institute who were engaged the latter
part of 1900 By the German govern
ment to teach the natives of Togoland,
German West Africa, how to grow
cotton have, according to the report
Of the colonial committee, succeeded
in producing cotton which is graded
on the Bremen exchange above
American middling, The Tuskegee
negroes have demonstrated that the
land in Togoland is suitable for cot
ton CT which there is great abund-
ance. The only obstacle to the
commercial utilization of this product
is transportation and especially get
ting the bales to the coast. The
colonial committee has sent an expe.
dition of engineers to survey for
railroad from the coast town of Lone
to Palime, in the interior.

La Grippe Quickly Cured.

SIN the winter of 1898 and 1899 [
was taken down with severe attack
Of what is called La Grippe" says
F. L. Rewett, a prominent drug
gist of Winfield, I'll. "The only
medicine I used was two bottles
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It broke up the cold and stopped the
coughing like magic, and have never
since been troubled with Grippe"
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy can
always be depended upon to break
up severe cold and ward eff any
threatened attack of pneumonia. It
is pleasant to take, too, which makes
it the most popular preparations in
use for these ailments. For sale by

For The Complexion.

The complexion always suffer from
biliousness or constipation. Unless
the bowels are kept open the impuri-
ties from the body appear in the
form OF unsightly eruptions. De-
Wits Little Early Risers keep the
liver and bowels in healthy condition
and remove the cause of such trou-
bles. G. E. Hooper, Albany, Ga,
says: Il took DeWitt's Little Early
Risers for biliousness. They were
just what I needed. I am feeling
better now than in years" Never
gripe or distress. Safe, thorough and
gentle. The very best pills. J. E.

contains two 3S-calibre, 6-inch barrel
pistols and he wore one cheap watch,
showing time 545. Blue coat and
vest and dark check pants are the
attire.
On account of the decomposition
of the body it could not be positive
ly Unidentified, but FROM what parties
say it is almost certain that it is the
body of Barlow Warren. If not
Warren it is almost certain that it is
the body of one of the men connect
ed witt the express robbery near
Fifty-eight on the night Of January
9th. The inquest has not been
held and guard will be left with
the body until the coroner arrives.
There were several express en7el-
opes found on the body containing
some money but the amount is not
known.
The most reasonable theory ad
vanced is that in crossing the river
after dumping the safe, the robber,
weighted by the heavy pistols and
cartridges was drowned.

Governor Altgeld Dead.

Former Governor Altgeld, of ILL
nois, received stroke Of paralysis
Just as he concluded his speech at
pro-Boer meeting at Joliet last week,
from the effects of which he died the
same night. The conclusion of his
speech in behalf Of the Beers, i'm
mediately after which he was stricken,
was as follows:
II am not discouraged. Things
will right themselves. A pendulum
swings one way and then another,
but the steady pull Of gra7itation is
toward the center of the earth. Any
structure must be plumb if it is to
endure. So it is with nations. Wrong
may seem to triumph; right may
seem to be defeated; but the gravita-
tion of eternal justice is upward to-
ward the throne of God. Any po-
litical institution, if it is TO endure,
must be plumb with that line of JUS
tice."

Special to the Columbia State.
Branchville, March 14-The body
of a man,-supposed to be that Of
Barlow Warrcn-was found floating
in the Edisto river this morning about
q quarter of mile below where the
express safe was thrown into the
river some time ago.
The body is badly decomposed
and up to this time has not been
positively identified.
There were shell belt and two
pistols buckled around the body,
There were express envelopes in the
mans pockets but they have not been
examined yet. The Coroner of Col
Teton county has been notified and
will probably hold the inquest tomor-
row morning.

Peace May Be IN Sight.

London, March II 1t was offici-
ally announced today that Field Mar
shall Wolseley, accompanied by Major
Thornscroft, will sail from South
anton tomorrow for Capetown.
The announcement has caused
sensation, and scores of reasons are
advanced as the motive. Those who
know stated positively that General
Wolseley goes to South Africa as an
envoy OF King Edward to make an
investigation Of conditions and report
to the king. It is generally believed
that the mission means that the con-
Gdence which the king and cabinet
had in the wars alleged progress has
been shaken.
It is understood that Wolseley will
act Independent of Kitchener and
other generals in South Africa. It
is believed King Edward seeks to
bring the war to an end before his
coronation, as was recently declared
would be done, and that he relies
largely On Wolseley's mission to
bring about that result.

Danger Of Colds and Ia Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds
and IA grippe is their resulting in
pneumonia. If reasonable care is
used, however, and Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy taken, all danger will
be avoided. Among the tens of
thousands who have used this remedy
for these diseases, we have yet to
learn of single case having result
ed in pneumonia, which shows con-
clusi7ely that it is a certain preVen-
tive of that dangerous malady. 1t
will cure a cold or an attack of Ia
grippe in less time than any other
treatment. It is pleasant and safe
to take. For sale by J. E. Kaufman.

The MARCH WIND.

BY VICTOR CARLYLE.
The wind comes round the corner,
Singing the same old tune
That it sung to me long years ago,
When youth was full Of bloom.
Boreas' chords are just the same,
That he struck long years ago,
For the same great Master tuned the strings
And He's tuned them o'e- and o'er.
Nv heart always supplied the wo' ds,
To his chord so weird and wild,
And waited his coming every year,
Since was thoughtless child.
Ba: tonight the words that my heart dictates,
Are sad, yea fnll Of tears.
For sorrow has found me many times,
In all these weary years.
The birdlings that frightened and cheered
my life,
Have chosen their mates and flown,
And the nest was destroyed by ruthless
hand,
And I wanderer am left to mourn.

Sons Of the Sunny South.
CONGRESSMAN Lever the Orator of the
Evening.

EvenIng.
At banquet, given bytwo score
sons CT the Southland, offSprings Of
the heroes of the Southern Confed-
eracy, dined together, says the Wash
ington Post of March 9Th, last night
at the barquet hall Of Ba1ton's. It
was the annual feast Of the Anselm J.
McLaurin camp, No. 305, Of the
United Sons of Confederate Veterans.
The camp is composed Of the best
known Southern men in the Capital
city. The camp was named in honor
Of Senator McLaurin Of Mississippi.
Hon. 4. f. Lever Of Lexington
county, and Member Of Congress
from the Seventh District, was the
orator Of the evening, and the Post
says, in reference to him:
The speaker of the evening was
Representative Asbury Frances Lever
who was humorously introduced to
the gathering as the "baby member
of the House" Mr.. Lever, who halls
from the Seventh district cf South
Carolina, is most youthful-appear-
ing gentleman, slight as TO stature
and boyish in appearance. He was
the prime iavorite, however, and his
remarks were greeted with warm ap-
probation.
He said he considered it great
honor for one to be the son of Con-
federate soldier. What the South
land gave to the civil war she gave to
this glorious country" he said. 1--WE
are glad there was war, for it
showed to the world such men as
Lee and Early and scores OF others
whom the world has never equaled
for chivalry and gallantry. The Con-
federate flag was an emblem of cour-
age and heroism and an insignia Of
battle"
He said that now that the war was
over the members of the association
were all American citizens and loyal
to the Stars and Stripes. He made
pleasant reference to the fighting
qualities of the Southern regiments
during the war with Spain. The
most interesting portion of his ad-
dress was to the boys.
YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS.
go home, you chaps" said Mr..
Lever. Tell the people in your
districts that the men who fight their
battles want to have some of the
Offices and some of the honors. The
time has come for the young man of
the South to get into politics. Go
home and organize and tell the peo-
pie what you think about affairs, ard
they will send you to Congress as
they sent me. You have a glorious
ancestry and a glorious country. The
South has not yet begun to develop.
The sons of the men who carried the
Stars and Bars to victory in dozens
of battles will, I know, have sufficient
courage to take up the banner Of
industry in the South and plant it so
high that nothing shall ever dislodge
it. The South has begun to realize
her condition and days ale bright
for her ;"
A number OF the other members
were called upon for toasts and later,
with characteristic gallantry, rising
toast was drank to mothers, wives,
and sweet hearts.

Yes sir-ree the time is coming when everyone will know that good tea and coffee is the only healthful and whole Some drink that should be allowed in side your home. They say the law this year doesn't allow intoxicating drinks to be sold within 200 feet of church, public buildings, cemeteries, libraries, etc, and they also say that next year the wine dispensers cannot get h- cense to sell intoxicants within 5000 feet of anywhere in Connecticut. That's the time that good tea and cof- fee (the kind we selD can and will be highly appreciated by everyone. Say, the lawmakers up in Hartford are t<coo-coos.'

AN AFFAIR.

1t is to be hoped that Mayor Low
will be successful in discovering the
guilty ones in the riot in the East Side
during the Hebrew funeral the other
day. 1t was one of the most disgrace
full occurrences III the history OF clv1l1-
cation. A funeral procession following
to the grave the 1emains Of a man who
had been conspicuous in that section
of the city for his philanthropy and
charity is attacked by a crowd of gut
tersnipes and noodlums. The attack,
too, was of the most cOwardly kind,
and by a set of men who showed them
selves to be below the most degraded
of savages. There are no human beings
who do not respect the dead. And
why shoul this attack have been
made upon these lnoffensive, lawabid-
ing Hebrews. We have never been able
to understand the hostility of so many
gentiles to this race. They are, and
have always been, peaceful, lawabid-
ing, charitable and thrifty. There are
two places you seldom n one Of this
race-the poor house and the prison.
We are glad to see that as d result Of
the investigation; INTO the attack on the
Hebrew funeral procession Police
Commissioner Partridge has reduced
LOG detective serseants to the rank Of
patrolmen and three to the grade of
roundsmen. Tho charge was that the
police not only did not protect the I'M
eral party. but some actually took part
in it and treated some of them most
brutality.

An Imaginary Lunch.

They were two-one sober and the
other not. says the New York Evening
Post. They entered a famous uptown
all-night restaurant. The sober man
ordered poaehed eggs on thin toast and
tea. The tipsy one ordered broiled lob
ster. a rabbit and ale. and went fast
asleep.
His friend grinned, and at the proper
time ate his eggs and drank his tea.
With the broiled lobster flanked by the
rabbit and ale before him his compan-
ion slept on.
The sober one pulled out a cigar AND
finished It. He called tine waiter and
ordered the table cleared of untasted
lobster, rabbit and ale. Then he walked
his friend with, Come along. ME boy"
Where's my lobster and rabbit and
ale?" the sleepy one demanded
Ate en-" replied his friend You've
had enough tonight. Come along"
"All right" was the response, as the
sleepy n ~complacently waddied out.
In that case, at least, an assurance
was as substantial as a fact.

Senator Tillman never was a favorite
with the Charleston democracy. There
has never been any love lost between
the two, and neither ever let pass an
opportunity to give the other a whack.
The senator's latest move has well
nigh taken the breath of the Charles
tonians, for he has done nothing more
nor less than dictate to them the Sc
lection Of their representative in the
state senate, under threat of direful
punishment if they refuse to do his
bidding. 1t is needless to say this has
greatly angered the people of Charles
ton, but it seems they are of the opin-
ion that policy and s~elf-interest will
compel them to submit.
Senator Tillman has notified the
C~harlestonians that if they do not do
his bidding in the selection of a state
senator he will withdraw all efforts to
secure federal appropriations for their
city. The people of Charleston do not
like to be dictated to as to local affairs,
especially by Senator Tillman; but
Charleston is making desperate efforts
to keep up in the march Of progress
with the other seaports of the southern
states, and her people know that a fail
ure Of appropriations by h federaf
government will relegate her to a rear
position in the procession, and they
know Senator Tillman well enough to
feel assured that he would be as good
as his word in his future course regard
ing his matter. The senator under
stands the situation as we'll as they,
and it is of this state of affairs he has
taken advantage to get even with his
inveterate enemies.
There is a good deal Of growing and
kicking among the Charlestonians over
Tillman's announcement Of his ultima
tum to them, but it will probably end in
their complying with his demand and
hating him all the more.

Of great importance-both to the mill
Ing interests OF the state and to the
present n future generations in our
factory towns. It II one that requires
deep thought and conservative action.
We should a no hasty legislation or
radical. sweeping changes. 1t would
be better could the matter be regulated
without legislation-by the mill men
themselves; but we are sorry to say
we do not believe this possible, judging
by the conduct Of those who willfully
violated their agreement made with
the legislature for the purpose of pre-
venting legislative action on the sub
ject. This being the case. there must
necessarily be some legislation on the
subject if we wish to provide for the
happiness and protect the health and
