Run Caused by Report That an OIL
Ger was Specializing.

Columbia. S. c.. Feb. 5-No official
statement has yet been made as to the
affairs Of the Commercial and Farmers
Bank OF Rock Hill that suspended Satur-
day. 1t was promised to-day but had not
been prepared. The sixty days run made
on the bank is only explained by the re-
port that one of its officers was known
to have dealt largely in cotton futures.
1t is surmsed that while at last reports
he had won $4,000, that the knowledge of
his speculation caused uneaslness.
That the fears were groundless is
shown by the banks condition. Capital
lied at $50 go. only $4,000 had been paid
in Loans had been made to the extent
of $4,000. Its assets could not be realz-

THEY WANT A RAILROAD.
Citizens of Geneva After the Chatta-
hOOchee and Gulf.

A committee of citizens of Geneva, Ala,
consisting of W. c. Afford j. r. Ne
Lane and Jere Merritt, was in the city
yesterday in the hope of seeing Savan-
nahians interested in railroad properties
and inducing them to build to their town
1t is not known that they accomplished
anything as they went away during the
afternoon without having seen the gentle
men who would probably have been bet
ter able than anyone else to give them
satisfactory information upon the subject
they desired to discuss.
Geneva is near the Florida line, in the
southeastern section of Alabama The
citizens want a railroad. The Chattahoo-
chez and Gulf of which Mr. E. T. Conner
is president and other Savannah gentle
men are officials directors and STOCKHOLM
ers, has been surveyed and is being con-
structed. The line has been practically
completed from Columbia to Dothan, a
distance of thirty-one miles Dothan is
about ten miles north of Geneva, the
citizens of which latter place would like
TO see IL make curve toward them. Such
is not the intention of the company, how
ever. aud the line will be continued for
some miles westward, to just what place
is not known.
1t is the intention of the Chattahoochee
and Cuff company to build through a sec
ton that has hitherto been untouched by
a railroad. 1t is believed a good business
can be had from the start and that it
will grow steadily. When the line is
completed it viii be turned over to the
Centrai of Georgia for operation. that line
already operating as faT as Columbia. The
Central win have the Chattahoochee ana
Gulf by lease from the company that
builds it.

A bill was introduced in the state Senate
Thursday to require that the dividends

A new REPUBLIC.
1t Has Been Established in In
terror of South America.

Chicago, Nov. PA Chronicle special
from Denver, says:
Henry w. Phillips, the first minister
to the United States from the New
South American republic of Acre, regis
tered here from Arieopolis "Arieopolis,' -
said Mr.. Phillips, ''is the capital city Of
the republic Of Acre, the First republic
we like to call it by way of variation,
and some call US the rubber republic.

known, being new and to secure formal
recognition on the part of the United
States is in fact my mission. I believe
this is the first time that Arieopolis has
been written on any American hotel reg
lister; for did not stop at San Francisco
on my arrival from South America, be-
ing IN a hurry to be at Washington be-
fore the opening Of congress"
The Chronicle in reference to the
above says:
During the past Is months a new re-
public known by the name of Acre has
sprung up in the forest country lying
partly in Brazil and party in Bolivia. It
has been established by a rich Brazilian
banker and rubber dealer named Aries,
who has sent himself up as president of
a community of about 10000 people, all
of whom are in his employ Demonstra-
tions have been made against the little
country by both Brazil and Bolivia.

RESTORE HANGING

Death Penalty May Act as a

His Idea of Why 1t Should Be

Kansas Has Over 40 COnvicts
Sentenced to Hang.

Governor Stanley will. in all probabil-

legislature. the restoration Of capital
punishment, which means death by
hanging, in Kansas
Mr.. Stanley has not fully made up his
mind on this subject at this time, but he
is inclined to look with favor upon tine
restoration of the statute providing the
death penalty for criminals
There are now in the Kansas pentten-
tfarv about 40 prisoners under sentence
of death. which in Kansas, is now life
Imprisonment
Governor Stanley is making now
study of the subject. his main purpose
being to ascertain the relative statistics
in states where capital punishment is
imposed.
THE matter presents itself to me in
this way" said the governor today. IF
capital punishment tends to lessen mob
violence, then~it is worthy of considera-
tion.
ION the other hand, if the statistics
which am collecting should show more
examples of mob law and executions by
mobs in states where capital punish
ment exists, the system will not com
mend itself to my consideration, 50 far

TRIP ACROSS FRANCE
President Kruger Received Continu-
Gus Ovation Along the Route.


Dion, France. Nov. 24.-Mr. Kruger
has become for the moment at least
the popular idol of the French. His
triumphant progress northward through
the country through Marsei1les to Dijon,
has placed this beyond doubt. He met
with a tremendous reception in each
town along the route where the train
stopped eliminating in scenes of
frenzied enthusiasm here calculated to
turn the head of any man.
The population of Marseilles gathered
in thousands to escort him to the rail-
road station and gave him a rousing
send off, while at Tarascon, .Avigon,
Valencia, Lyons, Macol and Dijon the
inhabitants who crowded the railway
stations made the rafters tremble with
enthusiastic shouts of ''Vive Kruger"
and ''NiVe Les Beers" "
The demonstration was all the more
significant because it shows that the
fervid acclamations at darseilles were
not merely an explosion of exuberance
on the part of the warm hearted ana
sentiments shared with even greater
intensity by the usually less demonstra-
tive and colder blooded inhabitants of
the northern provinces.
The warmth of the enthusiasm in
creased instead of decreasing, as might
have reasonably been expected from the
difference in character of the inhabit-
ants of the provinces through which Mr.
Kruger passed, but one of the most i'm
portant phases of the demonstration
was the turn it took in an anti British
direction. The few criminally foolish
English whose ill-timed levity at the
Hotel du Louvre in Marseilles exasper-
ated the people in the streets there never
dreamed of the serious consequences of
their act. They sowed the wind, and to-
day the English people are reaplng the
whirlwind. The news of the supposed
insult to Mr. Kruger seems to have
spread across France and at all stations,
but especially at Lyons and Dijon
shouts for the Beers were mingled with
loud cries of Down with the English"
Indeed, at Lyons the denunciations OF
the English drowned the shouting for
the Beers. This is a disturbing feature
which is universally discussed. Fears
are expressed that tOmOrrOW'S s reception
Paris may assume a character calcu-
lated to arouse the feeling of Great
Britain against France to such an ex-
tent as to result in unpleasant rela-
tions between the two countries The
warmth of the enthusiasm reached in
Marseilles yesterday palpably raised
the spirits of Mr.. Kruger and his ad
visers to a high pitch The faces of DR.
Leyds, Mr.. Fischer and others which on
the eve of the arrival of Mr.. Kruger
revealed the anxiety they felt regarding
his reception. were today Gghtd up with
happiness and confidence. Evidently
hope had revived in all that his mis-
sion to Europe would be crowned with
success
Mr.. Fischer spoke 70 Mr.. Kruger re-
garding the visit of the Boer envoyS TO

reception and welcome they had recelv-
ed there from the American people He

BURIES HIS PAST.
Duke of Manchester Starts For
u. s. Full of Hope.

London, Nov 24.-The last person to
board the American line train for
Southampton at the Waterloo station
this morning was the duke of Manches-
ter who had a great deal of baggage
to attend to and was just in time to
jump into his compartment as the train
moved out of the station. The ducai
party, including the three Misses Evans.
aunts of the bride, arrived in cabs a
quarter hour before the train started
simultaneously with them came Sheriff
I.awrence's state carriage. The public
and railway officials mistook the latter
for the conveyance of the duke and
duchess and their cabs passed almost
without notice.
The duke was attired in a blue fan
mel suit with tan shoes and shaggy
Scotch travelling cap and the bride wore
a long astrakan cloak
The duke and duchess had their first
interview yesterday with the dowag
duchess who was quite i'll. Their re-
ception was most cordial, and in the
evening there was a family dinner at
the home of Mrs. Lister-Kaye, aunt of
the duke.
The duke explained that the ceremony
in the Marylebone church was regarded
more in the light of a legal contract
than as a wedding, which it was expect
ed would be more fully solemnized at
ST Thomas, New York.

a recent report received at the war de-
partment which says that Rev. J. C.
Goodrich, the agent of the American
Bible society in Manila, has established
headquarters there and IS busily en-
gagged in distributing the scriptures in

lands. DR.. Goodrich is now working on
other translations of the Gospel into
