County conventions all over the State
endorsed the present method of campaigning
the State. We felt sure the people
wanted the meetings.
The election to decide whether a three
mill tax shall be levied to support a graded
school in this town will be held on Thursday,
May 31st.. Every citizen who has
the good of the town at heart should vote
for the tax.
Senator Clark, of Montana, who was
to have been turned out of the U. S. Senate,
has forestalled the action of that body
by resigning. His friend, the acting gov
. . ernor of Montana, has appointed him to
till the vacancy. It remains to be seen
what the outcome of the matter will be.
The idea of a State appropriation to
the Charleston Exposition is one that
should be fought by the tax payers. And
it will be. The question will no doubt
be agitated in the campaign this summer,
. and candidates required to state from the
stumps whether, if elected, they will vote
fe , for such an appropriation.

The proper authorities should put a
stop to the habit of plowing into the
public roads. In many places parties
plow into the public highways, leaving
H * only a track wide enough for vehicles,
* and into this they too often run their
plows, thereby making the roads very unY
comfortable for travellers.
V Bamberg must have a first-clas^ free"
graded school. To this end, let everybody
work and vote for the three-mill tax
at the election soon to be held. The sal?
vation of the town demands a good free
school, and every citizen who wants Bam?
berg to keep pace'with other t^wns of
wry the State, should vote for the school.
safety '' The unprovoked killing of a young
white man by an insolent jxegro in a street
- car in Augusta last Sunday afternoon is
Yy said to be the result of not having separate
gy apartments for the races, although the law
? , required it. The South Carolina railroad
i&: Y trains only are required to carry separate
cars, we believe, but the law should be
extended to tne street cars, Dusses, nacss,
and all public conveyances of any kind
whatsoever. The crowding of whites
: and blacks into a public vehicle too often
subjects passengers to the irritation of
? v contending with insolent negroes, and we
pf hope the next legislature will enact a law
|p: requiring that the races be kept separate
on public conveyances, of any kind.
? " - These are the days when the would-be
?L-;/ statesman and politician attempts to
"bilk" the country newspapers out of a
lot of free advertising. This paper has
p ; had several candidates for State offices to
: inform us more than once already that
they are candidates, etc. But no word as
I I to their race has been mentioned in these
' - columns, nor will be. We are not in'the
business of running a newspaper for the
benefit of two-for-a-quarter politicians,
and when they want ad vertising they will
have to pay for it. "Communications of
;'V. a personal nature are charged for as regular
advertising," and those interested
might as well remember that this is an
invariable rule of this office.
\ TO PROTECT FISH.
The Orangeburg county grand jury
has also taken cognizance of the flagrant
V violations of law and the consequent
wholesale slaughtering of fish in the Edisto.
In their final presentment last
~ week we fipd the following:
"We" beg leave to call the particular attention
of this honorable court to a petition
handed to the grand jury requesting
that some action would be ftaken in
regard to the wholesale destruction of
fish by all kinds of vices, traps, nets and
sheeting, and we have examined several
jvitnesses and find there is just cause for
complaint, and would respectfully ask
that this honorable court would instruct
the proper parties to enforce the law in
regard to this unlawful destruction of
fish. We respectfully hand to the Solicitor
the petition and the evidence handed
^ to us."
Violators of the law can be punished
and the traps broken up if our people
will but use the proper effort. Let every
man onrvAir?f Kimonlf o AAmmiffnn rvf Ann

. /* Pensions and Schools.
All the counties have now officially reported
the deficiencies in the school fund
to the comptroller general and the comptroller
will forthwith take all steps preliminary
to the disbursement of the dispensary
profits to the credit of the school
r fund. Before the warrants go, however,
receipts have to be sent for county officials
to sign and return.
?The comptroller is also ready to begin
. " the disbursement of the State pension
fund. The same system as to receipts
will prevail, and these will be sent out
before the end of the week. .County
i clerks of courts and pensioners will aid
in the rapid payment of the pension money
by attending to the signing of these
receipts promptly.?The State. ?

The Georgia Primary.
Atlanta, Ga., May 15.?Democratic
white primaries were held throughout
Georgia today, for the choice of United
States senator, congressmen from the 11
districts, governor end other State house
officials, members of the general assembly
and many judges and county officers. The

Denmark Doings.
Denmark, May 15.?Farmers of this
section are busy putting crops in good *
condition, making ready for the harvest- i
ing of the fine grain crop. Cool nights ]
have checked the growth of cotton some- i
what and bud worms are playing havoc :
with corn. Taking all these disadvan- i
tages into consideration, the present crop
cannot be made as cheap as usual, but i
the farmers are expecting good prices. 1
The man of merit is fast coming to" the
front. The people of this section have '
their hearts and minds fixed upon highest
ideals of government, and propose to
cast their ballot for that candidate in '
whom they believe the honest demands :
of the people can be entrusted.
Mr. G. A. Goolsby has given out the

Confederate soldiers of this community
are discussing the approaching reunion
at Louisville, Kentucky. Some will probably
attend. The place of meeting this
year is of special interest to most soldiers,
since it is the blue grass region of our
South-land, and during the war very little
opportunity was offered to visit the
city.
The game of ball between Bamberg
and Denmark Monday evening was very
poor. The sun must have been too hot
for the boys.

Escape from the Press-Gang.
When war was declared against Great
Britain in 1812 the American rallying cry
was," No'impressment." The motive for
this may be gathered from an incident related
in Dr. Marshall's biography of Commodore
Macdonough, U. S. N. Macdonough
was at the time captain of the brig
Gulliver, from New York to Liverpool,
and on t*he evening preceding her departure
from Liverpool, was on shore. A
stranger approached him and asked if he
belonged to any vessel in the harbor.
The instant that the captain named the
i- ~ i
WUiliVCr 11C ?<? sunuuuueu auu scum
by the press-gang, who took him on board
an English frigate. The commanding
officer of the frigate paid no attention to
the American's objections to this indignity,
but ordered him forward.
Macdonough had to obey. He was
shortly commanded to "turn in," and going
below, he hung up a hammock and
turned in without undressing.
About midnight the corporal of the
guard took the hammock next to his.
Waiting until the corporal was asleep,
our captain rose, dpffed his clothes, and
put on those of the British officer. Then
coolly climbed the ladder and walked out
on the spar deck, to the ship's side.
"Sentry," said he, "what boat is that at
the bOom?"
"The second cutter sir," was the reply.
The natural tone of the sentry's answer
gave Macdonough renewed confidence,
and he boldly walked up to the
officer of the deck, and touching his cap,
said: "I would like to overhaul the second
cutter, sir, I think there is rum
aboard her."
"Very well, corporal," answered the
officer, "search the boat and see what you
can find."
The captain \rent quickly forward,
sprang out through the port upon' the
swinging boom, and dropped into the
cutter. As quick as thought he cut the
rope that secured her, and the flood tide
setting strong up the river, he quickly
dropped astern.
"Help, help!" he shouted, "the boat's
loose!"
"Get out the oars!" responded the officer
of the deck. "You can hold her against
the tide."
Macdonough got the oars, and before his
nnvnnra M-oc thp Pllf tpr WAS SOTIl P
11CW X VUitfJVVt v**v vv?wvw? .. ??.- ?
distance up the river, and he was pulling
with all his might at the oars.
The sentries discharged their muskets
at him but the captain made good his escape
and regained his own ship.
"I'll make the English pay for this!"
he said; and he kept his word.
Manures vary so greatly as to make it
difficult to estimate their value. When a
large proportion of coarse foods is fed,
with but a limited amount of grain, the
manure may not be worth the cost of
spreading it, unless on a field very near
the barnyard.. The average value of one
ton of ordinary stable manure, which includes
the materials mixed with that voided
by the animals, is $2, and the cost depends
upon the hauling, as well as the
loading and spreading. Such work requires
a man and two horses, and unless
the manure has been well decomposed
the loading and spreading may be tedious
work. Considering the time of hauling
fr^in livery stables to the barnyard, it may
make the cost of such manure more than
its value. If the distance is great, as the
manure must be loaded on the wagon,
thrown out into the heap at the barnyard,
and again loaded on the wagon and
hauled to the field to be spread. At a
value of but $2 per ton it will pay fanners
to purchase fertilizers in preference
to buying from livery stables, and especially
when the manure consists mostly of
straw.?Home and Farm.
The general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church (Northern branch)
has passed unanimously the provision
giving equal representation to the laity, a
question that lias agitated the church for
many years.
A serious strike is now on at St. Louis
among the street railroad employees, and
as a result every street car in St. Louis is
laid up. This has resulted in great loss
not only to the railroads, but to evenbranch
of business, and the situation is
more grave, because collisions are occurring
between the strikers and those desiring
to take their places.
It is how settled that MoKinley and
Bryan win be the Republican and Democratic
nominees for President, but both
parties are at sea as to the nominees for
Vice President, and many "booms'' are
being started for men who have attained
no prominence in national affairs.
A young man who was being examined

Lynch ins; in Augusta.
Last Sunday afternoon on a crowded
street car in Augusta a young negro
lamed Wilson shot and killed a premium
t young society man of that city
lamcd Aleck Whitney. The killing was
111 unprovoked murder, Whitney merely
resisting the attempt.of a companion of
Wilson's to sit in a crowded seat with
dim, whereupon Wilson shot him. A
mob lynched the negro Monday morning.
The citizens of Augusta place much of
the blame for the killing upon the street
railway company, who did not obey the
law requiring'them to have separate accommodations
for white and**olored pas
senders.

Senator Tillman's bill removing the
naval station from Port Royal to Charleston
has passed the Senate, and it will
doubtless go through the House, though
Congressman Elliott is violently opposed
to it. Should the bill finally become a
law it will mean a great deal to Charleston
and the practical destruction of Port
Royal as a great Southern port. The
naval station at Port Royal has never
been popular with navy officers.
The blasting of the hopes of Port Royal
the people of Beaufort contend will also
ruin the aspirations of their city. They
sent a strong delegation to Washington
to prevent the passage of the Tillman
amendment, but without avail.

The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of a demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack of sciatic
or inflammatory rheumatism will agree
that the infliction is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief. It has nerer been
claimed that Chamberlain'k Pain Balm
would cast out demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony
to the truth of this statement. One application
relieves the pain, and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth

Sentenced to Death.
Richmond, Va., May 15.?At ^lartinsville
today Charles Hairston, the negro
indicted for attempting criminal assault
upon Miss Gauldin, was tried, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged on June 20.
* The evidence was conclusive.
Tift; militia formed a cordon around
the court house square and none were
permitted to enter the court room except
court officials, witnesses, reporters and
lawyers in the case.
The crowd was orderly.
The onl3' incident of the day was the
disarming of Miss Gauldin's father in the
presence of the court.
A noted semi-ecclesiastical character
has passed away in Mr. Sagar, better
known as "Old Sagar,'' who was sexton
of Halifax Parish Church, in England.
Sagar once wrongly grouped some wedding
parties, with the result that an aged
couple, who had no intention of getting
married, were joined together in holy
matrimony. When toM of it, he remarked
: "They haven't long to live; so it don't
matter very much." On another occasion,
"Old Sager," with true Yorkshire shrewdy
ness, locked up the bride until the bridegroom
produced the marriage fees, the
sum rendered at the conclusion of the
ceremony being insufficient.

Archbishop Temple, of Canterbury is
always made impatient of bores, especially
of clerical bores. One of the clergy
of his diocese who had pestered him a
good deal recently wrote an inordinately
long letter describing a picture which he
proposed to put in the chancel of the
church, and asking permission to do so.
By the time his grace reached the end of
the epistle his patience was quite exhausted,
and he replied on a postcard: "Dear
Blank?Hang the picture!" The clergyman
is still wondering how he ought to
regard the reply.
Bishop J. S. Key wrote: Teethina

The Profits Increase.
At a recent meeting of the State Board
of directors they decided to reduce the invoice
price of liquor to dispensers. This

the same time the profits to the towns
and counties will be increased.

The Paris exposition still claims first attention
in the magazines, and The Delineator
gives, in the June number, a lightly
drawn but graceful and entertaining pen picture
of the opening-day ceremonies,
followed by a short description of the
fair as it presents itself to the eye" from
various coigns of vantage. Eliot Gregory
includes in his paper an interesting resume
of French fairs. The large and important
part which American women
have taken in the fair reflects great credit

The Ignorance of the Court.
Sam Jones is credited with the following
story, which illustrates one of the
many amusing scenes in the court room.
A negro was arraigned forborne misdemeanor,
and the presiding judge asked
him if he had counsel to represent him.
He asked the judge what that was. The
judge replied, "nave you a lawyer 10 attend
to your case?" "No," said the negro,
"I don't need no lawyer." "What
are you going to do? Are you going to
defend yourself and be your own attorney?"
"No," he said, "Marse Judge, I'm
just going to throw myself on the ignorance
of the court."
