The Columbia Club Raided.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 17.-This af-
ternoon three State dispensary consta-
bles, Speed, Davis and Lafar, assisted
by two city police officers, armed with
search warrant issued by an admin
istration trial justice visited the rooms
of the Columbia Club, and going into
ali the private lock boxes, in which the
members keep their liquor for their
personal use, seized every bottle of it,
together with all the glasses, spoons,
bitters and other appliances in the
rooms. One of the members. Mr.. NJ.
G.. Robertson, who took a bottle of
fine whiskey that belonged to him and
poured it all over the floor in the pres
ence of the constables, was arrested,
but later released upon his avn recog-
nkance. The Club is one of the most
exclusive social organizations of gen
tlemen in the State and some of the
most prominent men in Columbia are
members. They have never allowed
drop of liquor to be sold on the
premises since the liquor law went
into effect, but adopted the lock box
system. Several declare their inten-
ton of bringing proceedings against
the raiders Immediately in the United
States Court for contempt for seizing
liquor intended for personal use
only, in violation of Judge ST.
monton's injunction. 4 curious
crowd blockaded the pavement
in front of the building to watch
the constables bring the liquor down
and put it in a dispensaey delivery

A Miserable Woman.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Aug. pa Morn
ing News special from Augusta says:
DR.. Joseph E. Allen was summoned
today by a negro to 60 to see his wife,
whom he said was bleeding to death
from childbirth. DR.. Allen found her
in miserable hovel in the outskirts
of the city. There was no furniture
and the rain was pouring through the
roof. The woman was lying on a pile
of straw. DR.. Allen at once sum-
moned an ambulance and sent her to
the negro hospital where she could be
made comfortable. When she was
carried there and the physicians. ex-
amined her, she was found to be a
white woman. In the meantime the
negro who had summoned the doctor
had disappeared. DR.. Allen describes
him as black ragamuffin without
shoes, and the woman when question
ed about being with him, declared
that he had put something in her food
and had conjured her so that she was
obliged to 60 with him. She says she
left her hush bauG and children and has
been with the negro about three
weeks. She lived on the Augusta
Southern Railroad, and gives her
name as Fannie Dixon. She is in
such critical condition that she could
not be removed to the white hospital.
The police have not as yet been able
to capture the negro.

beware of Emit Skins.

Fruit skins carry germs and are no
more intended for human sustenance
that patato skins, melon rinds or pea
pods. The bloom of the peach is a
Iuxuriant growth of microbes, that
of grape only less SO, and when these
skins are taken into the stomach they
find more favorable conditions for
their lively and rapid development,
which cause the decay Of the fruit be
fore it is possible to digest it. This is
the reason so many persons think they
cannot eat raw fruit. If they would
in all cases discard the skin they
could only derive good from the fruit
itself. Nature provides the skin for
the protection of the fruit from the
multitude of germs, which are ever
ready to attack it, as IS evidenced
when the skin is bruised or broken in
any way. The microbes at once begin
their work of decay, and the fruit is
uafit for food. Children are chief Of
tenders in respect Of this rule and
should be carefully watched and fre-
quently cautioned. \ daintiness as to
the condition of fruit should be cult
waited to prevent its being eaten unripe
or too old on the verge to decay. Re-
member that it is sweet and ripe fruit,
in prime condition only, that is re-
nded.-Philadelphia Times.

ADRlFT ON THE GULF.
Two Men Tossed About in a Sailboat for
Forty Days.

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA, Aug. 23.-
On July 10 John Trask and Edgar
Davidson left Apalachicola, Fla, in a
boat sixteen feet long for few days
fishing. From that time until yester-
day nothing was heard Of them and
they had been given up as lost. Yes
terday afternoon while Sam johnson,
negro fisherman, was about three
miles off this place in his skiff he
noticed a boat half a mile away form
which something white was huttering.
The negro rowed to the boat, and was
mortified to find two men in it lying
face downward and seemingly dead.
Johnson towed the boat to this place
as rapidly as possible, and physicians
were summoned. Examination showed
that the men were not dead, and after
several hours work they were resus-
citated. Trask and Davidson tell a
horrible story of their sufferings since
leaving Apalachicola on July 10. On
July Is they were caught by a storm
and their boat driven far out into the
Gulf. The mast was broken and they
had no compass and they drifted
hither and thither. Their stock OF pro.
visions and water was small, and
though they husbanded it carefully a
week ago the last parcel of bread and
drop of water was gone.
According 20 Trask, the suffering
affected Davidson's mind, and he
made several attempts to jump into
the gulf. Trask finally lashed his
companion to one of the seats of the
boat. Sharks, too, followed in the
wake of the castways, eyeing them
greedily. -Four days ago %rask lost
Consciousness, and he knew no more
until he was revived By the doctors.
Before Trask lost consciousness he
tied portion of a shirt to the broken
mast, and this attracted the negro S
attention. The men are in terrible
condition, physically, and Davidson S
mind seems still affected. Their flesh
has been almost cooked by the sun,
and their eyes ready to burst from the
sockets.
Davidson arm the doctors found
the imprint of teeth, and they think
that while the man was dying of
thirst he tried to assuage it by suck
ing his blood. Similar imprints were
found on Trasks arms, but he says
he does not remember biting himself,
though he thinks it likely, as he ad-
mits his terrible thirst crazed him.
The men are nothing but skin and
bones, but with proper care they will
recover. At present they are too weak
to lift their arms. Trask is said to
be from New York, while Davidson is
native of Ohio.

Lightning Plays Havoc.

The Rowesville correspondent of
the News and Courier. under date o.
August %, says: During one of the
hardest transforms known for years
in this section yesterday afternoon
the beautiful and commodious two
story dwelling of Mr.. W. ?. Dukes
was struck by lightning and seriously
damaged. Striking the top Of the
chimney on the north side the electric
fluid apparently glanced Oft to the
shed, tearing large hole in it, and
then dividing into three parts struck
three corners, north, south and east,
tearing Off the weather boarding, and
making almost kindllng wood of the
three corner posts Fortunately no
one was hurt. and from all accounts it
is certainly a miracle. One of Mr..
Dukes daughters was up in the second
story in the act Of turning one of
the blinds to look out, and only about
two feet from the east corner when
the flash came, and which tore this
Garner to atoms, throwing large pieces
of this post as far as the railroad,
about one hundred feet or more dis
tant. \ negro girl in the room below
and in about the same positiad as Miss
Dukes, had plate knocked out of her
hands, while She sustained no injury.
The south end Immediately caught
fire. which Mrs. Dukes with com
menkable courage kept down until
some neighbors came to the rescue.
One of the strar gest things is the ap-
pearance Of the house, as if small balls
of hot iron had touched it. These
spots vary in size from the size of a
dime to half dollar. The house IS
literally struck all over, and how any
one escaped will always be a mys-
terry.

A Word About Bows,

Treat your boys as though they were
of some Importance fyou would have
them manly and self-reliant.
If you would have your boy make
you his confdant, take an active in
terest in all that he does. Don't be
too critical, but ask for his views and
opinions at all times.
Don't keep your boys in ignorance
of things they should know. 1t is
not the wholesome truth, the un-
| wholesome way in which it is ac-
qui led, that ruins many a young
man.
Don't act as if you thought your
boy amounted to nothing, nor be con-
tinually making comparisons between
him and some neighbor's son, to his
disadvantage; nothing will dishearten
him quicker.
Don't think that ANYTHING is good
enough for the boys, and that they
don't care for nice things. Have
their rooms fitted upas nicely as posi-
BILE. Let them understand that their
rooms are to be kept in order, and the
results will justify your pains.
Furnish your boy with good, whole.
some reading matter. Have him read
to you and with you. Discuss with
him what you read, and draw out his
opinions and thoughts upon the sub
jects. Help him to think early for
himself.
Make home pleasant place; see to
it that the boys don't have to 60 some
where else to secure proper freedom
and congenial companionship. Take
time and pains to make them feel COM
Portable and contented, and they will
not want to spend their evenings away
from home
Pick your sons associates. See to it
that he has no friends that you do not
know about. Take an interest in all
his troubles and pleasures, and have
him feel perfectly free to invite his
friends to the house. Take little
pains to make him and his friends COM
Portable and happy in his own home.
He will not be slow to appreciate
you kindness.

ROPES FOR SIX.
How Lynching Party at Walterboro
Was Fooled.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 24.-There
are six happy negroes in Columbia to-
day if no more, although all of them
are in the penitentiary. In fact they
are so glad they are living that they
can hardly contain themselves. These
men were brought here yesterday
from WATERFORD to escape an angry
mob which was bent on stringing the
whole outfit to so many trees, or so
many limbs of the same tree, as the
case might be. They and the officers
who brought them here had a long ex-
citing and dangerous run through
swamps and woods and had to row
several miles down.a river before they
were safe from the infuriated crowd.
Over a year ago in Colleton County
a negro named w. G.. Mimms, brutal
ly murdereda white man named Mix
son. He was convicted but got new
trial The second trial was to have.
come up this summer, but owing to
the death of his attorney the hearing
was postponed until fall. Several
weeks ago white man named Meares
in Hampton County was wantonly
and malicously butchered for the pur-
pose of robbery. Five negroes were
arrested on the charge. their names
beng William Blake, William Frazer,
Cato Graves. Prince Graves, and Will
liam Dix, Jr. The murder caused in
tense excitement among the people
and for reasons of safety all the pri-
sonerS were taken to the Walterboro
Jail.
On Thursday it became rumored
about the town thata mob was COM
ing in that night to lynch the sex
tette. Later in the afternoon a number
of men did come into town and they
| were rightly considered to be the ad-
| vanced guard of more to follow later
on. The sheriff wishing to prevent
lynching determined to spirit the men
away. He accordingly deputized
Deputy Sheriff Black and L. B. War
ren, D. P. Patterson, Jr.. L. W. Riv-
ers, j. NJ. Patterson and T. L. Glover
to carry the negroes away to place
of safety. They took them out atnight
| and started for the swamp. The crowd
in town crowd in town caught on to
the manoeuvre and started in pursuit.
The duties with their prisoners after
a slow journey through the swamp
reached the Ashepo River and secur-
ing boat they all got in and began
to pull down stream. The negro pri-
soners handled the oars and the depu-
ties say that never did pull oars stron-
ger or boat row swifter than did this
one.
The pursuing crowd evidently lost
the trail after the fleeing party got
the boat, and the deputies finally Land
ed safely at the railroad bridge across
the river several miles from where
they started. The Charleston and
Savannah fast mail was due soon after
| their arrival at the bridge, and taking
the bridge keepers lantern, the de-
puties waved the train down, boarded
it and brought the prisoners to Char
lesion. From there they were brought
TO Columbia yesterday morning and
by Gov. Evans orders were put in the
penitentiary for safe keeping. It was
an exciting race for the deputies and
hours of agonizing suspense for the
prisoners, and no wonder that they
are the happiest negroes in South
Carolina today.-Columbia Register.
