The Riohland county grand jury,
on making it's presentment, makes
the following report as to the short
age of ex-Coanty Treasurer j. s.
Campbell:
Commencing with the taxes of
1897, 1898, 1899, 1900 and a part of
1901, covering term of the late treas
er,James S. Campbell, we find that
his Office is short 0,256.7O, with a
credit, however, os 1926, leaving a
net shortage of $10,080.70.
"We find that during e. j. Bren-
mems term of .ffice as county
treasurer he collected under mis-
apprehension commissions on dis
pensary profits amounting to $788.43
that he had no warrant of law for,
his office being salaried one. Aside
from this and few unimportant
errors, we find the books during his
term in good shape" X

Alexander Dowie, who claims to
be a re-incarnation of the Prophet
Elijah and who has founded Zion
City, near Chicago with thousands
of followers and built up a fortune
that is estimated at $25,000,000, has
descended on New York, with some
four or five thousand of his disciples
and claims that he will reform the
city. Dowie, his wife and the
leaders of the strange army, went
into the city on train of palace
cars, and the four thousand privates
came along in day coaches. They
arrived last Saturday. That their
operations will be of great interest
goes without saying.

Peabody Fund In The souil..

William A. Courtenay, of Newry,
s. c., who has been one of the
Peabody education fund trustees for
nearly twenty years, is at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. He was Mayor of
Charleston from 1879 to 1887, and
was occupying that Office when the
earthquake brought disaster to the
city.
"Though am native of Charles
ton, as was my father before me, and
served in the Confederate army, /
would have it understood that the
people of no section Of this country
are more loyal to the Union than the
people of our State. Though it came
pretty hard at the time, we were
emancipated as much as the slaves
who received their freedom. The
whole South is now alive to the
advantages of education, and no
single agency has done more to
awaken the interest than the men
who have been identified with the
Peabody fund. One example will
indicate the fruits of the seed sowing
that has been done in the disburse-
ments of the fund. Only afew years
ago $4,000 was given as the foupda-
tion for the Winthrop Normal Col
lege, at Rock Hill, S. O., and the
institution now has property valued
at $250,000, has 500 students, and
the last Legislature appropriated
$57, 900 toward the maintenance of
the College. 1t is just suoh things
that the trustees of the fund are con-
stantly doing, and there is certainly
no. channel through which philan-
thropic men could accomplish more
than by contributing to the Peabody
fund. Every appeal for aid is thor
oughly investigated by the general
agent, and there is no dissipation of
the money in salaries. Some concep-
tion of the task presented in the
Southern States will be apparent
when it is remembered that while
Massachusetts has an average of 81
children to the square mile, we have
in the South II, and of these five are
white and six are colored. Of
course, we must keep them separated,
80 that means two schools to be
established and maintained" From
the New York Tribune.

The democratic filibuster in the sen ate has been productive of great good in that it has resulted in the death of the Aldrich financial bill. That bill was designed to give the national banks of the country additional advan- tages, and in fact to establish a nation al bank trust, but the action of the democrats has killed the measure for this congress. They contended that the ostensible object of the bill, which was to get the money now congested in the national treasury, out into the hands of the people, could be done in another and in much better way, and that was by reducing the tariff on many ar ticles and stop the flow of the money into the treasury. Tn other words, iTn stead of having the money go into the treasury and then sending it back to the people through the medium of the national banks, which would get a profit out of the people, they would re- duce taxation and keep the money in the hands of the people in the first i'm stance. This Aldrich bill, in connec- tion with the tariff, would have been a veritable coon trap. 1t would have caught the people coming and going. That, however, is the essence of repub- lican legislation.

WHALING IN THE ARCTIC.
The Skipper and His Gun and the Precautions in Preparing
 for a Shot.

The gun, a solid, cumbrous affair of about three-inch caliber, is swung around so that the muzzle points in board, and then the chamber is swabbed out by the skipper himself, who plainly regards every step of this pre- ]iminary work as of the greatest inn portance. The number of times that this man has missed his whale is so small that he takes pride in his rec ord; and, in addition to his reputation, there is the value of the whale, says a writer in Harper's. A good-sized whale means $1,20O or so to himself who, besides being skipper and har- pooner, is also owner of the ship and of the trying-out plant ashore. So, after inspecting the harpoon and wad- ding brought from below, he swabs out the gun a second time, and then takes a pound of quick-burning pow der, in little white cotton bag, and rams it home. A big fistful of rope ends is stuffed in after the pow der, and following the rope-ends a thick rubber disk; after that another batch of rope-ends.
 Then ensues most critical examina- ton of the bomb lance, heavy piece of cast iron, perhaps IS inches in length, sharp pointed forward, but enlarged toward the rear, where is enclosed grenade that is timed to explode a few seconds after it is shot into the whale and deal the mortal wound
