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

now, as it seems some parties are trying

~ 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.

c Bad State of Cotton Crop.
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.

1 Speak Oat, Gentlemen.
The Democratic executive committee
has appointed several campaign meetings
) in this county, to which all the candidates
1 are cordially invited. Under party rules
candidates are required to state their
views upon public questions. This rule
1 should be applied to all. If the party is
- to be kept solid, there must be no gap
x left down by which the disaffected can
enter in. All men voted for should be
s sound on the main questions in which our

e Imperialism and Trusts*
Chicago, July 10.?Senator J. K. Jones,
k. chairman of the Democratic national
committee; J. G. Johnson, chairman of
r the executive committee; Charles A.
- Walsh, national secretary; D. J. Campau,
} national committeeman. 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. He will probably make several
trips, covering important points."
' According to Senator Jones, Mr. Bryan
1 has under consideration the place" in
1 which to receive the committee next
mouth that is to notify him of his nomi,
nation. Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus,
0., and New York are the cities whose
claims are said to be the strongest.

THFIR MARRIAKK ANNULLED.
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

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. ?

the plaintiff, and Mr. R. 0. Purdy, of Sumter,

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. They are not
healthy for the navy department.?National

All About a Signatnre.
Tellers and clerks of savings banks have
a rare opportunity to study human nature.
All sorts of people, with many strange
notions of the methods and purposes of
banks, come before them. A teller of a
Boston savings bank tells a true story of
a good Irishwoman who came to the bank
trv ??r? n^nunt "Plpase write vour
name on that line," said the official, pushing
toward the woman a book and a pen.
"Do you want me first name ?" she asked,
taking the pen in her hand.
"Yes, your full name and middle initial
if you have any."
"Do yez want me husband's name ?"
"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?"
"Sure, it's Mary."
"Very well. There are others waiting
for you, so please hurry and write your
name."
"Ah^ sure, do ye want the 'Mrs. ?'"
"No, never mind that. Now go ahead."
"Ah, sure, mister, I would, honest; but
ye see I can't write!"?Youth's Companion.
August Delineator.
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." In the fiction presented,
three more diverse styles could hardly be
imagined. Francis * Lynde's story of
Love andt Adventure, with the scene
laid in Colorado, is in his happiest
vein. Cornelia Atwood Pratt's
dainty sketch, "Clothes and the Woman,"
is one thai has a telling title, as every
woman will confess; while the Oberlin
Tales?stories founded upon college
experiences in Oberlin, Ohio?charm by
their very naturalness. Eliot Gregory's
concluding paper on the Paris Exposition,
in the August number of The Delineator,
is full of life and brightness, and dull
must be the imagination that cannot
accompany him over the sunlit space of
the Exposition grounds aud see with him
the wonders of the last World's Fair of
the century; the strange people who have
come to be seen, and the peoples who have
come to see.

A Snake Story.
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.

JJses of tlie Screech Owl.
Judge H. C. Sheffield has undoubtedly
made an important discovery regarding
the much dreaded owl. For some time
past the Judge has been annoyed by
frequent visits from one or more of these
nocturnal birds aud has spent some time
jn an endeavor to rid his premises of such
unwelcome visitors; but up to date had
fajled to accomplish Ijis design. Before the
advenf. of the owl English sparrows fairly
swarmed in and about the trees in the
Judge's yard, but since Mr. Owl took up
quarters there very few sparrows are to
be seep. Therefore, the little screech owl,
so despised as the harbinger of evil, has
demonstrated its usefulness and hereafter |
deserves consideration for being a friend J
to any comwfinUy.

Bullfrog or Conscience.
"Are you one of the officers of the
treasury department?" asked the man
with the bloodshot eyes.
"I am assistant secretary of the treasury,"
was the reply; "what can I do for
you ?"
"Well, it's rather a confidential business,
and 1 don't want it to go any further; but
I've come to pay the government some
money and 1 guess 1 owe it fairly. 1
came back from Europe some time ago
with some dutiable goods concealed about
me and got past the revenue officers with
them. I figure that I beat the government
out of at>out and I've come to square
up and get the matter off my mind."
"Well," responded the assistant secretary.
"we have what we call a conscience

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.
The society reporter of a daily papei
had been detailed to procure the names
of prominent persons in attendance at a
performance of grand opera
"I beg pardon, madam," she said, approaching
one of the occupants of a
private box, "but will you oblige me by
giving me your name ?"
"Mrs. Archibald Jo Neeze," replied the
lady.
"Pardon me," rejoined the reporter
"I did not quite catch the last name."
"Jo Neeze."
"May I ask how you spell it?"
"Certainly. J-o-n-e-s, Jo Neeze," haugh
tily answered the occupant of the box
and the reporter retired to the foyer tc
fan herself.
Was it a Miracle?
"The marvelous cure of Mrs. Rena J
Stout of consumption has created intense
exciiemeut in Camuiaek, Ind.," writes
Marion Stuart, a leading druggist o!
Muncie, Ind. She only weighed 90 pounds
when her doctor in Yorktown said she
muat soon die. Then she began to use
Dr. King's New Discovery and gained 3"<
pounds in weight and was completely
cured. It has cured thousands of hope
less cases, and is positively guaranteed tc
cure all throat, chest and lung diseases
50c. and $1.00. Trial bottles free at Thos

If the merchants are spiritless fellows

There is more catarrh in this section ol
the country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a greal
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable
Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment.' Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer $100 for any case it fails to cure,
Send lor circulars and testimonials. Address

The following story comes from Home:
Some ladies made their appearance at a
Papal reception, to the grave displeasure
of the Pope, in ball room dress. A well
known Cardinal was instructed to apprise
these offenders of their breach of etiquette.
The Cardinal thus fulfilled his
ktnmpu-hAt dpliratp mission: "The PoDe."
he said, "is old-fashioned, and does not
like decollete dresses, but I am quite
accustomed to them, for I have been so
much among savages when a missionary
that I do not mind them."
lVliite Mail Turned Yellow.
Great consternation was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty, of Lexington,
Ky., when they saw he was turning yellow.
His skin slowly changed color, also
his eyes, and he suffered terribly. His
malady was yellow jaundice. He was
treated by the best doctors, but without
benefit. Then he was advised to try
Electric Bitters, the wonderful stomach
and liver remedy, and he writes : "After
taking two bottles 1 was wholly cured,"
A trial proves its matchless merit for all
stomach, liver and kidney troubles. Only

"We have sold many different cough
remedies, hut none has given better satisfaction
than Chamberlain's," says Mr.
Charles Holzhauer, druggist, Newark,

relied upon in all cases of coughs, colds
or hoarseness." Sold by all druggists
