and Clerk Tate Is anxious that every
body interested be Informed of the fact
that he will pay out no money except
where the parties entitled to 1t apply
in person or send a written order.

Some of the older cotton planters say
they have never seen more favorable
spring than this for the purposes Of
the crop. The days are warm and the
nights are warm, and except where a
crust mad formed before the rain the
seeds are coming up almost like magic.
There has been very little trouble so
far and unless dry weather should set
in within the next week everything
will be in fine shape.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

There was a shooting scrape be-
tween DR.. r. K. Smith and Mr.. T. M.
Brown at Chaplin yesterday morning.
The two men emptied their revolvers
at each other without effect. The un-
derstanding Is that the trouble had its
origin In Smiths attentions to Mrs.
Brown.
Columbia special of May l to
Charleston Post: The state board Of
control has disregarded the investi-
eating committees blacklist so far as
the Carolina Glass company is con-
cerned and awarded that concern q
glass contract for the quarter
amounting to fifty cars Of glass and
10000 demijohns. The Carolina
concerns bid was the lowest, $3.50
for quarts. $4.10 for pints and $2.7O for
half pints, and also lower than the
contract which the legislature can
celled. The board will likely ignore
the list in other respects soon II the
committee does not release some Of the
concerns. The committee meets
some time this month.
Columbia special of Tuesday to the
News and Courier: At the time of the
club meetings in Columbia there was
very little interest. At some of the
meetings there was the merest hand
full, and in most cases more delegates
were elected to the county conven-
ton than there were members Of
the club present at the meeting maxi
ing the selections. There has been
much comment and surprise since
the meetings have been held and the
list Of delegates have been announced
at the surprisingly large number of
delegates who are directly or indi-
rectly connected with the state dispen-
sary In the list of delegates are to
be seen employees Of the state dis
pensary who have been looked upon
as voters Of other counties. The real
significance Of so many dispensary
folks going to the county delegation
in this county. If there be any, Is
not fully appreciated, but it is being
freely commented upon.

Damaged by Windstorm.
Fort Mill, April 30: The Charlotte
Brick Co., sustained loss OF several
hundred dollars by a windstorm that
blew down the stacks at their drying
kilns at the plant near here a few days
ago. AS a consequence there will be q
few days congestion at this busy plant.
The large signboard that makes such
an extravagant show from the railroad,
was also blown down. The plant turns
out $4,000 brick per day and the pro-
duct Is sold weeks ahead. A promi-
nent citizen of New London, N. c.,
the Whitney company,
was here few days ago endeavoring
to place five million Of a thirty mil
lion brick order, bnt he could not be
accommodated. The foreign immi-
grants, consisting Of nine Germans and
four Russians, are applying themselves
industriously and so far are giving sat
isfaction. They are engaged in loading
cars, which, by the way, Is the most
serious problem connected with the
plant.

The Oakland Cal, Tribune Of last
Wednesday says: "Ar engineer states
that the area devastated by fire in San
Francisco approximates 10000 acres, or
about fifteen square miles. There are
few cities I'm the world where so much
valuable property is contained i'm an
equal territory. Within this fifteen
square miles were nearly 100 banks,
some of the finest buildings in the
world; thousands of mercantile and
manufacturing establishments, and
more than 1000 Inhabitants, besides
10000 transients. Notwithstanding the
enormous and widespread destruction,
the homes of 100000 people are still
standing and practically uninjured.
There still remain the great ship yards
at the Protrero, the Pacific Mail docks

friends Of the people of TINS city,
is with the Gentry Brothers shows
again this year. Probably no part
of the show as it has been in past
years, has made quite so much of

as that Snyder family.
There was Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder
and the Snyder baby-not real
folks, but CARRIED like human be-
ings and with degree Of intelli-
gence that seemed more human
than canine. The former patrons
of these famous shows remem Der
well how Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder EN-.
tered the arena, with Baby Sny-
der III a baby cab, pushed by the
head of the family; they remem-
Der how the baby was admired by
the ringmaster and public, while
the elder Snyders sat in small
chairs and looked gravely on, and
they remember how Mr.. Snyder
asked that his coat be taken off
so that he might have more free
dom in dancing, and how the in
FAINT was supplied with nourish-
ment from bottle. Several new
things have been added to this
feature this year and it is now
practically brand new.

NEWS FROM The MINES and MILLS
Gunnison Sulphur Mine.

A deal has just been closed in this
city, says the Colorado Springs cor
respondent of the Denver Republican,
winch VIII inaugurate a new and i'm
portant industry in Colorado, the min
ing of sulphur. r. p. Russell, the we'll
known Cripple Creek lessee and oper-
| ator, to-day signed a contract with
John A. Himebaugh of Colorado
Springs, for a three years lease upon
the Vulcan mine in Gunnison county.
Russell has the contract to mine sui
phur. the metal deposits in the prop
erty to remain intact. The lessee will
erect 100000 surphur refinery near
the mine, and at once begin the ex-
| traction of the commodity.
The property Is located twelve miles
south Of lola, on the Rio Grande rail-
road Desultory attempts have been
made before to mine sulphur. but with
out success, owing to the lack of a
western market, and because of the
expensive refining methods then In
vogue.
Russell will turn over the output to
the Dupont Powder Company of Den
yer, which will construct a $1,000, 900
powder factory at Sedalia, as already
announced. Pure sulphur sells at ap.
proximately $40 ton, and the grade
will bring approximately $32 ton.
Sulphur is mined in Utah. Alabama.
and one or two other states in the
Union, but is practically novelty in
the West. At Utah an inconsiderable
amount has been produced. Sheep dip
ping and powder manufacturing afford
the principal sources of market. The
Standard Oil Company controls the
southern sulphur refneries, but no in
reference is expected in the western
market.
