Ellis, Henry Ellis and Sam Ellis' the two first named brotherssand the last a cousin, were bound over to await the action of the grand jury by United States Commissioner Cornish in the sum of $500 each on a charge of raising two $l0 bills to $20 It is alleged that these bills were raised by using figures from old Con- federate bills. The bills were passed on David Fox, of Brookside and J. c. Bur gin of Coalburg. The Ellis's are miners and live at Brookside. When arrested one of them had a $10 bill on which the figure '1' had almost been erased prepa- ratory to being raised.

Eight Men Killed

Terrific Explosion of Two Steel
Digesters. Victims Mangled
and Burned.

Wilmington, DEL, Aug. 90
Eight workmen are known to have
been killed, six are missing and
three others are badly injured by
the explosion of two steel diges-
ters In the Delaware Pulp mills in
the Jessup & Moore Paper com
pany on the ChrIstiana this after
noon. fs
The digesters were located in a
two story building. There were
ten of them in the building, each
one resembling a vat and about
six feet in diameter. They we're
used for reducing wood pulp.
Eighteen men were at work IN the
building. There were two ter
rifle reports and the next instant
the building and other mills about
the structure we're completely
wrecked. One digester was
blown into the air and fell to the
ground $50 feet away. A dense
volume of smoke for time pre-
vented the outside workanen from
going to the immediate rescue of
those who were caught in the
ruins of the falling building.
Several men made their escape
without any injury.

The State campaign closed here
today. Nothing sensational yet.
Walker strongly minated that
there was n deal between Derham
and Jones and that Derham was
to be Jones chief clerk if elected.
Jones said he was glad Derham
supported him and was glad of
the support of any one.
There were no spats between
any of the candidates. Ansel was
the first speaker tonight and he
made decided impression and
aroused great enthusiasm. He
seemed delighted with his recep-
tion. There were fully 1900 in
the audience, including many
ladies.

adoption matter. 1t cites that
the hoard was appointed by the
governor without regard to MIR.
McMahan $ preference: that each
book was adopted by majority
OF the members present, that Mr..
McMahan has done his whole du-
ty in enforcing the adoption, that
no other radoptions can be made till
1906, and thai it is due to Mr..
McMahan's efforts that South
Carolina schools now get their
hooks at the lowest prices. This
letter Of the State board ought to
satisfy every thinking person that
Mr.. McMahan was in no wise re-
sponsible for the adoption being
made, and that since the adoption
had to be made that he spared no
pains tc secure the lowest price
on all books adopted.

Farewell Performance of the Sen>
atorIal Section.
Special to the Daily News.


Winnsboro, S. c., Aug. 21.-
The last meeting of the Senatorial
campaign party was held here to-
day. 1t was the scene of separa
tion and last long farewell of the
"Big Six" who have fought, bled
and died together save one on
whom the people will bestow the
gift of Senatorial life for the next
six years. Hope burns brightly
in the breast of each. ssWe have
met the people and they are ours, I"
is the universal cry.
The meeting today was mix
ture of all that have preceded it
and manfully did they fight.
Records, Philippines, business pol.
icies, lawyers, farmers, bomb
proofs, airing lines, nut grass
roots, pumpkin seeds, bulletins,
appropriations, and tariff meas
ures were SO mixed that 1T re-
minded one of the Irishman who
one night slept with a "naygure, s"
as he called him when he awoke
next morning and found himself
painted black he could not for the
life of him tell which was himself
and which was the "naygure.
Col. Elliott made his usual
speech.
When Latimer's turn came he,
like the goat he loves to tell about,
bowed himself up and showed
fight. He jumped on the whole
crowd of lawyers in general and
made special targets of Evans and
Johnstone. He is a plain, practl-
cal farmer and all the lawyers
have been jumping on him, be
said. There was nothing espec
tally new in his speech, but he
"went a, 'em hard" as the boys
say.
Evans followed, and was evil
dently "ln for business. He
went to work on practical lines,
saying that Latimer's speech re-
minded him of the plaintive,
mournful song sung by the swan
Just before she dies. Latimer
abuses the lawyers, but has put
his son in a law school to prepare
him for life. Latimer said: "He
is not running for the Senate,
gentlemen" Evans replied: "No,
but he is going around to the meet
