LIGHT.

The very first requirement OF the
primitive man is food, the next, cloth
ing, the next shelter and then he
passes from the requirements of the
purely animal body to those of little
higher plane and demands light and
heat and companionship. In the proc
ess of evolution the very first evidence
of a development beyond the animal
stage, in which man was a carnivorous
beast of prey, killing and devouring,
raw, animals less strong than himself,
was the employment of fire for heat,
for light, and later for cooking.
1t is strange that nature should have
so fashioned adult man that he cannot

over to darkness, and it is
tocorrect this fault in his
structure that for all time
man has devoted a large
part of his energies to-
wards producing means
for artificial illumination
which would lengthen
the day and shorten the
night.
The demand for light is
as natural q demand as
that for food. An evil
dence of the fact that
this is a natural demand,
is the raridity with
which any industry sup
plying a satisfactory light
grows. Perhaps the larg-
est industrial concerns in
the world are engaged in
the work of dispeIling the
darkness after the sun
has ceased to shine.
A marvellous new chem
lcal compound which
when brought in con-
tact with water would
give off a gas possessing
fifteen times the illum-
mating value of ordinary
gas, was discovered by
accident at a small North
Carolina village on May
4th, 1892. Nothing was
done with the discovery
until 1895, when a COM
pany to exploit it was
formed. Since then it's
growth and development
has been without parallel
in the industrial history

ed in the original knot to keep it
from breaking.
1t was early in the morning
when their escape was discovered.
An investigation was made, and
the facts above stated were known
later in the day. The hosiery
rope by which the men got down
from the wall was found dangling
on the canal sides and was taken
in charge by the penltentiary
authorities.
So soon as the escape was
known, Superintendent Griffith
ordered out a number of mounted
guards, who have today been
securing both sides of the river,
in hope of capturing the men.
Collins is supposed to be the
originator of the scheme. He is
said to be a much brainier man
than Murphy, though the latter
made a good attempt to escape
before his sentence of death was
cOmmuted to life imprisonment.
But he was caught and has been
carefully watched since. Collins
has been an ordinary sort of prls-
oner and has not given much
trouble, but he evidently is a
brighter fellow than the ordinary
white convict, and he has sense

Senator TilIman passed through
the city a few days ago en-. route
to Washington, whence he goes
to Wisconsin to make anti-imper>
ialism speeches for the national
Democratic executive committee.
Before lsaving this State he talk
ed of the future of the liquor
question in South Carolina. He
expressed himself as we'll satisfied
with the result of the second pri>
mary, and gave his y low as to the
future in the shape of the follow
ing interview:
When Senator Tillman was ask
ed if he thought the prohibitions
lists would be content with the de-
feat this year or would renew the
fight two years from now he said:
81 cannot tell but | assure you
they will never he able to find a
stronger candidate than Col Hoyt.
If the administration of the dis
pensary law shall be such as to do
away with much of the criticism
it is possible no fight will be
made"
IF a fight is made will you
take part in it?' was asked.
The reply was: "It will de-
pend upon the situation at the
time, but if an organized fight Is
made snch as has been made this
year, | shall exert myself to see
that organization shall he pitted
against organization"
"What do you mean by that"
was asked.

hold convention and nominate a

sqnarcly and settle it for all time.
For instance in the FIRST primary
the dlspensary vote was 58 600
and with but one candidate such u
majority would have settled the
question"
"Do you think the people
would like the idea of nomination
by convention?"
at would not be q nomination
but only a suggestion, and as |,
myself, was suggested by the
March convention, and then
trIunphantly elected, | rather
favor the plan. 1t is important
thet the liquor question should be
settled and have opportunity for
other matters of Importance. The
dispensary has been the issue in
four State elections, and if the al
lied forces, which have fought the
dispensary shall make another
fight am sure 1t would be the
part of wisdom for the friends of
the dlspensary to select one staud-
ard bearer than have three as We
did in the recent primary"
"In the event of such a contest,

THAT would depend upon
whether the people asked me to

Ingenious ConViCtS Escape from
the Penitentiary
Murphy, Murderer of Treasurer
Copes, Was One-Collins Ans
other and Both Life Prisoners
Messages on the Walls.
Columbia Record, Goth.


Two white convicts made an in.
genious escape from the peniten
tiary last night, They were both
life COnvicts, and one of them is
d G Murphy, the murderer of
Treasurer Copes, Of Orangeburg.
The other is w II Collins sentenced
for life for burglary and cons
pound larceny IN Pickens county.
The men were confined in the
same cell on the third tier If the
old prison. All convicts have
been confined there since repairs
on the newer building commenced.
The men were employed in the
mill and IN some manner succeeded
in securing very highly temper
ed saw which would cut iron al.
most like wood, not to refer to
steel. These saws are about five
inches long and could be easily
secreted if the opportunity offered.
With this Saw the two men
sawed away the bolts of tho door
of their cell and made it easy to
pull it back and get out. A long
iron bar runs throughout each tier
of cells and it keeps the iron door
OF each cell from being pushed
outward.
1t is supposed that the men got
the bolts out sometime after mid.
night. a guard made the rounds
about that time and everything
was apparently all right. After
the guard had passed and resumed
his watch in tho yard, the sup
position is that the two men quiet
Iy slipped ont and crawled to the
lower end of the iron platform
which surrounds each tier of cells.
They could drop down then to the
second tier and again to the ground
by means of the way the platforms
are built. 1t is believed that thev,
after dropping down, crawled
along and hid them mselves from the
guards and lights until they reach,
ed the wall next to thepenitentlary
They could easily do that, not
withstanding the electric lights
and guards stationed about the
grounds. From the building thew
escaped there are other buildings
adjacent, in the cover of which
the men, by taking chances in the
shadows might eIude the vigilance
of guards and avoid the light.
They reached the canal wall
final y, and there is Il guard box
on the wall steps leading up to 1t,
which is not occupied at night.
The conyicts evidently had vel
considered the plans, for at the
top of tbs steps they could only
get to the wall by dangerous
hand grab. This they accom-
pIished, and crawIed along to a
workshop, whore the high tunnels
of an engine were guyed.
The men had provided them
selves with the material to lot
themselves down the wall. Thew
had tightly knotted together sew
>eral of the unfinished products of
the hosiery mill. They made n
knotted rope of it and easily let
themselves to the ground. The
rope was tied around the guy
