I It will be impossible for many farmers f in this section to pay what they owe this j?^^^year> but every one should make an ^^^rR5hest effort to pay as far as he can. If a man wants a credit, he must protect it. Credit will be needed next spring, and both merchant and farmer should treat ?? I each other justly. Our merchants have certainly done well in the matter of holding up the cotton market here this fall. The prices paid here have been higher than at other points in this section, and the merchants of Bamberg deserve the credit for it. The consequence is that we are getting cotton from all sections, and the receipts for this season will be much larger, in proportion, than usual. There is one farmer candidate for governor, viz: D. C. Hey ward, of Walterboro, and he is a man who has never held political office of any kind before. He is no mere politician, and if he does not make a fine showing in the campaign next year, we shall be surprised. In fact, people down this way believe that the man who occupies the gubernatorial chair for the next term will have to beat Heyward and the candidate who beats him will be governor. In 1800 Benjamin R. Tillman made a great ado about the lawyers having control of State politics. It is time for Ben to start a movement in this direction again. The legislature is now composed of a ^large number of lawyers, and the num^ ber who have political aspirations seems to be increasing every year. It is likely that in the campaign next year lawyers will constitute the largest number of candidates for all offices. For the U. S. Senate, there is Mr. Johnston, Mr. Hemphill, and Mr. Henderson, while several other lawyers are spoken of as possible candidates. The following lawyers are spoken of as candidates for governor: M. F. Ansel, Jas. H. Tillman, Jno. C. j . Sheppard, and possibly others. For congress in this district a number of lawyers! will be candidates: Mr. Thorpe, of Aiken; J. W. Thurmond, now solicitor; m ' G. Duncan Bellinger, now attorney general : and J. 0. Patterson. Then, there will, of course, be a number of legal lights y'-.- who will aspire to legislative honors. In view of the great number of candidates for public office from the ranks of the legal iraternity, it uugut uc piupw w inquire if lawyers constitute a majority of the population of South Carolina. TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS. E'ections were held in several States, as well as in the city of New York, last ]y: v Tuesday, and we give the results below: Seth Low was elected mayor of Greater New Yrork, defeating Edward C. Sheppard, the Tammany Hall candidate, by a plurality of about 40,000 votes. The fus: V ion ticket was also elected in most of the counties. New York's next legislature will txrcmiipused of 64 Republicans, 40 Democrats, and 21 Fusionists. Van Wyck, the present mayor of New York, was badly "beaten for supreme court judge. Ohio went Republican as usual, Nash, the Republican candidate for governor, defeating Kilbourne, Democrat. In Maryland the Democrats were successful, and they will have a Democratic majority in the legislature. This means that Arthur P. Gorman will be re-elected TJ. S. Senator. The Democrats won the usual victory gjg? ' in Virginia, and their State ticket is elect '*[ ed by at least 25,000 majority. In Pennsylvania the Republicans seem to have carried the day, and Quay still hojd^iliat State. !I ^/'Massachusetts elected a Republican y-' legislature, but the Democrats gained { some votes. In Kentucky the Democrats seem to have carried everything, and the next legislature will have an increased majority of Democratic members. Nebraska, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Iowa went Republican. The labor candidate for mayor of San Francisco was elected, running away ahead of his Republican and Democratic competitors. Shooting in Edgefield. Edgefield, November 5.?Mr. Henry C. Watson was shot and it is thought - mortally wounded on the public square of town last night about 0 o'clock bv Dr. P Luther W. Jones. Both parties run livery stables and there is sharp rivalry between them. No eyewitness to the deplorable tragedy has yet been found. General rumor has it that Arthur Townsend, a r?~ negro boy in the employment of Dr. Jones. had made certain statements to Dr. Jones about Mr. Watson, which Mr. Watscn denounced as untrue, and accosted the negro about it, and gave him a thrashing * inai ine negro repurwu to i/?. .iwu t, auw Jones met Watson and asked liini about the matter.

An intelligent glance at the statistics i showing the movement of cotton since ! the opening of the new season on September 1 is rewarded by the knowledge that Southern mills are buying quite liberally of the lint, their purchases running quite significantly ahead of their takings at the corresponding period last year. It is revealed, too, that several factors must be given consideration in deducting conclusions from the movement. That the crop is late is admitted: that the crop is short is conceded only partially; that planters are holding for higher prices is more than likely. But to no one of these elements is the tardy movement as compared with the past two years due. It appears most probable that the present situation is due to the influences of a combination of these factors. But there are other facts to be considered. The statistics of this year's crop would indicate that Northern spinners, in this country and also foreign mills, have taken less of the "vegetable wool" than they did a year ago, shipments to Northern manufacturers and exports showing a decline from the corresponding time last year. But it is to be remembered that these statistics refer to "spot" cotton; they do not reveal contracts for supplies that have been placed. It is reported, howT ever, oil gooa authority mat 1101 a iew of the largest Northern mill interests have placed orders for their entire season's needs during the past few weeks. This is important. A great change of sentiment has come over the textile interest, as reflected in New York dry goods circles during the past ten days, which is finding vent in the making of wagers that middling cotton will reach 10 cents before the first of January and 12 cents during the current commercial year. Just what European spinners are doing can be surmised only, but that they are not far behind?if not ahead of their Yankee competitors in protecting themselves against the sharp and rapid rise now believed to be foreshadowed we have abundant experience to draw conclusions from in their favor. The fact that goods in stock are appreciating seems to offset the pressure which the previous slow movement of yar?o antl fftbrice entailed upon the foreign manufacturer. The same remark too, is not applicable to the Fall River print cloth mills which a few days ago announced a stock of 500,000 pieces of gray cloths notwithstanding the recent activity on an advancing market.?New York Commercial. Invites Asriiiuaido to America. The editor of the Pocohontas Sun, published somewhere in Kansas, molds a lot of truth into a small wad when he indites the following open letter to the leader of the Philippine patriots: "Agui, you do not know what a good thing you are missing by not wanting to become a citizen of this grand country of ours, there is nothing else like it under the sun.

The Association was schedi uled to meet with Mt. Calvary church, j near Elko, but on account of sickness in the community the executive committee of the Association changed the place and Blackville was selected. Notwithstanding the unexpected change, at late day, there was a very good representation from the churches present the first day. The Association was called to order by the moderator. l)r. \\\ 1). liice, and the first thing in order was the introductory sermon by Bro. \V. G. Brittou, the colporter of the Association. Bro. Britton preached an excellent sermon from the text, "Sir, we would see Jesus." After the sermon the body was organized by the enrollment of delegates and t he election of officers as follows: W. D. Kice, moderator; \V. D. McMillan, clerk, and J. A. Jenkins, treasurer. These brethren had served the Association so acceptably for several years that it was the work of only a moment for Bro. C. E. Hurts to cast the unanimous ballott of the hotly for the same officers. There is no good reason for changing tlie officers of our Associations, ami of the Convention, when we are so fortunate as to have men competent, who understand the work before them and who have the respect and confidence of the brotherhood. The morning session was taken up with the sermon, the organization, the appointment of committees, arranging the order of business and certain announcements. The delegates and visitors went to the homes in the town and community for dinner, where they spent the remainder of the afternoon in a social way. At night a large congregation gathered and after devotional exercises, conducted by Bro. W. M. Jones, the popular Williston pastor, the report on State Missions was read by Bro. G. N. Askew, and was further discussed by Bro. Askew and Dr. Bailey. After this the newspaper representatives and Colporter Britton occupied a few moments in speaking of their work. Friday the Association was largely attended and a large amount of business was transacted. The devotional exercises were conducted by Bro. M. L. Lawson, the new pastor of the Bamberg church. The report on the Aged Ministers was not at hand, but the subject was discussed by A. J. S. Thomas and Dr. Bailey, and a good cash collection was taken. The report on Home Missions was read by Bro. \V. M. Jones and discussed by Dr. It. W. Sanders, vice president of the board for this State. Bro. Sanders, is at home in the Barnwell Association, in which lie grew up and where he has very many friends. The report on the Bible and Col port age work was read by Bro. W. 1). McMillan and discussed by Brethren Britton, T. II. Garrett, R. W. Sanders and S. G. Maylield. The report on the Orphanage, prepared by Bro. Arthur Buist, and read by Bro. J. W. Gaines, was discussed by Bro. Gaines and Bro. Britton, who took a good collection, a number of the delegates promising to send syrup from their churches. The report of the executive committee was read by Bro. W. D. McMillan, and after some discussion was adopted. The report makes recommendations for future work in the associations and counties, the colportage work by Bro. Britton, one of the best colporters the State has ever had. A resolution was offered by Bro. W. A. B. Newsom, and unanimously adopted, giving Mt. Calvary the refusal of the next meeting of the Association, inasmuch as they were disappointed this year after having made arrangements for the meeting. Other matters of interest were to come up Friday night and Saturday but we could not remain longer, and took our departure Friday afternoon, after two days very pleasantly spent with the Barnwell brethren. During the meeting, along with Dr. Bailey, Bro. Lawson, and Prof. Gaines and several several sisters, delegates and visitors, we enjoyed the hospitality of Sister D. P. Sojourner. We also enjoyed being in the home of our friend and school mate of former days, Dr. J. II. E. Milhous, who drove us to the famous Healing Spring, about three miles out from town, where there is one of the finest springs of pure, fresh water it has ever been our pleasure to see. The water has some mineral, and it is considered fine for dvsnensia. It comes out of the ground in a spout as large as a man's arm, and makes a considerable stream as it flows away. Near by is the Healing Spring church, one of the oldest churches in the Association. The Blackville Baptists have one of the neatest houses of worship in that section of the State. It is built of pine, modern style of architecture, tower on one corner with entrance, also entrance on the other corner in the front, inclined floor, neatly carpeted, baptistery back of pulpit, dressing room attached. The windows arc memorial, made of art glass, and with the neat pine finish on the interior give a most pleasing and attractive appearance. While the Blackville Baptists are proud of their church building, and they have good reason for so being, they seem to think more of their pastor than they do of their house, and who shall say they ought not ? Bro. Burts has won the hearts of all the people there-about, and they say that he is the best pastor and preacher in the State. He is indeed a most lovable brother, a man of great strength of character and a preacher of rare ability. He is a graduate of Purman and Seminary, and the son of the beloved Rev. R. W. Burts, pastor of the Honea Path church. We had the pleasure of meeting Brethren J. D. Moore, of Barnwell, and Bro. M. L. Lawson, of Bamberg. These pastors have recently come to us from North Carolina, and Georgia, respectively, and they have made a fine impression upon our people. They are men of fine spirit, culture, religion and good common sense. They have already taken strong hold on the people anil we predict Messed results from their ministry. They have received a warm welcome and they already feel at home. Bro. W. M. Jones, of Williston, is a native of Virginia, but came to us from North Carolina. lie has been with us longer than the brethren just mentioned. He attended our Convention at Greeni wood whet e he was warmly greeted. These men coming as they do so well equipped : for the Master's work will fiud a tine field for the use of their gifts in the Barnwell ; Association. We extend them cordial greeting and wish for them great success and usefulness in the work.?Baptist Courier. | To the Public. . Allow me to say a few words in praise . of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

It is stated that the secretary of war is considering the case of Lieut. W. P. Crawford, of Chester. The following dispatch from that city tojthe New York Sun gives the particulars of his troubles.Lieut. W. P. Crawford, U. S. A., whose bravery at Manila was rewarded by recommendation for promotion, is bitterly condemned here for having jilted Miss l lebecca Douglas on the morning of their wedding day. When it was known that President McKinley would promote the gallant soldier the business men of Chester signed a petition urging the [' resident to withhold the appointment. Then the story of the love affair came tut. Before the Spanish war, Crawford was editor of the Chester Lantern. He was a rollicking sport and was seized with the war fever. While living here he had won the heart of Miss Douglas and the engagement was announced. Sonic time ago he obtained leave to come here and marry, and all plans for the wedding hail been made. With the money earned as a trained nurse. Miss Douglas bought a trousseau. Many handsome presents had been received. Crawford was with her the evening before the day fixed for the wedding, i nc next morauig nc wimc Mrs. Douglas that he diil not love her daughter and the ceremony was called off. The young woman was heart broken. She put away her trousseau, returned the presents sent by her friends, and is now in Raleigh, N. C. Crawford says that he would not marry Miss Douglas after finding that he did not love her, but his former friends declare that he acted in bad faith. It is stated that Crawford may be dropped from the army. Jumped on a Ten Penny Nail. The little daughter of Mr. J. N. Powell jumped on an inverted rake made of ten penny nails and thrust one nail entirely through her foot and a second one half way thorough. Chamberlain's Pain Balm was promptly applied and five minutes later the pain had disappeared and no more suffering was experienced. In three days the child was wearing her shoe as usual and with absolutely no discomfort. Mr. Powell is a well known merchant of Forkland, Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and heals such injuries without maturation and in one third the time required by the usual treatment. For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy. The Home for Veterans There is a difference of opinion as to the propriety and practicability of establishing a State home for Confederate veterans. There was a meeting in Anderson last week and the old soldiers talked the matter over. One of them seemed to express the opinion of the others Avlien he said that the Veterans did not want a State home which would cause them to be separated from their old friends and families. They preferred to live in an humble home where the gentle ministrations of wife or children or kind neighbors would bring solace to tbein in their last days. The matter will be brought before the Legislature for their consider ation. Should they establish a State Home ? Or would it be better to provide for a home in each county desiring it ? Or would it be better to increase the pension fund somewhat and have no home? Jusr, now, with the light before us and the conditions confronting us, we incline to the latter plan.?Carolina Spartan.

Morrison's Strang Story. Wayckoss, Ga., November 1.?An unusually interesting story comes from Charlton county, where court has been in session this week. H. Reed Morrison, a prominent citizen ofMoniac, was granted a divorce in the court, there being no opposition to his suit. Morrison stated to the jury that lie lived in South Carolina prior to his removal to this state, three years ago. when lie came to Moniac and accepted a position as sawyer for the Dyal-Upcliurch Lumber Company. He said that oue night while he lived in South'Carolina he was met by a trio of men, heavily armed with Winchester rifles. He was told that he must either marry a certain young lady of the community or prepare to pass in his checks. The woman in question was a sister of one of the men in the party. He was held in custody at the point of the dangerous looking rides until the lady, the license and an officer of the law could be secured, and thereupon they were made man and wife. According to Morrison's version of the affair, as soon as the ceremony had been performed he was set at liberty and as soon as possible left the state of South Carolina and had not returned there since. Never having from that day until the present time looked upon the face of the woman whom he married that night in the road. After hearing his story, and there being no opposition to the proceedings, the jury granted the divorce asked for. Did You Know This? Do you know that a neglected cough or cold leads to consumption ?

C., in a corn field, one is pointed to the spot where once stood two chimneys, marking the ends of a 'double pen log house.' This was the birthplace and early home of Holland Nimmons McTyeire, until the removal of the family to Alabama when he was a boy in his teens. Into this humble home came the Methodist itinerant, the Rev. W. 0. Kirkland, who was also an old Barmvell county boy, and whose birthplace and later home is within the bounds of this circuit.
