School House Burned and the
Well Filled With Rocks.

Laurens, Aug. 27.-A few
nights ago the Oak Grove school
house, located five miles east of
the city, was totally destroyed by
fire. The building was a very
goodone and had recently been
furnished with new desks and other
furniture. The loss was com,:lete
as there was no insurance. At the
time of the burning tho origin of
the fire was attributed to the care
iessness of some smoker among
the members of the local camp of
Woodman of the World, who used
the school house for lodge room,
and who had held a meeting there
only q few hours before the fire
was discovered. On the following
night, however, some scoundrel
filed the school house we'll full of
rock, q circumstance which at once
led to the conclusion that the same
party or parties had applied the
torch to the school building. In
connection with the well incident
it is stated that this is the third
outrage of this kind at Oak Grove,
two other wells having been
checked full of stone and wood
only few years ago.

Roosevelt Goes Down In Subma.
rlne Boat.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 25.
President Roosevelt late this after
noon made descent in Lcng Is-
land sound on board the subma-
rine torpedo boat Plunger. He
was aboard tho vessel about three
hours. At one time the little
boat was submerged for SO mln.
utes and in that time was put
through all of the submarine feats
of which she is capable. The pres
ident expressed delight at the
novel experience and said that he
was immensely impressed with the
boat and with the manner in which
she was handled. In thus Drawing
the dangers of submarine manoeu-
vering, the president has endeared
himself to naval officers and men
the world over, and made Lieut..
Chas. H. Nelson, commander of
the Plunger, the proudest and
happiest man in the United States
navy.

You Must
Sleep.

If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congestcd state of
the brain, which will soon de-
velope into nervous prostration.c
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
1t is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-
cry nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give strength
and vitality as surely and
quickly as DR.. Miles Nervine.

that the whlskey houses are de-

Turn on The Light,
The State.

committee is bringing out matter
that the public has right to know
and from all indications there is
plenty yet to be produced. The
whole management of the system,
from the central dispensary to the
smallest retail grog shop, is leglti
mate subject for this inquiry and
the committee will do less than it's
duty if ii fails to lay the whole
thing bare. Only time is likely
to be u hindrance.
Mr.. CASTOR stated yesterday
that it was evident that "Ihe
whiskey houses are debauching the
State, not only the State but the
highest officials connected with the
dispensnry." When this fact is
SO evident as to bc asserted on the
floor of the committee room by
mem Der, conservative man who
has been politically a supporter of
the dlspensary, it Is no time to be
calling halt on the work eff that
committee. The probe must 20
in deep. If any honorable man is
slandered in progress of this in
vestlgation his remedy is plain.
But no honorable mans reputation
can he hurt; if falsehood are sworn
to concerning him and his acts the
proof that they are falsehood can
be produced and the result will be
more damaging to the falsifier than
to the honorable man.
The fact that certain reputable
gentlemen have been mentioned |
in the course of the inquiry shows
how very difficult il has become
for any man to enter public life IN
South Carolina at this time with
out being mixed up, either in fact
or in hearsaY, with the great State
monopoly in whiskey. The fact
that these same men are SO quick
to resent the lntimations that they
have betn connected with the in.
stitution, or with the wrongful
practices in the institution, is am
pie demonstration that the system
is nothing to be proud of. The
State cannot engage in the sale of |
whiskey, sale in which high of.
ficials are by the law compelled to |
have part, without bringing
these same officials into unpleasant
connections. This fact is not one
OF the least of the evils of the |
system, and just now when the
effort is being strenuously made
to connect the very highest State
officials with the sYstem even more |
intimately 1t is we'll enough that
the fact should be impressed upon
the public mind.
One of the former purchasing
officials Of the dispensary has tes.
titled that one house alone offered
to increase his income by the not
despicable sum of $50, 900 per
year. Another former purchasing
official has testified that during the
two terms he ssrEsd on the board
not one offer of this sort was made
to him by any whiskey house, and
that when seemin yly indirect ef-
fort to Influence HE friendship
was made he properly resented it.
This leads to the suggestion that
there may have been different sorts
OF men connected with the dispen.
sary in the twelve years of it's OK.
istence, fact which the whiskev
houses, represented by shrewd
men, would not be slow to discov-
or, and the right sort of men will
not object to publicity.

Few Figures on Senatorial Race.

Will Senator Blackburn be re-elect-
ed? His friends are confident that he
will and base their belief upon an
alysis of the vote in the Democratic
caucus as they believe it will be cast.
According to their count there will be,
or should be, 105 votes in the caucus.
Of these it is claimed that 43 are
pledged to Senator Blackburn, viz
of Representatives, 81; Senators elect,
Z; hold-over Senators, 5.
From the best information that can
be gathered Judge Paynter claims 80
pledged votes, of Representatives, %
of Senators-elect, 5; of hOld-over Sen
ators, 4.
Mr.. Haldeman claims the united
vote of the Senators and Representa-
tives from Louisville, which includes
Representatives, Z; Senators-elect,2 2;
hold-over Senators, 1 making 10 in
all.
The doubtful members are Repre-
sentatives, 13; Senators-elect, 4; hold
over Senators, 3; making a total
of 20.
OF total of 1O5 in caucus it will re-
Quire So to make nomination. The
friends of Mr.. Blackburn claim that of
the doubtful ones he will get II and
possibly IA, which would give him the
nomination with votes to spare. 1t
is quite likely that he will lead on
the first ballot. The combinations
that may be made the reader can
figure for himself.
