POISONED WATERMELON
Kills Ike Dickson, q Negro, Near
Columbia.

Columbia.
Ike Dickson, a negro who has lived
from hand to mouth" for number
of years, and has been giving the
country people lot of trouble bet1 cen
Columbia and Gadsden by pilfering
and stealing from the fields, died
Thursday il Columbia as result of
partaking of forbidden fruit. Ike is
only 20 years old, but beyond fishing
in desultory fashion for living he
has never worked, it is said, and has
been ordered off a dozen farms en- &C
account Of his habits as a vagabond
and his nightly pilferings OF the crops,
gardens and fowl houses. Several
farmers have threatened to shoot Ike
if he ever returned to their farms.
1t was reported Thursday night
that Ike's career had ended, that
several nights ago he had stolen
watermelon from patch near Sims
station, and that the melon was loaded
to the rind with deadly poison for
Ike'S benefit or for others Of his ilk.
Poor, trusting, con6ding Ike carried
the enticing and bewitching object Of
his natural and hearty appetite to his
den and there did voraciously satisfy
his yearning for watermillion.
Shortly afterwards Ike was given
rude physical start and then he knew
he had done it once too often, but he
was Stoical and kept his muof shet
and Sed nuthin. >" After while the
agony was too much for easygoing Ike,
and be went to a physician and
''fessed up" lie was brought to Co.
lumbia and there he died.

We VIII Cling to Thee.

When spring unlocks the flowers TO
paint the laughing soil,
When summers balmy showers refresn
the mowers toll;
When winter binds in frosty chains
the falloW and the hood,
In God the earth rejoiceth still and
owns his Maker good.
Shall man, the lord of nature, expect
ant Of the sky
Shall man, alone unthankful, his little
praise deny?
No, let the year forsake his course, the
seasons cease to be,
Thee, Father, must we always love
Creator! honor thee.
The birds that wake the morning, and
those that love the shades;
The winds that sweep the mountain,
or lull the drowsy glade:
The sun that from his amber-boWer
reJoiceth on his way,
The moon and stars their Makers
name in silent pomp display.
The flowers Of spring may wither, the
hope of summer fade;
The autumn droop in winter, the bird
forsake the shade;
The winds be lulled-the sun and moon
forget their old decree;
But we in natures latest hour, 0 LORD,
will cling to thee -HEBER.

More WhiskeY Sold.

Chief Constable Hammett in bis
quarterly report last Thursday says:
BY reference to the previous report
you will find that there IS a consider.
allie decrease in the value Of the seiz-
ures made and a very heavy increase
in the sales OF the dispensaries
throughout the state. This, think,
is attributed to the better enforce
ment OF the law. Certainly, th:re is
not as much liquor being brought into
the state as formerly. Quite num-
Der OF persons who have been engaged
in retailing liquor have gone out OF
the business and you will note that -
Illicit stills have been closed up. The
attention of the beard OF directors has
been called to a number OF cases in
which parties, who have been granted
a permit to distill, have violated the
law, and favorable action by them is
anticipated. l am pleased to report
that matters in this department are
progressing very satisfactorily and l
am receiving assistance and encour-
agement from citizens all over the
state.

Fruits of the Work.

The Columbia State says: The
fruits of the work of the department.
OF agriculture, commerce and i'm
migration are daily made evident.
Tuesday Mr.. B. H. Crandall and
family of Rhode Island arrived in the
city, having come from New York
city via the Clyde line and Charleston.
Mr.. Crandall had been South short
while ago and or his return wrote a
very complimentary article describing
the resources Of South Carolina, which
was reprinted in the newspapers OF
Providence. He has now brought his
family to this State and has purchas
ed farm Of 200 acres to engage IN
truck farming. Several OF bis friends
and neighbCrs have become so interest
ed in his move that they have deter
mined to come to the South. One
will arrive within the next month
and will open city market at some
point in the State.

lifting the campaign on high plane,
appealing TO the independent vote or

overcome the odds against them at
the start. That the campaign will
be pushed along lines resembling
those Of 1892 there is considerable
evidence. The same class Of people

RAILWAYS IN UNITED STATES.
Total Mileage Of Our Immense Rail-
way Systems.

The total single track railway mile
age in the United States on June 80,
1903, was O7,977.22 miles, having in.
creased 5,505.37 miles in the year
ending on that date. This increase
exceeds that Of any previous year since
1890. The 10 States and territories
for which an increase in mileage ex
ceeding 100 miles is shown are Arkan.
sas, California, Georgia, Illinois.
Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-.
sissippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas,
Washington, West Virginia, Wiscon.
sin, Indian Territory, New Mexico
and Oklahoma. Most of the railway
mileage of the country, excepting that
Of street linss, is coVered by reports
rendered to the commission by the
carriers.
For the year under consideration
operated mileage concerning which
substantially complete returns were
made was 205, 313. 81 miles including
1902 81 miles Of line on which track,
age privileges we're exerci ed. The
aggregate length Of railway mileage,
including tracks Of all kinds, was
2s3 S2l.52 miles, being classified as
follows: Single track, 205, ,3l3. 81
miles; second track, Il, 6S1.03 miles;
third track, 1,303.53 miles; fourth
track, e63.36 miles, and yard track
and si1ings, 81 $50 OF miles. Thus
it appears that there was an increase
Of e,626.l6 miles In the aggregate
length of all tracks, Of which 1880. l3
miles, or 81 SO Per cent, were due to
the extension OF yard track and sid
ings.
The number Of railway corporations
included in the report was 2, 078. OF
this number l,036 maintained operat-
ing accounts, S05 being classed as IN
dependent operating roads and 23en-
subsidiary roads. OF roads operated
under lease or some other form Of con-
tract, 316 received a fixed money rem
tai, l5G a contingent money rental,
and 275 were operated under condi-
tions not readily Classified. In the
course Of the year railway companies
owning II .074 10 miles Of line were
reorganized, merged, consolidated,
etc. For the year 1902 the correspod-
ing item was 7,365.99 miles.
The length OF mileage operated by
receivers on June 80, 1903, was 1885,
IS miles, showing decrease OF $780,
81 miles as compared with the previ-
Gus year. The number OF roads in
the hands OF receivers was the same
as at the close of the previous year,
nire roads having been taken from
the hands CT receivers and like num-
ber having been placed in charge Of

The COLUMBIA HOSPITAL.
Additions to Be Made Which Will
Greatly Increase 1t Facilities.

For some time those in charge O.
the Columbia Hospital have contem
plated an addition to the present struc
ture. which is inadequate to the de
mand almost daily made upon it
After consultation 1T has been decides
to make an addition which will In
crease the facility for accommodation
fifty per cent. Also an operating build
ing will be erected. The plans were
inspected and Shand and LaFaye were
chosen as the architects.
The present main building now used
for private patients will be the nurses
quarters. This building is very com
Portable and is fitted with hot water
heating apparatus, electricity and sim
liar conveniences. The two wards,
wooden structures, which ran south
from the main building and are con.
nected by corridors, will be moved tc
the west of the block on which the
hospital is located, in the expectation
that in the future they will be replac-
ed by more modern buildings OF brick.
The plans now decided upon are al
most ready for the contractors to bid
upon and it is hoped that advertise.
ment for these bids will be made in
about three weeks.
Connected with the main building
(which as said will be used for the
nurses home) by stone corridor,
running to the east, will be the oper-
ating building. This building, which
will have the same frontage as the
present main building on Pain street,
will be IS by 80 feet in size and in ad-
dition to large operating room will
have an anaesthetizing room, a steri-
lzing room, a stock room, surgeons
room, etc.
Another corridor will connect the
operating building with the new wards
to be erected, and which will be located
with frontage Of 81 feet on Plain
street and l24 feet On the Harden
street side Of the hospital. On either
si5e of the entrance will be an office
and reception room. Running south
corridor extends the length Of this
building with room on either side.
There will be twenty-five rooms, each
OF which will be provided with a full
length window to the floor. These win
dows may be opened and patients re
moved to the terraces just ouside OF
the rooms will be connected with pri-
vate baths.
At the rear of this building will be
semi circular solarium or sun parlOr
constructed almost entirely Of glass
and for the use Of convaleScentS in the
winter months
The cost of the operating building
will be about 81, 900 to s., 600. The
plans were furnished by G. C. Wilson,
architect, and the contract has been
let to Geo. W. Waring. Ground for
this building will be broken in a few
weeks. Its beginning has been de-
layed by the fact that the location OF
the other new structure had not been
definitely decided upon This latter
building will cost about sl5, 900 and
as already said is hoped to let the con-
tract in about three weeks. It is
probable that the additions will be
completed and ready for occupancy by
January first Of 1905.
The Columbia Hospital is an institu-
tion which has struggled through
many viccissitudes yet is daily more
appreciated The testimony Of its pa
tientS is it's best advertisement.

RETURNING HOME

In short, Mr. Hudgens had been to
Eureka and was returning when he
met a neiehbor, a Mr.. Morris, who

turned to run he shot him in the back
