STORMY DAY IN STOCK MARKET.
Violent Fluctuations In Stocks, Yes
terday-The Closing Was
Quiet

New York, Sept. 25.-After a
stormy day in the stock market yes
terday the closing was quiet, but with
the undertone still slightly unsettled.
1t was a day of violent fluctuations
and of many changes in the course OF
prices. Twice there was a dangerous
break which threatened demoraliza'
ton and twice there was an effective
recovery. Just at the last there was
some very large selling by holders
who seemed DESTROYS Of taking ad'
vantage of the vigorous rally in force
and who seemed yet to harbOr doubts
whether the storms Of forced liqui'
dation had spent their force. But
there was undoubtedly very general
sentiment at the close that the posi-
tiCn Of the banks had been effectually
strengthened and that the violent loan
contraction might be hoped to have
reached its limit for the present. The
news CO the lighting Of the steamship
Majestic. having on board cOnsign'
ment of nearly $1,500,000 in gold, was
the sharp break in sterling. The
CSening break in prices, which ran
from l to 3 points for the active lead.
ers, was aggravated by the unexpect,
ed news Of President Roosevelt's dis.
ability. The reports given out from
the presidents train served to reas
sure fears on tat score.

ASuccessfuI Play.

Denmau Thompson and Geo. w.
Rivers latest successful comedy
drama of New England life, "Our
New Minister" will be presented
at the Auditorium on Friday night
for the first time here. 1t Is in Its
second year of success, and Is by
the authors of that greatest of all
rural dramas, "The Old Home
stead" 1T was first produced In
the spring of 1901, and like the
Homestead" was a success from
the start, for 1t Is absolutely true to
the life 1t represents. There IS
muchgcomedy In 1t, and some sor-
row, but no pessimism; the tears
one sheds are never bitter. Uncle
Denman" has not lived In vain.
The world has been made a better
and happier place for many because
he has shown US that sweet, whole
some plays may at the same time
be of absorbing interest. The orig
inal cast will appear, and a scenic
production surprising anything
ever before attempted in rural
dramas will be shown.

AN AGENT VISITED OWNERS YESTERDAY,

esA gentleman who has optioned
his land In Paden's Valley to an
eastern syndicate, was In the city
last night and was interviewed a:
to what, If anything, was being
done about closing the options uI
for the land In Paden's Valley
The gentlemen informed us that
yesterday morning a representative
of the syndicate had visited the
people In the valley, whose land Is
under option, and had asked the
land owners to have deeds ready to
close the sale up according to the
terms of the option next week
Our informant tells us that he has
no doubt at all now about the sale
being closed up. The options ex'
pire Saturday, October the 4th'
While 1t Is not definitely known
what the syndicate wants with this
land, the report Is the land Is to be
used to erect large iroa, steel and
tin plate mill upon 1t. The rest of
the land which will not be used tor
the proposed work will be laid OH
into lots and sold for building Pur-
poses. The land Is beautiful
tract containing 1900 acres all
above high water mark, and one OF
the most desirable building sp Dts In
the Ohio Valley.
This deal means much ter SIS
tersville. II will no doubt be the
means of having an Electric rail-
road built. 1t is only three miles
above our city. This will be the
trading centre fox all the men who
will work and live In this new town
to be started. Our merchants as
soon as work begins, should make
an organized effort to put In a fast
little packet to run to ard from
these new works. This should be
followed up by building an Electric
railroad. Such railroad could be
built for fifty thousand dollars
The road could be extended to
Friendly and out In the country to t..
Middlebourne or farther. We will
know inside of the coming week
Just what will be done, and all we
can say now that Is sure Is. that the
options have been taken and an
agent of the syndicate no longer
than yesterday assured the people
the land would be purchased accor'
ding to the terms of these options.

A resolution was adopted also provid
ing Tor the appointment by the gov
ernor of a bipartisan commission OF
four members to investigate the laws
regulating the granting of franchises

bly,. 1t is said that the fight will be
removed at that time to secure per
petual franchises, and if it develops
that this is true, it will be the para
mount issue in the gubernatorial cam
paign of next year.

SECRETARY ROOT SPOKE.
Address Principally Upon Philippines
and Cuba.

Peoria, Ills, Sept. 25.-Elihu Root,
secretary Of war, was the speaker at
last nights meeting Of the Illinois
League Of Republican clubs. The
Coliseum was packed to the doors
and time after time the secretary was
vociferously applauded. His address
was confined entirely to the recent
troubles in the Philippines and Cuba,
and not once during the evening did
he mention the tariff or the trusts.
In opening his address he paid a
high compliment to the late William
Mckinley.

PRINCELY Gift OF PHIPPS.
Pittsburser Gave 100000 Fer Benefit
of the Widows and Orphans
CT Roer Victims Of War.

| Amsterdam, Sept. 25-The Boer
generals, Botla, DeWet and Delarey
have issued manifesto in the shape
of an appeal to the civilized world
| This document recalls how, after the
| terrible struggle in South Africa, the
Beers were compelled to accept the
British terms Of peace, the generals
were commissions. to proceed TO
England and appeal to the new gov
| eminent to allay the distress which
| is devastating the colonies, and, in the
| event CT the failure CT the mission, to
appeal to the civiiizIl world for char
liable contributions.
Must Appeal to Europe and America.
Continuing, the generals say that
having failed to induce Great Britain
to grant further assistance, it only
remains for them to address them
selves to the people of Europe and
America.
simultaneously with the issue of the
appeal for assistance comes the state
ment that the boer funds have re-
ceived the enormous accession Of
100000, the gift of Henry Phipps, the
well-known Pittsburg steel man.
To Relieve Widows and Orphans.
In notifying General Botha of tie
gift Mr.. Phipps wrote from Beaufort
castle, Scotland, Sept. 20, that he and
his family had followed the course Of
the war with anxious hearts and were
eager for the sake of both sides that
just ending might be made. Nov
! that the war is over" continued Nj
Phipps, 1T is privilege, and, | be-
lieve the sufferings caused By the
war. feel that the best service /
could render would be to provide
| 100000 for the relief of the Boer
widows and young orphans fund, to
be disblrSed by you and two others
| Ny desire is that the temporary mis-
cry Of the women and children should
be relieved. and at the same time |
trust nothing will be done which
could justly be described as unfriend-
~ to Great Britain"
General Botha, in his reply, dated
from Brussels, Sept. 81, asknowledg.
ing this most generous and unex-
pected gift" adds, in part:
No Hostility to England.
II have not the slightest hesitation
in giving you assurance that the
money will be used solely and en-
freely philanthropically and that it
will in no way be applied to do any
thing which could be justly described
as unfriendly to Great Britain.
Your generosity will always be
most thankfully remembered by me
and all those who are to benefit
thereby. In behalf Of them, as we'll as
General Delarey and myself, I tender
you our deepest thanks, and may the
Lord reward you"
Attached to the correspondence is
letter from Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain to Arnold White, saying
that as he understands Mr.. Phipps'
gift is purely philanthropic he will be
willing to render any assistance in
his power to secure its proper admin
istration, even though the fund is con-
fined to assisting the Beers. Mr..
Chamberlain points out that the
fund, naturally, would appeal more
strongly to English sympathy if its
object was to assist all the widows
and orphans who have suffered
through the war, without distinction
of races or politics.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that
is the order of a woman's preferences.
Jewels form a magnet of mighty
power to the average woman. Even
that greatest of al jewels, health, is
often ruined in the strenuous efforts
to make or save the money to purchase
them. If woman will risk her
health to get coveted gem, then let
her fortify herself against the in

and bronchial affections by the regular
use of DR.. Boschee's German Syrup.
It will promptly arrest consumption
in it's early stages and heal the affect

Why Not?

North Edisto, S. c., July 4, 1902.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I have thought long while that
some citizen of our county would
publicly advocate the annexation Of
strip of territory 80 as to take in that
part of Batesburg that lies in Saluda
county, and more especially since
Little Mountain went over to New
berry and came near causing US to
lose our newly acquired representa-
tive. Would it not be the part of
wisdom to take this step and thus
avoid the loss of our representative
or the wrangle over it? The above
is written without any knowledge as
to the will Of the people of Batesburg
but it looks reasonable that the town
as a corporation would prefer being
in one county. We would be glad to
see this done for the good of the
county and Bstesburg.
Yours very truly,
J. F. Lyles.

The barbecue at Pond Branch last
Saturday is deserving of more than
passing notice because it was practic.
ally the opening of the county cam
paigu. The turn out of the people
was very satisfactory and was an
incentive for the boys to warm up in
telling the dear people the why's and
the wherefores Of their platform of
principles and their peculiar fitness
to perform the duties of the Office to
which they aspired. The crowd
numbered about 250, who had left
their homes to hear the political
issues discussed and to pull pig ribs
and mutton chops. The crowd was
representative one and these people
have wide reputation for their high
standard of citizenship, their intelli-
gence and their interest in religious
and social duties which makes this
rich field in which to harvest votes,
and it is but natural for the candi-
dates to plant deep, SOW the seeds we'll
and fully cultivate the soil so as to
reap an abundant yield on the day
of election. All the candidates an
nounced up to that time were present
excepting W. NJ. Wilson, B B. Hitler,
Paul E. Hutto, VIM. A. Spires Jr.,
and George A. Shealy. Not being
able to be present in person We have
to depend upon the we'll written &C.
count of the meeting sent US by Mr.
Cyrus L. Shealy of Summit, which is
published else where in this issue.

The senatorial meeting at ST

The senatorial meeting at St.
Georges was the most exciting one
80 far held. The incident that made
it such was the giving of the Gle"
to Latimer by Evans. At one time
things looked really squally and the
interference of the Sheriff was Deces-
sary to quell the disturbance. Dur
ing the recess for dinner Latimer
went to the room of Evans and de-
manded an interview. This was
declined and Evans left his room
and dined at another hotel. The
incident for that day closed, but
there is no telling when and where
it will break out again as both as
pirants for the Senatorial toga are
standing over powder magazine and
it only needs the match to be applied
to send them both into kingdom
come. Evans had on several occa-
sions referred to Latimer as using
free railroad passes, dealing in pic
lures, claiming the credit for the
adoption of the Free Rural Delivery
system, etc. Latimer said he was
tired of being probed with such stuff
and retaliated by reminding Evans
of the $4,000 bond deal, whisky
rabates and several other minor
charges for him to answer. Evans
denied these charges as lie and any
one who repeated them was a liar.
This brought on the trouble. It is
case of whose OK is gored and might
be we'll enough for every fellow to
see that his own dirty linen is clean.

Mr.. Lever was even more marked by
reason of it being the home county
of his opponent. Private adVlces
received from there are to the effect
that he carried the crowd by storm,
and that at the conclusion of his
speech he was lifted bodily from the
stand by stalwart and enthusiastic
admirers. Our information is. and
it did not come from Mr.. Lever
either, that if there ever was doubt
about the Lexington boy carrying
Orangeburg county, that doubt was
dissipated by the demonstrations at
this meeting. We have not word
to say against Mr.. MCLAUGHLIN. Il
is his right to enter the race for Con-
gress from the Seventh District
if he sees fit to 90 so. He may be a
good, competent and capable young
man for aught We know to the con-
trary, but he is simply not in it and
never was from the beginning. Mr..
Lever is entitled to reelection by
every consideration. His merit has
won it for him; his devotion to duty,
the interest of the people and the
welfare of the District all point in
perfect harmony in demanding his
return to Congress.
