of dull pains in his stomach had re-

Mr.. Cleveland really ought to stir

G.. w. & j. {. Bauknight Have Sale sse Right Of
A Surprise In Seneca.

Seneca, s. c., March 23,-The
election for Intendant and Wardens
was held here to-day. The election
passed off very quietl,5, but at the
close of the balloting it was some
what surprising to learn that a man
was elected who was not candidate
for the Office, and out of town when
the election came off. However,
there were only thirty eight regis
tered to vote in this election and
there was very little interest taken.
There was a "citizens' meeting" on
Friday evening for .the purpose of
nominating the officers, and the
following persons were nominated /:
For Mayor, w. f. Austin for War
dens, J. w. Stribling, J. w. Harper,
j. w. Byrd and o. f. Bacon. The
voters had not pledged themselves
and they put out an independent
ticket and elected DR.. w. r. DOYLE
for Mayor and the above named gen.
tlemen for the Wardens. DR.. Doyle
filled this Office for several years,
and will not be much embarrassed in
serving the city of Seneca as Mayor.
1t is said that he was one of the best
lntendants that the town has ever
had.

FIRE in ANDERSON.
One Of the Main Buildings Of the Anderson
Mattress Company's Plant Was Destroyed.

Anderson, March &c. One of the
main buildings of the Anderson Mat
tress Factory Company's plant was
destroyed by fire this morning at
nine o'clock. The fire originated in
the mattress ginning department.,
and the materials in the building
being of a highly inflammable nature,
the fire was quickly communicated
to other portions of the building, AID
the entire building was quickly con-
snmed. If the wind had been a
little higher the fire would have been
disastrous, and it took the most
strenuous work upon the part of the
firemen and citizens to prevent the
spread of fire to adjacent residences
as it was. There is considerable
comment, criticism and discomfort
due to the fact that there was an
utter lack of adequate water supply
with which to fight the fire. 1t is
plain that somebody was at fault,
and another similar lapse might be
thoroughly disastrous to this thriv-
ing city. The loss was about $40, 900
and Is nearly covered by insurance.

SENATOR LATlmER AT HOME.
The Junior Senator Talks About His Work.
Rural Mail Routes.

/
Senator A. O. Latimer came up
from his home at Belton and spent
yesterday in the city. He was kept
busy while here shaking hands with
his friends. He was seen I'M the
afternoon by reporter and was
asked for an interview. He said in
reply to question that he was be-
ginning to feel at home in his Sena-
torial shoes, although it was little
hard for him to realize at first that
he was no longer an exclusive repre-
sentative of the Third District, but
had to look after the interests of the
whole State. Letters have been
piling in on him, however, from all
over the State, and now he realizes
that he has somewhat larger posi-
tion than that of Congressman. Mr..
Latimer says he thinks he will find
the service in the Senate pleasant.
The Senate is smaller body than the
House, and it is possible to know all
the members more intimately than
in the House.
I AS to the two treaties that were
ratified at the special session, Mr..
Latimer says that neither of them
were entirely satisfactory to the
Democrats. The minority had the
alternative of agreeing to the ratifi-
cation of the treaties in the shape
satisfactory to the Republicans or of
prolonging the special session. "Ma-
jorities always get all they want,
though" said Mr.. Latimer, "and
after consultation we didn't see that
any great advantage could be gained
by prolonged fight, and treaties
went through"
Mr.. Latimer is gratifed at the re-
turn of Senator German to the SEN
ate, and thinks that under his leader
ship the outlook for the party in
Congress is brighter than it has been.
Senator German is fine and safe
leader, he says, and will be able to
reunite the Democratic forces and
keep them together.
Mr.. Latimer stated that Mr.. w. T..
Brown, a special rural mail route in
spector, is now at work in this sec
ton, and that it is his intention to
make an inspection of the routes now
In operation and to establish num-
Der OF new ones. He will be at
Belton for some weeks, and if there
are any complaints as to routes now
in operation, or if any changes are
desired, letters addressed to him at
Belton will receive prompt attention.
Mr.. Brown has orders from the post
Office department to give attention
to all matters of this kind in this
section, and to be guided by any
recommendations that Mr.. Latimer
may make.
There are applications now on file
in Washington for the establishment
OF about sixty new routes in the
Third Congressional District, and it
is likely that nearly all of these will
be established. After. finishing the
work in this section Mr.. Brown will
go to other parts of the State.-An-
derson Daily Mail, March 26.

South Carolina CoIIege-Term for Teachers

The South Carolina College has
issued an attractive circular announc-
ing spring term for teachers, of six
weeks, from April 13 to May 90, de-
signed for teachers whose school
terms may admit of attendance. By
special act of the Legislature such
students are exempted from tuition
and other college fees. Their only
expenses will be for board.
A number of special courses, ex-
pressly designed for teachers, are
offered: In Chemistry, course in
Elementary Chemistry, and in Labo-
ratory Practice; in Modern Ian
guages, English, German, Spanish !;
in History, South Carolina History,
and Methods of History Teaching !;
in Philosophy, Psychology and
Ethics, applied to school problems !;
in Pedagogics, a practical course,
adapted to the needs of the class !;
in Ancient Languages, Elementary
Latin, and Elementary Greek; in
Mathematics, course in Arithmetic,
and in Algebra in English, course
in Grammar and in Rhetoric in
Biology, practical course in Botany {;
in Physics, course of Elementary
Physics, with such apparatus as may
be had in schools.
In addition to such special courses,
teacher-pupils are allowed free at
tendance upon any of the regular
college classes. Courses are open to
the free election of teachers, under
proper regulations.
These courses of instruction are
offered as supplementary to the
work OF the summer schools, or in
lieu thereof, when attendance on
summer schools may not be practi.
cable. Their purpose is, as in the
summer schools, to elevate the work
of teaching in the schools of the
State-an object which seems espe-
cially appropriate in connection with
the Normal Department, already es-
tablished in the South Carolina Col
lege.
The same circular also calls special
attention to the Normal scholarships
of $40 each, with exemption from
College fees--recently established
by the Legislature in this College.
These scholarships will 60 into effect
next session.

of which were richer than it IL few
