The first issue of The New Sentinel at Barnwell,by Clarence L. Brown, appeared last week. It is a neat and newsy sheet, and we wish it long life and prosperity. It is said that Hon. Thos. M. Raysor, will be a candidate for the State Senate, in Orangeburg county to succeed Thos. F. Brantley, who resigned to run for congress. Our friends across the Edisto could make no better selection. If the Orangeburg people could induce Capt. E. R. Walter to become a candidate for congress, they would have a man in the field who has always stood for the cause of the people and one who would make a worthy representative. There are some precious fools in Charleston who have been writing anonymous letters to the country press of the State in regard to the dispensary law. The one we received was a conglomeration, but seemed to be written with the idea of creating sentiment in favor of repealing the law. If the good people of Charleston can get hold of these idiots, they had best muzzle them. Bamberg is going to be in shape to pay the very highest price for cotton this fall and to grant every accommodation possible. With plenty of ginneries and a cotton seed oil mill, a farmer can bring his cotton here in the seed, have it ginned, sell it at a good price, and leave the seed at the oil mill to be exchanged later for meal, or he can carry the meal back with him. This will be quite a convenience, saving several trips to the cotton grower. v Although Treasurer Dickinson has been suspended on account of a shortage in his accounts, he holds the same high position in the esteem of our people that he has always held. Those who know and love him sympathize with him in his difficulties, and have the same confidence in his integrity of character that they have always had. He is now about sixty years old, and was born and raised ' ' - IT'. 1 1.1 in tnis community, nis pure auu uiuweless life during all these years is known and appreciated by our people. As the fact of his removal from office will be made public to the world through the medium of the daily papars, we feel it our duty to give public expression to the sentiment of the people among whom he has always lived and who respect and honor him as much now as ever. ^ Commendable Action. y / As our readers are aware, there is to be a race for congress over in the seventh district, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. J. W. Stokes. There are several candidates spoken of for the position, and among them are several gentlemen who now hold public offices. Thos. F. Brantley will run, and he has set a precedent which we hope to see followed. He was State Senator from Orangeburg county, but has resigned as such, in order that the vacancy might be filled in the same primary which nominates a congressman, thus avoiding the necessity of another election should he be successful. Every man who goes into the congres 6ionai race should put himseli 011 tne ^ same footing with Brantley, and resign the office now held. Brantley may never go to congress, and we do not know that we would support him were we in the I seventh district, but his action in resigning is certainly commendable. We hope the time will come in South Carolina when no man will dare to run for one office while holdiug another. In this race, it appears to be "up to" Brantley's oppo\ nents who are office holders at present. ^ -..If they do not follow his lead and resign, ' it seemTuT-?-s thaLthef11**.1J be seriously handicapped in the congressional race. Why She (Juit the Phone. The young woman employed as a stenographer had a beau named Will, to whom she talked some twenty-live times ! a day, says the Boston Record. The yer "who labored under the impmjj|^n that he was paying for the ttme was notpl^l llM ^ggfe s'hould rash frantically to the __^^:pi?pone every time the bell rang and *^^stand there for fifteen minutes debating whether or not Will ought to have told Clara that secret which he knew well enough was none of Clara's business. One day the lawyer left his office and going to another telephone in the building, called up his own office. Of course Maggie rushed frantically to the phone and answered. "Hello," said the lawyer in a muffied voice. "This is a lineman testing the wire. Kindly stand one foot in front of the receiver and say hello." Maggie obeyed. "Thank you. Now stand two feet on one side and say hello." Maggie complied. "Thank you. Now stand two feet on the other side and say hello." It was done. "Thank you. Now stand on your head and say hello." Maggie seems to be somewhat backward in answering the telephone now. Alphabetical Abuse. The prosecuting attorney in a lawsuit had waxed especially indignant at the defendant, whom he characterized as an "abandoned, baneful, cynical, diabolic, execrable, felonious, greedy, hateful, irie sponsible, jaundiced, knavish, lazy, meddlesome, noxious, outrageous, and protli gaie iv? u >. "The learned counsel on the other side," said the attorney l'or the defendant, when he rose to reply, "should have put his adjectives in a hat and shaken them up a little before using. You must have noticed, gentleman of the jury, thai they were in regular alphabetical order. This shows that he selected them from a dictionary, beginning with 'a.' He stopped at 'p.' but in his manner of reproducing them he has given us the 'cue'as to how lie got them." This turned the laugh against the lawyer and he lo<t the case. Their Secret is Out. All Sadieville, Ky., was curious to leant the cause of the vast improvement in the health of Mrs. S. P. Whittaker, who had for a long time, endured untold suffering from a chronic bronchial trouble.

The cotton crop is in a flourishing condition to what it has been, and the farmers are in much better spirits, (not dispensary spirits.) Ge Col. Denmark Doings. Denmark, August 0.?The season of cultivation of crops is about over. The natural drift of circumstances will soon call for the harvester. In fact, some farmers are pulling fodder this week, while others are shipping the last car load of melons. The latter crop has brought to the pockets of a few farmers considerable hard cash. The school officials of the Denmark district have been seriously retarded in their plans of improvement of their school, as well as in the matter of paying debts, by the very peculiar methods adopted by our county treasurer. He has always been a favorite to this people. His honesty and integrity is not questioned, but the law does not give him the right to appropriate funds at his pleasure. It is Iiopeii mat tne wnoieainur \> m miuu be adjusted. Dr. C. C. Brown, pastor of the First Baptist church of Sumter, was in town this week the guest of Dr. W. D. Bice.

This distinguished gentleman was once pastor of the Baptist church at this place. His landmarks are still standing. Prof. L. W. Dick, Supt. Aiken Public schools, was in town one day last week, representing the interest of Converse College. Mr. Dick is one of the foremost teachers of the State, is pleasing in address and of a most genial nature. He j has been very successful as a teacher. The revival at the Baptist church has been reasonably productive. Five members have joined the church and a great J number have been warmed up to a realization of their back-sliding condition.

The following story is told in St. Louis, Mo.: Tiic Missouri Egg factory of 1 Springfield handles about 50,000 dozen eggs a day, all of which are candled before entering the factory. About three wagon ; loads of eggs are rejected every day and : hauled outside of the city* limits, where ] they are dumped. A man living near the dumping ground has collected enough chickens hatched by the weather from eggs thus thrown away to stock a chicken farm. Every day for a month or more he has been carrying a number of chickens home from the dumping ground, where they had been hatched by the unprecedented heat. A WORTHY SUCCESSOR. "Something New Under the Sun." All doctors have tried to cure catarrh by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry up the mucuous membranes causing them to crack open and bleed. The powerful acids used in the inhalers have autirely eaten away the same membranes that their makers have aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments cannot reach the disease. An old and experienced practitioner who has for many years made a close stud}' and specialty of the treatment of catarrh, has at last per- j fee ted a treatment which when faithfully used, not only relieves at once, but permanently cures catarrh, by removing the cause, stopping the discharges, and curing all inflammation. It is the only rem- < cdy known to science that actually ' reaches the afflicted parts. This wonder- 1 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 necessary 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. Catarrh when neglected often leads to ] consumption?"Snuffles" will save you if you use it at once.

United States Senator Benjamin 11 Tillman, of South Carolina, addressed a large audience on the race question from a southern standpoint. (>no of the feature? of his remarks was a plea in justification of lvnehing. "in Wisconsin you have o.oOil l?l:vi, men," he said. "Why don't you try tin bleaching process and exterminate the:.] by intermarrying? The idea is repugnant to you.

"I do not want to uphohl slavery." he continued. "1 thank God there are no slaves to-day under the stars and stripes."

His reference t<> the sanctity of the southern household and the southern women and his remarks on lynching were heartily applauded.

' the tower is usually a tiny room, all 1 glass windows. The lanti m is in the | ciiter of the room. It is a great prism . of glass, In shape like a beehive. The i lamp is set into this, and the lenses magnify the comparatively small light of the lamp and make it a great beacon ! seen far olf over the waters. Should j j the luuiinant be a f'.asiilight, there is j machinery to be wound up every few j l hours to cause it to revolve.

A froshi ly filled one is put in the place of the I first lighted one. j When storms are rasing: or fogs proj vailing. the keeper stays awake to wind the machinery that keeps the fog signal booming over the water. Many sleepless nights are thus spent by the light keepers in devoted vigpl of the | aids to navigation. At the gray of ! dawn the keeper is again climbing the steep iron ladder to the tower top. Be- | fore the ml rim of the sun appears the 1 lamp is extinguished, the fine prismatic j lenses are covered, and the huge panes ; of glass that form the walls of the ( room are curtained. The large lamp Is carried down the flights of an almost perpendicular ladder and when filled, trimmed and cleaned is road}" for the sunset hour. The work of the keeper Is } not concluded with this feat. The most l perplexing portion of the daily routine is now to be performed. ' The light keeper must give an account of his stewardship. A record is e kept of every gill, pint, quart and gal- ' Ion of oil that is nightly consumed by I the lamps, the fractional parts of inchi es of wick burned, the lamp chimneys broken and the general consumption of all supplies furnished yearly in large quantities by the government.?Wom! an's Home Companion. 1 HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
