Koester, who has been appointed collector of internal revenue, announces that he desires the editor of the Record to be absolutely free and untrammeled in his utterances and he will no longer edit the paper. Mr. Paul M. Brice, a veteran newspaper man of Columbia, will edit the Record for the present. _ There is one good thing about President Roosevelt. Wenotieethat he has recently purchased a fine pair of horses to be used in the White House carriage, and he firmly refused to buy a horse that had his tail docked. He is not to follow the ridiculous style of docking the manes and tails of his horses, and we are pleased to note it. s Judsre Eve. over in Augusta, is apply ing the right sort of medicine to carriers of concealed weapons. He has announced his determination of attempting to break up the habit, and each fellow who comes before him, if convicted, and they usually are, gets a tine of fifty dollars. If some judge in South Carolina would adopt the same policy, the nuisance here would be greatly lessened. 1? Politics is certainly invading every department of the government. There are several judges to be elected at the coming session of the legislature, and candidates r, ? are announced just as if the position was a regular political one. That such a condition of affairs exists does not look well for South Carolina. If we are to have confidence in our courts, the judiciary should be kept clear of all semblance of politics. At least the position of judge should seek the man, and not the man the place. * ?^ ? Bro. Holmes paid his respects to us last week in a somewhat lengthy editorial, in concluding which he remarks that his "strongest point in proof of the benight/i In/ioo Af thn nnnrvlo in tlin COOtlAn \\']\PrP vauvoo v/i tuv ^;v,v|/iv tu vuv cwviv** ??uv?v Josh Ashley is boss is the alleged fact that they are followers of McLaurinism." The idea of making such a statement about the people of Anderson county on an "alleged" fact 1 We fear our contemporary is entirely too reckless for a man of his age. Not a "fact" but an "alleged ? fact!" Really The People editor ought to go off and take a rest. _______ The only attention that need be paid to Bro. Holmes's editorial is to remind him that a comparison of the number of office holders and politicians in Barnwell and Anderson proves nothing whatever in the way of the intelligence of the masses of the people of either county. Anderson's citizens have simply not offered for public positions. To be perfectly plain, Barnwell has to a great extent depended upon politics; Anderson has gone ahead in a business way, and the.ir many flourishing manufacturies and other industrial enterprises, as well as the general progressiveness of the county, shows conclusively that its citizens must be possess ed of average intelligence. Anderson's people have the reputation all over the State of being among the most progressive of any county in South Carolina, and while comparisons are odious, as our friend of The People says, we doubt not but that Barnwell county would make a poor showing compared with Anderson in the number of its schools, the attendance, libraries, the excellence of its school buildings, highways, public buildings, and all the important items which go to make up the intelligence and progressiveness of a people, But we must protest against the attempt of Bro. Holmes to shift the ground of this argument. We said that his statement that the people of Anderson county were "benighted" was not true and was a slander upon the people of that county. He also included the statement that Josh Ashley was boss in that section, and our protest covered this as well. In our article we stated that the people of Anderson were fully as intelligent as the people of Barnwell. Bro. Holmes attempts to prove that this is incorrect. If he will excuse us, that is not the point at issue. We want proof of his charge that the people of Anderson are "benighted" and that Josh Ashley is "boss." After this point is settled, we will cheerfully take up with him a comparison of the intelligence of the people of Anderson and Barnwell and bring forward our reasons for making the state ment that Anderson's citizens are as intelligent as those of Barnwell. Stick to the argument, Bro. Holmes, and bring forward the proof of your assertions.

Washington, D. C\, October '27.?President Roosevelt is up against another controversy over a Federal appointment in South Carolina. There is a big light for the official scalp of I'nited Stales Marshal Law so 11 1). Melton, whose term of office is not supposed to expire until some time next year. There have been frequent grumblings against Marshal Melton's administration of his office, w hich have culminated in indirect charges of inefficiency being lodged against him both at the White House and also at the depaitment of justice. So hot has the tight become ' that Marshal Melton has come to Washington to face his accusers and at the same time try and strengthen his grip on the new Administration. Melton says he does not believe his enemies can force him out before his term expires and he proposes to contest even* point that may be made against him.

An Old Scceder Church. In Fairfield county, S. C., is an old Seceder church, built of brick. A massive rock wall, granite blocks laid in cement, surrounds the church and graveyard. The church is popularly known as the "Old Brick Church," though its founders called it "Ebenezer." It sits on an eminence in a beautiful grove of oak and hickory a few hundred yards from Kincaid's bridge over Little river. The Confederates, when retiring before Sherman in his march through that part of the State, destroyed the bridge near the church, and Sherman's men tore up the flooring and sleepers of the church for material to rebuild the bridge. Of course the church was long ago repaired, but the following notice, written in pencil on a facing of the door, has been permitted to remain as marking a bright spot amid the horrors of war, and is plainly legible today: "Citizens of this Community: "Please excuse us for defacing your house of worship so much. It was absolutely necessary to effect a crossing over the creek, as the rebs destroyed the bridge. A Yankee." The historic church, whose cornerstone is as old as the American revolution, is the place where the "seceders" of the South, on May 9, 180:1, organized their synod (the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Synod of the South), the highest ecclesiastical body of that de??Anofni\ninl nf M'lll llulililiailuuf tiiv v/viitvuuiax v/x n iuv u n xti be celebrated in 1903, aud the event marked with a beautiful house of worship, the edifice to be erected at Columbia, S.

Memphis, Tenx, October 38.?A special from Meridian, Miss, reports the shooting of A. A.

The farmer and his daughter opened hre on the lawyer and he returned the fire. Crenshaw in thought to be fatally hurt, but the girl will recover. Foy escaped injury. It is very likely that in the course of a short time suit will be entered against the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company for violation of the anti-trust law. Of | course other combinations will then or j later be brought before the court if the attorney genera! is successful against the chemical company at which the law was previously aimed. The farmers especially are up in arms against this combination, and that was the prime reason for the legislature's action. The great difficulty about the whole matter is to prove that such business combinations are trusts from a legal standpoint. Even if it is so proven, the matter will drag along for years, probably, and no relief in the immediate future seems probable.? Columbia Record. Late Literary News.

Tin: Benneltsville correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution gives the following sketch of Mr. A. J. Matheson, of Blenheim, S. whose success as a farmer and countrv merchant has been quite notable: * Alexander James Matheson, of Blenheim, Marlboro county. South Carolina, is in many respects one of the most remarkable men in this State. He was born in this county in 1848, and his father Donald Matheson, was a native of Attadale, Scotland, but came to this country when a young man, and was a lawyer by profession. A. J. Matheson, 011 account of the war between the States, was deprived of a finished education, but is noted for his general information and lias 110 superior as a financier and busi nest; manager. Like many Southern boys, he returned from the war penniless, but brave, patriotic and determined. He at once entered upon his father's devastated farm, endeavoring to repair the damages wrought by Sherman's army, at the same time eke out a living for himself, father and sister. In ISM he accepted a position with a prominent planter in Marion county, in this State, as foreman of his farm. In 1870 he worked for the same gentleman, operating a three-horse farm, receiving a portion of the crop as compensation for his labor, doing the hardest kind of manual work himself. During the year 1870 he married a most estimable lady. Miss Ellen Jarnigan, of Marion county, and Mr. Matlieson admits that much of his success is due to her cooperation and wise counsel. They have had nine children, five daughters and four sons. In 1871 Mr. Matlieson rented a small farm and operated a limited mercantile business, which proved unsuccessful. He was discouraged, went West and visited many sections beyond the Mississippi river, but being unwilling to locate in that country, he returned home, with renewed energy and determination. He again entered the mercantile business and from the beginning was successful, mak iiij; uiwiiuy iii|nui\. in 1040 uu puii^iiaaed a twenty-five horse cotton plantation, among the finest lands in the Pee Dee section, going in debt for the most of the amount. He continued his mercantile business, amassing wealth with amazing rapidity, and year after year purchasing large plantations, his commercial rating all the time growing. Later on, Mr. Matheson moved to Blenheim, a small town seven miles south of Bennettsville, where he purchased property and continued the mercantile business, his trade extending many miles in every direction. He has reared a cultured and intelligent family, having given all of his children, who are old enough, a collegiate education to prepare them for the rugged battles of life. He is the largest real estate owner in Eastern Carolina, and his lands are fertile and valuable. Among his large plantations are "Brown's Creek," "Attadale," "London," "Arcadia," and "Egypt," besides many smaller places. He" operates two hundred plows and last year made on his individual farms about 1,609 bales of cotton. All of his plantations are provided with telephones, artesian wells, retail stores, modern barns and improved ginneries. He has a three-story brick mill house at Egypt on Crookeu creek, roller patent process, with a capacity of 50 barrels of liour daily. His wealth is estimated at $1,000,000. He is the largest taxpayer in this section of the State, employs more hands than any other one man in the State, is liberal, affable and optimistic, carries his own insurance and has not a dollar on his life or property. He has traveled extensively in Europe, having made several visits to his father's old homestead in Scotland. Lastvear he and his daughter visited the Paris Exnosi tion anil made an extended tour throughout the different countries of Europe. In 1878 Mr. Matheson purchased valuable real estate in the town of Benncttsvillc and erected a very large two-story brick store house on the tracks of the Atlanta Coast Line rail-road, in which he has since conducted a grocery business under the name of the "Marlboro Wholesale Grocery." TIiis enterprise succeeded from the beginning, owning its own warehouses, cotton sheds, seed scales, etc. Before Mr. Matheson established this wholesale business another firm was conducting, most successfully a smiliar business, but only two months ago the old firm sold out to the "Marlboro Wholesale Grocery" and the two businesses are now combined, supplying a large territory and employing quite a number of salesmen. In August of last year Mr. Matheson formed a copartnership with C. E. Exum in the wholesale business, and this year the business will sell three-quarters of a million dollars' worth of goods, and this rapid increase indicates that within the next year this enterprise will do a million dollars' worth of business. Mr. Exum is a cotton buyer of much experience. lie is a North Carolinian and a business man of extraordinary ability and sagacity. He purchases annually several thousand bales of cotton, and it is reported that Matheson & Exum will put in a cotton compress plant at this place to prepare cotton specifically for the export trade. Mr. Matheson is a member of the Presbyterian church and a great Sunday school lover. He never fails to contribute to all charitable purposes. He has a magnincent liome, a cultured ana accomplished family, himself a fine conversationalist, and there is no home in the Palmetto State where the "latch string" hangs out longer than at the Matheson homestead. She Got the Money. A poor couple living in the Emerald Isle went to the priest for marriage, and were met with a demand for the marriage fee. It was not forthcoming. Both the contracting parties were rich in love and in their prospects; but destitute of financial resources. The father was obdurate. "No money, no marriage." "Give me lave, your riverence," said the blushing bride, "to go and get the money." It was given, and she sped forth 011 the delicate mission of raising a marriage fee out of pure nothing. After a short interval she returned with the sum of money, and the ceremony was completed to the satisfaction of all. When the parting was taking place the newly made wife seemed a little uneasy. "Anything on your mind, Catherine?" said the father. "Well, your riverence, I would like to know if this marriage could not be spoiled now?" "Certainly not, Catherine. No man can put you asunder." "Could you not do it yourself, father? Could you not spoil the marriage?" "No. no, Catherine. You are past me now. I have nothing more to do with your marriage." "That aises me mind," said Catherine, "and God bless your riverencc. There's the ticket for your hat. I picked it up in the lobby and pawned it." "For three days and nights I suffered agony untold from an attack of cholera morbus brought on by eating encumbers," says M. E. Lowther, clerk of the district court, Centerville, Iowa. "I thought I should surely die, and tried a dozen different medicines hut all to 110 purpose. I sent Tor a bottle of ('hamlierlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrluea Remedy and three doses relieved me entirely." This remedy is for sale by Bamberg Pharmacy.

Willtamston, Oct 25.?Last night the office of the Williamston Oil and Fertilizer company was entered and the safe blown open by dynamite and robbed of its contents. Fortunately the cash had been deposited in the bank at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and there was but $53.94 in the safe. This amount was taken by the burglars as a reward for their daring deed. This morning as J. U. Duckworth, the bookkeeper, entered the office of the company he found the door open, and upon entering the building lie discovered that the safe had been blown to atoms. It was evidently the work of experts, as there was but one hole in the door, winch had been drilled just at the right place to blow the door to pieces with the explosion. A shop hammer, two chisels and a brace were found on the floor by the safe where they had been left by the burglars. The tools had been stolen from some shop nearby it is supposed, but they have not been identified as yet. Blood hounds are now being used, but up to this hour, 0 a. m., they have been unable to strike a trail and it is believed that the burglars left town in a buggy after accomplishing their purpose. A strange white tramp was seen about the oil mill yesterday and he is being hunted this morning. A Fiendish Attack. An attack was lately made on C. F.
