Biddlng en Cuns.

An office in King William Street, in the city, is at present being visited by the military attaches of foreign Embas- sies, army gunnery experts. and gun manufacturers, for in 1t stands a new machine gun which is for sale to the bidder whose offer most nearly ap- breaches the $l,25o.ooo mark at which 1t is valued.
 The gun is the latest invention of a distinguished retired major of the Roy al Engineers, formerly an artillery off, ficer, who years ago in India made the first machine gun. It has been tested under severe conditions in the presence of General Tweedie, Colonel F. N. Maude. and other experts, and 1t is said to be distinct advance on any machine gun at present In use.
 The Russian Government has offered $450,000 for the gun.
 The gun has eight barrels, arranged in two tiers of four. The breech is enclosed in rectangular metal box which includes secret cooling appara- tus.
 One of the features of the gun is tha, there is no loading mechanism to get out of order. The loading is done by hand. and 1t is said that 1t can be loaded at he rate of sixteen cartridges . second.
 A turn of handle fires the breech and q turn of another handle fires the tier. The striking of another handle elects the empty cases. While the one tier is being fired the other is loaded, so that continuous fire car be maintained.
 Not less remarkable than the sim. plicity and ingenuity of the loading arrangements Is the mounting, whicf enables the gun to be fired practical ly straight down on a wall or preci ptce from the top. or straight up ( mountain-side. or at q balloon over. head

The growls of the trademen at Wind sor and even of those in the immedi- ate vicinity of Buckingham Palace at the gradual withdrawal of royal pa- tronage have now increased to roar of indignation, and 1t is a fact that several Windsor tradesmen who fat tened on orders from the castle in former days are on the verge of bank ruptcy.

Gen. w. +. Erwin, One of
"Oconee's Grand Old Men"
Wy ell Known in Lancas-
ter.

A Walhalla writer in the Col.
umbia State gives an interesting
sketch of several of "Oconee's
grand old men," among them
Gen. VIM. F. Erwin who is we'll
known in Lancaster, where many
years ago he married his second
wife, who was Miss Emmons, sis
ter of Miss Olivia Emmous of this
place. His first wife was ALSO a
a Lancaster county woman, Miss
Oonnors, sister of the late w. NJ.
Connors. Gen. Erwin has been
married four times. His third
wife was Miss Dendy, of Wal
halla, an aunt, we believe, of the
Rev. j. Il. Dendy, the Pres by
terian minister at Kershaw. The
aged general now has sister
living in this county, Mrs. Sarah
Floyd, widow OF o. Floyd, of Ker
shaw!
The following is the sketch ol
Gen. Erwin appearing in The
State:
One of these gentlemen is Gen.
w. f. Erwin, who ina short int er
view said he was S5 years old

birth was near Charleston, the
seat of war for independence in
South Carolina Gen. Erwin
says he we'll remembers the visits
of the old Revolutionary war We
terans to his father, DIR. Robert
Erwin, and gives exl eriences; how
interested he was especially to
hear the stories Of his ancestors
and the part they took. His
great-grand father, John Erwin
was colonel and his grandfath
er captain and both fought un.
der Gen. Marion. His grand
father married sister of Gabrie
Marion, whom the British slew a..
ter he was captured. He also ha'
a pair of handouts worn by hi,
grandfather while prisoner.
Gen. Erwin has just completed 6
new residence on Main street int,

moved and are apparently start
