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.

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.

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 should see that there is no dodging.
v-\ Questions of great importance will come
I before the next legislature for settlement,

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. Let the campaign
be one of measures, not men, and vote for
the man who most thoroughly represents
f|r your views. We feel sure that all the

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.

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.

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

Gary gaffed Patterson today. The latter

said Gary evaded the liquor question at
Charleston. Gary said the statement was

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.

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,

impressed with the idea that a place of
2,000 inhabitants can have a million dollar

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
