Cotton Mill Insurance.

The cotton mills of this State
have organized a mutual insurance
company with headquarters at
Greenville for the purpose of insur-
ing members against loss by fire,
storms, etc. The company is known

No Need for Worry About Grant.

General Fred Grant, few months
ago received a letter which he
showed his army friends in Luzon as
joke at his own expense, and
which, therefore, may properly be
promulgated.
The generals son, U. S. Grant,
third, is cadet at West Point, now
a first class man and cadet adjutant.
But earlier in his course the father
became anxious about him and i'm
parted his anxiety by mail from the
Philippines to professor in the
academy, contemporary of his own,
begging him TO send exact and conf
dental information as to the CADETS
standing. The answer which re-
lieved his anxiety was as follows:
"Dear Fred: You needn't worry.
The boy stands higher in. every
thing than you ever did in any
thing."-New York Times.

Half Million Tickets Printed.

The tickets for use for the State
and Senatorial elections are now
being sent to the various county
chairmen in accordance with the
estimates furnished by them of the
number needed. There have been
half a million tickets printed and
this should be a sufficient number to
meet all possible demands. Those
who are thoroughly familiar with
South Carolina election matters pre-
dict that the total number of votes
in the first primary will not be over
$4,000, and say it may not reach
that figure. Richland has been fur
nished with 10000 tickets. Charles
ton and Greenville take 10000 each
and Spartanburg takes $4,000. An

Wasted Lives.

We have seen fine lives wasted
through a love of wine-some in
one channel and some in another.
1t it never comes to actual drunken
ness, it lowers the man and spoils
his influence. So it is with the tale
bearer, or tell-tale. He lowers
himself and spoils his influence.
How many would be grandly useful,
but for some wretched impedimentl
Worthlessness runs away with many
a mans energies; love in this petty
work, he thinks, makes great cutters
in other peoples fields; though, the
volcano never throws its contents so
far but that the crater can be found.
Fondness for feasts and eilded
truthlessness robs him of his sphere
of usefulness in the community
where he works. He is always gag
ing at his fellowman and never stops
before the mirror of truthfulness to
behold his own likeness.
When person indulges in this
hopeless, degrading, conceited and
deceptine practice, he ought to be
the possessor of a wonderful men,
ory-a memory that will retain a
chain of despicable expressions suf-
ticient to reach thrice around the
world, so that he could bridge over
the canyons of truth with clearer
conscience than the common in
truder. Ananias and pphira we're
up to date in this petty work, and
they faltered. They fell dead at
Peters rebuke for telling falsehood.
If Peter could only rebuke the same
characters today, sections of our
country would have chill. And /
fear many of our churches would
have no one left to tell what had
happened.
The tale-bearer is like sputter-
ing candle. You see it's fire and
light, but something extraneous and
mischievous is at work, and it needs
to be removed. Such characters
need to be snuffed with gold snuffers.
They may well desire the Lord to
snuff them, however painful the ope-
ration may be. Depend upon it, we
have no life force to spare, and
everything that lessons our conse.
Grated energy to the truth is rob-
berry of God. Jonathan Oldstyle.

HEAVY LOSSES OF GOVERNOR.
Said to Have Parted With $1,000 at Charles
ton During Exposition.


Charleston, August 15.-Some of
the Atlanta visitors to the Charleston
Exposition who lost money in a
crooked gambling house here, which
was subsequently, broken up by the
police, will be interested in state
ment made by Magistrate Louis
Manigault, in the Civil Court at
Portsmouth. Manigault was sum-
moned to Virginia to appear as a
witness ii a civil sa;tt against Charles
Harper. Harper claimed to have
lost heavily in Charleston and Mani
gault was asked to bear witness to
that effect. According to the testi.
mony Harper dropped $4,000 against
sundry games which fiourished in
Charleston during the exposition
period.
Perhaps the most sensational
statement in Manigault's testimony
was that Governor of certain
State lost $1,000 in cold cash in one
nights high play at Charleston.
This testimony was given under
oath, and while ex parte in the Har-
per suit, it went to show that all
manner of high rolling marked the
sporting end of Charleston's big
show.
Local sporting people claim that
if this money was dropped it fe.! to
the sharpers, whose work finally got
to the ear of the police after visitors
had made violent complaints of
being fieeced. A club room was
opened here where local PLAYERS
were not allowed. Well groomed
men met the trains, pretended to be
bankers of Charleston and finally got
the unsuspecting visitors to the
fashionable dives, where they were
soon relieved of their cash. On one
occasion these grafters met Ten
nessee delegation, claiming to be a
citizens committee, and it has long
been a question as to how much the
Tennesseeans dropped into the sport
ing club. Many Georgians fell into
this local trap and one visitor from
that State complained to the police
and assisted in having the gang
driven out of town.

The Exposlslon's Larses. Creditor.

Charleston, August 49, The claim
of Capt. f. w. WAGNER, president of
the Exposition Company, against
the company was fled in the Office of
Master g. Herbert Sass last Mon
day. The total amount of the claim
is $152,952.32. The claim of Capt.
Wagner is larger than the total of all
the others. 1t is lengthy one
and each amount is specified. It
shows that the money due him is
for notes endorsed by himself, and
for overdrafts on different banks of
the city guaranteed by him. 1t also
shows that he paid out considerable
money as interest on notes. Capt.
Wagner includes the expense of his
trip to Washington and Baltimore.
Besides the claim of Capt. Wagener
several other claims were filed, which,
added to the claim of Capt. Wagener
and total of all of the others, brings
the total amount of claims up to
$13S,210.99. Among those who
filed claims today was Mr.. j. f.
Ficken for s4,470 for services rem
dered as attorney for the exposition.

for the Northern cattle raisers, but it
is most unfair to the Southern raiser,
for it leaves him to the tender mercy
of the-fev without the knowledge
of how to fight it and at the same
time shuts him out of the Northern
markets and deprives him of the
benefits of the higher prices to be OBJ

This is the only disease and the

hesitate to invest their money in
cattle when each year sees hundreds

and nothing done to remedy the
evil. This disease can be stopped,
and we trust the farmers and the
stock raisers of this State especially
will unite in demanding, through
our Representatives in Washington,
that the government will expend
some of its energies in the infected
district and give us relief from this
costly disease, that we may raise, at
least, enough beef for home con.

Unusua! Malicious Mischief.

An unusual story of malicious
deviltry comes from Brushy Creel
township. Several nights ago, it il
said, that somo miscreant went to
plantation near Mount Airy and
cut down an acre or 80 of cotton. an
acre of corn and all the growing
stuff in garden on the place.
The growing stalks were cut
smoothly, as if with knife. There
is no clue as to the identity of the
villains.
1t is hard to conceive that any
kind of person would commit offences
OF this kind, and no punishment
would be too severe for them if they
can be caught. 1t is said there have
been offences of this kind in that
section before, and this should, and
doubtless will, stimulate the people
to use every effort to have the guilty
person ferretod out and punished. -

For Tax Reform.

The State Board of Equalization
has been having lots of trouble try
ing to arrive at an equitable basis
for the appraisement of property for
taxation, and on last Friday COM
mittee of that body prepared a
memorial to the general assembly on
the subject The preamble reads as
follows:
To the Honorable, the G neral AS
sembly:
Whereas, grave Irregularities ex-
ist in the valuation of all classes of
property throughout the State,
which inequality majority of the
State Board considered it impossible
to correct or even modify uuder ex-
listing laws; and
Whereas said inequalities leave
the real estate of certain counties
of the State assessed at from to
80 per centum above that of other
counties and
Whereas, personal property gen
orally is believed to be assessed at
about GO per cent. Of its market
value, except as to the matter of
merchandise, which upon reliable in
formation presented to the Board
appears to be assessed at from 35 to
5 per cent of its market value; and
Whereas, it is believed that lust
and equitable amendments to the
existing tax law will alleviate, if not
correct, existing defects; therefore,
be it resolved, etc.
The most important of the reso-
lutions reads:
We recommend that the county
auditor in making his annual assess
ment of property, may have author
ity to summon his Township Board
of Assessors to sit with him for
such time as it is nesessary to take
the returns of the entire township.
and when the return is taken that it
be passed to the Township Board,
who shall immediately proceed to

taking returns the Auditor be allowed
the assistance of clerk at a reason

Is made and passed on by tho board,
shall proceed to enter the same in

ing the Auditor shall have assessed
their property, that said board then
