Flour Exchange Lift Takes a Trip
Without an Operator.

One Of the elevators in the Flour
Exchange went on a wild rampage
this morning. It was at the third
floor with the operator at the helm,
when it took notion to start for the
basement It carried out It's purpose
and quickly touched bottom. There
the operator and the one passenger
stepped out. Left to its own devices,
the elevator started skyward at a fly
machine pace. When it hit the
roof there was a crash, the cables
parted and the car started Tor the
basement again. It got about hall
way, and there the safety device got
busy and the car stopped. No one
was injured, but there was as much
excitement among the -four and grain
men as tho wheat prices had fallen
several stories. s.

ESCAPE SPRING MADNESS
Few Gases OF Insanity Reported from
Minnoaro1io

D.. A. Lindsey, agent Of the state
board Of control, reports that few
people in Minneapolis are going in
sane. Few demented patients have
been cared for this spring. Last fall
there was an epidemic Of insanity,
and this has led Mr.. Lindsey to con-
clude that insanity comes to its vic
tins in the spring and fall more often
than in summer and winter. Worry
over the approach Of winter is thought
by Mr.. Lindsey to cause those Of little
poise to lose their mental balance,
and the spring change of diet is
thought to be responsible for the in
sanity developing at that time Of the
year.

Great Soldiers.

The Baltimore Sun says: "Of
Hampton and Gordon and many other
Confederate generals who preceded
them to that bourne whence none
return it can be said in all truth that
they were without fear and without
reproach. They were the best pro-
ducts Of Southern civiliZation-of a
civilization which gave the country a
Washington and Jefferson, Their
fame will not perish with them. So
long as the South is loyal to its noblest
traditions it will cherish the memo
ries of tie knightly men who led the
armies Of the Confederacy and made
the term Southern soldier synony-
nous with valor that never faltered
and devotion that was unSwerying .
They were great soldiers who battled
for the rights of the South. Not only
the officers, but the private may be
included in this category. No people
ever fought better or endured hard
ship for righteous cause more cheer
fully than the rank and file of the
Confederate army. Like the gallant
officers who lead them, the privates
were injured with the noblest and
loftiest sentiments of patriotism that
ever inspired a people.

BLIND TIGERS SCARCE.
Governor Hayward Has About Bro
ken Them Up in Columbia.

Evidently visitors to Columbia feel
the same drought in the way Of secur-
ing strong drink that citizens expert
ence. Some one came down from
yorkville this week wanting glass
of beer and afterwards tolo his expe-
rience to a reporter Of the Yorkville
Enquirer:
You may say what you please
about the enforcement Of the dispen-
sary law; but I'll tell you as a fact
That Governor Hayward has the tigers
on the run in Columbia The speaker
was a Yorkville citizen who spent a
part of last week at the capital.
With friend, who though not a
resident knew more about the city
than T. the gentleman continued, we
made a search for glass Of beer.
The first place at which we inquired,
was restaurant where I had frequ-
emily bought beer. We don't keep
it, said the proprietor, and We re-
newed cur search. My friend led the
way to a place Of which be knew, and
there the proprietor directed US to go
through the back way and up flight
OF stairs. After we had mounted the
stairs about halt way to the second
story we came TO lattice work door
securely locked. 1t was opened by
negro. Then we followed along a
dark corridor winding about with con-
fusing turns until we came to another
locked door. There We raped re-
peatedly for fully minute, and final
ly the door was unlocked by white
man. We told the man what we
wanted and followed him through
some more winding corridors in which
there were no lights, coming out fin
ally into large room, the door OF
which was unlocked. The room was
flied with people engaged in games Of
all kinds, principally poker and the
like. 1t was regular gambling den.
We told our guide that we wanted
beer, and he turned US over to a negro
porter who declared that there was
but single bottle in the place ano
he would get it for US. He produced
the bottle and poured out glass fol
each. After we emptied the glasses
my friend put down dollar. The
2orter declined to take the money
lying that no beer was sold in the
place. We left by the same way We
had come in, and on reaching the out
side, my friend sought to pay the pro
prietor; but he also declared thai
there was no charge, so the bill waE
not settled. OF course, l you'd moi
pretend to say that there are not doz
ems and dozens of tigers in Columbia
for people who know the ropes. In
deed, it is probable that the people
who own the den where we got the
beer make a business Of selling whis
key and beer to people they know
but if my own experience is to bt
taken as any kind Of an index to The
situation. buying such refreshment:
on the sly is rather up bill business
for strangers.

holding that rank was the late John

He Should Resign.

P. D. Barron, who misrepresents
York County in the lower house OF
the legislature, seems to have rather
unique idea Of the rights, privileges,
and prerogatives of the representative
in the general assembly or this COM
mon wealth. He was taken up a few
days ago in Columbia for drunk and
disorderly conduct and carried to~the
station house by the police. Coming
up the next morning before the re-
corder'S court he was convicted and
fined. This was not only too great an
indignity to be perpetrated upon one
of the elect and set apart function
aries of the state; and not only this
but as Representative Barron saw it
it was positively against the law, and
be forthwith entered the plea that he,
being member Of the legislature was
not amenable to arrest and punish
ment. AS legislator it was his to
make laws, somebody else's to obey
them. Such representative is a re-
fcction on the people be misrepre-
sents, and they should forthwith re-
quest him to vacate.

a REMARKABLE ASCENT.
The Queer Thing an Elevator Did
to Robert Denning.

Robert Denning, who runs the pas
senger elevator in the fve-story busl-
ness building at 459 Broadway, had a
remarkable mishap Wednesday after
noon. Though he hung by the legs,
head downward, in the elevator shaft
for nearly an hour, he was extricated
practically unhurt.
The elevator runs in shaft which
is entirely enclosed from cellar to
roof. The entrance to the elevator on
the ground floor is through the east
wall of the Shaft, but on all the other
floors the entrance is through the
north wall.
The ground floor door opens out
ward. Attached to it on the inside
is a rope by means of which the opera
tor can pull it shut.
Denning was alone in the elevator
when he started it up from the ground
floor and tried to close the door. He
missed the rope and leaned forward
for second grab.
The top of the door frame hit him
on the shoulder and caused him to fall
forward and the floor Of the ascending
car caught his feet and held him
against the side Of the Shaft. The
space between the edge of the eleva-
tor floor and the side of the shaft was
so small that Denning's feet could not
slip out, but not small enough to crush
them.
In this manner, head downward and
fearing: every instant that he would
drop. Denning was carried up along
the smooth side of the shaft until the
elevator reached the top floor. There
it stopped automatically.
Denning's yells drew everybody in
the building to the elevator shaft.
Some one telephoned to police head
quarters for an ambulance. DR.. klea
man soon came from St. Vincent's
hospital, but owing to the boys situa
ton could not afford him any relief.
Then the police notified fire head
quarters and truck 20 was sent tx
the rescue The tiremen first placed
a ladder in the elevator shaft from
the fourth floor, resting its tol
against the south wall and held il
while DR.. kleaman assembled and gave
Denning stimulant.
Then fireman went up the ladde
and held Denning while another fire
man dug at the wall of the shaft ant
chopped the elevator floor until th'
imprisoned feet were released.
They laid Denning out on the fourth
floor and DR.. kleaman examined him
To the surprise of everyone. including
Denning himself, none of his bone
were broken and he was scarcely hurt
He was sent home in cab.-Nev

that Mr.. Sease had been unintention-

WAS TILLMAN DROPPED?
The election had proceeded as it
had started, and the trustees elected
were g. Duncan Rellinger, Jesse H.
Hardin and Ivy NJ Mauldin. Mr..
SeaSe was given two votes, although
not nominated.
The next elections were for the two
trustees Of the State Normal and In

When the two trustees for Winth-
rop were to be nominated there seem
ed to be no one who knew whose
terms expired 1t was known that
Mr.. D. w. McLaurin's term expired,
out who the other trustee was whose
term expired no one knew.
Senator Brice nominated DR.. T. y.
Crawford, who was formerly on the
board. There were no further nomi-
nations, and DR.. T. A Crawford and
D. w. McLaruin received the entire
vote.
After the nominations had closed
there was inquiry as to whose terms
we're being filed. No one seemed to
know. but the nearest that could be
learned was that the successor OF
Senator Tillman was being elected on
the board. No one seemed to know
definitely, but the adrices were that
Senator Tillman had been dropped
from the Winthrop board in the same
way taat Mr.. Sease had been left Of

and Crawford were therefore elected
without opposition. This ended the
elections and the joint assembly dis
solved.

THE BOIL WEEVIL.
DR.. Cleveland, Of Spartanburg, Dis
cusses the Destructive Insect.


The Spartanburg Journal says DR..
J. F. Cleveland and ]. B. Cleveland
returned from a trip to Texas week
or more ago where they went to in
vestigate the cotton status in that
state. DR.. Cleveland was talking to
reporter Wednesday concerning his
visit, and seemed highly pleased with
his stay in the ''Lone Star State" :"
and there they made stops in Hous-
ton While Dallas.
DR.. Cleveland spoke mainly con-
cerning the DOLL weevil and the terri
BILE destruction which it has wrought.
He says that at a conservative estl-
mate the crop is about half million
bales short. This is felt most heavily
in western Texas where the weevil got
in it's most destructive work. The
farmers all over the state, however,
are more or less annoyed by it and are
determined to suppress or destroy the
pest. The government has offered a
reward of $3.50, 900 for an adequate
solution to this vexatious problem.
DR.. Cleveland said that the only
remedy which it was thought would
prove practical was this: Through the
winter months the lands are to be
plowed and replowed. Then king
Cotton an early variety, is to be
planted in the spring, along the last
of March. This will be from two to
three weeks earlier than usual. 1t is
hoped by this thorough mixing of the
soil that the larvae of this insect will
be buried in the earth and incubation
will not result. The boil weeyil bores
it's way into the cotton boil and there
lays it's eggs. When the larvae is in
cubated it consumes the lint of the
cotton and then goes into the ground.
it is thought that by plowing them
into the earth these insects can be
destroyed before the time comes for
them to pierce the boil and procreate.
If this experiment fails the cotton
growers will be in quite dilemma.
There have been many solutions Of
fered, but none seem practical. This
problem has engaged the attention of
agricultural and scientific men all
over the country This years curtail-
ment in the cotton crop due to the
weeyil is serious indeed and if this
destructive insect is not entirely eX-
terminated or some impediment
placed to its growth, the results will
be so farreaching that it will be i'm
possible to determine them.
