Fired from Window.
The bullet which struck Mr.. Goe-
bel was fired from q window in the
center of the third story of the Office
building just east of the capitol. That
window was raised about eight inches
from the sill to permit an unobstruct-
ed passage for the bullet when Mr.
Goebel should come within range.
Denounce the Deed.
The republican state officials and
members of the legislature, without ex-
ception, denounced the shooting in the
most unmeasured terms. Gov. Taylor
Immediately caused a small address to
be published in which he declared the
affair to be disgrace, and an outrage,
and calling for the most sober con-
demnation. He sent orders at once to
A6it. Gen. Collier directing him to take
steps for the preservation of order.
Gen. Collier is republican and is op-
posed to Mr.. Goebel. He declared the
shooting to be most cowardly affair,
and one that upon every consideration
was to be regretted. -. Il

He lost no time in making speeches,
however, and before Goebel had been

tion that Mrs. Gilbert S. Reid and

Mrs. Reid were in Pekin during the
terrible seige the foreigners had to un-
dergo and for long time nothing defi.
mite was heard from them. Mrs. Reid

Negro Murderer Pardoned.

Major Anderson, colored, who was
convicted in Charleston at the summer
term Of court and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, has been pardoned by the
governor. The case presents some
pathetic circumstances, although An
derson was foul murderer. When ne
YVES brought to trial he was nearly
dead with consumption and he had to
be lifted to the prisoners dock by the
court officials. 1t was so evident tho,
the negro was in the last ages OF
consumption that Solicitor Jervey eZ-
pressed a willingness to continue the
case. The defense, however, insisted on
a trial and the negro was found guilty,
with a recommendation to mercy.
County Physician B. NJ. Lebby says
Anderson is in the last stages OF tuOer-
culosis and that he can not live many
days. Sheriff Martin endorses the re-
commendation of the county physician.
The jurors who tried the case, Solici-
tor Jervey, end Judge Buchanan united
in asking that pardon be granted.

Sag MILLS.
Good Showing Made by Them During
the Year.

spartanburg, Special.-The annual
meetings OF the stockholders OF tho
Spartan Mills and the Whitney Mill
were held Monday. A semi-annual div
idend OF per cent. for the Spartan
Mill was declared, and a semi-annual
dividend of 3 per cent. for the Whitney
Mill At this meeting were number
o. Northern capitalists largely interest
cd in Southern cotton mills. among
ghem being Mr.. Seth NJ. Milliken OF
New York. Mr.. Stephen Greene Of Bos-
ton, Mass, and Mr.. Sampson, Of Bos-
ton. The affairs Of the aboye-men-
toned mills were found to be in excel
lent condition, according to the reports.
The annual meeting OF the Lockhart
Mill was held at Lockhart Tuesday.
There is to be a 100000 cotton mill
built at Inman. The progressive peo-
PIE of this town, which is situated on
the Charleston and Western Carolina
railroad, have subscribed literally to
the enterprise, and it is no longer a
project or agitation, bu: an assured
fact. Mr.. Jas. A. Chapman, a we'll
known member of the Spartanburg bar,
will be president and treasurer Of the
factory. A meeting of the stockhold-
ers will be held on Wednesday, at
which meeting the board of directors
and officers will be chosen.
This new factory is only following in
the line of Spartanburg county as the
leading mill county in the South. Mr..
Chapman, who is at the head of the
enterprise, is a gentleman we'll fitted
for the position, being a thorough busi-
ness man. He practiced law very sue
ces=fully in Middlesboro, KY, for a few
years in the past, but two years ago
returned to this city, his former home.
No doubt under his supervision the
new plant will flourish and prosper.

PHOSPHATE INDUSTRY.
May Be Doomed by Chemists Re-
cent Discovery.

Beaufort, Special.-The recent an
nouncement of the discovery, by New
York chemist, that ton Of phosphate
rock can be made to produce $50 worth
of phosphorus, Is causing considerable
speculation here, where the phosphate
industry has for many years been the
chief source OF support to many citi-
zens. The deposits Of the products IN
the beds of the numerous streams in
this section is we'll nigh inexhaustibIe,
notwithstanding the fact that in the
past twenty years prodiguous quanti-
ties have been mined by the several
companies engaged in the business.
each vieing with each other in procur-
ing dredges capable Of digging the
greatest number of tons in given Pc
riod of time. At present there Is slight
avtivity among these phosphate comPa-
nies, several of which have suspended
operations indefinitely owing, it Is
said, to the fact that there Is a famine
in foreign bottoms in which the great
er portion of the phosphate rock has
been exported in past years. The Coo
saw company, which is the largest and
oldest corporation in the business here.
has several thousand tons Of rock in
its immense dry sheds ready for the
market, and was compelled to lay up
several Of its dredges, owing to lack
Of space for the accommodation OF
more rock. 1t is the opinion of men
who are familiar with the enterprise
in all it's details, that If the new dis
covery withstands a practical test, the
industry will again become immensely
profitable and bring a good measure Of
prosperity to this section.

NEED OF STATE GE0LOGIST.
Hany Inquiries Received About the
States 7ineral Resources.

Clemson College. Special Prof..
Lewis, of the department of Geology
and Mineralogy. frequently receives
| letters Of inquiry from all parts of tho
| country in regard TO the geology and
[ general resources CT South Carolina.
Many of these are from wealthy mine
operators and owners OF smelling
| plants both in the East and in thc
West, who are looking for investments
in South Carolina with view 10 open
up mines. The Stale is practically un-
explored, so far as most Of its mineral
resources are concerned, and naturally
the large smelling and mining con-
Germs look to it as possible field for
the expansion of their industries.
The following letter from NJ. Gugsen-
helms Sons, New York, owners Of the
Great National Smelling Co., Monte
ray, Mexico, the Philadelphia Smelling
and Refining Co.. Pueblo, Colorado,
and the Guggenhein Smelling Co., with
works at Perth Amboy, n. j.. and
Aguas Calieutes, Mexico. may be taken
as "a type Of the numerous requests for
maps and publications.:
Dear Sir: Will you kindly forward
to US such publications as have been vs.
sued under state supervision for free
distribution, bearing upon the geology
of your State? If there are any such
publications for which payment is re-
uuired we would thank you very mucn
to send us a list of same with prices
and directions as to whom remittances
should be directed.
Thanking you in anticipation OF your
kind attention, we remain,
Yours very truly,
NJ. Guggenheimer's Sons.
Many ask for information upon par
ticular subjects Of which the following
are recent examples: Water powers,
tale zinc. trap rock granite. minerals
suitable for gems or ornamental pur-
poses, ochre, iron ores, kaolin and pot
terry clay, coal, corundum, etc.
Unfortunately no satisfactory answer
can be given to such inquiries. For
more than half a century South Caro-
lima has had no geological survey and
there are no publications and no lntor-
nation available upon any OF the
States natural resources.
Surely if the State is ever to have a
geological and natural history suryey,
now is the time to inaugurate it. The
State has never before been so pros
porous or so we'll able to bear the ex-
pense Of the work, and there has never
been time when reliable Information
of the kind would be Of such value as
now. Commerce and manufacturing
have made such enormous progress
that the people have apparently forgot
ten one of their most important assets,
and one that might readily be made TO
contribute largely to the general pros
perity.
