TRAPPER'S LIFE A HARD ONE
Subject to All Sorts Of Perils and Not
lnfrequently Dying Alone in
Ills Bunk.

Outside OF battling with weather
countered by Maine fur trappers are
snow blindness and Influenza" Ben
jamin G. Flood of Boston said to
Washington Herald reporter. Mr..
Flood is engaged in the fur business
and is an expert trapper.
When one becomes snow blind
from long tramping above scaled and
glazing drifts, and the outside world
is made up of alternating bars OF
flame and darkness, the sufferer whit
ties two broad disks Of tough spruce
wood until they are thin, cuts trans
verse slit in it to fit directly over
the line of vision, and goes wandering
about in the semidarkness until he re-
covers. perhaps assisting nature to
some extent by bathing his infamed
eyes in a decoction Of witch hazel
bark secured from bushes which grow
beside the camp.
For influenza, or grip. the trapper
employees the old Indian remedy. 1t
consists of digging circular hole
in the snow, fencing II about with
stout sticks, stood on end. filling the
sides of the hole with heated stones.
throwing the camp blanket above the
sticks, wetting down the hot stones in
cold water. and. finally, getting inside
and remaining until almost parboiled.
The patient also drinks quarts OF
strong and hot hemlock tea. and II
that fails, tries arborvitae or cedar
tea, that Is even stronger.
in case~all cures fall" added MI.
Flood, "as Is not infrequently the
case, the victim dies In his blanketed
bunk, and often remains there for a
year or longer for the wild squirrels
to smoker at and for some prowling
woods wanderer to find and bury with
homely tenderness, taking the store
of furs in payment for the obsequies.
1t is estimated that Is per cent. Of the
solitary trappers perish In the woods
every winter"

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
These columns are edited by the
Democratic Central Committee.
The Shoe on the Wrong Foot.

In recent issue of the New
Time, that paper asserted as one of
the reasons why it was opposed to
Mrs. Galloway for County Treasurer
that she did not need the office.
I'm answer to that statement the Dem
ocratic County Central Committee ex-
planned Mrs. Calloways position
stating that she did need the office
and also that she was thoroughly
qualified for the office. In the last
issue of the New Time they refuted
their former position and now allege
that necessity is not a qualification
for the office. The Democratic COun-
ty Central Committee does not claim
and did not claim that her need Of
THE office was qualification.
The Committee was simply answer
ing the former allegation of the paper
that she did not need the office. The
Committee, however, takes this po-
sition and We think it dis position
that will be endorsed by the voters
generally that where two persons
are running for office, both equally
qualified and one already has hucra-
tive position and the other is wild
ow with two small children to sup
port and no means of supporting
them except by her individual efforts,
that she should receive the prefer
ence ais against the one holding the
lucrative position. The New Time
thinks it has fully stated its case i'm
its editorial adjudicating the election
of the Republican candidate.
That adjudication DIS based first
upon the qualification of the candl-
date which we admit secondly upon
I the fact that The Us a Banker and that
therefore the Taxpayers OF the County
may do their business directly with
the Bank and have a handy place i'm
which to do County business. If this
position be true with regard to tine
present candidates, then we assume
the position of the New Time would
be this, that the office of County
Treasurer ought always to 60 to
Banker because of the convenience
to the people in doing business. In
other words, the New Time would
eliminate every Citizen of the County
be lit man or woman from the office
unless perchance that citizen happen
ed to be an officer of a local Bank
The Democratic Committee would like
to ask the citizens if they would be
satisfied with or would be Willing to
ndorsa an arrangement of this kind
If SO, it might be we'll to have the
legislature amend the law, fixing a.
| QbdIWlCdVOU IOT COuIlUy 1IledSuHRT
that the applicant must be am officer
OF Bank doing business lin the Coun.
| ty Jun which he aspires to the office.
To sum up the whole case, MRS.
Galloway is thoroughly qualified, the
New Time to the contrary, will make
an excellent officer and needs the
office. The Republican candf date is
cashier OF a Bank, has a good po-
sition, is also Qualified but does not
| need the office.
| For which will you vote?

Paul Gilmore at the Academy.

1t is no exaggeration to say that Pau
Gilmore enjoys as much favor with the
t~heatregoing folk of this good town OF
Charlotte, as any actor who is in the habit
of visiting these parts. In fact this is a
most conservative view to take Of the sit,
uation. Mr.. Gilmore seems by some magic
to have won his way straight to the hearts
of these people and they flock to hear and
see him whenever he is billed.
For several years n may have over.
heard his admirers say: Yes, he's good
in The Boys of Company b. and in THE
Call of the North but you just should
have seer him in The Mummy and the
Humming Bird that's where he really
shone." And this remark or the substance
thereof has been made not infrequentfy in
Charlotte.
Yesterday at matinee and evening per.
formances, Mr.. Gilmore gave his Charlotte
friends an opportunity to see him in this
much-vaunted play, and in spite Of the
heartincss of the applause bestowed by
both audiences evidenced that there was
no disappointment in their minds when
the final curtain descended.
"The Mummy and the Humming-:Bird'
is too well-known to allow any discussion
in this place, but like many another good
play, it will bear repetition. Played by
Wyndham in London, and Drew in New
York, Gilmore himself won showers of
bouquets by its production here in the
South some years ago, and the memory
was such a popular one that the star saw
his way clear to revive it this spring. 1t
is whispered that a shrewd manager is 60
ing to send the company out under canva
this summer; and if this is done, it's a
pretty safe bet that the enterprise will be

TOWN OF MCCORMICK AGAIN VISITED
BY BAD FIRE.
$4,000 Loss Only Partly Covered by
Insurance. Whole TOWN. in Danger
One Time.

McCormick-This town was again visited
by a disastrous fire Friday night which
destroyed several thousand of dollars
worth Of property. The fire was discov-
cred at II o'clock at Fooshes Furniture
store, u wooden building, and spread rap
idly TO tho adjoining buildings; Mr.. A.. J.
Davis real estate Office, the barber shop,
Sanders and Whitten's mercantile store
then to Mr.. Geo. Siberts two story dwelling
in the rear Of the stores and to a tenant
house occupied by negroes. The total loss
aggregated about ten thousand dollars
which was partially covered by insurance.
The origin Of the fire is unknown but be-
lied to be accidental.
Practically everything in the path of the
flames was destroyed except the house
hold goods Of Mr.. Siberts.
Mr.. Pet Fooshes' stock was valued at
5 $500 with S2,450 insurance and Sanders
and Written had insurance in goods to
the amount of 81 900.
The whole town was in immcnent dan-

Committee Gets Busy.

The committee appointed by the mas
meeting Of the citizens on Friday after
noon to make surveys Of the proposed
trolley route held a meeting Frida.
evening.
W.. P. Greene, Esq, was elected perma
nent chairman and Hon. Frank B. Gar!
permanent secretary. Phe chairman wa
instructed to consult the officials Of thu
Seaboard road with the purpose in view o
securing the services of a competent ant
reliable railroad engineer to survey thu
two proposed routes to Donalds.
The chairman appointed a committee
consisting Of Mr.. J. S. Stark, MIR. R. Z
Cox, and Mr.. w. S. Cothran to 60 over thu
survey with the engineer. AS soon al
the engineer arrives the survey will b'
begun.
There are two routes mapped out ant
this committee will go over the routes
soon and blaze the way for the surveying
corps.
One route will touch Due West, tho
other will leave Due West considerably tc
the left.
The distance Of a mile means something
like a difference Of twenty-five or thirty
thousand dollars, hence the nearest way
is Of course the cheapest way.
Since Abbeville is four miles nearer
Donalds than Due West we have the ad.
vantage Of Greenwood to the tune of about
one hundred thousand dollars.

Meeting Of Citizens Friday.

Ameeting of the citizens was held in the
Court House Friday afternoon at $50
O'Clock to hear reports from the committee
sent to Grecnvillc to represent Abbevllc
before the Inter Uruan Railway Co.
The committee consisted of Hon. T. Is.
Gary, Mr.. W.. P. Green, Esq. Mr.. II. q.
Smith, Mr.. w. S. Cothran, and Mr.. is.
Stark.
The committee reported that the Sea-
board Railway would be tapped beyond
a doubt. The place will be such as will be
advantageous to the trolley line.
! The plan as outlined for the building OF
the road seems to be this: one-half OF the
expense of the building Of the roads to be
borne by bonded %indebtness, n fourth to
be borne by subscriptions of individuals
of the towns thru which the road passes,
and one fourth by the Interurban Com
panv, the Dukes and their associates.
Thus if it should cost $500, 600 to build the
line from Abboville to Donalds, Abbeville
would have to subscribe s100,0 600 OF that
amount.
Four points are bidding for the road,
Abbeville, Greenwood, Laurens, and Gin
ton.
No false hopes were held to any town. 1t
is purely a matter of dollars and cents
with the company and so they gave each
town to understand. Thus, il it should
cost S75nOO more to build the trolley from
Bolton to Abbeville than to Greenwood
then Abbeville would have to make things
even by putting up the seventy-five thou
sand.
Abbeville has the advantage in distance
by three or four miles. 1t Is stated on good
authority that the line can be run from
Abbeville to Donalds without crossing a
single stream and to Donalds Via Due
West by crossing only one stream.
At present the committee stated that
there was nothing to be done but to look
after the survey. A route should be located
Immediately from Abbeville to Donalds so
as to make the cost of construction as low
as possible.
The following resolution was adopted.
Resolved by the citizens Of the city Of
Abbeville in mass meeting assembled, that
the city council Of the city of Abbeville, be
and it is hereby requested to appropriate
the sum of $1,000. 90 dollars il so much nee
cessary, for the purpose of defraying the
expenses incident to making a preliminary
survey of a feasible route for the proposed
trolley line from Abbeville to Due West
or to such point in the vicinity Of Due
West as shall be deemed best.
Be it resolved further that a committee
OF five citizens of Abbeville be appointed
by the mayor of the city of Abbeville, with
instructions to take the matter in hand,
secure the services of a competant en-
gineer, and report to a subsequent meet

said it could be nothing more or less than

Our Own Congressman.

We are glad to have so many of our ma
tional legislators from Sonth Carolina in
Charleston this week. We wish that the
entire delegation could have been here.
All of these gentlemen ought to come to
Charleston Oftener than they do. Each Of
them has many friends here and the peo-
pie of this city would like to know each Of
them better. Our own observation is that
the South Carolina delegation in Congress
is more active and efficient to-day than in
years past. They appear to be doing more
work and better work, and they promise
yet greater things. The Democracy is
awake, they tell us, and is girding up its
loins and preparing again to become the
triumphant force which it ought always to
have been, and the South CarOlinians are
catching step and preparing TO do their
part and more. We are glad of it. They
can't do too much to suit us. Meantime,
we want them to know that the people of
this city are following with interest their
movements and that we are prepared to

How the Trolley Will Come into Town.

In case Abbeville secures the Inter
urban line it will likely strike the Seaboard
near the Shops. 1t will thus come in a
parallel line with the new street recently
opened up back of the residence of Mr.
Frank Henry.
By coming in that way it will touch the
Seaboard at its nearest point. We're il

Senator Smith Would Have Cotton
Prosecutions Aimed at Those Who
Sold What Want Theirs.

: tine SCate)
The cotton prosecutions still form the
subject of discussion among certain South
ern congressman.
Following the announcement yesterday
that the department OF justice had instruct
ed the attorney at Savannah to present to
the grand jury charges against certain
cotton dealers in Savannah, Senator Smith
prepared Il resolution, which he will intro.
duce in the senate tomorrow. This will
provide that the department Of justice
Shall make an investigation of those who
sold cotton for future delivery and
where they got or where they are going TO
get it.
The senator says there is no corner in
cotton and in the nature of things there
can not be, and that if certain men have
bought contracts for deliveries Of cotton
the fault is with the men who sold the cen
tracts and these are the ones who should
be prosecuted.
