About Newberry.
Darlington News.

A few facts about tho progressive
town OF Newberry may be in order
just now, as that place has worry re-
Gently been brought prominently in
to notice by tho meeting of tho State
Press Association: Newbcrry has a
large cotton factory of 5000, 1000 cap
ital with 10000 spindles, one Of the
largest and best equipped mills in
tho State. The town has also an
artesinn well, giving forth pure wat
or, and is just now putting in wutor
works and electric lights. Tho Now
berry College also, which would be
credit to any town Of larger popu-
lation, must not be forgotten. This
institution is presided over by Prcsi-
dent Geo. Cromcr, highly cult
waited and intellectual man. A nico
library, chemical laboratory and So
ciety rooms arc somo Of the attrac-
tions Of this collogo which has done
50 much for Newborry. Nowbcrry,
as many Of us know, is stronghold
for Luthcrans, and that denomina-
ton is now erecting fine now brick
church at cost Of about $4,000.
Tho Newborry ana the Crotwell
House arc tho principal hotels Of
the place, and as tho editor of Tho
News stopped at the former, he is in
a position to say that he was well
pleased with tho accommodations An
othcr thing which mu't bo said to
tho credit Of the town md county is
that Tillman has never been very
strong thero-tho factions have been
pretty cvonly divided and both sides
have secured Offices.

A correspondent writes to the London
Field that while he was hunting rabbits
with ferrets i'll January he found rabbits
on three occasions in willow trees which
overhung the water Of n mill stream.
The miller said that it was not an un-
usual circumstance. Some months ago
The Field tod of other rabbits which
had been shot, like raccoons or opos-
sums. out of trees in England. In re-
cent years cases of rabbits in trees have
been reported with increasing frequency,
From Australia has come the most re-
markable story of rabbits ms climbers.
The only way in which rabbits could be
kept out Of certain tracts of land in
Australia was by the building of wire
fences about them, the fences having
meshes so small that the beasts could
not crawl through and being so high
that they could not jump owe The rab-
bits have clawed ut the wires until their
nails gradually have become hooked.
Some of the rabbits learned to scale the
fences, and then great additional ex-
pense was necessary, for the top Of the
fence had to be bent over like a ] up
side down, with the hook out, SO that
the rodents could not get ovcr the top.
Australian rabbits are said to be learn

Patrick was a new man in the light

faithfully to acquire the ease and natu-

congratulated himself that this was at

on parade his horse ahied and threw him

gained consciousness, he found that his
arm had been broken with the fall. With

FRENCH JOURNALS.
Shares OF Several Bought and Sold Dali
on the Stock Exchange,

Shares Of Several Bought and Sold Daily
on the Stock Exchange.
Most of the French journals have a
salle de depeches, where bulletins are
displayed and u museum of relics of the
paper is kept. French journalism is
much more personal in regard to its lit
erary composition than that of England
or America. a large proportion Of the
articles are signed with the names of
the writers, even when the work is
more or less Of a routine nature, such
as the sporting or law departments of
the paper. On the other haLu. The own
ership Of newspapers is less frequently
lodged in single hands than is the case
in America. Very many of the French
papers are owned by companies or asso-
Citations, while the stock of several Of
the best known. such as The Figaro and
Petit journal, is bought and sold daily
on the Stock Exchange, the quotations
appearing as regularly as these of rail
way shares or Government bonds.
The circulation of all but a very few
of the Paris papers varies enormously,
according to the contents. If a paper
contains n striking article, well adver-
tiscd previously, or if its feuilieton, con-
tinued story or memoirs, which most of
the French journals consider an essen
tial part of their daily issue, is by some
well known author, the circulation will
run up so, 600 or 100, 600 in a week
and drop again as O rs the special
feature is discontinued. When LIE Jour
began publishing M. Henri Rochefort's
memoirs, its circulation went up five
fold, although the price of the paper
had been doubled in order to make hay
while the sun shone.
The French press is much more con
ce,ltrated in the capital than that of
other European countries. In Germany,
for inatapce, it is not the press of Berlin
that has the largest circulation or the
greatest influence. In this, as in many
other matters, however, the French
press only bears out the saying that
paris is France. "-Chautauquan.

national president of the Brotherhood of

which Eugene V. Debs and Henry D.
Lloyd are the chief promoters, said to-
day: THE experiment will first be
tried in Utah. We have chosen Utah
because the ATormons have already
proved that cooperation in many ways
can be made a success. Our idea is to
establish cooperative communities of

the hrst community next fall so that

MOB AT URBANA, o.
A Crowd Follows a Prisoner to Jail
and Threatens Lynching.

Urbana, O.. June S.-When "CIick''
Mitchell, the colored man who assaulted
Mrs. T. NJ. Gaumer, an editress, a few
days ago, was brought before that lady
for identification she exclaimed: Hang
the brute; how dare he face me" Her
nervous prostration was so great that
she could not repeat her identification in
the mayors court.
When Mitchell was taken from the
court to the jail a great crowd followed.
No violence was attempted but there
were threats of lynching. But for the
lack of leader there would have been
an attempt at lynching in daylight. Sher>
iff AcKinn with Captain Leonard of the
National Guard were requested to leave
the town by persons in the crowd. At
late hour the crowd dispersed but the
sheriff and Captain Leonard kept a sharp
lookout for trouble.
At 2:30 this morning a crowd of 300 or
400 men and boys gathered near the jail
and shouted Hang him, hang him"
Sheriff McKinn appeared with a fresh
detachment of militia and read the riot
act. Some one threw a stone toward the
sheriff. No attempt was made to enter
the jail and the crowd began to disperse.

WHOLESALE HEGTRA.
St Louis Authorities Compel 1000
Painted Women to Move.

St Louis, June 3.-Half of the world
has moved in a single day Such an
exodus was ever known in St Louis.
The order went forth that before Is
hours passed keepers and inmates Of
every house of i'll repute on Clark ave
nue., Sixth, Elm and Spruce streets must
vacate.
Thus was demonstrated what q
wealthy corporation can do For years
and years this vicinity has been known
as the bad lands; in fact, the Oldest in
habitant cannot remember when vice
has not ruled supreme there A year
ago when the order went forth segre-
eating the scarlet women on Chestnut
street, the hundreds that lived down
town were not included, and only those
on Walnut street We're compelled to
move.
But Charles F. OrthWein, president of
the Southern Electric company, found
out that his business was being affected
There was a falling off in receipts, and
he came to the conclusion that it was
due to the sights that were witnessed
by passengers who, after riding through
Sixth street once, did not care to do so
again.
He complained to the police They
looked at the neighborhood through the
corporation eyeglasses, and Immediate
ly saw things they had never seen be-
fore. There We're women, half clad,
sitting at open windows and beckOning
to passers-by; there We're small pro-
cessiOns of individuals rushing cans;
there were fights and drunken brawls.
Between the hours of and 10 in the
morning IT'S houses were 6epOpuIated.
The police are authority for the state
ment that there were an average of six
women to each place, So with this as
an estimate. 1050 members of the So
cial substrata marched forth fromroolz-
cries and homes of more substantial
build to seek new abOdes.
Thirty-fiVe vans were busy at once,
and as the time was limited, furniture
was handled without much care. Stoves,
pianos, carpets, sofas, curtains, chairs,
etc. were piled in promiscuously, and
then away drove the vans UP town.
A large crowd gathered on the streets
above named and watched the curious
procession, for in the rear Of the vans
followed a struggling army of women
A few of them took carriages, others
went by street cars and still others
walked.
Probably not since the innocence of
early girIhood had they been out Of
doors so early in the morning. They
seemed bewiIdered and frightened.
Their pinched, white faces, hastily be
daubed with powder and a dash of
paint, had a garish look under the
bright sunlight. They were a daZed,
hunted lot, and as they moved on at
the command of the police it seemed
more like a roundup of animals than
the carrying out of orders referring to
human beings.
Some of these women were strangely
attired in silk and satin of style and
cut not made for outdoor wear.
For months they had not been on the
streets in all probability and these
house garments were all they possessed,
Nearly every one carried a bundle of
some sort and fiaring goods could be
seen in many instances where the
wrapping paper had broken.

MRS. YERKES ROBBED.
Her Purse and $500 Worth of Jewel
ry Taken From Her Carriage.

New York, June 3.-NIrs Yerkes. wife
of the Chicago street railway million
aire, who owns a palace at S46 Fifth av-
enue, this city, was the victim of thief
in front of the Hotel Waldorf about
noon today.
Mrs. Yerkes had gone into the hotel
and left her pCczetbook, of green silk,
with gold clasps, lying on the seat of
the carriage, which stood at the curb
Beside the pocketbook lay $50 in bills
and jewelry worth $500.
The window OF the carriage was let
down from the top. A slight, poorly
dressed man was seen by the coachman
to pass near to the carriage once or
twice. Suddenly the man darted at the
window, thrust his hand inside and
then ran off down Fifth avenue toward
Thirty-second street.
The coachman caught a glimpse of
the green and gold purse in the flying
mans hand, and, whipping up his horses
started in hot pursuit.
At Thirty-second street and Fifth av-
enue a crowd blocked the sidewalk. Into
this the fleeing man darted just as the
coach came abreast of him and the
cOachman leaped off the box
The policeman ran up in time to seize
a young man with a flushed face, Gov
cred with perspiratiOn. The green silk
purse lay on the sidewalk not far from
his feet. He denied having taken the
pocketbOOk and protested that he had
only tried to help catch the thief The
coachman appeared at the station in a
few minutes and stated that Mrs. Yerkes
did not want to press the charge
against the man.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Yerkes had com
pleted their fine house they opened a
campaign to obtain recognition from
