Doubtless Bryan feels easier now. The Gaffney Ledger has announced that it will support him. Now if the Press and Banner would fall into line maybe he could rest well of nights. " There has been some discussion about the idea of establishing an electric light plant in connection with the oil mill, and we believe this will be done, if a contract for lighting the town can be secured. Our citv fathers could not do a more popular thing. The cost of electric lights would be very little more than the very "unsatisfactory oil lamps now used, and : - we hope to see our town lighted by electricity before many months. m It is said that Jim Tillman, who is running for lieutenant governor, expects to get the votes of the men who were in the First regiment with him during the Spanish war. Will he get them? Well, hardly. We are acquainted with the r'. members of two companies who were in his regiment, and we can safely say that if they all are of the same opinion as these men, Tillman could not be elected to anythiug by their votes. - - ,j i._ It does seem use some seoeme couiu uc devised whereby all property of every kind would be compelled to be returned for taxation. We are told by those in a position to know that there is a great deal of property upon which no taxes are ever paid, and there seems to be no way of compelling persons owning such property to return it. If some one of our legislative candidates can map out a plan that will insure the equalization of taxatiou, he will stand a good chance of election. >- The first campaign meeting for this county will be held at or near Olar next Saturday, the 21st instant. At this initial ? meeting the issues of the campaign no v doubt will be clearly defined. Our people V should see that there is no dodging. v-\ Questions of great importance will come I before the next legislature for settlement, * and Bamberg county's representatives there should be fully in accord with our people. Good roads and good schools will no doubt be the paramount issues, and candidates should not only favor these things, but they should have some practical plan mapped out as to the best method of obtaining these necessary adjuncts to civilization.

Homieide in Walterboro. Walterboro, July 13.?At 2 o'clock this afternoon W. P. Felder shot and killed L. C. Herndon. The shooting ?p* * took place in Terry & Shaffer's store, where Mr. Felder is emploj'ed as clerk. Felder used a pistol, tiring three shots, ' * all of which took effect in Herndon's abdomen. Herndon lived about ten mint utesj As to the origin of the shooting, it ap. < " pears that Felder purchased this morning a string of fish from G. B. Ferrel. They sT proved to be spoiled, and Mr. Felder refused to pay for them. Upon the insistance of Ferrel, he finally consented to pay js for them. Ferrel then refused to accept y- the money, and went out of the store and laid his grievance before his friend, Mr. Herndon. Herndon went into the store and began S cursing and abusing Mr. Felder. Mr. Felder, being a small man and Mr. Herndon a large one, he offered Herndon a | pistol with which to settle the matter, Herndon declaring, when questioned by % Felder, that he had no pistol. Herndon refused to accept the proffered weapon, but continued to abuse and curse % Felder. Felder asked him to leave the store, which he refused to do. When immediately after the shooting the men were approached they were on the floor, Herndon holding Felder thereto. Whether I Herndon seized Felder before the shoot & ing is not now known. % X< ? Trying Gnebel's 31urderers. Georgetown, Ky., July IT.?In the trial today of Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in the Goebel shooting, Finley Anderson testified that on January 4 Caleb Powers told him the crowd of mountaineers which was being organized was going to Frankfort to intimidate the legislature and, if necessary, to : kill enough Democrats to give the Republicans a majority. He said: "Powers " told me Goebel would never live to be governor, and said he (Powers) would kill him if nobody else would." Witness said he heard Powers and others talking about Goebel wearing a coast of mail, but some of them said that he could be killed anyway. Powers was in conference with ex-Secretarv State Charles Finley, Wharton Golden, Robert Noakes and others. On cross-examination the witness became considerably confused, admitting that he hail called on Col. T. C. Campbell of counsel for the prosecution, in Cincinnati. Witness admitted securing a position in Cincinnati, but denied that it was due to his willingness to testify in this case. Lucy Brock.of London, testified that she knew the defendant well and had corresponded with him for over two vears past. Powers called on her in January. He told witness he was getting a crowd of 1,000 mountain men to go "to Frankfort, "so that in case the the Democrats robbed them of the Stateoffices they could take care of themselves." Witness said Powers told her the plan to take the 1,000 mountain men to Frankfort was Gov. Taylors creation. Senator Newton Frazier. of Shelby county, who was standing between the legislative and executive buildings when the assassination occurred, declared the shots were undoubtedly fired from the executive building. Capt. Hawu, of the Barbourville military company, testified as to the conver-! sations between himself and the Powers brothers touching the movements of the company. John Powers asked him if he would not turn over the company to one of the lieutenants, and he agreed to do so. Caleb Powers told him he wanted the company and other mountaineers to go to Frankfort for the effect it would have on the legislature. Capt. Watts, of the Williamsburg comDanv. also told of a conversation with 3ohn Powers relative to taking his company to Frankfort. He declined to do so, except under orders. J#***' South Carolina Cotton Mill News. [Textile Excelsior.] The contract for the erection of the new cotton mill at Blacksburg has been awarded. At a meeting of the directors of the Arcade cotton mills. Kock Hill, held last week, a semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent, was declared. The contract for the erection of the addition to the F. \V. Foe Mfg. Co.. of Greenville, has been awarded. The extension will be four stories high and ttoO feet long, and will cost about $00,000. The secretary of State has issued a commission to the Johnson cotton mills, of Johnson, Edgefield county. The capital stock is to be $">0,000. The corporators are S. J. Watson. L). T. Ouzts, B. F. Lewis, W. W. Crouch, \Y. D. Holland, C. F. Strother, P. C. Stevens, of Johnston, Chas. \V. Davis, of Augusta, and Alvin Etheridge, of Saluda. J. A. Brock, president of the Wilmot cotton mills, of Honea Path, states that he expects to call for the first installment of '20 per cent, of the subscribed st?>ck in Julv. As soon as this is paid in a charter will be secured and the company organized. He expects to be able to begin work on the mill building about August 1st. The directors of the Manchester cotton mill, Rock Hill, have applied to the secretary of State for authority to increase the capital stock to $200,000. The capital stock of this company has heretofore been $200,000, although of this amount only $162,100 was issued. The remaining $87,900 and $48,000 of the surplus will be utilized in paying for the addition now being made to the plant. President Barron expects that work on this addition will be completed early in October. At a recent meeting of the stockholders of the proposed Hartsville cotton mill, of Hartsville, the following board of directors was elected : S. M. Milliken, New York; Col. T. E. Moore, of the Tucapau (S. C.i Mills; J. C. Evins, of the Clifton (S. C.)cotton mills; D. A. P. Jordan, of the Grendel mills, Greenwood, S. C.; J. ii- xt V r> . T T I U . ^Ul'^UUU, ?i i.1. v., W.

It is the most successful medicine in the world for bowel complaints, both for children and adults. Bishop Abiel Leonard, of the Episcopal church, vouches for the following little story: "In the early days of Durango as a mining camp* the* Episcopal bishop of Colorado went there, riding all the way from Denver over the mountains andplains in stage coaches and on horseback. The Duraugo clergvman laid great stress on this self-sacrifice at the meeting that followed, and suggested that the congregation show its appreciation by a liberal contribution, the money to be used to help Christianize Colorado. The man who came up to pass the hat for that congregation was an old miner; the congregation was made up of miners. The first man to whom the hat waspresented dropped in a silver quarter. The collector looked at it, then very deliberately reached back to his hip pocket and pulled out his revolver. This he pointed right at the man's eye, after cocking it carefully. "Take that thing right out of there," he said. "This is no ordinary occasion; nothing less than a dollar goes." The collection was a good one. Goebel's Snccessor. Lexington, Ky., July 15.?The Democratic State convention will meet here on Thursday. Indications are that there will be a lively contest for a successor to the late Wm. Goebel. Governor Beckham is strongly in the lead, according to the returns from the county conventions of yesterday, but it is denied that he has a majority, and it is stated the field will combine against him. The field includes ex-Governor McCreary, Judge James F. Tarvin, James D. Black, Judge Joseph H. Lewis, W. B. Smith and James B. Garneti. Chinese Routed at Last. London, July 17?A Shanghai dispatch, dated today, says "the allied forces resumed the attack on the Chinese walled city of Tien Tsin on Saturday morning, and succeeded in breaching the walls and capturing all the forts. The Chinese were completely routed. "The allies in the engagements on Thursday, Friday and Saturday were about eight hundred killed and wounded. The Russians and Japanese suffered the most." ' An Irou Monster. If Rudyard Kipling were to write the history of locomotive, "No. 846," which drew the train that figured recently in the Camp Creek (Ga.) disaster, he could produce a story far more weird than that of "No. .007." This notorious locomotive, "No. 846," which, thanks to fate, is at last beyond repair, was built in 1888. Since that time it has sent over fifty souls to their death. I The first accident in which the "hoodoo" engine figured was a collision with a farm wagon. Three people were killed. Another accident of a similar character in 1897 destroyed nine lives. So terrible was the record of the "ensanguined iron monster" that it was rechristened "No. 8ol" to break its ill luck. Even after this the earstwhile "No. 846" behaved no better. In 1898 it figured in a costly accident near Rome, Ga., and plunged down a 60-foot bluff into a river. Here it lay buried for several weeks, but it was ultimately rebuilt, only to end its career at the Camp Creek trestle, where two score souls were hurled to destruction. "Who would care to ride behind that engine, if it hadn't been irreparably smashed??Richmond Dispatch.

Kixostkke, July 11.?A little ginger was infused into the campaign meeting today. Barney Evans characterized a statement of \V. IX Evans as untrue. The latter sprang to his feet, hut immediately regained self-control. Barney shook his linger at \Y. 1). and it looked squally, hut the Marlboro game-cock kept cool under the terrible excoriation of his Edgetield namesake. Gary gaffed Patterson today. The latter is weakening and scattering shot. He said Gary evaded the liquor question at Charleston. Gary said the statement was absolutely false and if Patterson didn't have brains enough to understand Gary's position it was his misfortune. McSweeuey is ahead in this county. Patterson accused him of appointing a blind tiger on county board of control. MeSweenev disclaimed uower of at pointment, as legislative delegation elects them. Patterson told McSweeney to kick him out then. McSweeney said he has no authority. Iioyt and Gary contended over whether or not the latter had supported his present position in the legislature. Patterson's attack on McSweeney was characterized by the latter as silly, tiimsy and absurd. It fell flat today. IS IT RIGHT For an Editor to Recommend Patent Medicines i [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 a9 a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty 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 administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might he avoided, and in very many cases the presence of a physician wouid not be required. At least this has been onr experience during the past twenty years. For sale by ail druggists and medicine dealers. William E. Curtis, writiug to the Chicago Record, says: "Senator Tillman exercised a great influence in the couonH in*iv 1 antrc in inmor portance to Jones among the Democratic leaders. He will take an active pait in the management of the campaign and spend most of the summer and fall at Chicago. No man in either party has advanced so rapidly in prominence of late years as Mr. Tillmau. When he came to the senate four years ago he had only a local reputation, and that chiefly as the author of the dispensary law in South Carolina, but he is now a fullfledged public character, whose name and influence are known and felt in every State of the union." Was it a Miracle ? "The marvelous cure of Mrs. Rena J. Stout of consumption has created intense excitement in Cammaek, Ind.," writes Marion Stuart, a leadiug druggist of Muncie, Ind. She only weighed 90 pounds when her doctor in Yorktown said she must soon die. Then she began to use Dr. King's New Discovery and gained 37 pounds in weight and was completely cured. It has cured thousands of hopeless cases, aud is positively guaranteed to cure all throat, chest and lung diseases. .70c. and $1.00. Trial bottles free at Thos. Black, J. B. Black and Bamberg Pharmacy. A unique phase of the liquor license question has appeared af Marshfield, Mass., once the home of Daniel Webster. The town had for a long time been "dry," but at a recent election voted in favor o license, and the local authorities have proceeded to make the license fee $1,000, 000 a year. Nobody has come forward impressed with the idea that a place of 2,000 inhabitants can have a million dollar thirst. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great 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 ouly 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 for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J, CHENEV & CO., Toledo, O.

There is an organized prohibition movement here, and Hoyt will carry the county. He received an ovation at Florence last night. Gen. Floyd and Mr. Rouse have declared a truce until August 1. The abseutees today were Etheredge^ McMahau, Bellinger, Moore and Rouse. Mr. Capers made his accustomed speech. Barney Evans and Commissioner W. D. Evans became entangled up. W. D. Evans said that no honorable gentleman would do as Barney Evans does. The latter resented it, but W. D. Evans refused to notice him. Barney Evans said he would "see him later." Messrs. Jennings and Timmermau made the same speeches. Governor McSweeney was cordially received. Col. Hoyt made his best speech | today. There were none of the usual interruptions. Speaker Gary was pleasantly ! received. .Mr. Patterson closed amid cheers for Hoyt. He is trying to make | political capital out of a personal attack | on the editor of The State, and is the ! only candidate drawing partisan lines. Walt Whitman whooped the boys up as usual. There was a deplorable personal spat between Tillman and Livingston. Congressman Norton was not here. : He went to a picnic at Florence. Mr. Ellerbe made a good speech and !

Great numbers who reach relief camps are past help, and the very food the}' ravenously eat kills them. Children, orphaned or deserted, are picked up by scores as they wander. Terrible tales are told by eyewitnesses of these helpless little ones be ing devoured by dogs and jackals The cause of the famine is the failure of the monsoon rains from June to October last year. The farmers, who i ^,iI number 80 per cent of the population, I were already impoverished by the fam L I ine of 1897. Expenditure of every kind I was stopped; hence the laboring class \?. and artisans have had no work. The British government is relieving the situation by gratuitously feeding the intirin. the aged, the emaciated and the i ^ children. The ablebodied are employfj&fi.
