South Carolina's Legislature.

Columbia. s. C., Jan. 20.--The house of representatives started out upon it's sec ond week today with a heavy days work. Many bills were ordered to a third reading. The feature Of the anti lynch bill providing for an extra term of court to be held immediately to try lynch CTS was stricken out, and the bill passed its second reading, simply enacting into statute law the provisions of the new constitution on the subject, which, if en- forced, will soon put a stop to lynchings. The senate did not meet until tonight. Most of it's work has likewise been of a routine character. The legislative com mittee charged with the investigation of the charges of "incipient rottennessa at the state penitentiary," which charges were made by Director Willoughby against Superintendent Neal, began its work to- day. It Is confronted at the outset with other and more serious charges made by Capt. E. c. Allen, formerly captain of the guard at the institution

 Ozark, Jan. 20,-(Special)- people
 of Newton, ten miles below here, are
 making a strenuous effort to unearth
 what they suppose is a fraud that has
 been perpetrated in their community.
 The town of Pinckard is situated just
 three miles below Newton. MT. Doherty
 secured license to sell whisky at Pinek-
 ard, and it is believed that his petition is
 not genuine. Newton is a prohibition
 town and the people there are very much
 opposed to it being soldAso near them.
 MT. w. F. Covington is one farmer in
 Dale county who has attained such in
 dependence as is seldom experienced in
 these piney woods. He is enc of the most
 progressive farmers in this section. emr
 ploylng all the labor-saving machinery
 that it is possible for him to use on his
 plantation He is now hauling his crop of 100 bales of cotton to town, which he will place on the market. i
 His honor, Mayor Garner, had a most
 interesting time last Friday. It appears that MT. J. Y. Crawford and a Mr. Brown became involved in a difficulty, where upon MT. Brown reported MT. Crawford to the city authorities for selling him whisky without license, and the mayor ordered Mr. Crawford's arrest. At the trial MT. Crawford pleaded not guilty. MT. Brown was introduced and swore
 that he never bought any whisky of MT. CfaW1Ord ana that when he made the statement that he had done so was drunk and irresponsible. MT. Crawford was acquitted of the charge against him. Myor Garner docketed a case of mali cious prosecution against MT. Brown and fined him $25 and costs. lle5 Thursday afternoon at o'clock at the residence of Mr. I. M. Valentine, in this city, MT. J. M. Miller of Marion county, Texas, was happily married to Miss Ollie Matthews, Rev. B. c. Glenn officiating. Immediately after the ceremony was per formed the couple left for their future home in Texas.
 MT. J. W. McLoun of Americus, Ga., has moved to Ozark. He comes to Ozark to relieve MT. N. W. McNeil, who has been the express agent at this place since
 the railroad was built into the town. Miss Carrie Glenn left Friday for Tus- kegee, where she goes to enter the Ala bama Conference Female college. Miss Lillie Edwards has returned home after a pleasant visit of some weeks to Eufaula, Ala, and Shelman, Ga.
 Miss Erin Reynolds is spending some time with friends in Clayton. Judge and Mrs. Carmichael returned Friday from Troy.

How Mr.. Denamar Was Discovered

Some one has stuffed the Lewiston
Teller with the, following, in which
there is not one word of truth, even the
existence of such a person as Harry
Wray not being remembered in Owyhee
County:
Harry Wray, the well-known pros
pector, in his unassuming manner, re-
lated good story of how he discovered
DeLamar, the milhonre mine owner
Mr.. DeLamar came to old Wagontown,
representing an improved free gold
concentrator and set up mill. He
made contracts with miners to pay
ninety-fye per cent of the assay value
of the ore, less the price of milling. He
was not very successful in milling on
those terms. Harry Wray had a lease
upon the ledge that made DeLamar a
millionaire and delivered twenty five
tons of ore to the mill. The grade Of
the ore was too low to pay freight with
the other expenses. In the meantime
Harry had developed fine ledge.
There was representatives of capital
lists in the camp, but Harry had syms
pathy for the mill-owner and decided to
disclose to him his ideas and discover
les. Mr.. DeLamar came and looked
over the ground, discussed the dip, the
walls and the width Of the pay streak.
He finally decided to purchase the
mine. The price was $1,000. Harry had
no money; and his friend was sin the
same boat" But DeLamar made the
contract to pay the price within a
stated time. He succeeded in interest
ing Wall Bros, of Chicago, in the prop
erty and they advanced him the money.
Mr.. DeLamar begun the work in dead
He moved his mill upon the
aud within three months
cleaned up s24o, 900. Mr.. DeLamar
did not reward Harry for his tip. He
even failed to pay him $3.50, the con-
tract price for some prospect work to
determine a question which was in
doubt before the deal was clos ed.

the South Central and Cripple Creek
Gold Mining Company, the directors
having acquired additional properties
in Colorado. By a resolution passed at
a recent meeting, it was ordered that
the receipts from sales of shares Of
stock and from ores mined, be devoted
to the construction of mill to work
the ore from the conpany's properties
at Silver City, Idaho. This is the com
pany which Abner Enoch promoted"
Mr.. Enoch is now experimenting the
development of the eompany's newly
acquired Cripple Creek properties. We
wonder if those properties were sac
quired" upon the same plan adopted to
acquire Owyhee properties.

War Exists.

War exists in Cuba, and the whole
world knows it, and while Spain admits
its existence in every act, but denies it
on paper, and in diplomatic way, our
Government and people are required to
indorse this falsehood and to admit
that peace prevails on the island. They
punish our people for treason, insur-
rection and piracy with the death pen
atty, because they are charged with
disturbing the peace and breaking laws
that are intended to preserve the peace
in Cuba, while peace does not exist in
the island. To make the case still more
obnoxious to reason and public justice,
Spain violates her treaties with the
United States by forcing our citizens
to trial for these offenses before milit-
ary tribunals organized to convict, and
deprive them of defense by counsel and
of the right to summon witnesses in
their behalf in this alleged time of
peace. If the Government of the Uni
ted States should declare state of war
exists in Cuba, it would use the only
means that is legally possible to pre-
Won't Spain from this insulting conduct
unless we declare war and fight it out.

Peace and Good wiz Prevail and the
Wheels are Turning,

This camp is once more ina cheerful
mood, the strike happily ended and the
miners going to work The manager Of
the company has acceded to the de-
mands of the Miners Union and the
former hands will soon be back in theil
old positions. The stamps will all soon
be again dropping in the mill and bull
lion will once more be coming from the
retorts.
The happiest part Of the whole affair
is, that during month of idleness for
nearly two hundred men, all of them
have deported themselves SO well that
not an act of violence has been com
mitted, or even single breach of ihe
peace. Such quiet strike, held out so
persistently, is almost an unheard of
event and it speaks volumes for the
good sense of all concerned.
Now that the men have won their de-
mands and have won so gracefully that
even the manager has pleasantly com
plimented them and it is to be hoped
that any i'll feeling that may have been
engendered by the differences which
existed may be promptly buried and
forgotten, and that the greatest mine in
Idaho may have its affairs hereafter,
move as smoothly as all right minded
men wish they may.
DeLamar is too rich camp to be
permitted to remain in the sump, and
with its greatest mines now again pros
pering, it is to be hoped that an i'm
petus will be given to the development
of other properties. There are num-
bers of claims of great promise here
and that other great mines viii be
opened depends upon the persistence
of the owners or their willingness to
come to terms with men who has cap
ital to develop them.

Latah county editors, as will be seen
from the following, have more sand
than sense, and in this they differ from
the Owyhee county variety The Mir
ror, shamefully tells this on his brother
of the Double Standard:
Tuesday, Editor Mcdonald, of the
Double Standard took on a little more
than the usual load of bug juice and in
the evening met Atty. West in the Free
Coinage saloon and began to abuse
West. West did not want to quarrel
and left the place but Mcdonald fol-
lowed him to the sidewalk and contin-
ued the abuse, when West warned him
to desist again. Mcdonald continued
and West laid down his overcoat and
cane, then planted blow on MeDon-
AIDS face that sent him to the walk on
his back like stick of wood and then
followed that up with a few solid
"chugs" on the face The marshal ar
rested both men and West allowed to
go on his own reconizance until Satur-
day but Mcdonald demanded trial
and was discharged.

A Peaceful Strike.

The following is copied from the
Wardner News, a paper published
where the CGur d'Alene troubles have
waged the hottest
sgrhe striking miners at DeLamar are
given great credit by the newspapers in
that vicinity for the pacific attitude
which they have maintained since the
strike was inauguraeed at that place.
In view of the conduct of other strikers
in many places. this is certainly very
creditable to them, but to a person en-
tireIy unacquainted with strikes and
their management, it would appear
somewhat strange that a body of men
should receive such lavish enconiums
for simply behaving themselves in such
a manner as should be expected of any
law abiding citizens. Nevertheless, in
the light of past events, the miners of
DeLamar are entitled to this COM
mendation for the reason that they
have, so far, avoided acts of intimida-
ton or destruction of property. For
their own good and that of the com
munity where they are placed, it is sin
cerely hoped that they viii continue
this peaceful process. OF their abso-
lutte right to quit work there can be no
question and if they sustain their
avowed resolution to violate no law in
the maintenance of their rights, they
will have accomplished victory for la
Dor that will augment the natural sym
pathy which the great body of Amer
lean people possess for the toilers of
the land. Trne, this has been greatly
abused by continued outrages of late
years, but it still exists in the hearts of
the people. The cultivation of this
sentiment depends on the workers
themselves. By peaceful, proper and
legal methods, they can accomplish
what they may never hope to attain by
and bloodshed, and the sooner
they understand and practice this, the
viii they reach the goal for
which they are so eagerly striving a
recognition of the rights and the dig
nifty of labor"

The Statesman, in repor ting the ter
mination Of the DeLamar strike, says
''The new rates are the same as are paid
elsewhere in Owyhee." This is not
correct and does the DeLamar Com
pany the injustice Of implying that it
had not been paying as liberal wages as
the other companies. The fact is that
the DeLamar was the last of the three
prominent companies to reduce wages
two years ago, and only then cut to the
rates paid by the others. This fact
was the principal motive for holding
out against the demands of the men.

Indians Must obey Game Laws of the
State.

The United States Supreme Court,
in an opinion by Justice White, passed
upon the rights of the Bannock Indians
to kill game in unsettled lands Of their
former reservation in Wyoming, hold
ing that under their treaty, the Indians
could not kill game in violation of the
game laws of the state.
We hope the Duck Valley and Fort
Hall agencias viii, in respect to this
opinion, stop turning their wards loose
in the southern end of this county,
where the complaints have been so fre-
quent against the Indians, who spend
the greater part of their summers vio-
lating the laws of the state; and exter-
minating game. We also hope that, en-
ccuraged by this decision, the people
of Owyhee will try to catch the Indians
in their depredations and have them
punished.

The most awful calamity which the
world has experienced since the de-
struction of a church in Valparaiso,
thirty five years ago, when filed with
women and children, holding Christ
mas festival, occurred at Moscow, last
Saturday. The Russian coronation
festival and fetes had on that day col
lected throng of two hundred thous-
and people. A panic occurred by the
people crowding each other and could
not be subdued until twenty-five hun
dred men, women and children we're
trampled to DEATH An earthquake is
probably the severest test which can
be made upon human self control, but
here was panic caused by no unfor-
tuituous circumstances except the as
semblage of an immense mass Of hu-
manity which has caused a loss of hu-
man life such as the world has seldom
experienced by fire, flood or earthquake
Is it not possible that science may yet
devise a plan to avert this class of cal
antilles, due solely to the loss of self
control?
