Pugilism appears to have be-
come the pastime of the United
States senator's. Tillman and Nc
Laurin's $ bout in the senate cham
her started the thing. Then Sen
ator Money had a scrap with a
street car conductor and now Sen
ator McLaurin and a South Caro-
linaRepublican have had a mix-up.
The junior senator's latest entag
onist is II man of fine physique
over six feet tall and well proper
toned, and that McLaurin got the
best of the encounter is evidence
that his former athletic training
still stood him in good stead. -

VAN WYCK ITEMS.

Van Wyck school closed sue
cessful session last Friday night
with: "a very entertaining program
of songs, recitations and dialogues
in which the pupils acquitted
themselves remarkably well,
showing careful training by Prof.
Thompson. The patrons are we'll
pleased with the faithful and eff.
ticient service of Mr.. Thompson
and are gratified that the trustees
have employed him fer another ten
months term, to begin the first
Monday in August. Van Wyck
is to be congratulated on its good
school and we bespeak greater
things for It in the near future.
Onr people were saddened by
the news of the death of Prof.
Shurley of Pleasant Valley. While
he was not of our immediate com
munlty, he had taught numb Der
of our boys and girls who were
much attached to him, aud our
people felt great interest in this
good man, and the many geod
things he was doing. We feel
the great loss of such a man and
sympathise with those on whom
the blow falls most heavily and
hope his mantle may fall on anoth-
er who may fill the places left va
cant by so useful man.
Mrs. j. K. Strickland returned
from Chester last week where she
had been spending some time with
her parents, Mr.. & Mrs. j. II.

are domiciled in their new parson-

greeted and welcomed to their
genial home, hut the chief attruC
ton there now is bright blue ey-

Didn't Pay Him To Stay Dead
Wilcox Agreed to Being Buried
for Set Sum, But When He
Heard Amount of Receipts
He Yelled fer Release
Charleston Post

>ouarleSlOn IOSt
And it came to pass that one
John I. Wilcox who on last We'd
nesday night was possessed of a
desire to he buried alive on the
midway, and who had his desire
sati' fled, arose from his grave af
ter having spent one night under
ground. Wilcox came forth YES
ter day afternoon and today Is
walking about the streets of Char,
lesion just like nu ordinary citl
zen and is none the worse for his
rcpose in his cold grave.
The story ui The resurrection of
/ Wilcox Aestrr,;ay afternoon eX-
! posed the greatest fake that has
ever attem..ted The Charleston
public. The officials of The Ex-
position do not hesitate to say it
was fraud and they made Viii
Cox and Prof. Henderson or Hen
Erickson, leave the grounds yes
terday.
Tho fact is Wilcox was never
hypnotized or put to sleep as some
people are wont to believe. He
agreed to be buried alive for the
sum of 800 and on Wednesday
night he was laid awav in the
ground i'll cheap pine coffin. A
wooden shaft about six inches
square extending from the head
of the coffin to about three feet
above the surface of the grave to
furnish an opening for air. 1t
was through this shaft that visi-
tors to the midway were allowed
to peep at ten cents peep. 1t al
so served as an opening through
which the buried man was fed and
given drink. He was fed We'd
nesday night and yesterday sever :
nj bottles of beer were lowed to
HIM by means of string. Occa-
sionally a cigar or cigarette
would be dropped into the shaft
and Wilcox indulged in the plea
sure of a smoke when no one was
looking.
When the rain came yesterday
afternoon water began to rise in
the grave. His coffin became
damp and clammy and there was
great danger of the man being
drowned. Wilcox wondered how
much money had been taken in
for he did not like the idea of be-
ing in the ground unless there was
a goSd revenue coming in. He
yelled up the shaft to the ticket
taker and asked how much money
had been taken in during the day.
When the voice came from the
grave woman had just peeped in
at the buried man, having just
paid the sum of ten cents for the
privilege and the deep, hollow
voice of the man frightened her
and she ran away. 81 say"
said Wilcox, "what are the re
ceipts for the day?' The ticket
taker placed his mouth at the
opening and yelled back: "Seven-
ty cents "Oh, H-ll," said
the buried man, "take me out,
I'm not going to stay in this hole
for seventy cents
a force sf grave diggers were
put tc wo:k with shovels and
spades and soon Wilcox was lifted
from his tomb.

TO be impossible for Europe to allow a pi-

against the Monroe doctrine the editorial
concludes:
America should keep her disorderly

INDUSTRIES LOCALIZED.
Interesting Bulletin Issued by the

The census bureau has issued bulletin
on the subject of the localization Of indus
tries. The bulletin has been prepared bv
Mr.. Frederick S. Hail, under the direction OF
S. n. d. North, chief statistician for MANN
factures.
Measured by the value of products more
than S5 per cent of the collar and cuff
manufacture is carried on in Troy. N. Y.
more than I'd per cent of the oyster-can-
ming industry in Baltimore, Md; more than
o4 per cent of the manufacture of gloves
in the adjoining cities of Gloversville and
Johnstown, n. Y; more than As per cent
of the coke manufacture in the Connefls-
Vile district. Pennsylvania; more than A.
per cent of the manufacture of brassWare
In Waterbury, Conn; more than 10 per cent
OF the manufacture of carpets in Philadel-
phia, Pa; more than 40 per cent of the
manufacture of jewelry in Providence, R. l..
and the adjoining towns of Attleboro and
North Attieboro, Mass; more than n; nar
cent of the silverware manufacture in
Providence, r. l.; more than 35 per cent of
the slaughtering and meat-packing industry
IN Chicago, H.; more than 80 per cent of
the manufacture of plated and britannia
ware in Meriden, Conn; more than "a per
cent of the agriculture implement industry
in Chicago, H., and more than "a per cent
or the silk industry In Paterson, N. J.
The number of wage-e earners engaged In
slaughterng and meat packing in south
Omaha, Neb constituted 500 per cent of
the total number employed in all industries
in the city during that year.
IN conclusion, it should Denoted Mr.
Hall says. that in propprtiopr as a coun-
try develops industrally and upon a larger
scale in proportion, moreover, as there is
a mobility of labor and freedom from the
influence of inherited and over-conserva-
tive ideas, the localizauon Of industries
tends TO be governed increasingly by purely
economical considerations and less by the
fortuttous considerations which accounted
in many cases for locaIization in earlier
years. The influence off industrial combi-
nation in this direction has already be-
come marked The system of uniform
bookkeeping, introduced in many such com
binauons, enables managers TO know ac-
curately the comparative advantages of
several localities for the industry in ques-

CHOLERA IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Due to Neglect of Civil Authorities in
>Sanitarv Matters

Officers of the army medical corps in
Washington attribute the spread and tenac-
ity of the cholera epidemic in the Philip
pines in great part to the almost complete
negligence of the Filipino civil authorities
at a number of inland towns, who were eN-
pected to keep up the excellent sanitary
work performed by the army medical Of
ficers in the islands after the withdrawal of
the American garrisons. 1t is said here
that the Filipino administrators are entirely
out of sympathy with the work of SANTA
tion which was begun and carried on so
well by the American army officers and
take no material steps to check the ray
ages of the disease, allowing the people of
the towns to drink all and any kinds of
water and otherwise expose themselves to
the contagion. It is declared here that if
the American medical officers We're still In
charge of the towns the spread of the ter
rible disease would not have attained half
it's present proportions in those parts.
The only hope for the complete eradica-
ton of the disease is that the heavy rains
will clear out the streams In the past this
has been the way epidemics have been
brought to an end.
