The lighthouse board gives notice that
the light on the post light beacon at the
end of Wingdam No. 10, Savannah river,
will not be lighted after the morning of
Monday, April &c. For many days the
United States snagboat was engaged in re-
moving that portion of the wingdam
between its outer end and its intersection
with the longitudinal training wall.
When this work is completed, there will
be no need for light at that particular
point, which is at present not in or near
the channel.

Progress In Surgery.

The tremendous strides being made
by modern surgery, it's manifold tri-
umphs in the face Of the great obsta-
cles, are wonderful, well-nigh miracu-
lous. The science of tracheotomy, by
means of which a person is enabled to
breathe artifcially through a rubber or
silver tube inserted in an aperature in
the trachea, is already old and com
monty practi:ed. Arms that can be
made to move at will, hands that clasp
almost naturally, legs that walk so
easily as to deceive the most acute OBJ
server-all these no longer startle the
world. More recently we have false
ears, by the aid of which the deaf may
hear. The very latest discovery, or
invention, in the field of surgery, is
false jaw that masticates as easily and
naturally as the real article. There
is one thing that will ever defy surgi-
cal science, however, and that is false
eye that sees-7roy Press. ...

South Carolina Tea.

1t has long been theory that the soil
in this part of the State was peculiarly
adapted to the production of teas, coffee
and spices, but until Prof. Shepard, the
pioneer of scientific tea farming in South
Carolina, put the theory to the actual test
the matter had been purely question Of
speculations.
Az the present moment, however,
there is no longer any room for doubt.
The attempt has been made to produce a
saleable article Of tea in the lower portion
of South Carolina. and the effort has been
crowned with a success which reflects the
greatest credit upon Prof. Shepard and
the other prime movers in this new in
dustry. There is at present for sale on
the Charleston market a great quantity Of
neatly gotten up packages Of green tea
from the tea farms in Summerville. It is
said that in favor the beverage made
from it resembles the celebrated Oolong,
and is equally as fragrant and grateful 10
the taste.
The tea is thought to be an excellent
article both as regards bouquet and
strength, and in price considerable cheap
or than the imported article. It should
also be borne in mind that naturally the
tea will improve as other seasons are ad-
ded to the age Of the plants.-News and

A Child's Terrible Death.

A little four-year-old white boy died
IN Columbia last night with all the
symptoms of that terrible disease, hy-
drophobia. DR.. Frank Green. was with
the child when death came to end his suf-
ferings, which, however were not of the
worst form.
It will be remembered that something
over q month ago the State published an
account of the attack on this little boy, a
son of Mr.. J. w. Roberts, who lives at
the fair grounds. by a mad dog, and told
how the little fellow was lacerated by
the brute. The dog escaped, but was later
killed.
AS time went on the little fellows
wounds healed up completely and his
parents never thought Of the matter any
more. Last week he had slight cold
but recovered from that entirely. Two
or three days ago he became affected in a
most peculiar manner and DR.. Green was
called to attend him. The physician
found lie had no fever nor any other
symptoms Of ordinary trouble Of any
kind. He was delirious soon after he
became i'll, and his rawlings were heart
rending during Wednesday and yester-
day. He frothed at the mouth and dis
played other symptoms Of hydrophobia,
though they were not so pronounced, the
attending physician says, as would have
beaHexpected. Perhaps this was due to
the tender age Of the child. When in
delirium he died. DR.. Green says 1t is
the most peculiar case that ever came
under his notice. otunabid State Jan. IL.

South Carolina Aormons.

GREENWOOD, Jan. 8.-Elder j. H.
Schvanaveldt, of the Mormon church,
passed throug ii here to-day on his way
to his home at Gentle Valley, Idaho.
He stated that he had just received
his "release" from Prophet Will
fred Woodruff, after laboring in South
Carolina for the past two years.
The Elder says that he is well
pleased with his work in South Caro-
lima, and that the cause of the 'faith-
full is progressing better than most
people suppose. 1t will be a surprise
to many to learn that Norman elders
have been at work in this State for
the past ten years, and, according to
Elder Schvanaveldt, there arefourteen
elders now within our borders and
ministering to the wants of some three
hundred converts. Most of the con-
verts are in Horny, Clarendon and
Sumter counties, with few in Berke-
ly, Charleston, Spartanburg and
Greenville counties. He says the
majority of the recruits to the Latter
Day Saints came from the Baptist
and Methodist churches, and of the
three hundred converts in South Car
olina only three are negroes. He re-
pudiated the idea that Mormonism
meant polygamy and asserted vehe-
mently that that it was neither preach
ed, practiced nor allowed by the Nor
mon church. He says that never
more than two per centum of the Nor
mons practiced polygamy and that in
1888 the Mormon church called upon
all it's members who had more than
one wife to choose one, and while it
required them to continue to support
all former wives, yet recognized con.
jugial relations only with one, and
since then has not allowed a member
to marry more than one.
He spoke in the highest terms OF
Prophet Wilfred Woodruff, and claim,
ed for him all the powers of the proph-
cts of old. He stated that Prophet
Woodruff had power to send him OF
any other elder to any part Of the
world to labor for the church, and an
elder always remained in his field un-
til released by the prophet. =.
Elder Schvanaveldt says that an
immense amount of misrepresentation
has been heaped upon them here, as
elsewhere, but that as soon as this
can be overcome the Latter Day
Saints will make great inroads in South
Carolina.

The st. Louis Republic in an editorial
under the caption "Is Cotton Still King?"
says Bradstreets statistics, giving the
total number Of unemployed working
men and those dependent upon them, in
the different sections Of the country,
reveal the interesting fact that the South
is suffering the least from the depression
Of hard times. While New England and
the Middle States show total of 450, 900
Idle and nearly million and quarter
dependent, the Central Western States
227, 900 unemployed and $4,000 depen-
dent, the Northwest $4,000 unemployed
and 175,O00 dependent, the entire South
shows but 43, 900 unemployed and 123, 900
dependent. On the population basis the
South makes an equally good showing.
Her percentage of the total ofunemployed
is less than per cent, while her percen-
tage of the total population Of the States
included In the comparison is much
larger. 1t is obvious that the Southern
States have escaped the worst of the
calamity which has befallen the entire
country. This fact is as significant as
the one that that section of the country in
which the mass of wealth has been con-
centrated under Republican legislation is
feeling the hardest effects of the prostra-
ton. Is cotton still king? The fact is
not clearly proved by the commercial
statistics, but it is evident that the land
in which King Cotton reigns is suffering
less from its unchanging loyalty than are
lands which have wandered after other
Gods.

Leasing Of COnVlcts.

Yesterday there was a regular meeting
of the board of directors of the State PEN
itentlary at the institution. The ses-
sion was a long one. Most of the
business was Of routine nature. All
the contracts for the lease Of convicts for
the present year were approved.
The leasing of convicts has assumed
greater proportions this year than has
been known before perhaps. There are
1,050 convicts now serving sentence. All
Of them have been leased out with the ex-
ception Of $50, who are kept within the
prison walls. Many ofthese are employ
ed in the hosiery mill under similar con-
tracts. The number quoted as being
leased out includes the squad which the
institution is required by law to keep at
Rock Hill for the purpose of working on
ihe normal college. The others are leas-
ed on farms in various sections Of the
State. Superintendent Neal requires
each lessee to erect a comfortable stock
ade. Each convict, before he leaves the
is supplied with several suits
of wool clothing and several pairs of

Why Crime Increases.

Judge Isaac Parker, of the United
States district court for Western Ar
kansas, lately made some startling
statements, and then followed them
with suggestive comments.
In charging the grand jury at the
opening of his court at Fort Smith,
he said that whereas the ascertained
number of murders in this country in
1889 was less than $500, and in 1890
but 4,300, and it was nearly 5000 in
1891. .
It is startling to learn that there
were twenty-five more supposed muir
derers lynched in 1889 than were exc
cuted according to law, and the excess
of lynched over executed murderers
was sixty-seven in 1890 but assuming
that only one person was concerned in
each murder, hardly one in twenty Of
those guilty of the crime in these two
years suffered the penalty of death,
either at the hands of the law or by
the violence of a mob.
Judge Parker gives several reasons
for the shocking state of affairs thus
revealed The indifference and incom-
petence of courts the general preva-
lence of perjury +; the use of corrupt
means-money, and social and other
infuences-to shield criminals the
sickly sentimentality that turns an
assassin into hero as soon as he is in
danger Of his life; and finally, the in
difference of the people at large.
This comment is substantially true.
The remedy: must come first. at the
fountain head. The people are the
source Of all power. If they so will
the evil can be stopped.
Society must protect itself, but the
first thing for society to do is to re-
cognize the danger it is in because it
does not protect itself. ., ~..~.
