A bill to provide for apportioning
among the several counties of the
State the "total cash balance of the
State dispensary fund now remaining
in the State treasury and not other
wise appropriated" the division to be

nual report of the State superintend-
ent of education for the scholastic

up commission shall be divided in

Jailed on Murder Charge.

Lexington, February Ernest
Thompson, a negro boy of about IA
years Of age, was placed in jail last
night with the charge of murder
resting against him, it being alleged
that he killed another negro boy,
Chestine Young, at Irmo yesterday
afternoon. The trouble occurred ct
Pleasant Spring school house during
the recess hour. 1880
According to the story told by
Thompson, the boy charged with the
killing, Young had been picking a
fuss with his (Thompson's younger
brother, and when the older Thomp-
son asked Young to desist, Young
turned upon Ernest Thompson with
a dra 1n knife. Ernest says he struck
Young over the head with a baseball
bat in an effort to keep him off, not
having the least intention of killing
him. 70.
Young died few minutes later, it
is said, and the boy was committed
to Jail by Magistrate Lorick, of Irmo,
Thompson is perhaps the youngest
person ever charged with mul der in
this county, certainly the youngest in
a number of years.

Is Green to Succeed Watson?

Columbia, Feb. 12.-Leon. NJ.
Green, friend of the governor of
South Carolina, who did some "in-
specting" for the governor at the ex-
pense Of the State, is expected to be
appointed commissioner of agricul-
ture, commerce and industries, to
succeed E. J. Watson. The appoint
ment will be made unless the general
assembly takes the appointive power
out of the hands of the governor.
It is generally rumored in Colum-
bia that Colonel Green is the cam
paign manager for G. L. Blease.
There is more patronage attached
to the department of agriculture than
any other department Of the State
government. About $50,000 is dis
pensed under the direction of the de-
partment. This amount includes the
revenue received from the sale Of the
feedstuffs stamps.
Should L. M. Green be appointed
as commissioner, it would be possi-
BILE for him to name "A feedstuffs in
spectors next summer. These fnspec-
tors would be located in every coun-
ty in the State. It would be possible
for the same Col. Green to instruct
these inspectors to go from house to
house, from store to store, and work
for Candidate Blease.
These questions are being consider
ed very seriously by the general as
sembly and it is expected that some
action will be taken to hedge off the
big political move that the governor
is certain to take.
A. D. Hudson is also contender
for the Job. He, however, has not
rendered such valuable service to the
governor as Col. Green and therefore
will have to play second fiddle in the
game

KISSES WON $1,OOO.~
Juror Saw Them Thrown and De.
cided Love Existed.

The throwing of kisses by Harvey
Rohr and his wife to each other dur
ing the trial of the alienation suit,
in which Rohr sued Edwin Layton.
his foster father-in-law, for $4,000,
was the feature of the case chiefly
responsible for the jury's verdict of
$1,000 in favor of the young hus-
band
In his charge to the jury Judge
Trexler said damages for alienation
could be awarded only in case the
testimony showed that husband and
wife loved each other, and that if
Laytons statement was true that
Mrs. Rohr ha ID no affection for her
husband Rohr could recover. Under
the law the young wife could not be
put on the stand, and thus so far as
the records of the trial are concerned
there was no statement from the
wife herself whether she loved her
husband or not.
It is said that as soon as the jury
began to deliberate several of the
jurors were of the opinion that under
the charge the court had delivered
them Rohr was not entitled to dam
ages.
"Get out" said a member of the
jury who is a grandfather and has
watched the love game for three gen.
erations. Don't tell me these young
people are not fond of each other,
because I kept my eyes on them
chiefly during the two days of the
trial and when they thought no one
would see them they threw Kisses"
Another juryman spoke up, corrob-
Grating the first, and declared his
opinion that from the way they made
"sheep's eyes" they were dead in
love. -
Rohr, as result of the suit, not
only got a verdict, but he also got
his wife back, the reunited couple
promenading about the town after
the trial arm in arm.-Allentown,

NIAGARA's POWER.
Rated Now as Equal to That Of 49,.
100000 Men.

The average man is apt to speak
very glibly of so many hundred
thousand horsepower harnessed at
Niagara Falls, but it is doubtful if
one person in a hundred begins to
understand the tremendous conser-
walton of natural resources effected
at the falls without interfering with
the grandeur of the spectacle.
The 372, 2,S00-horsepower now de-
veloped at the falls is the equiva-
lent of 16,776,000 man-power work
ing an eight hour day, or more
than the combined strength of all
able-bodied men in the United States,
says Niagara Falls special.
Under the American-Canadian
treaty promulgated by the two ma
tions to guard the scenic beauty of
the Falls for all time, only $4,000
cubic feet of water per second, out
of total flow of 100000 cubic feet,
may be delivered from the Niagara
river for power purposes. But even
with this restriction, when the treaty
goes into effect the force conserved
by falling water will be the equiva-
lent of 35,559,OOO men working the
average eight-hour day.
Stupendous although this saving
is, it is nothing compared to the full
strength of the Falls. The volume
of water that will be permitted to
run, so as to perpetuate the beauty
of the Falls, is estimated to represent
118,6S0,000 eight-hour man-power
or about 100000 more man
power than there are men,, women
and children in the United States
and all it's possessions.

Growth Of Democracy.

Here are some figures showing
how Democracy Is growing in the
United States. Out of 4S States 20
have Democratic executives.
Among the Republican governors
only IA are classed as Regulars, .
four of the Others calling themselves
"Progressives," and two frankly ad-
mitting that they are insurgents" :"
The governor of Tennessee can be
classed with neither party, as he was
elected by a fusion of Democrats
ard Republicans, though he himself
is Republican,.
What change has been wrought in
a few years, says the Baltimore Sun.
Not long ago the old-line Republicans
held most of the country. To-day the
Democrats and Progressives have
ousted them from all but IA States
less than a third of the 48.
And the big campaign is only be-
ginning.-Augusta Herald.

UNABLE TO STAND ON ICE.
Max Long in Hospital Sixteen Times
in One Month.

Unless some means are found
whereby Max Long, A years old
can be kept from turning f1ip-flops
on the icy streets the officials of the
State hospital here will have to press
another ambulance into service.
Long has been admitted to thu
State hospital four times every week
for one month, says a Scranton
Pa, special. On Monday he was ad.
mitted three times to be treated fol
slight injuries by falls.
/. For the love of Mike, are YOU
here again." exclaimed DR.. Arthur
Davis, the house physician, as he
saw the ambulance men bringing the
limp form of Long up the hospital
steps.
yep, it's me, Doc. I am the orig
inal fall guy, guess" was Longs
weak retort.
After several stitches had been
taken in a cash on his head and his
other bruises fixed up, where he had
fallen against the curbstone, he was
discharged. The attendants wanted
him to remain in the Institution for
a day or two, until he was better able
to stand on his feet, but the man was
obdurate.
Two hours later there was another
hurry call from Spruce street for the
ambulance. When the attendants ar
rived they found Long again in a
faint, suffering from a fall on the
icy sidewalk.
t'The wicked stand in slippery
Places" commented Long as he was
being carried into the hospital for
the sixteenth time in one month.
"His injuries are not serious, but
we will keep him here for few days
until the ambulance horse gets a
rest" declared Dr. Wilson.

A Really Novel "Skin Came"

Postmaster Campbell, of Chicago,
recently received this soul-stirring
proposition by mail:
Knowing you have had some inter-
est in the fur business I take the lib
erty of presenting you with what
seems to me most wonderful prop
osition, and in which no doubt you
will take lively interest and per-
haps wire me the amount of stock
that you wish to subscribe towards
the formation of this company. The
object of the company is to operate a
large cat ranch in or near Oakland,
where land can be purchased cheap
for this purpose.
To start with we will collect about
say 100000 cats. Each cat will aver
age twelve kittens year. The skins
will run from 10 cents each for the
white ones to rs cents for the pure
black. This will give us 12,000,400
skins year to sell at an average of
80 cents apiece, making our revenue,
about $4,000 day gross.
A man can skin fifty cats per day
for 50. It will take 100 men to oper-
ate the ranch and therefore the net
profit will thus be $4,000 per day.
We will feed the cats on rats and
will start a rat ranch next door. The
rats multiply four times as fast as
cats, If we start with 100000 rats
we will have therefore four rats per
day for each cat, which is plenty.
Now, then, we will feed the rats on
the carcasses of the cats from which
the skins have been taken, giving
each rat fourth of a cat.
It will thus be seen that the bust
ness will be self-supporting and auto
matte all the way through. The cats
will eat the rats and the rats will
eat the cats, and we will get the
skins. -
Awaiting your prompt reply and
trusting that you appreciate the op-
portuntiy that give you and which
will get you rich quick, I remain,
L. T. SMITH.

Orangeburg has been making a
great ado recently because some cot
ton was sold at auction in that city.
Our sister city is away behind. Prac-
tically this method has obtained in
Bamberg for numbec of years. All
our buyers are assembled at the cot
ton platform and when cotton is
brought in they all bid on it and the
one who pays the highest price gets
it. This possibly accounts for the
fact that the Bamberg market is al
wavs ahead of the other markets in
this section. This fact was men
toned to US by a prominent citizen
OF Orangeburg county who always
sells his cotton in Bamberg because
he gets better prices.

with wonderful results in the matter

Improvement of the State house.
Truly the incident is one of the most
