To Build an Oh Mil in
Charleston.

Charleston. April 22.-The Atlsnt
ic Cotton Oil Company of Sumter
will build cetton seed oil mill in
Charleston 1t will be located
near the Mutual Oil Company
which was purchased Iast Saturday
by the Atlantic Cotton Oil Company.
The deal between the oil com
pany OF Sumter and the Mutual
Refinery has been pending for some
time, though it was not cousum
mated until last Saturday, when the
stockholders agreed to sell out their
stock to the Sumter concern. which
bad offered fair price. The Dur.
chase wss concluded by telegraph
on Saturday afternoon.
The Atlantic Oil Company is cap.
italized at a quarter of a million
dollars and has q greater output
than any other oil mill in the State,
having q capacity Of 10000 gallons
per day. The company operates
four oil mills and will soon begin
the erection of q fifth mill, which
will be constructed on the site of
the Mutual Refining company which
10 considered most advantageous
location for an oil mill Besides
being near the refining works it will
have all the space necessary for the
successful manufacture of cotton seed
oil, aud being near the railroads and
water will have ell the shippiug
facilities necessary.
The mill will be equal TO any oil
mill now being operated by the At.
lsntic company. All the newest
machinery and the latest methods in
the making Of cotton seed oil will be
used and only q 6rst class product
will be put on the market

GRUNDLE DISCHARGED.
He Was R~ejuvenated But Still Not
Identified.

Gus Grundle, alias Edward Leeming,
possesses the proper faculty for making
himself look either young or old. Yes
.terday he appeared in Justice Nichols
court looking like a man of So years; to-
day he walked into the presence Of the
same Judge looking like a 2~0-year-old
boy. Yesterday the entire top of his
head was as smooth as a billiard ball,
and it was not much better today, but
besides the made-to-order bald head he
a a crop of whiskers that would have
made old Rip Van Wrinkle turn from
gray to green with envy.
Grundle was accused of forgery and
the complaining witness vas ex-Alder-
man K. T. Battieger. Mr.. Battieger
could not come anywhere neal branding
him yesterday as the man who had last
July worked him out of $12.50 on a
worthless check, and it was suggested to
the defendant that the whiskers be re-
moved. Grundle at once returned to the
county jail and carved them off. Today
when he lined up for inspection in court,
Battieger could not fully determine
whether he was the guilty one, and on
motion of the county attorneys repre-
sentative Justice Nichols discharged the
prisoner.

DEMOCRATIC
CIRCUS MONDAY
TWO : RINGED PERFORMANCE
THAT MAY RIVAL A Kill
KENNY FAIR.
CONTRASTING DELEGATIONS
FROM MANY PRECINCTS
Probably the Clarkites Will Hold q
Convention Of Their Own If De-
feated in the First.

The twO-ring democratic circus will
show in Butte next Monday and give one
Of it's unrivalled and spectacular exhibit
ions for which it is so justly famous.
The audience will be large n special eff
forts will be made to prevent my Clark
supporters from crawling in under the
tent. The DAILY men will be armed with
clubs and instructed to hit a Clark head
whenever 1t appears. Under such cir
cumstances a Kilkenny fair time may be
expected.
The Daily people nave the political ma
chdnery in their hands and are conf
dent of winning out, but the Clark sup
porters say they are going to put up a
strong fight, although they concede that
their nance of winning are very slim.
There are contesting delegations from
some fifteen or more precincts in the
county, but with an unfriendly COM
mittee on credentials against them. it is
not likely that any of the Clark dele
gates will be seated. Then will begin the
trouble. 4
1t is very probable thai the Clark dele
gates will hold a convention of their own
if defeated i'm the first organization, and
will then select delegates to the state
convention. The Clark people are very
confident of controlling the state conven-
ton, with the Silver Bow county delega-
ton left out. In a contest over the seat
ing the Silver Bow delegates, the latter
could not vote on the matter and the
chances would be very favorable for the
seating of the Clark delegates from Sill
Yer Bow. This would insure a big ma
jority for Clark in the state convention
and mark the first chapter in the era of
y~indication.
The returns from the outside counties
are said to be very favorable for the
Clark wing of the democracy. Cascade
will ha va almost a solid 6p1pp9 fi0n for
him. In many of the eastern counties,
particularly in Gallatin and Park coun-
ties, it is understood that the delegates
are favorable to Clark. The Clark people
are also figuring on Missoula county, but
the Daily men laugh at the assertion and
say that Missoula will send a solid anti
Clark delegation.
