This book tells the story of Mr.. Lincoln's
life as it has never been told before. The
narrative presents him as a man rather
than as an official. The history Of the
war period abounds in incidents and anec-
dotes told of him and by him.
There are thousands of incidents of his
associations with Hamlin, Steward, Stan
ton, Grant, Sherman, Porter, Farragut.
Sumner, Chase, and all the other long ar
ray of political and military giants of the
time. No attempt is made to give a his
tory of the War of the Rebellion, but to
show Mr.. Lincoln's personal relations to it.
The work is handsomely printed on
heavy book paper, large Svo. size.

Paid Fire Department fer Grcenville

7 dlu FlTe department lCI SISSHVItCt
Fire Chief w. R. Joyner, head of the
fire department of Atlanta, Ga, visited
Greenville the past week, for the eX.
press purpose of organizing fire de-
partment in that city. Chief Joyner
went to Greelville at the earnest re.
quest of the mayor and council of that
city. Policy holders in the city are
threatened with an increase IN fire in.
surance rates unless steps are taken
for the better protection of property.
For some time past, it seems, the
number of fires that have occurred in
Greenville has been the subject of
much serious consideration on the part
Of insurance agents who represent
companies carrying business there.
Prominent agents in Atlanta are inter.
ested in policies held by citizens Of
Greenville, and the matter has as.
sumed such shape as that the insur.
ance companies are threatening to ad-
vance rates.
The town is protected by a volun.
teer fire department. Cities operating
paid departments always receive bet
ter rates than those having only vol'
unteer companies organized to keep
down fires. The threatened advance
in rates has been instrumental in caus-
ing the mayor and city council of
Greenyille to take up the matter Of
establishing a paid fire department.

HURLED INTO ETERNITY.
Six Men Die Instantly and Seven
Others Injured BY Explosion OF
Big Oil Tank.

Six men, and possibly seven, were
killed and seven injured by the explo7 I
sion Thursday of an oil tank Of the
Essex and Hudson Gas Company at
Newark, n. ].
The known dead are: Lawrence
Kirch, William Meyer, Otto Newman,
Alfred Snyder, Nicholas Miller and an
unidentified man.
Many witnesses say there is body
in the river, as they saw it hurled
high in the air and thrown in that d.
rection.
The tank which exploded was one
of a number of immense steel reser
yoirs which was undergoing It's Pc
riodical cleaning.
The men began with chisels to cut
q large ring in the tank. 1t is suppos-
cd one of the chisels in striking the
steel caused the emission of spark,
for instantly there was an explosion
like that of a cannon and then a sheet
Of name.
Ten meu were on the top of the
tank at the time. They were swept
away in all directions. Miller, Sny-
Ger, the unidentified man and the one
supposed to be in the river seem
to have borne the Drunt OF
the terrific shock. The three hrst men
toned were not badly mangled' put
not q bone in their frames was left
unbroken, says the county PHYSICIAN
This sact being due to their Delns
blown many feet into the air and the
force with which they struck the
Ground. The tank was rent in twain
and after all was over the bodies or
tho three men in it were taken out.

Carolina Tobacco Statistics.

A Columbia special says: Five
years ago Carolina planters began ex-
perimenting with the growth of to-
bacco. Farmers in nearly every coun'
ty of the state tried patch OF
ground with the weed and the trial
has, in it's entirety, proved a decided
success.
But the work has shown almost con-
clusively that the plant can be more
successfully grown on the rich sandy
lands with a clay subsoil near the
Great Pee Dee river, in which the coun-
ties of Florence, Darlington, Marion,
Marlboro, Horny, Clarendon and Will
liamsburg are numbered. Large ware
houses and stemeries have been built
for the handling of the crop and the
business is conducted as well here as
in Danville, Lynchburg, Farmville and
other Virginia sections. The crop for
the past year was heavy and was sold
at an average of 10 cents, yielding the
producers s2,OOO,00O. The crop is put
on the market as early as the first
week in July and the sales continue
until the following April.
The tobacco culture has not mate
rally decreased the cotton crop in
that section and in this state is looked
upon as an extra money crop, the same
as the peach crop is regarded in Geor-
gia.
Tobacco is an expensive and uncer.
tain crop and requires the most care
full cultivation and attention. Those
who succeed best are the small white
farmers who, with the assistance of
their wives and children, do ali the
work. Few can be found who will ad.
nit that the crop pays if all the labor
is hired and paid for out of the pro-
ceeds.
The American Tobacco Company has
buyer in every market and practical
ly fixes the prices from day to day. The
South Carolina product is used princi-
pally in the manufacture of cigarettes
and smoking tobacco, large proper
ton of which is shipped to England
and Europe.

CzOLG0Sz BREAKS DJWk.
On Reaching Auburn Prison Assassin
Suddenly CoIlapses and Gives
Guards Trouble.

Czolgosz, President McKinlcys' mur-
dcrcr, in the custody of Sheriff Cald-
we'll, of Erie county, and twcnty-one
deputies. arrived in Auburn, y. Y,
at 3:1J a. m. Friday. The prison Is
only about fifty yards from the depot.
Awaiting the arrival of the train
there was a crowd OF about 200 peo-
pie. Either for fear of the crowd
which was not very demonstrative, or
from sight of the prison, Czolgosz's
legs gave out and two deputy sheriffs
were compelled to practically cry
the man into the prison. Inside the
gate his condition became worse, and
he was dragged up the stairs and into
the main hall.
He was placed In sitting position
on the bench while the handouts were
being removed, but he fell over and
most abject terror AS soon as the
handouts were unlocked the man was
dragged into the principal keepers Of
fee. AS is the case of all prisoners,
the officers Immediately proceeded to
strip him and put on new sud- of
clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz cried
and yelled, making the prison corri-
doris echo with evidence of his terror.
The prison physician. DR.. John Ge-
rim, examined the man and ordered
his removal to the cell in the con-
demned row which he will occupy
until he is taken to the electric chair.
The doctor declared that the man was
suffering from fright and terror, but
said that he was shamming to some
extent.
The collapse of the murder was
surprise to every one. En- route from
Buffalo he showed no indication Ct
breaking down. He ate heartily OF
sandwiches and smoked cigars when
not eating. He talked to some and e1'
pressed regret for his crime. He said:
II am especially sorry for Mrs. Nc
Kinley.'
He reiterated his former statement
that he had no accomplices and de-
clared that he never had heard of the
man under arrest in st. Louis, who
claimed to have tied the handkerchief
over his hand, concealing the pistol
| with which the president was shot.
| He SAYS the handkerchief was not tied.
He went behind the Temple Of Mu-
sic, arranged the handkerchief SO as
| to hide the weapon and then took his
place In the crowd. To Jailer Mitchell
he sent this message to his father:
Tell him I am sorry left such a
bad name"
Friday afternoon Czolgosz was In
q normal condition and seemed to have
fully recovered from his collapse.
There are five cells for condemned
men in the prison and Czolgosz was
placed in the only vacant cell, so all
are now coupled.

Washington Is Shocked.

News of the disastrous fight between
troops of the Ninth infantry and the
insurgents in the island Of Samar was
sent promptly by General Hughes com
manding in thatisland, to general Char.
fee, at Manila, and by him transmitted
to the war department. 1t reached the
department during the early hours OF
Sunday and Adjutant General Corbin
realizing it's Importance, at once made
it public, after sending copy to the
white house. General Chafee's dis
patch, which agrees with the Associa-
ted Press dispatch, is as follows:
Manila, September 2S.-Adjutant
General Washington: Hughes reports
following from Bassey, southern Sa-s
mar: Twenty-four men Ninth regiment
United States infantry-11 wounded
have just arrived from Balangiga; re-
mainder company killed. Insurgents
secured all company supplies and all
rifles except 12. Company was attack
ed during morning September %; COM
pany was 72 strong; officers, Thomas
w. Connally (captain), Edward A.
Bumpus first lieutenant), DR.. R. S..
Griswold (major surgeon), escaped.
"CHAFFEE." ~
The news created q sensation In ofh-
cial circles. It was the first -severes
reverse that has occurred for a long
time. Still, the officials were not un-I
prepared for news of just this characS
ter. From Samar, in which the revo-
luton started by Aguinaldo still con-
tinues. Samar is a country about as
large as the state of Ohio and the
American forces of occupation num-
Der in all between 1000 and $500 men.
These are distributed among various
posts in the island, a large number be-
ing located at the more important CEN
ters. Spain never made any effort to
occupy Samar, and it only has been for
probably three months past that the
United States has undertaken that
work.
The latest report made by General
Hughes to the war department. was
that the number Of insurgent rifles In
the island aggregated about three hun
dred. The Filipinos carried Oh a guer-
riila warfare, and operations against
them were difficult. The disaster to.
Company C occurred, it is believed.
while it was engaged in an expedition
to clear the country Of rowing bands OF
these insurgents. The fact that the
Americans were attacked while at
breakfast indicates the pluck and dar.s
ing Of the insurgents.
Immediately upon receipt Of the dis
patch Adjutant General Corbin cabled
General Chaffee to send complete re-
port of the fight and list of the cas-.
ualties.

Bolt Finally Caused Death.

The death Of J. Andrew Cullum, OF
Ridge Spring, Lexington county, from
a stroke of lightning received two
months ago, is remarkable. Mr.. Cul-
lum was one of the most prominent
men in his county. He was one of
the largest fruit growers and poultry
fanciers in this state. In the latter
part of July he was struck by light
ming. His shoes were torn off and
there were burned places on his lefs
size. Mr.. Cullum was picked up un'
conscious, but soon rallied, and in g
few days was out again. But the spot
burned by lightning would not heal.
Carbunkles formed on the burns and
sapped his strength and life.
