Another game was played last Thursday evening between two local clubs, just to "keep their hands in."
The Orageburg Enterprise, which started a semi-weekly edition aboul the time we did, has announced that it will dis¬ continue it hereafter, and pub¬ lish once a week. The Enter¬ prise says that it does not pay them, although it has 1300 sub¬ scribers. We havo never yet earned an extra dollar by our experiment with a semi-weekly, hut liave determined to tiy the experiment a little longer. Perhaps when the times get a )itt)d belter, the merchants and business men will patronize ua more and help UR to keep up the two' issues a week.
"Financial Stringency."
(From the Now York Trilniiic.)
"Speaking of financial strin¬ gency," said a Wall Street bro¬ ker to his companitms as they wero lunching together yester¬ day, "I've got a good one to tell you. Saturday morning a tall, solemn-looking stranger went iuto a bauk, which I might name,onlyI promised I wouldn't and approacliiug the window of the receiviug teller, quietly re¬ marked that he -would like to deposit. $5,000. The teller in courteous tones inquired if tho already bad an account at he bank. Tho stranger said ,lie hadn't. So the teller hastened outside,   escorted  him  to the
{iresident'sroom, and introduced lim to the president. The pres¬ ident, on learning his business smiled kindly, offered him a sfeat, and remarked that it was a fine day. Well, of course, they entered the new deposi¬ tor's signature in a big ledger, and one of tho clerks was direc¬ ted to provide him with a pass¬ book, Thentho receiving teller took him back into tho bank and politely asked   for  his  do-
fiosit. But the stranger stroked lis sandy goatee, tmd explained that he had merel_v come in to give customary sixty days' no¬ tice and wonld bo m-ound with tho money, on the 4th of Octo ber. He added that it looked like raiu, and that a steady pour for a half a day would be a great blessing to the country. Tlio teller reached for his lu-onze paper weight, but be fore he could tire it the stranger had lit out."   \
"Speaking of financial utrin- Koucy," said another of the brokoi-8, "I.heard a unique il¬ lustration of it a fow days ago. A man entered a ])awiibroker's shop in tho Bowery, and laying down a twenty dollar bill asked if ho could be accommodated witll a dollar on it. Tho pawn¬ broker was an excelleni judge of money, and saw at once that the bill was genuine. So he turned and said to the stranger, shoving the hill toward him as he spoke, that ho was in no mood for nonsense. Bnt the stranger shoved the hill back, rejoined in earnest tones that he meant business; thathe couldn't get any conductor on a horse car to change the bill; that he had already bcon put off three cars; that his bo.ots were awful tight, and that unless he conld get a dollar on the hill ho would be compelled to walk to the Bat¬ tery. Well, the pawnbroker could not help but feel that the stranger meant what he said. So ho took up the twenty dollar bill, toyed with it a few minutes and then said to him: "Well, my friend I'd like to accomodate you, but owing to the financial stringency I can givo you only 7.i cents."
Baby's   Venomous    Cradle- Fellow.
Lake Charles, La., Aug -l.— The wifeof a lumberman named Williamson a few days ago had a novel and terrifying exper¬ ience witha rattle-snako. The Williamsons livenearheve in a small cabin on Lake Calcasieu. Mrs. WiHiamson liad left lier six months-old haby asleep in its cradle, near the open door, and was going about hei- house¬ hold business, when she hap¬ pened to approach the little bed to take a look at her child, and to her horror saw ;i line of mot¬ tled green and black nestled olose to the form of the peace¬ fully sleeping little one. The ugly head was raised vesting on the child's arm with its eyes keeping drowsy watch over  it.
Tlie mothev sank, nearly faint¬ ing, on the floor, but with a par¬ ent's bravery realized that the snake must be dislodged at any cost to herselt, as at the first or slightest movement ot tho babe the cruel fangs might be buried in its flesh. It was neccessary also to act with speed, so arming herself with a pistol belonging to her husbaud. she bent ovor the cradle, and with one rapid gestuielaid hold of the snako by the end of its tail and as sud¬ denly gave it a .jerk wliich laud¬ ed it the floor. The creature made at her v.iili uplifted head, .sounding its dieadful rattle as it coiled close to her feet. But. aiming steadily, she put a ball through its body, and although it again tried to attack hot- she. fired iigain and again. :ind suc¬ ceeded in killing it. As it died it flung itself upon her foot and struck tho shoe with its fangs, hut it was only tho death agony, and the blow served only to en¬ tangle it ill the tie of the" shoe, to which it was still clinging when her husbaud reached her. having heard the shots and ran to her assistance.
An Infamous Accusation.
The Cotton Plant siiys it sees no reason why it should with¬ draw its recent editorial insinua¬ tion that Judge Hudson is cor¬ rupt and has heen bought to decide against the dispensary with p.art of a fund of §250,000 raised by liquor dealers. The Columbia Rogi.stercaineoutand editoriallv informs tho piiblic that Col. "R. C. Watts, of Lau¬ rens, will probly move to Ches¬ terfield county, whore 'he has proportj', and will ho in posi¬ tion to succeed Jndge Hudson.
Here is reform with ,a von- geance. And it is a ttno object lesson to the hypocrites -who whine of the "abuse" bestowed upon Tillman ¦ and his special helpers by the opposition press. No leading opposition newspa- ner haa boon mean or reckless enough to accuse tho governor of corruption or to make any other charge against him with out giving facts to back it.
This accusation against Judge Hudson is tho most outrageous, the most infamous and thomost absolutely unfoundofl yot made against a public man in the State. Now let us seo how many of the roforiners who for ,laok of any other voaaoii claim to suppport Tillman because he h.is been --so iimcli abused"— ainl what a ])itiful whine that isl—will give voice or voto for clean, brave and able a man tis evor t;race<l theSouth Ciirolina liiiiic]i.—Qrccnville Daily Ax'«'.t.

Greenville, S C, Aug. 21.— A special to the News from Greenwood, S. C, says: Jake Davis, colored, to-day assaulted Mrs.William Mundy,a respecta¬ ble white woman of 55, living near Greenwood. After Davis had the woman bound and gag¬ ged he was driven away by a fierce yard dog. He was hunt, ed down and captured, fully identified, tied to a tree and shot to death hy a hundred citi. zens, white and black. The execution was performed with military precision and proprie¬ ty. Davis accepted his fate stoically. . This is his second crime of this kind, but as the woman assaulted on a previous occasion "was disreputable, he went unpunished.
The late issue of the Green¬ ville Mountainer contains a wail from Editor Hoyt, v;lio aspired to be one of tho city fathers ot that enterprising yity, but who was .defeated because he was not acceptable to the Wage Earner's League. In bis wail Editor Hoyt says he "was be¬ guiled into running for tilder- nian in his ward. He was a candidate for only a few days, but they were full of trouble and deceit. He was voted against because he did not bow down to tho wage earner's lea¬ gue." We thought fiom the fuss, some papers made about it, tho'Alliance was the only or¬ ganization in this State that ever mixed up in politics, but this Greenville incident has un-. deceived us.—Times and Demo ciat        ¦

In 1888, they renewed former pledges in these words: "It re¬ newed the pledge of its fidelity to Democratic faith aud reaf¬ firms the platform adopted by its Representatives in the Conven¬ tion of 1884."
The last utterance of the Na¬ tional Democracy was at Chi¬ cago in 1893. Their declarations were po.stive and uneuivocal. They said:
"Wo denounce tho Republi¬ can legislation known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a cow¬ ardly makeshift, fraught with possibilities of danger m the fu¬ ture, which should make all of its supporters, as well as its author, anxious for its speedy repeal. Wo hold to the use of both gold and silver as the stan dard money of tho country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and un¬ changeable value qr be adjusted through international agree¬ ment, or hy such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the party of the two metals, and the equal pow¬ er of overy dollar atall tinies in the markets and in the payment of debts; and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept par with and redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this poli¬ cy as especially necessary for the protection ol the fanners and laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and a fluctuat¬ ing currency."
Thus it will be seen that the Democrats are fully commit¬ ted to both metals.

A Little Slow but Solid.

It is pleasant to soe th.atSouth Carolinahasfour national banks on the "roll of honor" at the Treasury Department. Only such banks as have surlpus and undivided profits amountiug to moro than their capital stock aro placed on this roll. The big State of Georgia has but four banks ou it. No Southorn States have more aud only three or four of tho larger iVbrthern States excel littlo South Caro¬ lina in this respect. It is prob¬ able that this Stato has a larger proportion of her total nuniber of national banks on the roll than any Stato in the Union. We may be a littlo slow in some respects but wo are vory solid.

Judge Simonton's Dooision.
GUEENVILLE, S. C, Aug. 21.—
The decision of Judge Simonton in tho United States Circuit Court in tho habeas corpus caao of Langford was filed to-day. Langford is tho agont- of the Richmond & Danvillo at Pros¬ perity. He was arrested and hold under tho twenty-fifth see- tion of tho Dispensary liquor law for delivering to a consignoo a keg of whiakoy shipped from outsido of^he State.
Tho section referred to forhiila auy cpmmon cavviev to trana¬ port, or any agent to deliver anv package of liquor, which has not tho official certificate of Stato Dispenser that thoy are for uso of tho State Dispensary. Tho Uailroad Company clninnScl that this section waa contrary to tho interstate commorco lawa aud the fourteenth amondmonl to the constitution of tho United States. The Stato claimed th.al it was ill the exorcise of such polico power as bestowed by tho "Wilson law."
Judge Simonton's decision briefly synopsizod is as follows: Tho twenty-fifth section of the Dispensary act m.akes it a mis¬ demeanor for il railroad em- ployoo to dclivov intoxicating liquors from liis train, and thia without requiring any knowl¬ edge on his part that tlio pack- ago contains intoxicating li quovs, ov that it is intonded fov. sale. In every otlior instaiict! mentionod in this section, in¬ cluding priviito carriora, and railroads .and express compa¬ nies, knowledgo that tho intox. ioating liquor is intended for sale is expressly required. Tlii:! is discrimination against ono class of persona—railroati em- plo.yees—!vnd is in conllicl witli tho constitution of tbis .State, llld ao is not witliin police jiow- cr, and, therefore, not within ' tho provisions of tho not of Congress know aa tho -'Wilsoti act"
"This being tho ctiso, tlni clauso of section 2^i ot tho Dis- pensavy act, undor which tho pititionov was chargod anil arrosted, is void under tho in¬ terstate law and fourteouth amondment and ho must be dischargoii from custody."
Tho Stato will probably appeal to tlic United Statea Suproiuo Oourt.
The decision will causo tho discharge of several railroad agents in various parts of the Stato who have boen arrested as Langford wa.s. Tlm railroad peoplo claim that it virtually relieves them of all vestrictions in bringing liquor into tho State and delivering it.
Chasing A Sea Serpent.
Sta.iiford, Conn., Aug. 33.— A fleet ot pleasure boats left this harbor thia afternoon in pursuit of an alleged sea sor- pernt. Claronco Lockwood and Daniel Marshall, aboard the sloop Just Right, sighted > es¬ terday, Stamforn and Lloyd's Neck, what at first appeared to be a huge shark. A closer in¬ spection revealed a tail twenty- five feet in length, and they wero convinced that thoy had seen a sea serpent. Thoy des¬ cribe the animal as about sevoii- ty-five feet in length. Another sailing party entering tho har¬ bor last evening reported a aimi¬ lar story. Tho mon bvinging the information having good reputations for voracity, hunt¬ ing parties equipped themsolvos with harpoons and othor implo- ments of war and sot sail after the sea aerpent.
