One of our largest advertisers said recently
that his space iu this paper paid
him better than several salesmen, and yet
it cost him much Jess. The reason is
plain : The Baubej&u Heraj.d reaches 1
the people, and those whose uamys are :
on its list pay for it and appreciate it.
They are the people who have money to
spend, and most certainly are the class a
man who has something to sell wants to
reach. ;
T. C. Rouis has just received ft large
stock of solid gold spectacles.
May Rice, a negro who was serving a <
term oo the fbaiugang for larceny, escaped
about two weeks ago through the

about daylight Sheriff Hunter was
awakened by some one who wanted to
see him and it was Rice. He told the
Sheriff he had come back to serve the remainder
of his sentence, and asked Mr.
Hunter to carry him out to the chaingang,
which he did. Rice said he couldn't
rest, that be felt like somebody was after
pf- Him all the time, ami that is why he came
back. Supervisor Kearse has made him
a "trusty" but Bose Hampton is now
wearing the shackles for assisting Rice
to escape.

A Sad Death.
Tuesday morning about 5 o'clock the
ipirit of Mabel Hill went home to i
leaven, to mother and to God. Death is
dways sad, but Mabel's was peculiarly so 3
or more reasons than one. She was
roupg, only 14 years old theSSth of Feb- t
nary last. But this is not all; it will be
'emembered, as already suggested above, 1:
hat Maliel's mother died a little more
hau a year ago. Mabel, being the oldest g
girl at home, this left her, so far as she
kvas able, to take her mother's place, and c
right well did she do it. Few girls of c
(ier age would have done it so well. Her
rourse since her mother's death would a
:iavc reflected credit on one- of riper
rears and exj?erit;ncp. She was quiet, I
steady and modest; a devoted daughter 1
md grand-daughter and an affectionate
dster. It really seems that she can ill be f
spared just now, but our Heavenly Father
and Friend has ordered it so, and He i
knows best.
Mabel was a consistent member of the s
Bamberg Baptist church, and was a quiet
unassuming, humble, Christian girl. So
that the family are not left to sorrow 3s s
those who have no hope, but may look
forward to the time when they can meet
her again in a better country than this.
May great grace be upon the sorrowing,
grief-stricken family. She was not sick i
long, but during thin short time she suffered
.more than tongue .can tell. Her ;
death was a surprise to the community
as it was not generally known that she :
was sick at all.
The fun.eral services took place in the
Baptist church uln,ut 11.30 o'clock yes- <
terday moruing in the presence of a luigp
concourse of friends. The services were i

Johnson, after which all that was mortal i
af M^bel Hill was laid to rest by the side <
of her mother jj) th<fcemetery, while the
grief-stricken family turned aw^y yith <
weeping eves and with bleeding hearts.
The pail-bearers were C. W. Rentz, V. J. i

SUMMARY PUNISHMENT.
How a Fiend Was Dealt With a Few
Days Ago. v
From most reliable sources wc learn
that summary punishment was inflicted
on a black fiend near Rowesville last Sunday
afternoon. The brute attempted to
assault a young white lady at Rowesville ?
Sunday morning. The family had gotten
up to go to Cattle Creek camp meeting, a
few miles away. The young lady, who ,

came at once. The negro fled, and the ,
young lady's friends, without any excite- 1
rnent, but with determination, pursued
and ran him down. Some of the crowd
wanted his life, but others thought
another plan better. The knife was used
in preference to the rope, and the scoundrel
was turned loose, as a warning to
others, after his ears had been marked
after the manner of branding hogs. The
negro's condition is said to be critical. 'I1
This is the second time he has been

exasperating, and he got off with 300 in
lashes on his back.
It is said that the father of the fiend tr
was present, and saw the work well done. a<
The would be ravishcr is about 21 years
of age. He has no one to blame for his
terrible plight but himself. It may be 111
well for all such fiends as this scoundrel w
to understand that the white men will if
certainly protect their women from the
fust of all such fiends at any cost.?

A Fiendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on C. F.
Collier, of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly
proved fatal. It came through his kidneys.
His back got so lame he could
not stoop without great pain, nor sit in
a chair except propped by cushions. No
remedy helped him until he tried Electric
Bitters which affected such a wonderful
change that he writes he feels like ,
a new man. This marvelous medicine J
cures backache and kidney trouble, purifies
the blood and builds up your health.

Kearsn News, I
Kkakse, October 1 .?If the happenings A
of this community were known only by
the space occupied iu your valuable
paper, they would form no part of our V
current history, but I will try and remedy ^
this.
The cotton crop is about gathered, and
as the Dresent croD is almost a failure *
the darkey will soon be out of work and
rations also I expect, as they have few
potatoes to depend on.
The numerous rows * negro hot suppers,
lias caused the i?.mers to forbid V
any such amusement on their plantations 1
hereafter. I think this a very good idea.
Our baseball team was to have played
its last game of the season with Colston
last Saturday, but they failed to come. \
This is twice they have disappointed us. '
What is the matter, boys? The fourth
nine won't hurt you.
By the way our boy* are buying new turnouts,
a great many of the girls will j
have either to say yes or 110 this fall.
Some of our enterprising young men
are thinking of going to Galveston on a
business and pleasure trip combined in a
few days.
Our Sunday school, under the able
superintendent)' of Mr. L. A. Brabham,
js dumg somp good work, but qeeds a ,
new library badly. Turn out friends, and /
help us get it. <
Mr. George Kearse's cross tie business
has grown to be quite extensive, as he "
now uas abput seventy-live cutters, and
cuts both pinp and cypress.
Mr. W. M. Kearse, one of our oldest e*
settlers, has been quite sick for several w
weeks. Hope he will soon be better. 0,
We hear it whispered about that orange pj
blossoms will soon bloom near here, qi
On account of the scarcity of fever and
other sickness in this neighborhood some
people think that the doctors are unlucky, s
but thev are not. ?
Mr. Jfno. Moye Brabham has taken Mr.
J. Frank Brabham's position on the
chain gang, temporarily.
On account of the extremely dry w
weather, a lot of damage has been dime 11
by fprest fires in this community. ei
Mr. W. L. Mitchum is making nine and B
a half bales on ten "res. rretty goop u
for this year.
All the farmers who tried the plan of
planting less and manuring higher, are
sp well pleased until the plan will be almost
universally adopted next year.

The Georgia Election, *
Atlanta, Ga., October :5.?Reports re- "
ceived from all parts of the State to
night indicate that the Democratic ma- a
jority in to-day's general election for 11
State House officers, members of the gen- _
eral assembly and local count}' officers
will be ahout 50.000. |
No opposition developing against the |
Democratic nominees, except in a few
counties where the Populist organization
is strongest, little interest was taken in
the election. In counties where the
Democratic strength was undoubted the f
vote was light, as the result of the out- jj
come of the election was pertain.
|n flm vhffihriol counties the result will *
not be known until all the precincts are a
heard from, which will require some
time, they being remote from communication.
There were no casualties attending
the election in any precinct thus far p
State House officers c
elected to-day are as follows: Governor, c
Allen p. Chandler; Secretary of state, c
Phil Cook; Attorney General, J. Ter- 0
fell; Comptroller General, W, A. Wright i .

Republicans of South Carolina.
Coumkia, Oct. ?To-night for the
first time since they were given the right
to vote, the negroes took entire control
of the Republican organization in the
State. E. II. Deas, a negro displaced R.
R. Tolhert, white, as chairman of the
State executive committee, and GVncral
Robert Smalls, negro, was re-elected vieeehairman
over .1. H. Wheeler, a white
man.
A State convention was called to nominate
presidential electors. J. II. Fordham
was elected chairman of the convention,
a position usually accorded a white
man. There were several hours of
wrangling before the organization was
effected. There were about 1*2 white delegates
and lf?0 negroes.
The following were nominated presidential
electors for the state-at-large:
Dr. W. D. (Turn, colored, Charleston,
and L. W. C. Blalock, white, Laurens.
For the several districts: George
Holmes, white; T. A. Owdom, colored;
T. W. Tolhert, white; II. 11. Felton, white;
R. P. Roberts, colored; M. K. Holloway,
