A COLD WEATHER EPISODE.

Troopers Feet Frozen. Stiff While he
Slept.
Speaking of the cold weather, I re-
member during the latter part of
March, 1888, a day that was one Of
the coolest 1 have ever experienced, %
said Policeman NJ. J. Flynn, of thepo-
lice court squad, the other day, ac-
cording to the Washington Star,
when a number Of attorneys and po-
licemen were talking about cold
weather. Previous to becoming a
member Of the police department
about 16 years ago, 1 served ten years
in the army. In 1883 / was a mon
COM in company A Eleventh United
States infantry, and was stationed at
a government reservation in South Da-
kota, near the Missouri river.
ct was during the latter part of
March Of that year that John L. Sui
livan fought and whipped Pat Ryan.
/ don't remember the exact day, but
the thermometer was lowering in the
twenties below zero, and l was includ-
ed in a number Of about 25Omen who
were detailed to cut ice on The Mis-
souri, river, to be stored for use at the
officers mess. The men were all
dressed in buffalo coats, and it was
worse than bitter cold. We were all
interested in the prize fight, ard
courier brought the news from the
reservation to the river. Some Of the
men were from Sullivan's home town,
Boston, while d number claimed to
have grown up with Pat Ryan in New
York.
GAS a result Of the news the men
became excited and finally a battle
was in progress there on the ice-the
Boston men versus the. New York
men. The non-commissioned officers
succeeded in quelling the disturbance
and when we returned to quarters a
number Of the men were placed in
the guard house over night, while
others had to call on the post surgeon.
One Of the men let his feet protrude
from his blankets when. he retired
that night and the nextmorning they
were frozen stiff"

Injurious Food.

Some foods are very injurious to the
sight. A case was brought under the
notice Of an eye specialist in which
the eyes Of a whole family we're af-
fected by eating rabbit-pie. In each
instance the patient had become af-
ficted with peculiar defect Of vision
that is technically known as Failure
Of accommodation" Stale sausages
and sour cream cause a weakening of
the sight known as "amblobia."
Blindness resulting from eating faint
ed fish has been found almost impos-
sible to cure, and quinine is also re-
sponsibls for some persons half
blinded condition. This drug affects
the optic nerve in a manner thatsome-
times ends in blindness. -

RED SEA PIRATES.
FlOurishing in Arabian Waters as IL

fAVuA lShAhB IN Arabian waters az ~

News from Alden, says the Madras
Times, tells that pirates, as in the
good old days Of old, /" are. troubling
the coastwise shipping, and the
stretch Of Arabian water between Ho-
deida, Kunfadah and up to Jeddah is
not safe. There are three Turkish
warships cruising along the Arabian
coast, supposed to be doing special
sea police duty but piracy is still go

tonishing. The latest case reported
is that Of a sambook which left Hodei-
Ga for Kunfadab, loaded with piece
goods and merchandise worth about
$4,000 and $4,000 in cash. The
crew numbered IA and there we're 12
passengers. While anchored for the
night according to custom, IN bar
rem place near the coast not very far
from Jaizan, the ship was, at mid
night, boarded by two fishing boats,
containing IL negroes armed with
large sticks. The negroes fellon crew
and passengers, beating them unmer-
efully, and, having tied up their
hands and legs, took charge Of the
sambook and sailed all night.
The following morning they arrived
at small place on the coast, anchored
and four of them taking money went
on shore. They bought 60 rifles and
1000 cartridges, came back on board
and sailed again all day with their
prisoners still tied up. After sunset
they came tos place called Towail, on
the same coast, which is their home.
On anchoring their friends crowded
to the shore and joyfully helped them
to discharge the loot After taking
out all the cargo, money, provisions
and the crews and passengers

with their sambook. giving them
only one days provisions. The leader

Snake in a Dish Of Lettuce.

AT dinner Tuesday at the home
of Circuit Judge L. D Husbands,
says the Paducah News-Democrat,
there was an entree that had not
been expected when the meal was
prepared A dish of fresh, crisp
lettuce was brought upon the table
to be shredded and served. In the
midse Of the meal, d small, but ex-
ceedingls lively garter snake wrig-
gled out of the letture and started
across the table cloth. There was
a small panic, which subsidized when
Master Commissioner Clip Hubbard
captured the little reptile.
How the snake escaped being de-
tected when the lettuce was washed
before being brought to the table, is
a mystery to the judges cook.

to take a seat. "McCreary is a

AndersOn's Candidate.

Hon. Geo. +. Prince is squarely in
the race for Congress. He so stated to
The News last Saturday, and said he
would send us his formal announce.
ment later.
1t affords US very great pleasure in
seizing this opportunity Of expressing
through our paper the worthiness Of
Dir. Prince, to the high honors to which
he aspires. To those OF us around
Williameton who have known him 81
long and so we'll we feel that this is
hardly necessary. Born in Abbeyille
County previous to the war between
the States, he WITH his parents moved
to Williamson, in Anderson County.
in 1873; he being at the time mere
boy, and grew up to manhood in this
town, imbibing his FIRST Impressions Of
life, duty and character from the NOR
al, high-toned and cultured atmosphere
OF Williamston. He attended our vii.
lage academy and Sunday Schools until
prepared for college. He then repair.
ed to Spartsnburg and attended Wof.
ford College, from which he graduated
and began the study Of law, teaching
in our public schools as means of
support while prosecuting his legal
studies with view to life profession
at which he has risen steadily and
made quite q success.
His father, grandfathers and great.
grandfathers were plain, unassuming
but successful farmers, but men Of in
telligence and strong force of charac-
ter and of influence il their communi-
ties, from whom he has inherited that
high sense of honor and force Of
character and stern application to
duty for which he is noted wherever
known.
He has quite large and varied ex-
perience in State legislation, having
served two or three terms in the lower
house of our General Assembly, and
represented his County (Andersop) in
our late constitutional convention. and
thus has placed his impress upon the
laws Of South Carolina both organic
and statutory, thus more fully fitting
himself for useful and honorable
career in the broader field of national
legislation.
In all Of his career he has shown
himself to be independent in thought
and action, without being disloyal to
his party or his people. He has strong
aualytioal abilities and never hastily
espouses any man or measure without
due consideration and thorough ex-
animation, and when he has made up
his mind, having right and common
sense as basis for his action, he is
hard to be moved or shaken. With
him good reasons never give wa y except

for better ones. His positions are al
ways logical and mature.
The people of WilliamstQp who have
known him from boy are proud OF
him and feel that they are but honor
ing themselves in honoring him. They
feel that they would always have his
best sympathies and greatest efforts in
everything that came before him for
consideration.
We not only appeal to the people Of
Williamson to give him solid support
but to Anderson County as we'll. Why
should any voter in Anderson County
look elsewhere to find worthy repre-
sentative when we have man than
whom none in the third district is more
able to serve them in the national leg
islature or more worthy Of their sup
port. w. ere confident that the third
district has never had o better repre-
sentative than Dir. Prince will make
them il elected, and that is saying
much, for she has had some able and
noble men TO represent her in the ma.
tional Congress. We know him to be
cleen as to character, great as to abili-
ty and trustworthy as to integrity.
Then why should not Williamston and
Anderson County give him united
and hearty support? IL the revoiu-
tion and transition Of parties and poll
tics we need an able and fearless man
to look after our interests-one, too,
who understands and sympathizes with
our interests.
His legal abilities are frst.rate. His
forensic powers are excellent; his leg
islative experience is as good as can
be gotten from the restricted field Of
local legislatures, where he served in
every capacity from committeeman up
to speaker pro TEN, presiding over the
deliberations of the house with marked
ability and impartiality, giving Justice
and satisfaction to all, and had he
returned to the General Assembly he
would doubtless have been elected
speaker of the House. He is man that
can and will rise above partisan feel
ing and prejudice by which tie small
politician and political demagogue is
actuated.
The peoples interests will never
suffer in his hands. South Carolina will
lose no political prestige through lack
Of ability OF inclination on his part:
The old third district will again rise to
the proud eminence to which the dis
tinguished ability Of Jas. L. Orr raised
her, and Anderson County will have
q son and Representative Of whom she
and all South Carolina viii be proud.
Then let Anderson County give him q
unanimous vote aud thus push him so
far along in the race that he cannot be
