Thursday, November 29? 1900.
The Columbia State is making war on
the gambling houses of that city. Editor
Gonzales has hitherto been very successful
in his efforts for the betterment of Co
lumbia, and, while we bW him God-speed
" in the work of breaking up the'gambling
hells, we fear he has a large contract on
r his hands.
It should be a source of gratification to
our i>eople that Bamberg county polled a
good vote in the^recent general election.
No county that we know of did so well,
according to population. *0f course there
should have been a larger vote polled in
every county in the State, but the vote
here shows that political apathy and in*
difference does not exist in this section
' to the extent it does in other parts of
' South Carolina. Richland, for instance,
did not poll as many votes as Bamberg.
Last Saturday morning, in publishing
the South Carolina census figures, the
-v..' Augusta Chronicle made the statement
|v -. that Bamberg, had the smallest population
of any county in the State. This is
i ' a mistake, and we hope the Chronicle
will correct. It is true that Bamberg is a
small county, having only the number of
:' square miles required by the State consti.
tut ion* but we have not thesmallest number
of inhabitants. For instance, Dorchester
is Credited in the census figures
with a smaller population than Bamberg.
' Wouldn't it be a good idea for Gov.
?j. McSweeney to appoint some special con?
et?Moc tn xcotr-li nnt fr?r mnntv disnsnsers
|who violate the dispensary law ? Or in
I those cities where the enforcement of the
law is left to the police, to request the
mayors to see that dispensers carry out
the prohibitory features of the dispensary?
If a blind tiger keeper buys his whiskey
from the dispensary it would seem that
the dispenser in charge would not long
remain in igndrance of the illicit business.
The dispensary system has quite a
number of supporters on account of the
prohibitory features. Isn't it but just
and right that some attention should be
paid to enforcing these features ?
'iCard from Mr. O'Deil.
Editor The Bamberg Herald?Dear
Sir: When this communication reaches
your readers, I shall be at conference in
Chester, where I shall receive an appointment
to another field of labor. I wish
to say to the citizens of Bamberg and
surrounding country whom I hare had
the pleasure to know, that the four years
amongst than have been very pleasant
ones to me, and the friendships formed
shall always be cherished; that I have
lived amongst them in all good conscience,
endeavoring always to do my duty
as a citizen and as a Christian minister,
that I leave with no ill will against any,
but with the kindest regard and best
wishes for all. To
my congregation I wish to express
my sincere appreciation for every act
and.word of kindness; that I have endeavored
to be" a faithful and fearless
minister of the gospel, and that I have
tried to benent all without purposely of.
fending any. How nearly I have suc|
needed you are the best judges. I most
earnestly pray that yon may all "grow in
1^. ' grace Mid in the knowledge of the Lord
Jesus Christ," and that "when the roll is
called^hp yonder" we may all "be there."
Peace be unto you,and unto all the household
of faith. Sincerely,
T. C. O'Dell.

Tillman on Democracy.
The Cosniographic Company of New
York has secured the following statement
from Senator Tillman concerning the
proposed reorganization of the Democratic
party:
I have your letter of recent date, in
which you ask : "What is the future of
the Democratic party? Must it be recast
upon new lines or return to the original
ones? Where shall the reorganization
begin, etc. ?"
The smoke of the recent political bat
tic nas naruiy cieareu away or suincieni
time been given to study tlie full returns
of the election. Enough is known to
show that the Democratic party is not
dead, nor is it about to die. Mckinley's
election is attributed to two causes, venality
and ignorance. Under the tirst head
would be embraced use of money lavishly
to control votes; the love of money
above principle or patriotism, and the
coercion of voters who were afraid of a
return of hard times and loss of work.
Under the second head would be embraced
a large mass of ignorant foreigners
who have not been assimilated or become
Americanized, who are ignorant ot
our institutions and are more less influenced
by the ideas they brought from the
old world. A large number of business
men who thought prosperity was the result
of-McKinlev's selection, and who
dreaded a panic if Bryan was elected
These were content to let well enougli
alone, having an eye solely to the business
aspect rather than the underlying
principles involved in the contest. The)
were ignorant and too cowardly, rathe)
than venal. J
The Democratic party does not ncet
reorganization. It can hot be attempted
until the next national convention is
held, and the most pitiable sight of a self
respecting man is the rush which has
been made by the traitors who broughi
the party nigh unto death in 1896 to re
sume control.

principles of the fathers and to stand b\

We cannot afford to despair of the re
public and the trouble of the imperialist!
has just begun. Their program involve:
the continuation of high taxes, a large
standing army, and the guarantee thai
prosperity "will be maintained for foui
years. The people will grow restless ant
tired of the two first, and common sense
teaches that the vaunted prosperity
which appears to have controlled the re
suit of the election cannot last. If we
fight as a party bravely and stand by oui
principles unflinchingly there is every
thing to make us hopeful e>f the future

A Terrible Death.
Mr. Donald McQueen met with a terrible
accident Saturday night, as a result
of which he died yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock. %
He was lying in bed reading with a
lamp on a table near hhn. The rest of
the family were in an adjoining room.
Just before 10 o'clock Mrs.; McQueen
passed through the room and saw that
Mr. McQueen had fallen asleep, the open
book which he was reading' lying by his
side. She did not disturb him, but joined
the other members of the family and
friends of the house.
. Soon after she left the room a loud explosion
was heard in Mr. McQueen's
room. Everyone rushed there and saw
Mr. McQueen enveloped in flames. His
son was the first to reach him and he
made a brave effort to put out the flames
with a pillow. Others wrapped him in
blankets and saved his life for the time being.
By the explosion of the lamp Mr. McQueen's
body was covered with kerosene
and though but a short time elapsed before
aid came to him he was so terribly
burned that when a physician arrived it
was evident to him that death must result.
From his waist to the top of his
head he was one solid mass of cruel blisters
and burned flesh. His sufferings
were agonizing, but everything was done
to relieve him. He was attended Drs.
Taylor and DuBose.
Mr. McQueen had. presence of mind
enough not to breathe while he was going
through the fiery ordeal else he would
have died almost at once. Though suffering
horribly from the burns, he was conscious
and said that he had been awakened
by the explosion to find eimsclf in
flames. He had nothing to protect him
from the flames but a night garment.
He endured his sufferings with great
fortitude until death brought him relief.
He was a native of Charleston, and was
born February 14,1852. He has lived in
this city twenty-seven years, during all of
which time he was engaged in the railroad
business. For fifteen or twenty
years lie was freight agent here of the
South Carolina road. When that road
was leased and the offices here were consolidated,
Mr. McQueen lost his position,
and since that time he has been engaged
in other business. At the time of his
death he was bookkeeper for Contractor
Itner, who is building the new union
depot.?Columbia Record.
Collection of Taxes.
Comptroller General Dcrham was asked
about a probable extension of the time
for the payment of taxes by a Columbia
Record reporter a few days ago, and he
said he for one would not recommend it.
He said in cases of "bard years" it was
well enough to relieve the people from
the penalty, but in this year of prosperity
he could not see why the taxes couli}
not be paid in the ordinary time. Gov.
McSwceney expressed similar sentiments
and said that he could see no good reason:
for an extension of time.

Ready For Trains.
The Southern Railway's new line from
Allendale, S. C., to Hardceville, has been
almost completed. It is expected that
passenger trains will be running by the
new route 011 December 1. The connection
between Allendale and Hardeeville
is forty-eight mjles long, and it is said the
distance it will cut olT from the Southern's
present route into Savannah will be
fifty miles. Since the establishment of
its Savannah line the Southern has been
using the Charleston and Western Carolina
track from Allendale to Yemassec
over the Plant system.
The contract for the construction of the
Southern's connection was awarded to
Contractor'Wright, of Macon, who built
the Georgia and Alabama extension from
* Meld rim to Hutchinson's Island. Mr.
Wright took his hands from Savannah
for the work, which was begun several
months ago. The construction gangs l>c;
gan working from two points and both
have practically finished their parts. The
. construction of the line opens up what
1 is to some extent a new territory, the de'
velopment of which is looked for now
that it has a railroad.
! At Hardeeville the Plant system freight
depot has been moved to the east side of
? the track and an addition is being built
. to the passenger depot, which stands
between the tracks of the Southern and
I the Plant system. A freight depot for
| the Southern is also in course of construction.
s An impression exists that the efforts of
t the Southern to get a direct line into
Savannah will not go beyond the exten?
sion of the new road from Allendale to
r Hardeeville. It was thought some time
t ago that the Southern would build its
| own route into the city, but it has been
said that the cost of constructing a bridge
i across the Savannah River would mean
1 too heavy an expenditure, and for this
^ reason the project was given over.

- Pretty, Persecuted "Peggy" Eaton.
"The war which President Jackson began
against the United States Bank did
not test his heroic nerve more than the
war which opened in his Cabinet over the
question whetaer 'Peggy' Eaton should
l>e recognized by the women of Washingr
ton as a 'Cabinet lady,'" writes William
t Perrine, in the December Ladies' Home
j Journal. "The prominent ladies of the
Administration generally reached the
, conclusion that 'Peggy' Eaton should be
r ostracized. The social rebellion against
l 'Old Hickory' even broke out in his own
) household. The one corispi?uous public
I man who did not yield to the feminine
crusade was Martin Van Buren, the Secretary
of State#who had the advantage of
being a widower and who had determined
with his suave dexterity to please the iron
will of the President in all things. Jackson
was delighted with his conduct, but
- the diplomatic finesse of the 'Little
1 Magician' failed almost as much as the
. fiera; mandates of 'Old Hickory.' The
' British Minister, who was friendly to Mrs.
* Eaton, was prevailed upon to give a ball

, was especially exhorted by Van Bnren to

Reapportionment of the Honge.
Every ten years there is a reapportionment
of members of the house of representatives
of the general assembly. This
is a constitutional provision and the
United States censnsis generally taken as
being correct, relieving the State of the
necessity and expense of taking a census
of its own.
The number of members of the house
must be 124. The total population of the
State is 1,340,316. This divided by 124,
will give 10,809, the number of inhabitants
any county is required to have one representative.
It is provided in the State
constitution that each county shall have
nnp rpnrpsentativo. and that if the
populations of the counties do not bring
up the total number of representatives to
124, the deficiency must be made up from
those counties which have the largest
surplus population over the required
number, which in this instance is 10,809.
Under this plan Aiken, Greenwood,
Lexington and Spartanburg will each
gain one member, and Beaufort, Berkeley,
Charleston and Edgefield will lose one.
Because of the fact that the whole
population of the State must be considered
in this matter, it is the fate of some of
the counties which have made the largest
percentage of gain not to secure another
representative. This is the case in Richland,
as an instance. There are other
counties in similar position.
The legislature which meets in January
will have to provide for the reapportionment
and the new order of affairs will not
be effective until 1902. *

Free Rural Doliycry.
Washington, Nov. 20?An enthusiastic
plea for a wide expansion of rural free I
deliver}* is made in the annual report of i
W. M. Johnson, first assistant postmaster :
general. He says that the extraordinary i
development of this system during the 1
past 12 months under the stimulus of ;
appropriations of $4.">0,<H)0 for the fiscal !
year 1890-1900 and $1,750,000 for the !
fiscal year 1900-1901, is conclusive as '
showing that hereafter it must be a
permanent and expanding feature of the
postal administration. The service can
uow'be extended as swiftly as congress
may direct or as the means permit, until
it covers all those portions of the United
States now reached in whole or in part
by the more primitive methods of the
postal service, which have come down to
us almost without change from colonial
times.. This change Mr. Johnson believes
can be effected without excessive
cost to the government.

so bad have the <*...acks been that we

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

other injurious drug and may be given

. Has Them by the Nose.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 21?A joint session
of the legislature was addressed by Miss
Belle Kearney, the well known Woman,s
Christian Temperance Union worker, in
the hall of the house of representatives.
Ever}' seat on the floor was occupied and
there were many interested listeners in
the gallery, including many ladies.
Miss Kearney advocated absolute prohibition.
She spoke against the dispensary
system as a half way measure and cited
the effect of the dispensary law in South
Carolina. She declared that Senator
Tillman had the people of South Carolina
by the nose and could lead them wherever
he willed. The money made by the sale
of whisky by the dispensary system, she
said, was blood money, and qgt fit to be
' touch by unpolluted hands.
In addition to the talk on temperance
Miss Kearney pleaded with the members
to open the doors of the State university
to young women.
Relative to the refusal of the legislature
to change the age of consent law . Miss
Kearney asked that the matter be reconsidered
and that the members vote the
age to fifteen or eighteen, as had been
done in other states.

Great Luck of an Editor.
"For two years all efforts to cure cc

writes Editor II, N. Lester, of Syracuse
Kan., "then I was wholly cured by Buck

Literary Note.
The world has never known a mor<
dramatic situation than that presented b]
the foreign community within the wall:
of Peking while cut off from communica
tion with their countrymen. Durin?
these long, doubtful weeks, the ntos
interesting figure in this internationa
tragedy was Sir Robert Hart, who fo.
more than twentv-fivc years has been a:
far, as a European might, the statesmai
guiding the affairs of the Chinese Empire
Those familiar in any degree will
Eastern conditions hoped, after the relie
of Peking, that Sir Robert would breal
his long rule of silence t\nd give to tin
world his story of the eve?ts which le<
to the closing of the gates of the Britisl
Legation,-and his views as to the policie
which should prevail in the settlement o
the difficult questions which had arisen
On the 17th of October, the folloprim
cable-message front Sir Robert's Londoi
representative to the Editor of the Cos
mopolitan was received: "Sir Rober
Hart lias' sent for November numbe
Fortnightly, London, and Cosmopolitan
New York! an important article on sieg<
of Peking, about fifteen thousand words
which I will post you to-morrow."
The MS. arrived iu time to bejincludef
in the December issue. It will be rea<
with the deepest interest, both by states
men and the general public. The Cosmo
politan has been highly honored [by Si
Robert Hart in his selection of the Ameri
can magazine through which this valuabl
contribution to the history of the worh
is given publicity.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the publi
to know of one concern which is no
afraid to be generous. The proprietor
of Dr.King's New Discovery for eonsump
tion, coughs, and colds, have given awa;
over ten million trial l>ottlesand have th'
satisfaction of knowing it has cure<
thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma
bronchitis, la grippe, and all throat, dies
and lung disesases are surely cured by it

A young woman of Washington birtl
and rearing, who has made her home fo
these three years past in a small Indian;
town, says that for tact and diplomac;
she knows nobody to equal her neighbor
out thef-e. She had scarcely settled hei
self in her new home when one day sin
heard a hen proudly cackling in her bacl
yard. She went out to sec what couli
have brought a strange hen into her yard
and found that the fowl had just laid, ai
egg in the woodbox outside the kitchei
door. While she was still wonderin.
% .
where on earth the creature had com
from, the shock head of a thin and tal
girl of 12, rose over the tence wmcj
divided the yard from the yard of th
house next door.
"Hello," said the girl.
"Good morning," answered the Wash
ingtoniau.
"We got plenty of eggs," remarked tin
girl. "Maw says you kin have that on*
our hen jes' laid in that woodbox o
yourn."
' "Thank 3*011, ver}^ much," said th<
Washington ian.
The girl still hung on the fence.
"We ain't goin to charge you nuthin
fer it," she went on.
"That's very kind, indeed," answerec
the new neighbor.
"It's a gift," remarked the girl.
Then there was silence for a fe*
moments. The girl still clung to lier side
of the fence.
"Say,'' she said finally, "maw sa)rs nou
