Now that the Carnival is over may we venture to inquire who it was that hit Billy Patterson. Those members of the City Council who asked for a boer dispensary herc probably never reflected that th State Hoard was loaded. An exchange truly remarks: "Help a dog out of a ditch and no mutter what kimi of ;i dog he is- town dog. country d'?g; educated or illiterate, aristocratic or plebiun-he will wag his tail to paralyMS and exhaust ?". cry drop of blond in his veins .-it. your command. Help a mun <>ut of a ditch and what follows depends very much upon his breed. The mure; wc see ol' a great many men tho better we like dogs anyway. " Tlio very flattering call extended by thc Central Presbyterians to Hov. Hugh II. Murchison la^t Sum' / i-. a striking evidence of thc high esteem in which this very ablo divin?is held. It id also a most praiseworthy and ex traordinary evidence nf unanimity in the congregation that <>n the first, bul lot he should have received every vote cast, and that in the fuco ol' the ballot having been taken without nomina tions. The Church is to bc commend ed on its harmonious action and con gratulated on its wise solee:ion. - ? . ? - Friends and partisans of the several early birds who are outlooking for the Senatorial worm ure regaling their constituent.-) with au over liberal amount of rot considering the extremo distance their cherished idols are from the coveted worm. Tho day of numil men in South Carolina is happily nearing its close, so that no mau can bo said to curry thc State in his vest pocket any longer. Seuatorships no longer hung breathless upon the ca price of one mau, but are awarded by an awakened, thoughtful people. Fawning coal-tail swingers stand no better chance in thc public mind than disguised wolves masquerading in sheep's clothing. So that, taken all in all, it might be just as well to let the people rest on this all important election until some really available "Richmond makes his entry into this field. President McKinley has appointed Captain John Q. Capers to the office of United States District Attorney for South Carolina. The present Distriot Attorney is Abial Lathrop, who has been a leading Republican in thia State for years. It is reported that charges of some kind were preferred against Mr. Lathrop. His term will expiro in July. Mr. Capers is a Bon of Bishop Ellison Capers, of thia State, and a brother of Rev. W. T. Capers, who recently was pastor of the Episcopal Church here. Ho was born in this oity in 1866 and was cduoated at the late Coi. Patrick's Institute in Greenville and at thc Citadel Acade my, Charleston. Ile was School Com missioner of Greenville County for several years, and practiced law at Greenville aud Columbia. Prom thc latter place he was appointod by President Cleveland, about 6 years ago, to a position in the legal depart ment of the govcrntnent at Washing too, and has retained his position ever siuce. He. i s a gold Democrat and op posed Bryan's election. He mndo some stump speeches for McKinley in Weat Virginia and Maryland. His ? dary will be about $5,000. Th:s ap pointment looks very much like the beginning of the fulfillment nf a cur rent rumor that tho President would attempt to build up a party on new lines in the South by the appointment sf those who opposed Bryau to office, and thereby iguoriug both the "old linc" and "lily white" Republicans. Future developments will be watched with interest. It* there should ever bc a respectable Republican party in the South it cannot be built upon thc negro aa its foundation stone. Death of Another Good Citizen. Mr. T. J. Dalrymple died on tho afternoon of last Tuesday at his home in thia county, two and a half Uli lon of Townville. Thc summons came with no warning. Ile had been in en feebled health for a good many years, resulting from an affection of the heart and from a severe wouad rcoeiv ed in service during the Civil War. On the day of his death ho appeared to be as well as usual, indeed, rather better, and was out looking after the affairs of his farm. Toward the close of the day he returned to tho house, and complaining of fatigue lay down upon a lounge and expired without a groau or parting word, io the presence of his wife, who was attending him His hody was laid to rest in the Pres h terian cemetery at Townville be side his father, mother and brother on til?.'

When the South called her nous to anns in defence of her rights, he was among the very first to rcspsnd. On April 14, 18?1, he rendezvoused with his Company, commanded by Capt.

In IS71 Mr. Dalrymple removed from Laurens to Anderson County, where he sei t ed periuttucnlly near Townville, puruuing with marked suc cess the nuttiness ol' farming. His death leaves bul ene mem ber nf his' fathers family, Mr. ? Dorney I) Dalrymple, an estimable cnizeu living m ar Townville. His father, Jehu Dalrymple, although much past age, volunteered at the breaking nut of the war ?iud did valiant service in James Battalion and his only other brother, Julio ll.

Dr. George T. Brown. Gov. Candler, of Georgia, has ap pointed twelve leading physicians t( represent that Stale at thu approach ing session ia New York of the Anu ri can Congress of Tuberculosis, ami named Dr. George T. Brown, an ok Anderson County boy, as obairman ol tho delegation. This Congress hai been organized for the purpose of dis cussing tho cause aud euro of thu terrible disease, consumption, which many prominent physicians uow be li TV, is both a preventable and in i groat many instauoes a curable diieaso To bo chairman of the delegatioi named by the 'Governor is oertaiulj an honor worthily bestowed on oui good friend, tho Doctor, to whom wt extend our congratulations. A BKETCII. Recently' Dr. Baloy Hustcd Bell asBucicate editor of the Medico Lega Journal, of New York, published th' following sketch of Dr. Brown in hi paper, which wc know will be rcai with interest by tho Doctor's man; friends in this section: A mao's soul is "the main con cern " And thc universe were smal and mean without this ono symbol ol divinity. 1 am persuaded that, af te all, the soulful tiuts ot this life mus inevitably paint the final canvas. Am so, 1 am ever aware of the winged ze phvrs that the children of meii havi appropriated unto themselves; and j like tu watch tho undulations am. euriouu patterns swept over thu humm held? ut corn.

Dr Geo. Brown is a unique char acttr. He r? in iuds me of ether day s as I see them through the lenses u some uf our clever writer?.

A phyiioiau who ministers unto the si nuken poor without fee or price, a man who with ever opeo palm is ready to help those lesa fortunate than he - and a man whose pure heart and high resolve embraces the frailties and foibles of the weak-who lovingly for give? and like nature, forgets- /ho is ever building where smaller spirits would demolish, is unto the weary World as a loving prince of light. As sueh I apprehend the soul of Dr. George Brown. Sensation in Clunibia. COM'MIIIA, S. C., April Iii,-This afternof n ?it o'clock Captain -John .1 (!i?Hill, commercial agent ot thc Norfolk & Wchtoru railroad, wan shot to death in thc rooms of Major linr it a 11 i ii. Evans in this city. The ar rest of Major Evans subsequently cr? ated ? pronounced sensation. Tiie two were alone, and occupants ol'adjoining apartments were at din uer. Major Evans summoned a phy sician, saying that a mau was hurt in hi* rooms. Dr. lt W. Gibbes found Captain Griffin lying in a dying con dition and HpecchlcfHon Major Evans' bcd. A 41 calibre Colt's revolver bul let had entered just above tho left nipple. When l>r. dibber announced that Griffin was dying, he declared that Evans, who had been drinking heavily, became wildly excited and exclaimed that Dr. Gibbes lied, that Dr Gibbes and not he himself had killed Griffin. Tlie physician, under pretext nf rn I placing ?i broken instrument, managed to gel (tut (d' the room, ?ill' ough Evuus declared that he should not do so. I>r. Gibbes summoned police, and they wrerc refused admittance until Judge Ernest Gary, a cousin of Evans, arrived und demanded admittance and submission to the officers. Evan? struck Judge Gary and was takeu to jail in a state n( hysteria, having de clared that Griffin had takeu his own life. In the room were evidences of thc fact that on? or both of the men had been drinking. Aside from this there is no reason why Griffin should have killed himself or that Evana should have shot hilo. The dead man's face was bruised on .both sides and there was an abrasion of tho skin on the bridge of the nose. His walking cane, clotted with blood, was several feet from where blood marks indicated that the fatal shot had taken effect. Thc right foreavm of the dead man showed powder burns, but none were visiblo in the neighbor hood of tho wound. Capt. Griffin served in thc Confede rate army willi a company from Macon, Ga., and after the war entered the railroad service. Ile had held tho po lution nf general freight agent of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and subsequently went to the Norfolk & Western. Two years ago he was assigned to this territory. Major Evans is a son of Brigadier General N G. Evans, and a nephew of Major General Mart W. Gary of the lato Confederate army. ? He is a brother of former Gov. John Gary Evana, who was a Judge in Habana in 1898, and was himself in tho Habana postoffioe department at that time. Ho is well known in militia and polit ical circles, having twice received a large vote for railroad commissioner. COLUMBIA, April 14.-Tho coroner's jury this afternoon rendered a verdiot that to tho best of its belief tho death of Captain J. J. Griffin was caused by a gunshot wound inflicted at the hands of Major B. B. Evans. Tho news of tho tragedy excited intense interest over the State. There was startling evidence pro duced. Thc verdict of the coroner's jury has been generally accepted as proper. PARIAN PAINTS Unequaled Covering ! Unequaled Spreading ! Durable ! Handsomest Faints On the market !
