[By a Former Walhalla Girl.] How beautiful the rolling, rumbliug, river; How musioal its murmuring, glad song; How steadily it flows on, as if ever Intent on duty, as it goes along. It leaps the precipice with mighty laughter. Whioh vibratos 'mong the mountain's highest peaks, And makes a lullaby for floree young eaglets That nestle midst tho rocks, blood on their boaks. It wends its way through silent, deop, dark forests, Lone valley, grassy pen and (lowery dell; Through sweet fern brako and daisy covered meadows, Fulfilling it? true mission through all well. It onward goes, through busy, dusty oltles, And turns their many massive wheels of trade, Until it mingles waters with tho ocean, A long and useful journoy having made. Oh! to bo Uko tho coasoloss, singing ri vor, Do well my mission, and bo evor strong ; And when life mingles with otornity's ocean, llave dono its every duty with a song. Murders In Bamberg. Another killing has stained tho record of this county in regard to the taking of human life, blaok RS it waa before. A peace officer in tho discharge of his duty has been shot down without warning and under circumstances which declares tho crime to be murder iu tho first de gree. We would not do the man in jail, who is to be tried for htfelife, an injustice, and when wo call his act murder we do so in no spirit of mal ice. He shows no remorse over his crime nor offers any excuse or justi fication for the deed. Ho acknowl edges the killing and says he would have killed anybody who came to his house to arrest him. He appears to realize the enormity of his crime and says that maybe it will cause ^ him to repent before he has to die, ^evidently having come to tho con ?o>?^that ho will bo hanged. - /-x..^. ''bnif. Ans newspaper is at per . y:ty to designate his crime as "* * "murcl?r^for the man who did the killing recognizes himself that it ?B auch. Whiskey caused the act. While the slayer was not drunk, his brain waa fired, to some extent at least, by whiskey, and waa the result of drunkenness and debauchery ex tending over a period of several years. There is-thero can be-no question of what a jury of twelve men, sworn to do their duty, will call this act. If we thought he would not have to pay tho full penalty of the law we would want to Icavo Bamberg county at once. But public sentiment is largely re sponsible for this condition. This man, ignorant aa he is, possibly thought he could kill a man and go free, as others had. In tho three years that wo have been hero no less than nine killiugs havo occurred in this county, some under circum stances about ns bad as this, but the slayers have not been hanged. Why ? Let each one answer tho question for himself. Thero has been too much sympathy for tho living man and too little regard for law and order. 'Tis true this condition of affairs prevails in overy section of South Carolina, but if wo aro ever to rofprm things we must begin at homo. Lot us sweep beforo our own doors first. Tho remedy is plain and it must be applied. If Bamberg county jurors do not convict mon of murder wo aro going to havo a reign of mob law, and God knows no one will regret it moro than the writer. But we know the temper of our people. Never h*"o we seen our most substantial and law abiding people more stirred. Their indigna tion is now ox pressed in words, but action will come next. Lot those who havo the enforcement of the law in hand be warned in time, for the signs are so plain that he who runs may read. When cool, deliber ate men take tho law into their own hands there is serious times ahead, and God grant wo nifty nover see such a condition in Bamberg county. Let us all do our duty as men and oitizens, whether on jurors or not, and remove the shame from our county and its people.-Bamberg Herald. ???? THREE PAPERS A WEEK FOR $1.50.

Some years ago it waa said of the Alston family of this State that tbey were famous for dying in their boots. Till m ans, of Edgefield, have a rec ord in this respect. William Till man, the oldest brother of Senator Tillman, was killed in battle in Mexico. Oliver Tillman, another brother, was Bhot to death by An drew Neel, in Florida, while eating dinner at a hotel. Keel esoapod from jail, wont to Mississippi ; was a Trial Justioe there in 1871, and was finally killed in his yard by a young man who was courting his daughter. John Tillman, another of the Till man brothers, was shot by George Mays, a kinsman and neighbor, while driving along the road in tho piney woods near the homes of both men. This tragedy occurred before the war. John Tillman lived several days and died in great agony. He was a handsome and a brilliant man, but reckless in oonduot. -Geo. D. Tillman, the late Congressman and eminent statesman, stood on the streets of Edgefield, unarmed, when a young man approached and opened his bosom in bold defiance of Gun. Weaver, who fired ou him until a friend banded him a pistol. Nei ther man was hurt. Some time after that this Geo. D. Tillman killed a man by the name of Christian, at Edgefield. This was a most unfor tunate affair and ono whioh weighed heavily on Mr. Tillman throughout his long life. Now tho last act in the bloody drama is the killing of Editor N. G. Gonzales by James H. Tillman, eld est son of the late Georgo D. Till man, on the streets of Columbia last Thursday. This final tragedy is not in keeping with tho record of the Tillman family if tho published statements of the shooting of Mr. Gonzales be true. Gonzales was unarmed and had slightly changed tho direction of his course to avoid coming in too close contact with Tillman, when, without a word of warning, a pistol was thrust at him and a ball sent through his body. And then again was tho murderous weapon presented to repeat its deadly work, when Gonzales cried, "Shoot again, you coward." In the presence of a defenseless, but bravo man, already shot to death, Tillman lowered his pistol and walked away. However great the wrong or deep and cutting the injury that may have been done Mr. Tillman by Editor Gonzales, where is there a man in the light of civilization who can do aught but condemn such an aot? A cold deed that takes from tho world, family and frieuds tho lifo of an unarmed and a defenseless man without notice that his lifo is about to be taken, to avengo a wrong, blood is shed, innocent peoplo are irreparably injured, the namo of the State held up to tho sevoro oriticism of the country and the life of the slayer ruined. This is tho result of the dire calamity which has befallen tho people of this State.-' 'reenwood News and Views. OA.STOXIXA. Bears the \J4lhe Kind You ,,ave AIvva)s Bought -or .*..>--; A French explorer has discovered in Siam a new species of ants. They aro gray in color, but the most inter esting thing about them is tho man ner in which they move from place to place. They go in a body, as other ants do, but seem to have a commanding officer, who directB their movements "on horseback," so to speak. The explorer noticed, here and there in the column, an ant much larger than tho others, whose movements were also swifter, and on its back was one of the ordinary size, which seemed to bo in com mand of the detachment. This ant would ride to tho head of the col umn on its "horso," and then back to the rear, precisely as if it were ordering tho lino of march. Mental Strain Affected Gen eral Health. Doctor's Doses Weak ened Stomach. Dr. Miles' Nervine Cured Me. Dr. Mile?' Restorative Nervine brings rest and sweet sleep to the tired brain worn out with the cares and anxiet s of the sick room. Read the following: "I have always been healthy with the ex ception of a touch of rheumatism since my a^e came on, up to the time of my husband s last illness some years ago. I assisted in nursing my husband for nearly three months when ne departed this life and the mental strain I think caused my trouble. Aside fi om extreme nervousness my trouble com menced with sore throat and neuralgia. My physician gave me purgative doses which weakened me very much and my stomach for a time seemed inactive. Mental strain and the dormant condition of my stomach soon told upon my general health. I had little appetite and was soon forced to stay in bcd a greater part of the time. Within a week after the time I began taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Tonic I was up about the house. I continued their use until completely cured. My faith in Dr. Milts' Remedies has been strengthened by experience of other people, our daughter hav ing used Restorative Nervine with splendid results in a case of paralysis and a friend to whom I sent a box of the Anti-Pain Pills re ports that she has been completely cured of neuralgia by their use.

The one natural and safe door for | the Inexperienced is to make poultry keeping a side issue until they learn .'what is what" and thus stand a reasonable chance of avoiding the pitfalls. Ou the city lot and the villa/;e acre fanoy poultry-keeping] ca .-e started on a small scale, or a few hens can be kept for eggs and ' the production of select table morsels, j A ben is a hen the world around, and once her habits have been learned, | a long stride has been taken toward mastering the poultry business. As for the farmer, what is more natural than that be should develop poultry keeping as a side issue and follow it to his heart's content? His wife, his son, or his daughter will take to it as naturally as a duok to water. They have at hand practically e.cry facility, in one form or another. Tho farmer, of ali others, is in a posi tion to make money out of poultry. Ile should make poultry-keeping an important part of his regular work, for well-kept fowls will pay bim a larger return on his money than any other farm product, bar none. Mak ing poultry keeping an important adjunot to farm work, should receive the best attention of the friends of licit cr poultry in every country on the globe where poultry is grown for market. All branches of the busi ness are open to the average farmor. In the United States hundreds of in telligent fa^-ners aro not only poul t ry men, but fanoicrs ; these are men who appreciate "beauty" as well as I "utility" in domestic animals and fowl, and are governed accordingly. Notable examples exist among Amer ica's foremost fanciers of men who began as farmers, making poultry a side issue, but now devote more timo to, and make moro money out of standard-bred fowls than they do out of farming. These were men with a lovo for the business and with suflioient capacity to equil or excel their various competitors in the same lino of effort ; and so it is iu every line of human enterprise.

New York, February 14.-Senator Till man, of South Carolina, spoke to-night at th? banquet of the New York Frees Club. He said in part: "I eannot understand why I cbould have been the only representative of the august body of which I am a member. Now I have no message which I have como to deliver to you. In my experi ence I have found that the bettor ac quainted the gentlemen of the press be come with rae the better they like me. But I ask no favors of you. leonie from a State where the peoi lo do. their own thinking and their own voting. "1 think this Ls an occasion on which I ought to get even with the press. You have 805 days in the year lu which to make and unmake public men, but you don't mako and unmake them io the Stato of South Carolina." Referring to the negro question, he said that President Roosevelt had raised a subject that will not easily down, lt had brought forth a number of oom mon ts from prominent men of the North and had raised a storm In the South. After mentioning a number of the comments and the men who said them he said : "You bave had this subject Roose velted, Hannaed, Irelanded and finally S mooted, and now lt seemed to me it is about time that we bad some one who kuoWB something about it, say some thing. What are my qualifications ?" HU PK nfl ON AX. HISTOKY. First, he said, he had been nursed by a negro mammy. Then, although he had not served in tue Confederate array, be I bad tried to join it, and had been pre vented only by an accident that de Erived him of his eye. Lastly he had een upon the ground and Been the ravages of the war. "I Know something of wbat this race question has cost this country. Many of you who write so flippantly about it, know nothing about it," he continued, "and if you write about so gravo a sub ject when you know nothiug of it, you are no less than criminals. "Mr. Roosevelt was very wise in say ing it will take the best thought of both sections of this country to solve tho problem,?' After an impassioned recital of tho perils to the white population of the South, threatened by the increase of the power of the negroes in tho past few years, be said: "We were compelled by the exigencies of tho situation to use tho shotgun and the tissue ballots, and we used both. Why? BeoauBe in the State of South Carolina there were 80,000 more nogro voters than there were white voters." ile said that they In South Carolina bad established their free schools and that evor since there have been moro negro children in those free schools than white children. "Do you think it was our purpose to raiso these negro children to a conditiou of enlightenmenMn order that they may govern us?" he asked. "By the Holy God no I" he cried. "Three months ago," he continued, "the President wroto a letter io which, he said that when a negro sbownd himself qualified to fill public offioe he was un willing to shut the door of hope in his face." Commenting on this Senator Tillman said that if the present condition of edu cation continued and the negro is to gain control of the State of South Carolina and the white becomes subordinate, the deplorable result, would be that in a hun dred years, the population would be half mulatto. Ho had no practical solution of the problem, he said, unless it bo that tbo North take its share of the blaoks, "If you lovo them BO well." o nows IMPASSION Kl). His address grew more impassioned as he contiuuod. At ?rst only applause greeted bis utterances, but toward the eud an occasional bisa was hoard, aud finally he was interrupted by a voice ory ing, "What about your nophow?" Senator Tillmau was at tho moment dofouding the summary measure adopted in the South for the punishment of ne groes guilty of crime, especially against women. After tho excitement caused by the interruption had subsided Mr. Till man naid there was muoh more ho could say aud would like to say, but that he rogarded it as highly inappropriate to rofor in public, to family affairs. Bofore concluding his address ho took occasion to assert that if the policy of raisiug the negro into power in the South is carried too far, tho result will be bloodshed and its How will bo upon the beads of those who have tried to foroe the white population in to subjection to the blaok. This was not a threat, he said, but simply a statement of what he knew from his acquaintance with the ooudi t ions in the South would be the iuevita blo i.-suit.

It always holds its own. It oalls for just as many dollars when grain is cheap as when grain is dear. It is not drowned out ny the heavy rains. It never winter kills. Late springs and early frosts never trouble it. Potato bugs do not dis turb it. It grows nights, Sundays, rainy days and even holidays. It brings a sure orop every year and sometimes twiuo a year. It produces cash every time. It does not have to watt for the market to advance. It is. not Bubjeot to sp?culations of I the bulls and bears on the board of I trade. It is a load that galls and frets and cbafea. It is a burden that the farmer can not Bhake off. It is with bim morn ing, noon and night. It eats with bim at tho table. It gets under his pillow when he sleeps. It rides upon his shoulders during the day. It I consumes his grain orop. It devours his cattle. It seleots the finest horses and tho fattest steers.

It shares the children's bread and robs thom of thoir olothes. It ?toops the toiler's back with its remorseless burden of oare.

He has bad some experience in constructing macadamized roads and placed tho cost at $'2,260 per mile. I also saw Mr. C. A. Spratt, who has considerable knowledge of roads and he fixed the average cost at $2,850. Afterwards I met Capt. S. J. Stowe, who is now in charge of the roads. He placed the cost at $8,600 per milo. Tho cost depends upon the amount of grading neces sary. Mr. Stowe's estimate was taken from a rugged section of the county, so you might safely place the average of the 120 miles of mac adam in Mecklenburg county at about $2,900 per mile."
