RHETT AND GRACE IN PICKENs.
Grace Gets the Lie from Legarc
Rhett Holds to Democracy.

Easley, July 22.-Abott fifteen
hundred people listened to the Sena-
torial candidates at Pickens to-day.
The feature of the day was refer
ence by Mr.. Grace in his speech to
the mayoralty race in Charleston
some years ago, when Mr.. Grace an
nounced that in a public speech. at
Charleston gentleman now in the
Court House, and well-known in
Pickens, had himself announced that
Mr.. Rhett was responsible for the
appointment Of Crum as collector of
the port. Thereupon, Mr.. Legare,
who was seated in the audience arose
and asked If Mr.. Grace meant the
reference for him, Mr.. Grace reply
ing, "If the cap fits wear It," where
upon Mr.. Legare again rose and with
vehemence said: 81 denounce that
statement as an absolute lie." The
audience cheered heartily.
Hon. R. G. Rhett commenced to
make his speech, but was interrupted
that Chairman Mauldin was compell-
ed to call Mr.. Grace to order several
times. Mr.. Rhett told the people Of
this county that he did not vote the
Democratic ticket in 1896, but that
he did not vote against it. He stat
ed that in his opinion free silver
would have been a ruination to the
country. He said: 81 may have been
wrong, but could not vote against
the dictates Of my heart and con-
SCIENCE"
He further stated that he was now
in favor of Bryan, because If there
was chance for the Democrats to
win he was satisfied Bryan was the
most available man in the Demo-
cratic party. He told the people Of
Pickens that Mr.. Grace supported
him for mayor, and also voted for
him as a delegate to the National
Convention. -

The First 2S-KnOt Liner.
(Scientific American.)

(Sc1ent1hc Americana
The ''Lusitania," by making her
last passage from Queenstown to
New York in a days, 10 hours, and
SO minutes, at an average speed of
25.01 knots, has the distinction of
being the first 25-knot transatlantic
liner. On her first day out she made
record run Of 643 knots, at an av-
erage speed Of 1888 knots. 1t has
taken twenty years to raise the speed
from 20 to rs knots, and the ques-
ton naturally arises as to how many
years Of development will be neces-
sary to reach the 30-knot mark. One
thing Is certain, that unless our ma
val architects can find some form of
propeller that will show a much
higher efficiency than the best of
those now in use, the 30-knot liner
must be driven by some other form
OF motor than the steam turbine. 1t
will be far greater task to raise
the speed from 25 to 80 knots than
1t was to raise 1t from 20 to 25 knots.
The resistance or snip at these
high speeds increases approximately
as the cube Of the speed. The cubes
of 20 and 80 are respectively ,625
and $1,000; and since it takes TO-
600 horsepower to drive the "Lusi-
tania" at 25 knots, 1t follows that
121 900 horsepower must be put
into the ship to drive her at 80 knots
Now her present engines and boilers
already occupy $50 feet of her
length; and the doubling of her mo-
tive plant Is evidently impossible.
Future ships will of course he longer,
but he would be bold architect who
would undertake to guarantee 80
knots, even In a 1,000-foot vessel.
If it were possible to get 80 per
cent propeller efficiency, it might be
done, but not otherwise.

1t is mentioned in the Horse1ess
Age, that the city Of Milwaukee will,
in short time, use no horses for
municipal purposes, except to draw
fire engines. The city officials are
convinced that the automobile Is so
far in advance of the horse in cost,
maintenance, and utility, that there
is hardly any room for a comparison.

What about New York;" was an
other question which prompted itself.
'The Tammany people, 900
strong" he replied, went away from
Denver seemingly absolutely satisfied
that they would not only support
Bryan and Kern, but would work to
win. With Tammany working for
the ticket with large accessions of
the labor vote and with the legiti-
mate business interests of New York

Bryan Campaign.
"Mr. Bryan's campaign will have
at least one novel feature" said Mr..
Gonzales. "That feature will be the
resort Of the pen rather than the
tongue;. to the press rather than the
platform.
when I appealed to Mr.. Bryan to
make as vigorous a canvas as in
1885," said Mr.. Gonzales, che re-
minded me that he was now twelve
years older, and besides,' said Mr..
Bryan, Il believe can be more effec-
tive in writing arguments for Democ-
racy that newspapers can use If they
will, over my signature
when I saw him last week it was
Mr.. Bryan's intention to deliver two,
perhaps three, speeches in New York
State, one Of them in New York city,
and six or eight speeches in the
States Of Illinois, Ohio and Indiana.
He proposes to discuss fully some
one Democratic principle in each of
these addresses. The remainder of
the campaign Mr.. Bryan expects to
stay at home and prepare letters or
articles in the nature of signed edito-
rials for such newspapers as will use
them. He will also discuss the issues
with any Democratic speakers that
wish to consult him.
"The West is giving Mr.. Bryan
much encouragement, and he Is very
hopeful-remarkabl more buoyant
than before the convention"
Mr.. Gonzales twice visited Mr..
Bryan at Fairview, the nominees Ne
braska home. After the adjourn
ment Of the convention Mr.. Coma

scenery in Colorado. crossing "The

going through 33 tunnels in rs miles

MRS. DELL WINS
FIRST PRIZE
HER GUESS WAS VERY CLOSE TO
SALES OF MAURY DRY
GOODS CO.

First prize in the guessing contest
at the Maury Dry Goods Company, on
the amount of sales during the mid
summer clearance sale, was awarded
to Mrs. T. F. Bell, who came within a
few cents of the actual amount of the
sale. The second prize went to Mrs.
S. G. Digger, who missed the correct
amount only about 81. The sale ana
the contest attracted much attention
and several of the gueSses were very
close together. The sales for the two
weeks exceeded very largely the total
for the midsummer sale of last year.
This shows that business is constantly
improving in this city and county.

BROTHER SLAIN
BY BROTHER
NO EYE-WITNESSEST TO TRAGEDY
FOLLOWING QUARREL BE-
TWEEN PRINCIPALS.

a, DOVER, Tenn, July 2S.-A most
deplorable tragedy occurred at Bum.
pass Mills, about 10 miles from here,
yesterday afternoon, when Hugh JEFF
fries met his death at the hands OF
his brother, Totts.
There were no eye-witnesses to the
tragedy, the only details of the kill
ing, as well as the causes leading up
to it, being obtained from the surviv-
ing brother.
According to the story of the bro
ther who did the cutting, the difficulty
Or trouble leading up to the tragedy
was caused by the attempt of the
slayer to collect rent from his brother,
which the dead brother claimed he did
not owe.
1t is stated by Tots Jeffries that he
had rented his brother a cottage for
use of negro tenants, but that the
negroes, having received threats from
night riders, abandoned the place, he
holding his brother responsible for
the rent for the entire term called for
by the original agreement. He claims
that his brother was the aggressor
and that he killed him in self-defense
The stricken man died almost imme-
diately after being cut and before
anyone could reach him in time for a
statement or to summon medical as
sistance.
Bad feeling had existed between the
brothers, growing out of the division
Of some property few years ago, but
there had not been any actual trou-
BILE between them until the happen
ing of the tragedy.
