Hanna's Heart Trouble.

Senator Mark Hanna is suffering
from trouble with his heart. The all
ment was directly caused by the great
nervous strain and excitement which
the Senator has been subjected to dur
ing the past year. Symptoms of the
trouble made their appearance last
January. Physician at that time
warned Mr.. Hanna that he must cease
his arduous labors or they would not
answer for the result. Despite this
advice the Senator did not take the
rest which was necessary. The inces-
SAINT strain told at last, when the eli
max was reached a fortnight ago by
Mr.. Hanna having fainting spell in
his office, which caused him so
much uneasiness that on the follow
ing day he left for a ten days recupera.
tive sojourn in his country seat near
Cleveland. He came back considera-
oily refreshed and much better in
spirits, but he has ackno wledged that
his heart was still giving him trouble.
Eyes, l have trouble with my
heart" said the Senator, ut was
brought on by serve nervous strain.
While my condition is far from alarm
ing, still precaution is necessary. Al.
though I have made it rule to see
every, one who calls, from now on I will
be forced to curtail considerably the
number OF my callers. l will do this
with regret, but care must be taken Of
nv health"

get around the odium and danger of

get around the odium and danger of
having the highest court in the Unit
ed States pass upon the repudiated rad
ical bonds held by Mr.. Wesley, the
taxpayers of the State may well con-
graduate themselves. There is an old
legal maxim that possession is nine
points of the law, and in this case 1t is
ten points, because as long as we re-
tain possession we retain everything,
while the surrender of the property
carries with it the loss Of everything
or serious risk of losing it, for l
firmly believe that these Judges, who
have been so uniform in sustaining
Judge Simonton's interference with
the State government, will take pleas
ure in putting one more stigma upon
South Carolina and give one more
blow to her sovereignty. Then If this
script is validated our State debt will
be increased to that amount, as the
script would be good in payment OF
taxes il it is good in buying the .Agri.
cultural Hall.
In view of these facts (and anybody
is at liberty to pick flaws in the argu-
ment ifthey CAM, I leave to the peo-
pie of the State to judge between my
enemies and me. The II told you so"
crowd, who have know all along
that the State would lose and the
taxpayers suffer for Tillman's dsire to
advertise himself" may explain ii
they can how else the question of the
validity of the Blue Riuge bond script
by the United States Supreme Court
could have been prevented.

Supplies In Abundance.

Consul General Lee has cabled the
State Department from Havana that
the amount of supplies he has now on
hand there for the relief of American
citizens in distress is abundant and
will last for some time. Presumably
this statement applies generally to all
the consulates, Tor the consul general
has been in consultation with his su-
bordinate consuls on this matter, by
direction of the Secretary of State. AT
any rate, the department will now
pause before moving further in the di'
rection of distribution of relief. Steps
had already been begun to hurry for
ward supplies from this country to
Cuba just as soon as General Lee was
heard from. General Sullivan, CON-
missary general, has selected one
of his most experienced assistants,
Capt. Davis, who rendered such good
service at Memphis in the relief OF the
food sufferers, to 60 to Cuba with the
supplies, if necessary, and distribute
them under the general plans of Gen
eral Lee. The New York commissary
depot was TO undertake the purchase
of the supplies. Then Mr.. R. A.
Smith, a director in one of the steam
ship lines plying between New York
and Havana, had offered free trans
portation to Cuba of the supplies, and
everything was in trim to begin to
move as soon as word came from Gen.
eral Lee. Now, however the depart
ment will wait until General Lee no
tifies it that there is further need for
relief before putting its plan into op-
Grafton.

A Reverend Rascal,

Rev. a. G.. Harrison, pastor of the
Peoples Tabernacle. Washington, and
his family disappeared from their
home here Tuesday and it is reported
that the reverend gentleman is SO, 900
short in his accounts. He was given
entire charge of the church fund, and,
according to the charges, failed to pay
bills for furniture. carpets and church
organ, for which the money was given
MIN, and also borrowed large sums
FROM his parishoners. w. L. Buren,
the builder Of the tabernacle, is loser
TO the extent of $1,000. When MIR.
Harrison learned that an investigation
was to be made by the church he de.
parted hastily, leaving his household
goods. He came to this city from
Texas, three years ago, engaged in
no isslon work, and gained SO large a
following that the tabernacle was
built, chiefly through the efforts Of
MIR. Bruen, TO give him following.

Typewriter In Chinese.

The Rev. Mr.. Sheffield, q Presby
terian missionary at Tung Chow, ha9
invented a Chinese typewriter, which
is said to be a very remarkable nla]
chine, and is exciting great deal of|
comment over there. He made the
model himself, but sent the parts tor
factory at Hartford, were made in met
al and put together. It turns outtd
be a great success and will relieve both
the foreigners and the native Chinese
from the necessity of using Q paint|
brush and a pot OF ink in conducting
their correspondence.
As near as can be understood from
the description published in the Chi
nese papers, the characters about 4, ,00
in number, are on the edges Of wheels
about one foot in diameter. lt red
quires 20 or 80 wheels to carry all the
letters, and the operator must striks
two keys to make an impression. The
first key turns the wheel and the sec1
ond stops it at the letter wanted, which
is brought down upon the paper BY
an ingenious device. Although the
7
machine is complicated, it shows ara
markable degree of ingenuity and
skill and DR.. Sheffield hopes to make
many improvements in the way Q,
simplicity.
The difficulty of his task and thu
wonder of his invention may be rei
eognized when it is known that thert
are $4,000 characters in the Chimes
language, each one of them represent1
ing a distinct word. There ara bel
tween 1900 and S 1000 in common use
which he has selected and placed upon
his typewriter. The newspaper vocal
bulary of China involves fully thai
number of characters, but the peasantS
do not make use of more than b00
characters.

Had to Shut Down.

The State dispensary, SO Commits
sioner Vance says, has been forced 70
shut down for week owing to the
fact that it has all of its space taken un
with stock. The boxes are piled dE|
and have left no room for the opera
tives. This is due to the delay IN ting
several dispensers in not sending i1
their orders until the end of the month,
Mr.. Vance found the same trouble Last
month. The commissioner states thai
he has received complaints from many
points in the State that the county dlsl
pensaries cannot supply certain brandA
of liquors when called for. He sayd
this trouble is likewise due to the fact
that the dispensers hold back their or
ders till the end of the month and
then rush them in, instead OF keeping
their stocks up by fling orders along
during the month as they should dol
The State dispensary has a complete
stock of all the brands OF liquors
wanted and is able to furnish them 81
soon as ordered.

Rev. James Hoskins, a preacher Of
the Free Thinker faith, who had beer
holding forth on the streets OF Atlan1
ia for 80 nights, was tried IN the police
court today and fined. His arrest|
was caused by the vicious terms With
which he characterized Christ, del
nouncing him as hypocrite, liar and
pretender. The preaching created
general indignation and many COM
plants were made against the preachI
er. His entire denomination wad

fined they declared they would have

''Dr. Woodrow being absent, Prof.
Sloan is acting in his stead as presis|
dent. A few days ago permission was
given the military to have their in.l
spection on the athletic field of thel
college. Acting President Sloan did
not know that such permission had
been given and pending match game
of baseball between the IndependentE|
and the college team, the military in-|
spection was ordered on the field.
When the troops came up. Prof.
Sloan had an interview with General
Watts, informing him of the match
game.
General Watts intimated thst tha|
grounds belonged to the State and the
troops had a right to use any portion1
of them they wished.
Prof. Sloan replied: "Yes, they bel
long to the State but are for the usea1
of the college," but that the grounds
were ample.
General Watts replied that he did
not wish to interfere but would tak1|
the troops to the eastern portion OF
the grounds.
"After this amiable arrangement
and interview, Prof. Sloan thought
the whole thing settled, but the troops
were later formed on the South Ede'
of the field, in line with the ball
grounds, about third base.
General Watts and staff took pod

doubt, but how it all occurred is
question about which there are some
doubts.
Gen. Watts was asked to make a
statement Friday night, but he de-
clined to say anything further than
that he was right in all his orders and
actions. He said that military com
mander should not 60 into explana-
tons, especially as the whole thing
might result in court martial. Be-
yond that he would express no opin'
ion or make any statement.
COL. JONES' STATEMENT.
Col. Willie Jones made the fol-
lowing statement Friday night:
DR.. Jas. Woodrow, president OF the
South Carolina College, gave me writ
ten permission to parade on the col
lege grounds last Wednesday, May 26.
General Watts had an atiliction in his
family and the parade was postponed
until this evening out OF respect to
him. did not think it necessary to
get further permission from Or.
Woodrow, so did not write to him
again, but 1 supposed the first permis,
sion would suffice. He asked me to
use the Eastern part OF the grounds as
much as possible, so as to keep from
roughing the part specially used by
the ball players" l marched on that
Eastern portion of the ground as
much as possible, and kept off the
ball ground which has been smoothed

troverted rights of property; and the
record in this case will not be evidence
against it for any purpose touching
the merits of the claim.
If this were only suit for the pos
session of the Agricultural Hall, there
would be no controversy, for the State
would never have held the property
and refused to deliver it but for the
conspiracy and fraud which was di
vulged by the tender of the bond
script. If the State takes that course,
then it voluntarily enters the Federal
courts ultimately and asks for the
validity of the bonds to be passed
upon. The situation leaves the State
but one course; force them to dispos.
sess its officers who are not parties to
the suit, to put Wesley in possession or
hold the property, and thus protect
litigation until Wesley and his specu-
lating attorney q suppose Lyles is
working on a contingent fee) shall be
tired out. # the State is dispossessed
by force, then the sophistry and falsi-
ty as to its being no suit against the
State is proven; and we will occupy a
better position after this judicial tyr
amy is practiced upon us than to be
dragged into the court in this under
handed and unconstitutional way.
Unlesss the court was to 20 to the
extreme of dispossessing the present
State officers, who are in no way con-
nected with Mr.. Tindal and do not
hold from or under him, the only
thing that need give us any concern is
the settlement of MIR. Tindal's bond.
This, of course, the State is in honor
bound to pay. But if it can hold
possession of the property and thus
