It sayB: "Get out and rustle, 'Basins! Tho new generation owes you nothing but what you oarn-a useful caroor if you do ? well, and, if otherwise, a good, swift kick. It's nbt philanthropy, but it's business." WHAT tho United states and other re spectable powers should do is to get to-1 gether and shoot tho stufllng out of Turkey.

Tillman on Lynching. "Political equality for tho negro means social equality, and social equality means mongrolizatiou," was tho rather sensa tional climax of Senator Tillman's lec turo on tho raco problem in Augusta ono night last week. "On tho lynching ques tion I declared when Governor of South Carolina that if tho necessity arose I would take a hand in lynching a bruto for rape, and I have novor taken it back. When a nogro rapes a whito woman white mon aro bound to kill him, and what difforonco does it mako whether it is immediately iu tho hot blood of indig nation or tho cold blood of the law?" Ho pictured a young girl going through a long, lonely wood with a tiger crouch ing in tho junglo on ono sido of hor path way and a nogro rapist on tho other, and declared thr.t lt sho wero of his blood ho would a thousand times rathor sho fall prey to the tiger. Ile commented sharply upon election methods in Augusta and declared Augusta could not afford to coddle tho negro politically and make him tho balance of power to settle her elections. -----. ?----? A Remarkable Record. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a re markable record. It has been in uso for ovor thirty years, during which time many million bottles havo boon sold and used. It has long been tho standard and main roliauco in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yot during all this time no case has ever been reported to tho manufacturers in which it failed to elTcct a euro. When given as soon as tho child becomes hoarse or oven as soon as tho croupy cough appears, it will pre vent tho attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may bo givon as confidently to a baby as to an adult. Fo?- Bale by J. W. Boll, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Soncca. Young Pitts Acquitted.

Chairman Salon, of tho Democratic State Committoe intonds going after the colored voto, which, in Ohio, is no small factor. This voto has always boen awarded tho Democrats making little or no effort to capturo it, but Salon says that this year men will bo sent into every county of Obi?) in an effort to organize tho no groes into Democratic campaign clubs. Many arguments will be used to secure negro converts, but tho strongest will be that tho Republicans of Ohio always got their votes and novor give thom any office. During tho past, year theio has been much dissatisfaction among negroes in various pnrts of the Stato, notably in Greon county, whero tboy outnumber the whites in certain townships, and the Democrats proposo to take advant.igo of this. The many lynchings of nogrocs in States now having Bopublican adminis trations will bo used as s*,i <ng argument in bohalf of tho Johnso? ticket. Al roady sovoral prominent nogro workors have been engaged to aid in this new vote catching .scheme. Stomach Trouble. "I have been troubled with my stomach for tho past four years," says D. L.

It was a caso of work or got ont, and tho negroes got-they got to Atlanta, whore they hoped to lose themselves in the labyrinth of the slums. Ko many idle negroes must livo, and as they will not work tho question becomes serious. Atlanta will havo accomplished a wonder if it can solvo tho problem. In every villago thoro exists a fow loaf ers who aro content to take an occasional term in jail to conciliate just iee as ap plied in this form of law.

If the harvest is not so great lt la enoouragiug to the farmer to realise that he will get moro for bia produee than it has brought for many years, Fifty dollars for a bale of cotton looks Botnotbing like adequate compensation for ono"H labor. When we read of the destruction of colton by the boll weevil and army worm in the West and the injurious effects of drouth on all orops in other Bootlons of the country, we should fool that we are indeed fortunate. 8inco what ia known here as the "second Hood" we have not Buffered a day for rain and there has been none too much, besides we have been exempt from the hailstorms and cyclones which have devastated crops in some parts Of our oounty. Evorybody is busy picking cotton and pulling fodder. Fulton Hunnioutt, acting for tho oounty, has graded and made an excel lent road from the Keith residence to Little river bridge, on the Seneoa road, avoiding what is known as the Koith hill, which, in winter time, during wet weather, was often well nigh impassable. Further on the same road, near Cane oroek, somo splendid work has boon done by W. L. MoMahan. I have nevor seen it mentlonod, but it 1B a faot, that just after tho freshet in Juno tho skeleton of a human being waa found on tho Lowis place, on Koowee river, five miles above old Fiokons. Those who saw tho samo say tho bones woro well ouough preserved to indicate that they were of a person of unusual size. From appearances tho body had boon buried where fouud and uncart bcd by tho high water, but when and by whom is unknown. This place is near the site of old Fort Qcorgo, and perhaps those aro the remains of somo hugo Indian. This neighborhood received with deop sorrow nows of tho death of our former fellow ci i i /.en, T. Y. Hunuicutt. Ho was rearod boro in our midst and was a noblo, generous heai ted and promising young man and tho large concourse of mourn ing friends who attended his burial at NOW Hopo church bespoke tho high esteem in which ho was hold by all who know him. Our hearts throb with sin cerest sympathy for those so suddenly boroft of ono so near and dear. Tho burial of John R. Keith in Wal halla last week sadly reminds us of his death more than a year ago, in tho very bloom of young manhood in tho distant East, whither ho had gone asa volunteer in defense, of his country. Though not slain in actual battle, John R. Keith was as much a hero as if ho had fallen amid tho firo of musketry or facing tho can non's mouth. It is said that "It is swcot to die for OUO'B country." Many in Walhalla and Oconoo county remem ber John Koith as a bright, handsome youth, possessing many noblo qualities, who numborcd his friends by his ac quaintances. The announcement ol' another death in your last wcok's paper no doubt brought grief and sorrow to tho hearts of many of your readers When thoy heard "Dr. James A. Johus is dead." All who know him regarded him as a puro, good man, excellent physician, kind neighbor, Useful eil i/.en, and, if good doods and charitable acts make a Christian, surely ho was ono in tho truest sonso of tho word. How often aro wo rominded that "In the midst of lifo wo aro in death." Tho high and tho low, tho groat and the small, tho good and tho bad, the bond and the freo, tho old and tho young, tho rich and tho poor, tho pure and beauti ful, as well as tho vioious and wicked, "must all yield to that grim monster and pass through tho valley of the shadow of death." i c.
