OPPOSES THE DISPENSARY.
South Carolina Prohibitionists Say it
is Not YYhat They Want.
Chairman L. D. Childs, of the South
Carolina stato prohibition executive
committee, issued an address to the
people of the state, Saturday, setting
forth the jmrposes of the organization
of tho stato central committee. He
says that tho imputation that the pro
hibitionists who do not favor the dis
pensary have allied themselves with
the saloon element to prevent the es
tablishment of dispensaries, is totally
false. He says: ‘ ‘The dispensary law
is not the legislation demanded by the
vote of the people. On the contrary,
it is the expression of the opposition
to prohibit as set forth in the Roper
bill, passed by the house, and is dis
tinctly and avowedly a law for the sale
of intoxicants as a beverage and a sub
stitute for prohibition.
NOT ACCEPTABLE TO PROHIBITIONISTS.
“For this reason it cannot be ac
ceptable to those who look to prohibi
tion as the only remedy. We are not
prepared to assert that therp is no
good in the dispensary law, or that in
its operations i*. may not prove to be a
step in tho direction of prohibition.
We affirm a proposition, the truth of
which must bo patent to both friends
and foes of the measure, that, without the
dispensary, it will prove a good prohi
bition law, while, with the dispensary,
thero is no prohibition in it.”
DOES NOT PROHIBIT.
The dispensary act, it is true, closes
the saloons and clubs and rids us of
the many pernicious and corrupting
influences, social, political and moral,
which they engender, but it provides
another way by which liquor is sold as
a beverage and the work of demorali
zation is perpetuated. The dispensary
act not only fails to stop the sale of
intoxicants but with every package
which it stamps and delivers to the
dispenser to be sold as proper and
good for use as a beverage, it sets the
seal of condemnation on the public
sentiment w’hich has long since, by the
restrictive and prohibitive conditions
which it imposed upon the liquor traf
fic, marked it as a business dangerous
and pernicious to society. Under a
pressing sense of duty to ourselves and
those who are to come after u we are
bound to continue tho fight i.q which
we are engaged as long as the evil ex
ists or there is promise of ultimate
success.
SENATOR STANFORD’S WEALTH
A Careful Estimate Places the Fig
ures at About $35,000,000.
A careful estimate of the late Sena
tor Stanford’s property indicate that
its value is somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $35,000,000. The estate
consists in a large part of one-fourth
shares in the Pacific Improvement
Company, the legal association through
which Stanford, Huntington, Hopkins,
Searles and Crocker own and
control the Southern Pacific Com
pany. Its nominal assets, in the
way of railroad property, amount
to $220,000,000, but the actual
value is about S2O per share, or $42,-
000,000, of which Stanford’s holdings
are worth $10,000,000. Besides this
the Pacific Improvement Company
owns a large block of Southern Pacific
bonds, on which the interest is 5 or 6
per cent annually. Stanford’s share
of these bonds is said to be $14,000,-
000 net. From the 6tock and bonds
alone the Stanford estate is said to
receive an income of nearly sl,-
000,000 annually. Then there is
the San Francisco cable road
property that pays 10 per cent
annually on $12,000,000, of which
Stanford’s share is $3,000,000. He
leaves 100,000 acres of land, including
the great vineyard, the Palo Alto
property, the stock farm, and other
real estate worth $6,000,000, and other
personal property $1,000,000, making
the aggregate value of the estate about
$35 ,000,000, on which there is an an
nual income of perhaps $3,000,000.
AN ANARCHIST MONUMENT.
Erected to the Memory of Spies, Par
sons, Fischer, Lingg and Engel.
A Chicago special says: The monu
ment erected in memory of the five
anarchists, Spies, Parsons, Fischer,
Lingg and Engel was unveiled Sun
day afternoon at Waldheim cemetery.
More than twenty-five hundred per
sons assembled at the burial ground.
The crowd was orderly and the few po
licemen under whose protection the
ceremony took place, found little to
do beyond keeping the sympathizers
with anarchy in line as they surged
through the gates of the enclosure. It
was a crowd of Germans, Poles and
Bohemians. Scarcely an American
was to be seen, and the exercises were
carried on mainly in foreign tongues.

Made Good.
The United States court of claims
has adjourned for the usual summer
vacation until October 16th next. A
number of opinions were announced.
Among them was one in favor of James
A. Briggs, of Kentucky, administra
tor of C. M. Briggs, for $88,104 for
cotton seized by the United States
government during the war of the re
bellion. A decision was also rendered
in favor of the Old Corporation bank,
of Virginia, now represented by W.
R. Isaacs, W. B. Taylor and John C.
Williams, for $16,987 in gold. This
was a part of $177,721 in gold captur
ed at the end of the war by the union
army in the fall of Richmond. The
sum of $46, 039 belonged to the con
federate states, and was confiscated;
but the amount owned by the bank of
Virginia is now, by the decision of the
court of claims, returned.
(•old Exports Dropped.
For the past three weeks no gold has
been exported from New York to Eu
rope, and, as a consequence, the treas
ury department has been gaining gold
during that period, the net gold bal
ance on Wednesday was $94,005,030.
During the current month the treasury
department has redeemed nearly $6,-
000,000 of gold certificates, the amount
outstanding now being $98,070,000,
against $104,000,000, on the first of
June. While the receipts and expend
itures of the treasury department have
kept about even during the month,the
stated balance is $26,420,415. Of
this amount $12,253,000 is in subsidiary
silver and minor coin and $11,921,000
in national bank depositories. This
statement shows that the treasury is
provided with a good working cur
runcy balance, so much so, indeed,
that it is determined to declare a
quarterly interest on July Ist on the
United States 4 per cent bonds and
Pacific railroad bonds. The only ob
ject of anticipating the interest would
be to relieve the money market to the
extent of the interact paid. This
would release $7,000,000 now in the
treasury and put a like amount in cir
culation in the business centers of the
countrv.
The sugar season in Cuba may now bt
considered virtually ended, as the yield oi
the few estates still grinding will have no ap
preciable effect on the total production. It
is estimated that the yield of the whole Isl
and will amount to between 760,000 and 800,-
000 tons, a verylarge decrease from the aver
age total production.
WAKULLA VOLCANO SOLVED.
The Great Mystery of Florida Proves
to be Burning Earth.
In the tangled woods of that part of
the great Florida swamp that borders
on the territory of phosphate mining,
a prospector has just made an inter
esting discovery. He has solved the
famous mystery of the Wakulla vol
cano.
Instead of a volcano he has found a
vast expanse of burning earth.
Learned men for a long time have
held that an active volcano must exist
in this hitherto inaccessible region.
For many years scientists, adventurers
and explorers have made spasmodic
attempts to penetrate the swamp, lured
on by the strange tales of the simple
people who live in its vicinity and by
the wonderful phenomena which they
themselves have observed from afar.
The unvarying report of the country
folk has been that from this great
swamp from the time of their fathers
and grand-fathers, clouds of steam and
smoke have risen in volumes, and that
at certian periods flames of fire have
been seen to belch forth as from the
crater of a huge volcano, making at
night a most weird display on the dis
tant horizon. Indeed, since no one
had ever seen the actual spot, and nc
adequate cause could be given of the
strange phenomena, they hare beeD
regarded as a sort of superstition.
The swamp is located on the Gull
of Mexico, and is many square mile?
in extent. It is just south of Talla
hassee, and covers a part of Wakulla
and Jefferson counties. It is most
easily approached from the state of
Georgia. During the civil war union
gunboats on the way to the seige of
New Orleans anchored off the place
and shelled the spot where the smoke
was issuing in the belief that it was a
camp of confederate soldiers engaged
in refining salt.
Six or seven years ago a New York
newspaper man offered a reward of
SI,OOO to the man who would pene
trate the swamp, explain the mystery
and prepare a full account for his col
umns.
Since that time a continued interest
has been manifested in the mystery.
One adventurer who has made his way
within two miles of the supposed vol
cano, climbed to the top of a tall tree
to catch a view of the distant wonder,
but the boughs gave way beneath him
and he nearly lost his life. Mr. A.
W. Barber, who was formerly con
nected with the Florida geological
survey, made several excursions into
the swamp. He carefully surveyed
the region, and after making observa
tions of the strange fire, he located its
situation, but without reaching the
spot.
Mr. Martin, a prospector for a. firm
of Georgia capitalists who have-exten
sive interests in mining Florida phos
phate, is the man that made the con
clusivediscovery, largely to gratifiy hifl
own curiosity. He found the surface
of the swamp honey-combed with holes
made by the fire. They extended for
miles and miles, showing that the
fire had steadily burned for many
years. The depth of the vast fissures
was about five feet, and in the bottom
of the deepest salt water was found,
which proved that the surface of the
swamp was but little higher than the
level of the gulf, and underground
channels were discovered which drain
the swamp of its waters.
As he approoched the locality whdre
the fire was active the air was filled
with thick smoke, tho stench of decay
ing fish became almost unbearable, and
booming like that of a distant cannon
were heard.
The earth of roots and coarse vege
table fibers protected by a waterproof
moss, like an immense peat bog, has
fed the fire with a ceaseless supply of
fuel. In such a soil the flames would
smoulder for months during the rainy
season to burst forth when the sun and
the drouth returned. The tall trees,
to the very top of which the flames
climbed, account for the phenomena
of the spouting fires at which people
have stood aghast for generations.
The success of the discovery is due
to tho fact that the approach was made
from the north side by which the pooh
and dense growth of canebrake, which
have been hindrances to former explo
rers, were avoided. Plenty of time
and abundance of provisions were
available, and the work of hewing a
path through the dense undergrowth
and fallen trees was taken up system
atically and patiently.
It is impossible to estimate the time
the Wakulla fire may have been burn
ing, but to judge from the vast ex
panse already covered it must have
been lighted at least a hundred years
ago, nnd there is fuel in this deep mo
rass to feed it a thousand more.
THE PLAN FALLS THROUGH.
DießichmondTerminal Reorganization
Committee Says There is No Hope. '
A Savannah special says: The Hol
ins plan for the reorganizing of the
Central railroad has exploded. There
s no hope for the holders of jYmior se
mrities on that line. The Hollins com
>any notified Mr. Comer Monday that
here is no longer any hope for the
>lan. It is understood that this dedis
on has been reached on the idea that
here is so much opposition to their
cheme by outsiders and insiders that
hey are glad to give it up. But the
eal reason appears to be that the tight
noney market makes it impossible for
he party to carry out its proposition,
rhe truth is there is no other reason
-o be assigned.
Eulalle’s Departure.
The Princess Eulalie sailed Saturday
or her native land. There were ten

THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH.
Notes ot Her Progress aai Prosperity
Briely Epitomized
And Important Happenings from Daj
to Day Tersely Told.
The North Carolina department of
agriculture Monday had advices from
correspondents in several counties on
the appearance of the cotton louse, a
rare insect in North Carolina, and of
damage done by it. The extremely
rainy weather during June has been
favorable to the development of this
insect. Cotton is backward and is
lagging behind all other crops.
A run was precipitated on the First
National bank of Birmingham, Ala.,
Thursday morning by an unfounded
rumor that it had refused to pay an
SBO,OOO check. Several hundred de
positors, mainly out-of-town people,
drew out several thousand dollars, but
the deposits during the time of the run
amounted to five times the amount
paid out. The run was over by noon.
President Henszey, of the Raleigh
and Western railway, reports work as
actively in progress. The road will be
extended fifty miles, from Egypt to
Asheboro, N. C. At the latter place
it will connect with a branch of the
Richmond and Danville, of which ten
miles are graded. The work is heavy
with many bridges. The longest is of
steel, with a 200 feet span across Deep
river.
A Louisville, Ky., special says: The
surrender of Louisville Southern stock
and securities in the Richmond Ter
minal reorganization scheme still goes
on at the Columbia Trust company’s
office. Monday morning bonds to the
amount of $9,500 were turned in, mak
ing a total of $2,871,000 to date. The
stock surrendered during the day
amounted to $22,475, making a total
to date of $2,007,729. The last day
for the'surrender is July Bth.
The brand new board of trustees ol
the. Florida Agricultural college, al
Lake City, have put in an appearance
and as their first act demanded and
received the resignations' of all con
nected with both the college and the
experiment station. Consternation
prevails in their ranks. A goodly
number of fat places are thus thrown
open to the country at large, though
only for a limited time, as the board
meets again July 11th to fill the posi
tions.
The miners of Blue Creek, Ala., mel
in convention Saturday and considered
the proposition from the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railway Company to
reduce the price paid for coal 5 cents
in the summer and 2 1-2 cents per ton
in the winter. The colored miners
were represented in the meeting, which
■ was well attended. After some time
having been spent in discussion, itwaa
decided by a unanimous vote not to
accept any reduction. This action
may result in a general strike. The
company employs several thousand
men.
A New Orleans special says: Two
crevasses were reported Friday morn
ing. The levee opposite the Rescue
plantation, a few miles above Plaque
mine, broke, and is 125 feet wide.
Efforts to close it are not meeting with
success. The big sugar parishes of
Ascension and Iberville will suffer se
verely. The other break occurred two
miles above the Bodeaux, on the east
bank, and is fifty feet wide. It will be
closed. The river in New Orleans
reached eighteen feet, the highest
point ever recorded, and still rising,
and points above also report rises.
THE EARTH TREMBLED.
Some of the Seaboard Cities Visited
by a Light Shock.
A slight earthquake shock moving
from the northwest to the southeast,
was felt at Charleston, S. C., at 11.05
Tuesday night. First there was a
tremor, then a faint roar and then
came the wave. The people got out
of bed and ran into the streets as they
did in former earthquake times.
Though considerable alarm was felt,
there was no damage to person or
property.
At Savannah the shock was felt quite
severely. It lasted from ten to fifteen
seconds. Buildings all over the city
were shaken considerably during that
time, but no damage was done so far
as has been learned.
At Brunswick the shock was felt
about 11 o’clock. Newspaper workers
on The Times and correspondents at
their desks felt a perceptible rocking
of the building and hurried down to
investigate the cause. The shock was
perceptible in every section of the city.
Augusta was shaken for several seo
onds by an earthquake. It was quite
severe and generally felt. People
rushed out of their houses and lined
the streets. They were a little fright
ened, but not seriously.. No damage
was done.
At Columbia, S. C., the quake was
severe and sharp, and was felt all over
the city, causing great excitement.
At Wilmington, N. C., the shock
was felt at 11:15, and lasted but a few
seconds. Hundreds of people were
aroused from sleep and many rushed
in terror to the streets.
SENATOR STANFORD’S BURIAL.
The Impressive but Simple Ceremonies
Witnessed by a Great Throng.
The funeral services over Senator
Stanford were held Saturday on the
grounds of Stanford university at Pa
lo Alto, Cal., and the remains were
placed in the family mausoleum. Spe
cial trains from San Francisco brought
great numbers of people. The em
ployes of the ranch, numbering 150
men, acted as an escort. They were
followed by the clergy and pallbear
ers in carriages. The services were
simple. Bishop Nichols read the .bu
rial services of the Episcapal church

“German
Syrup”
My niece, Kmeline Hawley, was,
taken with spitting blood, and she
became very much alarmed, fearing
that dreaded disease, Consumption.
She tried nearly all kinds of medi
cine but nothing did her any good.
Finally she took German Syrup and
she told me it did her more good
than anything she ever tried. It
stopped the blood, gave her strength
and ease, and a good appetite. I
had it from her own lips. Mrs.

Diamond Market of the Future.
“Chicago,” says a diamond exiw
“is soon to be the greatest diaS
market in the world, because Chi 03

of the current. Nearly *2,000,000

from Africa. ” — Philadelphia Ledger
