A New Industry.

The following taken from the Au.

gave employment to many others.
The ways of making money seems to
be almost limitless if any one only

thing new, for novelty is what at

for this strange occupation was con-

thought dawned upon her that wax

to the delight of the little owners, and

orders began to pour into the little
shop, for what child does not love an
old doll, no matter how battered and
tattered it is. Even with the rag doll
no other could hold its place in the
affection OF the child. Others might
come beautiful and gorgeous in face
and dress, but she even would not fill
that vacancy which the old doll has
held. Crowds of children found hap

day they would 60 in troops to the

The Gold Reserve.

The gold reserve in the Treasury has
now reached the big figure Of Sl25,
100000, which has not been exceeded.
says the Pittsburg Post, for any length
of time since December, 1891. It was
nearly S126,OO0,000 ct the end Of
March, 1892, but, excepting at that
time, it ranged from Sl24, 900, 900 to
s11O, 100000 during the year 1892, and
by the end of Harrison's administra-
ton had fallen to s103, 900, 600. With
drawals of gold for export are still
made, and it is reported that Treasury
officials would not be surprised if the
reserve should fall below the $780,
100000 mark before tae final payment
on the new bonds on the 18th of June.
It would not be surprising, indeed, if
most of the s20,000,0 900 still coming
should be paid in gold taken from the
Treasury. The totaL amount of gold
drawn from the Treasury since Janu-
ary 6, the date OF the last offer Of
bonds, is stated at s32, 400, 900. Of which
nearly S23,000,00 Or some II per
cent. was drawn for purposes other
than export. The presumption is that
the most of this latter SUN was with
drawn to be used IN paying for bonds.

WHITECAPS AT WORK.


COLUMBIA, S. c., March 10.-Late
Saturday night, near Killians, in this
county, party Of nine white men
visited the home OF Arch Wallace
and gave him severe whipping. His
back and legs were beaten into Jelly
and he was left for dead. Afterwards
MS log cabin was fred. Wallace. how
ever, crawled out through the flames
and oy some means, which he is un.
able now to tell, extinguished the fire.
and escaped. a corn crib near by
was totally destroyed. \ white wo
man, with her three children, VINO
was living with Wallace, fled to the
woods in their night clothes and re-
manned there most of the night.
Yesterday John Shehan, W NJ. Ab
bits, Charles Tawny, Hamp Tawny,
Richard Goings and George Goings, all
white, were arrested and carried before
Magistrate Sawyer on charge of as.
sault and battery of high and ag-
gravated nature Two others, who
were not named ia the Indictment
will be arrested for the same ofense.
The testimony was very conflicting.
Mr.. P. H. Thornton gave Register
reporter the following version OF the
affair:
Some time ago my sor, J W Thorn
ton. purchased an aye from John
Shehan. On Wednesday Shehan called
for the axe, claiming that it had never
been paid for. He said if this was
not done that he would 60 before
Magistrate Sawyer and get satisfac.
ton. A man came to Wallace and
asked him to help whip my son, but
ne refused to do this and reported it
TO j. w. Thronton.
This made the gang mad so they
went to Wallace's home and gave him
beating with rough wooden clubs.
The woman and children fed to the
woods where they remained during
the night
If this story is true the men who
did the whipping must have been a
depraved set. but there is another and
darker side to the story. Some claim
that Wallace was living in adultery
with the woman and he was punished
for this. Wallace is married man,
though he does not live with his wife
Wallace claims that his wife was too
mean so he got an Oklahoma divorce,
so to speak, and got another woman,
who had separated from her husband.
to come to his home and live. This
the woman did bringing her three
children with her. Wallace was liv-
ing in open adultery with the woman
and the crowd in that neighborhood
decided to have the nuisance stopped.
Wallace was brought to the city yes.
terday on a bed. His body is in a
terrible condition. On the left shoul-
der there isa place foot square which
is beaten blue, and other bruises are
to be seen all over his body.
The men who were indicted were
all released on a $500 bond each to
await trial at the March term of court.
The loss Of the corn crib will amount
to $50. The woman and children re-
turned to the house about midnight
where they remained, and had var
rant taken out yesterday.
The families in that neighborhood
have had much trouble of late, which
terminated in the whipping Saturday

Pianos for Winthrop.

In August last FIVE pianos from one
maker and one each from two other
makers we're purchased by the Win
throp Normal College Of Rock Hill, S.
c., as trial instruments. with the un.
derstanding that if satisfactory others
from the same makers were to be add
ed. Time and test does not seem to
prove them entirely satisfactory since
when eight more "pianos were needed
they were not chosen from either Of
the makes before taken on trial. This
time the selection was made from
purely musical standpoint by those
qualified to judge the actual merits Of
piano; and, as a result the MASON
AND HAMLIN and NATHUsEK were chos-
en- from some twenty-five competing
makers. We shall be pleased if those
who are thinking Of buying pianos
will write the music department Of

above all others. LUDDES & BATES,
