Another small boy came to grief
yesterday afternoon from playing
with railroad torpedo. Marion
Funk, the nine-year-old son of Capt.
". r. Funk. was the victim this
time and he narrowly escaped with
his life. The bursting torpedo split
his hand open and badly lacerated
one Of his ears. Fortunately the
blow on the head was a glancing
one, 1t is to be hoped that this
time the warning conveyed will be
needed by other boys who select
the railroad as their play ground.

We desire to say to our friends
and patrons that we are still carry
ing on business at The old stand,
where we are better than ever before
prepared to serve them.
This will be perhaps the hardest
year that our farmers have had to
contend with since the war, anu feel
ing this ourselves we are going to
make il a study to try to place pro-
visions OF all kinds in Kingstree for
as little money as they possibly can
be laid down here for and sold on a
strictly cash basis. Any business
man knows that Corn, Grts. Bacon,
Molasses, Flour and such like goods
are the same as money. And what
our people need in Kingstree is a
man who is able to cope with the
outside business world and bring
them to their doors as cheap as they
can get them in any market. This
can only be done with the money.
and at the outset we want to tell our
customers that it takes money to mn
this kind of business, Tt never has
been attempted here before. 1t is
purely experimental, and whether it
shall succeed or fail depends upon
the support the people shall give it.
In this day and age in order to keep
up with the markets of the world
Il man has to study themand make ia
business and get prices way down in
order to know when and where to
buy. With these introductory
remarks we want now briefly to tell
you some of the goods We handle,yix:
CORN, SUGAR,
| OATS, COFFEE,
HAY, CIGARS,
GRITS, TOBACCO,

capital the diameter is II feet inches.
Just below the capital bronze astra.
gal bears the dates 1861, 1862, 1868 and
1854 on the four different sides of the
shaft These are lighted at night, Mid
way of the shaft is second astragal in
bronze emblematic of the navy, and
farther down a third astragal in bronze
represents the army.
On the east and west sides of the
base of the shaft are two groups of
Statuary representing War and Peace.
These are the largest groups of figures
ever cut from the rough stone At a
height of about 225 feet is the platform
of the capital, reached by elevators.
This outlook affords a fine view of the
city of Indianapolis. The monument
has its own electric plant. which fur.
nishes power for the elevators and for
the lights.
The plaza on which the monument is
situated has diameter of 342 feet and
is adorned by bronze statues of George
Rogers Clark. the explorer, and Gov.
ernors William Henry Harrison, Oliver
p. Morton, the war governor of the
state, and James Whitcomb.
In the scheme of establishment Of
the plaza are included two great foun-
tains. the largest in the United States.
From each of these fountains 1000 gal
Ions of water flow every minute, de-
scending in beautiful cascades. These
are kept flowing continuously from a.
N. to 8 p. m. for six months in the year.
The monument is constructed of the
peculiar limestone discovered in Indi.
ana quarries in the last few years and
which has generally been substituted
for granite. The particular variety Sc.
lected for the monument is almost
cream white in color and takes a good
polish. 1t is much less expensive and
more easily worked than granite and is
said to be far more durable Even fire
does not affect it.
The idea Of building the monument
first took shape in 1875, but it was not
until 1884, when the Grand Army Of
the Republic took charge Of the work,
that any progress was made in raising
funds. When something over $4,000
had been collected. the state stepped in

RANGER STATESMAN
cuSHMAN OF WASHINGTON A UNIQUE
FIGURE IN CONGRESS.

Rose From Cowboy to lie Power

Congressman Francis W. Cushman

most interesting figures in congress.
where he is known as the Ranger
Statesman" But this is not the first
time that Mr.. Cushman has attracted
national attention by his vigorous and
breezy way of saying things.
Last year he made unique and er-
fective speech against the river and
harbor bill that not only stamped him
as genuine humorist. but as a keen
and forcefuI speaker who was not
afraid to speak his mind, no matter
whose toes were trodden on. On that
occasion he attacked the method of
making river and harbor appropria-
tons in manner that the committee
will not soon forget 1t is said that it
was the first time that any member of
the house had ever seen the chairman
of the committee ratified.
This was really Mr.. Cushman's intro.
ductiOn to the house He had been there
for some time prior. but no one knew
it. He had sat silent. but Observant,
until he could repress himself no Ion
ger. When he got through. every one
was talking about the new member
from Washington and wondering why
they had never heard of him before.
In his home state Mr. CuShman is
known as THE Abe Lincoln of the
northwest" This title is applied on ac-
count of his tall. angular ungainly
figure and his propensity for story tell
ing as means of clnching an argu-
ment or forcing point. He is over six
feet tall and does not weigh over $50
pounds. He has Il smooth face. high
cheek bones and a rather small head.
A No. II collar is big enough, and six
and half hat would fit him, but his
head is crammed full of brains
When speaking. his long. bony arms
sweep wildly through the air. but his
ungainlincss of figure is forgotten in
the flow of language from his lips.
He talks rapidly, but his words are
well chosen. lie is one of the best
speakers in the house.

of courteses of very formidable
character and are entirely beyond the
means of an officer who does not pos
sess private fortune.
The appointment of naval represent
ative to the coronation was rendered
Captain Clark in recognition of splen-
did services in the Spanish war as
commander of the battleship Oregon.
The pay of a captain in the United
States navy is $4,000 per year while at
sea and $2,9T5 while doing shore duty.
Out of this he must furnish uniforms
and maintain his table besides support
ing his family. The expenses of the
captains table are necessarily large,
as he is compelled frequently to enter
tain officers of foreign ships and the
officials of the ports which he visits.
So a naval commander who has moth
ing but his pay finds little opportuni-
ty to accumulate much of a bank ac-
count.
The president has appointed Rear
Admiral John G. Watson in Captain
Clark's stead. Admiral Watson is now
on duty as president of the naval ex-
amining board, with headquarters at
Washington.

WON'T GO TO ENGLAND.
Why Captain Clark Declines Place
ON Coronation Embassy.


ON Coronation Embassy.
Captain Charles E. Clark. who was
appointed special naval representative
of the United States TO the coronation
of King Edward of England. has decid-
ed that coronations are not in his line
and has declined the appointment. Cap
tain Clark is as brave as the bravest
when on the deck of batteship he
confronts the enemy. but the thought
of taking part in the ceremonies Incl.
dent TO placing the emblem of SOW
ereiSnty on the royal pate of Edward
VII. may have struck fear to the stout
heart of the sailor.
At all events Captain Clark has de-
clined the honor, and. while no grounds
are stated. it is understood that he
cannot afford to spend the money that
the mission for which he was slated
would demand. Captain Clark would
have only a small allowance from the
government and would be obliged to
spend large amount in excess of that.
The position involves personal out.
