Growth of the Rural Service.

The growth Of rural free delivery
service in the United States has been
rapid and the total amount now paid
annually is enormous. Previous to
1902 these carriers we're paid by war
rant OF check direct from the first as
sistant postmaster generals office at
Washington, but the growth became
50 extensive it was decided that the
postmaster at the capital Of each
State should pay the carriers in his
State. In 1902 when Postmaster En-
sor was made paymaster for South
Carolina, there were ia rural free
delivery carriers in South Carolina,
and the amount Of their salaries was
s60,4OO. At the close OF the fiscal
year, June 30, 1908, there were 333
carriers, receiving the sum OF $780,
9I2, over three times the amount paid
out at the close of the fiscal year OF
1902. In 1902 the carriers received
on an average Of $500 per annun; in
1903 about $500 per annuu; for the
present year there has been practically
a slOO raise, according to the length
of the route, most OF the carriers get
ting S720 per annuuo.

His Sight Restored.

a special to the State from Able
vile says Mr.. Norman S. Cason, an
industrious and prosperous farmer Of
that county who has been almost
totally blind since childhood, met
with peculiar and happy accident
while in town Thursday. Mr.. Cason
was sitting in the store Of Messrs. P.
Rosenberg s. Co., and in attempting
to put on his hat the brim struck him
in tie eye. For a moment he was
rendered totally blind but soon after
wards his sight came to him and he
was able to distinguish friends and
objects never before seen by him. He
said he could see the obstruction to
his vision gradually passing away af-
ter the total blindness came on. The
good fortune of Mr. Cason has resulted
in his confusion to small degree.
he did not know the appearance Of
bis brothers and friends and did not
recognize them after he had regained
his sight until they spoke to him.
Mr.. Cason'S sight improved rapidly
during the afternoon and until ne left
town for his home. Heretofore he
had consulted eminent specialists
about his condition butnone gave him
any relief OF hope. His friends are
now congratulating him on his good
fortune.

Driving Out Anaemia.

Wonders are being worked in Porto
Rico by Capt. B. z. Ashford, assist
ant surgeon, United States Army,
who is treating anaemia, which Is
threatening the development OF Porto
Rico. Hundreds OF persons suffering
with the malady and believed by na-.
tive physicians to be incurable have
been cured by the American doctor,
who is assisted by DR.. King, OF the.
Marine Hospital Service. Reports
from Porto Rico state that In the dis
trict OF Dayamm alone the doctors
treated 93l cases in six weeks and lost
but one case. They are now In Utu--
ava, where the same remarkable re-
suits are being reported. In Dayanm
they reduced the death rate 20 per
cent. in the six weeks they worked
there among the $4,000 persons sub
ject TO the pernieious anaemia, which
travellers have said will prevent Porto
Rico from enjoying the prosperity tt
might have with healthier and more
industrious population.
The two American doctors DO not
attribute the disease to starvation
and undertaking, as the native doc
tors do, and have submitted their pa
tients to an entirely different sort OF
treatment. The results have been as
founding and have given tie natives
new hope. Inyalids are brought to
The healels in hammocks and on cots
and are afforded almost instant relief.

MRS. NYE LOSES ALL.
Entrusted Der Estate to Maj. W. NJ.
Breesc.

a special from Charlotte, n. c..
says: When the United States dis
trict court convened Friday morning
for a continuation Of the trial Of VIM.
Breese for embezzlement, the district
attorney asked and was granted per-
mission to introduce Mrs. E. ". Nye,
wife Of the late humorist, who resides
at Arden. n. c., and who desired to
return to her home.
Mrs. Nye told Of entrusting her
property and all the money she pos
sessed, $500, to the keeping of
Breese and said she lost it all. After
the death OF her husband, she desired
to take her children on trip to
Europe, and before leaving AsheVille,
she gave Breese her papers and docu.
men5s and instructed him to invest
her money. He had been good
friend of her dead husband and she
felt that she could trust him implicit
ly. Mrs. Nye also said she owned
property in New York which was left
in charge OF Breese and lost this also.
Breese testified that while it was
true that be had charge Of Mrs. Nye's
papers, be did not understand that he
was authorized to act as her agent in
disposing of her property. He collect
ed the interest Oh her money when
due and passed it to her credit. When
the bank failed be turned the papers
over to his son, W. E. Breese, Jr., an
attorney, and wrote Mrs. Nye to this
effect. Upon her return from Europe,
the defendant visited her at Buck
Shoal, her country home, and explain
ed all the details of the failure. Upon
the objection OF the district attorney
he was not permitted to relate the
conversation.
The witness denied that he drew
Mrs. Ney'S money out Of the bank,
saying he could not have done 50 for
the reason that be had not authority to
sign name to check. He also denied
all knowledge Of the loss Of Mrs.
Nye's property in New York. This
property, be said, was purchased by
Mr. Nye before his death, and was
covered by a mortgage.
Breese then went on to explain In
detail different notes and said he
knew nothing Of the charges Of forg-
cry.
Mai. Breeze admitted that be had
signed the name of W. W. Rollins to
two notes for 81 900 each, On April E.,
1897. These were the notes Maj.
Rollins had declared to be forgeries
when he was on the witness stand last
week. Ire witness said his relations
with Rollirs were cordial and ioti-
mate. When he affixed Maj. Rollins
signature to the notss, it was for the
purpose Of taking up two other notes
which had been rediscounted. Maj.
Rollins was out of town at the time
and upon his return ratified the action
by singing and giving Maj. Breese a
blank note.

Fire in Aiken.

Fire accidentally started in the
pine forests in Eustis Park, near the
hotel Park in the Pines, about II
O'Clock Wednesday. Owing to the
drought, the trees and shrubbery burn
ed like tinder for several hours and
several acres of the Park are badly
damaged. The burned area is in the
northwestern edge Of the city and Is
beyond the reach OF the fire hydrants.
The city street hands were set to work
with brushes and they succeeded in
confning the fire to the woods. No
residence property was injured. 1t is
thought that the fire was started oy a
combination OF crap shooters and ci-
paretteS.

de Roques was unremitting in her
efforts in behalf Ct the prisoner. She
succeeded in having the death sontence
committed to penal servitude for life
and finally has obtained the freedom
OF her daughter to whose release from
prison she had devoted her life. The
baroness was aided by Influential,
friends on both sides Of the Atlantic.
In 1900, after the death Of Lord Rus
sell OF Kil'owen, chief Of justice OF
England, a letter which he bad writ
ten to Mrs. Maybrick in 1895 was dis
covered. 1t showed be was convinced
that she ought never to have been
convicted, and it has been generally
understood that all the recent Ameri-
can ambassadors to the court OF St.
James have dore everything possible
10 obtain Mrs. Maybrick's pardon.
The fact Of her probable release was
used as a reasrn for securing the post
ponement of trial last year Of law
suits bearing on Mrs. Maybrick's in
tereSt in land in Kentucky, Virginia
and W Virginia until she was able per-
sonally to testify in these suits. Mrs.
Maybr and her mother would have
lost all title and interest in the many
thousands of acres Of land involved in
the case.
On February 4th last Home Secre-
tary Akers-Douglas, replying to a
question in the house Of commons
confirmed the reports which had been
in circulation that Mrs. Maybrick had
been removed from Aylesbury prison
to convalescent home, where she
would remain until the summer, when
she would be allowed her freedom.
The home secretary said license had
been granted to Mrs. Maybrick under
the penal servitude acts.
The transfer Of the prisoner from a
penal prison to quiet country home
constituted an almost unprecedented
action on the part Of the British au-
thourities. It was due to the media
tion of the Duchess Of bedford, who,
as a visitor to Aylesbury prison for
many years, had taken keen person
al interest in Mrs. Maybrick, and
finally succeeded in obtaining the nit
igation OF her punishment to the ex-
tent of her being allowed to spend the
last six months Of her c0n6nement
outside the prison wells.

PRAISES TILLMAN.
Cleveland Commends Parker's Noble
Course in Stating His Views.

A special to The State from New
York Wednesday says: Steady
Democrats, Steady" is the title OF al
article by Grover Cleveland which
will be printed in Golfers for July
23rd. In it Mr.. Cleveland lauds the
action Of Judge Parker in sending his
gold telegram" to the St. Louis con,
vention, and expresses his satisfaction
with the platform and the outlook il
part as follows:
No action Of DemOcracy's repre-.
sentati"es assem- blcd in the late con-
vention can be construed in any other
way than as an acknowledgment OF
the gold standard, and willing
pledge to it's maintenance. This con.
dition should of itself be sufficient to
so fill our m?asure Of satisfaction as
to cause Us to forget any fears OF
trepidation that may have vexed US
during the days just past.
Herein is found an abundantly
sufficient cause for gratitude and con-
graduation on the part Of all those
who love true Democracy. I want tc
80 further than this and to express a
reverent belief that certain conven-
tion utterances apparently untoWard
have worked together for Democracy US
good and that happy outcome has
been reached through leading wiser
and more certain than the wit Of man
could have devised.
Senator Tillman and l have occa-
sionally differed; but I hope he will
take no offense il I applaud and give
hearty concurrence to his expression
Of the belief that Providence has
taken kindly hold OF our affairs" :"
After quoting Judge Parker's mes
sage to the St. Louis convention, Mr..
Mr.. Cleveland said:
Those Democrats who have been
impatient of the silence of their
party's candidate ought to be satisfied
with the effectiveness of his first ut
terance. 1t filed the blank in dis
abled platform, it gave leadership to
the Democratic cause and rallied sup
porters by thousands and tens Of thou
sands to the Democratic standard.
II believe that no man ever did so
much for the cause and in so many
directions, in 50 short time and in
so compact form as was done by our
candidate when he sent his message
to the St. Louis convention. He has
reminded all who profess Democratic
principles that they also have work to
do if they like him, would do the
patriotic political duty the time de-
mands.n -
