LYNCHING MAY AWAIT SEAIMES.
Floridians Unlikely to Deal Gently
With Aiken Mans Slayer.

Aiken, November ia good deal
of interest is manifested here in the
arrest in Charleston Of Ed Semmes,
the negro who cut to death Mr.. NJ. S.
Redd, of this county, in Mulberry.
Fla.
The murder of Mr.. Redd is de-
scribed as one of the foulest that had
ever occurred in that section of
Florida. Mr.. Redd was overseer of
a gang of hands in Mulberry. Two
negroes, one of whom was Semmes,
are said to have become enraged be-
cause of Mr.. Redd's refusal to do
something asked of him, and they are
alleged to have plotted to take his
life. They waited in ambush until
Mr.. Redd passed going home, and one
of them grabbed him and held him
while the other, Semmes, cut him
with a knife.
So outraged we're the people of that
section that when one of the negroes
was captured they strung him up to
a convenient tree, and Semmes would
have met with a similar fate if he
had been captured. A reward OF
$500 is out for Semmes' arrest. 1t
is believed that if he is carried back
to Mulberry he will share the fate of
his fellow-murderer. Mr.. Redd was
the son of Mr.. M. c. Redd, one of
this countys famous citizens.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous lin
Ing OF the eustachian tube. When
this tube is .infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it il entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
aammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars free.

DRIVEN 10 BANKRUPTCY.
Failure of Farmers to Fulfill Cotton
Contracts the Cause.

Rock Hill, Nov. 1S.-A petition
was filed here this morning before
c. w. F. Spencer, Esq, United States
referee in bankruptcy, adjudging
Shannon & Hope, who have been con-
Quoting a big general mercantile
business at Sharon, bankrupts. Your
correspondent is informed that they
sold several hundred bales of cotton
in the spring for fall delivery which
they had bought on contract from
their customers, and when the time
came for the customers to bring it
in some of the latter refused to do so
because the present market prices
were so much higher than at what
they had bargained it to the above
firm, and on this account the firm
lost several thousand dollars. They
gave their liabilities at $4,000 and
assets at 100000.

GAZING MADE THE
 RIVER HIGHER HERE
Erosion Has Caused Water to Stand
 Two Feet Above Normal.

The channel of the Arkansas river has changed greatly at Pine Bluff, and has caused tie readings of the new river gauge to appear to be about two feet higher as compared with the former river gauge, since the caving of the banks of the Arkan~ sas during the flood last fall, accord ing to Section Director Fl. F. Alcia- tore, of the United States weather bureau, at Little Rock.
 When Mir. Alciatore was at Pine Bluff recently to examine the new river gauge there he inquired of ]. NJ. Hudson. river observer, and man who is familiar with the behavior of the river for the past score of years, ii he knew of any reason why the new gauge should not be acceptable. MT. Hudson said that the readings on the new gauge appeared to be about two feet too high as compared with the former gauge.
 This caused Mir. Alciatore on his re- turn to refer the matter to the United States engineering office at Ltl.e Rock
 < new sci of levels was run by the engineers, with the result that tho first set of levels proved to be cor rect and the change of the channel was verified.
 The engineers found that tho cay in. of the banks and tie accumu,a- tion Of aelr:s and silt at the lower end of the harhor when the channel became constricted had brought about the formation of sort Of q dam and bad cause, the water 70 bank up.
 This had caused the water to ap pear higher than it should be with the same volume. As this occurred when the stage was below 20 feet Mir Alciatore states that he antici- pates no serious result to Pine Bluff as the water, should ii arise above this mark would find ample space without producing an overflow.
 Before the c;lving in of the hanks the river presented a well defined channel, but now, with the stage be- low 20 feet, it presents the appear tance of I broad lake.
 The blowing up of Boyd's Point
  this present appearance. The new gauge is set at precisely the Jane elevation as the former one. which was 2oo.94 feet; yet owing to the change in the channel of the river. it appears to be two feet higher
