possible to get honest dispensers
as honest treasurers and auditors.
L favor the election of dispensers
by the people. The liquor men
have appealed to Caesar, and our
Judge has outdone them all. Bond,
In his palmiest days, could not
exceed Simonton as tyrant. He
has run government by courts to
an unbearable limit. The change
from the old board of control to
the new was sad change. There
is politics in the board. Two
against three shows something
wrong. Something is wrong with
any man the legislature elects.
The governor, ETC., are the right
full board.
"As TO the metropolitan police,
Charleston had virtually seeded
from the state. Her grand juries
persistently refused to do their
duty. The officers of the law were
discredited. Governor Evans was
right in putting on the metropol-
itan police. Governor Ellerbe
was right in maintaining it. Ell
lerbe wanted to remove the DO
lice, but necessity called for its
maintenance.
eff the dispensary is rotten,
YOU are largely to blame. If you
admit you can't Select honest dis
pensers, you can't elect honest
treasurers, and therefore admit
that civilization is failure. In
ADbeville and elsewhere YOU
have had honest management.
"Men who have constantly op-
posed Ben Tillman and all his
work are bound to admit that the
dispensary is superior to the other
two systems we have tried.

Asked as to the senatorial can
didates, the senator said: .If the
four can't convince you one of
them is fit, leave all. For a man
who as state senator has been a
friend and a supporter of the dis
pensary, Mayfield is taking a
remarkable course.
"We are trying to get men at
Clemson fit to teach the boys.
We want boys sent from the
school to the farm-not from

The senator left at 40 o'clock
for the Clemson board meeting.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, April 24.-The dullness Of
the trading continued today and the
market sagged from inanlmation. The
lower prices of American securities on
the London exchange gave the tone to
the opening here where prices OF the
international shares promptly adjust
ed themselves to the London parity,
except in the cases of Reading and
Southern preferred. These two stocks
were an exception on the London eX-
change in showing fractional gains
over the New York closing. But New
York declined to adopt the London
View of them and they sold here at n
decline about proportionats with the
other internations. The bears attacked
Missouri Pacific with renewed stories
of financial difficulties and probability
of a reccivership. The stock rallied
slightly frcm the decline on official de-
malls of these rumors but the net loss
of the day amounted to IA. Consoli-
dated Gas was affected by the con-
tinucd agitation for legal restriction
of the price of gas to 81 ami fell two
points without rallying. There was a
slight rally in the list at one time, but
the selling pressure was resumed and
prices declined TO the close. The total
sales today were 45,e19.

Palmer Mckinley

The remaining states which went for
Mckinley are oregon, California, and
Kentucky. These were the closest states
in the list. McKinley's plurality in ore
gon was 2,0i0 and General Palmer's vote
S7. If every Indianapolis Democrat in
Oregon had voted for Bryan, Mckinley
would nevertheless have gained the four
electoral votes of that state by a plurality
exceeding 1000. In California the varying
votes given to the respective electors on
the Republican ticket resulted in the
choice of one Bryan man and eight Nc
Kin!ey men. The total Palmer vote was
173O; the plurality for the highest McKln-
ely elector was 1881 We have not at hand
the figures for the other Mckinley elec.
tors in California, but let us assume that
the transfer to the Bryan column of the
173O Palmer votes would have reversed the
result and given to Bryan eight of the
Palmer vote of 5l14 exceeded the Nick IL
ley plurality of PSI. Here, likewise, let us
assume that the absence of an Indianapo-
that state thirteen electoral votes instead
of the single one which he got. Trans
ferring, on the strength of this eXtrcme
supposition, seven electoral votes of Cali
fornia from Mckinley to Bryan, and
twelve electoral votes of Kentucky, the
general result of the election would not
have been affected The only change
would have been in the size of McKinley'S
electoral! majority. Instead Of an electoral
majority of 90, he would have had one or
81, sufficiently conclusive and impressive
for all practical purposes.

BUCK MOUNTAIN TUNNEL TAPPED.
Stream of Water Sxl2 Feet Shot n
Distance of Fifty Feet,

Hazleton, April 25.-The Buck Noun
tain tunnel, which has just been COM
pleted after two years of operations,
was tapped last Friday, and the spec
tacle afforded was one that has never
before been witnessed in this region.
1t took eight minutes from the time of
the discharge OF the battery to reach
the mouth of the tunnel, when a stream
of water Sx12 feet thick shot forth a
distance of so feet. 1t uprooted trees,
tore a gulley of Is feet in diameter,
and filled the houses situated close by
with seven feet of water.
The body of water that this basin
contains cannot be estimated, but it's
release will be the means of uncovering
millions of tons of coal. AS soon as
the water recedes the Cross Creek Coal
company will begin the work of driving
gangways and making other improve
ments, which will furnish employment
to hundreds of idle men and boys.

Alfred Lord Tennysons poem bearing
that title, was presented by local tai
ent in Davis opera house last Wednes-
day evening under the patronage of
the Ladies' Aid society Of the Presby-
terian church. The rehearsals and the
presentation of the drama were un-
der the direct supervision of Miss Dor
say and with her efficient aid and
through the efforts of those participat-
ing, combined with their natural quail
ihcations, the play was rendered in a
manner which would do credit to the
professional stage The costumes were
tasty and fitting to the occasion. The

that character marked distinction and
brought to the front a part which

themselves in a manner which did

VERY BUSY CLERGYMAN.
Rev. Benjamin Cottreli, of Pawtuxet
Valley, Has II Great Record.
From the PawtuXet Nalley Gleaner


The celebration of the eighty-first
birthday of the Rev. Benjamin Cot
trell at Fiskville Corners, in the Paw
tuXet valley last night, calls attention
to the wonderful record of service per-
formed by this minister of the gospel.
In speaking of the details of his busy
life Mr.. Cottrell said: II have mar
ried 1872 couples and 1 have married
as many as % couples some years. The
largest sum / ever received as a mar
riage fee was $40, which the late Hen
ry S. Angel paid me. 1 have often
married couples who would promise to
come back and pay when they got
money, but l never saw the large ma
jority of them again. The smallest
fee l ever received for a marriage was
a Goldfish and dozen of eggs. Years
ago many of those whom / married
paid me in vegetables, and one good
farmer never got through putting in
vegetables for me each winter until
he died.
II have attended 1,495 funerals as
officiating clergyman. Among those
funerals were those of my first and
second wives, the latter dying some
eighteen months ago. There were
two children, a boy and a girl, by my
first marriage. l do all my own house,
work, cooking, washing, ironing.
learned to do it gradually, for my last
wife was an invalid, and since her
death l have gone on alone.
I raised all the money but $40 10
build the Tabernacle church, where
preach every Sunday. 1t was built
in 1873 and cost $1,664.41, and when it
was dedicated April 16 it was all paid
for except $225.. Almost everyone gave
me money for it, but there was one
poor old lady who had no home, and
not cent, but she wanted to contrib
ute something, She was very old and
feeble, but she got some knitting to
do, earned a dollar and sent for me.
She gave me the money and said, L
want you to buy the key to the new
church with this and / did it,"
In his lonely home Mr.. Cottrell has
made some bed quilts Of wonderful
design, one with 5000 and the other
with 5000 pieces. He is his own sex
ton, and takes entire charge of the
Tabernacle. He breaches each Sunday
and keeps the church out of debt. He
is of the Baptist faith. Rev. Mr.. Cot
trell is a well preserved, keen, aged
man, short in stature, wears full
beard, and is moderate and precise in
every act,

such striking vividness as to hold the
audience in a tenseness Of interest
which had frequent outbreak in bursts
of hearty applause. The harsh
ness In speech and motion, which
usually accompanies the amateur ef-
fort in character portrayal was en-
tirely lacking. The drama was marked
throughout by an easy flow of Ian
guage and natural, unstrained car
riage and motion. The young ladies'
in the Delsartean movements and CHOIR
uses were particularly graceful in their
every effort and showed careful train
ing and aptness. The singing was all
