Martin who is a fine carpenter. Rowell will
not put his machine together in the presence
of anyone. He is just having the different
parts made, but not put together. He says
there is no question but that he has discov
ered a perpetual motion. Powell claims tliat
sometime since he Toceived a revelation
from God which made everything
clear and he has had no trouble in
perfecting -his plans. He claims
that If he can just get enough money to get to
Washington there will be no trouble in se
curing a patent, and he further says if he can
just get to Washington and have it patented,
he wil sell the patent for $3,000,000 and no
less. Powell came from Virginia several

The dry goods firm of Muller & Smith at
Charleston has been forced by Its creditors
to go into the hands of a receiver. This step
has been Drought about by the dull times,
and although the firm cluluis to have assets
far tieyond their liabilities certain creditors
refused to give them time. and. so to speak,
■ drove them to the wall.'’ Theodore A.
Melchers was appointed receiver and the
store will be reopened In a few days.
K. M. Roberts, a druggist of Camden, made
an assignment Thursday morning to John C.
P. Williams for the benefit of his creditors

Mrs. Ann McCarter, who lived near King s
Mountain battle ground, in York countv,

conjecture. She got up in the morning to
prepare breakfast, and soon afterward was
found dead and horribly burned near the
stove in which she had been attempting to
make a fire. She wav subject to fainting
spells, and it is supposed that during one of
these her clothing was ignited.

The Rev. John F. Mitchell, a preacher of
the Second Adventist persuasion,appeared in
Justice William s court at Charleston Thurs
day. He had surrendered himself volun
tarily to the police, stating that he had fired
two pistol shots at his son-in-law,Samuel Nel
son. in self defence. Samuel Nelson being
about to shoot him with a rifle. There seems
to have been a grand family row at the son
inlaw's house, No. 30 Cooper street. The rev
erend and his wife used to live there until a
few days ago, when they left and set up
housekeeping near by. When the reverend
moved he had on a straw hat. and in the con
fusion left hts ■ beaver" behind.
he was to havehad a baptism and wanted the
"heaver" to apjpear in. He went to his son
lnTaw s house to get it, but that individi al
and his wife said that he owed them
two months' rent and they would not let him
have the hat until he paid up. The reverend
stormed about considerably, it is said, and
among other things that he ■ accused his
Gonerll-llke daughter of being a bigamist,
saying that she had another husband in Au
gusta, und that he would have her arrested
on that charge. Things grew lively, and
Nelson poked a rifle out of the window at the
parson, who immediately pulled outarevol
ver and tired two shots at him and then tied
precipitately down the street. It seems that
Jones Is Mitchell s stepson as well as sonin
lawn he having married Jones' mother and
Jones hts daughter It is altogether a very
mixed up affair, und the justice thought the
best way to settle matters was to place the
parson under a heavy bond to keep the peace.
Reports from nearly every township in
Colleton county indicate that agricultural
productions this year will surpass in fluah
tlty and uunltty those of any year in the past
decade The corn crop Is virtually made,
and nothing hut a storm like that of last
year, or other destructive phenomena, can
reduce tile promised yield. Cotton Is re
markably tine Sugar cane, sweet potatoes
und rice are in a flourishing condition. The
pea crop in some communities lias been
slightly injured liy excessive rains, but. not
withstanding this fact, the yield will he far
above the average unless the season con
tinues unfavorable.
It is more blessed to Rive than to re
ciove, and the fact that so many people
are willing that others should have the
blessing shows that people are not so self
ish as some folks, would have us believe.

COUPON OFFERS.
Five Million Dollars
is about the sum which the Treasury of Germany will
probably be shortly called upon to pay, to gratify the
towering ambition of the ruling Monarch of the Empire.
It seems that
Emperor William of Germany
is having anew crown made for himself, arid is most
anxious to obtain, to be set therein, the new Cape dia
mond, weighing 971 carats, more valuable than the fa
mous Kohinoor, and believed to be
The Largest Diamond in the World.
It is known as the “Excelsior,” and is now deposited in
a massive safe of the Bank of England, having been
found last June in the mines of Jagersfontein, Cape
Colony, South Africa, by Capt. Edward Jorganson, the
mine inspector. This dazzling gem is
Fully 3 inches high, nearly 3 inches broad,
and is white, of a very slight bluish tint, with matchless
luster.
Just as the Emperor desires the finest on earth in
the way of jewels for his new crown, why should not
you,one of the Sovereign Peopleof the United States,have
The very best procurable
in whatever you purchase, particularly when the article
is also the cheapest ever offered?
You love information, love learning, like to have a
silent prompter near at hand to post you at once, when
you find yourself “stumped” by not being able to answer
yourself, one of your family or a friend, concerning
something—manufactures, mining, mechanics, medicines,
geography, geology, geometry, chemistry, botany, nat
ural history, or a thousand and one other subjects, in
quiries about which come up
Any day, every day and all day.
Hitherto ymi have been asked to pay from S4O to $l5O
for any sort of acceptable Encyclopedia. Now, we have
obviated all these difficulties by making an arrangement
to furnish to all our readers, everywhere, the very best
work of this class ever published in condensed form,
supplying it at a. purely nominal price.
Rand, McNally & Co.’s Encyclopedia and
Gazetteer,
in 23 volumes, 800 quarto pages, is now within the reach
ot the readers of the MORNING NEWS for 2 coupons
and 10c for each volume. You may call at our counting
room for the volumes, or send the coupons and 10 cents in
stamps for each volume, and we will mail them, postage
paid, to any andress in the United States. Don’t be selfish
or thoughtless, but tell any of your friends about this
Matchless Opportunity
to secure the most unexceptionable bargain ever offered
to newspaper readers. If you desire to make a hand
some present, 23 times over, send in your coupons and
cash, and we will mail the volumes, prepaid, to your
iriend in I acoma, Seattle, Tucson, Trinidad, Grand
k orks, Stevens Point, or wherever he or she may be.
Y hat reminds us that we have not told you much in this
notice, about what the volume contains, and that it does
contain, among the
80 Full-pane Colored Maps,
covering every section of the globe, information about the
places before mentioned and thousands of others of which
you may be uninformed. Would it not be well ttflook
some ol them up? The large number of Astronomical,
Ethnological and other charts which, with the maps,
constitute a
Complete Atlas of the World,
gi\ e a vast fund of information for which vou might
search through many rare and costly volumes without
finding the great amount of learning condensed into this
masterly work, ready at a touch of the finger and a
glance of the eye. Why not read, in the
Thorough Encyclopedia,
about the production of great diamonds like the Excelsior
and other gems, and note the location, latest population,
industries and special characteristics of the places wheru
they are found, in the
Gazetteer of the World,
which we give you also? The grandest of the English
and Scotch Encyclopedias have been revised and con
densed to do service for you here, and the addition of
extremely \ aluable American matter brings our work
Quite up to date,
\y ith much information not to be found in anv other pub
lication. To illustrate, embellish and add clearness to
the descriptive articles at every point the publishers
have included, at great expense,
2,000 Fine Engravings.
i he entire work is printed on superior paper, in large,
clear type, and embraces
300 Quarto Pages.
1 o lii ing oll t the lull beauty of the Excelsior diamond it
must be sent to Amsterdam experts to be cut. Don’t for
get t.iat, in your case, to gain the full benefit of our gen
erous offer, the coupons must be cut. In both cases
I lie Effect will be Dazzling.
