HORRIBLE
SITUATION.
West PIKE Street and pavements
Are In. AwfuIIy Muddy.
City Authorities Should Go To The
Rescue AT once.

Several of the prominent citizens
and taxpayers, residing in the West
End are complaining bitterly about
the horrible condition Of the street
and pavements IN that section. They
have just cause to complain. 1t is
simply terrible out there, in fact be-
yond description. The street is
higher than the payements and as a
consequence they are covered with
mud and it is simply impossible TO get
along without getting in mud almost
ankle deep. There are no crossings out
there which are fit for service. The
situation is such that much inconven-
fence is experienced and life is simply
miserable to those who are compelled
to use the streets and pavements. The
authorities should attend to the mat
ter at once. The pavements should
be cleaned and crossings should be put
down.

Dug Up 100000 Worth OF Cotton.

Spartanburg, July 1S.-Sixty thousand
dollars was accidentally discovered at
Pacolet buried in the sand along the
banks of the Pacolet river recently, but
1t was cotton and not gold that cOnsti-
tuted this valuable treasure, says the
journal. A party was prospecting on
the scene of the recent flood disaster
along the river banks not far from the
site of the warehouse at Pac olet when a
small bit of white cotton was noticed
sticking out of the sand Investigation
followed at once and the white bit of
cotton turned out to be part of bale
which in turn was one of lot of nearly
one thousand bales OF cotton which were
lying buried beneath the sands all un-
known to the worl.men who had hundreds
of times passed over this veritable mine
of wealth in buried cotton. The single
bale was quickly excavated from the
sands and all about 1t, buried some feet
under the surface in the sand, was seen
cotton bale after cotton bale lying we'll
protected and almost nninjured under
tho weight of sand. The scene was
wUrkmen were called upon to aid in
getting out the buried cotton. When
every bale was dug out and an inventory
taken it was found that nearly one thou
sand bales of cotton, valued in round
numbers at about 100000 had been
rescued. The incident is one of many of
this kind sh owing the strange freaks
which the storm and flood played, con-
cealing goods and cotton in many in
stances in such manner that they are
found with difficulty. The discovery of
the cotton was source of great gratifica-
tiOn to the mill people.

CLAY, or KENTUCKY, DEAD.
A Prominent Figure In National Politics for
Years NIneiy.Three Years Old.

Lexington, KY, July %. General
Cassius Marcellus Clay, ambassador
TO Russia under President Lincoln,
noted a5olitionist and author, died at
his home, Whitehall, in Madison
county, at %9.1O O'Clock tonight.
Death was due to general exhaustion.
General Clay was born October
/ 10, 1910, in Madison county. He
led stirring life, which began tc tell
on him in late years. He believed a
conspiracy to assassinate him had
been formed and some years ago for
tilted Ills home, Whitehall, and en-
tered life of seclusion that ended
only few weeks ago, when the
courts appointed committee to
take charge of him and his effects.
He was found desperately i'll and
has had every care since. The sur
viving children are Brutus J. Clay,
prominent in national politics, of
Richmond; Miss Laura Clay, noted
as an exponent of woman's suffrage,
Lexington; Mrs. Dabney Crenshaw,
Richmond, Va; Mrs. Mary Barr
Clay and Mrs. James Bennett, of
Richmond, Ky.
His children were all at his bedside.
Some of them have not been in their
fathers house or seen him in years
because of his peculiar hallucination
that they were in a vendetta sworn
to kill him.
Clay was one of the most pic
turesque figures in American politics
in the sixties. His home at White
hall has been guarded by armed
men. A loaded cannon sits in his
hallway and his room is a veritable
arsenal, gathered for the purpose of
repelling an attack of an imaginary
vendetta.
Genearl Clay fought several duels
when he was in active politics and
his abolition sentiments drew him
into several bloody fights in Ken
lucky.
Several years ago Clay created a
great sensation by marrying a 16-
year old country girl. The girl was
very ignorant, but Clay said he
would educate her. Life with the
venerable general, however, palled on
Dora and she fell in love with a
young fellow named Brock. When
Clay was informed he allowed Dora
to get divorce and fixed a sum of
money on her when she married
Brock. Some time ago Brock was
killed in railroad accident and
since then Clay has been importun-
ing her to return.

Church Takes Strong Stand.

Wilmington, July 21.-The First
Baptist church of this city gave the
Sunday morning congregation a SEN
sation by the reading of resolutions
adopted by the board of deacons
condemning the selling of whiskey.
This church has taken the initiative
in the fight for temperance and
others will follow, it is said.
The resolution referred to states
that certain members of the church
have signed their names to applica-
tions for license to sell whiskey in
WILMINGTON, and that hereafter any
member whose name shall appear on
such an application will be expelled
from the church.
The decided stand taken by the
church in adopting these resolutions
is the subject of vital interest in this

We tried to stop several artillerymen
80 as to inquire of them whether
this was retreat, who had ordered
it, etc., but mono of them would re-
main long enough to give reply.
Presently the road became so choked
with flying cannoneers and cavalry
men, buggies and civilians on horse
back that we were in danger OF be-
ing overturned. Horsemen were
humping into us and could see men
throwing away guns and knapsacks.
My companion had his buggy
whip out ready to whip up
his horse into gallop, when
someone in the rear yelled: "Run
for your lives; the enemy's cavalry
are upon us." "That settles it,"
muttered my companion between bis
teeth and the way our horse got up
and fairly busted, under the stimulus
of my companions whip, was sight.
We passed everything on the road
and landed in Washington safe and
sound, although our poor animal
was nearly winded.
"The next two days were days of
sorrow, fear and trembling for the
people of this city. Everyone ex-
pected the Confederates to advance
upon, storm and take The city i'm
mediately and it was then, for the
first time, that we began to realize
that the war was far more serious
proposition, as the boys say nova
days, than we had at first imagined.
When days passed and they did
nothing of the sort, and the Federal
troops began to retrieve their losses
we were indeed happy and thankful.
1t was this thankfulness over our
unexpected good fortune and deliy-
erance that has led Washington peo-
pie to remember the day with feel
ings akin to thanksgiving for our
streak of luck in not falling into the
hands of the rebels"

ing before Judge Gary it was ordered

The South's Advantages in Sheep Raisina.

j. B. Killebrew, writing in recent
issue of the Southern Farm Maya.
zine, Baltimore, says:
1t is doubtful if any part of Aus
tralia or of the Spanish peninsula
offers any greater advantages for
sheep husbandry than the Southern
States. Whether we consider the
soil or the climate, the grasses or
the forage plants, the rolling sur
faces or the supplies of water and
shade, the Southern States must be
regarded as an ideal place for the
prosecution of this industry. That
scope of country embraced between
the Allegheny mountains on the
east and the Mississippi river on the
west and lying south of the Ohio
river, including the States of Ken.
lucky and Tennessee, the Northern
parts of Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, and to which may be added
the Piedmont regions of Virginia,
North and South Carolina east of
the mountains, present features that
flockmasters recognize as being i'm.
portant for the successful growth of
their industry. In this region the
cold is not 80 severe during the win
ter as TO make the feeding of sheep
a source of great concern, nor is the
heat of summer so intense as to
work a degeneracy, after few gene
rations, in the character of the
fieeces. We hope to see the day
when our people will undertake the
raising of sheep as business. One
thing is sure-wben sheep come,
the worthless dogs will have tn oo
