CARNEGIE'S COLOSSAL INCOME
1t is sald that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
will retire from active business life
with ali income of al least 0,000,000
a year. a few comparisons may be
helpful in an effort to realize what
these figures mean. AT the average
rate Of wages paid to the soldiers in
our regular army Mr.. Carncgie's yearly
income would maintain Il standing
army of $4,000 men. The average
salary of clergymen in the leading
Protestant denominations in this cOun.
try is about $400. The pittsburg
capitalist, therefore will receive an an
nual income sufficient to pay the
stipends of $4,000 pastors, a number
greater than the entire ministerial
force OF the Presbyterian and the Metho
dist Episcopal denominations In this
country. AT the average pc. capita
cost of living in America $4,000 600
would be sufficient to maintain city
of more than $4,000 population. 1t
would pay what would be accounted a
large salary ($l0,000) to 1000 men
and fairly good annual income to ten
times thai number. 1t would give
about 5000 young men or women q
college education, and allow each ono
OF them not less than 81 900 besides
for ga start in the world" Perhap.

hands will do the world as much goo

good government in tho State. lie was
one of the few Democrats elected tC
the Legislature in 1872, and was re.
elected IN 1874 and 1876. In 1877 he
was chosen judge of the Seventh cir
cult, position in which he continued
to serve with honor and ability until
1898, when he retired from public life.
1t is safe TO say that no man ever
sat on the bench in South Carolina
who gave more satisfaction in the aG-
mnistration of his Office and this TO
lawyers and litigants alike. He was
patient, thorough, alert and painstak-
ing. Courteous always, he nevertheless
maintained the dignity and enfo ced
the rules of the court on all occ .,sions
Prompt in his rllings, he showed
always an adequate conception of the
question made and an exact know
ledge of its bearing upon the issues
presented.
Ia his charges to the jury, Judge
Wallace wa always clear and strong
presenting the law in style which,
whilst it evidenced the wcll-lnform
and painstaking lawyer, yet enabled
the jurors to understand the points
presented and the legal principles by
which the issues were to be deter
mined.
In the course of his labors on the
bench--his long contact with the
bar and the people in all parts of the
State-Judgc Wallace continually rose
Ill the public esteem. The impress of
his character and of his conscientious
administration of justice remains yet
helping to maintain the character of
the judiciary.
Since his retirement from public life,
Judge Wallace has lived quietly in
Union: but taking a deep interest in
public affairs and the industrial de-
vclopment of his town and State. He
was stakeholder in cotton mills ut
Union, Pacolct and Lockhart.
Judge Wallacc's wife died just
year ago. -Four children survive him:
Mrs. John G.. Sheppard, of Edgclield,
Mrs. James ii. Maxwell, of Grccnvillc,
Mrs. Victor Gage. Of Alabama, and ID
IL. Wallace, of Union. He has two
sisters living, Mrs. DR.. Mott and Mrs.
Lydia Sans, both of Spartanburg.

TIE ONLY WOMAN JAILER.-Mrs.
Evelyn Smith, of Greenwich, Kent
County, Long Island, is the only wo-
man in the country who officially oc.
cupies the position of Jail keeper. Mrs.
Smith was born in the building over
which she has presided for the last
twenty years. For more than fifty
years some member Of her family has
served in the position which she now
occupies. She has never been attacked
by prisoner, and during her long term
ot service there have been only two
escapes, both of them at the same time
before the present modern jail was
completed. Mrs. Smith rarely has
trouble with prisoner, even those
who are brought into the Jail by force
quieting down under her influence
She declares that no class of people
are quicker to appreciate kind treat
ment and courtesy than criminals, nnt
that 1t is much easier to handle then
with pleasant words than with hand
cuffs and solitary confinement. Th
number of prisoners under Mrs Smith
care averages ten. During her tenn
porary absence from home her place a
jailor is taken by her daughter, Mrs
Annie Burdlck.

alked The Bill To Death.

Nothing in all Thomas A. Carter
career in the Senate became him like
the closing of it. By speech of grim
humor that touched every dry creek
and shiny slough in the river and har-
Dor bill he saved the country $4,000, 900
and bunkoed every last congressional
huckster who had sold his birthright
for piece of "pork."
Tom Carter's wit has usually had the
point of wit. This time it's point lay
in it's inordinate length. For hours it
dragged it's slow length along, Mr..
Carter was determined to defeat the
bill, and he began with a preliminary
flourish of four hours before it was sent
back to conference. Then upon a
motion that the senate recede from it's
position, he frankly and pleasantly
announced that he would talk to the
end of the session and so prevent its
passage. He knew that there was a
good stiff piece of work cut out before
him, but he declared with smile that
he was in excellent physical condition
and the result justified his confidence.
For nearly six hours more he rambled
OH saying little about everything, to
the despair and disgust of dealers in
"pork, as they realized that the goods
could not be delivered.
Those gentlemen are now twice con-
demned. In the first place, they are
badly beaten in the smaller game OF
partisan politics. They had hoped un-
doubtedly that if the bill went through
the odium for it would have attached
to the party in power while they were
securing their share of the rake off.
But as it has failed to become law the
Republicans escape responsibility and
the Democrats gain absolutely nothing.

Oil Excitement At Westport.

Yesterday a new oil company was
organized for the purpose of testing the
lands in the vicinity of Westport in the
hope of striking oil, as it is rumored
that the indications of the existence OF
the fluid are very promising.
c. F. White, the manager of the
Grays Harbor Commercial company, is
president of the new company; Thos.
Morgan of Ninemire & Morgan, is treas
urer; and J. A Sells, ex-county auditor
is secretary and manager.
The company will have head-quar.
ters in Aberdeen and will open an office
here next week and will undoubtedly
offer stock for sale.
A lease of 1000 acres of land at West:
port has been secured and as soon as
sufficient stock has been disposed Of
and machinery can be procured the
work of drilling will begin.
An expert from California who has
been looking over the fields makes a
very encouraging report. A resident
of Westport who was in Aberdeen to.
day says that town is excited and al.
ready there has commenced mild
boom in real estate, there is oil to be
found, and there are millions i'm it. As
soon as the machinery can be procured
the work of boring will be begun
