Mr.. Thomas b. Beasley, Of Chalk

three ware houses and one dwelling
house had drifted on his farm from
up Tennessee River during the high
water, and it is thought the latter
contains dead bodies. An nvesti-
CATION will be made as soon as the
stage of the water will permit. 1t
is not known where the buildings
came from.
Mr.. w. NJ. Cuff, of Eva, was in
town Monday. He stated that the
water at that place had fallen about
fifteen feet The recent rise Of the
Tennessee River was greater than
ever known before. The rise at

that the water rose 10 inches above
the gage Of 1882.

it in decayed fence rail near his

a bottle. The centiped measured
nearly three inches in length, and
is a venOmous insect, as the human
flesh, when touched by it, is said tc
decay and fall off. Many species
of the centiped attain a length Of {
inches in tropical climates, where
they are Stunned and dreaded by
the natives.

The proposition to call a consti-

being discussed by the State press.
With few exceptions the present
organic law is considered all right
by many prominent men if its pro-
visions are but observed. Itwould
no doubt be dangerous to attempt
to get a better constitution now.

now out of the hands Of the farmer,
and the rise in price has only the
effect of raising the price of -four,

the same old story, the consumer

Brown to be removed after getting the
order of dismissal. Brown came out
with Mr.. Wertz and Mr.. Wannama-
ker. He asked him if be was going
home, and he replied, yes. He asked
me if he could get seat in my buggy
and at first told him yes, but know
ing and believing he was the party
who burned my barn, I told him he
had better walk home. He walked to-
wards the postofice, and did not see
Brown again until he was hung up on
the post. When we turned him out
it was understood that it was not be-
cause we believed him innocent, but
simply to implicate others. He said he
had gotten Mr.. Hampton Dukes to ar,
range to employ detective to work
UP the case, and he was to or had writ
ten about the matter.
MAGISTRATE c. P. BRNNsoN
swore that he wrote the discharge fol-
Lawrence Brown on the 5tb, Tuesday.
The discharge was directed to the sher
iff. 1t was given at the request of the
prosecuting witness, who came to him
and told him he would like more time
and SAID. he wanted more time, and il
he got more evidence he would renew
the charge, as he could work pthe
case better with Brown at large.
He did not consider the dismissa
temporary. He judged that the case
was to be pushed, but that the dismls
sal was final so far as he was concerned
The charge could be renewed at any
time. There was no preliminary hear
ing, There was no evidence offered
The warrant was issued on informa
ton and belief. He understood Brown
was to be used as a decoy. Ii he hac
gotten hold of any evidence he woulo
never have discharged him.
He asked for the nature of the evi
dence, but none was presented. MI

In concluding, the Board says:
This Board earnestly entreats each
and every member of the General
Assembly to remember the difficulties
and backsets which have been en-
countered in bringing the college up
to what it is to day, and to lend to the
Board their help and assistance. Fur
thermore, we urgently request, if
possible, every member of your
bodies to visit Clemson College during
this session; and if you desire to &C.
cept this invitation an intimation to
that effect will be sufficient, and some
members of the Board will make the
necessary arrangements, and look
after the comfort of the visitors.

today consigned to New England
firms. The train was the Worcester
salt special, bearing a consignment OF

road to Boston. A large crowd was
gathered about the train, and as ii

A Chicago Yarn.

CHICAGO, January GA Superior,
Wis, special says: Bloodshed may
be the result of a misunderstanding
between Two prominent men. The
parties are Col. @. D. Loud, WHO is
here from Savannah, Ga, and W. j.
Holden, local shipbuilder and poll
tician. Col. Loud was engaged in en-
couraging immigration to the fruit
growing sections of Georgia. Holden
was sent with Col. Loud a short time
ago to Georgia by party OF ship .Tard
men to look over the country. While
away Holden conceived the idea OF
going into business himself and start
ed a rival business about three rliles
from Col. Loud's lands, near Macon.
The Colonel demanded an explana.
ton and got Holden out in the South
one night to Cowhide him, but the lat
ter escaped in the darkness. Both
men were armed, so said the Colonel,
although shooting on his part was to
be the last resort. The q uarrel has
been carried to this city and Loud
threatened either to cowhide Holden
or kill him because he had done him
dirty trick. Both men are talking
loud and threateningly and duel has
been hinted at. Col. Loud is typical
Southerner, who has the reputation of
having projected his honor on ground
where blood has been spilled. Holden
stubborniy holds off and friends are
keeping them apart and say that a
duel may yet end the misunderstood
ing.

Are Populists Honest!

RALEIGH, Jan. 6.-The Democratic
legislative caucus adopted unanimous
ly the following resolution which
was passed in the hands of the Popu-
list caucus:
"Confding in the Peoples party
professions favoring free silver, we
invite cooperation with the Populist
members OF the legislature in the elec
ton of an advocate of free silver, an
opponent of trusts and combines, and
an advocate of an income tax, to the
United States senate. If the Peoples
party accept this proposition we pledge
ourselves to abide by and perform the
agreements entered into.

much needed. We therefore earnest
ly request that the college be LETT in

would be of a great benefit to the peo-

Reports o. tie Silver-miniug conn
panies show that in many cases the
cost of producing silver is now less
than % cents per ounce and that the
silver used in the manufacture of a
dollar would not probably cost ABOUT
20 cents. No wonder that the silver
mine owners are willin" to spend
millions to force Tile United States to
adopt laws by which they can turn 20
cents worth OF their products into a
dollar, especially in view of the fact
that most of the silver mines are now
owned by foreigners.

Democratic members OF Congress
who voted for the new tariff law will
find no reason to regret their action
when they reach Washington in De-

the new law have now reached such a
figure that it is perfectly apparent the
measure is going to be success as a
revenue producer. The earnings of
the present month are running at the
average rate of million dollars for
