Silver Vase Over a Century Old
Unearthed in Columbia.

On Wednesday last a colored
man unearthed a silver vase or
punch bowl while excavating in
the park. The bowl is about 10
inches high with cover complete,
and as bright as new. 1t bears
the following inscription, Pre-
sented to James Stead for killing
SO out of SO; Feb. s, $780," with
deer engraved on the bowl. The
bowl with cover weighs 2a pounds
The find is valuable one. The
date indicates that the bowl came
to its burial place shortly after
the city of Columbia was located
here. AT that period the hill
above the park held about all the
houses there wero in the place.
The history of the bowl, other
than that indicated by the inscrip
ton will no doubt never he known

CONVICTIONS BY FOURS.
Darien Rioters Offer No Defense
Court Sitting Day and Night
to Dispose ofCases.

Darien, Ga, Sept THE jury
in the case of Ben Dunham, James
Wylly, Marshall Dorsey, Louis
underwood and Maria Curry,
charged with rioting, returned a
verdict Of guilty at a late hour
this afternoon.
The jury was out only about
Is minutes.
None of the rioters will be
sentenced until the end of the
session.
The entire day has been CON-
sumed by the superior court in
the trial of this first group of the
rioters. Twelve witnesses testi.
fed for the State. The defense
did not introduce any testimony
The proceedings of the court
were monotonous, the witnesses
testifying to the facts as already
detailed in the newspapers.
The evidence of MIR T A Bailey
and Sheriff T 3 Blunt established
the fact that they were deferred
from taking Henry Delegal from
Darien to Savannah by the pres
ence and violent attitude of the
negroes.
The afternoon was consumed
in the arguments of the attorneys.
The cases against Jonah Green,
Moses Miller, Lawrence Baker,
Josephine Byrd and Abraham
Green were called as soon as the
jury retired to make their verdict
in the other case.
The court is in session tonight
and will continue to sit day and
night until all the cases are dis
posed of. Court will doubtless
be in session for nearly quite a
week longer as the murder and
rape cases are yet to be heard.
Riot under the Georgia law is u
misdemeanor, the maximum pun
ishment being twelve months i'm
prisonment or 81, 900 fine, or
both.

Cotton Seed For Pigs.

Speaking of fattening pigs the
other day, a Yorkvllle gentleman
remarked that the cheapest feed
he ever had anything to do with
was cotton seed. The seed should
BE cooked, of course. He went
on to say that one year, when
other kinds of feed was scarce. he
put four small pigs in a pen and
fed them nothing but cooked cot
ton seed. He had the m up about
eight months altogether, and when
he slaughtered them they netted
from 200 to 225 pounds each. To
feed raw cotton seed to pigs is
generally understood to be danger

TO JOIN WATSONS FLEET
The Ranger Has Been Substituted for the
Badger
Sailing of the Nashville for Gibraltar
on Her Way to Manfla-Other
Naval Movements.

The Navy Department has substituted
the Ranger for the Badger as one of the
reinforcing fleet for the Philippines. The
Badger, upon examination, was found to
require repairs so extensive in character
as to make 1t impossible for her to get Off
for long time. On the other hand the
Ranger is just out of the navy yard and
| is in excellent condition. She has not yet
been put into commission. so the depart
ment has given orders for the transfer to
her of the entire personnel of the Badger,
from Capt. Miller down to the enlisted men.
The Ranger is said to be particularly well
suited to subtropical climates from her con-
struction.
The Machias weighed anchor about $40
o'clock this morning and sailed from Alex
andria for Boston there to fit out for Ma
Mia. The Marietta, which is also under
orders for the same place, is now at Lam
bert Point, taking on coal for the cruise.
The Nashville sailed today from San Juan.

should reach in ten days. She is likewise
bound for Manila, and is the first of the
reinforcing fleet to get off.

Washington navy yard from Alexandria.
where she took part in the sesqui-centen-
NAL celebration. She is under orders to
proceed to the Caribbean sea. for the pur-
pose of making survey of an imperfect
ly charted section Of the South American
coast. It is expected that she will start
within few days. The gunbOat Marietta
which had been previously assigned to this

paratus to the Dolphin at Alexandria.

TAMESESE DECLARED KING.
Action of Samoan Natives In Def
ancc of Agreement.

CHICAGO October IA special cable
to the Tribune from Berlin says:
News comes from ADia that the natives
have proclaimed Tennessee as king. despite
the recent agreement of the United States,
Germany and Great Britain to abolish the
office.
The Cologne Gazette's Apia correspond
ent sends long indictment of the con-
sular government. He says the natives do
not conceal their disrespect for the repre-
sentatfves of the treaty powers, relating
a singular incident as an illustration
Tamesese invited the officials and the lead
ing white citizens of ADia to wedding
feast All went except the Germans. The
American consul, Osborne, made speecha
thus giving the affair official recognition
Thereupon Tamesese's followers danced
and sang impromptu verses proclaiming
Tamesese as king, and announcing the de-
struction of the opposing natives If they
resisted his authority.
When the letter was mailed, September g.,
hundreds of Tamesese's and Tanu's fol-
lowers were gathered at ADia preparing
to swear allegiance before the eyes of the
foreign consuls by presenting gifts and at
testing homage. The letter says a New
Zealand lawyer named Gurr is managing
the affair.
