In Memoriun.

The peaceful soul of Mr.. Buford T.
Hopkins, the dearly beloved son Of Mr..
and Mrs. E. H. Hopkins, of near Pen
dleion, was called upon Tuesday night,
5th inst, at 10 o'clock, to make its eter-
nal flight to that blissful home which
sick seven weeks with typhoid fever.
Buford was an energetic young man
and highly esteemed by all: He, was
just entering the prime OF life, and was
preparing himself with an education
from the business college at Spartan
burg, and would have finished his
course soon, but the good Lord had
higher calling for him elsewhere, and
was only calling him to it. His re-
mains were inferred at Mt. Zion ceme-
terry, at Central. He is now sleeping
in Jesus. His pastor. Rev. b. T. Reid,
of the Presbyterian Church at Pendle-
ton, preached the funeral services,
which were very appropriate.
"Come unto me, ye weary ones,
And I will give you rest"
How many souls the SaylourS words
Have comforted and blessed!
ssThen let us ever trust II Him,
And comfort He will give,
And teach our ever r-seeking souls
The truest way to way to live"
The dear, bereaved parents, brothers
and sisters have the sympathy OF all
their friends. May God bless them and
give them all strength to bear this trial,
and God grant that itmay be Overshad-
owed with rich blessings to the be-
reayed ones. 5. II. >.

Mr.. Hawkes. has all the modern ap-

There is no Optician in the United
States who enjoys the confidence OF the
people more than Mr.. Hawkes.. His
name is familiar word throughout
section of the country inhabited by
over twenty-five millions OF people.
Mr.. Hawkes. has probably fitted glasses
to the eyes Of more people OF national
and international fame than any other
optician living. His wonderful success
is due to his superior grade OF glasses;
and to the confidence the people have
in his ability as a practical Optlclan.
This firm was established in 1870, near

A Magistrate Who is Doing His Duty.

ED1roRs INTELL1GENCER: On the first
page Of last issue of The INTELLIGENT
GER reference is made for the second
time this year to law on the Statute
books of South Carolina, which, you
claim, is very much a dead letter. Ihe
law referred to is an Act to prevent
drunkenness and shooting upon the.
highway, approved the 3rd day OF
March, 1899. On page 720 of the Acts
of the General Assembly, of 1898, ap-
proved Dec. 18th, is an Act "t0 declare
fntoxication, the use of vulgar, obscene,
snrofane language or disorderly conduct
on any highway or public place or pub
Tic gathering, misdemeanor." Under
these two Acts the Magistrates docket
of Savannah Township shows that ten
persons have been convicted for these
offenses. Nine of those persons have
paid fines and costs to the amounts OF
1926. .95. and one was committed to thir-
ty days hard labor on the County chain
gang. viii but one exception, these
fDerSOils WIRE negroes, and the offences
were nearly all committed on Sunday.
It is no unusual thing in this, Savannah
Township, to hear the report OF many
I3istol shots during Sundays and Sun
day nights, fired by persons travelling
upon the public highways. Possibly in
no other section Of the State are such
offepses committed or the law would
noG be so dead as the INTELL1GENCER
seems to think. 1t is not the ::crnnose
of the writer to enter protest to the
references referred to in the INTELL1-
GENcER, but to commend the persistent
efforts of the INTELLIGENCER in keep
ing before the minds of the people OF
South Carolina their duty and privilege
In regard to law and order.

CATTLE ARE SUFFERING
A Renewal of the Storm Means
Heavy Loss.
CROWD ON TO THE TRACK
Cattle Are Beginning to Bunch Along
the Line of the Great Falls &
Canada-A Providential Chi
nook Is the Only Hope.

Great Falls, Feb. 10.-The renewal of
the storm during last night and to-day
is causing fear among the stockmen
While the stock have until the past
two weeks been in exceptionally fine
condition, it is not to be expected that
they can go through several weeks of
the present weather unnjured. Where
the land is fenced up and the feeding
OF stock becomes a necessity, which
is anticipated before winter sets in,
there will be no suffering, but to the
north and the northeast of the city,
where the great unfenced ranges lie,
there is bound to be heavy losses IN
less a providential chinook sets in at
once. Parties from Shelby Junction,
and north of there, reported a few days
ago that the winds had drifted the
snow so that sufficient range was left
bare to support the cattle. Later re-
ports from men arriving over the mar
row guage to-day state that the cat
tie are punching along the railway
track and the trainmen are obliged fire.
quently to go out and actually drive
them off the track before the train is
able to proceed. This means that con-
ditions further east must be very bad.

Great Falls, Feb. 10.-Mrs. N. F. Pet
tfngill, who was arrested last night on
a charge of assault, appeared before
Judge Race this morning and pleaded
not guilty and her trial was set for
Monday morning. There seems to be
several stories concerning the trouble
and nothing is definite save the pres
ence of three women, the accused, the
complaining witness, Mrs. Hannah Con-
ner, and a witness, Mr.. Emmett: also
an axe, pitchfork. a shovel and a
barn. The witnesses agree about these
silent witnesses and also that Mrs. Pet
tingill kept cCw in the barn, which
she rented of Mrs Conner Then the
stories diverge very widely and only
the trial and Philadelphia lawyer will
be able to entangle the skein. Mrs
Conner says that she went over to col
lect her rent from Mrs. Pettingill and
that the latter attacked her with an
axe. She shows a cash in her arm in
confederation of her story. The bal
ance of the testimony shows that Mrs.
Conner in her rent interview attempted
to abuse her tenant and either made
the attack herself and was worsted
or was really attacked. The shovel and
pitchfork played a somewhat shadowy
part in the transaction, and it is doubt
fuI if the story. is ever Strengthened
out. Mrs. Pettingill promptly supplied
$500 bonds, but declined to employ an
attorney, stating that she did not need
one to prove herself innocent No fur

COMMERCE ON 500 AND suEz.
Magnitude of Trade of Great Lakes In
'vites Attention of Government.

'vites Attention of Government.
The Suez canal carries much of the
commerce of a hemisphere-1nuch, in
deed, of the exchangsable products of
the earth. The Sault Ste. Marie canals
carry so much of the business of the
northwest as does not go by rail. The
SueZ canal is open the year round. The
Sault canals about eight months. The
latter closed for the year 1898 Decem-
Der IA, having been open al days, as
against 365 for the Suez. The volume
of commerce via the Sault was q ,234,-
664 tons; that of the Suez for the year
about 100000 tons. The internal wat
erway commerce of the United States
in eight months exceeded that between
Asia and the western world by way of
Suez by 100000 tons.
Excepting three or four items, each
insignificant save flour, the years bust
ness of the Sault shows an increase all
along the line. Silver ore fell off from
five tons to nothing. Flour shipments
decreased 10 per cent, the total for the
season being 7.77S,043 barrels. Wheat
and grain increased II per cent, to a to-
tai of SS,41S, $50 bushels. In carrying the
business by the Sault route 17,161 yes
sells were employed. an increase of 8
per cent, to be improved on next year.
according to the shipbuilding pro-
gramme under contract at this time
The value of the commerce moved
through the Sault the past season is
placed at $2200OO,000 This business
paid to shipoWners about SIS 900, 600. The
value of the vessels engaged is placed
at SAG, 100000. fi5
The Canadian government construct
ed at great expense a canal around ST.
Mary's Falls in it's own territory, hop
ing to secure for Canadian vessels a
larger share of the commerce of the
lakes, as well as to have a route Of it's
own from the lower lakes into Superior
in case of war. The latter object is Sc
cured. OF the commerce of 1898 81 per
cent. was carried in United States bot
toms.
The national government gives little
attention to the carrying trade of the
great lakes The treasury department
has at times urged the establishment of
permanent bureau ito have charge of
lake statistics, but nothing has come
of it. The figures of the immense bust
ness of 1898 direct attention to the sub
ject anew, but the short session of con-
gress is not a favorable time for action.
May be 1899, surely at no very distant
period the collection of statistics Of the
| business of our inland seas will not be
| left entirely to private enterprise. Urg-
| ing the wisdom of establishing such a
| bureau, the Buffalo Express says:
''Inere are lessons Ior the pracIlcal
| men, too, on the great lakes. We think
we have solved some shipping prob
| lens, that we do some things better
| here than they are done on the sea-
| board. We believe we have better sail
