We are going to swear out a search

to get.
The Republican party ls being ar

The formal trial will be held next
November. The best thing the G. O.

It is now claimed that there are
millions of germs in cracked dishes.
Gee whiz! What a writhing, wrig
gling, squirming mass of bacilli must
infest that big pile of broken reso
lutions.
. . . ? .
Thank God. history does not al
ways repeat Itself. Mr. Taft has de
clined to visit Georgia during the
campaign, hut assures the people of
that State that the Republican party
will send Sherman!

The Item of "breakage" for three
months lu the dispensaries of this
State amounts to $1,318.07. We
don't know, of course, hut we are
prone to believe that in reality, if
the whole truth were known, that
$1,IHS.07 covers ns much "drlnkase"
as it does breakage."

Last week Mrs. Beveridge, wife of
the Indiana Senator, presented her
husband with a little Beveridge. She
may not he amenable to any law,
but we doubt if she would even put
up the defense of handling soft
drinks.

Last Friday. Saturday and Sunday
one ol' the largest gatherings of col
ored people Walhalla has ever wit
nessed assembled here to attend a
Baptist association meeting. During
the three days there was perfect or
der, save for one arrest made for dis
orderly conduct and two for handling
liquor. These Instances occurred
outside the assemblage. The office rs
of the convention and the gathering
as a whole deserve the congratulation
of their white friends on this occa
sion. Then* were from 1,000 to
1,200 colored people gathered to
gether and the conduct was admira
ble. They set an example thai
the negroes of other sections nias
well follow.
* * . . ?
This sort
of thing
is said
. to have
been al
most abandon
ed in getting
votes in South Caro
lina. It speaks well for
the citizenship of the
State, and though there
are still traces of lt here
and there, the fact that
the sentiment against li
quor and its use in elec
tions ls fast gaining
ground day by day is
must apparent. lt is to
lie hoped that the day is
not far distant when the
bottle and the bottle
toter will take their pro
per places and he forever
relegated so far to thc
rear t hat t hey will never
lie seen or heard of.
The clearing of i'm polit
leal atmosphere in this
State is the inst cause
for great rejoicing on
ever j hand. Keep it up!

li will be a mat 1er of no little in
terest to the people of this section
thal the dilled stales government
has refused lo pay for horses shot
while revenue ofllcers are discharg
ing unpleasant duties. Recentl) n
horse hired from I lie stables of
Houchlns iv:- King, of Walhalla, hy
Revenue Offieor R. Q. Merrick was
shot from under him while on a raid.
Claim was made on the governmenl
for tho \aliie of tl??? horse ($200),
nnd the claim was (urned down by
Comptroller Tra.-ewell. This leaves
Mr. Merrick $200 out of pocket be
cause he attempted to do lils duty.
"Tho government," remarked Comi>
, roller Tracewell, In turning down
the claim, "is not iii the Insurance
business," which is all very true; but
it strikes us as being simple Justice
thal when an officer loses his horse
While discharging his hazardous du
li.': in the revenue service, tho gov
i rnmenl should hear the loss, or else
provide tho horses for the ellice rs,
which nmounts to thc same thing, lt
ifl probable, however, a hill will bc
passed at the next session of Con
tri reimbursing Mr. Merrick (or
t he amount ho had to pay.

HON. JOHN CURTIS CART DEAD.
Passed. Away in Greenville l^nst Sun?
?lay Night.
Greenville, Aug. 2'.\.-John C.
Cary, aged 62, ono of the most prom
inent business men of South Caro
lina, passed away last night at 10.30.
Mr. Cary was a man who has done
much for the manufacturing industry
in this State. At one time be was
president of the Lockhart Cotton
Mills of Union. At the time of his
death he was president of the Green
ville Interurban Railroad.
Mr. Cary was a brother of the Hon.
J. P. Carey, member of the House of
Repr?sent?t ives.
The following sketch of Mr. Cary's
life appears in "Men of the Time,"
published in 1002:
"John Curtis Cary, president of
the Lockhart Cotton Mill, was born
In what ls now Oconee county, near
the site of Old Picketts Court House,
on July 10, 1848. John C. Cary was
roared on a farm in Oconee county
and was prepared for college in the
Thal ian Academy, taught by Rev. J.
L. Kennedy, a distinguished educator
of that time. He served six months
in the Confederate army In the lat
ter part of 1804, holding the rank of
second lieutenant of Company 1, l-Mrst
regiment of South Carolina militia.
He served with the same command
until the close of the war. then re
entered the Thallan Academy, where
he remained until August, 1800. Our.
ing the year 1807, he was a student
under Prof. W. J. Ligon, of Ander
son. In 1869 he accepted a position
with a corps of engineers surveying
the line of the niue Ridge Railroad.
This occupied his attention until
1S72. when he entered the employ of
a railroad concern, as book-keeper
and paymaster, which position he
held for a year. In the spring of
1 873, he was employed by the Sa
vannah &. Memphis in the engineer
ing department, but the money panic
of that year compelled a suspension
of work. In 1X7 1 he bellied to sur
vey the railroad from Greenville to
Asheville, N. C. In 1876 he was
made the agent for .McFadden &,
Bros.. of Philadelphia, Pa., and Liv- 1
erpool, Kngland. He was the agent
of South Carolina and Northeastern
Georgia for more than fifteen years.
in 1 893 he sold one of his water
powers to Charleston capitalists and
engaged with them to superintend
the erection of a cotton mill thereon,
which was completed early in ISM.
In March. 1894. he commenced nego
tiations with the president and direc
tor of Lockhart, a company organ
ize;! for the purpose of buying ihis
property on Broad river, in Tulon
county, and erecting thereon a cot
ton mill. The mill was completed In
ls!i.~, al a cost of over $500,000. In
November, ls'.t.'i, he was elected pres.
Idem and treasurer, and bas held
thal position ever since. In 1899 he
organized ihe Lockhart Railroad
Company and was elected president
and t reasi. rer of the same, and bad
lt in running operation by .lune,
1 900."
Capt. Cary is survived by his wife,
who was a Miss Livingston, Of Sen
eca, and one son. Whittier Cary. He
was a devoted member of the Second
Presbyterian church, and his death
is a sad blow to that church.
Excellent Health Advice.
Mrs. M. M. Davison, of No. 279
Gifford avenue, San .lose. Cal., says:
"The worth of Fleet ric Hitters as a
general family remedy for headache,
biliousness and torpor of the liver
and bowels ls so pronounced that I
am prompted to say a word in Its
favor for thc benefit of those seeking
relief from such alllb iions. There ls

any other remedy I know of." Sold

SOUTHERN TRAIN WRECKED.
Holt Placed on Track Derails South
western Limited?
Atlanta, Ga.. August 23.-Train
No. 38 on the Southern Railway,
known ns the Southwestern limited
train, which left Atlarwa shortly after
noon to-day, was wrecked four miles
north of Suwanee, Ga., about three
o'clock this afternoon.
The colored fireman, Mason Wat
kins, was killed instantly, and the
engineer, B. F. Dewberry, of Atlanta,
was badly scalded, both being pinned
underneath the engine after it left
the track and turned over. Engineer
Dewberry died later. The ninil car,
baggage car and combination car also
left the track and turned over, roll
ing down a fifteen-foot embankment.
The mail car escaped with minor
bruises. None of the passengers were
Injured.
Just previous to the train's coming
three small boys were Bcoii running
away from the scene. An investiga
tion after the wreck developed the
fact that a bolt had been placed upon
the track and the (light of the boys
led to the belief thai they may have
in a spirit of mischief placed the bolt
in such a position as to cause the
train to jump the track. The sheriff
and railroad officers are now at work
on the case.
Granulated Sore Eyes Cured.
For twenty years I suffered from a
bad case of granulated sore eyes,
says Martin Boyd, of Henrietta, Ky.
"In February, 1903, a gentleman
asked me io try Chamberlain's Salve.
I bought one box and used about,
two-thirds of it and my eyes have not
given me any trouble since." This
salve ls for sale by J. W. Bell, Wal
halla; W. J. Limey, Seneca.
'arnier Rilled by Lightning.
?saluda, Aug. 22.-During a rain
storm late yesterday afternoon, which
was accompanied by much lightning,
s. ii. Quartes, a well-to-do farmer
