Congress from the third district
was born May 26, 1857. He was
educated i'll the co;Amon schools OF
his native county, and afterwards
took a course in the University of
North Carolina.
In lSS. he graduated from the
College Of Physicians and Surgeons,
Baltimore, Md. lie located in
Newberry> County, and has Since
rcsldedat Prosperity in that county,.
DR.. Wychc served in the I.cgis-
lature for six years in succession,
thus showing the confidence of his
constituents. For several wears he
was chairman of the committee on
claims, and also served on tie
ways and means aud the commit
tee on medical affairs.
Fe assisted i'll shaping and pass.
ing legislation that practically pro-
hiblts Interstate bnilding and loan
associations from doing business in
this State.
DIR. Wyche was one of the lead
ers, who, after long and stubborn
fight, succeeded in defeating the
bill providing for tie refunling of
one hundred Thousand dollars worth
of bonds alleged to have been stolen
from the State bank during the
civil war.
DR.. Wyche always strongly Sup
ported the State Board Of Health in
their efforts to prevent the spread
ing of infections and contagious dis
eases in the State.
He prepared and had adopted af-
ter a long and persistent fight a
rule that prohibits The introduction
and consideration Of numerous To-
cal bills, relating to changing vot-
ing precincts, magistrates and other
county officers, requiring that all
such bills be incorporated in one
bill reported from the proper COM
1nittee.

vocate Of biennial sessions of the
legislature. He believed, "What
South Carolina needs is, not more
laws but fewer and simpler laws,
and obedience to law"
Any bill intended to protect the
people from imposi,ions and frauds
always found in Dir. Wyche an ar
dent and uncompronising support
.er.
He was considered one Of the
safest and ablest members Of the
House.

Ammunition Manufacturers Are
Working Night and Day.

HAS the war in the Transvaal ben
efitted your business materially" the
representative of one of the large
Broadway houses dealing in ammuni-
tion was asked after his acknowledge
ment that the works he Represented
were running night and day in what is
generally the dull season Of The year
He started as if stung for that sort
of question from stranger is always
unwelcCme to people in his line OF
business.
you see, there is a revival of trap
shooting all over the country, and pig
con shooting has never had the vogue
it has at the present time. 1t is posi-
lively marvellous, this demand for
sporting material in our line" was the
way in which he dodgsd the issue
Really, he knew very little about the
sort of arms and ammunition that
were used by the Beers, and he really
didn't think that America made the
sort of stuff that the Beers were using
against the British. Guns and ammu-
milton made by his concern were in
great demand just now, ii was true,
but pigeon shooting was the only use
to which he believed they could be put
Nevertheless, the fact remains thai a

wher the goods they make are going
to when they deliver an order, and the
mere fact that they are packed in
cases marked groceries" or Canned
goods or that they are ordered ship
ped in barrels as flour" or in hogs
heads as "molasses," does not suggest
to them thatthey are intended for the
use Of the Beers. Just the same, that
is the ultimate destination of these
mysterious packages chat are quietly
shipped, mainly from New Haven,
Bridgeport and New London, on tramp
steamers or fast sailing vessels.
1--WE never trace our goods to their
destination, and whether they fetch up
in the Klondike or Delagoa Bay is a
matter of perfect indifference to us, so
long as we get our money for them.
We don't even know at our works Of
fiolally that there is war in progress
in any part o fthe globe" was the f.
nal disposition of the matter.--New

Kipling Said to Have Written
David Harum.

Philadelphia, Jan. 18.-A story has
been extensively circulated through
the east that Ruiyard Kipling is the
author of David Harum. The story
goes that Edward Box, the editor, and
Mr.. Doubleday, the publisher, made a
bet of $1,000 with Kipling that he
could not write book under an as
sumed name and make a success of it,;
that he wrote David Harum as a result
of the wager under the assumed name
of Edward Noyes Westcott and circu-
lated the report of Westcctt's Death so
that no more books would be expected
of him. The nom de plume was select
ed, the story says, because of a very
flashy waistcoat which Kipling was in
the habit of wearing and which his
friends have frequently joled him
about, saying it was too loud" 1t was
really NOISY" and from this came
Noyes Westcott.
Mr.. Alexander, M. Bok's private sec
retary, denies the story emphatically,
and phlnks it is one Of Roswell Fields
jokes. He is a brother of the late Eu-
gene Field and fond Of jokes. The ar
ticle first appeared in viii Allen
Whites Kansas paper without head
lines and it is believed now to have
been the result of bet between White
and Fields as to the advertising value
of Whites paper. 1t has caused con-
siderable discussion in the west as in
the east.

Distractions Removed.

The ccal barges which we're sunk
here by the Jim Brown on the first
rise were blown up by dynamite yes
terday by the government wrecking
boat. About six hours were occupied
in the work and about twenty $50
pound charges were used The dyna-
mite was let down in a bag and then
discharged by electricity. After each
charge huge pieces Of timber would
rise out of the water and be taken in
tow by wreckers who were waiting
near by.
This does way with the distractions
in that part of the Ohio. The barge
that went down short distance below
the mouth OF the Little Kanawha,
close to the West Virginia shore, was
not displaced.

Corner Stone Of the Capitol.

On the 18th day OF September in the
year 1893 General George Washington,
then serving in the first year of his
second term as President of the United
States, conducted the ceremonies per-
tanning to thelaying of the corner stone
Of the capitol at Washington. Masonic
Lodge No. %. of Alexandria, Va, of
which Washington was a member, held
the post of honor. Other organizations
took part but their names are not men
toned in the accounts which give a re-
sumo Of the events of that auspicious
day when Washington laid the founda-
tion of the Great Building of the Ma
tion as he had already laid the founda-
lions OF her liberties and greatness.
The people who had gathered to wit
ness the laying of the corner stone, to-
gether with the various organizations
assembled at the southeast corner of
the plat OF ground laid out for the ia
nous building and the President of the
United States with the Grand Master
on the left and the Worshipful Master
OF Lodge No. 22 advanced to the east
OF the great mcnolith that was to form
the corner stone. All the craft then
present formed a circle around the
ston to the westward, then as the mo-
mentous and solemn occasion Impress
ed itself on all present they stood for
a few moments in awed silence Then
the Grand Master delivered to the Com
missioners a large silver plate with the
following inscription engraved thereon
which was read so that all could hear
what 1t was, in the words following:
This southeast corner stone of the
Capitol Of the United States Of Amer
lea in the City of Washington was laid
on the 18th day of September, 1898, in
the 18th year of American indepen-
dence, in the first year of the second
term OF the Presidency ofGeorge Wash
ington, whose virtues in the civil ad-
ministration of this country have been
as conspicuous and beneficial as his
military valor and prudence have been
useful in establishing her liberties. and

cert with the Grand Lodge of Mary

Carlos Denman first met Della Ran
ger at a Methodist social in this city
five years age, according to the state
ment of the young ladys friends, ani
about three years ago he began pay
ing her marked attention. In Septem-
ber, 1898, she went to Columbus, and
from there to Detroit, where the alleg-
ed marriage took place. After that she
travelled with Denman and at times
they made their home in this city.
Last fall, young lady elocublonist,
whose home is in Coshccton, spent
some time in this city, and one day
met Denman and Della on the street.
She spoke to Denman, whom she knew
we'll, and afterward asked a friend
who the lady was who was with him.
The person replied that it was Den
mans wife. The lady replied chat that
was surely impossible, as Denman had
wife in Coshocton. From this re-
mark the story started which has re-
suited in an exposure of Denman's du-
plicity.
During December, a gentleman who
knows Denman, asked the latter as to
the truth of the report that he had a
wife in Coshccton, and quoted the
young lady's wolis to show where me
got his information. DeAman denied
the story in a vehement manner, even
going so far as to say that the young
lady lied. But soon after he had oc-
casion to make himself scarce in this
city, and last week Della followed him.
Della's people have always suspected
that the two were not married but the
gir1 persisted in saying that they were.
Until the Coshocton young lady first
spoke concerning the matter, there
was net the least suspicion that DEN
man had another wife living.
Della was a highly respected young
lady, and il she has been deceived by
Denman, as the reports indicate, JUS
tice in it's severest form should be met
ed out to the man whose duplicity and
perfidy have deceived her
Denman was married to Miss Cath
arine r. Hagans, of Chillcothe, fifteen
years ago, and she is now living in
OcshoctOn.

A BIGAMIST
Is Carlos Denman, Of Coshocton, and
a Marietta Girl is Wife No, 2,

The following dispatch to the Ohio
State journal from Coshocton created
a sensation here when it was read yes
terday, except to those who have been
in possession of some of the facts for
some time:
Coshocton, o., Jan. 17.-This place
was thrown into fever of excitement
this evening by the announcement that
Leslie Carlos Denman, travelling sales
man for a Chicago advertising comp
any, whose wife lives in this city, is
said to be living with another wife in
Chicago.
Until a few weeks ago, Denman was
in the employ of the Novelty Advertis-
ing company of this place.
One time at Marietta, Denman was
introduced to Miss Della Ranger, en-
ployed by Mrs. Carrie Greenway, mil
liner in that city. Miss Ranger and
Denman soon became good fhlends
but her father objected and ordered
Denman to cease his attentions. Den
man ceased visiting Della's home for
awhile, but met her al other places
and the attachment grew stronger.
In the course of time it was rumored
about Marietta that Denman had a
wife still living, but Miss Ranger was
ioath to believe the story.
In July of 1898 Della went to Co
lumbus to visit her cousin, a Mrs. Beck
and soon afterward wrote her STEP
mother that Denman asked her to meet
him in Cleveland. Shortly arberward
Mrs Ranger was notified by Mrs. Beck
that Della had left Columbus and or.
dered her trunk sent to Akron. About
New Years she was found living on
High street in Columbus as Mrs. Leslie
C. Denman. When asked about her
relations with Denman, she replied
Il am his wife. We were married in
Detroit, Sept. 26, 1898, by a justice of
the peace"
A few weeks ago Denman came to
Coshocton, settled up his business af-
fairs and announced he would there
after travel for a Chicago concern. A
few days after he telegraphed to wife
No. 2 in Marietta to join him. Last
Wednesday Della left for Chicago and
sent word back to her stepmother an
nouncing her safe arrival. Saturday
Mrs. Ranger received a postal from
Della stating her residence in Chicago
would be temporary as they INTENDED
to go to Milwaukee or some point in
Wisconsin.
Mrs. Denman No. lives in this city
with Denman's mother and is much
respected by her large circle of ac-
quaintances.
