Our good friend Holmes, of the Barnwell
People, does not want to "double
team" us as we have one controversy 011
hands now. You are mistaken, brother,
?
we simply asked Bro. Brown a question
and he answered it. That's all there is to it.
The Barnwell Sentinel stated last week
that John G. Capers is one of McLaurin's
"political" friends. Our contemporary is
mistaken. McLaurin and Capers are
warm personal friends, and have been
since boyhood, but as Capers is an
avowed Republican we do not see how
he could be McLaurin's political friend,
for he will not have even the privilege of
voting for the Senator.
The Yorkville Enquirer has produced
its authority for its charges made against
A. C. Latimer some time ago. Congressman
J. William Stokes was its informant,
and the portions of letters from Dr.
Stokes published by the Enquirer make
interesting reading. In these letters Dr.
^^rvn rv 1> r? f T /I if A/1
v/j DWfliCo iuab juauimui uxotx luubvu
free passes, solicited orders from his fellow
members for a photograph enlarging
concern, had his farm set out in grass by
a government expert and at the expense
of the government, and also stated that
he himself refused a pass from Latimer.
The Enquirer appears to have proved its
case by good authority, for every one in
this section who knew Dr. Stokes knew
him to be a man of truth and integrity.
Facts About Nancy Hart.
I have noticed lately in several papers
that the Daughters of the Revolution had
been searching for the grave of Nancy
I--? Hart to mark it, and in their inquiries
they had awakened comments on the existence
of such a woman. Never before
did I know that there was a soul who
doubted that Madam Hart was a true
character. How can they, if they are
familiar with history? To doubt this,
one must also doubt other facts set forth
by historians. I read her life about two
years ago, and as many events connected
with her and her surroundings, are
still fresh in my mind, I will, for the
benefit of others, who may be in doubt,
say: Nancy Hart did live, this is an incontrovertible
truth. She had a cross
eve. red hair, and a freckled face; was
thin and very tall. Hunted the deer that
afforded hervension and climbed trees
for fresh honey. Her fame came about
in this wise: One day six Tories went
up to her cabin and "demanded dinner.
With hospitable manner she bade them
be seated at a table and welcome to what
she had! They* thought fear prompted
the courtesies and chuckled and winked
at each other in satisfaction. No sooner
had they begun eating than Nancy, who
had quietly shifted herself to the corner
?of the room where the soldiers had stackj>;
ed their guns, grabbed one and covering
the men. dared them move aii inch. Then
turning her head slightly to speak to the
negro girl, her only slave, said: "Run to
the cane brake and whistle for your
Marster and tell him to hurry as I have
six d?d Tories as prisoners!
Nancy was born in Elbert county, Ga.,
during the eighteenth century; she left
there about the year 1825 and settled in
Edgefield district. The historian seemed
to lose sight of her after moving to Carolina,
but I have read recently that she
drifted to the West and is supposed to
have been buried there.
To say the least the purport of our
thoughts is this: Nancy Hart, the wife
of Benjamin Hart, was no imaginary
character; she lived, was flesh and bone
and had red hair and a cross-eye!

Candidates for Judge.
In all but two of the judicial circuits
there will be vacancies next year. As
already announced Judge Buchanan will
not stand for re-election aDd there are a
number of alleged aspirants for that
place, among them Solicitor Jno. S.
Wilson, of Manning, Mr. R. 0. Purdy
and Mr. T. B. Fraser, of Sumter, and Mr.
N .. Geo. Galletly, of Florence. As Mr. Purdy
and Mr. Wilson are brothers-in-law, one
or the other of them may not make the
race. As yet there lias been no announced
opposition to Judges Gage,
Aldrich, Klugh and Watts. Judges
Ernest Gary and Townsend were re-elected
last January.
It is stated, however, that Judge Benet
has a formidable opponent, Mr. Clias. G.
Dantzler, of Orangeburg. Mr. Dantzler
* is supported by the Orangeburg delegation
as a unit. He is an alumnus of
Wofford and a lawyer of splendid reputation.

Wh.it. is t.lm nso for some of the news
papers of this State to keep harping upon
the fact that McLaurin controls the federal
patronage in this State and has Democrats
appointed to office? For our part
we would rather see good democrats, who
^11 not change their party affiliations foi
the sake of office, put in "office any day
rather than have republicans appointed
to the same office, and if President Roosevelt
should appoint negroes as postmasters
and revenue collectors he would be
burned in effigy in South Carolina. Aparl
from McLaurin's own beliefs on national
issues, he should be upheld by our people
in his efforts to have good men appointed
to federal offices in this State.?Newberry

Attempted Train Robbery.
(-apt. ^\. II. C iir.stv 11, t?'!i<!ii*. i*?r on Lie i
Southern Kail way train hot ween Charleston
and Columbia, who liad the thrilling
experience with a jobber near Station 5s j
last "Wednesday night, returned to 11?e J
city yesterday. While his train was rattling
through the darkness ('apt Carsten
was peeping down the barrel of a 14-ralibre
revolver; but lie was not rutllcd and
his coolness prevented serious trouble.
His timely appearance thwarted the robber
in his evident intention of forcing
open the express car and he disappeared
before the messengers had opened their
car.
"I am confident that the man was tlior- j
oughly familiar with railroad affairs," i
said Capt. Carsten to a reporter for The .
News and Courier yesterday. After we
left Reevesville, on the way to Columbia,
I walked from the passenger car to the
platform leading to the express car and.
as I opened the door, I saw a figure
crouched by the opposite door. lie had
been knocking on the door and I am sure
he was waiting for it to be opened, but
in the rush his signal was probably not
heard.
"The light which came from the car
fell on the stranger's face and I could see
that he was disguising his identity behind
a mask. When I spoke to him he rose
quickly. Just then I walked to the platform
of the express car and the man
swung back to to the steps on the ear behind.
While I was trying to find out
what he was about he whipped out his
pistol and shoved it dangerously near my
face. He threatened to kill me if I moved
and there was nothing for me to do but
wait.
"While he had me covered with the revolver
I scrutinized him closely. I could
see that he wore a mask, which did not
fit him well, and he was nervous about it
frequently lifting his hand to sec that it
was properly in place. In a few minutes
the engineer blew his signal for station
No. 58, and the stranger caught the bell
and gave it two pulls, a signal to stop.
The train was slowing down for 58. It
was running at the rate of fifteen or eighteen
miles an hour when the man jumped
off and we went on. The matter was reported
to headquarters in Columbia when
we got there last night and a detective
came down on the train this morning. I
have not heard yet whether he struck any
trail"
Station 58 is where Bartow Warren is
alleged to have robbed an express car
about two years ago. Warren was arrested,
but at the trial in Orangeburg the
jury failed to agree on a verdict and the
prisoner was released on bail. Later he
shot and killed a young man named Wat.tv
v-.ni. i i,?.l
son at i>rancuvine ueeausc u ntsuu u.ut
testified for the prosecution. Warren
disappeared and it is thought that lie is
still hiding in Orangeburg county. He
has friends who will doubtless protect
him.
The report got started yesterday that
Warren was the man who had threatened
Capt. Carsten, but this was not confirmed.
Capt. Carsten says he has seen Warren,
and the stranger on the car was just about
Warren's size. He says he weighed about
140 pounds. His face was so well disguised
that his features could not be
picked out. He did not say that the man
was Warren.
The railroad people, or rather the train
crew, thought that the stranger was planning
to hold up the express messengers,
but found that the scheme could not work
after he had been found on the platform.
Rather than have a shooting scrape they
think he left, but it was generally believed
that the messengers would have
had an inning with the robber had not
the conductor appeared on the platform
when he did.?News and Courier.
TRIED TO ENTER EXPRESS CAR.
An effort to gain entrance iuto the
Southern Express car of the Southern
train was made near Branchville last
night. It is believed that the attempt
was made for the purpose of robbing the
express messenger.
The train which left the city last evening
was boarded at the 58 mile post near
the point where Bartow Warren is said
- - i J ?i *
lO nave ruuueu an express eai auvui iwu
years ago. The man knocked on the car
door, just as did Warren, the alleged
train robber, but the express messenger
did not respond to the knock. Captain
Carsten of the train had occasion to open
the baggage car door to go through the
train and as he opened the door a pistol
was thrust under his nose and the man
who held the weapon commanded him to
get back inside and close the door. The
command was obeyed.
The news boy on the train who opened
the door and was ordered to seek cover
at the point of a pistol.
When the train reached Branchville
tqe man jumped from the train and tied
into the woods. There is no clue as to
the identity of the party. The matter lias
been reported to the railroad authorities
here. The express authorities have also
been notified. The railroad authorities
are of the opinion that the fellow was
only a tramp stealing a ride, and used his
weapon to prevent the conductor from
putting him off the trail!.?Charleston

In a letter to Mr. J. K. Blackmail, cd
itor of the Greenville JNews, Senator John
L. McLaurin gives some very timely and
interesting information as to the manner
in which foreign governments pay subsidies
to their ship owners and the amount
paid by each government. Most of the
figures are official, being taken from the
' report of the commissioner of navigation
for the year 1899. According to the senator's
statement. Great Britain pays in
various ways the sum of $5,851,525. Germany
pays $1,894,620. France pays $7,632,242.
Italy pays $2,185,260. Russia
pavs $1,371,187. Austria pays $1,724,249.
Spain pays $1,629,927. Japan pays $3,492,107.
All of the other countries that
have ships pay subsidies in varous
amounts, and the total subsidies paid by
foreign nations foot up $20,355,001. The
United States is now paying $998,211 an1
nually. In his communication Senator
' McLaurin does not attempt any argument,
but contents himself with a bare
1 statement of facts. The situation in
1 which he leaves some of the South Carolina
politicians is interesting. It is like
this: Do we want a merchant marine of
' our own, or do we prefer to continue
' paying freight bills to foreigners? If we
' want a merchant marine of our own, can
' we reasonably expect to build up such an
' enterprise in competition with the subsi'
dized foreign concerns without paying
'' subsidies ourselves? If the foreigners
' find it to their advantage to subsidize
their ships in order to put them in a position
to carry our freights, would it not
pay us to give equal or greater subsidies
and carry our freights ourselves. There
may be, as some of our contemporaries
1 claim, a "Republican steal'' in this sliip5
subsidy idea; but to our view it looks
5 more like a plain case of business, in
J which we are allowing the foreigners to

Laurin had nothing to do with it. It is

i securing it. The President and Cabinet
i also recognize McLaurin as the chief
; worker in the matter. McLaurin claims

A (JueiT Movement.
That is a nuccr Movement on the part
of State Chairman Jones. Finding that
his home business interests <lo not permit
hint to make the race for the Senate, lie
withdraws and urges the other candidates
to do the same so that (Jen. Wade Hampton
may receive the unanimous vote for
the United States Senate. The movement
is f|Ueer because:
1. Mr. Jones did not sec the propriety
of the suggestion until he found it was
not convenient for him to run.
2. The suggestion presupposes that the
half dozen men who have declared themselves
candidates have a right to select a
Senator of the United States front South
Carolina.
:>. It would permit Mr. Jones, and the
other candidates to say, not only the kind
of man but the kind of Democracy, South
Carolina wants?and that is the real point
at issue in the State.
There is a verv commendable sentiment
involved in the plan proposed, but this is
the day of practical politics, and commonsense
should prevail. The attempt
is making in certain ([uarters to commend
the candidates who adopt Mr. Jones' idea
and to condemn any who may not. There
is no sense in that. Suppose all shall
adopt it?then a handful of men would
say who is to be the Senator from this
State, and the people would have no voice
in the matter. It must be left to them to
say. If they shall say Hampton is the
man they want, then the wrong of 1890
will be wiped out?not otherwise.?Newberry

THE LONELINESS OF THE ENGLISH
LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS.
it the Hliihop Station the Sentinel
That LlfchtM the Wave* Live* In Almost
L'tter Isolation ? A Service
With Few Enticliitf Feature*.
During the storms that rage intermit:ently
around the English coast in wiu:er
the landsman's mind turns in sympathy
toward those who in ship or lifeboat
are lighting the waves for dear
ife. Eut how often does he give one
:hought to the men who immure themselves
in the lighthouses that stud the
?oast?
I would rather spend my life in a
penal settlement than be a lighthouse
deeper," declared a man to the writer
ifter a visit to the Bishop lighthouse,
iff the Cornish coast. "A convict does
?ee a little of the world he lives in, but
i lighthouse keeper sees nothing but a
Ireary expanse of water. I am not surprised
that many of them should lose
:heir mental balance."
The visitor to the Bishop lighthouse
lid not overcolor the picture. It was
only the other day that one read of the
Longships lighthouse, also off the coast
of Cornwall, having been completely
isolated for many weeks in consequence
of fearful storms. The keepers had
hcen reduced to smoking coffee, hops
ind tea leaves, though, fortunatoly,
they had not wanted for food.
The keepers of the famous Eddystone
ighthouse not infrequently find themselves
In a similar predicament. In a
?ale the waves that buffet themselves
igainst this wonderful monument to
the engineering skill of the country are
of 6uch stupendous magni^ile that
they rise to a height of 200 feet and
iweep right over the lantern. To those
looped up inside the sound of these
waves is like that of a battery of guns
it close quarters. "At such times the
house shakes like a tree with a man
on the 1op of It," was the graphic description
of one who spent many years
of his life there.
The new Eddystone Is the roomiest
and most comfortable of all our rock
lighthouses. A sectional view of It
Bhows the various compartments, commencing
at the bottom with the water
tank; then the entrance, the two oil
receptacles, the storeroom, the crane,
the living apartment, the low light, the
bedroom and the service room In the
order named. Formerly only two
keepers were employed in the lighthouse,
but a grim incident resulted In
their number being Increased. One of
the two men died. So fierce ran the
seas that the remaining keeper could
not get the body of his late comrade to
the shore. For a month the tempestuous
weather continued, and for a
month the surviving keeper lived alone
with the body as his only companion.
He was afraid to cast it into the
waves, for be might be accused of murder.
Keepers of rock lighthouses do not
last long. The incessant pounding of
the waves against the building, the
loneliness, the want of fresh air and
exercise reduce the men to a state of
nervousness that is sometimes pitiful
to behold. They require a fortnight's
leave every six weeks, but this liberal
allowance does little to improve their
? t ' ?' A maHI/inl mnn trhnflP
PIiyblL'Ul DU11U* XI. U1^U4\,U? U4MM II
duty it is to pay periodical visits to
one of those lighthouses confesses that
there is no remedy for the ills peculiar
to the keepers except retirement.
The utter isolation of the silent sentinels
of our coast Is well illustrated by
the case of the Bishop lighthouse aforementioned,
which stands right out in
the Atlantic. Not once in a year is It
calm enough for the superintendent to
land his stores at the lighthouse flteps.
They have to bo hauled up by means
of a w'ndlass from above. A visitor
bold enough to visit the place is "admitted"
in a similar way. lie places
one fot in a noose at the end of a rope,
which is thrown down to his boat, and,
gripping the rope firmly above his
head, he Is drawn i?p to the "see off,"
as the plinth around the lighthouse is
called. Thence he climbs up a perpendicular
ladder to the door of the
house.
Superstition adds a terror to the life
of the men In this lighthouse, for the
first structure was washed away
bodily, and the keepers believe that the
rock is haunted, A fear of a different
kind keeps the men qf Muckle Flugga
lighthouse, the most northern point of
Scotland, on the tenterhooks of a terrible
suspense. On three occasions the
huge black rock on which the lighthouse
stands hag been shaken by an
earthquake,
There is something coiplcal, though
characteristic of the stiff necked Scot,
In a story which comes from a neighboring
lighthouse which is the charge
of two families. They live on a desert
Island. From year end to year end
they never see a visitor except the man
who brings their' stores. Eighteen
months ago the heads of tho two families
quarreled, and ever since they have
ceased to speak.
At the shore lighthouse of JTshfnlsh
the keeper's family has to travel 40
miles to "kirk.'' It is no reflection on
their piety to add that they are not
regular attendants.
A lighthouse keeper receives a maximum
vrage of ?75 a year, out of which
ho has to supply his own rations. These
consist .of such unappetizing edibles as
tinned beef and bard biscuits, usually
washed down with weak tpg. and condensed
milk. No intoxicating liquors
,arp allowed.?London MalL
