The rivalry now being deve-
loped between Chicago and New
York-one representing the
West and the other the East-as
to which shall hold the dominat-
ing position in the trade and ii
nancial interests of the South,
can be viewed by the people OF
this section with some degree OF
satisfaction. There was time
when the South had a hard fight
to enlist the interests of either
the East or the West in its bust
ness affairs, but that has now
passed. The whole country now
realizes that the South is to be
the theatre of the greatest active
ity and progress, and that its
development offers a rich field

Allen G. Thurman.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 8.-Last
Friday ex- Senator Allen @.
Thurman fell from sofa in his
library and suffered injury to his
left hip, which was very painful,
but his physician found no bones
broken and though he suffered
severely on Saturday he was
better on Sunday and it was ue-
lieved that his strong constitu
ton would enable him to stand
the shock Notwithstanding his
great age. On Tuesday he was
so much better that he wished to
so to the polls to vote, but at the
advice of his physician he did
not do SO. Wednesday he was
worse and yesterday he fell into
a stupor, from which it is alto
gether likely that he will not re-
cover His son, Allen w. Thur
man, said to-day at noon that
there was little ground to hope
that he may live luore than few
days, and his death may occur at
any time.

Greenville Reflector: Wed
nesday night J. M, Bass, a to-
bacco curer who boards at W. S.
Legget's on Dickerson avenue,
was robbed Of $42. Bass says
upon retiring he placed the
money under his pillow, and
during the night some one en-
tered the room through a win
dow and took it. Suspicion rests
upon another boarder at the same
house who has since disappeared
and who was noticed to be spend
ing money rather freely. -

old daughter of Mr.. Louis B.
Elks, Of Chicod township, beg
ged her father to give her a crop
Of tobacco to grow. He let her

days ago solo. her crop at the
warehouse. After deducting all
expenses for fertiIizing, grading
etc, she received $21.35. Little

Jimmie, releasing his hand and glancing
toward the gate. where he left Ellen and
her mother.
.''Of course not" said Mr.. Rose, "but /
will keep my word for all that"
In less than a quarter of an hour the
shafthouse is cleared of all who are not
necessarily employed there, and no one
else is allowed in or near the yard, as jim
ME finds to his sorrow when he comes out
of the blacksmith-shop to say good-by to
Ellen.
He cannot go to see'her, for everything is
ready. Perhaps it is batter as it is. She is
not his and never can be. If he loses his
life that will be the end of it; if not. he
will save Steve Clemow, whom she will
then marry. Ay, and that's the rub. If it
were anv one else it would be t, ial enough !:
but for his little Ellen, 80 blithe and gay,
to have all her life to live with such rough
and cross and unsociable a person as
Clemow-a man who will scarcely speak
to any in the English camp, d.whose
sole and chosen companions are "Greasers'
it is too bad
For. all that the chain-bearer has no
thought of withdrawing from his perilous
undertaking.
The manager and surveyor have gone to
take last look at the skipapparatus. And as
Don Sanchez is putting the rescue on the
chain bearer, Tregaskis on his way to work
gives Jimmie an infallible incarnation
against ghosts and such like bodies as
precaution in case he has any such en-
counter.
"The fool!' muttered Don Sanchez.
As he draws fast the last buckle Don
Sanchez whispers something to the chain
bearer.
''All ready, Jimmie?" asks Mr.. Rose.
AYE, aye, sir" he replies.
The good-bys are said, a last message is
whispered to Colonel Restor, if he should
never return, and Jimmie enters the skip
diving-bell, The signal to lower is given
and the skip begins to descend.
Those gathered around the mouth OF the
pit hurry to the engine-room.
He's passing the 200p' shouts Colonel
Bestor. who is in advance, as he comes in
sight of the dial indicator.

He Is Charged With Cruelty Beating
One of His Pupils.
T. B. White, principal of the Washington
street Grammar School. was arrested yes
terday on a charge of battery. Israel
Wilson, colored man who works in the
Nevada block, complained to Judge Joa-
chimsen that the schoolteacher had cruelty
beaten his children and asked for war
rant, which was issued.
Willie and James Wilson both attend
the Washington street Grammar School.
A white boy called Willie names and a
fight resulted. Principal White rushed in
and, according to the boy, knocked out one
of his teeth. The next day James had
quarrel with second white boy, and
Principal White and Assistant Mccarthy
interfered. James went home and told his
father, and the latter reported the matter
to Superintendent Moulder, but complains
that he got no satisfaction. 1t was then
that he swore out the warrant.
Principal White was booked at the Cali
fornia- street station, but gave 500 bail and
was released. He states emphatically that
he did not hurt the boys, but only chas-
tised them on the hands with a strap for
fighting in the schoolyard.

JDGED INSANE.

Strange fusion of a Young Woman
Recently From the East.
Julia Mooreland, a Lrepossessing and
ACCOMPLISHED girl of 20 years, only few
months from the East, was adjudged in
sane by the Commissioners of Insanity
yesterday and ordered sent to the Napa
Asylum. Miss Mooreland has developed
a strong penchant of late for writing and
mailing letters addressed to herself signed
by some imaginary man or woman, and
requesting an interview at certain time
and place. which was always clearly speci-
fed.
A strange phase in the delusion under
which the poor girl labored was the pune
tual keeping of all these appointments.
In meeting once arranged she seemed to
find the basis for sane and consistent
action, going good distance at times to
meet her imaginary correspondents. and
always at a time mentioned in the letter.
which was carefully entered in book. 1t
was not often that she got her dates mixed
up, but now and then she would get a
letter from herself asking for an interview
at a certain time on a certain day. When
reference to her book would show that this
particular time had been previously en-
gagged she would at once address a note to
the mythical sender asking a postpone
ment to such and such date, which she
would then enter in her book.
On all other subjects she is sane, giving
ample evidence of rather unusual intel
lectual attainments.
