All tbis talk about reorganizing the
Democratic party is the greatest "rot" 1
we have heard of lately. The idea of re- ,
organizing a part}' that cast the great i
number of votes the Democrats did in the '
recent election is highly ridiculous. j
_ ^
Bryan is a wonderful man. He may '
never be president, but he is without 1
doubt the greatest living American. Although
defeated, his sun has not set by
any manner of means, and he will still >
be a factor in the affairs of the nation.
m
We confidently expect the organization
of a white Republican party in South {
Carolina within the next few years. Too 1
many of our people looked with favor on '
McKinley in the recent election, and they
can hardly wish or expect to keep com- ]
pany with the Democratic party much '
longer. '
And Kershaw is to have a candidate
for one of the judgeships. Senator J. T. ;
Hay, "at the urgent request of his friends, ]
has decided to be a candidate for the (
judgeship of the fifth judicial cir- j
cuit, to succeed Judge Ernest Gary, whose >
term of office expires this winter." Evi- j
dently there is to be no lack of candidates, ,
and we hope the legislature will elect j
good lawyers and good men. 1
It is claimed that $5,000 of the shortage \
of the late Allen F. Free, as treasurer of i
Barnwell county, belonged to the school
fund. If such be the case, and we have ]
no reason to doubt the correctness of the j
figures, Bamberg county should receive \
her proportionate share of the amount, as !
the money has been paid back to Barnwell
county. We do not know what ]
steps have been taken by our officials to 1
recover Bamberg's share of the fund, but '
the matter should be attended to without )
delay. We understand that this county's <
proportionate part of the fund would be 1
$1,600 or thereabouts, which would be of J
great benefit to our schools. We hope j
those whose duty it is will take prompt 1
.action. j
A few newspapers in South Carolina <
have lately been devoting some of their <
space to the politics of John L. McLau- (
rin, our junior U. 8. senator, his cliances
: of re-election, etc. In the meantime Mr.
McLaurin is laying low and saying noth- .
ing, and this discussion at the present i
time is decidedly out of place. But then 1
V"* there is a motive behind it all. A certain
clique in South Carolina politics have a j
candidate for the place, and if they succeed
in discrediting Mr. McLaurin's Dem- 1
ocracy so much the better for their man. ]
But they will hardly succeed. McLaurin !
may not be re-elected, but there will no
doubt be some surprises when the cam- \
paign opens. No politician is going to
have the right of way in this race, and ,
ti there may be several candidates in the '
field.
vS'; Sam Jones on the Eleefion.
Sam Jones, the evangelist, says:
"The Presidential election has gone
just as the intelligence of this country J
predicted that it would go. The business
Interests of the country has gone steadily ;
on "in spite of the canvass and it will *
keep going steadily on because the election
has gone just as the business men of ,
this country steadfastly believed it would
go.
"It seems to me now that there is but
one party in this country, that is the Republican
party. Then there is the opposition
party and it seems that everything
net Republican belongs to the opposition
party, such as Democrats, Populists,
Grcenbackers, Free Silverites, disgruntled
Republicans, communists, etc.
"I want it distinctly understood that I
was neither for Bryan nor McKinley?I
- - voted for Wooley. I am going to vote
like I pray, or quit voting or praying one.
I like Bryan personally; I've got nothing
'gin McKinley.
' "Mr. Bryan is a brainy, bright, splendid
man; I am sorry for him. He'll run no
more forever, but he done some tall running
the two times he was at it. I am
sorry the legislature of Nebraska is not
Democratic so that he would be elected
to the Senate. We need .him in the
Senate perhaps worse than we need him g
in the White House. "
"Things will move along in the busi- J
' *' - ness world without let or hindrance, j
- The Democrats will take their defeat A
gracefully; really they are getting so t
used to be defeated, that they have learned t
how to take it gracefully" I don't be- (
lieve one-tenth of the lies that Democrats t
have told on Republicans or that Repub- {
licans have told on Democrats. McKin- ?
ley had a load to carry when he shoul- ^
dered Hanna, but I knew when Bryan s
shouldered Dick Croker that he would be ]
bow-legged before he got half way to the s
White "House?it looked to me" like a j
rhinoceros astride of a billy goat. ]
"Really when you put the Democratic 1
gang and the Republican gang in a bag j
and shake them up good, I'll venture the
hrst one that jumps will be the red nosed
rascal or a dirty politician. If the devil
don't have things in good shape when
that crowd gets "there the politicians of
New York and Philadelphia will soon ]
bave him out of his job and Croker or ]
Quay one running that country."?At- 1

True Help.
A story of our civil war has embalmed i
the memory of an unknown army chaplain
who preached Christ without words. |
The chaplain came upon a soldier lying
wounded 011 a battlefield, and seeing that
the end was near, said*,'1 Would you like me j
to read you something from the Bible V" ,
But all the wounded soldier could answer
was, "I'm so thirsty ! I would rather (
have a drink of water.'.' ,
The chaplain quickly fetched him some
water, and then, when the soldier asked
for something under his head, he took off ,
his own overcoat and rolled it up to .
make a pillow. .
"If I only had something over me!"
moaned the soldier. "I'm so cold." In
a moment the chaplain had taken
off his undercoat to cover the sufferer, 1
and as he was doing so the dying man ;
looked up in his face and said: 1
"If there is anything in your book .
which makes a man do for another what
you have done for me, let me hear it." <

was recorded in the State to-day. It wil
be remembered that Carroll wasaequitte
of the homicide of James Bolen, whil
James Bolen was in turn acquitted ofth
homicide of young Merritt. A Strang
fatality seems to have hung over each o
the acquitted parties throughout this Ion
chain of horrors. Five murder eases ar
yet to be tried at this term, limited to tw
weeks, so little or no civil business wil

Dog Saves Life of a Child.
From Saunders county, Nebraska
somes a story of the remarkable fidelity
md almost human forethought of a shep
lerd dog, which for nineteen hour
piardcd a wandering babe which was ou
ill night in a terrific rain and win<
itorm.
The 2i-year-old child of Fred Baltz, Jr
vandered away from the farm house an<
when Mrs. Baltz missed the child she
litched up an old horse to a sulky ani
irove rapidly to the field where her hus
?nd was threshing. The whole force o
hreshers immediately volunteered tc
oin in the search. Mr. Baltz sent tin
nen to a neighbor's and asked their as
(istance. Everybody responded and a:
he searching party spread out each mem
)er requested aid of every man he met
io that by midnight there were more thai
ifty men searching the hills and dales ii
he neighborhood of the Baltz farm. A1
light long, during which, at intervals, tin
'ury of the storm seemed to baffle the ef
'orts of the strong men, the search wai
continued, but the little one eluded even
nember of the party.
Not until 1 o'clock the next day wai
he search for the child rewarded." Sit
ing up against the sheltering bank of :
ireek, wet, shivering and bedraggled, tin
;hlid was found. By its side stood tin
hepherd dog, who a vear or more hai
ittended the flocks on"Baltz's farm. Tin
aithful animal could not be induced tc
eave the child at the request of the mar
vlio first approached, who was a strange:
o the dog, and for a few minutes he con
ested the right of the man to touch tin
hild. After a careful survey he fount
hat the child had been dragged from ai
exposed point near the creek, up under ;

A Plea for the Apple.
The "time of the apple" is here.
It has once more taken its right fu
place as the autumn stand-by after tin
profusion of summer fruit is" past; am
the wise housewife now gives it a promi
nent place?both raw and cooked ii
various forms?in the daily bill of fare
It evidently takes the Germans to fulh
appreciate this fruit, however, for accord
ing to a recent translation, a Germai
writer says: "The apple is such a coin
tnon fiuit that few persons are familia
with its remarkable efficacious medicina
properties. Every body ought to knov
that the very best thing one can do is t<
<?-it inst. bnfnre iroiner to bed.
J o c
"The apple is excellent brain food b?j
cause it has more phosphoric acid in ai
easily digestible shape than any othe
fruit known. It excites the action of th
liver, promotes sound and healthy sleej
and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. I
also agglutinates the surplus acids of tli
stomach, helps the kidney secretions am
prevents calculus growth, while it ohvi
ates indigestion, ami is one of the bes
preventatives of diseases of the throat
Next to the lemon and the orange, it i
also the best antidote for the thirst am
craving of persons addicted to the alcolio
and opium habit."
Did you ever dream that such wonder
ful cure-all properties were to be foum
in our common apples, which are so sel
jom appreciated as an article of diet
What if the German idea is somewhat exaggerated,
they certainly possess enougl
good qualities to convince us that it wil
pay to economize, if necessary, on sonn
jther food supply and lay in a good stocl

SOlTHERX YARN MILLS

f Ciiaki.ottk. N. Nov. 11 ?The great
I, majority of the yarn mills of the South
II have entered into the plan of controlling
d the sale of their products by especially
e appointed agents. Mills representing an
e aggregate of 405,907 producing spindles
e have signified their agreement to the now
if famous concentration plan proposed by
g the special committee and endorsed by
e the board of governors of the Southern
o Cotton Spinners' Association. The oh
!1 ject of tlic plan is the selling of Southern
cotton yarns be placed in the hands of a
e limited number of Northern commission
*, merchants?ten or eight?with a view to
e the reduction of selling costs and the pret
vention of speculation in the product of
i- Southern yarn mills by the middleman or
g commission merchant,
s The fact that mill men representing so
\ great a number of spindles, practically
e insures the success of the plans of the

The Mind a Heaven or Hell.
In a discussion on the mind influencing
the body or the condition of the mind
shaping our surroundings, I deduced the
following thoughts:
Y'ears ago a gifted minister of the gospel
remarked that the mind could be
, one's Heaven or hell?that "outward
things are to the mind just what the mind
j is to itself." I pondered this for a long
- time and eventually concluded he must
be right. If it t>e it's own hell, the things
s and objects of life are instruments of
vexation and torture. If it is it's own
; Heaven, earth becomes an eden.
The difference between such conditions
' arises from the fact, that if the mind is
alive to misery and discontent, the soul
becomes a laboratory to create woe and
diffuse it into the atmosphere surround11
ing that life. If the mind, on the con^
trary, is sensitive only to the beautiful
11 and potent influences; imbibes only sub\
lime and lofty ideas, the soul becomes a
0 receptacle for only the sweets and beaur
ties of life. Take the lirst proposition,
^ in'*. tln? mi ml it'e n\rn hell Place it.
r upon the basis that "outward tilings are
to the mind, what the mind is to itself."
The sky may be full of sunshine, tilling
the land with warmth and kaleidoscopic
beauty, myriads of flowers may bloom in
gorgeous shades giving nature an enhancing
aspect, and exhaling delicious odors.
" Feathered songsters from the depths of
, the green forests may carol songs that
1 melt in a cadence, man can never imitate.
\ Yet if all this appeals to a mind darkened
\ and discontented, it is all lost; "the flower
js blushes unseen and wastes it's sweetness
011 the desert air," God's handiwork?yea
I* omnipotence becomes a wilderness of
woe!
'* A stiking illustration of this is found
lr in the history of Cleopatra, the Egyptian
= queen, the venus of Roman kingdoms,
whose symmetry and l>eauty has eclipsed
J all feminine "stars." Read of her wealth
. and surroundings, of Marc Antony and
\ Octavius Caesar's devotion?then recall
^ the fact she was a wretched woman, and
1 her unhappiness finally caused her igno2
minious death?suicide. We need not
B go to ancient history for these illustra^
tions; look in every part of the earth and
e we find souls living in wretchedness
r whose life affords every comfort. The
1 mind is wrong?it creates the hell they
grope in!
Now the second proposition: Turn the
phantasmagorial light and look at the
pictures reflected of souls living in a
heaven while their surroundings are dark
and dreary. Let's look at John Bunyan
s while he is imprisoned in Bedford jail
r for his religion. Is he wretched? No,
he wields an inspired pen and gives to
,r the world the grandest of allegories. He
lifts the burden from hundreds of souls
and teaches them the way to salvation
e over every difficulty. Glance at Milton,
undaunted by his blindness and domestic
e troubles and agree with me that his
e poems, though written by an amanuensis,
1 have fired the enthusiasm of generations.
He saw nature's beauties through a beau'
tiful mind.
t I could dwell here for hours; countless
illustrations come to my mind, but time
^ forbids. I refer hastily to one of our beloved
poets, who visited the Alps and being
overtaken bj* a terrible thunderstorm,
stood in his admiration to watch the
beauties of nature while she spent her
wrath. In his soul he created these
, thoughts : "Oh storm of darkness ye are
J wondrous strong, but beautiful in your
strength."
s Lastly, recall the myriads of souls in
t your own knowledge, who daily fight dis1
ease, poverty, affliction?yes, even worse
than these?carry broken hearts, and yet
. are happy in contemplation of Heaven.
1 Their lives are beautiful because their
' minds diffuse love and charity.

Smiled in the Heath Chair.
Columbus, 0., Nov. 12.?Richard Gard5
ner was put to death here and his death
. suggests a new means of taking from
i murderers the terror of the death chair.
> Gardner entered the death chamber with
j a smile upon his face and took the chair
I in as firm a manner as though he were
? sitting down to a meal. The change in
) the man's manner from abject fear to ini
difference is explainable on the theory
r that Gardner had been subjected to a slow
. process of hypnotic suggestion carried on
? for about two weeks by which he had
1 attained the belief that lie was being sent
i directly to heaven.
i About two weeks ago under the influence
of the prison chaplain Gardner was
1 induced to make a full confession but
r first made a contract with a local news<
paper by which he received *35 for tell1
ing it. At that time he was an example
. of the hardened criminal and told with
l> a smile the details of his murder of a
L* thirteen-year-old girl. Since then he has
been practically under the control of the
chaplain, who led Gardner to believe that
his soul was saved by the confession, so
that he approached the chair without a
, tremor.
' Before the electric current was turned
? on he read a few verses from the Bible.
His imitation of the voice and manner of
the chaplain who stood directly in front
1 of him was not noticeable, and it is be;
lieved that his reading was the direct re'
suit of suggestion, as Gardner was illiterate.
When asked if he had anything to
say lie replied "God is love." He had the
' appearance of being in a hypnotic trance.

LINCOLN'S DIAMOND.
Carolina Man Wears It?The History
of the Jewel that Belonged to the
President.
Colonel W. N. Cave, of Barnwell, S. C.,
is in possession of a unique relic in the
shape of a diamond pin which was at one
time the property of Abraham Lincoln,
and which is the only similar piece of
jewelry that President Lincoln ever wore.
The pin is of the old fashioned style of
cluster brooches with a clasp at the back
for the purpose of securing it to the frilled
shirt fronts worn by gentlemen fifty
years ago. The center diamond is a
large, particularly white one and is surrounded
by a number of smaller brilliants.
The pin has a strange history. Some
vears before the war and nrior to the
time that Abraham Lincoln was beginning
to loom up as presidential possibility,
while practicing law in Illinois, he
met a young dandy from New York
whose sporting proclivities had caused
him to run short of funds. The young
fellow came to Lincoln for assistance,
and left with him as security for a loan a
handsome diamond pin. For some reason
he never returned to redeem the pledge
and from that day Lincoln did not again
see him,
Abraham Lincoln was naturally a man
of quiet taste in matters of dress, and seldom
wore jewelry of any kind whatever.
However, his accidental possession of a
line ornament proved a temporary temptation
to adorn himself. One day James
Moyers, a stock dealer of Kentucky, and
a close personal friend of Mr. Lincoln,
who had known him intimately from
childhood, came to Springfield on a visit.
As soon as he saw Lincoln the pin attracted
his attention.
"Well, who'd a-thought that Abe Lincoln
would be strutting around the streets
with a diamond pin in his shirt front!"
exclaimed Moyers in mock surprise.
Lincoln looked vaguely abashed and
tried to explain. The explanation ended
by his taking the pin from his shirt and
pinning it on Moyers, insisting as he did '
so that he did not want it anil was only
too anxious to get rid of it. i
Moyers kept the ornament for some
time and finally gave it to a friend,
James Drummond. Subsequently Moyers 1
was shot and killed by a lawyer at Lexington,
Ky.
Drummond was captured during the
war by the federals and died at Fortress !
Monroe. In 1800 a sale of his property
and personal effects took place at Barnwell,
S. C. Among the latter was the pin
that had belonged to Lincoln. Colonel ;
Cave bought it for a small sum. He
knew its history and prize's the relic ]
highly,
E. L. Saddler, also of Barnwell, S. C., j
was present at the sale and vouched for the !
authenticity V>f the relic, as lie was with ]
Jaines Moyers when Lincoln pinned the !
ornament 011 his shirt bosom.?Augusta

Millions Given Awav. <
It is certainly gratifying to the public '
to know of one concern which is not
afraid to be generous. The proprietors
of Driving's New Discovery for consumption,
coughs, and colds, have given away J

satisfaction of knowing it has cured
thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma,

The Gold Bullet. .
A weird story is told of a man by the 1
name of Van Bosboom, who is distin- J
guished in the Transvaal as the best shot 1
in the republic. He is now r?5?years old 1
and never, it is claimed, has he missed an <
object at which he fired. A few months 1
ago he had a productive gold mine and a 1
flourishing family, but he lost his mine '
recently, and soon after his two sons were <
slain as they were fighting against the ]
English. The loss of his mine troubled 1
him little, but when he learned that his 1
stalwart sons were no more a great <
change came over him. He took his old i
flintrock rifle which he calls.Lobeugula, '<
and with a lug of golden bullets he went i
to the front to tight the enemies of his ;
country. And it is said that during the 1
recent battles wheD the ambulances re- <
moved each day those who had fallen in 1
battle, the physicians could readily pick
out the officers who had been killed by <
Van Bosboom, for instead of two ounces
of lead or steel they had two ounces of
gold either in the heart or in the fore- <
head. <
Whether this be truth or fiction I know r
not, but I do know that there are multi- t
tudes of men and women who are shot to \
death in these days, not only in South (
Africa, but in Europe and America as t
well, by the bullets of gold.?Homiletic

Couldn't Drive the Oxen. 1
It is said that almost every man is quite \
sure he can successfully edit a newspaper. '
But it is not quite so easy to drive oxen,
as one of our city travelling men found out
the other day when he made a bet of ten j
dollars that "he could drive a yoke of oxen
around the square in a country town. He J
succeeded quite well until he came to a- t
corner, when the oxen put their heads
down, elevated their tails, and bolted on
a run for the country. The farmer pocketcd
his ten dollars and followed them.

of the Civil War, and Cyrus resolved to
east Ids lot with the Confederacy, while

army, while the wife and her
only child, a bright little boy, accompanied
other refugees to Crawford County,
Indiana.
Recently the Rev. Alexander RatelilT,

A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little
Son's Life.
Mr. II. H. Black, the well-known village
blacksmith at Grahamsville. Sullivan Co..
N. Y., says: "Our little son, five years
old, has always been subject to croup, and
so bad have the attacks been that we
have feared many times that he would die.
We have had the doctor and used many
medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is now our sole reliance. It
seems to dissolve the tough mucus and by
giving frequent doses when the croupy
symptoms appear we have found that the
dreaded croup is cured before it gets
settled." There is no danger in giving
tjiis remedy for it contains no opium or
other injurious drug and may be given
as confidently to a babe as to an adulf.

Ilallie Erminie Rives, the author of the
new sensational novel "A Furnace of
Earth," is one of the few women living
who holds a life pass pass overall American
railroad. She gained this distinction
by an act of courage and heroism. Some
years ago when quite a young girl, Miss
ltives was traveling over the Monon
Route from Chicago to Louisville, when
the train was wrecked. The engineer,
David Pope by name, was buried beneath
the debris of the baggage car, badly
mangled but conscious. His face was uncovered
but his body was pinned down
by the burning wreckage. His sufferings
were so terrible that several of the women
passengers fainted and the men turned
sick. Miss Rives alone knelt by him
bathing his face and cheering him while
the trainmen worked desperately to release
him. No surgeon was on the train
atul she herself, with towels and splinters,
set his broken leg and accompanied the
unconscious man and relief train to the
hospital. Pope afterwards recovered.
When the affair came to the knowledge
uf the road the president visited Miss
Rives to thank her personally and the
li rectors voted her a pass for life upon
that line.

Put His Fortune into a Tombstone.
James Shannon McCutcheon, who
mule his modest fortune of $20,000 by
arming, and by hard work at that, will
lot leave it for lawyers to haggle over,
ays a special to the World,
lie has had one or two little encounters
vith the legal fraternity, and for that
eason has determined to administer his

riends to whom he is sufficiently attached
o give them $20,000, he will put the
vliole amoum inio a granite monument

At the front of this shaft, of the best
3arrie granite, he will order his own
jravc made when the time comes for him
o sleep there. He is now three-score
ind ten, and he believes he has not long
o wait.
The neighbors, who have watched him
arming for years and years and have
gossiped when he denied himself some
uxury to save money, have of late years
>een guessing what he would do with his
savings.
Some of them have suddenly assumed
t very friendly attitude. The minister
ins suggested from the pulpit that those
,vho have no friends to leave money
M>uld do worse than leave it to the church.
The undertaker has tried to make friends
villi him. Several determined adventuresses
have made love to him.
These little attentions have annoyed
lim and he has indignantly said he would
tpend his money before he died. The
leiglibors said it would be impossible and
