When to be a Republican means to favor negro postmasters, j negroes in the railway mail service, negro ? revenue officers, etc., it is a question ] whether there are any "decent Republi- J cans" in South Carolina. Are not these 5 things the product of a Republican ad- j ministration ? Does the Greenville News j think it is decent in a white South Caro- * linian to belong to a party which is respon- j sible for such results ? j < Are*we never going to get through j with creating offices in South Carolina ? j We notice that a bill is going to be introduced in the legislature providing for a ' county attorney or prosecutor, whose ] business it shall be to get up evidence in ] . criminal cases and to aid the solicitor in j other ways. There is absolutely 110 use 1 for such an official, and the legislatuie J should kill the bill as soon as it is pre- , sented. The solicitor is paid for this < work, and we have not heard of anv 1 solicitors complaining that their duties are too onerous. ? Politics are in a nice mess over in Ker- ' shaw county. Three primaries were had to nominate a sheriff, and now Mr. R. B. Williams, who was finally defeated by a majority of nineteen votes, is going to run in the general election. We know 1 Mr. Williams personally, and believe him to be an honorable, upright gentleman, and we are forced to the conclusion that, he believes he is right in this matter, 1 else he would not place himself in the rather embarrassing position of becoming 1 a candidate in the general election after his county Democratic executive com- 1 - mittee had decided against him. In the seemid nrimarv he received amaioritv of nine votes, and lie should have declined to enter a third race. It is really an unfortunate state of affairs, and one that all Democrats no doubt sincerely regret. Cemetery Association. Those interested in the formation of a new cemetery association have raised sufficient stock to apply for a commis sion, which will be done in a few days, and the new cemetery and park is a certainty. At the meeting Monday afternoon it was decided to apply for a commission and take steps to organize at once. The officers will be elected as soon as the law as to organizing is complied with. The money" for a park has been donated by city "council, or rather the town will own the park, which will comprise four acres, and be situated at the eud of Carlisle street.. The cemetery will be in the rear of the park. There is now a plan on foot to raise $250 among the lot owners of the old cemetery. The money will be turned over to the new cemetery fund, and both incorporated in one Association. This will insure the keeping up of the old cemetery, and the perpetuation of both for all time. All the lots in the old cemetery are sold and there is very little money on hand, and if 1 those, owning lots there will think over 1 t the matter we are sure they will decide that it will be very advantageous for them to go into the new association.

Wilson Hunter, died at the residence of her son, Mr. D. O. Hunter, in the Hartzog section last Wednesday afternoon, October 24tli, in the 88th ye iV of her age. The burial took place at Hunter's Chapel Thursday morning, and Dr. W. D. Rice conducted the services. Mrs. Hunter was born near Rivers's Bridge, on Three Mile creek, and lived in this county all her life. She was a Miss Hughes, and a sister of Messrs. Jacob and A. J. Hughes, both of whom now are sick. Her husband died in 1891, and was 88 : years old at the time of his death, both husband and wife living the same length of time. Mrs. Hunter had been in feeble health for some time, and about two weeks before her death she received a severe fall while out walking in the yard. The injuries received at that time no doubt hastened her death. While no bones were broken she was badly hurt by the fall. Deceased was a consistent member of the Baptist church, and had been connected with that church for many years. She was one of the oldest ladies "in the county. A large circle of friends and relatives are left to mourn lier death, she being the mother of Sheriff J. B., D. O., A. J., G. Martin, and H. R. Hunter. For several years past she had lived with her son, Mr. D. O. Hunter, where she died. Full of years of usefulness, she has gone to rest, and we, in common with the many"friends of the family, extend to the bereaved ones our sympathy.

J PAULINAS MURDERER HANDED. i Large and Curious Crowd Hangs Around the Jail. Ckanoebiuo, Oct. 26.?Warhy Wine teas hanged here today for the murder of EI. H. Paulling on December 17. is??s. Tlie execution occurred inside the jail md was witnessed by about 100 persons. Probably 1,000 were outside eagerly matching for the sign which told that mother man, whose hands were stained A ith human blood, had expiated his crime md the majesty of the law was vindicated. All arrangements were made beforeland, and nothing remained for Sheriff Dukes to do this morning but to carry >ut the sentence of the court. Many people who came from the surmiirutin ?r eonntrv were disaooointed ivhen they found out that the sentence of Major Green, who was also condemned ;o death, had been commuted by the governor. No doubt a great many were Attracted by the intended double hanging, something unusual. The condemned negro was attended before his end by Hew Jones, of Mt. Pisgah Baptist church, who baptized him on last Sunday. Sheriff Dukes was very liberal in his :ime allowance to the prisoner. Shortly ;>efore 1 o'clock the march from the cell ,o the gallows was commenced, the culprit joining with his spiritual adviser in ringing a bymn, which lasted some time ifter the place of the execution was cached. Rev. Jones made a few apj propriate remarks, after which the prisoner was given an opportunity to jpeak. He was perfectly cool and in possession of all of his faculties. He said ;liat he realized that he had only about ave minutes longer to live and would >oon be before his Maker, whom he felt Pad pardoned him and would receive him in heaven. He was guilty but had repented and had no fear of* the hereafter. After this a feeling and earnest prayer was offered by the minister. Just as the preacher said "amen" the trap was sprung ind simultaneously the prison clock struck the hour of one. The only hitch in the whole affair occured just as the trap was sprung. One of the man's feet caught in the rope which supported the trap and for nearly a minute he lay susl>ended by his feet and neck. The circumstance probably prevented las neck from being broken, as there was 114* 'drop." Death was caused by strangulation. In 14 minutes he was pronounced dead by Drs. Doyle and Jeffords, and in 2~> the body was cut down. The remains were interred by the county. THE STORY OF THE CRIME. Following is the story of the crime for which Wine was hanged and Green sent to prison for life. On the night of December IT, 1898, II. H. Pauling, a white man living near Fort Motte, in this county, was found mortally wounded in the road, some distance from the town. Suspicion pointed to Wine and Green as the guilty parties, so they were arrested and tried for the crime. The evidence was very strong, and Wine even confessed that on that night he and Green were going along the road, when they saw an object lying down some distance ahead of them* He (Wine) fired at said object, thinking it was sonic animal. He and Greene passed on without stopping. Paulling's watch was found in Green's possession, proving conclusively that the deceased had been robbed, as stated by him before his death. Green testified that the watch had been given him by Wine, but the evidence clearly showed that both were concerned in the robbery. Accordingly, both were convicted and sentenced to be hanged. The case was taken to the supreme court, which -sustained the verdict. The governor was then appealed to in behalf of the criminals, but he also refused to. interfere uutil yesterday, when Wine made a complete in \l'lli/>ll lit. ctOtwl ttl?t. tip IU TV U IV II UV k'VMVVx? ? ??? ? ? alone killed Faulting and Green had nothto do with it. Upon the strength of this confession Gov. McSweeney commuted Green's sentence and he (Green) was taken to Columbia hist night. The crime was an atrocious one, and it is doubtful to some minds that Green was not as guilt)' as the man who paid the penalty with his life.

The roll of the graded school continues to increase; new pupils enter nearly every day. There are now over one hundred and eighty in regular attendance. No teacher has more than ten recitations a day, and to some recitations nearly an hour is given, so that every pupil can be called upon, and also receive the l>enetit of all the time consumed in explanation and illustration. This is a great improvement on the country school plan, where one teacher has about forty, recitations and can give only a few miuutes to each. Also a recitation in mathematics take ; up much time, and as the teacher has to rush and get through all the recitations, the pupils receive very little instruction and make poor progress in this subject. Frequently pupils enter the graded school, far advanced in the other branches but with only a slight knowledge of the first four principles of arithmetic. The aim of the graded school is to have a gradual advancement in every branch. T. B. Felder K. i'. Kice T. H. Jackson J La/ Copeland. Miss Olio Copt*.

Yarnvii.le, Oct. 24.?A shocking acci- j dent occurred at Nixville, seven miles f from here, yesterday morning about 5 ] o'clock, at the saw mill of Mr. K. Long, when Mr. Joe Mixon and a son of Mr. ? Long were killed. Very early in the morning Mr. Mixon and young Long fired up the engine and went to sleep. s Soon after the boiler exploded, killing ; Mixon instantlv. blowins?his head off. and r fatally injured Long, who died at 11 \ o'clock. There were no others near the ] mill at the time of the explosion. ( later particulars. i Hampton, October 26.?The following particulars have been learned in reference to the lJonnett or (Nixville) saw mill ' boiler explosion, which took place 011 the I earlv morning of ths 23d inst: At 3 A. M. Joseph Mixsou, aged 20, and Judson Long, aged 13, tired up the engine, to be 1 in readiness for a full day's sawing, that ' being their part of the work. 1 At 4 o'clock the whistle blew, which indicated that they were ready to work. A few minutes before 0 o'clock the explosion took place, which was heard for several miles, alarming the neighborhood. 1 Men hastened to the mill, where a heart- ] rendering spectacle was presented. The 2 boiler had burst, the mill shed was shat- ) tered and there was no trace of the boys, i After a few minutes' search little Judson ! was found, still alive, but with his vitals 1 torn out. A further search in the debris I resulted in finding the headless, fearfully i mangled body of Joseph Mix^on. Judson 1 was taken to his heartbroken mother's house, where, after receiving the attention ! of a physician, he died at 11 o'clock the same morning. He was entirely conscious ( and resigned, feeling assured that death ' was inevitable. [ As to the cause of the explosion Judson | said that when they had got up steam and J had acquired two gauges of water they shut ofl^the pump and sat down, after | which he dropped off to sleep and supposed that Mixson did likewise. That was the last he knew of anything until he found himself in his mother's arms after the explosion. The supposition is that there was an over-pressure of steam, which caused the boiler to burst. The fire-box was thrown thirty feet | one way and the other end of the boiler was thrown about 150yards the other way, breaking through a frame house twenty feet long. The interment of both boys took place on Wednesday. The loss financially is estimated af $500. That Throbbing Headache. Would quickly leave you. if you used I)r. Kings New Life Pills.

In Hagerstown, Md., some days ago, a republican merchant, in order to give his ticket a lift, added that sentence to his order to a New York firm. The firm being also Republican, published his letter to show how the chance of Bryan's election threatened business. The pub lished letter got back to Hagerstown, and the Democratic customers of the merchant promptly proceeded to cancel their orders without waiting for election. The amateur mercantile politician, who never dreamed of such a disastrous ending of what lie thought a "legitimate" campaign dodge, is now finding that a campaign dodge, in the hands of an amateur, is a two-edged sword.?Richmond Dispatch.
