Youmans's little Senatorial boom did ? i TT :n I? llOt amount to raucu. ne will u.nuij ciiivi the race against Tillman after being snowed under so badly by the convention. The Palmetto Post figuratively' sheds tears over the proposition to remove the dry dock from Port Royal. It seems to realize that the dock will undoubtedly be moved to Charleston. What real benefit was the Atlanta Exposition of 1894 to the State of Georgia ? Has that State increased more in proportion in population, wealth and new industries in the last few years than South Carolina? Give us some facts and figures on the question. Won't some of these fellows who are clamoring for a State appropriation to the Charleston Exposition tell us what good the people of remote counties in the State' will derive from the show? It's easy to say the Exposition will be of great benefit to South Carolina, but we want some , facts. Be explicit, please. I The postal frauds in Cuba are a disgrace to our government, and bears out to some extent the charge that the United States only wanted to take charge of the government of the island to provide places for scalawags and carpet baggers. The "days of good stealing" in Cuba sounds much like South Carolina's experience during reconstruction. We know nothing whatever about the natural advantages of either Port Royal or Charleston as to the location of a dry dock, but if Charleston can be made a ^ naval station, it is the logical situation. Fact is, we could never understand why the government, in the first instance, ; : should locate a naval station at a town of no commercial importance. It ?now seems settled that Port Royal is to lose a# the naval station, and Charleston ought life to get it. We are glad to say that from what we fg. can learn a large majority of our people favor the levying of a tax to support a good graded school in Bamberg. Our ||! present tax levy is very small?we are not taxed to death by any manner of ^ means?and the small amount asked for ?5 to establish the school will not lay a bur> den on any one. On next Thursday we shall expect our people to roll up a good majority for the school. Any argument that we could use in its favor would be : "threshing old straw," and we would only add that, in our opinion, it is a matter of self preservation. Every property jra; v owner in the district will be benefitted by the establishment of a first-class graded | school here. i Some people in Washington gave the Boer delegates a public reception at which strong speeches of sympathy with . ' their cause were made. Our government received them kindly, but declined to interfere, and the U. S. Senate very IH wisely refused them the privileges of the floor, although several Senators spoke in j S their behalf. In this we endorse the action of the administration. The English neonle are nearer our flesh and blood * *" : p than any other nation, and it's as little as ' f we can do to keep our mouths shut about their row with the Boers. They may be 1 wrong, but there is an old story about a man who became rich minding his own business, and the United States is showing good sense in not meddling in affairs where we are not concerned. y v We can see no reason why money arising from the levy of taxes on many poor people in the State should be appropriat . ' ed to a scheme to benefit Charleston. The statement of the Charleston Evening " Post that "the exposition will be a great : affair for Charleston but it will be a greater for South Carolina, for all that is gained by the city is gained also by the State, and much will come to the State beside that will not be of any direct benefit to the city," is "too absurd a proposition for discussion." Since when did Charleston spend her money for an enterprise that would benefit some other section ? If the exposition was not for the benefit of that city her citizens would not put their money into it, and it is simply outrageous to talk of appropriating the people's money for a show to help Char-, leston. Fact is, we see no good to be derived from the exposition in an advertising way. The business houses of Charleston will be helped by the building going on before and the boarding houses, . hotels, street cars, etc., benefitted by the crowd attending while the exposition is in progress, and that is about all. Jf Charleston can make a success of her show, hut sli.all ficrht. the idea ? O of a State appropriation to any such scheme, and the people of Bamberg county will back us up in it. We have no illwill against the city, and wish the exposition all success, but it is not right for other counties to pay taxes for an exposition which will not do them a particle of good. Let Charleston have her exposition, but let her people who are to reap the benefits foot the bills. PEACE AN1) UNITY. In an editorial in the State newspaper last Thursday morning about the work of the State convention we find the following: We are sorry the occasion has arrisen, but, since it has, we are compelled to state our mind in regard to the attack made by our friend, Mr. L. W. Youmans, on Senator Tillman. It was a grave mistake, and if Mr. Youmans had consulted his friends in advance we are sure they would have told him so and discouraged the utterance. Our opinion of B. R. Tillman is pretty well known. We do not love him, do not admire him. We would like him, for State reasons, for reasons antedating 1890, to put himself in the wrong, to make himself subject to just censure by the Democracy of South Carolina. But?truth is truth?we have to admit, when put to it, that his course in the United States senate, while subject at times to just criticism of language and J " . I - ; fev.' ; . , I methods, has been representative of th Democracy of South Carolina and ha expressed what was in the hearts of ou people and what is in the conviction am conscience of this newspaper. We an sorry that an enemy of ours has thus dis armed us. but it is true that he has, and since the issue is raised, we must admi the fact. We would give a good deal t< have B. R. Tillman take the record o John L. McLaurin. We would en jo; pitchforking him as he has pitchforkei others. But we are denied this pleasure We cannot abandon our own opinion because Tillman represents them. Till man in the senate has represented, on th whole,* our convictions, and we must ail mit the fact. We have, piled up agains him, many records of the past; but as : representative of South Carolina, what ever his motives, he has been faithful t< his trust. There is not much else to say. Sena ti\r Tillman in r>on?rmanr>?? with ail <>!( habit of his, accused the newspapers of j "conspiracy of silence" regarding hi: course in congress. The State has print ed everything concerning him which ha: been sent out by the Associated Press, : concern which lias been more favorabh to him than otherwise. It has not cliosei to keep a Washington correspondent t< puff him or his colleagues; it is not am will not be the organ of any man. It ha: not chosen to comment on every vote o his nor every expression of his?it doe: not regard that as necessary or desirable But it is engaged in no "conspiracy of si lence" against him, and it can on occa sion do him justice. Editor Gonzales has been an unrelent ing tighter since 1890, and the one mat in South Carolina whom he preferred t( defeat above all others was B. R. Tillman Perfect harmony characterized the con I vention, and now one may thoroughly believe that the day of political toleranc< has dawned in South Carolina. We mus; | confess to surprise at such remarks frou i the State, but the surprise is an agreeabh one. Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, May 19.?Rev. J. H. Wil son went to Winston, N. C., last Sunday Mr. O.

Washington, May 21.?The United States supreme court today decided tfit Kentucky governorship case in favor oi Democratic Gov. Beckham in both the quo warranto and the equity proceedings. For want of jurisdiction the court dismissed the writ of error from the Kentucky court of appeals. The opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Fuller, and a vigorous dissenting opinion was delivered by Justice Harlan, the only one to advocate reversal of the Kentucky court's decision. Justices Brewer, Brown, and McKenna also dissented from portions of the opinion. In dismissing the writ of error the chief justice said the court should be the last to overstep the bounds limiting its own jurisdiction, and that in the determination of cases of this character, contests for State offices must necessarily be settled by the political branch of the government. That branch had acted in the Kentucky case when the general assembly took jurisdiction. There was no appeal from the assembly's decision which was favorable to Goebel and Beckham, except to the tribunal of the people, which tribunal, the chief justice said, was always in session. He also said the case was purely a State case?that Kentucky was in the full possession of its faculties; was a member of the Union, and that there Was no emergency at this time calling for interference of the general government to enforce constitutional guarantees or to put down domestic violence. "For more than 100 years the constitution of Kentucky has provided that contested elections for governor and lieutenant governor shall be determined by the general assembly. uThe highest court of the State has often held, and in the present case has again declared, that under these constitutional provisions the power of the general assembly to determine the result is exclusive, and that its decision is not open to judicial review. Many of the States have similiar constitutional provisions and similiar statutes." A Keen Clear Brain.

' People and Places Within 20 t Miles of Bamberg. f. FARMERS AND THEIR FARMS. ' What a Staff* Correspondent of The S Herald Saw and Heard Along the L' County's Highways and Byways. t Eagi.e Poni\ May 26. 1 I had always imagined that this little , body of water received its name as other local appellations are made, because of - the presence near it in some remote pc | rioil of the past of those cruel and rapas cious birds, which sonic stupidly ignorant - blunder in ornithological truth selected s as the emblem of this great and free * American nation. My surprise cau be ! imagined, therefore, when at the annual > picnic of the Govan Graded School, held ' here on Saturday last, I was informed by f a gentleman well versed in local nomens clature that the place takes its nanve from a certain Colonel Eagle, who owned all this country round about previous to its formation, and in the early days of the republic. Colonel Eagle, so tradition j says, was a very rich man, and, besides 4 owning leagues of fertile land, was also the master of a hundred or more slaves who tilled his wide domain. He lived in . a tine mansion which crowned the sum^ mit of the wooded hill which is now the ^ picnic ground. On a then level strip of ^ laud stretching away from the base of this > hill was situated his stables and other outbuildings, his horse and cow lots, his sheep fold and piggery, and beyond there a row of trim cabins?the quarters of his black slaves. The clear, cold waters of the pond now ripple over the site, and I ^ am told that in the centre of the little lake there is practically no bottom, and myriads of fish disport where once gambolled the frisky lamb, the tricky mule, the clumsy kine, and the happy negro. In the space of a few seconds the trans} formation was made, and what was one day iirm land became a bottomless pond of water. Somewhere about 1781 this * section of country was convulsed by a * terrific earthquake shock, more devastating than that which swept through here thirteen vears a?ro. As the result of this I - J ^ seismetic wave the bottom-dropped out of the populous, building covered plain, t and Eagle pond was formed. It is not related whether the negroes, the kine, the mules, the horses and the pigs were j also engulfed, but it is to be hoped that there was a warning tremor of the earth, j and that all escaped in safety to higher t ground. The course of the eartquake can I readily be traced for miles by means of a chain of similar "sinks," some of which contain water, while others are mere depressions in the ground. It is probable I that the water comes from some gigantic underground lake, or possibly a river, for . there is neither outlet or inlet to the pond, drought rarely effects it, and it is only after continued heavy rains that its ) waters rise and overflow its banks. The water is pure, and cold, and limpid, and while other varieties of fish are found r there in abundance, I am told that trout cannot live in its depths. So much -for Eagle Pond and its strange, weird his; tory. There was a very fine turnout at the picnic, and from random talks that I had j. with the farmers present, I learned several new things. For instance, I had demonstrated to my satisfaction the fact tlmt an ever-bearing mulberry tree, ten years old, will fatten a hog to killing size and weight with the addition of a F little corn just before killing time, and ' an intermediate pasturage on a field of ' peas and pindars. The mulberry gives a . fine flavor to the pork, and as the tree is 1 a hardy one, and will begin bearing at two or three years of age, it would pay ' our fanners to set out mulberry groves. [ Sheep will thrive well in this section of the country; they require but little care, except at lambing time, their wool is a staple and always saleable product, and, t because of the mildness of our winters ! "Spring lambs" can be brought to a mark : etable size and weight at a time when, in ' the Northern markets, they will com mand prices that will pay richly, i nave talked sheep farming to many of our planters, and am usually met, when I ; urge the establisment of a fold and flock, > with the stereotyped objection : "There are too many worthless dogs in South Carolina to make sheep farming pay." Then, because of lessons learned elsewhere, I combat this argument with a piece of intelligence which may be news to many of my readers. Sheep and goats will fraternize and herd together, and if , they are reared in companionship from lamb and kid age up will become staunch friends. The sheep is timid and falls an easy prey to a mutton-loving canine. The goat is a fighter from 'way back, and a muscular old "Billy" is more than a match for the most blood-thirsty sheepkilling dog that ever lived. Take a flock of one hundred sa)r, one-fourth beiug goats?nannys or billys?and the threequarter sheep portion will be immune from the fangs of the mutton-eating our, for the goats will battle for their woolly brethren till the last rattle out of a box, and woe be it to the canine who tackles a \ flock of sheep thus protected. There is very little profit in the common goat, ' but if a farmer will start his flock of sheep guarders with native nannys and Angora billys, he will in a short time, , grade up his stock until, as fleece produc- i ers, they will become more profitable than the sheep. It is true that sheep 1 thrive best in mountainous countries, and are more subject to disease in low, flat, moist sections like ours, but sheep farm- ( ing has been made to pay in South Caro- 1 lino iu the past and can be made to pay j again if it is begun and followed intelli- 1 , ] -gently. Last week I bad occasion to make a ] long drive among the Edisto swamps be- ' low Midway. I passed through hundreds of acres of grass-carpeted savannahs, upon which large herds of meat' cattle ' could be profitably grazed. Next to good , roads and better schools, one of my hob- < bys is stock-raising, and a man has only < to sit down and figure the thing out and 1 he will see, with our ideal climate and al- j most imperishable grazing grounds, that ] the industry could be made to pay and pay handsomely. Cattle raising for beef ' alone could be made profitable, but if a ^ dozen or more farmers would combine, j provide themselves with dairy herds, j erect a creamery in some central location and manufacture cheese, they would not f long complain of hard times, low priced J j cotton would cease to fill them with ter- z . " . ; . . ~ * * ror, and, as receipts from their dairy product would be constantly coming in, they would soon arrange their business upon a strictly cash basis, the sun of their prosperity would shine for three hundred and sixty-live days in the year, and the sheriffs would perish for want of patronage.

The tirst ease was against the negro Hamlet McGill for rape, or attempted rape, on a nine-year-old white girl, an account of which has already been published in the papers. He was ably defended by Mr. M. J. Hirsch, assisted by Capt. Kelly, both of whom were appointed by the court to do so. Solicitor Wilson conducted the prosecution in his usual forcible style, and the case was given to the jury late this afternoon. They were out about 80 minutes and returned a verdict of guilty. The negro seemed to be perfectly indifferent to the court proceedings, and I do not believe he yet realizes the awful reality that is before him. He was sentenced to be hanged Friday, June 15th. He never moved a muscle when the death sentence was passed on him and remained stoical and immovable to the last. How's This.

Food is Repulsive to the stomach that is irritated and sensitive. Nervous disorders of the brain irritate the stomach nerves making it weak and easily deranged. .
