Captain Courtenay Does Not Want to
be Governor Because Of the Du-
ties.
To the Editor of The News and Cour-
Ter: AS soon as / heard Of the sug-
gestions about governor, I wrote to
Florence Times-and also to Union
Times-stating my well-known relation
to the matter. AS I don't know II
these will be published, I request that
you print what follows.
WIN. A. CoURTENAY.
Newry, September 9.
To the Editor Of The Times, Union,
S. c.. Dear Sir-I regret very much
that you are under wrong impression
as to my being an aspirant for the ex-
ecutive office Of the state, and will
thank you to publish this correction.
Some years go, If opportunity had Of
fered, I would have liked to have been
governor, and felt then that could be
useful to the people Of South Carolina.
Since that time, many years ago, great
changes have occurred. I am now ad-
vanced in life, and I think, beyond the
age of usefulness in so onerous and ex-
acting an Office, and do not now wish
it.
Even If this were not so-since by
statute the office has been sunk to the
low level of chief liquor constable Of the
state-there must be a distinct dispen-
sary smell about the place and these
duties must be exceedingly disagree
able.
Take but degree away-untrue that
sting!"
No; 1 do not desire that office, and
may add, any other in or out of the
state. Very respectfully,
WIN. A. CoURTENAY.

LANCASTER.

Ledger, September II: In conversa-
ton with a successful farmer Of this
place some days ago, he remarked that
If it had not been that he had his corn
shredded last year that he would have
had to buy at least hundred dollars
worth Of roughness this year. In other
words, by having his corn crop made
into stover, he saved buying about 500
worth of mule feed. The colored
campmeeting at Mount Carmel has
come and gone this year without any
difficulties occurring either on the
grounds or en- route to the grounds. A
mule belonging to Lewis Rollings, COL
ored, was shot in the foot, why
or by whom nobody seems to know.
An election to determine whether or not
the corporate limits Of the town shall
be extended has been ordered by the
town council to be held on the oath in
stant.. Night Policeman Sowell, about
o'clock Saturday morning, heard a
dog baying something in the lot near
was, fully expecting to catch him big
fat opossum. When he walked up, the
dog and supposed opossum began fight
ing and the policeman struck match
to watch it's progress. No sooner did he
make lignt than the animal attacked
him and the dog ran off. Mr.. Sowell
dropped his light and began kicking at
the animal which he finally kicked to
death. Instead of an opossum, how
ever, it turned out to be one of the larg-
est muskrats ever seen by any one in
these parts. One of those mysteri-
Gus animals at large in the eastern sec
ton of the county, visited the Fork Hill
section last Saturday night. At Rev.
r. J. Blackmon's it killed some geese
and whipped his dog, running it into
the piazza, and inflicting some deep
cuts in its body. At Mr.. ]. r. Black
mons it killed his cat and several

took seat on the piazza and a few
minutes after the departure Of her hus-
band, hearing a cracking noise at the
end Of the piazza where there was a
stand of flowers, she arose and went to
Investigate; but not until she saw a
man approaching on bicycle. She
took the precaution to wait so that she
might have protection in the event of a
discovery such as she made. When she
reached the stand, she was Mortified to
be confronted by a big, burly Negro
man, who was standing on the piazza,
on the outside of the banisters, with
his face against the wall, so that he
might not be recognized If detected. He
was evidently making ready to cross
the banisters when he was surprised.

CANTON CEMETERY AFFAIR.
Friends of tine Family of President
Mckinley Inclined to Dfscredit
the Sensational story.

Canton, o., Oct. Friends of the
family of the late President Mckinley
generally discredit belief of the idea
that the shot by the guard, DePrend,
at Westlawn cemetery, Sunday night,
was on account of any attempt TO
desecrate the tomb. They do not at
tempt to explain the strange story of
the guards or account for the firing
of the shot which cemetery officials
and other residents near by say they
heard, and they do not believe that
two men would undertake to make
an attack on the vault with 20 SOL
diers on guard or near at hand.
1t is believed that the military au-
thorities will make thorough inves-
tigation of the stories told by the SOL
diers on guard Sunday night There
are unconfirmed rumors that the shot
was fred on account of an accidental
fall, and also that it was result of
personal difficulties.
The officers in charge early instruct
ed soldiers not to talk of the affair.

New York, Sept. Embarrassing lie
South African situation, the London
of the Tribune says:
THE war Office has lost no time in
denying the mischievous canard about
Lord Kitchener's resignation on ac-
count of disagreements with MT.Brod-
rick. The war Office can not dispute
with equal force the contention that
appeals for re-engagement to the re-
turned yeomanry force have failed,
Notwithstanding Lord Chesham's ex-
ample in agreeing to go back to the
seat of war. There is a tendency TO
believe the reports that the govern
ment had refused Lord Kitchener's APP
plication for additions to his fighting
strength, but, as the Standard points
out, if there were the smallest rea-
son to suppose that the government
had overruled any decisions which
Lord Kitchener had come to as to
collateral measures for stamping
out resistance as early as possible,
they would very soon discover that
they had not merely hampered the
commander-in-chief, but had outraged
public opinion.

ABRAHAM LINcOLN'S BODY.
The First Martyr Presidents Re-
mains Permanently Beyond the
Possibility of Dissertation.

Springfield, IlL,Sept. 29.-The burial
of the remains of Abraham Lincoln
has practically been completed. Half
a dozen workmen we're occupied all
day Friday cementing over the cage
in which the casket was placed,
Thursday, in the vault at. the base of
the monument shaft. Over six feet
of cement had been laid over the
casket when work was suspended FRI
day night.
The remainder of the cement will
be added and then the tile flooring Of
the tomb will be laid. The marble
sarcophagus originally intended for
the reception of the body will be re-
placed in it's old position in the tomb
early next week
1t is thought now that no further
removal of the body will ever be
made. The casket is buried 10 feet in
the ground, beneath the tomb con-
tanning the crypts where lie the re-
mainder of the family. On cement
base four feet in thickness rests the
iron cage inclosing the casket.
Above the cage will be eight feet Of
solid masonry. 1t would take large
force of workmen several days to ex
! hume the casket under the most ia
yorabl circumstances.

BALLOON WRECKED AGAIN.
III. santos-Dumont Meets with AM
other Mishap But Is Not Discour-
aged and VIII Persevere.

The Paris edition of the New York
Herald publishes additional details
concerning the latest smash of the
airship of N. Santos-Dumont. The
Herald says: NJ. Santos-D umont's bal
loon had bad smash. M. Santos-Du-
mont's destiny appears to be success
followed by accidents. After catas.
trophies of July 10, August 8 and Sep
TENDER s, it might be thought that
i'll luck had lasted long enough, and
that thenceforth good luck in ms ex.
periments would be unmixed.
Starting from the Pare D'Aero sta.
ton, he crossed the Seine without
difficulty and maneuveYed for an hour
with perfect success over the race
course at Longchamps. Everything
went as well as could be desired, and
NJ. SantosDumoDt decided to devote
the entire day to his aeronautic eX-
! periments, resersing two hours to
making call in the car at restaur.
ant in the Bots for breakfast.
As his friends gathered in a group
at one end of the race course, he di-
rected his course toward them TO ask
| them to come nearer the center. At
this moment, when wheeling round at
great speed like an automobile when
| turning the corner of street, the bal
loon was driven against some high
! trees. Its cover brushed the branches
slightly, but enough to cause mischief.
In an instant it was in ribbons and
was completely emptied of its 622 Gu
bic metres of hydrogen.
The frame bearing the weight of the
motor broke as soon as it touched the
ground. but the aeronaut remained
standing in the car uninjured, in the
midst of splinters of wood and strips
of torn silk and tangled web of steel
and wire.
The aeronaut whose perseverance
is the object of the admiration of all
who are able to appreciate it. forget
ting the strain upon himself, will con-
tinue to pursue his enterprise and will
set patiently to work to resume his
experiments directly the Santos-Du-
mont vi. is repaired. provided the at
mospherie conditions are favorable,
in October or even in November. When
winter arrives he will perhaps seek
under a milder climate the conditions
of temperature necessary for his ex-
Deriments.

King Edward and Queen Alexandra
Leave London For the North.
New York, Sept, Recommending
upon King Edwards movements, the
London correspondent of the Tribune
says: The king disposed of large
amount of business before taking the
train for Scotland. 1t had been re-
ported enormously that the American
ambassador would be among IKE
guests at Balmoral, but the king made
a point of seeing him at Marlborough
house, and received thanks for the
numerous messages of sympathy for
the American people.
Euston station was profusely deco
rated for the departure of the king
and queen, Friday night, and there
were large crowds of spectators
awaiting their approach, as well as in
Pail Mall, to see the carriage drive
off. This is their first visit to Scot
land since the opening of their reign,
No date has been arranged for >the

ing and decorating buckingham pal
ace is well advanced, and the king
will be in residence there when par
lament assemblies in January.

of the vigorous pursuit of Turkish
