A teaspoonful of wbiskey once
day and no tobacco, is Russell
Sage's receipt for longevity, of
which, having just passed his
eighty-second birthday, he is a
remarkable example. The multi
millionaire is said to have celebrat-
ed the event by working just a
little harder than usual. The
receipt is not altogether difficult
one to follow, and if he would
give one as easy for accumu-
lating fortunes, he would doubly
gain the gratitude of bis fellow
men.-Columbia Record.

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 10.
NO GUILTY MAN ESCAPES

Court adjourned on Tuesday of
this week. The criminal docket
lasted seven days including the
last day, Tuesday. By consent of
the attorneys all the civil business
was continued to the November
term.
The following are the criminal
cases heard, and Solicitor Thur
mond convicted every single party
charged, a most remarkable result,
and perhaps never before has there
been such a record in Edgefeld
county, or any other county:
Henry Calhoun, murder and
carrying concealed weapon; guilty
of manslaughter.
Geo. Whitman and Rich Lundy,
house breaking and larceny; guilty,
two years in the penitentiary.
VIM. Johnson, house breaking
and larceny; plead guilty.
Ed Holloway, house breaking
and larceny; guilty, sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary.
Solomon Morse, murder and
carrying concealed weapon City
of manslaughter.
Ed Hood, alias John Hood, muir
der and carrying concealed weap-
on; guilty; recommended to the
mercy of the court.
Henry Jeff, murder and carry
ing concealed weapon; guilty of
manslaughter.
G.. w. Moore, assault and bat
terry with intent to kill; mistrial.
Isaac Settle, disturbing reli-
gious warship; guilty.
Charlie Mays, assault and bat
terry with intent to kill; guilty.
This being Judge Cages first
term at Edgefeld, It is but proper
to state that he made a very good
impression on lawyers, jurors, and
spectators as very fair and just
Judge. He balances the scales of
Justice as. exactly as it is given
mortal to do.

Extreme Diplomatic Ten
sion Between London
and St. Petersburg.
FIRM STAND
OF SALISBURY
Outcome of Dispute Regarding
Extension of New ChWany
Railroad Has Reached Crucial
Point-Active Preparations for
HOstilities.

London, Aug. 6.-That extreme
diplomatic tension exists between
St. Petersburg and London is gen.
orally admitted to-day, though the
officials deprecate the alarmist re-
ports which were current yester-
day. 1t is hoped that the frmer
stand adopted by the Marquis of
Salisbury during the last few days,
which seems to have already Gre
ated some misgiving at st. Peters
burg, will have the desired effect
of arresting Russian aggressive
ness. 1t is felt both here and on
the continent that the. outcome of
the dispute in regard to the new
Chwang railrsad extension is the
crucial point of the success or fail
ure Of Great Britain's policy of
the "open door,"
AS evidence of the fact that
Great Britin appreciates the
gravity of the situation, the
Associated Press learns that the
admiralty is preparing for all
emergencies; that il will soon be
ready to mobolize the entire fleet
at the shortest notice. Every
officer and man on furlough or on
half pay has been assigned to a
ship, and instructed to be in
readiness to join at the earliest
moment. Therefore, practically
every ship in the British navy,
whether in or out of commission at
the present moment, has its full
complement of officers nrd men
ready to take her out to sea when
the time arrives.
According to Paris advices,
Admiral Bedollier, commanding
the French-China squadron, has
cabled a demand for reinforcements
and Tor a large credit to be applied
in erecting Notifications. The
reason given for these demands is
that the natives of the Kwang
Cubou Wang region are showing
signs of hostility. But there is
some suspicion here that the &C
.tion of the French admirsl may
be connected with: a desireto back.
up Russian designs.

LARGE PRODUCTION
AND RISE OF PRICES.
The Outlook in the Business
World Very Roseate.
WEEKLY REVIEW
Effect of the Prospect Of Peace.
FirmDess i'm Prices Despite
the Mid-summer
Dizziness.

NCW OIh, Auo. u III lduoGlOOo y
tomorrow will say: The stimu-
laSing influences of the apparently
near approach of peace, coupled
with the generally expected bene-
fetal effects it is hoped will flow
from the opening up of new mar
kets in the lands added to The na-
tional domain, seems to increase as
the summer wanes. That the i'm
provement, while as yet admitted
ly one largely of sentiment, is not
entirely SO confined, however, is
proven by reports of a still further
increased distribution of staple
goods in the west, northwest aid
southwest, where the excellent crop
situation has rendered harmless
the supposed benumbing effects OF
war. So far as the crop situation
is concerned, the past week fur
nishes not the least notable con-
tribution of the year in reports
coming from the great surplus corn
producing states of beneficial rains
c1ecLinp deterioration which
threatened material damage to
this most widely grown and in
trlnsically valuable of the coun-
try's cereals. Another encourag-
ing feature of the week has been
the perceptible growth in strength
of the iron and steel situation.
Firmness in prices is a feature
of pal ticular interest, in view of
the enormous production Of pig
iron early in the year, and appar-
emily in the year, and apparently
reflects the going into consumption
of most of this immense produc-
ton, leaving stocks generally with
in comfortable limits. Encour-
aging exports demand for our ce-
reals, great steadiness in prices,
largest recorded midsummer bank
cIearings and fairly encouraging
railroad earnings, Notwithstanding
the unwillingness of farmers TO
accept present cereal values, are
additional encouraging features of
trade at the present time,
Prices are quite generally firm,
or tending upward, IN spiTe,a . of the
midsummer quietness III many
lines of trade. AS result of
operations in July, 80, or about
one-third of all staples, advanced
in value, 27 declined, while A re-
NAMED steady or unchanged. Ad-
vances in many cereals, except
wheat and -four, live beeves and
hogs, a number of provisions, dairy
products and groceries. most raw
textiles, except cotton, petroleum,
rubber, alcohol, opium and quinine
are features OF the months opera
tions. Important decreases, aside
from that in wheat, are found in
some few makes of iron and steel,
some other metals and in building
lumber. Compared with August
one year ago, 66 out of 1O4 staples
are higher, 26 are lower, and 9 are
unchanged, SO that it may be said
that, compared with a year ago,
there have been more than two ad-
vances for every decline reported.
