VOTE AGAINST WHIsKEY.

Saturday the primary will take
place, which is to decide the remark
able contest between Carmack and Pat
terson, a contest which is all the more
remarkable that it will practically set

cities of Tennessee and one town,
where booze may yet be got Oh
course, anyone with love of home, will
vote against any measure whereby
the saloon is enabled to keep in bust

to be neglected. Carmack is the mar
who is pledged to root out the saloon

Teaching Baby to Walk.

Never encourage a baby to try to
walk if he seems unwilling to learn.
The sockets of the joints are very shall
low in tiny children, and the bones so
feebly connected hiatt they are easily
dislocated. Besides which. bowed legs
are much easier to avoid than to cure,
and standing before the legs are strong
enough to bear the weight of the body
may result in permanent regret.
About the ninth or tenth month the
first attempt usually is made to place
the child on its feet At the eleventh
with some assistance. The first at
tempts at walking are seen about the
thirteenth month. The average age at
which children walk alone is about the
fifteenth or sixteenth month. Much
depends upon the surroundings. A
great difference is seen in different
families in regard to time of walking.
/ Previous sickness may retard walking,
or, most common of all the condition
of the bones known as ricketts,. In
some instances spinal disease may be
/ the cause.
Massage of the hips and legs for ten
minutes after the morning bath, is the
best external treatment; pour tea
spoonful of olive oil into the palm of
/ the hand and do not massage very rap
idly or vigorously. The even, firm
pressure is tue best motion in case of
/ this sort, and combines a soothing eff
/ feet and the desired stimulation Of the
circulation. Twice day give a half
teaspoonful Of SCOTS Emulsion. The
combination of the oil and hypopbos-
phites of lime and soda viii assist the

John P. Grace Arrested.

Charleston, Aug. 26.-Charleston
was comparatively quiet yesterday
at the polls, and much credit is due
the police force for the good order
maintained. The blue coats were on
duty for hours without relief, and
many of the patrolmen left the sta
ton house at 7 o'clock yesterday
morning, not to return for nearly "a
hours.
There were several arrests made
during the day for disorder of va
rious kinds at the polls or in the
wards, from alterations and other
misconduct growing out of heated
feelings. Fhe most talked of was the
arrest of Mr.. John P. Grace, candi-
date for United States Senate, In
Ward S yesterday afternoon at about
5:45 o'clock. He was charged with
cursing and abusing an officer in the
performance of his duty in Anson
street. Mr.. Grace gave bail for $40
for his appearance this morning in
the police court, and made his ap-
pearance. There was insufficient ev-
idence put in to make out a case,
and he was dismissed by Recorder
Jervey.

MIsTREATED BY SOLDIERS.
Young Woman Brutally Assaulted by
Members of Artillery.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 21.-A special
from Larami, Wyo., tonight says:
while every effort has been made
by the authorities at Camp Emmet
Crawford, the military manoeuvre
ground, to keep the facts secret, it
transpired to-day that on last Sun
day members of an artillery battery
assaulted a young woman, leaving
her bruised and unconscious on the
ground. According to the story a
non commissioned officer of the
Twenty-frst regiment was escorting
the young woman when the pair
were attacked by 80 men of the ar
tillery battery. The officer was
beaten into insensibility with a gun
and the unfortunate young woman
was dragged to an isolated spot and
mistreated. After lying half dead
for hours the victim of the outrage
revived, crawled to a house some
distance away and told her story.
Twenty-six men alleged to have been
implicated in the outrage are under
arrest and are chained together in
the camp prison. They are under
constant guard to prevent lynching,
as sentiment in the camp is strong
against them. Six Of the alleged as
sailants escaped, but three Of them
were apprehended at Rawlins to-day.
The other three are still at large.

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
C. c. Wilson, Aged so, Hangs Him.
self in Laurens Jail.

Laurens, Aug. 25.-The city was
stirred this morning by the news
that some time during the night c.
G.. Wilson, a white man about SO
lears old, had committed suicide in
the police station house by hanging
himself with the blanket from his
bunk, Patrolman w. H. Dudson dis
covered the pendent body at about
1 o'clock this morning on a casuai
stroll through the building. Life
was extinct, the neck having been
broken. The inquest was held at 9
o'clock this morning.
Wilson had been taken in charge
by the police yesterday afternoon at
about 5 o'clock for being drunk and
disorderly. He has been arrested
frequently for the same cause and
detained over night. Last night he
called for a blanket and Chief Bag
well attended to him. At 1 o'clock
Mr.. Dudson happened past the cell
door where the drunken man was
confined and noticed his body close
upon the grating door, apparently
standing; thinking this an unusual
posture tor the man at that time OF
night, he investigated and found
that the body was hanging by the
toru blanket from the uppermost bar
of the cell door. Mr.. Dudson called
to Chief Bagwell and messenger
was dispatched for DR.. Schayer, but
nothing could be done as the unfor-
tunate man had been dead for some
minutes at least.
Wilson was a painter by trade.
but whiskey had about destroyed his
capacity for work. His family live at
the Laurens mills. On several oc-
casions before Wilson has threaten
ed to take his own life. Many ex-
pressions of sorrow have been heard
or the streets this morning, for the
deceased was a harmless man, only
an unfortunate victim of drink.

Two Drowned in Kershaw.

A dispatch from Camden, says the
Wateree iron bridge, which was
operated by a corporation as a toll
bridge, was completely wrecked Tues
day by the high water. The river
is higher than it has been for years
and the immense amount of RATS
and large fiat which came floating
down the stream was more than 1t
could stand. At the time it gave
way there were a number of people
on the bridge, including Mr.. Henry
Savage, the president of the bridge
company. Mr.. Savage and two ne
groes went floating down the river
on a raft. The negroes managed to
get out and the others that went in
at the time the bridge gave way
were all rescued, but the most dis
tressing feature of it all is that Mr.
George RADON, who was crossing in
wagon with little boy named
Hinson, went in, and it is almost
certain that they were drowned
Nothing has been heard of them.

Mills Running Again.

Almost all the mills in the coun-
ty which have been shut down for
the past two weeks resumed opera
ton yesterday. While stopped the
machinery was overhauled and ev-
erything went off smoothly when
they began work after the two
weeks vacation. About all the mills
have begun operations again except
the Pacolet mills, which stopped in
definitely. It is not known when
these mills will resume operations
but the operatives will not suffer, as
the company is giving them one-half
pay and house rent free during the

Capt. Bowie Cut by Negro.

Ridge Spring, Aug. 23.-Davis
Harris, colored, an. ex-convict with
a bad reputation, seriously cut Capt.
J. L. Bowie here Saturday night In
fight on Main street. Capt. Bowie
is resting easily to-day and the doc
tors say that should no complica-
tions arise he will recover.
The negro has not been captured
although a posse was organized and
the negro homes in the town search
ed thoroughly for him. Feeling is
high against Harris, not because OF
the cutting affair but because he is
regarded as a dangerous character.
Capt. Bowie is section foreman OF
the Southern railway here and Is re-
garded as one of the best citizens OF
Ridge Spring. AS near as can be
found out at this time the difficulty
between him and the negro was
brought about by dispute over rent
for a house, Capt. Bowie rented Har-
ris one of the section houses upon
condition that Harris should work
for him. After repeated efforts to
get him to work, Capt. Bowie when
he saw Harris had no intention OF
getting to work, asked the negro for
the money for the house rent.
Harris cursed Capt. Bowie and told
him he would not pay any rent,
whereupon Capt. Bowie struck Har-
ris across the head with a stick.
Then Harris drew his razor and cut
Capt. Bowie across the throat, in
flicting a serious wound. When Har-
ris was taken to the station he es-
capped just as the policeman was
opening the door to lock the negro
up In the cell.

BOY SHOCKED TO DEATH.
Lad Killed by Putting his Hand on
Arc Light Chain.

Greenwood, August pa young
white man named Claude Irwin, aged
II years old, was killed here about
3 O'Clock this afternoon by an cleo
trio shock, which was communicated
to him when he caught hold of the
chain which holds up the arc light
at the corner of Parker and Jordan
streets, on Grendell Mill Hill. 1t is
not known what the young man in
tended to do with the light when he
caught hold of the chain.
This chain, as is the custom in all
places, is for the purpose OF holding
the light up in place, and when re-
leased it allows the light to come
down close to the ground, so as to
be convenient for putting in new
carbons. Recently the superinten-
dent, here has had much trouble
with people interfering with these
arc lights and signs have been post
ed on all poles asking people not to
tamper with them. 1t is not known
how it happened that this light had
a current in it in the daytime, as the
current is not turned on the arc
light system until night. but 1t was
in some way charged with a voltage
of twentv-three hundred volts, that
of the regular day current.
The young man was not badly
burned. Efforts made to revive him
were of no avail Young Irwin had
only recently taken out an indus
trial insurance policy for one hun
dred and four dollars with the Vlr-
zinia Life Insurance Company, and
had only paid forty cents premium

SEND SMITH TO SENATE.
Some Good Reasons why he Should
Represent South Carolina.

Some cf the politicians have
charged that Hon. E. D. Smith has
used the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton as a means of riding into Office,
but the thinking man, the farmer
the real producer of wealth-and
even the business man must admit
that the work done by e. D. Smith
throughout the South and in South
Carolina particularly, has brought
more money to the farmer, the mer-
chant, the doctor, the lawyer and
to every other class than that OF
any other man who has espoused the
cause of the South. His work has
brought results, the increased price
Of cotton which Mr.. Smith and his
associates are largely responsible for
bringing about, has made the peo-
pie of South Carolina-all Of them
more prosperous than they have
ever been before.
Mr.. Smith attended the university
of South Carolina and is an alumnus
of Wofford College. He received his
masters degree at Vanderbilt Uni
versity, the great Methodist institu-
tion of the South.
He comes Of distinguished ances-
tors, being the brother of the Ia
mented Bishop A. Coke Smith.
Mr.. Smith is an orator of national
repute and would be able to hold his
own with the giants of the Senate.
With Smith in the United States
Senate, South Carolina would again
come into her own and be heard
from by the rest of the country. Mr..
Smith has a world Of energy; he
would not only hold his own on the
floor of the Senate, but his energetic
work in the committee room would
count for South Carolina.

Indians in the West. Here in Colum-
bia, where her parents are actively
engaged in mission work, she has
been employed by the mill authorf-
ties to serve as trained nurse In the
Olympia village. Her time has been
spent in visiting the sick, carrying
cheer and comfort in the homes OF

lage she is well known, and her In
fluence has been a factor for good
in the lives of all with whom she
has been associated. A young wo-'
man of unusual character and mark
ed gifts, she will be missed here BY
many who can never forget her kind
ness and sympathy.

river has been rushing down Broad
street in a muddy torrent breast
deep, and all those who had time to
escape have flown to higher ground.
Two women are said to have been
drowned in plain view of number
of people when a buggy in which
they were riding overturned. While
the food was at its highest the ware
houses of Nixon Grocery Company
we're burned, and with them it is
feared that two bookkeepers, who
we're at work at the time, have per-
ished in the flames. 1t was feared
that the canal dam above the city
would break, but it has withstood
the flood and has perhaps saved
many thousands of dollars. It is i'm
possible to even estimate the damage
from this food, but it is safe to say
that the loss will run into millions.
The lower counties of the State
have been the least sufferers from
these heavy rains, and while the
crops have been damaged to some
extent the loss is not to be compared
with the up-country.
Damage to Railroads.
The railroads have been great sut-
ferers by the food. The Seaboard
Air Line trestle over the Congaree
at Columbia was badly damaged, ~
was also their bridge over the
Wateree at Camden. No trains could
be. run over them. The Southern.s
trestle over the Congaree at Colum-
bia also suffered damage, and 1t
Kingville the trestles were washed
away over the Congaree and Wateres
rivers. The food completely drown
ed out Kingville, and the inhabi-
tants had to leave. Trains between
Charleston and Columbia could not
be run for several days, and last
Thursday the Southern and Sea-
board trains to Jacksonville came
through Bamberg. At Augusta the
G. & w. C. bridge was destroyed, ~
was also the trolley bridge across the.
Savannah. Numerous small bridges
were washed away and numerous
washouts we're reported all over the
up-country

with it twenty-five persons, among
whom was Mr.. Henry Savage, the
president of the bridge company,
who, after a Iour hour fight with

below the bridge in tree top. HIS
rescue was effected by a negro man
named John Harold, who displayed
much bravery in going to Mr.. Saw

were supposed to have been drowned
was Mr.. George RADON and his son.
The estimated money loss in this case
is about $4,000.

Practically the entire county Of
Spartanburg was flooded, and the
damage to the bridges in the county
alone is estimated at more than
s150,O0O. The electric plant OF the
