Texas OIL.

Senator Mills, OF Texas, 10 receiving
congratulations because he has struck
oil. One does not generally associate
oil fields with Texas, but there are
numerous flowing wells in the region
Of Corsicanaf the homo of the Sena-
tor, and they are on his property.
1--WE found oil" said tho Senator,
yesterday ,r"when boring for artesian
water. AT "a depth OF about 1000
feet oil was discovered, and now out
of % oil wells that have been sunk
oil is flowing from %. We are getting
altogether from 5000 TO 6 1000 barrels
a day. My interest in the venture is
not very large, but when leave the
Senate / shall go back 10 Corsicana
and shall not lack for business to
keep me occupied. We have also
tapped great deal of gas, but, Of
course, that is not so easily handled
as oil. We shall use it, however, for
manufacturing and lighting purposes
in the neighborhood of the wells. -

General Buffers Report.

Washington, Jan. 80.-Gsneral N :.
G. Butler was given q hearing by the
Senate committee on military affairs
today, in regard to affairs in Havana,
where he has been recently stationed
as one Of the evacuation commission.
He gave detailed account OF the re-
cent clashes In that city between the
Spanish soldiers and Cubans. He
expressed the opinion that General
Brooke's order forbldding participa-
ton in the evacuation ceremonies by
the Cubans was necessary precau-
ton. and that il it had not been is
sued there would have been trouble.
The Spanish residents were exceed
ingly nervous. At the same time, he
thought the Cubans should be treated
literally and allowed to participate
to Il considerable extent in the con-
duct Of public affairs. He believed
that the Cuban soldiers could be
utilized, and that il there was an or
gsnizsd force Of such soldiers under
American command they could be
utilized in maintaining order, even
among the Cubans. He dwelt at
some length upon the excessive taxes
imposed under the old system.
General Butler expressed the opin-
ion that in time tho Cuban people
would be capable Of self-government,
but that they should be given an op-
portunity to quiet down and get used
| to q more liberal administration than
they had ever known. He said in re-
ply to question from Senator Car
tor, that . census of the Cubans
would be advisable.

Rev. Thomas Curtis, DID.

An extract taken from a private
letter kept by an old Chester pupil
Of 1S47:
Very early in life he formed an
acquaintance which remained unin-
terrupted for many years, with DIR.
Adam Clarke; they spent much time
together in examining tho Bible. He
was associated with S. T. Coleridgs,
and was himself editor of the Ency-
clopedia Metropolitan; this, think
was the greatest literary work Of his
life. DR.. Cox, of London, was also
associated with, them, and Sergeant
Talford, DR.. J. Mason Good. In this
work, which also embraced Charles
Richardson's Dictionary, the propri-
etors, of whom he was one, failed.
He then resolved to leave England
for America. Previous to this under
taking with the Metropolitan he had
been engaged in preparing the Bible
ior the British Bible Society for pub
lication, he having pointed out in
pamphlet addressed to the Arch
Bishop 1000 errors in the author
lied edition."
On his way to America he was cast
away on the coast Of Nova Scotia and
was only saved, with his children, by
being drawn on shore by rope, los
ing all his baggage and many valuable
Mss. At one time he WAS connected
with the Electric Review Of London,
and it is also said, to have reported
the debates in Parliament. He came
to America in 33, and was first settled
in Maine; in '3S he came south and
settled in Georgia, in ~ he was
called to Wentworth street Baptist
church, Charleston. In this relation
he remained until '43, then he estab-
lished the Female High School at
Limestone Springs, Spartanburg Dis
trict.-South Carolina Baptist.

A Pretty Story Spoiled BY the
Truth.

do not exaggerate in tho least
when say that, as we hauled Of into
tho bay, the gloom on the bridge OF
the Olympia was thicker than q fog
in November. Neither Commodore
dewey nor any of the staff believed
that the Spanish ships had been
sufficiently injured by our fire to pre-
vent them from renewing the battle
quite as furiously AZ they had pre-
viously fought. Indeed, we had all
been distinctly disappointed in the
results Of our fire Our projectiles
seemed to go too high or too low-just
as had been the case with those fired
at us by the Spsniards. Several
times the commodore had expressed
! dissatisfaction with the failure of our
gunners to hit the enemy. We had
begun the firing at too great dis
tance, but we had gradually worked
in further on each of the turns until
we were within about 2 800 yards at
the close of the fifth round. At that
distance in Il smooth sea, we ought
to have made Il large percentage Of
hits; yet, so far as we could Judge
we had not scnsibly crippled the foe.
Consequently Commodore Dewey
hauled out into the open bay at the
end of the fifth round TO take stock
of ammunition and devise new plan
of attack.
The gun captains were we'll salts
fled with the results Of their work.
Whether they had a better knowledge
of the accuracy of their aim than we
had on the bridge, or whether they
took it for granted that the enemy
must have suffered severely after so
much fighting, do not know; but at
any rate, they were eager TO go On
with the battle, and were confident
of victory. told one of them that
We were merely hauling off for break
fast, which statement elected the ap-
peal to Capt. Lambsrton, rs he came
past moment later:
'For Gods sake, captain, don t lot
US stop now. To hell with break
fast!"
When | told the commodore that I
intended to attribute our Withdrawal
to the need for breakfast, he inti-
mated that it was not a matter of
much Importance what reason gave,
30 long as I did not give the true one.
And 80 the breakfast episode went to
the world as a plausible excuse for
what seemed like an extraordinary
strategic maneuver-one which has
been the subject Of more comment
than any other event during the bat
tie. Many people have said to mo
that 1T would be II pity to spoil so
good story by telling the truth; but,
as the commodore will be sure to lot
the cat out Of the bag some day,
may as we'll let her have her freedom
now. :. Stickney in Harper's
Magazine.

The General Assembly.

The Legislators began their week.
work as though they desired to finish
and return home. Monday the 23C
instant many routine matters were
disposed Of. The lien law called forth
the most earnest discussion Of the
session. A bill to repeal it, except
for rent, was introduced by Mr. Yer
ner. After considerable talk mo-
tion to continue the bill till,the next
session, was lost in the House, the
vote being AZ to 55. There were 22
members absent or not voting. or the
Spartanburg members CAN'T, Hy-
driok, Sanders aad West voted to con-
! tinue and Dean for consideration
now.
! Tuesday was election day. The great :
est interest centered around the office
of superintendent ofthe pententiary.
But it proved no race at all as Sena-
tor Griffith Of Lexington, received II
votes and bofore the count. was
finished about 20 more went to him
OF the Spartanburg delegation Sena-
tor Archer, Representatives Dean,
Sanders voted for Griffith; CAN'T, tor
Neal; West, for Crum. Three direc-
tors Of the pcnitcntiary We're elected.
They are \. k. Sanders, Sumter: +.
j. Cunningharl Chester: W. S. Odcll
Pickcus. Two members Of the State
board OF control were also elected.
r. G.. Robinson, of Pickcns, aud j. B.
Douthit, the incumbent, had Il short
race. 1t was first announced that
Douthit had won. A recount was
demanded, when Robinson was de-
clarcd the winner'by two votes. b.
III. Bvykins, of ksrsllaw. WIS elected
on first ballot as the second member
OF the board. John L. Sloan, j. l..
Withers and J. Q. Davis were elected
trustees of the South Carolina Col
lege. Miss Mamie Montgommery Of
Marion, was elected State librarian.
Wednesday tho lien law was killed
in the House and buried. The re-
districting bill offered by Mr.. Patton,
Of Richland, was discussed in an in
telligent manner and passed the sec
ond reading in the House. Unless
the Senate r6 jects it, there will he
reorganization of Congressional dis
tricts and breaking Of old states and
a making Of now ones. Several dis
peRsary bills have been offered, but
it is probable the one granting each
county the privilege OF deciding
whether they want the dispenssry,
prohibition or high license will be
the one discussed. 1t is difficult to
predict what the final result will be.
The amendments to the couTty gov
ernment bill had not been touched
up to last Thursday. That will, no
doubt, be considerably changed.
After the elections last week both
Houses settled down to regular work.
The county court bill will cause much
discussion. 1t looks as it might be-
come Il law. There is also a bill to
create two new judicial districts.
The dispensary legislation is in II
chaotic State. 1t is probable that
there will he no radical change at
this session. The bill to reduce the
tag tax and to pay it into the State
treasury has caused much talk. The
Senate will act on the redistricting
bill this week. The committee re-
ported favorably on the House bill.
The real legislative battles will begin
this week.

rIrrrrR TO mrs. prsxHAM NO. 1s,7,,l

II am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years I had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling Of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
"I underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permis-
sion to 60 back to work. I Iwent back,
but in less than week was COM
pelled to give up and go to bed. On

ments and medicine.
