Mr. Frank Moon Of Newberry K
Run for Governor.

Charleston, S. e., August IA
special to the News and Courier from
Newberry says: Because DR.. Samp-
son Pope has withdrawn from the
race for Governor is no reason why
Newberry is not to furnish a man for
that position. Mr. Frank Moon, a
sturdy farmer of this county and a
man who has never sought nor held
office, made pubic this afternoon that
he had made up his mind to enter the
race for Governor He had not deci-
ded until he saw that DR.. Pope had
withdrawn. Though he does not
propose to enter the primary, he is
going to make his fight at the general
election in November. He too, was
al one time Reformer, but proposes
to make this fight as protest against
ring rule and bossism He is in dead
earnest and will issue his manifesto
early next week and will stay in to
the finish if he only gets one vote:
He says he is built OF sticking stuff, .
and is a graduate of the South Caro-
lima College before the war.

a Strange Discovery In Africa.

A Strange discovery In africa.
Unlocked for things have been found
in unlikely places, but there has proba-
bly, been no discovery more remarkable
than that Of Balzac's dressing gown in
the possession Of the king of Dahomey.
Monarchs are rarely literary, and his
dusky majesty, one would think, was
the very last of them to have set much
value upon the personal relic Of novel
ist, however distinguished Nevertheless
the French found it in the royal apart
ment at Abomey. There were some in
genious theories founded upon this cir
cumstance One Of the amazons, it was
thought, might have been novel read

interesting memento, and on the affair
coming to the knowledge Of her sover-
eign had hastened to say she had pur-
chased it for his own shoulders, for in
deed he always wore it upon state occa-
sions. It was not dressing gown such
as literary persons in this country are
wont to wear of second class flannel
worr at the edges-but Of purple velvet
embroidered with gold AS matter Of
fact, it had been given to Balzac by
some Of his admirers, and after his
death had been bought by dealer in
curicsities, who had placed it, with 9th

market. It is sad to think how a plain
tale will ''put down'-that is, destroy

Those who know Cannes Will hear with
regret of the forest fire which has swept bare
the beautiful hill -sire which rises above the
California quarter. The whole of the ridge
up to and beyond the canal stands bare and
blackened, and no less than five miles of
forest have been reduced to ashes. 1t is a
very great pity, as tile forest was in many
ways the most beautiful thin at OanneS,-a
relief from the somewhat chocolate box
splendonrs Of the wider landscape. Even
though the villas had eaten terribly into the
woodland, the California quarter still yielded
very charming walks. The Cannes fire was.
however, nothing compared with the awful
devastation wrought in Algeria. There the
great forests have been burning for days.
