one that may
receive the deepest wound. The nom
citizen farmer alone seems to shut his
eyes to tate ard await the morning
when legislative enactment shall have
taken the roof from. over his head.
He alone lays down to placid slumber
in the house b lit by his own labor,
supine and apathetic, and apparently
Indifferent that his inaction may
make him homeless. You ask my
opinion as to what the farmers should
do. l answer: let them do what all
men do who have greag interests to
protect. Let them be active and Wig
liant. Let every lodge of the U. S. C.
p. L. send It's delegates to common
meeting. Let the situation be con-
sidered and plan of action devised
and carried out. Congress will give
willing ear to the just demands OF
the "league". The appeal Of the man
who improved the land mas always
been powerful with the American
congress.
That appeal is that, while justice is
cone to others, injustice be no5 done
the farmer. What specific demand
should be made will depend upon the
ultimate general scheme of Legislation
adopted If lands are sold the occu
pant under contract should have the
first right Of purchase with an allow

term. II the lands are allotted hC

value Of his unexpired term. For the

the full and adequate presentation O
all the facts TO congress. Yours truly

The yandal, with his barbarous
and active knife and pencil, who has
an insane longing to associate his
meaningless name with the great
places of nature and history, has not
so free q hand in the Yellowstone res
ervation as he enjoyed before the
park was guarded by the soldiers of
the United States army Ithas been
the custom of this creature to carve
his initials ON the front of the ter
races and to write his name in the
liquid left in the pools after geyser
has been playing. Years after the
writing in the water the name is
legible and the pencil marks are
fresh, so slowly do the geysers build
up their deposits.
The Upper Geyser basin is so miles
from Fort Yellowstone, at the Nam
moth Hot Springs. The telegraph
is the enemy of offenders the world
over, and if a tourist writes his
name in apool, he may be reasonably
certain that the fact will be tele-
graphed to the post through which
he must pass when his trip is done,
and there he is very likely to meet a
captain of cavalry, who will hand
him rubber and send him back so
miles under guard to erase his
name.-London Million.

has been a voluntary recluse, seeing
only one face in that time and as
much dead to the world as If his
body were indeed decayed- This

Pedro Guierrerres. at one time an
officer in the royal army of Spain,
but who for nearly half century
has been prey to the delusion that
he is a leper or about 10 become one.
His reason for this horrible fancy
is that when a young man of % he
went on visit to Honolulu and there
met lady whom he married and
whom he carried back to Madrid
with him. After several years of
happiness this lady was seized with
malady that was finally pro
nounced to be leprosy The shock
of this decision unhinged her mind
and in short while she died by her
own hands. Her husband, with this
double blow to bear. became mono
maniac on the subject that had de-
prived him of his beloved wife and
at last grew to believe that he, too,
was leprous
Resigning from the army, he sold
his estates in Spain. and coming to
Mexico purchased the place where he
now is. He has fitted up for him
srlit of apartments IN which he has
spent every hour of his life since.
His servant is only allowed to enter
one room at time, when the don
retires into another until the mans
work is done. Twice a month a
priest goes to confess him, but he
sits outside little inner window
through which he conyerEes with his
unseen patient.
This unfortunate man never even
walks in his garden, which is, how
ever, completely screened from view
by a fence s feet high, without a
crack between This exercise he re.
frains from, fearing that it will pro
long his life, which he bears only as
a heavy burden imposed by Provi-
dence. One relaxation besides music
he allows himself, and that is books
and newspapers. He is an accom-
plished linguist and subscribes to all
the leading journals and magazines
in the world, while he regularly en-
ploys an agent to find out and send
him all the books published that are
worth perusing. His will provides
that his servant, who was once with
him in the army. and through all
has served him faithfully, is to place
him, when he dies, in his coffin and
to allow no one to look upon him,
and that he is to be buried thus on
the estate. PHILADELPHIA Times.

The Atlantlc,s ned.

Proceeding westward from the
Irish coast the ocean bed deepens
very gradually. For the first 23o
miles the gradient is but six feet to
the mile; in the next 20 miles the fall
is over 9, 600 feet, and SO precipitous
is the descent that in many places
depths of 1,2O0 to 1,GOO fathoms are
encountered in very close proximity
to the 100 fathom line. With the
depth of 1900 to 1000 fathoms the
sea bed becomes slightly undulating
plain /, 200 miles wide. The greatest
depth in the Atlantic is 300 miles or
SO northward of the island of st.
Thomas, where soundings of 1875
fathoms were obtained, or nearly
four miles in depth. Nautical Maga-

The speaker described the beauty
of the country, the variety of its
products, the skill of the women in
making silks, cotton and woolen
cloth, carpets and embroidery; their
dress, education and singular social
customs; the elaborate marriage cere-
monies, including some strange rites
derived from heather times; the po-
etc spirit of the people and their
wild legends. Armenia is full of
folklore; the woods, mountains and
lakes are peopled with spirits; even
the flowers have spirits. The women
are the custodians of the folk poetry.

is surrounded by dark curly hair.
Her eyebrows show the form of the
half moon, and the mouth is small
and pretty. She is also very rich,
