In response to the inquiry of the Abbeville Press and Banner we will state that the honorable gentleman who now occupies the position of Chief Justice is not a "politician" by any manner of means. * * * The neoroes in Georgetown and Beau fort counties in tliis State were completely shut out in the election Tuesday, for the first time since the war. Full Democratic tickets for county offices were elected in both counties. * * X* The trouble in Columbia last week between the students of the South Carolina College and Clemson is to be regretted, yet it is exceedingly fortunate that it did not materialize into a grayer situation. Let us hope that the matter is ended. * * * From the Barnwell Sentinel we learn that Attorney General Gunter has ap,V - pointed Mr. W. H. Townsend, of the Barnwell bar, as Assistant Attorney General. Mr. Townsend is a good lawyer, and will fill the position with credit and ability. ' * General Gunter has made a wise appointment. v Briefly stated the results of Tuesday's election in other States is that the Democrats held their own but failed to carry New York or Pennsylvania. The Democrats won in North Carolina. Republican majorities were greatly reduced in Republican States, and it is highly probable that the Democrats will have a larger number of congressmen in the next House. The Republicans now have a majority there of 45, and it is expected that this "will be reduced to 25 or less. It is stated in "Wednesday's papers that the Demo.crats only lacked ten of a majority in congress, with 15 doubtful districts to hear from. . | The Cotton Market.

Wellesley, Mass., Nov. 3.?The fact has become known that Miss Portia Washington, daughter of Booker T. Washington, who failed to pass her examination for the second year at Wellesley, is now a student at Bradford academy. The faculty of Wellesley refuse to discuss the matter beyond stating the fact that Miss Washington was not proficient in her music, but among the students the sentiments of race feeling were plentifully expressed. The Barnwell Association, Mt. Calvary church, with which the Barnwell Association met last week, i* situated in a prosperous community three miles north of Elko. Bro. J. I). Peacock has been the pastor of Mt. Calvary for twenty-six years consecutively, and should his good life continue for as many years more he will likely spend another twenty-six years in service of the church. His pastorate has been a fruitful one, and he likes to talk of the blessed experiences that have come to him and to the church during these years that they have labored together in the Lord. When his pastorate begun the church numbered only about thirty-five members, and they worshipped in a very inferior building. They soon erected a larger one, which has twice been enlarged. The building is painted white with green blinds, the aisles and platform are carpeted, there are comfortable pews and everything indicates a degree of attention to neatness and comfort not always met with. The membership has irmu'ii until tlm plmr.Mi ic linw nnp of flip b4 v " " M"VI4 V44V ^"UA VM .w largest of the thirty-eight that compose the Association, numbering 172, ami the salary of the pastor Las been increasing from time to time until it now amounts to $150 a year for one Sunday a mouth preaching. Bro. Peacock has been faithful and true, and has seen the sentiment of the community towards all denominational work completely revolutionized. His has been a long pastorate, one of the longest in the history of our country churches, and is another evidence that long pastorates are the ones from which the best results are to be expected. The Association convened Thursday at 12 o'clock, when the introductory sermon was preached by W. M.Jones, the Williston pastor. It was a thoughtful and practical discourse and constituted a titting introduction to the sessions of the body. The congregation tilled the house and Bro. Jones spoke with freedom and force. The body was organized with the election of Rev. A. Buist;, moderator; Rev. W. D. McMillan, clerk; J. A. Jenkins, treasurer. Since the last meeting the sainted W. D. Rice, for many years the moderator of the body, has passed away, and the Association was organized by the clerk, Bro. McMillan. Both the clerk and treasurer have served many years in their respective offices, and there seems to be no disposition whatever to make any changes at these points. After organizing the body adjourned for dinner, which was served on the grounds. The table was a long one, and a more sumptuous repast we "have not seen at any similar gathering. Hitherto it has been the rule at this Association to hold only one session a day and for the people to go to their homes for dinner. The innovation this year was opposed by some of the brethren* but the people were so well pleased with it that it is likely to become the rule hereafter. In the afternoon the report on the Old Preacher's board was read and the work discussed by the secretary and treasurer ? * i T-\... /^t n T> OI llie ooaru, ur. V/. V/. Druwu; auu mv Doctor made one of liis best speeches and set the cause before the congregation in its best light. Dr. Drown has given more than ten years to this work and has performed a blessed service for the old preachers and the Baptists of the State. A good collection was taken up. Following this discussion some miscellaneous business was attended to, and then Hon. S. G. Mayfield offered resolutions on the death of Dr. W. D. Rice. They were discussed by a number of brethren, and in respect to Dr. Rice's memory the body adjourned for the day. Friday a very large crowd assembled. The church building was crowded all day and quite as many people were in the yard as were in the house. The Orphanage came up as the first subject for discussion, and the reading of the report was followed with a speech by Superintendent A. T. Jamison. Barnwell Association is one of the good helpers of this good cause, and in addition to liberal cash contributions sends in during the fall and winter liberal supplies of syrup. At this meeting six barrels of syrup were promised by individuals and churches. Will other churches in the low country take note and do likewise ? State Missions came next. Pastor C. E. Burts, of Blackville, read the report and made a good short speech, touching on some of the important features of the work. Then Dr. Bailey took the floor and for an hour talked in the most interesting way of the great work his 100 missionaries are doing for the Lord and the Baptists in South Carolina. Of course a collection came at "he close of the discussion, and it was a good one. A sermon by Bro. Jamison closed the morning session. Long before it came this writer had surrendered his seat in A * - 1 ? ? ?? 4 ~ ~ AM/1 n/\ncnrinontlv 1X16 llOUSC IU U ucic^ati;, au.\i tuuoktjuLiivij he did not hear the discourse. But those who heard it said it was a good sermon, which we are inclined to accept as a correct report; as yet we have never heard of Bro. Jamison preaching any other kind. Along with several other visitors we had to leave the Association early in the afternoon. As we left the grounds Dr. R. W. Sanders was making a speech on Home Missions. That order was to be followed by the reading of the church letters, and on Satruday the other objects of denominational work were to be considered, with the missionary sermon to come on Sunday. The hospitality of the community was most abundant, and everything moved on most pleasantly from the beginning to the close of the meeting. Dr. Bailey and this scribe were met at the depot at Williston Wednesday night by Bro. W. A. B. Newsom and carried to his home three miles in the country, where we were delightfully entertained until we turned our steps toward the meeting place of the Colleton Associatiou. We shall not soon forget the many kindnesses shown us in this sweet Christian home. Missionary W. W. Lawton was at the meeting and was expected to make an address 011 mission work in China at some time during the sessson. He is looking well and expects to visit all the churches of the Association before he returns to his field of labor next year. The pastors present" as we now recall them, were: W. M. Jones, J. I). Moore, M. L. Lawson, C. E. Burts, W. I). McMillan, G. N. Askew, J. D. Peacock, A. Buist, R. L. Bass, R. W. Sanders, W. G. Britton and W. W. Glover, who lives in Georgia, fifty miles west of Augusta.

At 1 a. m. it is not possible to form a definite opinion concerning the outcome of the congressional election. Each of the party chairmen claims the house, as usual. The prospect is that the majority for one side or the other will be small, as we said yesterday; doubtless not more than 20. Even if this majority be Republi- ( cans it will be a loss for the dominant party, which in the present congress has : a majority of 43. Of the State elections only that in New i York has aroused very much interest, as I it was about the only one in doubt. At 1 this writing it looks like Odell's victory. Butthe Hill-Coler-Tammany combination has succeeded in greatly reducing the , Republican majority. This has been ac- i complished c hiefly by piling up for Coler ; a much larger vote iu Greater New York than was given Stanchfiekl two years ago. Whether this is due more to Hill's generalship or to the work of Tammany is a question. At any rate it is clear that the fusion vote which elected Mayor Low has disintegrated, and that New York city is now, as normally, Democratic. i In Pennsylvania the Democrats under ex-Governor Pattison have also reduced the Republican majorities, but Quay still controls the State, and will have a legislature to elect his man to succeed Penrose, also his man. In Ohio Tom Johnson has failed to wrest the State from the Republicans but this is hardly other than he expected. He will be found ready for a light again in 1904. The other States have not reported enough upon which to base comments at this hour.?The State, Wednesday, November ."). Killing Near Blackrille. Blackville, Nov. 4.?News has just ' reached here of a tragedy three miles above here last night at ten o'clock. Mr. Kline, of Kentucky, who has been around here for some months in the tombstone and memorial business, was shot and instantly killed by Mr. Ben McKerley and his brother. Mr. Kline w^s killed near the home of the McKerley's where he had just left. He was shot from his horse, receiving five loads. Nothing definite as to the cause of the shooting can be learned, but it is generally understood that the young men were justifiable in the shooting.

Gainesville, Ga., Oct. 31.?Captain , John H. Montgomery, president of the Pacolet Manufacturing company, fell a distance of sixteen feet in one of the new warehouses being erected in the Pacolet mill, No. 4, this morning, and sustained injuries from which he died to-night. His skull was broken and he sustained internal injuries. Dr. Downey of this city, Drs. Westmorland and Nicholson of Atlanta, and his family physician of Spartanburg, S. C., were immediately summoned, but 1 could not save his life. Captain Montgomery was perhaps the ' largest cotton manufacturer in the south. Besides being president of the Pacolet and Gainesville cotton mills, capitalized at $1,500,000, he was also president of the three Pacolet mills of South Carolina, and a stockholder and director in several more. His son, Y. H. Montgomery, of Spartan- ' burg, together with his brothers, arrived i here with his family this afternoon. The remains will be interred at Spartanburg Sunday. A Thanksgiving Dinner. Heavy eating is usually the first cause of indigestion. Repeated attacks inflame the mucous membranes lining the stomach, exposes the nerves of the stomach, producing a swelling after eating, heartburn, headache, sour risings and finally catarrh of the stomach. Kodol relieves the inflammation, protects the nerves and 1 cures the catarrh. Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia, all stomach troubles by cleansing and sweetening the glands of the stomach.

HOW SALT COOLS COFFEE. A. Little Experiment Worth the TryIur Oat ol Mere Curiosity. Between bites of the simple breakfast ho had ordered the young clerk gazed nervously at the restaurant clock. It was plain he had overslept himself and was paving the way to future indigestion by bolting his food. The coffee was the stumbling block. It was hot?very hot?but the clerk needed it badly, and he sipped it carefully, having due regard for lii3 mouth and tongue. But time pressed, and, with a parting glance at the clock, he reached for his glass of ice water and prepared to pour some of the frigid fluid into his cup. "Don't spoil your coffee, young man," said an elderly gentleman who was eating his breakfast on the other side of the table. "You take all the good out of it by putting ice or ice water in It." The clerk was at first Inclined to iresent the interference, but the patriarchal appearance of the other man tempered his resentment. "What am I to do?" he asked. "I am late for the office, and I want this coffee badly." "Let me show you a little scheme," said the elderly man. Taking the cylindrical saltcellar from the table, he wiped it carefully with a napkin, then, reaching over, deposited the glass vessel in the cup of coffee. "Salt, you know, has peculiar cooling properties," he said, meanwhile holding the receptacle firmly in position. "They put it with ice to intensify the cold when making ice cream. It is used extensively in cold storage warehouses for cooling purposes, and being incased in glass does not affect its power to any great extent" As he spoke he withdrew the saltcellar from the coffee and motioned to the younger man to drink. He raised the cup to his lips and, to his surprise, found the liquid cooled to such an extent that he could drink it without inconvenience. "The uses of salt are manifold," said the elderly man, with the air of one beginning a lecture. "I remember once when I was in Mexico"? But the clerk, with another glance at the clock, thanked him profusely and dashed out of the restaurant? New York Mail and Express. FRUIT8 AND FLOWERS. Land cannot be too rich or too mellow for fruits. Manure for the garden should be free from weed seeds. The head of a tree needs to be fairly open to admit sun and air for full growth of fruit The dahlias will never disappoint vou. Pink, white, yellow or crimson, tall, dwarf or cactus, It Is bound to flower. In the fall after the loaves have dropped Is generally the best time for taking cuttings from quinces, but they may be taken later. Heliotrope should not be mixed with other cut flowers in water. They decay quickly and have a harmful effect upon the other blossoms. Myosotis (forgetcnenot) needs partial shading, but not the shade of a tree. Plant among tailor flowers or around rosebushes, and it will do well. Plenty of yellow blossoms should be secured for places which lack sunshine. Yellow is good in almost every situation and is the cheeriest of tones. Good cultivation causes an abundance of fibrous roots to be made. The growth of any plant is largely measured by the number of its fibrous roots. Too Smart. He was one of those men who are constantly trying to beat down prices," said a bank cashier, "and had evidently been looking around for bargain prices for his bill of exchange. When he presented it to me and asked the rate, I replied, 'One-tenth of 1 per cent.' " 'Now, look here,' he said. 'You are too high. I have done business in this bank for ten years, and yet you charge me a higher rate than I can get from the Farmers' bank, over the way. They nrUl ilrt It fnr ono-plfrhth.

' AN UNQUIET SPIRIT. The Mynterlon* Litflit That For Yenrw Hnmitcd C?i?e Xolr. For many years on Cape Xoir, the western point of Maria, a strange light was seen, (lancing and moving about in the most unaccountable manner. At one moment it would rise like a column of lire into the air, and at another time it would fall like a meteor. Then it would seem to leap over the point and drop into the sea, afterward appearing again in the same spot on the hillside. The habitants tell this story about it: In the time of the war for the possession of Canada a French vessel, pursued by an English warship, steered its course into the bay at this point for refuge. A boat was lowered from the side of the richly laden merchantman, and in this thirteen men swiftly rowed to the shore. Their object was to secrete a chest of gold whfph thev had hromrht with them. On I reaching the point they drew lots to see which of the men should remain to guard the treasure. The one to whom the lot fell was forced to swear a solemn oath; by land and sea, by night and day, by the ruler of the nether world, that he would be faithful to the trust through life, unless relieved by his returning comrades, and even after death would haunt the spot should no one come to take his place, says a writer in the Era. To secure the fulfillment of this vow his wicked associates then and there put him to death and buried him with the treasure. The ghostly light was supposed to be the spirit of the murdered man, and many persons who, tempted by the hope of recovering the treasure, ventured into the haunted spot fled in terror and told blood curdling 6tories of the horrible phantoms and frightful sights which they I had witnessed. The light is seen no longer. Perhaps some adventurer bolder than the rest succeeded in discovering the gold, carried it off and thus gave rest to the unquiet spirit TO CURE CORNS. A Few Remedied, Cheap and Simple, and Involving Xo Danger, When the feet are pressed into tight fitting shoes?high heels make the pressure greater?by adding friction we have a needlelike point formed In the skin, and the greater the pressure the deeper the point will grow. The best preventive remedy known Is really to go barefooted, but since this Is not considered ethical In civilized life I will give a few simple remedies which may be of some value for the afflicted: First.?Place on the corn a piece of cold, moist linen folded several times, wrap it up In dry linen, then go to bed. With this treatment the bard epidermis swells up, and after six or eight hours the outer covering of the corn can be removed with a dull knife. When this treatment has been followed for three or four days, a small needle like growth (the corn) can be extracted without pain or bleeding. By washing the feet often in cold water the tender place will heal rapidly. After getting rid of this corn it is well to wear shoes which are neither too large nor too small so as to avoid excessive pressure or friction. Second.?In place of the linen a crust of bread soaked In vinegar may be applied. Third.?The best application Is to soak a .whole onion twenty-four hours in vinegar, then apply one of the layers of the onion to the corn and keep It In place by a bandage through the night After repeating this procedure a few times the corn can be removed without any trouble. By either of these simple applications this troublesome agent can be removed without any danger of blood poison and "free of charge."?St Louis Republic. Refractive Power of the Ruby. The primitive form' of the spinel ruby is like that of the diamond, eight sided, which distinguishes it at once from the oriental stone. The color of the genuine ruby is that of the arterial blood, or pigeon's blood, as it is called. It Is extremely hard and after the sapphire is the hardest of the corundums, which renders it difficult to understand why the earth so rarely gives it up. Its tint is as beautiful by artificial light as by day, and its powers of reflection are so great that ancient belief credited it with power of emitting light The ancients even supposed that it would shine through | clothing with undiminished power.
