yer Tonic is a ONE-DAY
Cure. 1t cures the most
stubborn case of Fever In

Fear of Lightning.

The fear of lightning is the
most common form of fear. And
yet by lightning fewer people
are killed than almost any other
form of accident. In the United
States about two hundle per-
sons are killed each year by
lightning, or one person in every
three hundred and fifty thousand.
This is an average of three per-
sons in the State of South Caro-
lima. These are the figures of
the Weather Bureau and are,
therefore, authoritative. In New
York city alone over two hun
dred persons are drowned each
year, one hundred and fifty peo.
pie are burnt or scalded to death
and five hunded persons meet
their death by falls of various
kinds. In cities and towns there
is practical immunity from death
by lightning when living in a
house covered with tin roof, and
the authority for this statement
is a writer In the Electric Engine
er. Only one in three of those
struch are killed. So lightning
is a very infrequent cause of
death, and there is little reason 10
live in dread Of it.

Shefif D. t. Bsadham, who is
going to make the race for Con,
gress. is said to be man of lin
domitable energy and as having
been "a public servant in war and
peace" His war record is an
admirable one, aud he now wears
an empty sleeve as the result of
facing the enemy. The Manning
Times Of last week, in speaking
ofcaptain Bradham said he 'sup-
ports zealeusly any cause he
thinks in right, and when the
Reform movement was in lis in
cipency he was. among the first
to hold up its standard. He was
also among the first to advance
the idea Of bringing the people
together and by adopting a con
servative course himself, an ex-
ample was set by which friction
was removed in the bonds of his
personal influence"
Solicitor johnson is a man Of
stirling qualities. He is a good
speaker, a hard worker and one
who would look closely after the
interests of his constituents. AS
solicitor his record IS All enviable
bne;; as . lawyer he stands in the
fruLt rank. Mr. johnson is bet
Ter known to the people of the
Fourth Judicial Circuit than he
is to the people of the counties OF
Williamsburg and Clarendon, but
he is not entirely unknown in
these counties, for his record as
solicitor is known alt orer the
State. Even his political oppon-
ests acknowledge his fitness for
tlIe position. The voters of the
Sixth District could not cast
thsir ballots for a more compe-
fem AID deserving mau than he,
atna Ne venture the assertion that
Mbe IS elected he will spare no
pins to serve the best interests
.6f the people Of this section OF
the State.
Feni d. Bryant, Esq, of Mar
Jon is 10 the race also. His card
appears in another column. Mr..
Bryant is alawser by profession
and is one Of the leading members
Of the Marion Bar. He is said
to be q very forcible and fluent
speaker. He entered the Con
feder'e army at a very early age
belonging to the Goth North
Carolina Regiment and was spok-
en- Of BY Col. Toon in writing a
sketch Of his regiment for Col.

the close of the war he was left
penniless, and "by the sweat of
his brow" made his way through
college and in 1873 was admitted
10 the bar. Mr.. Bryant occupies
an unique position, he having
never befoJe aspired TO political
honors. Should he be elected the

"In California last year the value of
gold mined was sI3,o6os2a and the cost
of getting it was sI2,5o6.555. That is, it
cost last year 90 cents to mine dollars
worth of gold. This is not exactly "like
finding money" In Colorado the busi-
ness was far more successful, yield of
s23.oco,ooo costing only $la5oo.ooo. and
in Montana the cost of mining dollar
was even lower, or about IS cents. TAX.

silver mined in 1890 was $oo,z83752. and
the capital invested was S486. .373338, OF

produced. Every dollar invested pro-

Gulf Road Will Introduce Safeguards
Against Accidents.
September Is the GULF road will adopt
the train gate system on its line between
Denver and Fort Collins, The system Is
simply protection against eident to
passengers while arriving at and leaving
stations and during the trip. The Gulf
is the first Colorado line to adopt the
system, applying it to all passenger
coaches and sleeping cars. The actions
of passengers at every station is the
cause of the adoption of the system.
When train arrives at any station there
is always crowd awaiting it. There is
rush on the part of the people who
wish to leave the train and also those
who want to board it. The agile man
who tries to get on the train with his
arms full of baggage before the train
stops usually meets another athletic in
dividual who wants to get off in hurry.
There is collision, profanity and fire.
quently injury, for which the company is
blamed. Then there are the boys who
hang on the platforms and the man who
tries to catch the train after 1t starts to
pull out from the station. Accidents re-
sulting from such efforts are quite fire.
quent and the railroad company IS
held responsible. The train gate is
calculated to stop just such accidents.
They are SO constructed that it is i'm
possible for the platforms to be reached
until they are opened. They will be kept
closed at stations until the train comes
to full stop and closed tight again be-
fore the train starts. All passengers are
to be allowed to leave the train before
any are admitted and no one is allowed
upon the train without ticket. The use
of the gates will also prevent accidents
by parties falling from the train while
trying to pass from one car to another
between stations.-Denver News.

The Elements Play Frightful Havoc With

Galveston, Sept. I4-The estimates of
the death list at Sabine pass, resulting
from Sundays tornado, range from eight
to forty. The ranches and towns west
of Sabine are known to be devastated.
South of Galveston the land is flooded
with vast sea of water.
The wind began blowing Friday and
continued Saturday from the southwest,
forcing the waters of the Gulf of Mexico
up the rivers and into the lake. On Sun
day morning sharp tornado struck the
section from the north. The waters of
the lake were forced down again and
meeting with the rush from the gulf
formed vast flood, which spread over
the whole district.
Port Arthur and Sabine were almost
wiped out of existence by the tornado
and many lives were lost. The new
towns of Webb, Seaburso, Cheek and
Farnette are completely destroyed. The
disaster is similar to the one in 1886
when fifty lives were lost

ming to tour the country at the conclusion

others patrolling the factory.

"relics" brought into prominence by the
trial of his father for alleged wife mur-
der. The doors which covered the vat
during the alleged dlsintegraton of Mrs.
Leutgart's body. the shovel found beside
the vat, some of the caustic potash and a
number of views of the interior and ex-
terror of the factory will be exhibited.
Arnold Leutgart expects the family
name and his connection with the famous
case will attract crowds to his exhibit.
