The Greenville county board of control has, through the papers, charged H. H. Evans, of the State board of control, "with attempting to bribe one of its members to vote for a certain man as beer dispenser at Greenville. If they can prove the charge, Evans should be immediately turned out of office. It was a serious mistake to elect him in the tirst instance. There has not appeared in this paper any interview with Senator Tillman as to who the successful candidates for State offices would be, nor any article purporting to be such an interview. The opinions expressed in the article referred to are our own, and for which the editor of this paper is alone responsible. We made P5T,*^ . ? this statement last week, but repeat it now, as it seems some parties are trying to use the article for the purpose of free advertising. . * ? ~ The privilege tax of 25 cents per ton on fertilizers paid by the fertilizer companies to the State goesao support Clemson College. Without this tax the eol5S& .v ? lege could not live. The fertilizer people pay this tal willingly, and it is not added to the price of the fertilizers, for they say that it is paid by them to support an experimental agricultural station by the State, where experiments on growing V crops can be made with their fertilizer. If the State did not do this the companies say they would be forced to do it, in order to establish the value of their ferti.lizer. The legislature has heretofore atI tempted to do away with or reduce to practically nothing this privilege tax, which would have the effect of shutting up Clemson College. This being' the case, our people should be on their guard in reference to the matter, sending men f to the legislature who will vote to keep the privilege tax at 25 cents, thereby insuring the maintenance of Clemson. Complaint has been made to us of the leniency of the mayor in releasing without fine young Walker, who fired intc "MVe Anna n-ratTcrm'Q rpsidfmce last Sat I* urday afternoon. They say that he should iiot hare been allowed to go scot free, and ^ that if the town authorities ever hope tc |x_ break up this intolerable practice oi shooting around town, the offenders wil] have to be severely dealt with, and not lei off with simply a lecture. The mayor re sides in the same house, and no doubt he has a good reason for his leniency. W ( have heard several complaints recently as to the pistol firing going on in town ai night, and vigorous steps should be taker to put a stop to it. Some weeks ago t little negro boy, about 12 years old, wa.< before the mayor charged with cursing or the streets. He was fined $10, and was put in prison, until the white people oi the town raised the money and paid the fina Complaint was made to us of th? matter at the time, but we did not notice it, and we only mention it now becaus< our people are comparing the two cases & Mayor Inglis is a nice gentleman, and we V would not say anything to wound his feelings, but we mention these matters ir P order that he may know how some of oui people feel about them. We know thai it is impossible to please everybody, bui all law-breakers should be treated exactl} alike, whether white or black, rich oi poor. THE DISPENSARY MUDDLE. Dispensary affairs in Bamberg count} are badly mixed up just now, and man} f. of our people would like to know "when we are at." The status of affairs is like this: Some time in May a new board oi control was appointed for this county consisting of J. J. Jones, G. P. Perry anc G. B. Kinard. They met and organized and elected dispensers at their first meet ing. There was only one change made in the county dispensers: Geo. P. Bam berg, a member of the old board, was elected dispenser at Bamberg, in place o] J. D. Felder. Mr. Felder appealed th( matter to the State board, on the grounc that the board was an illegal body, the} . being appointed on the recommendatior of Senator Mayfield alone, and not th< entire delegation, as requirtd by law . The State board referred the matter u the attorney general, who advised that al the newly commissioned boards of con trol were illegal, in that they had beei commissioned by the State board of con trol instead of the governor. This opinioi was published in the papers, but no notict of any kind has been served upon th< new or old board of control. Last Thursday was the day for tin regular monthly meetiug, to receive re ports of dispensers, etc., and the nev board declined to serve. Consequently Capt. Bamberg, in order that the busi ness of the dispensaries might go on, ant the dispensers not be placed in an em barrassing position, called the old boart together and made the monthly settle ments. No other business was transacted Now, the members of the former boart hold commissions dated in May, 1S9S signed by the members of the State boart of control, which is the same authority which commissioned the new board, con sequently they are just as much an illega body as the new board. Therefore al county boards have been holding offio illegally since 1806, this being the tiirn when they were commissioned by tin State board. If the thing is to go or back until a legal board is found, it seem: that the old Barnwell county board woulc have to take charge of affairs here unti a legal board is appointed. But something should be done, anc that right speedily. If the board ap pointed in May, 1000, is illegal, the board appointed in May, 1898, is also illegal and there is no more reason why the old board should transact the business than the new board. As it is now, affairs are badl]' mixed up, and our legislative delegation should at once get together and straighten out the tangle, putting the affairs of the dispensaries in this county in legal shape. Just before going to press we learn that Senator Mavtield yesterday. (Tuesday) while in town, called on Dr. Black to recommend a county board, and the doctor suggested that the old board be appointed, to which Mr. Mavtield agreed. So we are to have a legal hoard of control, and the members will be the present board: Capt. Geo. P.Bamberg, Messrs. 0. R. Clayton and G. P. Perry. We are sincerely glad that the board has been put on a legal footing. Buford's Bridge Breezes. On the fourth the day opened fairer than usual; no clouds could be seen as the day was growing. The different sections made their way down the roads; the most of this neighborhood went to Rivers's Bridge memorial grounds to a picnic in honor of the Confederate veterans. A crowd numbering about two hundred was present, and the day was very much enjoyed. 1 noticed from the roll call that the men who stood by the South during the sixties are passing away one by one. After the roll was called and other business transacted. Rev. J. H. Wilson addressed the audience in his usual manner. Mingled with wisdom and wit, an intellectual feast was listened to.

Washington, July 10.?The monthly ' report of the statistician 01 tne aeparci ment of agriculture shows the average 5 condition of cotton on July 1 to have been 75.8, as compared with 87.8 on Jul}' t 1,1899. i The condition of the principal States i reported is as follows: North Carolina . 89, South Carolina 79, Georgia 74, Florida 78, Alabama 70, Mississippi 64, Louisiana 1 81, Arkansas 78, Texas 78, Tennessee 76, 5 Oklahoma 82, Indian Territory 96. f With the exception of North Carolina , and Indian Territory the condition throughout the entire* cotton belt com; pares unfavorably with the ten year averi age. i Not only was the condition on July 1 for the cotton region as a whole the lowest July condition on record, but in Georgia, ' Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi it was > the lowest in thirty-four years, while in t Tennessee it was the lowest with one exr ception, and in South Carolina, Texas, and Arkansas the lowest with two except tions in the same period of thirty-four t years. r * In South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas considerable areas will have to r be abandoned.

Senator White of California and J. Haml it on Lewis of Washington arrived here today from I Lincoln, Nebraska. Senator Jones will - remain here to direct the campaign. [ "The Democrats made free silver the , issue in 181)0," declared the Senator, "and they will make anti-imperialism the issue K in the coming campaign. The Republicus 3 may try to make other questions parar mount, so as to keep imperialism and trusts in the background, but we will not " allow them to do so.' 1 "Will Mr. Bryan make such a campaign 1 as he did four years ago?" "My own idea is that he should not. It is too great a task to demand ot one man s that he should make so man}- and such e extensive trips as did Mr. Bryan four ! years ago.

An I nusual Case Decided in the Spar tail burg Court. 1 Spaktanb i? ko July 9.?An interesting t case was heard here before Judge Aidrich today. A marriage solemnized be- i tween Miss Fannie V. Littlejohn and the \ Rev. Stephen A. Nettles, of the South s Carolina conference, on June 25, 1899, was declared to be void and never to have j been of binding force. The action was j brought by Miss Littlejohn, who alleged t that at the time of such marriage her mind was so much impaired by reason of a j serious physical ailment that she was j I incapable of understanding or of carrying ] ! out the marriage contract. i iat^lv jitter the marriatre 11 XlIUl\/OV lUltUVXMMkV. T ^ she was placed under the treatment of a , specialist in surgery and diseases peculiar J to women, and as a result of her treatment ] her mind has been restored, and she alleges ^ that since regaining possession of her * faculties she does not wish to ratify or consummate the marriage. The testimony was in accordance with the allegations, and while Miss Littlejohn j testified that Mr. Nettles' treatmeut was i very kind, she stated that she would not * assume the duties and relationship of a j wife. Under this state of facts, Judge ( Aldrich held that the alleged contract was i in fact no contract and so adjudged. ? Messrs. Duncan & Sanders represented the plaintiff, and Mr. R. 0. Purdy, of Sumter, represented the defendant. The Oregon. ] Naval officers in Washington do not 1 hesitate to say that the grounding of the * magnificent man-of-war Oregon on the Chinese coast is the legitimate and not ' wholly unexpected result of incompetency ' on the part of the vessel's officers. One * of these, Captain Wilde, has a good record, 1 but being a mere human being, he was not able to be on duty twenty-four hours * in the day. His absence left the ship at 1 the mercy of a set of young men, all ' inexperienced, and one, by the records of 1 the war department, an habitual drunkard ! having been sentenced on two occasions ' for this offense, losing more than 40 points ' in his credit record. The young man, with all his faults, had a strong pull among Mr. McKinley's trust friends in the East, and this sufficed to restore him to 1 a position wherein he had absolute control < of a great Avar ship and the destinies of i its officers and crew. j Naval officers wlicr know the facts, but are very careful about expressing them, live in a constant state of apprehension lest the circumstances which led to the injury of the Oregon should be repeated ] almost any day on other American ships, j Favoritism and "pulls" have done their j work under McKinley.

"Yes, his last name, but your own first name." "Oh, me name before I was married ?" "No, your given name?Ellen or Bridget?" "Sure, then, me name is nayther wan o' them!" "Well, what is it then?"

In the lazy days of mid-summer when bodily and mental energy are at their lowest ebb, the chief demand is to be entertained, and this has been well considered in nreDaring the August number of The Delineator."

Pax a, III., June 14.?Supervisor Dick Berry was driving koine in a wagon today with bis 4-year-old grandson on the seat with k?m. Arriving at home, Mr. Berry got out of the wagon, and in a few minutes called to his grandson to get out. He received no answer. Looking up, lie saw the boy sitting rigid on the seat, with his eyes fixed and distended. He called again, but the boy gave no evidence of hearing him. Becoming alarmed, Mr. Berry went to the wagon, and was horrified to find a rattlesnake coiled on the floor of the wagon, its head waving to and fro and its glittering eyes fixed on the boy, who seemed completely under the snake's coqtrol. Mr. Berry's first thought was to grab the boy from his seat. Something quicker was necessary, and, acting on the impulse, he suddenly threw out his , left hand, caught the snake by the throat, and held it while with his other hand he took his knife from his pocket, opened it with his teeth and cut the snakeY head off. Mr. Berry had the rattles, eight in number, taken from the snake's tail. Nineteen rattlesnakes were killed on that farm Saturday, and ninety-six rattlesnakes have been killed on the D'Acy lands this season. A Card.

IS IT~Rl(*HT For au Editor to Recommend Patent Medicines J [Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C.] It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of suffering we feel it aduty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years, and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and aduiinisterea at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided, and in very many cases the presence of a physician woui.i not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by all druggists and medicine dealers. Broke Her Name in Ttvo.
