Bsnet Scores Charleston.

The Spsrsan5urg Journal Of yesterday
publishes the following: Judge Benet
iolted Charleston very hard this morn
Ing. In sentencing Ell. Bsiley, young
white man, to twelve months on the
chain gang for selling whiskey, he gave
the most meaning and direct Judicial
arra,snment the notorious lawlessness
OF that city has yet received The re-
marks of ;the judge were very frank.
Judge BeDet said: You have made
a mistake. Tere is a locality on the
opposite side Of the State from Spartan
burg where you can sell liquor with
impunity ans where grand juries won't
present guilty parties and pitt juries
won't convict: where you can SIT ard
smile at the plsiness, most convincing
evidence against you must supply that
always great demand for vhiskey,
emisrate to that favored locality.
1t is not here. In this Piedmont coun
try jurors do their duty and the ls1 is
observed" These remarks made a
sensation in court. Judges DO not
always talk out in meeting that way.
In this case the people were with the
Judge. 1t was stinging, complete re-
buke, justified contrast.

Carried to Sea.

4 dispatch from Brunswick, Ga, to
the Atlanta journal, says: Alfred Ro-
berts and Ecnest Bolt, Two white boys,
aged thirteen and fifteen years, were
picked up Sunday by the tug boat An
gle and Nellie after having a dreadful
experience in an open roWboas. The
boys went fishing in Black river Sat
urday morning and in some way the
boat became unmsnageable, the currant
carrying the youths a great distance in
the direction Of the sea body. The
anxious parents bee. ming alarmed at
their continued absence chartered the
launch Charley D and went in search
Of them. In the meantime they were
rescued as above mentioned by the
Angie and Nellie. Had their rescue
not been affected as early as it was
their fate would doubtless never have
been known, as heavy south to north
east gale is now blowing at sea. Their
safe return to their homes was the sig
nal for great rejoicing By their loved
ones

Boys On The Farm.

The farm has given to the world some
Of its most useful men and women, Of
the kind that the world has great need
Of TO-DAY. By reason of tnaic separation
from the hsunts and dens Of iniqaity
and vice they erscted characters that
were firm, strong and uncompromising.
By reason Of hard physical labor in the
open, fresh air they acquired rugged
and strong constitutions needed for en-
durance in the conflicts in which thsy
engaged. And By reason Of the hard
battles fought sad difficulties overcome
in the attainment Of knowledge they ac-
CURED development of intellect that
was both desirable and conmendsole.
What are the boys and girls on the farm,
who are enjoying superior advantages,
doing to day to improve their condi-
tion? Ar they making the very best
use of the means which cheap books
and papers ard the long winter even
ings afford to adorn their minds and
make them more useful?

In Mortal Combat.

W. j. Bailey, railroad agent at
Mango, Fla shot and killed Paul Huet,
a Frenchman, in duel at that place.
Huet was employed by Bailey to do
some work on his farm. He was ordered
to stop the work on account Of its net
being satisfactory. Huet became enrag-
ed at this and it is alleged threatened
to do Bailey violenes. Bailey returned
to his home for gun. Huet ran to his
home on similar mission. Mrs. Bailey
followed her husband, armed With a
pistol. Mrs. Huet followed her hus-
band similarly armed. When the party
met both men raised guns, it is alleg-
ed, and Bailey shot first, killing Ruet
instantly. Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Huet
were in the meantime fighting with
revolvers, Mrs. Huet severely beating
Mrs. Bailey over the head and pain
fully wounding her. After the hom-
icide, Bailey coolly carried his wife
home, g.ve her msdicsl attention, and
then telegraphe to the officers to come
for him,

Scruhs Cows Teath

According to tradition" says the
Philadelphia Record, "there was once
an old woman who kissed her COW and
said, Every one to his own taste.
Out at Bustleton there is gentleman
farmer who can give the aforesaid old
woman cards and spades and beat heI
at her own game. He does not kiss bis
COWS, but does something more remark
able. He actually scrubs their teeth
with large toothbrush! This man
has many peculiar ideas about his live
stock, and particularly his COWS, which
are of the very finest breeds. So eau
tious is he about their eating and drink
ing that ali the water the COWS use is
distilled. 1t is said that he has sep
arate toothbrush for each cow, and, as
he cannot depend upon his men to DO
the brushing, he does it himself, using
the v5rg best CASTLE soap. He feels
that in adopting this course he is as
sured Of pure milk, free from the posi-
bility of microbes. u

Bryan's Reply.

hockey, thanking him for the express
sions Of esteem, and confidence as fol-
lows: when political party meets
with Yeverses the greatest consolation
the candidate has, aside from the ap-
proval Of conscience, is the knowledge
that he retains the confidence Of those
with whom he was associated, and I
thank the Guards for this assurance.
The contest between democracy and plu-

Must Paw Up.

a dispatch to The Safe says tazpay.
ers Of Wise and Piokens townships and
the citizsns Of Edge6eld village are
just now very much exercised over he
payment Of the bonds issued by Wise
and Pickens townships to build rail-
road through them. The bonds, now
amounting to S65, 900, were issued and
sold but no railroad was built through
them. When the first inatsliment OF
bonds became due, amounting nos to
$40, 600, payment was refused: The
boudhoIders filed suit n the United
States court aod payment fought on
various grounds, but the court decreed
that they must be PAID, and the county
auditor was ordered to levy sufficient
tax this fall to pay the $40, 900 at once.
The auditor has not made the levy, and
notice has been given that steps IN la"
will be taken to compel him to make
the levy. TO collect that amount at
our levy would amount to about 3 per
cent. Of the taxable property Of the
two townships snd It would virtually
amount TO confscation in a rumoer Of
instances. The tax payers cannot stand
it. Various plans to arrange the mat
ter have been suggested. 1t has been
determined, it seems, to call meeting
Of the taxpayers Of those townships at
an early day to discuss the situs ;.on
and to arrange some plan to pay OF or
satisfy the bond holders. The most
feasible plan proposed is to issue neE
6 per ceat bonus, cell them and pay OF
the old bonds. l. is further suggested
that the new bonds be issued IN such
shape as to retire certain number OF
them each year, say from 10 to Is years.

Turks Mad.

Cable advices say that the Vienna
Tsgeblatt publishes a dispatch from
Constantinop!e to the effect that Turk
ish council Of ministers have held g
conference to determine whether or
not the sending Of the United States
battleship Kentucky to Smyrna should
be regarded as so act OF hostility. Ac
cording to The Tsgeblatt's dispatch the
home miDister urged the severance Of
diplomatic relations with the United
States and even went so faras to threat
en- war, unless the Kentucky should be
Withdrawn from Turkish waters. The
ministers express the belief that the
European powers would not permit the
United States to attack Turkey aud
that country. therefore, would be safe
in taking a defiant attitude.

A CRUISER SUNK.
The Yosemite Went Down at
Guam Two Weeks Ago.
DETAILS ARE LACKING.
Ship Had Full Compliment Of
Officers and Men. Many
Were Probably on
Choro N,,4,s
Shore Duty.

A dispatch frcu Manila reports the
sinking Of the Uaited States auxiliary
cruiser Yoaemite in typhoon at Guam,
November 10. Five Of the crew were
lost. Details of the disaster are lack
log and it is not known how many, If
any, OF the crew, was aa7ed.
A dispatch from Washington says the
Yosemite was first commissioned April
l3, 1893, she has bsen stationed at the
island of Guam since the days Of the
Spanish war. She 10 a sixteen knot
converted cruiser, Of 6,179 tons dis
placement, and is provided with main
battery of ten 5.inch rapid firing guns
and a secondary bsttary Of six pound
ers and TWO Colt rifles. She hasa COM
pliment of 19 officers and 267 men.
Her measurements are 3Sl feet in
length by 48 feet. extreme breadth.
She has mean draft Of 20 feet, l inch.
Just before the outbreak Of the Span
ish-American war the vessel was pur-
chased by the navy department., fitted
as an auxiliary cruiser, and rendered
effective service as one Of the patrol
feet, being manned in part by the
Michigan naval militia. It is said that
her anchorage at Guam was Of tho
harbor of San Luis d'Apra, and that
owing to her draft she was obliged to
lie six miles of shore. The horbor is
a particularly dangerous one, owing to
the existence Of q rocky shosl in the
middle and a particularly crooked
channel.
According to the naval register, the
Yosemite was manned by l8 officers
and 267 men, but in her capacity az
station ship not all Of these were re-
quired, and undoubtedly part Of them
were ashore engaged in duties at the
naval station. This probably would be
true Of her commander, Seaton Schro-
der, who also is governor of Guam, and
who probably left the active command
Of the ship to the ranking lieutenant,
Augustus N. Mayer. The other officers
accredited to the ship by the register
are Lieutenants W. E. Stafford, Albert
Moritz, B. B. Bierer, Ensigns 4. W.
Pcessey; 3. L. Collins, A. n. Mitchell
and +. T. Evans, Assistant Surgeon
f. NJ. Furlong, Assistant Paynaster
P. W. Dslano, Chaplain L. P. Ben
nolds, and eight warrant officers.
The navy department Thursday rel
cei7ed a cablegram from Admira
Remey confirming the report Of the
disaster to the auxiliary cruiser Yose-
mite at Guam. Following is the text
Of Admiral Rsmey's cablegram:
Csvite, Nov. 20. 1900.
Bureau Of navigation, Washington:
Captain Of transport Sherman reports
total loss Of Yosemite, Nov. 13. Chains
parted in typhoon, drifted to sea and
sank seventy miles off. Justin "a COL

to Guam tomorrow to ascertain extent
Of disaster and transport Yosemite
