seemed to take new courage, finding
but one of his assailants, and for a
time fought desperately. OF a. sudden
he stopped facing the Indian. With
his front feet far apart he appeared to
rest, perhaps to collect his fast failing.
strength. He was an object now to eX-
cite ones pity, and although it may
seem un-Christian L almost wished he
would win, for in those days there
were nearly as many Indians as buffa-
loes, and they were infinitely more
dangerous.
AN arrow had destroyed one of the
bull 8 eyes, blood was running from his
mouth and nostrils and trickling from
a score of wounds along his spine. His
life blood was ebbing away, and now,
seeing his tormentor standing before
him, he made a last desperate effort to
reach him. With a mighty roar the
bleeding brute bounded forward and it
seemed to us that he had regained all
his lost strength, for he went with the
speed and force of an express train.
The daring Sioux drew another arrow
and let it drive into the buffalo, made
a feint of lodging to the right, and
then leaping far to the left, let fly an
other arrow as the baffied bull went by.
The buffalo was by this time ac-
quainted with the Sioux's tricks, and
the moment he passed the Indian,
whirled and came back at his adver-
sary with renewed vigor. The Sioux,
surprised perhaps by the suddenness
of the charge, leaped back, stumbled
and nearly fell backwards over the
body of his dead horse Before ne
could regain his feet the animal was
upon him. 1t seemed that in another
moment the Indian would be tossed
high in the air, but the new lease of
life the bull had was out and in that
moment in which we had looked to see
him triumph, the great beast stumbled
and fell in a heap at the SiouX's feet"

CEIvE A CABLEGRAM.

= Thomas A. Edison, who in his time
has been one of the fastest telegraph
ers in the world, admits that he is
totally unable to receive a cable mes
sage from across the Atlantic ocean.
while the ordinary Morse land dis
patch is represented by makes and
breaks of the current" he said recent
~, the cable message is represented
by a waving line. This line runs up
and down unequally 1t is the length
or value Of the curves that enables
the operator 10 detect the message. I
have often watched the operators at
work and think it is wonderful that
they are able TO select the message at
all. The line as it runs up and down
is crossed and re-crossed by other lines
coming from earth currents and the
thousand and one sources from which a
stray current gets in. 1t is simply i'm
possible for me TO pick out the real
message. Yet those fellows do it every
time and with comparative ease"
1T DIFFERS FROM ORDINARY
TELEGRAPHY.
Now, not only is this complimentary
to the skill oe the cable operators, but

changes constantly and the current
travels in either direction, backward or
forward, at the Will of the operator
This is reduced to a practical basis in
an ingenious manner.
On the receivers desk in the cable
station will be found a large double
magnet. Suspended between the poles
of this magnet is a. small elongated
coil of wire This coil hangs suspended
in the air by means of a delicate fibrous
thread The current from the cable
is made to pass around the coil. which,
as it is hanging between the poles of
the magnet, will turn backward or
forward in response to the particular
key depressed by the operator at the
other end of the line; for it is the Pc
culiarity of an electrical coil of wire
to so ac- when suspended between
magnetic poles. Connected to one end
of the coil of wire is another thread of
fibrous material This thread runs to a
fine glass tupe, which is not larger than
one-hundredth of an inch in diameter.
Ink flows through this small tube. AS
the tube is movable it is obvious that
the action of the coil of wire moving
backward and forward will also cause
the ink tube to move backward and
forward At least the coil pulls the
tube in one direction and small spring
returns 1t TO It's place. Ihe end OF the
tube rests lightly on a long strip of
paper, which is kept moving along con-
stantly by an ordinary clockwork me
chanism. Thus it will be seen that the
depression of the transmitting keys re-
suits in a waving line on paper at the
other end of the cable system.
The ink tube or siphon is so small
that great difficulty is experienced in
inducing the ink to flow from it. The
desired object is finally gained by
means of electricity. A static current
is sent through the ink in the tube and
is made to pass through the strip of
paper to the negative pole of the bat
terry beneath. Static electricity, as it

tricity of the electric current when it is
acting under long distances Of water.
Electricity invariably seeks to escape
from its conductors to the earth. Mother
earth will, in fact, absorb it all if given
the chance. The cable is, therefore, in
sulated, but this desire to return to
earth is stronger than the resisting
power of the insulation; therefore, while
the latter holds the current partially
intact, the gutta percha or other cover
ing of cable is filled with innumerable
stray lateral currents all seeking to
escape to the surrounding water. With
such state of affairs it would be simp-
ly impossible to aperate a succession Of
makes and breaks in the current; the
residual currents would, in short fill
up the gaps. The difficulty is overcome
by operating two keys on the sounder
instead of one, as in ordinary tele-
graphy. One key is attached to the posi-
tive pole of the battery; the other key
is attached to the negative pole. Thus
by depressing either key an impulse is
created in different directions over the
line AS a short cut to brevity it may
be said that the polarity of the current

all. the most wonderful institution in

method of It's operation is totally dlf-
ferent from that of the land telegraph
office. The quantities are less exact; a
greater mental force is required OF the
operator Moreover, the mechanism OF
the system is more picturesque. There
is more human interest in transmitting
cha rcters 5000 miles under the sea
and eventually setting them down in
black and white, than there is in click
ing a series OF dots and dasheS over q
land wire For this is what cabling
across the ocean amounts to. When
the operator in the New York cable
station, gives an impulse to his key, he
knows that he is practically writing
with an elongated pen which reaches
out undisturbed through miles Of alter
nate tempest and calm and sets down
on a strip Of paper letters and words
which have all the peculiarities of his
own chirography. Nor is this at all
overdrawn Operators at each end Of
the line recognize each other by the
characteristic shapes Of the curved
lines which they cause to be traced
on the long strips Of paper at the re-
ceiver's desk

CABLES OF THE WORLD.


No Atlantic cable runs directly to
New York city at the present time
Most of the transatlantic lines land in
the neighborhood of Nova Scotia or
Newfoundland. The messages are re-
transmitted by a coast line cable to the
metropolis. The interval of time re-
CURED in the re-transmission is not one
second, for the operators read the mes
sageS letter by letter as they arrive
and send them over the coast cables
instantly. Thu new French cable to
be laid next year will, however, have
its terminus directly in New York city.
1t is expected that the competition thus
engendered will greatly enhance the
general service. The coming congress
sional agitation over the installation
of a Pacific cable will also revive inter
est in scheme which must quicken
the general process of civilization. The
japanese commercial awakening will
certainly receive a further impetus
when this cable is laid. The whole
east, in fact, will be benefited and in
cidentally our foreign commerce will
receive distinct boom in the very di
rection where it needs it badly. There
are already over 1000 cables lying I'M
der the sea and the various water
courses of the world. They aggre-
gate over one and one-quarter millions
of miles of cable line. A large fleet of
steamers and an army of men are kept
busy laying and repairing them, so that
altogether the cable industry is u large
business in itself, even aside from the
messages which are sent over the
wires. THEODORE WATERS.

Special to The State.

DARLINGTON, July 23.-The largest
meeting of the campaign, barring Gun
niugham's pic nic in Chester, was held
at Oates Cross Roads, Is miles from
here, today. There were about 900
men and 200 ladies. Oates is 10 the
heart of the Reform section of Darling
ton, which probably accounts for the
meeting being held Is miles from the
court house. The candidates came
here from Bennettsville this morning
and took hacks for the meeting point.
Fortunately the road was exceptionally
good, and, while the candidates who
struggled in here this evening are fag.
ged out, 10 sunstrokes or other casual
ties are reported. There are inconven-
fences which mast be endured even in
securing an audience that is composed
of SO per cent. of 2eformers.
There we're no sensations to-day. 1t
was expected in Darlington this morn.
ing that Col. Dargan would make it
warm for General Earle at toe meeting
today, but the presence of Col. Oar
gan had an opposite effect from that in-
timated. 1T warmed the crowd to
General Earle when they would other
wise have been decidedly cool.
Mr.. Duncan made somewhat sensa-
tiooal statement about Governor Evans
friends having asked him to express his
connection with Rbind and his refusal
to do so. This Governor Evans de-
uounced as ga lie as black as he'll :"
Governor Evans declared his intention
of not again noticing Mr. Duncan.
At the request of County Chairman
J. Kirven, Rev John S. DuBose
prayed for peace at this meeting and
Divine blessing on all.
Adjusant General Watts opened the
ball. He related his connection With
the reorgauizsd militia, claiming to
having prepared the new militia Law
and had it passed by the legislature.
General Richbourg had something to
say about the Darlington war. He had
volunteered his services to protect Gov
ernor Tillman's life when it VIZ '1reat-
ened. He had refused to reslsI his
his Office Of brigadier general on the
day after the riot.
Jonh T. Duncan came here as man
to man: be knew this people we're here
to hear the truth. Senator Tillman
had written him letter complaining
that be should not have usei on the
stump what was said in private conver-
sation. But it had not been denied
that Tillman had said what be reported.
Duncan said Judge Earle had lost the
respect of Conservatives by his change
eff politics and the Reformers had paid
him enough There was not room for
man who took ueither side. The
line in State politics had been too clear
out. If Earle had cot run the lines
would have come together, but his can
d;dacy would again draw .he factions
apart.
AS to Evaus, he had told the truth
about and would continue 70 tell 1t from
day to day until the people understood
it, if it took till the end of the campaign.
