So John Gary Evans is going to run for United States Senator again. We would have thought he had enough of it by this time. But let him come along -V' the people of South Carolina will put him in his political grave again. All they want is the opportunity. The pistol law passed by the legisla ture provides that no one shall carry j pistol less than twenty inches long noi which weighs less than three pounds ' This law goes into effect July 1st, 1902 If at all enforced, this surely ought tc break up the abominable habit. Thii community seems to be the home of tin pistol carrier, and we surely ought to gel some sort of relief. Kg* ? ? ^ Efm Some effort should be made to beautif] our court house square. It should b< nicely laid off and grass and flowers planted thereon. This would be a grea improvement and would cost very littli either. If this place were beautified gooc l' * "results would be sure to follow, foi strangers visiting the town would notic< it and comment on it elsewhere whicl would benefit the town. What say th< authorities? We believe the idea to b( - X a good one. p??jv ? ^ .. Mr. W. H. Wallace, who has so abh u. edited the Greenville News for severa! months past, has retired on account ol ill-health, and Mr. John A. Moroso, for merly of Charleston, but who has recent J- - ly been doing newspaper work in Ne\s York and Richmond, is now editor of th( :r; News. Mr. Wailace was a good write] and was possessed of sound views. W< regret his retirement. Mr. Moroso is ^ said to be a bright young man and a gooc ||*f; ?" writer, who will keep the News up to its / high standard. ? Bamberg ought to be able to afforc waterworks and electric lights, as well as good streets and sidewalks. Our property fcV " ^ tax is only six mills, as low as any town w< know of, and yet the annual income o the town from all sources is something . like five thousand dollars. The city re ceived about $2,200 from dispensary pro ^fits last year, and then there is also th< property and commutation tax, as wel as fines, etc. We have no license system .-which is a mistake. There are certaii ' kinds of businesses which should pay i : license tax, and our city council shonlc "* levy it. We regret to see that there is con siderable indifference in several counties in the State as to making an exhibit ai the Charleston Exposition. This shoulc not be. It is true this paper opposed ar ^ appropriation by the State in aid of th< scheme, but it was made. Now, the Ex "position is goingto be held, and we a! owe it to our State to make it as great ? success as possible. Each county in tht State should make an exhibit and do its . part toward making the Exposition a complete success. Don't hold back now and therebv to some extent make the Exposition incomplete. We hope that all over the State work will be begun at once on county exhibits. TO NEWSPAPER MEN. ? - A few weeks ago this newspaper made an advertising contract with a traveling salesman named Johnson, representing the Japanese Pile Cure Co., of Philadelphia. While here he placed the remedies on sale with the Bamberg Pharmacy. It is our policy to always get financial reports on advertisers unknown to us, and, notwithstanding the tact that this company was advertising extensively in some of the best newspapers in this State, we immediately had the mercantile agencies make a report on their financial standing. This was not satisfactory to us, so we declined to run the advertising unless the}* paid quarterly in advance or gave an order on the local druggist. This they declined to do, so we have discontinued the advertising. We notice that several papers in t he State are carrying the ads., and we think it extremely doubtful if they get any pay for it. If a concern intended to pay, it seems that they would not object to giving an order on the local druggist to whom they have sold goods. If any of our brother editors collect for their work we would be glad to know it. At any rate we think it would pay them to investigate the firm fully before doing the work. We newspaper men are beat out of onr hard-earned money often enough as it is, and our purpose in writing this is for mutual protection. We respectfully refer our brothers to the commercial agencies for further in, formation. To Govern the Philippines. Washington, Feb. 25.?According to the latest advices from the Philippine commission, the time for the establishment of civil government in the Philippines is near at hand. It is stated at the war department that the civil government will be established as soon as Judge Taft reports the conditions in the islands justify such action. It is generally understood that Judge Taft will be the first civil governor of the islauds, and that Gen. Chaffee will succeed Gen. McArthur in command of the military forces to be retained there to assist in the maintenance of order and enforcement of the laws. It is not likely, however, that there will be any immediate change in the military command, or that there will be any material reduction in the military strength for many months to come. The Philippine commission has recommended the adoption of a tariff system, and its report probably will be made public in a few weeks in order that all interests affected may be fully informed rand beard on the subject before the proposed tariff is adopted and put into effect.

The pension hill ii which he was interested has been signi by the president. A few days ago Mr. Tillman swore be fore Almighty God that he would not h any pension bill pass the senate until hi own particular measure had been acte? upon. He had a constituent down ii South Carolina, named Jim Thomas, wh fought in the Mexican war. He was ; brave man, beyond a doubt, for lie climl _ 3 - i-in -c rM ??.i i.,.i,,?.i , ! eu lilt? Illll Ui v iiupuucpvv aim t pull down the Mexican colors and rais the American flag. In another battle 1: had his arm shot off. He got his pen : sion, but having in 1SG1 given aid an 1 comfort to the Confederate cause, hi : allowance was cut off. The senate agree ; to repension him, but the house held u i the bill. That is, the holding up proces : lasted until Mr. Tillman delivered hi ' ultimatum, and then the bill w.% passei Now pension bills go through the senat as if they were greased. It sometimes pays, says Mr. Tillmai 1 to show your teeth. r But the end is not yet, for the passag of the bill is virtually a repeal of the ho which disbars a Mexican veteran froi } receiving a pension because he symp: 5 thized with the Confederate cause. An 3 there are thousands of these old veteran 1 in the South.

There is increased interest in thi r county in the South Carolina-Inter-Stat ? and West Indian Exposition, whic r opens in Charleston the 1st of next D< ? cember.

Greenwood Count v. Gkerxwoop, February, 21.?.Tames ) Tolbert has met the fat?- he courteil. 1 > was shot to-day on the streets of Me(\ i miek. where he had been told that must not go, or else he would have tod Before he was shot down he tired tv . shots at a young visitor to the town ' McCormiek, a man who nod nothing do with the row going on between T< bert and the citizens of .McCormiek. Bo 1 shots took effect, one in the body at one in the hip. This young man. M 1 Martin, was visiting his brother-in-la ' M. L. Sturkcy, and was simply walkii ' bv, when Tolbert, according to tin* stat ments of those present, pulled out a p 1 tol and tired at him. Immediately | fusillade began, with Tolbert as the t:i get for all the available shooting irons and around that vicinity. | Tolbert owns quite a lot of land aroui [ MeCormiek and some real estate in t town, lie has never attended to the ret ing of this property in person until tl " year. lie will likely never do so agai " About a week ago he went down to M Cormick determined to sfay. In a fc | days he received an anonymous letter a } vising him to leave. He refused to : taoh any importance to the letter at ' went about his business of looking aft . his farm lands. To-day he wasapproac ed by a crowd of men and told to lea; According to the statements of the b< men present lie attempted to argue t i ...i *?i.i l; i,?*" i.??? iikuu'i ;um iu1u ulliu iv/ ivi it nt rvmn that he intended to stay. Just about tl time young Martin passed by the cro\ on the other side of the street and sceii , him, Tolbert pulled out his i>isl<?1 ai t fired twice at Martin. As stated abo t the shooting at Tolbert then commence r Only two shots took effect, both in t - body. There were no more shots fir , at Tolbert after he fell. He was earri 1 to the home of Mr. Pick Hollingswoi i and it was stated last night that a hea - guard had been placed around the lion: , Young Martin was carried into the stc ; of his brother-in-law, M. L. Sturkcv, a . his wounds immediately attended to Dr. Melldeau. Even if Tolbert's woun do not prove fatal his life is still in da ger. The general opinion is that if Marl should die there would be no chance t Tolbert. Late this afternoon a 'pho message from McCormiek stated that good many people from the country wc coming into town and the uiiivcn opinion was that Tolbert had better moved. His physician said that lie cot be moved, and his brother, R. R. Tolbe expects to go to-night and have h moved either to Augusta or some phi of safetv. Jim 'tolbert, as is known, has be obnoxious to the people of MeCormi ever since the Phcenix riot in the fall 1898. He rendered himself doubly so the celebrated ^conspiracy case" agait some of the very best citizens of the phi in the spring of 1899. He has ma several attempts to get there, but eve time he was told quietly, but none t less firmly, that he could not stay in t town of McCormiek. Despite tin warnings he has persisted and it seei now that he will give up his life for 1 rashness. The people of McCormiek i very cool and very determined. He 1 been told to stay away and all would well, but to try to come back there wot mean trouble. The trouble has come. * another account. McCormick, February 21.?A party masked men rode in town to-day abc noon with the intention of making J Tolbert leave.

Threats were ma , to burn all of the property of the Tolber and it was dangerous for any of them ; return to the county so inten > was the feeling and so lii r was the conviction that the T< | berts had worked up the negroes hostility. All of the Tolberts left t ' county and for a long time none of the . returned. James AV. Tolbert was postmaster I McCormick at the time of the lynchin and a committee waited on him and to ' him to leave town. He did so and tin i prosecuted the people in the United Stat [ Court. 1 lie trial occurred ui crrecnvii and resulted in acquittal. Tolbert h: gone to McCormick several times to i tend to business and lias written that tl , magistrate there offered him no prote tion.

Tolbert was hurried to the lion of Mr Napier, and when a statement w: asked for late this afternoon and tonigl he was sleeping and nothing was give out. A perfectly accurate account of the shoo ing seems hard to obtain. Dr Mel.lea says that the account from McCormick : given in The News and Courier ycste day is as nearly accurate as can be givei viz: Tolbert was at work repairing 011 of his houses in town of McCormick whe a crowd of men wearing their coats tun ed wrong side out and w ith masks ?v< their faces rode up to him and told hii to leave. He made a hostile move an one of the party called out to him "t surrender." Tolbert then pulled his pist< Parker's "Haul."

Not one. Is there a star in the curtain of night | That forgets to shine with a radiance bright? Not one. ! Is there a bud in field or bower That forgets to blossom into a flower? Not one. i The clouds, the stars and flowers bright ; In a beautiful language speak forth God's might. While we, frail creatures of the dust, Forget, alas, to be even just. We stand empty handed, while all around There are lives to brighten, now sorrow bound. There are deeds which our hands should gladly do That would cheer some heart its journey through. A kind word here, a good deed there, Would scatter sweet blessings everywhere. ?Anna T. Hackman in Philadelphia Bulletin. A RAW YOUNG LAWYER. Hin First Cane Introduced IUm to Contempt of Court. Some of the members of the bar "were discussing contempt cases because of a recent notable event in the state, and one of the little coterie related a personal experience. "I read law at home and had my examinations through a little country lawyer who knew a great deal, but never had a big case and was notorious for his ability in abusing justices of the peace. It may seem a preposterous statement but I had never heard or thought of such a thing as contempt of court when I had my lirst professional experience in u common pleas court No sooner had the opposition attorney made an objection than the judge ruled against me. "I proceeded to inform him that he was wrong, that he knew he was wrong and that I wished he would quit his pettifogging. The lawyers in attendance were temporarily petrified; the venerable judge glared at me over his glasses, finally smiled in a forgiving sort of way and told me to proceed. Very soon there was another well taken objection, and again he ruled against me. This practically took the props from tinder my case, and I went at the judge as my instructor bad been accustomed to go at a justice of the peace in a back township. " 'Your honor/ i declaimed, Ms a political accident In the eternal fitness of things you should be digging coal or cleaning out underbrush. You have no more sense of justice than a Zulu chief of mercy. Thank heaven there is a higher judicial tribunal in this state that'? But there I was halted by a fine of $200 or 90 days in jail. The judge took me to his private room, where he learned my story and remitted the fine. To pay $200 at that time would have pauperized me. I now have quite a reputation for never rubbing the court the wrong way."?Detroit Free Press. A Kail and Klplingr Medley. Mr. Barrie was one day at Waterloo station in a hurry to catch a train. He was hastening from the bookstall laden with papers, "a good many sixpenny ones among them," he dolefully relates, when, in rushing around a corner, he fell into the arms of Rudyard Kipling, equally In a tearing hurry. They turned on each other with scowling faces, then smiled in recognition and asked each other whither he went. Then Kipling, exclaiming, "Lucky beggar, you've got papers!" seized the bundle- from Barrie, flung him some money and made off. "But you did not stoop to pick up his dirty halfpence, did you?" queried one of Mr. Barrie's hearers amusedly. "Didn't I, though?" returned Barrie, and added ruefully, "But he hadn't flung me half enough."?St. James Gazette. MASTER'S SALE.
