Authority Was Vague.

President Dole; I'm the first place
the reason for asking for a special
Court was that the Supreme Court IL
covered up with a great amount Of
work, so the regular proceedings OF
the Supreme Court would be very
much interfered with. Then the au-
thority creating the Court gave no
provision for appeal The authority
was very brief and vague. But the
natural construction was that II was
a final Court 20 adJudicate claims
which should be paid by the Council

Kane: Il think the resolution

mittee be appointed 20 prepare and

DIED OF HIS WOUNDS.
j. NJ. SpIawn Succumbs to the
Murderer's BulIet-Inquest
Held.

The state.
Union, Dec. 14.-J. NJ. Splawn,
who was shot by Tom Goings last
evening at the Union Cotton mills,
died from the effects of his
wounds this morning.
Tom Goings, who killed
Splawn, on coming down stairs,
passed Mr.. Kitchens, and SAID:
Il have killed the---." On
reaching the foot Of the tower he
jumped into buggy, with a gray
horse attached aud an unknown
man driving, and went off. He
has not been captured.
The deceased leaves a wife and
five children. the oldest one 9
years of age and the youngest
only 8 months. Two invalid sis
ters were also dependent upon
him for support. His life was in
sured for $4,000 in the Odd Eel
lows. He was a sober aud indus.
trlOus young man, and the senti -
ment of the people is with his
bereaved f'miIy.
Goings is 26 years old, single,
weighed 165 pounds, wore a small
tlack moustaChc, ruddy complex
ion, and was section hand in the
mill. He bears a good reputation,
and was Of a quiet, unassuming
character, and comes Of a good
family.
The cOroner's inquest was held
at IL o'clock, Jno. Z. Gage, mag.
istrate, acting as coroner. All the
evidence was to the effect that
Golngs had gone into the nill in
search Of Splawn, and that he
began shooting as soon as he
found him, the murdered man re-
ceiving no warming whatever.
The verdict was in accord with
the evidence.

and with a greater abundance of
capital, than at any time since
the war. This is due in part to
the gradual accumulation Of oapi-
tai OF recent years, the very great
prosperity of manufacturing in
terests, the development of rail
roads aud the vestment of large
capital from outside sources;
but it is especially emphasized
this year by the enormous value
of the cotton crop.
Owing to the shortage in the
worlds supply Of cotton, the
consumption for the last year or
two having outrun the produc-
ton, this years cotton crop
which will probably be about
100000 bs.lee-will yield at
least $450 100000. And for the
first time in the recollection Of
the business people of the South
high prices came at the very be-
ginning Of the season, so that the
farmers go the full benefit, and
not Northern spaculators. Count
ing the value OF the cotton seed,
which has now become such an
important factor in the indus
trial life Of the South, the cotton
and the cotton seed will yield to
the farmers at least s500,000,000,
or an increase Of from $150,000,-
900 to $2OO,OOO,OO0 over the aver
age valuation Of recent years,
making this by far the most val
liable cotton crop ever produced
in the South.-Baltmore News,

SURVEYORS IN UNION.
They Set UP Stones and Used
Big Words and Knew What
Were Talking About.

were IAlklnR ABOUT.
Mr.. Sledge Tatem, topographer
on the United States geological
survey, from Washington, accom-
panied by Mr.. @. @. Caldwell, ar.
rived in Union Tuesday night for
the purpose Of establishing the
meridian line and setting up the
meridian stone at this point.
They began their observation
of the North star at s o'clock and
and the work was continued for
an hour, and a point was located
in front Of and to the left of the
graded school building. This
point was marked and they re-
tired until three o'clock Wednes-
day morning, when they returned
to verify the records by further
observations. This spot was 10
Gated for the purpose of placing
the meridian stone, which arrived
on the train from Columbia Wed
nesday.
1t was an unusual and interest
ing sight to watch them in their
work. They watched the North
star with as much interest as one
would watch his lavorite on the
track, and INDUCED in geological, ,
latitudinal, longitudinal and to-
biographical phraseology, to the
utter confusion Of We Enlightened
scribe. However, they are a
couple of pleasant gentlemen and
are very kind to give any ilfor
nation required. We can not
think just now of all Mr.. Tatem
did tell about this interesting
subject, that is, we cannot re-
member his exact words. Suffice
it to say that he is thoroughly
familiar with the subjectin hand,
and seemed to be as familiar with
old Mr.. North Star and his mean,
derings as we are with the office
devil. We just simply take his
word for all he said about the
business, the only apprecia Bile
difference between he and we is,
he knew what he was talking
about-we didn't.
We gathered, however, that
these gentlemen, sent out by the
government to establish this mer-
idian line and set up these stones,
have been at work a month in
this state covering an era of sew
eral thousand square miles along
belt some 60 odd miles wide.
Having set up the meridian stones
in Columbia, Lexington, Chester
and Spartanburg, they completed
their work by setting up the last
stone in Union. This stone will
be a great assistance to the sur.
veyors of the county as a means
of testing their compasses for
accuracy.
This party was preceded by
another party who passed through
Union some ten days ago, run
ming precise spirit level line
along the railroad, with Norfolk
as a starting point.
The main object in view by the
pOVernment in MAKING tbesa sur
veys is for the purpose of con-
structing an accurate topograph-
ical and geological map. which is
to be published at an early date,
possibly some time in January.
The elevation above sea level has
has also been ascertained at this

MASTERING CHINESE.

One of the Most Difficult of Lam

It is well known that the Chinese
language Is one of the most difficult to
master, and for us to attempt this task
after we have finished our school years
is excessively trying and difficult Ger
tainly the mistakes one hears of as be-
ing made by those who begin to talk
and, worse still, preach in language
they fondly imagine they have mas
tered are ludIcrous in the extreme.
I heard of a clergyman who was
preaching to a Chinese congregation in
the vernacular. Come to God, oh, my
friends; come to Godp he cried (or
thought he did and was considerably
surprised to find some of the congrega-
tion with broad grins on their faces,
while others were frowning blackly.
Great was the good mans consterna-
ton when he found he had been say
inChe fT;all the pigs, oh, my friends; call

due entirely to putting the accent on
the wrong syllable, which altered the
whole sense of the words

"Just before Montana became q

Clark Carter contest occurred, and
most bitterly was it fought out. Any
thing that could be turned or twisted
into campaign argument was sought
out and brought to the front. Commits

general land office, had made ruling
that thereafter no trees less than eight
inches in diameter should be cut down
for agricultural or mining purposes in
territory belonging to the United
States.
This ruling had aroused storm of
indignant protest In Montana and had
straightway assumed prominent
place as one of the main issues In the
CIark-Carter campaign. I was speak
ing one night at Bozeman, and, as was
natural, attacked this ruling Of the
land commissioner and showed, at
least to my own satisfaction, what in
Jury and injustice it did to both farmer
and miner, and so worked up to what
had always previously proved an ef-
fectiye peroration by asking the ques-
ton, What, my fellow citizens, can
the farmer do with eight inch trees?

invariably been silence. but this time

In old English times, when each fam
lily was obliged to sift its own flour, II
sometimes happened that an energetic
man would turn his sieve so rapidly as
to cause 1t to catch fire. The style of
sieve used In those days was called a
"temse," and 1t became a customary
saying that lazy man would never set
the tense on fire. Now. it happens
that the name of the river Thames is
pronounced like the name of this old
flour sieve, and after many years. when
the old fashioned tense was forgotten,
1t was thought that setting the tense
on fire meant setting the river on fire,
