underground wireless telegraph
system invented by Father Joseph
Murgas of this city was pronoup-
ced success today by Frederick
Muckley, who has been associated
with the inventor for some time.
Experiments buve been going ou
between this city and Scranton, q
distance of eighteen miles, for six
months or more, and several diff
cultios which delayed them have
been overcome. During the last
several days they have reached
such a point that, according to Mr..
Muckley. the underground wire
less system is now an assured sue
cess.
Waterproof shafts, 200 feet deep
were sunk in this city and Scran-
ton, aud over wires run to the bot
tom of each were sent and receiv-
ed, by the aid of the Instruments
invented by Father Murgas, mes
sages between the two cities.
These shafts, it is stated, are
deep enough for sending messages
a thousand miles. 1t is now pro-
posed, rs soon as some details are
completed, to conduct experiments
between New York and London.

Condemned 30 Death

St. Petersburg, May 21.-It is rum
orcd that the military court which has
been Investigating the surrender Of
Port Arthur and the battle of the Sea Of
Japan, has condemned to death Lieu
tenant General Stoessel, who COM
manded the Russian forces at Port
Arthur, and Rear Admiral Nebogatoff,
who commanded one of Admiral Ro-
jestvensky's squadrons, and who sur
rendered during the naval battle to
the Japanese.
Unjust! Unjust! Will Russia con-
demn those two brave men, who
fought as best they could, with re-
bellious troops, and against loyal
army of Japs? Because they surrend-
cred Port Arthur, these two comman-
ders have been condemned to death
by the Russian military tribunal. To
hold Port Arthur was impossible from
every point of view, and if these Of
ficers are executed, Russia will add
another to the already long and black
list of her national crimes.

infested region, the resultant loss be-
ing in the neighborhood of S35, 200

unfortunate development was due to
weather conditions favorable to the
pest and to an unusual scarcity of its
parasite enemy. The parasite, which
formed inside the body of the fly, has
been secured in large numbers by the
entomologists and liberated in several
wheat growing States, and much good
has resulted.-Chicago Chronicle.

DR.. F. D. Kendall will receive this
morning a coop of 300 or more hom-

he will release for the return flight on
the Gibbes Green in the rear of the
University of South Carolina at $50

who are interested in these birds are
invited to be present to witness their
release.
Last Sunday morning DR.. Kendall
released between 200 and 800 birds,
and every one Of them arrived in
Washington on good time, some of
them making splendid fight. These
pigeons are sent to DR.. Kendall by
one of the homing pigeon clubs of
Washington. The distance from Co.
lumbia to Washington is 4S9 miles,
and the Palm Limited, the Southern's
fastest train, makes the distance in

Killed by Lightning.

Barnwel, May 22.-On Monday af-
ternoon about 5 o'clock negro man,
Blake Bishop, and a mule were killed
by lightning on Mrs. J. E. Morris
place, about five miles from here.
Blake was blowing in the field and his
father was at work in the same field
a few hundred yards away. A heavy
cloud came up, but as no rain was
falling the men continued to work. A
bolt of lightning struck the negro and
his mule, killing them both instantly.
Blake's father heard the report and
looked in the direction of his son in
time to see the mule fall. He hurried
to the spot and found that both had
been killed. His sons clothing was
on fire when he reached him, but
there was no scar or burn on the mule
by which one could have told that it
had been struck. Coroner Warner
held an inquest over the body this
morning and verdict was found in
accordance with the above facts.

Oldest Of all Crop Pests.

Few people know that the Hessian
fly is one of the oldest of all the crop
pests in this country, and that its
name was given it as result of the
United States in the straw included in
the impediments of the Hessian troops
sent over against the American revolu-
tionists by George III. in 1776. 1t was
first noticed on Long Island about 125
years ago, and has since spread CO.
extensively with the progress of civil
ization and wheat growing west,
north and south. Sometimes it COM
pletely destroys the growing wheat in
certain sections, and the average loss
it causes is about 100000 bushels
annually, or about s or 7 per cent. OF
the total crop. The chronological
bureau has studied it long and closely,
and the recommendations made to
wheat growers have undoubtedly kept

Falls Backward From Moving Street
Car.

Mr.. j. E. Tindal of Clarendon couIl-
ty, formerly secretary OF State, was
seriously injured in Columbia, May %,
by falling Or being thrown from a
moving street car. The accident oc-
Cured on Main street between Bland
ing and Laurel, at a few minutes after
II o'clock.
= Just how the accident happened is
not known as Mr.. Tindal was at once
rendered unconscious by his fall and
it was so sudden and unexpected that
those near him on the car were una
BILE to account for it's occurrence, ex-
cept that he stood up in the car when
it was near the center of the block
and with his valise in one hand and
without warning apparently stepped
off the car. He had just arrived in
the city, having telegraphed ahead to
to his daughter, Mrs. E. G. Quattle-
baum, announcing that he would spend
the night at their home. And it is
very probable that Mr.. Tindal found
himself being carrid past Blanding
street was either preparing to get off
as soon as the car could be stopped or
lost his balance when he stood on the
running board of the car and fell to
the street. At least one passenger
who was on the car near Mr.. Tindal
says that he stepped off backward, but
those who know him well are of the
opinion that he must have lost his
balance and fallen, as he is a man of
advanced years, and of characteristic
caution.
The conductor on the car says that
he saw Mr.. Tindal stand up as if to
signal for stop at the next crossing
and that he rang the gong and started
toward Mr.. Tindal to warn him to
wait, but before he could reach the
passenger he had fallen violently on
his back and head. The car immedi-
ately stopped and it was found that
the injured man was senseless and
bleeding profusely from the wound in
the back of his head. He was taken
into fruit stand opposite the post
office and physicians were summoned.
AS soon as the physicians arrived and
saw his condition an ambulance was
called and Mr.. Tindal was removed to
the hospital. His son-in-lawr DR..
Quattlebaum, had arrived in the
meantime and accompanied him there.
At 415 he died.

We Think So.

For our part we can see no reason
why every man who wants to run for
governor should feel called upon
to express himself upon tn e
whiskey question, and to make this
the most prominent. There are num-
erous other matters more important
than the dispensary, and we are sick
and tired of this running for office
largely on whiskey platform. The
voters of the State have heard the
thing discussed for the past ten years
or more, and campaign speeches along
this line have ceased to be interesting
to them. Our campaign orators should
find omething more elevating to dis

What Is a Democrat?

For the Lexington Dispatch.
Noah Webster says a Democrat is
zone who adheres to a government by
the people" Robert Ingersol said
9Fthe Democratic party is made up of
the worst elements Of society" Quite
a. Sdifference in these definitions. Ac-
cording to his view a Democrat cher
ished that which was morrow, mean
and low. Such are not true Democrats.
A true Democrat cherishes that which
is right and good. He stands by the
principle that his right ends where his
neighbors rights begins, and that
every man in his proper sphere should
enjoy equal rights. It is to be deplored
that the action of a single man, called
a Democrat, should have ever been
such as to cause those who cannot
distinguish the difference between
such individual, and the party or prln-
eiples upheld by collective body of
individuals to which said individual
may be formerally connected, to con-
clude that the party with which he is
allied is as corrupt as the man whose
life is wrong. In our State and coun-
ty the principles for which Democrat
should and does stand should be
broadened and deepened. The effort
which some of our leaders are making
to narrow those principles down to one
measure and make the word dlspen-
sary the only password to office is an
insult to the intelligence of every true
Democrat. Whenever the Democra-
tic party becomes so pigheaded and
emanciated that it can only root for
one measure and that measure known
to be spotted with corruption and In
the hands of an investigating commit
tee it Will be time for the party to be
abandoned.
But the Democratic party must and
Will take care of itself. The idea that
the rotten dispensary is first, last and
all the time should be sealed up in the
smallest dispensary bottle and mark
ed with a label that did not cost the
State five times what it is worth, in
these or similar words, "tco narrow for
Democracy, therefore, this package
must remain sealed forever" No
worthy sea captain will be lured into
the Malstrum off the coast of Norway,
neither will any true Democrat be
lured or forced within the narrow and
corrupt limits of the dispensary for
the sake of Office. Instead of trying
to tie men to corrupt measure
Democrat will try to remove that
measure and infict the penalties made
and provided for abuse of authority
and neglect of duty. The corrupt
management of the dispensary is a
matter now under investigation. Let
the facts appear. The past is the only
guide to the future. When the in
vestigating committee shall have fin
ished its work the Democrat can speak
more inteligently. Other and better
matters claim his attention till then.
