Result From Efforts 10 Enforce nm
nOxious Law.

A fight occurred at the Cheraw and
Darlington depot, Darlington, South
Carolina, in which four men were
killed, Chief Of Police Dargon was
shot in the side, and several citizens
were wounded. 1t seems that 18 of
the states constables were at the depot
for the purposes of leaving the city,
when fight occurred between two
men. A citizen and one Of the con-
stables got into analtercation about
this fight, and both drew weapons and
began to shoot. The citizens rushed
to the scene in large numbers. The
fight became general. The constables
fled TO the woods, leaving two Of their
number dead. $50 mounted men
were securing the woods for them at
the hour the dispatches were sent.
Three military companies at Columbia
have disbanded rather than obey the
Governors order to proceed to OAR
lington. One of the citizens killed,
Mr.. Norman, had gone to the depot
on business and was. in no way con.
nected with The riotous proceeding
Later: the constabes are said to be
surrounded in swamp and slaughter
is expected at day light. They are
armed with Winchesters and will
doubtless sell their lives dearly. All
this disorder and bloodshed grows out
of the enforcement of the dispensary
law.

The annual register of the War
Department shows that our country is
not in such state of military help
lessness as might be imagined from
the numerical strength of the regular
army, remarks the New York News. 1t
has often been intimated abroad, and
very truthfully, that the army of the
United States would hardly make a
complete picket line for one of the
great armies of Europe. But we have
national guard of more than a hun
dred thousand soldiers. This body,
in case OF need, would quickly form
the nucleus of an army that would
amaze Europe. The grand army of
the United States is made up of work
ers, not drones. Instead of sapping
industry for their maintenance, they
are daily adding to the wealth of the
country. Experience shows that they
could very quickly doff the habili-
ments Of peace and don the grim
equipments of war.

The Cosmopolitan Magazine offers
prize of $500 to any one who can,
within the present year, make sug-
gestion or perform an experiment that
will throw some light on the nature OF
gravitation. The Boston journal of
Commerce says of the offer: ''Here is
the chance for every mechanic to
take home with him piece of load
stone and go to work evenings and
study out how it can draw SO MANY
needles and pins to its surface without
having anything to draw with. Ii the
least hint can be obtained as to the
working of even a two-cent magnet

you can really work at it in your mind

It may be mentioned that the princi-

The battles of the future will be
fought by electricity, predicts the
New York Advertiser. A motor has
been devised to operate gatling gun
without requiring any labor on the
part OF the gunner beyond setting the
machine in motion. A whole battery
OF gatling guns, by the aid of the new
device, can be placed in front of the
enemy, the gunners can then retire
behind the breastworks, where they
press the button and the bullets do
the rest.

A wise and holy rule for our neigh
boris faults is this: To speak of them
to God, and forget them before men.
--Massillon.
We should rigidly train ourselves
to make the most we can of of every
chance in life that comes to us. But
when we have failed weshould not
spend moment in regret; for regret
is vain and useless, and only helps
to eat away the strength that re-
mains. We should turn instantly
and with resistless energy to the
saving Of what is left. There is al
ways another chance, even down to
the life's latest moment in ! the
world.--J. b. Miller.
The Rev. Joseph Cook, from the
convention platform, congratulated
the w. G. T. U. on its twenty-first
birthday, "because it is indisputably
triumphant over prejudice and pas
sion, times and numbers, and the
powers of the pit" and gave it as
watchword for the twentieth CEN
fury, "The liquor traffic must be
ended because it cannot be mended."
