The1 universality of May con ventions ie what we will read about in the city and country pa pers for the next few days, for every county in the State had a May convention on last Monday. Well. Edgefield had hers too. It was, however, the smallest meeting of the kind ever held in Edgefield ; not that our people are loosing in terest in matters political, but be cause they are busy in their farms, more so, perhaps, than ever before at this season. Four clubs were not represented at all. The delegates to the Edgefield convention met in tho court house at ll o'clock A. M. and organized by electing Gov. J. C. Sheppard, president ; E. H. Folk, Secretary, and W. H. Scott, Assistant. The Hon T. H. Rainsford was duly and unanimously elected Coonty Chairman, to serve for two years. This is a tribute to Mr Rainsford's executive and admin istrative talent of which he is abundantly worthy. The fellowing delegates were elected to the State .Convention : Thos H Rainsford, A E Padgett, J H Tillman, M P Welle. B R Till man, P C Stevens, J G Mobley, J C . Sheppard. Leon J Willinms was elected Executive Committeeman. A resolution was passed that the State campaign meetings should be held as heretofore, also a reso lution endorsing Dr. Timmerman for State Treasurer for another term, After the County Convention ad journed, the County Executive Committee met to transact busi ness. Chairman T H Rainsford presiding. Capt N Gr Evans was elected ~ Secretary and Mayor W W Adams, Treasurer. The committee adopted a resb lutio:i requiring the Master m Equ/.fcy of the Court of Common Pleas, the county sub-supervisors and all magistrates to become candidates iu the general primary . for recommendation for appoint ment to the positions named. The old schedule of assessments on candidates was adopted. The Clerk of Court and Sheriff were assessed four dollars each as they did not have to pay anything in . the last election. Thb committee will meet early in June to arrange for the county campaign and to attend to other business. The resolution of the Executive Committee, so far as it applies to magistrates, will probably nit hold water, as it appears to be in violation of the State Constitution of the democratic party. Schoolhouse on Wheels. St. Louis, Mo., April 25.-A portable schoolhouse to relieve the overcrowded condition of several St. Louis Hchools is the odd innovation which the school board has established here. The build ing is of frame, contains one room, to accommodate nearly 100 pupils, and will be in the same yard with overtaxed pei manen t structure. When conditions change the annex will simply be moved to the point, where needed. This plan is considered and an im provement over the old method of renting rooms. Nine portab school houses are to put into operation. Gen Jubal Early has never been ranked as a great strategist, but it appears at last that he wai?. The New York Press man, who runs the "Personal" column of that paper, tells the story as be heard it from an ex-Ccnfedorate privater as follows: *4We came in close coutact with Gen Jubal Early and heard the old man fay he'd like mighty well to havo a drop of brandy. One of the boys spoke up and said: 'General, I have some right here; the best you ever tasted. He took a good, long pull nt it, too, e'/eryoDe of us watchiug him. After he smacked his? lips a few time be took another pull, if anything, longer than the first Then be loo Ired hard at the ow uer. of the canteen and said: 'What command dolyou belong to?' The man told him, 'Report to head quartors at once, sir, he orderd. The man disappeared in a jiffy, scared half to death, and Early kept the canteen. J BA?IST MINISTER SIT WH DEADLY Al. Rev. W. E. Johnson, of Bamberg:, Kills Wm. T. Bellinger BEFORE PARSONAGE DOOR Tbe Preacher and Father of De ceased Had Quarreled Pre vious Day-Said Bel lender Fired First. Bamberg. May 4. Rev. W. E. Johnson, a Baptist mmibter here, shot and killed Court Stenographer William T. Bellinger with .. a shotgun in the street today. The coroner's jory held the inquest this evening. The first and principal witness was Mr. Joe Brown. Ho testified that he went to Rev. Mr. Johnson's house this morningtosee h\m relative to some trouble Johnson had the previous day with the deceased's father, John R. Bellinger Esq; was told by Mr. Johnson that he had been badly treated by Mr. Bellinger ; did not advise him as to what course to take. They then went to the postoftice together. To the question of . Solicitor Townsend as to whether he got a pistol at the postoffice, he replied that he had. Did not. know to whom it belonged. "Was in my buggy when I saw Willie T. Bellinger crossing campus of fitting school and Mr. Johnson coming out of his house, opposite, having a shotgun. ' Mr. Bellinger drew his pistol apd fired at Mr. Johnson once before the latter fired." Thinks the second shot from Mr. Bellinger's pistol was simultaneous with the report of Mr. Johnson's shotgun. Mr. Bellinger fell imme diately, and witness thinks he was shot once after he fell. Upon being questioned, Mr. Brown replied that he provided himself with the pistol on accouut of trouble he expected at his place with a hand. Mr. Johnsou returned to his house after the trouble was over. Several more minor witnesses were examined. Dr. B. D. Bronson testified that upon being called to the place of the trouble Mr. Bellinger lived about 30 seconds or a minute lodger. ,lI knew he was mortally weunded ; found 20 wounds on hiB right side, 12 from buckshot, the remainder from smaller shot, penetrating the. right lung and liv* r." Col. Robert Aldrich, retained by the defendant, was present at the inquest. Tho verdict of the jury was that deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound at the hands of W. E. Johnson. Mr. Johnson has been pastor of the Baptist church for three years. The deceased is about 26 years old, and is the son of John R. Bel linger, Esq., attorney. The sympathies of the town are with both parties. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Bamberg, May 4.-One of the most sensational homicides in the history of Bamberg occurred here this morning at 10 o'clook when Rev. W. E. Johnson, pastor of the Baptist church, shot and almost instantly killed W. T. Bel 1 inger, a stenogapher of this judicial district. Trouble between the two began yesterday over the painting of a line fence between the premises of John R. Bellinger, father of the deceased, and the Baptist par sonage, at which time it is said hot words were passed and a pistol was drawn by Bellinger. This morning as young Bellinger THE ii-lST BABY. its Coming is Looted Forward to With Both Joy and Fear and itt Safe Arrival is Hailed With Pride and Delight by AIL The arrival of the first baby in the household is the happiest and most im portant event of married life. Theyoung wife who is to become a mother delights to think of the happiness in store for her when the little one shall nestle upon her breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp the sweec and holy name, "mother. Bother happy anticipation quickly van ishes when she realizes the terrible pain and suffering through which she must pass while bringing the little one into the world. An indescribable fear of the danger attendant noon the ordeal soon lissi pates her joyfulness. Thousands of women have learned by experience that there is absolutely no necessity for the sufferings which at tend child-birth; they know that by the use of "Mother's Friend"-a scien tific liniment-for a few weeks before the trying hour, expectant mothers can jo prepare themselves for the final hour that the pain and suffering of the treaded event are entirely obviated and !t is safely passed through with com paratively little discomfort. All women are interested, and es pecially expectant mothers who for the irst time have to und ergo this trial, in such a remedy ; for they know the pain ind suffering, to say nothing of thedan ?er, which is in store for them. "Moth er's Friend** is woman's greatest bles ?ing, for it takes her safely through the jeverest ordeal of her life.

After the shooting occured Mr. Johnson walked quietly into his house, unhurt, and remained there until about 1 o'clock when he went down to the jail and surrendered to Sheriff Hunter. As to how the affair started this morning and as to who shot first there is considerable diversity of opinion, but it id generally claimed that Mr. Bellinger shot first and that Mr. Johnson only shot once. Bellinger's pistol had four empty chambers and he probably shot four times, twice at least after he had fallen mortally wounded. Bellinger was struck in the right side by twelve buck and eight small ' sbot, which penetrated his lungs aud liver, causing almost instant death. The families connected with the unfortunate affair are two of the most prominent and influential in the town. BOTH KNOWN IN AIKEN. Aiken, May 4.--Rev. J. B Johnson, who figured in the shoot ing scrape ac Bamberg today, is an Aiken county boy. He has a brother here, J. Wesley johnHon, and was educated here.

Senator Tillman, of South Caro lina lectured here lust night under the auspices of the Good Govern ment League, his subject being "The Race Question in the South." The incident of the evening was his diatribe against the negroes Directly in front and alone ea?, a colored stupor, and the Senator looked at lum in making his re marks. "You scratch one of those col ored graduates under the skin," he said, "and you will find the savage. His education is like a coat of paint, like his skin." There were hisses from several par's of the house. Senator Till mau smiled and retorted : "You must excuse me for. my frankness. There is .nothing of hatred in my nature for the ne groes. When that man who hissed gets ready to give his daughter in marriage to a negro and proves by bis actions, and not by his hisses, that he means business, I will apologize, and not before." The applause which greeted this retort was tremendous, and there was no more hissing during the even mg.-New York Sun. I- v?

Start a broad tiro wagon to town durf?g a muddy spell over our miserable roads, and it take ten mulei? to pull it, and the [chances are that your wagon will slide into some gully before going a mile. I learn that the Broad "ire Wagon Trust had been spend ing big mouriv in our State, to work up influence in favor of that law, but they did not euccid. Sc far as Spartanburg. counly is concerned, our people don't want any broad tire law, and I am glad the bill was defeated.

The experimente of modern phy sicians and scientists have established tho fact that many of the germs of disease enter the body by the inhalation of air laden with bacteria or microbes. These germs are very small but their work is deadly. Still many of them are comparatively harmless in health ; but a* soon as an organ is diseased it is attacked. The exp?rimets of Koch and others have shed much light upon this important subject But up to the present time the culture of bacteria appears to have mer. with much better success than thei . destruction. As we can do so little to destroy these minute enemies, is not the most sensible course to strengthen and revitalize the system so that it may repel and resift their destructive in fluence, and does it not seem vt-ry I fit ting that the revitalizing element | should enter the body through inhalation of oxgen which is at] once a revitalizer and germicide?
