HOLIIES, Edllir 1 Prop'r. %< w LAMEST COUNTY CIRCULATION. . > ..t ■ "■ THURSDAY, JUNK 8, ISOfc?. ii k rests In ritXeR.— Governor Wll^Um H. EllerM died at. Seller*, Marlon county, on Friday, at 8.20 pm, la tlio *anie room In wblcli bU father and mother had breathed their la*t. He had been It) 111 health for many month* and was pitifully emaciated, almost a skeleton, but he bore his sufferings bravely, maklflj a sturdy light for life and surrendering only when hope bad ended. Three years ago, when Capt. ElloTbe teas a candidate for the Governorship, we spent several days In company with a 'Marlon' farmsr, who spoke most, touchingly of the good qualities of Capt Kllerbe as a citizen and neighbor, and the sorrowful apprehension of the community that hit health was not suf ficiently robust for the labors and wor ries and perplexities sure to follow his election, and that he would never again take up the life In which he had achieved success and won the undivi ded love and coutldeneeof the people who had known him from childhood and understood the goodness of hi* heart and the exalted purity of bis character. The prophecy has c^jne true, and the cypress overshadows the laurel in the darkened home from which the central spirit has been taken. And ye.t be murmured not at tbe sacrifice, for in his last hours be half the comfort of the knowledge that tbe people of the State svete once again forgetting the differ- cucfss of the past, und the confident conviction that Ills aduilnUtrattob had been blessed in ita healing influences. He was burled beside bis father’s grave, a large concourse milted iu pay ing the last tribute. | Delicate health prevented his com- ydetton of s collegiate education and he engaged lu farming and mercantile pursuits with msrked energy and suc- »:es», adding largely to tho estate left him by hi* father. s |u 1690 be was elected Comptroller General and serving two terms. He sits a candidate for Governor lu 1691 hut was defeated by Senator Jubo Gary Evans. In 18% the people reversed (heir verdict by electing him by the largest majority ever given a candidate for a State otflee. he receiving 70.000 votes to 17,COO cast for the opi*o*1ng candidates, lie was then 34 years of age, the youngest Governor Soutti Car olina eye t had. In l:>96 he was reelect ed. GOVERNOR McSWEENEY. At 11.10 o’clock on Saturday night Lleuteuant Governor M. R McSweeney took the oath of office a* Governor of tfoutj Carolina la the parlor of Wright’s Hotel, Columbia, belore Chief Justice Hcury Melver. Governor McSweeney is a self made mil consequently a well made msn. He was born In Charle*ton, was left an orphan at tbe age of 4 years by tbe death of his father, at 10 years of age he begsu clerking In a book store, at tending a night school, afterward learning the printing business practl- i caily and becoming au expert in tbe art preservative. He established tbe Ninety Six Guar- disii, making it * success from the tlrst issue and, upon the creation of Hamp ton County, moved to qur neighbor town and grew up with—beyond It. He has been the moM successful news paper man of this generation In South Carolina. He is In-touch with aflairs having filled many positions and all with credit to himself. Hr served for five terms as Intendanl of Hampton and then declined reelecUou.w aB Coun ty Chairman for ten years, a member of the House of Representatives and al ao of tbe Constitutional Convention, and was twice honored by election as a delegate to tbe Democratic National Conventions, voting in 1888 for Cleve land and Thurman and for Bryan and bewail In 189ii. Gov. McSweeney was married July 12tb, 1886, to Miss Mattie Miles I’or-' cher, a very Planning lady, and tbe Executive Mansion will be occupied by a most interesting family. Brethren Elgon and Washburn of the Journal and Review thus describe the girls of Aiken:—— Oh 1' here’s a fact that don’t seem right. It really I* a Pl^.vi The pretty girls krehever bright, And bright ones never pretty. i T Admiral Dewey has speedily recov ered his health, and MurgroS-J’Age’s account is confirmed. But the Admi ral may perhaps have to go bapk tothc rhilippincs, as the bubonic plague is so Wide spread In the East that the Mediterranean is quarantined against all vessels coming up tbe Red Sea. The Winter whesft'erop of tsoutlKfrtr Russia has been completely . destroyed by drought ami the Spring grain is In jeopardy from tbe same cause. In some of the North Western States tbe Hessian fly has damaged the wheal so much that tbe threshing machine man ufactories have shut down work. Ktr-> ropean buyers have been recently pur chasing ail the last year's wheat they could Uad. , . - Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls of Kan sas thinks that taxation is tho iheans to keep down trusts and give competition a chance, and for proof cites the suc cess with which tbe general govern ment has kept down tbe growth .of State banks. It is rather strange that so bright a man as tbe Senator should have made, such a mistake. The money power that made Congress tax State banks out ot existence will fnruc Congress to let the trusts alone, and to make State laws against them as Hounding liras* and tinkling cymbal. Drummers in tbe North-West are getting uneasy, and well they may. it is saij that during tbe last I’re*idcn- tia) campaign they were gently advised by their employers that they must, on on their travels, talk up sound money and help It along, directly by •voting for McKinley and Hobart, or indirect ly by throwing away their ballots on Paltrier and Buckner, under pain and penalty of losing their jobs. They did their best and up to date they have had full work. But they have forestglil •snough to know that when the tru*ts being organized under this benevolent administration get complete control of tbe manufacturing Industiic* of Die cotintiy one. man will do-tbe work of two and a great many will consequent ly ‘bit the grit.” .So they are organ izing now to fight the tru-ti>. .like the man who locks his stahlfa after his horse has been stolen. Dewey says that Hobson is too bash ful. The girls on tho -wind kissed - prairies did not find him so. Why not have a general reunion of the old soldiers of Barnwell and Bam berg counties after crops art; laid by ? Yellow Jack appeared in New Or leans last week and Texas has closed Itvt doors against travel and tcaBic (rout that city. The farmers of tbe lower Mississippi valley are in luck this year, as there will be no overflow of “the lailter of Hoods” as tbe Indians called tho mighty river. Mr. W‘. M- Graham of Sumter grows strawberries on an extensive scate. This year be irrigated a part of his crop from an artesian well, increasing flic production 50 per cent over the itii- w a to red portion and making much JArjieriand better strawberries. A. bill baa passed the Texas Legisla ture prohibiting all gambling or specu lation Id cotton - futures. It was intros duced at tbe instance of the cotton planters of tbe State, who state that •peculation In futuree causes a general Ibwering of prices of tbe product, arid t unwarranted fluctuations of the mark*. Tho bill also _probiblts tbq [ Iv futures of all kind* of p*»d- i the 5uie, The penalty- is A Rosemary township philosopher spent a half hour with tt* .the other day. Speaking of the general com plaint* of bijd times he said that lie could remember thing* over fifty years ago, when people hauled good cotton fr u m Barnwell to Hantberg and sold it for 4 cents a pound when the standard price of corn wa* a dollar a bu-liel and country bacon brought from 10 to l.'l cent* a pound. ' * - There wasn't much money afloat lit those times and people did not need as much as they think they do now, hut would complain of hard tunc* with as long facc»as their grand children now wear,'and ahnnt this reason of thejrxr would wonder how iu the world they would make out until-thectop^^ere made. And In hi* younger days, when the woods were f-tifl of game, and w ild turkeys and duck* ami decr could be had for tbe shooting, folks talked about, the good old times of their for bears and wanted to keep living until the good time coming Hhoutd get there. And tho philosopher wound up hi* vl* it by declaring that he expected until the end of iti* chapter to hear people Talk mournfully of the times, and hope fully of the big tilings that were some where ahead in the futme. Ami his experinu e has taught him that many people Imagine that times are hard just as they think themselves ailing in health when they are .'cully all rigid. An Illinois tornado struck a freight train ruutting 40 miles' an hour the other day and blew the cars out, some heavily loaded w ith barrel* iwnl lum ber, leaving the ends to couple up and go on. In selecting Ol. Elbert H. Aul), edi tor of tbe Newberry Herald and Xfljva and President of the 8Ute Press A-so- ciation, as his Private Secretary Gov. McSweeny has exhibited his usual good judgment ami excellent taste.— Goyeruo'r McSweeney -^Vtll not go hack on his first love, the press. Du ring his administration the Guardian will he under management of his bro ther in law and his foreman, and when tired of pel Weal life the Governor will again adorn the sanctum. < UTTON At HE AGE. Latham, Alexander A Co. of New York sent out hi the early Spring •HXl letter* to conimhsioti merchants, broker*, hanks making advance* and responsible planter* embracing every county in the South asking acyeagc es timate* of cotton. t p to the 29th ult. they had received 2,577 replies, of average date, May 23d. On these returns they estimated that the decrease iu acreage this year a* compared with last is lo^-lo per cent o«- 2.4Wi,000 acres, and the average planting of this year’s crop about two weeks later than last year. There was complaint of poor stands owing to drought and defective seed in the Htxtes East of the MissUsipprRiv er, while there had been too much rain on Cbe other side. ^fn the EasterDxStates there hud also been a large reduction in the use of fertilizers, amounting to 3U per cent in tioutb CirollnlL This year’s acreage la Ibis State is put at against | ?,071,U0U last year, - - - r - J CONFEDERATE PENSIONS.

New York, about the medicine men of the pale face*: Doctor* follow' faJiious as obediently a* the women tiny deride—that is, town doctors do. The country doctors plug along and everybody says they are bellitid the time, hut I notice they pull through about as many of their patient* a* anybody el»e does—for peo pie who can afford to pay for it. A well, to do young .married woman told me. a few days ago il.aj, a young wo man i* not regarded a* being in society now unhV**she lia!» undergone a stirgi- cal operation. Nearly every married woman'»ht knew bad been cut or saw ed into one way or another: She hud been under tho knife twice und so far a* the knew and believed it was not necessary either time. She told me two ttories. Ono wa* of a woman who was informed that she had a|iperuJicitis and that an operation was necessary to »ave tier life. Being a very determined woman and having opinions of her own, she positively refused to allow n knife near her and the whole shooting match of consulting M. D a abandoned her indignantly. She went to work just a* if she had been a poor woman in the country and treated herself for an old fashioned case of cramp colic with hot water and flannel and was well the next day. The doctors could not cut her with knives hut they cut her acquaintance and two of them ac tually refused to speak to her because she wouldn.’t die when they said she must: and she,laughed in their faces. The other story illustrate* the fact that it is not always the doctor’* fault. A conscientious man had a woman pa tient w ho Insisted that she must under go an operation- He tried and tried, but she would not respond to treatment or get better and vowed she would die unless operated one^So he gave her chloroform and scratched her skin about a sixteenth of an indi and ban daged it up, and she immediately got better and as soon as her supposititious wound healed recovered entirely. She believes until this day tint the opera-* lion saved her life and goes around telling other women about it and per suading them to ' undergo tile same. The doctor doesn t dare undeceive her and is frying to tight off patient* she sends him. The stories not only tell something about doctors hut indicate that a woman will have her way—or keep trying until she think* she has it.
