Vegetables Running Short.

The continued dry weather at Spar.
tanburg is getting to be rather serious
Gardens are failing rapidly, The sup
ply of vegetables from truck patches
has been cut off. The pastures and up-
cultivated fields are nearly as barren as
they are in December. Country pro-
duce is very scarce. It is the middle Of
June and the best gardeners in the
Piedmont are living on canned goods
and green vegetables shipped from the
lower part of the State and Florida.
Even the early apples on the market
are almost dry and not much larger
than ordinary plums. Day after day
passes without clouds, with the tenn
perature 68 to SO degrees. The wheat,
where harvested is almost dry enough
to grind.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
NO MORE HOTEL PRIVILEGES.
Hotel Calhoun, Charleston Hotel and
Commercial Club Closed.

Although it has been understood for
some time that the hotel privileges
would have to go, the managers have
expected that they would be given warn
ing before they were closed, and Man
ager Davids, of the Charleston Hotel,
wrote to Governor Ellerbe before leav-
ing for the North, three weeks ago, Of
feripg, if it was his intention to close
the hotel dispensaries, to ship the
liquors in the Charleston Hotel dispen-
sary back to Columbia.
Mr.. Townsend came down on the
morning train and, registering at the
st. Charles Hotel, which has no dis
pensary, he was for some time in con-
ference with State liquor constables.
All arrangements being perfected, war
rants were then secured from Magistrate
Disher against the Charleston Hotel
Company and the Calhoun Hotel Com
pany, authorizing tho seizures.
1t was not until 4 o'clock that the ac-
tual descent was made, the Calhoun
being the first attacked. When the
constables, backed by the police, en-
tered, the manager asked to see their
authority, and on being shown the
warrant told them to take possession,
as the goods in the dispensary belong
cd to the State and they had every
right to take their own. They put a
lock on the room and left two police
men in charge.
At the Charleston Hotel, however,
things were little more mixed; for, IN
addition to the dispensary, there was
lhe Commercial Club, which contained
liquors that did not belong to the
State. Under the warrant against the
hotel company this was seized as well
as the dispeusary stuff, the bulk OF
what was taken being so great that II
required four wagons to haul IL to the
depot for shipment to Columbia.
At the same time thai the club was
raided Mr. Allan, the manager, was ar
rested for violation of the dispen.
sary law, but was soon after released
on bond.

Summcrville is the Place.

AS result of the visit of the rendez-
vous commission Charleston has a fiat
tering prospect of having q camp Of
from ten to twenty thousand troops, if
not in the city itself, at least in her
suburb in the pines; her boasted health
resort, Summerville. There is abso-
lutely no prospect of having the camp
located in the city proper, for there is
not enough open ground for camping
and drill purposes in the city, thous-
and OF fifteen hundred acres being re-
ouired for camp of the size proposed;
but there is all the room and the very
best location that could be had In

George Tillman's Platform.

Ex-Congressmsn George D. Tillman,
a brother Of United States Senator Till
man, has issued on address to the
voters of South Carolina. in which he
indicates his purpose to be candidate
for Governor or platform favoring the
sale of liquor under county licenses,
each county to have the right to say by
popular vote whether it will license
liquor selling or have prohibition. The
proceeds OF licenses he proposes to de-
vote entirely to general county purposes
and not to schools. OF course, under
the constitution, the licenses would al
low the sale of liquor only in quantities
not less than oue-half pint, not to be
drunk on the premises.

Charleston's Export Trade.

Charleston S exporting trade has not
been disturbed to any extent by the
prevalence of war. The Charleston
Transpor thine has still ships going
and coming, and promises to continue
to load and unload general cargoes
through the summer The fine steam
or Dalmatia, which had already made
three trips across for the Transport Line
during the season, departed on her
fourth voyage to Hamburg recently,
carrying large general cargo for the
German port. Among the items in the
cargo of the Dalmatia was large con-
signment of cotton seed meal This
meal Is quite on important article OF
commerce, bnt has not heretofore &C.
cupied much room in vessels sailing
from Charleston. 1t is, therefore, to
be counted among the added features
in Charleston's export trade. The full
cargo of the Dalmatia consisted OF the
following articles: 2.159 bales of cot
ton, |, 900 tons of cotton seed meal, 300
tons of pig iron and 800 barrels OF cot
ton seed oil. The steamship Viva, from
Liverpool, is expected to arrive
at Charleston very shortly, con-
signed to the Transport Line, and will
be loaded for Liverpool with heavy
grain; wheat, cotton, -four, lumber,
slaves, cotton seed meal and rosin.
The cargo has been secured and will be
reIdy for the ship when it arrives. The
st, amship st. George ls also expected
10 arrive within week or ten days,
CO asisned to the Transport Line, with
q General cargo from Hamburg. The
We, ,el will load a general cargo for the
re, urn voyage across the water.

Mauled by a Lioness.

A lion tanner performing in Chippen-
da!e's French menagerie at Armley,
England, had narrow escape from
death last month. The victim Of the
mishap was Franco Montana, we'll
known colored tanner of wild beasts,
who has had previous experiences OF
the sort. The animal is an untamable
lioness, appropriately named Vixen"
which has been in charge of Montana,
tall, heavily built man, for the last
nine months, during which period he
has been more or less severely mauled
twenty times.
The tanner enters the cage at least
once day, and on Tuesday night,
when he went to the cage door, he
was unable for at least twenty-five
minutes to gain an entrance. Even
tually, after driving the beast to the
end of the cage, the tanner slipped in
side. The moment he did so the
lioness leaped toward him, its ugly
claws catching him by the right
shoulder, the flesh of which was
cruelty torn. The blow knocked the
man down, and the animal at once
placed one of Its paws upon its strug-
Cling victim. Attendants came up
with hot iron bars and water to beat
back the brute.
ssTo the horror OF the excited specta-
tors it tore away part of the mans
dress and inflicted injuries on the
lower part of his body. After twenty
minutes of suspense the brute was
at last driven off and the badly mauled
trainer extricated through the door
by the head keeper, Henry Wesley.
Until then Montana had retained his
senses, but now he tainted away
through loss of blood.-Correspon-
dence Chicago Chronicle.

He Took a Fort.


by name, captured almost single
handed one of the forts on the Hoogly.
The fort, which was strongly situated,
was invested by the admiral, and
Strahan during the time of midday re-
pose, wandered off "on his own hook" in
it's direction. Gaining the walls with
out discovery, he took it into his head
to scale breach made by the cannon
of the ships, and on reaching the
platform, he fourished his cutlass and
fired his pistol at "the Pathans,
shouting, "The place is mine! The
native soldiers attacked him, and he
held his own with indomitable pluck
till reinforced by one or two other
tars, who had struggled out of camp
and heard his huzZas.
The enemy, unprepared for this i'll
timed attack, and fearing further in
vaders, fled from the fort upon the
opposite side, leaving twenty cannon
and large store of ammunition.
Much to Strahan's surprise, he was
lectured by the admiral for his breach
of discipline, and he was dismissed
with hints of future punishment.
"Well," said Strahan, eff I'm fogged
for this here action, I'm blamed if

BASE BALL MAGNATES
In Session at New York Transacting the
Annual Business.

New York, Dec. 13.-The annual meet
ing of the National Base Ball League
representatives, today. attracted a large
number of base ball men to this city The
corridors of the Fifth Avenuehotel where
the delegates are to confer, We're crowded
early with presidents. managers. umpires,
players and host of outsiders. The prin-
cipal topic discussed was the change in
the management of the New York club
and the proposal to sell or trade Pitchers
Rusie and Meekin and Second Baseman
Gleason by the local organization.
Among the first to arrive at the hotel
was Buck Ewing. manager of the Cincin-
natis When asked as to whether he
would make, an offer for any Of three
New York players. Ewing said: Il would
like to get one or all of them, but can
not talk futher on the subject just now.
All the presidents of the IL clubs COM
with the exception of Freedman of the
home club, who has placed his proxy in
the hands of A. II. Soden of Boston. VINO
will look out for the interests of the New
Workers.
President and Secretary Nicholas E.
Young of Washington, was early on hand
He was buttonholed by half a dozen men
at one time, and Al Reach of Philadel-
phia. finally got the Washington man into

Der Abe, who told Young that Mr.. Muck
enfuss, the receiver of the St. Louis club
had no right to represent st. Louis in the
proceedings and that he was. here TO take
care of the Rough Riders"
The board of directors of the National
League held meeting at noon. St. LOUIS
Is to be represented on this board, but
whether Won Der Abe or Muckenfuss Will
be recognized as the representative had
not been decided at noon The business
to be transacted will consist of the
awarding of last seasons championship
adoption of the treasurer's report, some
routine matter and the settlement of the
case of First Baseman Decker. whose
services are claimed by the st, Louis CLUB
for the coming season. Chicago disputes
the point, saying that the players was
only loaned to St. Louis for the season of
1898.
At the directors meeting, Won Der Ane
and Muckenfuss We're seated at opposite
sides of the big parlor, each with a firm
resolve not to be ousted from taking part
in the proceedings. Receiver Muckenfuss
said that he represents everything con-
nected with the St. Louis CLUB, but Won
Der Abe emphatically declares that
Muckenfuss has only charge of the build
ings on the ST. Louis grounds and that
he has nothing to do with the franchise.
The meeting of the directors was adj
journed indefinitely amer a few minutes

was not in their province to decide the

There is superstition even among the
classes where it would be the least
looked for. 1t is we'll known that
among railroad men there is a great
amount of superstition, but ONE would
naturally believe the conductors would
have too much self respect, or perhaps
shat is putting it too strongly-too
much dignity, to allow any of the SUI
perstition to enter their heads. 1t is a
we'll known fact, however, that one of
the Maine Central's most popular con-
ductors would no more start out upon
a run without pink in a button hole
of his coat than he would think of
starting without am engine. 1t all
came about through his tidy notion
that always did. and ever will give him
