TWO CASES OF SMALLPOX.
Madisonvlls Officials Taking Care to
Prevent Further Spread.
CAUGHT FROM ITALIAN LABoREzs,

Two cases of smallpox resulted
at Madisonville from the passage
some three weeks ago of the
band of infected Italian laborers
through there to work on the
railroad grading near Provi-
dence. Botn are distinctly
traceable to this source of in
lection and the health author
tiles are looking after them
carefully to prevent any further
spread of the disease. 1t would
be a great misfortune if this
malady should spread at this
time of year, as it would mean a
fight on into summer and a great
loss in many ways to the COM
munity.
The two cases are Bob Hall
and Bishop Witherspoon. Mr..
Hall was night operator there.
Young Witherspoon was a mess
enger boy employed about the
telegraph office, and is a brother
of Elmer Witherspoon, of this
place.
Mr.. d. M. Woodbridge, the
railroad agent at Madisonyille,
who was i'll and feared the
disease was smallpox, is out after
a slight illness and fright.
There was rumor yesterday
of a third case but the rumor
seems unfounded.

in times of actual war, except the
privationS caused by an enemy. The
President would have the infantry
march 800 miles to camp, and the
same distance on their way back.
The cavalry would be compelled to
ride 800 miles there and the. same
distance on the return. The benefits
derived by the militia through its
two-month'S association with the
regulars, would be great.

Representatives from Kentucky and
Tennessee took a prominent part in
the debate prior to the passage of the
Hepburn rate bill. Mr.. James offered
an amendment making it unlawful
for any officer, director, or stock
holder of any corporation engaged
as a common carrier to contribute to
any political fund. AS there are
some 800, 900 railroad stockholders
tine amendment would have had a
sweeping effect. Mr. Gaines offered
an anti-pasS amendment W h i c h
caused some amusement as he in
sisted in discussing its merits, and
was continuously and hilariously ap-
plauded.
"You must all have your passes
in your pockets" he calculated
shaking his finger toward the repub-
lican side. On a vote both amend
ments were of course defeated ac-
cording to the agreement of the COM
mittee.
Appointments in Kentucky and
Tennessee have been few this week.
The Senate has received, however,
nominations as follows; Jacob b.
Goffman to be postmaster at Russell
vile, Ky., and Robert F. Ham to be
postmaster at Milan. Tenn.

Mr.. Wallace, in his testimony be-
fore the Senate Committee on Inter-
oceanic Canals this week shed some
light on his opinion of the relative
values of a commissioner at Panama
and one who stays at home. He
told the members of the committee
that $50, 900 was not too much to
pay Mr.. Stevens for the response
bility and the work. On the other
hand he said that the commissioners
who remained in Washington were
we'll enough paid.
"Then Mr.. Stevens would get as
much as six of the Senators pre-
sent queried Senator Morgan.
II presume so; and he earns it."
1--WE are getting all we are willing
to take" replied the Senator

Wallace, reply that caused a shout
of laughter.

of War Taft will bring all possible

Leroy F. Youmans, statesman, sold
Ter, friend, one of the most eloquent
and distinguished lawyers South Car
olina has ever produced, is no more.
He served his State three times as
attorney general; fought bravely in
the Confederate army, represented
the whites of South Carolina, who
were prosecuted in the United States
courts in the Ku-Klux trials. He lived
to see the State he loved overcome
every trial, and died in the confidence,
love and esteem of every South Caro-
Inian. In the death of Leroy You
mans the State has suffered an ire
parable loss-a man is gone whose
place can never be filed.

Railroad Pro bilities.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
q notice of application for charter OF
the South Carolina Public Service
Corporation, which corporation pro-
poses-if charter be granted-to
condemn lands in many of the count
les of this State, Lexington being in
cluded among them. With the six
railroads which now run through
Lexington and with the Augusta
Aiken Columbia electric line, which
seems to be an assured fact, and with
the road now applying for charter,
Lexington can boast of having the
greatest lumber of miles Of railroads
OF any county in the State. We are
glad to see these new corporations
springing up, and we sincerely trust
that these lines will be built. Moth
ing helps to build town and county
Ike these corporations. They turn
loose more money perhaps than do all
other corporations combined and in
this way the whole country becomes
flush with money. This being the
case we think it becomes the duty of
every good citizen to lend whatever
aid they can to these railroad mag
mates and help make the proposed
corporation a success.
The above corporation proposes to
build line from Charleston to Orange
burg, thence up the west side of the
Congaree through the Sandy Run Sec
Z tion of this county into Columbia. If
this line is built, and why shouldn't it
be, it viii go through country that
needs railway facilities as bad as any
in the State, and we believe our peo-
pie in that portion of the county will
do all in their power to aid the cor
porators in carrying cut their plans.
Again, we are reliably informed
that the Southern has a line picked
out which starts at New Brookland,
ia this county, and comes out by Lex
mgton on through the Hollow Creek
section, touching the Saludas line at
Delmar, from which place it will take
q direct course to Mt. Willing and on
to Saluda court house, thence to
Greenwood where it will connect with
the Southern. This last named route
will traverse one of the richest sec
lions of the State, and will open up
trade all along the line. Again, we
express the hope that these proposed
lines win prove to be more than ''hot
air. and that it will not be long be-
fore the work viii commence and the
lines be put in operation.

The Economy Of Burning Small Coal.

The Economy of Burning Small Coal.
 It is q common deiu5ion that small fuel must necessarily be of low calorific valGe. and accordingly of doubtful eco homie value even if it can be burned.
 Is a natter of fact. many small fuels are of excellent calorifie value, and when burned with suitable appliances will show a phenomenal saving. Again and again have I seen an evaporation of ten pounds of water per pound of fuel obtained with slack from Welsh steam coal costing from to 6 shillings per ton less than the large coal. Slack from a good Welsh steam coal is really remarkable value for money as com pared with the large coal from which it is separated Generally speaking, twenty tons of such slack will evapo- rate fully as much water as nineteen tons of the large coal, and assuming their respective costs per ton to be 15 shilings and 20 shillings the saving to the steam user will be the difference ill cost between twenty tons at 1o shllings per ton and nineteen tons at 20 shillings per ton, say f4.-W.
