Half Million Damage.

SPARTANBURG, s. c., Nov. 2l--Early
this morning, while Sells and Forepaugh's
circus was loading to 20 to their next ap-
pointment, an accident occurred by which
It Is claimed the circus was damaged q
half million dollars.
The circus cars were on the Southern
tracks on the edge Of the city, and the
sceun was the usual busy one to be wit
messed at the loading Of a huge circus
such as this one is.
a mile and half away a number OF
cars were standing on the steep incline
Of coal schultz. In some unaccountable
way one of these cars broke its coup
ling pin, and started down the steep
grade.
The force of descent must have been
very great tor it ran for fully mile and
q half, and before the circus people had
time to gather their wits together to de-
wise some plan Of protecting themselves,
the car had crashed into them.
Two circus cars were smashed and two
hippopotamus valued at S75, GOO each were
injured. The handsome Cleopatra car
was completely demolished and one OF
the larger elephants hurt.
The propretors of the show claim they
have been damaged to the extent of a
half million dollars, caused from actual
damages done and loss of time thus in.
Cured. Suit will at once be entered
against the Southern railway.
Had the circus people had time to have
protected themselves many expedients
for stopping wild cars could have been
adopted. Fortunately no persons were
ipjured.-Speciatto augusta Chronicle.

The First Woman Senator.

Martha Hughes Cannon is the first wo-
man who was ever elected to the State
Senate in America.
She lives in Salt Lake City, and she is
Mormon and Democrat. She ran against
her husband in the same district, and she
beat him for the State Senate of Utah by
the no little majority Of 1000. She be-
lieves in woman suffrage, she believes in
polygamy and she most heartily disbe-
lieveis in the prohibition of intoxicating
liquors.
She is called the fourth wife of Angus
M. Cannon. Mr.. Cannon is leading el-
der in the Mormon Church, and he stands
in the first order Of precedence for ap.
pointment as one of tus twelve apostles.
He has four wives living in neighborly
communion. None of the four, however,
has the least legal claim on the man
whose name she bears. When the United
States Government declared against pO-
lygamy the law gave every polygamist
the right to choose one woman for his Ie-
gal wife.
Mr.. Cannon is the somewhat we'll
known gentleman who married two sis
ters Mt one fell swoop, and who afterward
told the United States authorities that he
"would be switched'' if he would be un-
gallant enough to decide between enc of
the sisters and either of the other wives,
so there really is no legal Mrs. Angus
Cannon, although there are four lively
and interesting establishments, in each of
which woman presides who lays claim
to thu right of that title.
Martha Hughes Cannon, the new Sena-
tor, is doctor by profession. She lives
in neat little red brick house In new
little tree-set street. She has little girl
II years old and little boy years old.
She is between 30 and 35 years of age,
and she is very clear-skinned, slender,
trim little woman, we'll groomed and
fresh, with brown hair, plentifully sprin-
kled with gray, and a pair Of brilliant,
alert hazel eyes. She has little bits OF
thin hands and little bits of slim feet,
and she wears good clothes of quiet, un-
obtrusive kind.
She has clear voice and good, SER
viceable vocabulary and she is perfectly
free from self-consciousness of any sort.

the submission TO arbitration Of the Ven
ezuela boundary dispute involves full
recognition of the Monroe doctrine by
Great Britain, and consequently by the
rest of the world, and complies with ev-
cry demand made by this government.
The extent Of this diplomatic victory may
be com pretended best by remembering
that Venezuela has been trying to get
Great Britain to arbitrate the dispute for
more than fifty years, and now the other
party to the arbitration is not to be Vene-
zuela but the United States. Members Of
the diplomatic corps say the credit for the
victory is more largely due to Secretary
Olney than to President Cleveland. No
matter TO whom the credit is due, it is
matter for every patriotic American to
rejoice over. Beginning with Monroe
every President Of the United States has
asserted the right of this country to in
terfere to prevent the forcible acquisition
of territory on this continent by foreign
power, but never until now has that right
been recognized by an European power.

Barlow Carver, who travels the Town

hannon, enjoys the singular distinction of
having sat for picture. some years ago,
to bs presented to President Cev veland as
that of genuine untsmed specimen
of the gems moonshiner. Carver, who
was born July &C. 1861, and named for
Colonel Barlow, of Georgia, who fell on
the field Of Manassas five days before, was
in the clutches of the revenue raiders who,
in the dead of night, had pulled him out
of his still in the wilds near Tallulah Falls.
The Commissioner, before whom he was
carried at Gainesville, was 30 struck with
his appearance-big boots, big hat, long
hair and still begrImed face and clothes
that he asked him for picture for the
President. Carver has improved his ways
and his looks are mending.
II Is the opinion of observant persons
that the farmers are sowing more wheat
than they did last year. A desire to SOW
choice seed only has been manifest, and
rather more attention has been given to
fertilization than formerly. This kind of
refcrm-farm reform, that if followed out,
will lead to agricultural independence
will do the country more good than the
ascendancy of either gold bugs or bi met.

A Tribute.

Capt. Robert Junkin died at his quiet home in
Centreville township on the morning of the 9th
Oct, 1895, in the 72d year of his age of dropsy Of
the heart, and every old Confederate soldier and
especially the survivors Of Company "D," Orr's
Regiment Rifles, will pause and drop tear TO his
memory.
Survivors, the sun has again gone down and
should the roll of Company ID" be called our
would be issing' He has crossed over the river,
and Is now resting under the shade of the trees
with the Immortal Lee and Jackson" "Sleep on
brave com-ade"
Capt. Junkin was born in Antri County, ireland,
and In his childho d his parents came to America
and settled In Abbeville county. Later they moved
to this county where the deceased has ever since
resided
famous Palmetto Regiment, and was at the battles
of Cheurubusco, Chapultepec, tho storming Of
Garita de Bclden and the taking Of the city Of
Mexico. his name is now carved In letters OF
grounds at Columbia. He carried in his body to
the day Of his death ball he had received in the
charge at Garita de Belen, and he exhibited with
pride the silver medal which was ven him for
services in the war with Mexico.
At the breaking out Of the war between the
State, Robert Junkn was among the first to enlist
in Company 3D." Orr'd Regt. Rifles, and on the

I'd Sargeant Of Company "D," and in 1862 was

town and Ridley's Shop, Petersburg and Clay Farm.
"Well might we say that Capt. Junkin was the
Jasper Of Orr's Rifles
Survivors, our esteemed comrade and Captain
has fallen like the autumn leaves to enrich our
mother earth, thereby demonstrating to US the
uncertainty Of life and the certainty of death:
Capt Robt. Junkin died not in the spring time of
life hut after tho frost of almost four score years
had fallen upon his head.
Capt Junkln, like all other men, had his faults,
but a., soldier no braver drew a sword.
Survivors, we have followed him on tho field Of
battla when men were falling fast on ether side,
ard every few moments some brave comrate
yielded up his life for his country while he, by his
GOODNESS, would inspire US with new courage.
RESOLVED, That the survivors Of Company I'd"
tender to the family Of our deceased Captain the
assurance of deep and abiding sympathy in the
great loss.

WE have been so busy this season
that we have hardly found time to
write an advertisement unless we tres
passed upon the Sabbath, hut the 'ox
was not in the ditch, and this was
unnecessary as the people seemed to
know where to come to buy their goods
anyway.
In our 81 years active business ex-
perience we have never been in a posi-
tion to serve the people so we'll and
save them so much money on their
purchases as we are to-day, and were
never so much in earnest about doing
business as we are about now.
Notwithstanding our heavy sales to
parties near and far we are overloaded
on many lines of goods, as our New
York buyer seems to think he can't
load us too heavy when he can get
them at such ruinously low prices for
prompt cash, as he did during the
squally election times just past when
money in New York was worth 30 to
100 per cent. on call. This is the ad
vantage of always having a shrewd
representative in the Metropolis, but
it takes money to keep this kind Of a
thing rolling, and any who wishes to
select from stock of goods we'll bought
and that will not fall far short Of slOO-
900 in value can do so by calling around
at our store.
Many goods are on the advance:
This is the day of gigantic trusts and
consumers are compelled to pay tribute,
and the promise of the near future is
they are to be still more fostered and
encouraged. 1t seems the hide and
leather market has been again cor.
nered. So look out for high priced
Shoes. We are we'll ''heeled' and are
prepared to name prices on many new
desirable solid goods less than former
ly. For instance, we will sell you the
best mems homemade, q No. Kip,
Ca, or English Tie that we sold a
year ago for $3.50 now sl.OO. Mems
Genuine Calf, Dongola top, sold last
year $500, now S1.25. A solid Mems
Buff or veal calf at 95c. that formerly
sold for s1.25. Several lines Of ladies'
and children's goods are being sold in
the same proportion. We frankly
admit that throughout the store our
values are not uniform, i. e., in some
goods our purchases are more fortunate
