Bugs In Gutter.

Several days ago a very unpIeas-
ant odor was detected by County
Clerk Lasswell in the proximity OF
his offices. An effort was made to
locate the spot from whence the
odor came but with little success.
Day by day the odor became more
offensive and County Surveyor
Martin was compelled to vacate his
offics in the basement. Yesterday
however, the mystery was explain
ed. The gutter at the corner of Mr..
Lasswell's Office was taken down
and bushel or two of dead crickets
were found in it, 1t is supposed
they had been in the gutter since the
fret cold spell several weeks ago.

The City Council.

The city council met in regular
session Tuesday night with Mayor
Pickett presiding and a full board
present. The session was short
and the proceedings of a rather tame
nature. Outside of the routine bus
mess, such as receiving reports OF
officers and standing committees
little of interest was transacted.
Alderman Thompson suggested
that the foundation for the new ma
ehinery at the water station be made
at once SO it would nave plenty of
time to settle before the machinery
arrives. The matter was referred
to the water committee with power
to act.
Chairman Timmins, of the fire
committee, reported that he and the
chief of the department had tenn
porarlly arranged to retain Bill Pat
ton as engineer, with Hopson and
Phillips as assistants.
A called meeting of the council
was held yesterday afternoon to
take charge of the sewer line in the
alley at the rear of the Texas Mort
gage Banking Company's build
ing which has heretofore belonged
to private parties. The line was do
mated to the city by the former
owners.

Caracas, Venezuela, August 26-c1udad Bolivar. capital of the state of Bolivar, has beer bombarded by a Venezuelan government warship and many persons were killed or wounded. The place has large British population and the British subjects have requested that a warshfp of Great Britain be sent for their prorec- tfcn. It is alleged that atrocities have been committed in Ciudad Bolivar by both the government troops and the revo- lutionists.
 Ciudad Bolivar is still in the power of the revolutionists. The town was fired upon Hay and night by the gunboats Bolivar and Restaurador, which attempt ed to land forces to reoccupy the place. About 600 shells were fired into the city. When the ammunition of the Restaurador was exhausted she left for La Guayra 10 obtain additional supplies. aftee which the bomtardment will, be resumed.
 There are no foreign warships in tho Orinoco river to protect the interests of the DOW CTS, and tho British government is being blamed In certain quarters for abandoning the 5000 subjects of Great Britain who reside in the district of Ciu- dad Bolivar.

ANOTHER DEAL FOR
 SEABOARD AIR LINE
DETROIT SOUTHERN GETS CON- TRoL OF IRON RAILWAY AND WILL FORM AGREEMENT WITH SEABoARD.

Detroit. Mich, August 26.-The Tribune will say tomorrow morning:
 Frederick J. Lisman of New York, vice president of the Detroit Southern railway and one of the heaviest stock- holders, arrived in Detroit today from Ironton, where he attended the meeting at which the Iron railway was turned over to the Detroit Southern.
 MT. Lisman confirmed the report that the Detroit Southern and the Seaboard Air Line are negotiating a traffic agree ment. He said the new route thus form ed will shorten, by 100 miles, existing routes between the coal fields and the manufact uring districts of the south and will give the Detroit Southern easy ac- cess to the Seaboard Air Line terminals on the coast
 Rumors were current today of this agreement. but Detroit brokers were un- able to get any confirmation from Wall street
 This arrangement will give the De- troit Southern direct connections through the great Pocahontas coal fields with Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee and enable vessels to coal south of Cape Hatteras a matter which is consider ed of great moment in maritime circles" said MT. Iisman.
 From Ironton the Detroit Southern will parties interested in the Detroit South ern and Seaboard Air Line build a line through the Big Sandy valley and Wise county, Virginia to Lincolnton, N. C., where 1t will join the Seaboard Air Line"

 Partial returns received up to midnight from forty-one counties show that in the contest for the United States senator ship to succeed United States Senator McLaurin.

A second primary will be called to deter mine the nominations for the offices of lieutenant governor, secretary of state, comptroller general, railroad eommis- sibner and congressional represen tatives.

WILL CARRY BIG GUNS {.
Battleships Louisiana and Connecticut
 Will Be Heavily Armed.

Washington. August 26.-The Connecti- cut and Louisiana, the two new battle ships authorized by the last naval ap- propriation bill, will carry the most pow erful guns measured by calibre in the world. With the building of each new set of battleships Admiral O'Nei. chief of the bureau of ordnance, has tried to in crease the power of the main batteries, and for the Connecticut and Louisiana he intends to increase the big turret guns to 45 caibre.
 Not only will this lengthening of the guns increase their efficiency as to range and velocity( and therefore penetrating power), but it will constitute a distinct advantage to the ships. The muzzle of guns of forty calibres when swung broad side just reach the rail, and the side blast when fired prevents the use of sec- ondary guns immediately below. By in creasing the length to 45 calibre. the mug zles of the guns are carried well out board

AMen. OLUMBrA. S. C.. August 2s.-
 Democratic primaries for nomi- WH nation of governor and state ticket, congressional representatives and state legislators were held throughout the state today. Ballots were also cast to determine a successor to United States Senator McLaurin. It Is estimated that 90,oOO votes were boiled, but on account of late returns only SO0O0 votes had been reported up to midnight tonight.
 Owing to the South Carolina primary law, which demands that successful can didates must receive a majority of tho votes cast in primaries, IL Is entirely probable that a seocnd primary will be ordered in which the twoNIeading candi- dstes fer every office which failed to re- ceive a nominating vote will be entered. Every nomination, with the single excep- tion of state treasuryship was bitterly contested by many candidates.
 From returns that have been reported 1t is understood that D. c. Hayward of Colleton js far ahead in the race for the
