Members of the D. A. 3. Passing
Through Trying Ordeal.
An EAGER, ANXIOUS BODY OF WOMEN
Scenes Attending the Biennial
Choice of Officers.
ROUTINE PROCEED GS

1t was an eager. anxious, excited body OF
women that met in the Opera House this
morning The day of days had come-the
time for the election of president general
was at hand. Every daughter was at her
seat on the floor, every alternate was in her
seat in the gallery. Everybody who could
crowd into seat in the upper gallery was
there. This happened today for the first
time during this congress. Men were there.
They sat in the boxes and they lined the
walls in the galleries, although men are
barred from all but the upper gallery.
A serious report was abroad that MEM
bers in their efforts to get seats for their
given them to their friends, who were thus
enabled to pass the gatekeeper and pages
and secure good seats on the floor.
In many ways this congress differs from
those that have preceded it. There has
been less disposition TO pose and make dis
play. Fewer flowers and palms have i'm
peded the view of the platform. There has
certainly been more OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
eering parties they have been called-than
ever before. While there has been a little
less picturesGuesness, possibly there has
been more patriotism. The congress itself
has been hard to hold together. At no time
until today has there been many more than
quorum on the floor. 1t has been impos-
sible for the president general to hold the
women down to the business in hand, empty
seats facing the readers of reports which
should command the attention of the whole
congress. as they show the progress of the
work Of the society.

The fattering reception of the
candidacy of Col. U. X Gunter for
Attorney General, by the press and
voters of the State should be very
encouraging to him and is certainly
very gratifying to his friends all over
the State and particularly to his home
folk in Lexington county. As we see
it Mr.. Gunter is deserving of the
promotion by all logical reasonings
and has proven himself fully compe-
tent to discharge the duties of the
Office. Should he be given the nom-
ination, ability, law, justice and equity
will characterize his administration
rather than overdrawn professional
zeal, partizan and political prejudice.

If you are utterly wretched, take a

Next day We we're in the beautiful
town of Leesville where we found
trade brisk and taxpayers prompt in
making settlements. This town has
made wonderful strides in the direc-
ton of development during the past
year, more so, perhaps than any other
town in this part of the State. The
improvements are more noticeable in
the suburbs where many comfortable
cottages have been erected, and &C.
cupied by families who have moved
from farms to enjoy its social, busi-
ness and educational advantages
which are OF 8 superior order. Lees
vile has great possibilities for future
development which are erjoyed but
by few towns in the State. It is
elligibly and BEAUTIFULLY situated. on
the watershed of the Saluda and
Edisto rivers; it's educational advant-
ages are second to none, her people
are generous, social and hospitable,
making it very desirable place of
residence and to raise family. We
were elegantly entertained at the
Kinard Hotel which has been recently
built and elegantly furnished, and
the table is supplied with the best
the market affords.
Lewiedale was our next point.
Quite number of taxpayers from
the surrounding country gathered to
meet the Treasurer and to do their
trading some of whom did not forget
their obligations with the newspaper
man. While Lewiedale is quite a
trade centre, yet it is not what it
once was in the days gone by. Not
80 long in the past we can remember
when large volume of business was
done at this place, but the clever and
accommodating merchants there are
enjoying fair share of the business
of the vicinity.
This completed our weeks trip.

STEAMERS ON THE CONGO.
There Is Now a Large Fleet Plying on
Eight thousand Miles Of
Waterways.

Twenty years ago Henry N. STAN
ley, who had reached Stanley pool to
begin his five years work planting
stations on the river, launched the
first steamer on the waters Of the
Pool. It was the little En- Avant Of
Ave tons burden. In the 20 years
that have since elapsed Europe has
not failed in a single year to send
more steamers to ply on the greas
African river, says the New York
Sun.
There are to-day 1O3 steamboats,
travelling up and down the upper Con-
go and it's tributaries or preparing in
the shipyards at Stanley Pool for
launching. The fotilla has taken a
prominent part in the pacific con-
quest and the economic expansion OF
the new Congo country. 1t has been
very prominent in the work of ex-
ploration and Of occupation. With
out these steamers it wouid not have
been possible to start so many trad
ing and other stations. They could
not, without the steamers, have pro-
cured sufficient supplies. The steam-
ers also made it possible to develop
the ivory and rubber trades, which
have now reached large proportions.
Belgian enterprise has placed nearly
half of these vessels on the river.
The fleet of the Congo Free State
numbers 30 vessels, and Belgian trad
ing compani have 10 steamers, max
ing a total of As vessels owned and
controlled by Belgian enterprises.
The most important feet after that
of the Belgians is the French mlotilla.
In the past two years the French
have sent 80 boats to Brazzaville on
Stanley Pool, and most of them have
been launched. The Dutch traders
own ten vessels, the Germans two and
English and American missionary So
cieties have four steamers in their
service.
1t was a gigantic undertaking to
transport the so steamers to the up
per river. They had to be carried
piece by piece on the backs of men.
Not a few of the larger vessels were
divided into more than 1000 man
loads; and after these myriad pieces
were unloaded at Stanley Poolmonths
were required to rivet them together
and prepare the vessel for launching.
So nearly IS years were taken in
placing the first so steamboats, on the
upper river. A very different chapter
in Congo history has been written in
the pest two years since the opening
of the railroad from Matadi to Stan
ley Pool. Within the past "a months
half Of the upper Congo fleet of so
vessels have been carried on the cars
to the Pool. While a month was re-
quired to carry the earlier boats over
the mountains and down into the val
leys along the 235 miles between the
lower Congo and the Pool, an entire
boat is now carried over the route in
two days. Thus the railroad has
facilitated placing steamers on the
upper river; and now both railroad
and steam vessels are working to-
gether in the commercial expansion
of the country.

TURNED OFF THE WELL GAS.
How the Owner of a Natural Pro-
Queer Accounted for Its sud-
den Failure.

Here is a story of the late Paul
Rainey, the coke magnate, and his
friend, the late Charles Latimer, emil
nent engineer. Mr.. Latimer was a
firm believer in the peculiar virtues
of the divining rod. He used it with
singular success. He wrote a
pamphlet about it. He was widely
known as a supporter of the claims
that were made for it. Consequently
when his frieno Rainey went ahead
and bored for natural gas without
consulting Mr.. Latimer and his divin-
ing rod the engineer felt hurt and a
little provoked, relates the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
"Why man." he said, "here you've
gone ahead and let blind chance
guide you, while I would have located
the sure thing if you had only sent
me word"
"But / struck it," protested Mr..
Rainey.
"struck what?" cried Mr.. Latimer.
"Struck a pocket, that's what you've
struck. You'll see. 1t can't last, J. tell
you. You've made one of the biggest
mistakes of your life"
And thereafter every time Mr. Lat
inner met Mr.. Rainey he berated him
for ~scorning the divining rod, and
warned him that his gas supply would
soon be exhausted.
Mr.. Rainey began to expect this at
tack every time Mr.. Latimer came in
sight. And he prepared to counter
act II by saying; "But the gas still
flows, Charlie" And the divining rods
hacker would walk away, shaking his
head in a foreboding manner And
then one day Mr. Latir1er died very
suddenly. !.
ut was only a week or two before"
said Mr.. Rainey in telling the story,
"that Charlie met me and told me for
the fortieth time, more or less, that
my well was no good, and by Jove
the very day he died the flow sudden
" stopped Yes, sir, stopped right
short on the day that Charlie died.
