Thursday, September 6, 1900. ?McSweeney only lacked 7,000 votes of being nominated for governor at the lirst primary over four competitors. This seems to show that the printergovernor is strong with the people. m We want to see Bamberg county give practically a'solid vote for W. D. Evans for railroad commissioner in the primary next Tuesday. We have known him all our life, and know him to be an honest, high-toned gentleman, eminently worthy of the support of every good citizen. In our opinion there should be little difficulty in making a choice between Jno. T. Sloan and Jas. H. Tillman for lieutenant governor. McSweeney might die, and of course in that event Tillman woul be governor. We hope to see Bamberg county give a good majority to Sloan for the reason that we believe he is decidedly the best man for the position. The cotton market at Bamberg is surely on a boom, and the prices paid here are higher than elsewhere. The market was strengthened Tuesday by two more buyers, one of whom represents Sprunt & Sons. There is lively bidding on the la platform these days, and our farmer W-'., . friends can rest assured of getting the very top of the market for their staple. There appears to be something in a I name alter all, and a special cnarm aooui the name Tillman in South Carolina. C Mr. Blease, in a colloquy with Jim Tillman at this place campaign day, re; -. marked that he (Blease) had "no chaperon in this race," and the vote at the recent primary for lieutenant governor would indicate that Blease knew what he was |p talking about. Some newspapers in the State are threatening Charleston because the people of that county will not vote for Hoyt instead of McSweeney. We must say that this is carrying politics too far, and is an attempt at dictation which ought to be resented. If Charleston wants to vote for McSweeney she sholud be allowed to do so M ithout threats of withdrawing support of the Exposition. It is as reprehensible to attempt to coerce the vote of a community as of an individual. The second race for governor is between McSweeney and Hoyt. McSweeney represents the dispensary, Hoyt prohibition. This county is strongly in favor of ^the dispensary, and every voter who believes that this is the best method of handling whiskey should turn out next Tuesday and vote for McSweeney for 0' governor. There is no doubt about it, the sentiment in South Carolina is overx whelmingly in favor of the dispensary, and we who believe it should settle the I question once Tor all. This tnmg or Having a fight on the question every two years is utter foolishness, and the dispensary advocates should turn out next Tuesday and show the prohibitionists that there is no use to longer discuss the question. The Official Count. The state Democratic executive committe met in Columbia Thursday night to tabulate the returns from the recent pri!The total vote for governor was 92,429; treasurer, 91,198; comptroller general, 91,491; superintendent of education, 91,811, adjutant general, 99,864; railroad cohimisssioner, 90,624.

Comptroller general?Derham, 69,699; Brooker, 21,792. Adjutant and inspector general?Flovd 76,634; Rouse, 14,230. Senator Tillman received 73,679, which was a great deal more than a two thirds vote. McSweeney took the lead for governor from the start, and the official count gave him a lead of 5,263 votes over Hoyt, his v strongest competitor. The official returns have placed John T. Sloan in the second race against J. H. Tillman, for lieutenant governor. Cooper for secretary of state, Bellinger for attorney general, Jennings for treasurer, Derham for comptroller general, McMahan for superintendent of educa. tion, and Floyd for adjutant and inspector general were declared nominated. The second primary will be held on September 11. The committee elected the presidential electors. The following were elected: First District?M. W. Simmons. Second District?M. W. Williams.

Patrick, principal of the Military Institute, died suddenly at his home in Anderson last week. He was born and reared near here, and the following sketch of his life will prove interesting to his many friends and acquaintances in this community; Col. John B. Patrick was born and reared on a farm m Baruwen conniv, o. C., not far from the town of Bamberg. His father, John M. Patrick, was uncompromising in his opposition to all games of chance and to the habitual use of ardent spirits, and he lost no opportunity to impress his views upon the mind of his son. That hejsucceeded in this, all who know the son will abundantly testify. In "his youth there was a good school in his father's neighborhood known as Fishpond academy. At this school the deceased aud other young men were prepared for college. " Instead of going to college, however, as did several of his class, of whom Hon. J. F. Izlar was one, he entered the South Carolina Military Academy, where he graduated in November 1855. In February, 185(1, he became a tutor in the Furman University, and at the same time prosecuted the studv of Latin and Greek under Prof. P. C. Edwards. At the meeting of the board of visitors of the South Carolina Military Academy in December, 1858, lawas elected assistant professor of mathematics at the Arsenal Academy at Columbia, witli the rank of second lieutenant in the battalion of State cadets. In January, 1859 he assumed the duties of this position, and in October, 1861, he was made professor of mathematics, ami promoted to the rank of first lieutenant. During the war he served the state and the Confederacy in connection with the battalion of State cadets. He also compiled much valuable information relative to the South Carolina Military Academy, which was published in condensed form in the official register of that institution for 1864, and has since been revised and published in Col. John P. Thomas' sketch of the South Carolina Military Academy. After the war he opened a private school in Greenville S. C., and was making it a success, when in July, 1866, he was, without solicitation on his part, i\f thp nrpnaratorv de ClCV/t^U |/ilUV4|'W? V* J partment of Furmaii Universit)'. This position he held until July, 1869, and then resigned to take charge of the "Peabody School" at Greenville. When the Peabody fund was withdrawn a year later, he organized the "Greenville fligh School." In 1878 he converted this into the "Greenville Military Institute" and enlarged the curriculum so as to meet the wants of the great majority of young men preparing for the active duties of life, in order to secure buildings better suited for his purposes, he moved the institute to Anderson, S. C., in 1877, and changed the name to "Patrick Military Institute." Since he has been there he has met with fnarked military success. In 1859 he married Miss M. Louisa Goodlet, of Greenville, S. C. Of their ten children, seven are living. Five of these have received a liberal "education. Haw's This.'

Sacred to the memory of Hugh T. Morris, son of W. H. and E. L. Morris, born November 22, 1888, and fell asleep in Jesus August 17,1000. While we grieve to part from one so gentle, kind, and amiable as Hugh, yet we sorrow not as those who have no hope, for we are quite sure that our loss is infinite gain to him. While tender in years, yet he possessed the ripeness of faith, sobriety and devotion of an aged christian. Five years ago he professed faith in Jesus, and was buried with his Saviour in baptism into the fellowship of Bethel Baptist Church in Jefferson county, Ga., by the writer of this sketch. From the time of his union with the church to the day of his departure he was a faithful, consecrated, and consistent member, adorning his profession of Godliness by an orderly walk and Godly conversation. He frequently announced his readiness to meet his Lord at any time. Though young in years and modest in disposition, he never refused to lead in public prayer or to do anything in the name of God that he was called upon to do bv his bretheren. To the bereaved parents, brothers, sisters, and host of relatives and friends in his uative state, South Carolina, we would say: Grieve not at Hughey's departure, but strive to live in emulation of his " - * - -1 1 youtlilul consecration ana iuuuauu uictv him where separation shall be no more and where sorrowing and sighing shall tiee away. "Rest, dear Hughey, rest, from toil on earth below, saved among the blest, planted in Heaven to grow." We cannot do justice to such a subject with our feeble pen, but desire to drop these few words to the sorrowing ones to be kept as a memento 'till we all meet in that beatiful haven of everlasting rest.

In all treatment of a sick dog remember you are dealing with a highly sensitive and nervous oatlent. Be very gentle, avoid roughness or anything likely to alarm him. In giving hfcn any liquid medicine do not open his mouth,, but, placing him between your knees, with his face locking in the same direction as your own, gently raise his Jaw and, pulling his lips away from bis teeth on one side of his mouth, to form a cup or funnel, very slowly pour from bottle or spoon the quantity he is to have into it Keep his head raised for a minute or two and if he does not swallow tho dose insert a spoon between his front teeth. This will have the effect of drawing off his attention from tho medicine and he will usually swallow at once. If the dose is a pill, bolus or anything solid, hold his head the same way as before mentioned, but with the left hand under lower jaw, press firmly on each side with thumb and finger at the junction of upper and lower Jaws. This will usually cause him to open his mouth, when the dose should be put into the mouth as far back as possible over the tongue (or he will spit it out) and close the jaws somewhat sharply, and in most cases the deed la done. If any trouble arises with the action of his front paws this may be got over by wrapping him round with a shawl or coarse apron. When once you have got into the way of it, you will be surprised how simple It Is. I am quite sure a practiced owner or kennelsman would dose a dozen dogs while a novice was making a bungle over one.?"All About Dogs," by Charles Henry Lane. THE COLLAR BUTTON. Its Blessings Realised Only by Those Who Have Lived Without It. "In looking over a trunk full of old truck the other day," said the elderly man, "I can^e across a lot of old shirts with the buttons sewed on, and as I looked at them I realized anew what the collar button means to humanity. There have been greater inventions, surely. but not many that have conferred a more unmixed blessing on mankind. "The younger person of today, accustomed to the collar button always, cannot realize what it was to be without it. He can never know what it was to have shirts with the buttons sewed ou?or not. as the case might be. Not so very many years ago. when the collar button was yet comparatively uew. before persons had come to keep, as everybody commonly does now, a lot of buttons on hand, the man who had lost his collar button thought himself entitled to the sympathy of his fellows, but wrung as he might be by that loss he could not even guess at the anguish that in the sewed on button days filled the heart of the man who. when he came to put ou his last clean shirt, found that key button, the one on the collar band, most important one of all, gone entirely or only Just hanging by a thread!

Anxious to Become an Angel, but There Were Drawback*. [Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.] Mr. Gallup had finished his supper, removed his coat and shoes and sat down in the rocking chair to read the copy of The Chemung County Gazette he had brought home from the postoffice when Mrs. Gallup dropped dovn on the lounge with a sigh and began: "Samuel, if you could spare a dyin woman three or four miuits of your time I should like to talk to you. I know you don't like to be bothered when you are readin, and I wouldn't say a word if it was only a bile 011 my leg or one of my back aches, but it's more serious than that, Samuel?rur more serious." Mr. Gallup stretched his legs out to their fullest extent and made his toes crack, but he never looked up from his paper. "I don't want to give you no sudden shock," continued Mrs. Gallup as the tears began to stream down her cheeks and her nose to twitch, "but it's my duty to tell you, so you kin prepare yourself. Samuel, you'll be a widow before Saturday night! Tonight is Tuesday night Before sundown on Saturday night the funeral will be over, I'll be an angel, and you'll be free to go out somewhere every evenin and play checkers. Do you hear me, Samuel?" Mr. Gallup may or may not have heard her. but if he did he paid not the slightest attention. "Yes; I've got my call to go," she resumed as she -wiped her eyes on her "SPARE A DYIN WOMAN THREE OB pdbi I WINIT8." apron. "I've had rheumatlz, fever, consumption and heart disease, and many and many a time I've expected to go, but 1 have never felt like this before. My heart goes tunk, tunk, tuuk, my lungs seem to be hitchin around, and now and then my breath shuts off ou me the same as if I had got caught in a hole in the fence. Mrs. Watkins was took this very way before she died, and so was Mr. Comfort It may come tonight, or it may be delayed till tomorrer, but within a day or two I'll be au angel. You won't blame me fur dyin, will you. Samuel?" Mr. Gallup turned his paper over, pulled in his feet and crossed his legs, but made no reply. "Folks can't help dyin, Samuel?that Is. I can't I hate to go before I've made the soft soap and put up the fall pickles, but I can't help myself. It was so with Mrs. Watkins. She had j ^11 tUe soap grease an reaay auu was hii ready to dye rags fur a new carpet, but when Gabriel's born sounded she had to spread her wings. You'll miss the soft soap, Samuel, fur you're a great hand to wash up, and you'll miss the pickles, fur you love sour things, but will you miss me?" Mr. Gallup held the paper In his left band and reached down his right to scratch his heel through his sock, but he was dumb. Mrs. Gallup looked at him through her tears for a time and then choked down a sob and said: "Well, If you don't miss me I cau't help It I've alius had hot water ready when you wanted to wash your feet and you've never found me without stIckJn salve fur sore fingers. I've nursed you through colic and sot up with you through fever. You've never had to tell me my bread was heavy or the biscuit tasted of saleratus. And when I'm laid away. Samuel, you'll remember that I wore the same bonnet and shawl fur 21 years and that I alius made a pair of shoes last three years. Haven't I done purty well all things considered?" Mr. Gallup might have agreed with her, but if he did he didn't say so aloud. He crossed his legs the other way and scratched the other heel, and when Mrs. Gallup could restrain her tears she observed: "I ain't leavin this house the way some wives would, SamueL When I am gone, you'll find your shirts and socks and everything in the usual place, and you won't have to sew on a button. I'll even scald out the teapot and scour out the dishpan if I have time. If angels can look down from heaven, then I want to look down and see that I've left everything in order. I want to ask you about angels. SamueL Are they all old or young angels, or are they sorter mixed up? Will I be set back 30 or 40 years, or will I be an old woman angel?" She looked directly at Mr. Gallup and waited for a reply, but he was reading how to make a hammock out of a flour barreL and he paid no heed to the question. "And are all angels purty. Samuel?" she continued after awhile. "I've never been purty since I was a baby and fell out of the winder, but if I've got to be an angel 1 want my face made over as soon as I get up there. I'm not goin to be p'inted our fur my homeliness as I fly around. If I was. 1 know I'd make up faces at some of 'em Will 1 be changed in the twinklin of an eye and made as purty as the rest of 'em?" Something like a smile flitted over the face of Mr. Gallup, but it was probably caused by the article he was reading. "And about the music, Samuel? I can't play on no harp without lessons. I have never even seen a harp. When we was first married, I used to play on the accordion fur you, but it was awful poor playiu, and you soon got sick of it. Is it goin to be expected that I kin fly right up to heaven and begin playln on a harp the very first thing? If it is, then I dunno as I want to die. I never could a-bear havln folks laugh at me. And the singin, Samuel?the singin! My voice is crack-1 ea, ana I sing tnrougn my nose, ana 19 that goin to do up there? I s'pose I could walk around with a robe on and talk and visit, but I can't sing nor play, and they needn't expect it. Samuel, shall we talk about whether you'd better take a second wife or not? Sometimes I think you had, and sometimes I think you hadn't. What do you think?" Mr. Gallup turned from the hammock article to one on natural gas in Ohio, and he extended his legs again n a i ii .iY t i ' and prepared to digest It" thoroughly. It might have occurred to him that Mrs. Gallup was In the room and that she or some one else was talking to him. hut he answered not. Ten minutes had gone by when he finished the article and looked up and around as if he had suddenly missed something. Mi's. Gallup lay curled up on the lounge fast asleep, and In the cor- ! ner of each eye still glistened a big tear. M. Quad. HER "SUSPICION CURE." It Made Life One Lingering Honey* uioon For Mr*.

Instead of asking him to remain at home I urged him to go to his club.. The way he raised his eyebrows the first time I suggested It showed me I was on the right tack, and I resolved to keep It up. One night when he came home for dinner he announced that he had a severe headache and would remain home for the evening. I opposed the idea and pointed out that an evening at his club would cause him to forget his headache and do it good. He gave me a hard look, but acted on the suggestion and left for his club. Something told me that he would be back within an hour, so I made an elaborate toilet and waited for him to return.

It has been found on study of 300 cases of loss of hair that baldness prevails most with unmarried men, which is contrary to the general belief. The worries of the bachelor may be fewer, but they are more trying to the scalp than are the multitudinous cares of the man of family. Most bald people are found to lead indoor lives, and almost all of them belong to the intellectual class. Usually the lofs of hair begins before the thirtieth year. In woman it usually constitutes a general thinning; in men it affects the top of the head. Diseases that affect the generul nutrition of the body are likely to thin the hair. Heredity Is a factor. If one has baldheaded ancestors, all the drugs of the pharmacopoeia will not bring out flowing locks. ?Argonaut. Poor to One. An English officer in Malta stopped in riding to ask a native the way.
