It is not at all likely that a cotton seed
oil trust will ever materialize in South
Carolina and meet with anything like
success. The farmers are not compelled
to sell their seed to the mills, they can
always use them for fertilizer, and the
mills cannot run without seed. Whenever
there is an effort to put the price of
seed down too low, farmers will not sell
but use for fertilizer. In fact, many of
them do this now, when seed bring good
prices.
The
point made by the Newberry Observer,
that the State Democratic executive
committee is composed of politicians,
is a good one. Nearly every member of
the committee now has a public office or
is a candidate for one. It would be a
v
good idea for the politicians to take a
back seat now and let the people run the
party awhile. We would like to see
every man who holds an office resign his
place on fhe committee?but we won't
see it.

The midsummer fiction numoer or trie
July Cosmopolitan contains the best
story Bret Harte has written in a long
time. The well known Jack Hamlin is
the hero, and he will be eagerly welcomed
back by the public. Desperado and gambler
that he is, theoretically we ought not
to like him, but he has that fine courage
too rarely met with in real life or in fiction,
and those who read "A Mercury of
the Foothills" will probably lose sight of
his faults in following the events which
take place upon "that heaven-kissing
hill." Catrina Trask's story in the same
number should be read by ever)' woman.
It is one of those homely tragedies constantly
going on in modern society. It is
probably the cleverest piece of work Mrs.
Trask has ever done. R. K. Munkittrick's
quaint New England coast yarn has a
breeziness about it that makes it really refreshing.
The July instalment of Egerton
Castle's story begins to raise the curtain
on the inevitable ruin which the
Duke of Cluuy's weakness must bring on
those who love him.
It Dazzles the World.
No discovery in medicine has ever created
one quarter of the excitement that
has been caused by Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption. It's severest
tests have been on hopeless victims of
consumption, pneumonia, hemorrhage,
pleurisy and bronchitis, thousands of
whom it has restored to perfect health.
For coughs, colds, asthma, croup, hay
fever, hoarseness and whooping cough it
is the quickest, surest cure in the world.

Earnest Thoughts on a Sacred Theme.
Deak Herald?Yesterday I stood
'neath the shadow of Columbia's monument
erected by the women of South
Carolina and dedicated to the memory of
? the heroes who fell in the war with
Mexico in 1847. And as I looked on the
marble that would tell the sad story to
other generations, my heart swelled with
loyalty to State, to country and with <
gratitude to God for casting my lot among
the "brave and the free."
g To the right, towering in "imposing
silence," was the Palmetto tree, and in <
fancy I could see life trickling through
its inanimate veins, while its shaggy
leaves waved with measured nods to the i
passing breeze.
Fitting emblem to an aristocratic State!
To a people who will always sacrifice
blood in preference to principle.
In front of me in mutilated beauty was
the State House and while the process of
renovation gave her a disfigured aspect,
out^from the chrysalis "boomed her
coming perfection, when we shall be
able to boast of a beautiful capitol.
The huge blocks of Spartanburg granite
were being chiseled into wreaths
of flowers and shapely leaves. These
blocks were to crown the immense
^ ^ columns of marble which I saw lying in
readiness'near by. Upon the threshold
I met the ^Executive Officer and though
ten years had elapsed since I knew him,
I was recognized and kindly received. I__
was debarred the pleasure of going~on
the second floor, on account of work being
done thereon. A desire seized me to
% go to the room where the two Tillmans
had their famous debate concerning the
naming of Saluda county some .years ago,
but of course in this, I was disappointed.
* In the office of Secretary of State I lingered,
feeling free to investigate such_tbings

With a "feeling akin to pain" I stood
before the framed ordinance of secession
whereon where inscribed the names of
those who advocated the withdrawal from
the Union. And as I ran my eye over
the columns?many containing familiar
names to me?I thought of the correlative
thread it forms in Carolina's history
and with a sigh, very equivocal in its
nature, for was it pleasure or pain ? I

tion of going to two cotton factories and
a visit to the penitentiary, to reach the
climax of my pleasure, viz: ^a visit to the
office of the State. 1 received great courtesy
as soon as I named my mission and
was shown over both doors.
Whether orthodox or not I believe
Heaven is going to be a fulfillment of our
fondest dreams on earth. Therefore it is
with inexpressible pleasure I await going
there. I often fancy myself with a complete
library, a perfect printing press,
and ever}* contrivance to promote my
literary cravings! I would rather be the
possessor of such a press as 1 saw in the
State office yesterday, than to claim the
greatest honors man could bestow. I had
a peep into the editor's sanctum sanctorum
and 1 wanted to see him, the author
of the fine editorials I read daily, but he
was out.
The crops along the way, especially in
Lexington county, were sickly in the extreme.
1 saw nothing that would afford
more than half a crop until I struck the
bottom lands on the Congaree river.

W. B. RICE'S TERPENTINE FARM.
A Distillery that is a Credit to the
Man and the County.
[From the Wiregrass Blade Suainsboro.
Georgia.]
At Rixville, just three miles south of
Adrian, is located the immense turpentine
business of Hon. W. B. Hire, one of
Emanuel's foremost citizens. .Mr. Rice
came to Georgia several years ago, and
moved to Rixville when that country was
thinly settled. He embarked in the turpentine
business, there being an abundance
of tine timber in that section. For
eleven years he has successfully managed
this business, aud his interests now constitute
many other pretentious enterprises.
He is an extensive farmer, and makes a
specialty of raising hay, German millet
and peas, all ol which go to make good
food for his different kinds 01 line skh k.
of which he is a great admirer, lie eonduets
a commissary which is under the
able and efficient management of his
younger brother, .Mr. S. Percy Rice. wiio
some four years ago was wed to .Miss
Claudia, the eldest daughter of Hon. John
L. McLemore, of this city. Mr. S. P.
Rice was also born in South Carolina, and
has held his present position for the past
seven years. He superintends generally
the workings of the entire turpentine
plant, and keeps the books of the business.
He is a young man of proniiuence and
popularity, and stands high in not only
his own community, but the entire
county. He is being prominently spoken
of by the democrats of the county as a
suitable candidate for tax collector next
year. Mr. Rice's experience in the present
position would especially lit him for
the office of tax collector, and the Blade
would delight to see such a deserving!
young man honored by the people of his j
county.
The head of the linn, Mr. \V. B. liicc,
has turpentine interests in Florida also.
The extensive farm there is located at
Herndon, and is under the perfect man- j
agement of Mr. W. T. Phelps, The)
capacity of the Florida still is about the
same as that at Rixville, which turned out
last j'ear some 12 or 13 hundred barrels
of spirits turpentine, for which a ready
sale is always found. Most of the product
of Mr. Rice's distillieries goes to Savannah,
which is the principal naval stores
market of the world.

To become acquainted wuu w. l>. i\jcc
is to become his friend. A tine fellow,
big hearted, whole souled, friendly and
agreeable, he numbers his friends by the
thousands.
To shoAV the spirit of the man. Once
a stranger to those parts arrived at Rixville
late one afternoon. He (wished to
go to a place some mile and a half from
there, and the walk was not a pleasant
one to contemplate, as the shades of night
were falling. \Y. B. Rice was standing
by his buggy when he was approached by
the stranger, who inquired the direction
and distance to his objective point. Without
a former acquaintance Mr. Rice invited
the stranger to a seat in his buggy,
drove to his own home and sent the visitor
to his destination. The stranger was
the writer, and he has not forgotten the
incident, though it has been eight years
ago, and the acquaintance since has ripened
into warm friendship, and there is no
man of the writer's acquaintanc e whose
good will is more valued. Mr. Rice has
been always identilied with the advancement
and upbuilding of his county and
section. His wealth has been accumulated
by honest, fair methods and shrewd
business management, no small part of
his success being due to his clever superintendent.
"Would that Emanuel had
many more such progressive and enterprising

All doctors have tried to cure catanh
by the use of powders, acid gases, in- 1
balers and drugs in paste form. Their 1
powders dry up the mucuous membranes
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem- '
branes that their makers have aimed to I
cure, while pastes aud ointments cannot :
reach the disease. An old and experi
enced practitioner who has for many
years made a close study and specialty of
the treatment of catarrh, has at last per- 1
fected a treatment which when faithfully !
used, not only relieves at once, but per- j
manently cures catarrh, by removing the ]
cause, stopping the discharges, and curing
all inflammation. It is the only remedy
known to science that aotuallj'
reaches the afflicted parts. This wonder|
fill remedy is known as "Snuffles the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure" and is sold at
the extremely low price of one dollar,
each package containing internal and external
medicine sufficient for a full
month's treatment and everything neces!
sary to its perfect use.
"Snuffles" is the only perfect catarrh
cure ever made and is now recognized as
the only safe and positive cure for that
annoying and disgusting disease. It cures
all inflammation quickly and permanently,
and is also wonderfully quick to relieve
hay fever or cold in the head.

MILTON RELICS AT HARVARD
Signature In an Autograph Album
and the Poet's Copy of "Pindnr."
The Harvard library numbers among
ts treasures an autograph of Milton
ind a copy of "Pindar" annotated in
Milton's own handwriting, with marginal
notes in Greek and Latin. Both
of these rarities were bequeathed to
the university by Charles Sumner.
The "Pindar" is dated 1020 and was
loubtless used by Milton during his
stay at Cambridge university. At the
?nd he has added an alphabetical index
in manuscript, occupying two closely
written pages of all the authors cited
in his notes, with references to the
pages in which their names occur.
Milton's autograph is fouud in the
pages of an autograph album or visitors'
book kept, according to a custom
common in the sixteenth century, by a
Neapolitan nobleman, Camillus Carloyn
by uame, who resided in Geneva
from 1008 to 1040, where Milton, aphim

jraph in this same album among the
hundreds which it contains is that of
Thomas Weutworth, the unfortunate
Earl of Stafford. Milton's signature is
iated Jau. 10. 1G31), and is appended
to a Latin motto?"Travel changes one's
sky, but not one's mind," it may be
freely rendered and a quotation from
his own "Comus:"
"If Yertue feeble were,
Heaven itselfe would stoope to her."
The most notable Milton manuscript
inown to exist is a little book now
>wned by Trinity college, Cambridge,
England, which contains the poet's
copies of his so called minor poems, including
"L'Allegro" and "II Peusero30."

Gun Hay. Which Was on tin* Pull j
and Shoot Order?Why liratton Wan
Glad He Lout Hi* Hi-ht Hand.
"The most affectionate looking two
! handed trim play that 1 ever saw." said
; a Colorado {rentleman in one of the
| house committee rooms, "was the one
I that happened at La Junta, in my
j state, between T?ijt Divide Jim* HratI
ton and Oeorpe Cannon, as pi/.enish a
i pair of real bad men <>f the typo that
has now passed away as ever fanned a
AT> or twisted a Bowie.
"Gannon was the proprietor of the
Gilt Edge honkatonk in La Junta, and
it was at this plaee that he liad some
trouble with Bratton. The .argument
ended by Bratton hacking out of the
door with his hands up. Gannon having
the drop. Gannon didn't shoot then bei
cause his gun wasn't loaded. He had
been cleaning it and had forgotten to
replace the cartridges. He'd have killed
Bratton otherwise as a matter of
course.
"That same night Bratton sent word
to Gannon that he meditated shooting
him up some on the following day.
Gannon wasn't a man to take to the
cliffs or the cactus, having plenty of
notches on his gun barrel himself, and
he walked around the next afternoon
like a light battery of artillery. 'Big
Divide Jim' Bratton bulged him, however,
by turning a corner suddenly as
Gannon paraded down the main street,
and then it was Gannon's hands that
went tip for a change. Bratton had
two guns covering him, and Cannon
knew his gait.
" 'This,' said Bratton, is where 1 get
an even break for my coin. Now, you
like mo so much, Gannon, that I want
you to sort of show your appreciation
of me by walk in around town linked
arms with me lor awnne.
"It was up to Gannon to comply with
this peculiar request. 'IMtr Divide Jim'
Bratton jabbed his guns back into his
belt, and then he clutched Gannon's
left arm and passed it through his
right. The disadvantage of this arrangement
accrued to Bratton. It left
Gannon's gun arm free, while in case
of argument Bratton would have to use
his left gun. But 'Big Divide Jim'
wasn't selfish.
"The population of La Junta was
amazed to see 'Big Divide Jim' Bratton
and George Gannon, who had always
been more or less sore on each
other and who had had a quarrel that
meant the death of one or both of them
on the night before, walking arm In
arm up and down the main street of
the town. It looked like a peripatetic
love feast between the two of 'em. But
they were watching each other like
cats. At the end of the street Bratton,
still with his right arm linked to Gannon's'left,
stopped suddenly and said:
"'George, I ain't much on the blow
about any gun suddenness that I may
possess, but I sure want to give you a
chance. You thrung it into me last
night In a way that's eat up so much of
the atmosphere around here that
there's not enough air left in this
neighborhood for both of us to breathe
at one and the same time. I'm a-goin
to count three, and when 1 say "three"
it's a breakaway and a finish. You've
got a loose right arm, but I ain:t no
hog. One?two?three!'
"The event proved 'Big Divide Jim'
Bratton the quicker man and the better
marksman. He got Gannon through
the heart, whereas Gannon's ball lodged
in Brntton's right wrist Bratton
had to suffer his right hand to be cut
off that same night.
"The last time I saw him was in
Creode. He was sitting on the edge of
a bunk in his own cabin, close to a
claim he was working. I hadn't seen
him since he'd lost his hand.
" 'Jim,' said I, 'it's too bad you
should have lost that right hand. If
the fellow that plugged you had only
got the left hand, why'?
" 'Oh, I don't know,' said Bratton
philosophically. 'If I'd ha' lost my left.
I wouldn't have been able to play the
fiddle any more.'
"lie reacnea unaer ms uuiik huu
brought forth an old violin. Then he
rigged up an attachment he had for
holding the bow in his right stump,
and he played the instrument real
sweetly for me for half an hour or so.
"'I couldn't have done'no fingorin if
I'd ha' lost my left hook, you know,' lie
said simply when he put the old fiddle
away."?Washington Post.
The Result of IIIh Study.
"I suppose you have made a study of
human nature," remarked the friend.
"I attribute my success in life to that
fact," answered Senator Sorghum.
"Were you ever tempted to give the
world the benefit of your observations,
to put them into book form as a human
comedy or something of that sort?"
"My dear sir, it wouldn't take a book
to do it I have figured on flic problem
of human nature until I know the answer.
I should just say. 'Human nature
loves money,' and let it go at
that"?Exchange.

What Was Needed.
Henry Ward Beecher used to tell a
story about a priest in the olden time
who was called to bless the field of a
poor farmer prior to the planting. He
came and after surveying the soil remarked
to the agriculturist, "Praying
won't do here; what you want is manure."
