Youmans's little Senatorial boom did

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.

Beckham is governor.
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."

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.

Triumph of Law in Williamsburg.
Kingstree, May '21.?Court convened
here today, Judge Gage presiding. 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.
