Bond Issue Considered.

Washington, July 1.-THE pro-
posed Panama canal bond issue to
meet the needs of the treasury occu-
pied most of the time of the cabinet
yesterday. Secretary MacVeagh pre-
sented a draft of the measure pre-
pared by him, which authorizes the
Issuance of bonds to the full extent of
the cost of the canal, including $780,
900, 900 already authorized for that
purpose. The bonds bear three per
cent interest and run so years. There
will be no issuance of the entire
amount Immediately and it was even
stated that while the present situa-
ton warrants immediate steps to
safeguard the government by secur-
ing the authority for bond issue, no
decision has been finally reached as
to issuing any amount of bonds and
the change in the tide of revenue
might make it unnecessary to put any
of them on the market.

Shoots Pin Into Her Eye.

.Asbury Park, N. j., July IL
Through a peculiar accident Mrs.
Wallace Kittel, of Glendola, has lost
the sight of her right eye.
Returning home from visit to a
niece in Millville, she found her skirt
very dusty and started to shake IT..
Suddenly there was a piercing pain in
her eye, and reaching up quickly she
pulled out pin that did not come
out easily, but when it did quantity
of waterlike fluid poured forth in her
hand. The pin had been shot from
the skirt.
Suffering great pain and unable to
see with the injured eye, Mrs. Kittel
was hurried to an eye specialist in
Long Branch, but he gave her no
hope of ever seeing with the eye
again. The physician said that had
she pressed a finger over the wound
to retain the fluid partial sight would
have been saved.

Depot at YOrkville Burns.

Yorkville, July 15.-The depot of
the Carolina & Northwestern railway
at this place, commodious and
we'll made building, was destroyed by
fire about l o'clock this morning.
The fire, the origin of which is un-
known, seems to have started in the
freight room, and very soon the
whole building was mass of flames.
The fire department responded
promptly and by most efficient work
kept the flames under control and
saved valuable property on all sides
of the depot.
The little freight on hand and the
contents of the Office were total loss
by fire and water. Agent Long stated
that he left the depot at 9 o'clock
last night and parties passing there
just before the alarm and neighbors
say they saw no signs of fire nor any
one about the depot.
While the loss on building and
contents is considerable it cannot be
estimated at this time. The safe
with tickets was saved and an Office
opened in one of the waiting rooms.
Through the courtesy of Mackorel
Bros, wholesale grocers, in lending
the use of their Office adjoining, busi-
ness goes on as usual.

Jury Disagrees in Kennedy Case.

Barnwell, July 1S.-After de-
liberation of - hours the jury in the
case of J. Chester Kennedy, charged
with being an accessory in the muir
der of w. Perry Ussery in the town
of Barnwell last fall, filed into the
court room and announced to Judge
Gary that there was no possible
chance of an agreement being reach
ed.
Some reports are that the jury
stood seven to five in favor of convic-
ton and some that there were eight
to four in favor of acquittal.
1t is known that there was prac-
tically no differences between the
Jury as to what the facts and law
were, Immediately after they retired
and there were no changes during the
night in the different votes taken.
The case may be called again next
week by the solicitor for another
trial as it is in his power to do so.

ut Amt Fair.

'The federal government is to-day
issuing licenses for the sale of liquor
in territory where the local authori-
ties have prohibited the sale. In sew
eral States the sale of liquor is pro-
hibited by statute, in a number of
States it's sale is prohibited in ma
jority of the counties, and in all
States it is prohibited in many vii
lagos, towns, cities and precincts.
But in spite of the attempt of local
authorities in these districts to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor as beverage,
the federal government continues to
issue licenses in contemptous disre-
gard of local sentiment and local law.
The government receives $25 for
each license, and in receiving the
money it must either intend to collect
that sum without giving anything
valuable in return Gin case the one
receiving the license does not sell Ii
quor) or to encourage the one re-
ceiving the license to violate the To-
cal law, for he can not use his Ii
cense without violating the law. Can
the Federal government afford to
continue a partner with the law
breakers?"-W. J. Bryan, in the
Commoner.

Will Build Mill at Greer.

Greenville, July 17.-There ap-
pears to be no limit to the building
of mills in this county, and hardly a
fortnight passes now without a new
textile plant being projected or actual
construction being begun or some
new mill.
Ground was broken yesterday for
the new mill at Greer, the contract
being in the hands of the Gallivan
Building Company, Greenville, John
Robinson is president of the new
mill, and he says the plant will be. in
operation by September 1. The
building will cost about 100000,
and the machinery and houses for
the operatives will cost about three
times that amount. The plant has
contracted with the Southern Power
Company and it will be electrically
driven.
The Gallivan Company announced
yesterday that it has also been
awarded contract for the new mill at
Arcadia, the building to cost about
$4,000.

Turns Joy to Mourning.

Brunswick, Ca, July 1S.-Within
Ia half hour after he reached home
after an absence of a year at Rome,
Ca, and while distributing presents
among the members of the family, J.
Edgar Smith, aged 20, shot and al
most instantly killed his 14-year-old
sister, Rebe, who was standing at his
side watching him as he showed his
father a pistol he had brought home
for him. The ball entered the girls
forehead.
The father, mother, sisters and
brothers were standing near. The girl
was young Smiths favorite of his Sis
ters and was nearest him. The young
man had examined the pistol, which
was of the automatic kind, and be-
lieved it empty. He stated that even
though he believed the magazine con-
tained no cartridge he would not
have pulled the trigger, but did so
accidentally. The father, w. J.
Smith, had made special preparations
to welcome the young man at his
ome-coming and it was planned that
after he had distributed the presents
the family would sit down to a re-
union feast.

WAYS of the Blind Tiger.

In speaking of the murder of the
two dispensary constables recently in
Colleton county, the WATERFORD
Press and Standard says Messervey,
the blind tiger, who did the killing,
bears a bad reputation in his COM
munity. He has been notorious
blind tiger for long time, and has
a term on the chain gang to his
credit some years ago for selling
whiskey. The package he had in the
wagon was fifty gallons of alcohol to
be used in the manufacture of blind
tiger liquor. This has been captured
by Magistrate Towles." We call the
attention of people who drink blind
tiger poison to the fact that this man
Messervey had in his possession fifty
gallons of alcohol out of which he in
tended to manufacture whiskey for
his customers. That is why blind
tiger whiskey causes people to COM
nit. such murders as sometimes takes
place in prohibition counties.-Or-
angeburg Times and Democrat.

THIRTY GALLONS POURED OUT.
Contraband Liquor Emptied Into the
Gutter in Laurens.

Laurens, July 16.-Thirty gallons
of good ticker" coursing down the
sewer main of this city is the sad
tale of an official act by Sheriff Ow-
ings and his constables this morning.
Twas mournful spectacle to many
some "cussed." In the large
crowd of by-standers there were
watery mouths galore; eyes were
widened with astonishment; some
wished they were fishes in the waters
of Little river, into which this "oil
of joy" was flowing.
Some one, no names, simply could
not stand the sight, and to "get
even" with the sheriff wrote on one
of the cases about to be opened
"Sheriff Jno. D. Owings, Laurens, S.
C. Express Prepaid" and then the
laugh was on the officer for bringing
out his own "jug" and destroying ii
by mistake.
The 80 gallons of whiskey have
been held in the sheriff's Office fol
the allotted 80 days. 1t has been
seized at various times from persons
in and around Laurens, who were
under suspicion of selling it. Nc
claim and delivery papers having
been served upon the officers, it was
destroyed this morning by due pro-
cess of law. This is the first official
act of this kind in these parts in
many years.
