From the great number of mercantile
establishments destroyed by fire in this
. State in the past few weeks, it seems to
* be very evident that some merchants are
" selling out to the insurance companies.
Our congratulations to Editor Gonzales,
of the Columbia State on his marriage.
"We have had the pleasure of an acquaintance
with his charming bride for a
- number of years, and she is indeed a
most noble woman.
Now comes the rumor from Columbia
that Governor McSweeney may be a
candidate for congress from this district.
This is not news to us, however. There
have been rumors to this effect in this
county for some time, and we have been
of the opinion for several months that
McSweeney would be a candidate. The
campaign in this neck of the woods prom<
ises to be exceedingly interesting.
With McSweeney from Hampton; Bellinger
and Patterson or Aldrich from
Barnwell; Croft or Thorpe from Aiken;
Williams and Thurmond from Edgefield;
with Bamberg yet to hear from, won't
we have a great campaign in this district
next year. All of the above have been
mentioned as candidates for congress, and
it is possible that there may be others not
yet heard from. Let 'em come; the more
the merrier, for the newspaper man will
get $5 out of each one.

Bamberg, will no doubt build water
works, the money to be raised by bonding
the town. The citizens there want
protection against fire, and a destructive ,
conflagration in the business portion of
their town a few nights ago was a fine object
lesson. Bamberg should have a
^ system of waterworks. We have suffer- j
ed badly by fire in the past, and yet we 1
have now absolutely no protection. The 1
chances are that we will find out later j
that we are practicing poor economy. :
All this talk about so-called "Commercial
Democrats" leaving the Demo_
cwttin party is the veriest kind of rot, and
is done by the oppents of these ideas in i
order to drive men away from the move- *
ment. Scores of the men who endorse
the. movement are among the best citi- <

truer patriots and Democrats?men whose <
social, moral and financial fortunes are j
indissolubly connected with the white ]
people of South Carolina, and they will *
always be found in the ranks of white j
men and patriots. .
igSfc ^ i
Right here in Bamberg county we have '
fliP" "" spilled their blood for South 1
Carolina in the late war, and came home '
penniless when the bitter struggle was .
ended. Then they took up the work of j
reconstruction, and the carpet baggers 3
and mean negroes had no more bitter
foes. They did good work in ridding the
State of negro rule, and they will never
go into the Republican party. They be- 4
. lieve in a Democracy of progress- and ]
they will battle for ideas they believe to 1
be right in the Democratic party, and all :
they ask is a fair deal. !
- -There is no doubt but that this is one ]
of the gloomiest years the people in this i
section have ever experienced, but we hope
that everything will work out right j
in the end. There should be a mutual ,
f *
spirit of bear and forbear between debtor (
and creditor, and every man should at- <
tempt to pay his debts. Of course there j
are many who cannot pay all they owe, j
but they should pay what they can. The
creditor should be lenient with those who 1
show a disposition to pay, for harsh meas- ]
ures in some instances make it impossible
to collect anything. Let us all look to the 1
. future hopefully, for we cannot make *
conditions better by grumbling and look- :
ing sour.

had been murdered, probably about mid- s
night. Mr. Baker was a collector for a
leading grocery house and yesterday collected

Trouble at Clemson.
Serious trouble is reported from Clemson
college. A representative of this
paper has secured reliable information
of an uprising of students and of an assured
victory of the students. It is
thought the trouble will cause one of the
professors who is well known there to
cease to be a member of the faculty.
It seems that recently Prof. \V. S. Morrison,
teacher of history. gave great offense
to some members of the senior class
and that the professor had become very
obnoxious to many members of the
student body. In a late instance some of
the seniors considered themselves grossly
insulted, and Cadet Lister, a football
leader, organized himself into a grievance
commitee and demanded an apology. An
illlllllUll'U VUilt U^aiiuii ui uu ui. i >> v v. xi
teacher and pupil. Prof. Morrison carried
the case to the faculty and, it is
claimed by the students, suppressed some
of the facts. Lister was suspended.
The students, particularly the senior
class, were angered by this action. It
happened that it was time for a meeting
of trustees and the matter was brought to
their attention. Notice was served in a
dignified manner by the seniors that if
Lister was not immediately reinstated
the entire class would leave, and the
juniors made a similiar announcement.
It is said that the trustees ordered
Lister reinstated at once and ornered
Prof. Morrison to apologize to the boys,
which he did. The trustees are also said
to have assured the boys that they would
only have to accept apology as a temporary
expedient, from which it is inferred
that Prof. Morrison will resign.
Prof. Morrison is well known in the
city and county, having been educated at
Wofford and having lived at Wellford.
He is a fine teacher and is generally respected.
It seems, however, that he has
always been somewhat severe towards his
pupifs and uprisings against him by the
boys have been narrowly averted several
times. While superintendent of publicschools
at Greenville he was attacked by

Newspaper Man Married.
Columbia, Nov. 14.?This morning at
8 o'clock, at Manning, S. C., Mr. N. G.
Gonzales and Miss Lucie Barron were
married. They arrived here at 11:30 a.
m. spent a few hours at the homeofCapt.
W. E. Gonzales and left at 5:30 p. m. for
the north. Mr. Gonzales is the editor-inchief
of The State newspaper. His
mother was Miss Elliott of Beaufort, and
his father was Gen. Gonzalvo Gonzales,
a Cuban patriot, who was Gen. Beauregard's
chief-of-staff in the war between
the states.
Mr. Gonzales began newspaper work
on the News and Courier, under Capt. F.
W. Dawson, and in 1801 started The
State newspaper, which, with the aid of
his brothers, has become a leading southern
journal.
Miss Barron is the daughter of the late
Col. B. Pressly Barron of Manning, a gallant
soldier and an influential citizen of
South Carolina. Miss Barron was, by a
flattering vote elected by the legislature,
last January, to take charge of the state
library. Mr. Gonzales there met her and
their admiration for each other soon led
to an engagement.
Miss Barron was a woman of strong
intellectuality, and yet of gentlest and
most loveable temperament. She has
many admirers over the state.
Jtie marriage was a very quiet affair.

Manning, November 14.?The distinguished
editor of The State, Mr. N. G.
Sonzales, and Miss Lucie Barron were
married here this morning. The Rev.
Dr. Reed, of the Presbyterian Theological
Seminary in Columbia, performed the
ceremony. This was made necessary
;>wing to the recent illness of the bride's
pastor, the Rev. F. W. Gregg. The

brothers. Dr. C. W. Barron, of Columbia,
md Mr. Frank E. Barron, of Wisacky,
brothers of the bride, also came down.
The affair w*as a very quiet one, there
being no general invitations, and only

kvere present. The presents were many

Serious Fire in St. Matthews.
St. Matthews, Nov. IS.?Today about
LO o'clock a tire was discovered iu the
stable loft of Mr. M. Joricky, the wind
blowing quite fresh at the time, and soon
;he warehouse of Mr. G.'W. Arthur was
aflame as well as other sheds and servants'
quarters belonging to Mr. Joricky. At
;his juncture it was hoped the fire would
t>e checked, but not so, for in less than
jne hour the dwelling of Mr. Joricky and
;he store room and two warehouses of
Mr. Arthur were in ashes. The vacant
store adjoining the dispensary caught fire,
jut was put out. At one time the bank,
lispensary, the Hill hotel and the store
)f Mr. A."Adlestein appeared to be doomed
and were only saved by the strenuous
efforts of the brave citizens, white and
Mack, who fought the fire demon so valiantly
that they were saved.
The loss falls heavily 011 Messrs. Arthur
and Joricky, both of whom carried
some insurance, but not sufficient to cover
mvthincr near the loss.
The losses may be summed up as folows:
M. Joricky, loss, $5,000, insurance
|i3,150; Geo. M. Arthur, loss $:?,500, insurance
$2,000; Philip Rich, loss $1,500,
insurance $450.
The business and improvement league
committee some time siuce made a report
'avoring the bonding of the town to erect
waterworks, but the proposition was opposed
by a few, but this tire, near the
rery centre of the business portion of the
own, proves both the wisdom and necessity
of waterworks and that at any reasonable
cost. The fire at one time bid
air to destroy the entire east side of the
own, and but for the valiant work of her
ntizens would doubtless have done so.
The Trouble at Clemson.
Mr. W. D. Evans of Cheraw yesterday
leclared that the publications in regard
o the affair at Clemson have been overIrawn.
He is a member of the board of
rnstees and was present when the six
cadets appeared before the board in belalf
of the senior and junior classes,
rhere was no threat of leaving made by
he cadets in their very respectful petiton,
although they did ask that the trusees
demand the resign mo n of Prof. W.
>. Morrison, who is in charge of the detriment
of history. After a thorough
nvestigation into the matter, the board
ound that it was a misunderstanding on
he part of the cadets as to tlu* import of
he language used by Prof. Morrison.
Phe latter in the presence of the cadet
ommittee declined anyl intention of beng
offensive. He *liad quoted some
>lirases from Sam Jones in regard to
lancing, but did not intend to apply
hem personally.
The board did not sustain the students,
is has been reported, and the rebuke: to
frof. .Morrison was not so severe. The
joard sustained the action of the faculty
n suspending Lister or Rider, or wliat;ver
the cadet's name is?Mr. Evans
;ould not recall it. To Prof. Morriso.i
he board stated that he should be more
careful in future as to his language.
No more trouble is expected, for the
rustees expressed the desire for the mater
to be dropped and the committee of
cadets promised to use their influence to
illay all irritation. Mr. Evans says that
hings are moving along smoothly at
Jlemson and he regrets very much that
he little bubble on the surface has been

Tillman 011 the .Negro.
CiiU Aiiit. November 17.?Senator R. It.
Tillman, of South Carolina, speaking to
the students at Lacrosse today on "The 1
Negro Problem from the Southern Point :
of View," said :
"Residents in the northern states do <
not realize the importance of this race
question. They see but little of the negroes.
who are not numerous up here to
be of any account, and people up here are :
given to the rising on the negro question. 1
I say they are not familiar with the eon- <
ditions or they would feel like the men
in the south.
"The negro has in his heart a secret
longing, but nearly hopeless desire, that
some day may see the amalgamation of
the two races. That is just what we pcot\1n

"You have, perhaps, heard it said that
education will solve the negro problem.
It will not as long as there are so many
dissolute and worthless negroes in the
south. Educate the negro and you leave
in him the thought and belief that he is
a little better than the ordinary negro,
and he does not want to labor any more.
You don't find educated negroes working
in the fields. Then lie gets the idea of
race equality with the white men.
"What do I think of President Roosevelt
inviting Booker T. Washington to
dine with him? Just this: I can see no
fair reason for it. It was not demanded
on any hand. He lowered himself in the
minds of the southern people by doing it
Perhaps President Roosevelt saw something
in the nature of the spectacular in
his act. Perhaps he thought it daring
and original. Personally, I believe that
if President Roosevelt could undo his
act, he would do so."

A Brutal Murder.
One of the most brutal murders which
has occurred in this county in some time
was committed at the place of Nelson !
Shaw, colored, about four miles from the
city, on Saturday night. As a result of a i
terrible whipping, Nathaniel Williams, a <
young colored boy of 11 years of age, lies
dead, and Shaw is behind the bars of the ?
countv jail charged with the murder. It
xi ? n 1 1 _ 1 . 1 1 _ ,
seems mai ?naw nau uie uoy in ins employ.
He used a piece of leather, or hem- i
string as a whip. The leather string had 1
two large knots tied in the end of it,mak- <
ing a most cruel weapon in the hands of
an infuriated man, as Shaw must have
been when he administered the thrashing. ;
After committing his fiendish deed, j
Shaw came to the city and called on Dr. j
Birnie to go out and attend the child. He j
then left the city 011 the way home it ap- (
peared, but was overtaken by Sheriff
Scarborough, who had been notified of
the affair. He arrested Shaw and would
have taken him to the scene of the crime, ?'
but he was advised by Dr. Birnie and ?
others not to, as quite a crowd had gather- ;
ed at the house where the dead boy lay,
and feeling against Shaw was running
high. He sent Shaw back to the city
under the custody of Officer Weeks, and (
he was placed in jail.
The boy, Nathaniel Williams, was dead
before Dr. Birnie reached him. At the
inquest held yesterday morning, Dr. Birnie
gave testimonv which, it is said, will
certainly convict Shaw.
The coroner's jury brought in a verdict
that "Nathaniel Williams came to his
death by wounds administered with a ,
leather strap in the hands of Nelson
Shaw." The boy was found in a terrible ;
condition, having been fearfully mangled ]
by his fiendish assailant.?Sumter Item. 1

Big Fire in Dillon.
Dillon, S. C., Nov. 15.?This busy,
hustling little city has received its baptism
of tire. At 8:30 o'clock llamcs were
seen issuing from a small frame building
near the north corner of what may be
called postoftice block, a range of wooden
buildings on Railroad avenue, running
from Harrison to Cleveland street, and
in about an hour the whole was reduced
to ashes. Had the wind been blowing

Did You Know This?
Do you know that a neglected cough or
cold leads to consumption ? More people
die from the effects of catching cold than
from any other known cause. There is one
remedy, and remember it only costs twenty-five
cents,that has proven a safe, unfailing
cure for coughs and colds. It is called
Mexican Syrup. Y'our druggists has it or
will get it for you. It heals and strengthens
the lungs and breathing passages,
when nothing else you take seems to do
you good you had better get a bottle today
and read the testimonials on the
wrapper.
Have You Worms.
Are you growing thin and sickly? Has
your skin a pale or sallow tinge? Do you
not occasionally feel a hollowr sensation
In the pit of your stomach, or a queer
distress in your bowels ? Do you get easily
vexed, nervous or fidgety? Probably you
are nourishing some stomach worms, a
lengthy tape worm, or else a thousand
pin worms that are devitalizing your entlrp
avatpni Vmi r>ftn pvnpl thpin bv
taking Mother's Worm Syrup. Nothing
else is so effective.
Better Health.
Better health always follows a use of
Mexican Root Pills, simply because they
cleanse the system of sickening and effete
matter so thoroughly and completely. It
is a sin to remain constipated when Mexican
Root Pills only costs 25 cents a box.
The Best Pain Cure.
Is one that is absolutely safe and sure
and that taken internally will cure cramps
!ind colic, or applied external will reduce
swelling and subdue pain. Gooch's Quick

business men is a sort of agent. Last
week he was ill and sent a neighbor to the
track. We don't stop there except on
signal. We were going forty miles an
bour, when the flag was waved and we
stopped. No one was in sight, except
:ho old man with the flag.

44 'Haven't got any,' he replied.
" 'What did you flag us for?'
" 'I thought mcbbe somebody wanted to
^et off here,' was his innocent answer."

"I have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
and have never used anything in my life
that did me the good that did," says
County Physician Geo. W. Scroggs of
[fall county, Ga. "Being a physician 1
tiave prescribed it and found it to give
the best results " If the food you eat remains
undigested in your stomach it decays
there and poisons the system. You
;an prevent this by dieting but that means
starvation. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests
what you eat. You need suffer from
neither dyspepsia nor starvation. The

A letter was received at the postoflice

The postmaster was absent, and on his

him of the receipt of the letter.
"And what became of it?'' inquired the
postmaster.
"Why," replied the clerk, "I didn't
know who the biggest fool in Washing

"And what did you find in it?" inquired
the postmaster.
"Find?" replied the clerk. "Why, nothing

CHEERED THE CENSOR.
Row a Gallnnt Xrlnh Regiment Took
au After Rattle Scoldlnpr.
The leading regiment of our column
was the Fifty-third, commanded that
day by Major Pf.yn, afterward General
Sir William Payn, K. C. B., a very fine
regiment, who, being mostly Irishmen,
were eager to meet their enemy. Meanwhile
I received orders to cross the river
by a ford and get round the enemy's
right flank, and I had gone for this
purpose and was crossing about a quarter
of a mile lower down, when suddenly.
I heard loud cheering and a
heavy musketry fire, and then I saw
our troops gallantly advancing across
the bridge to the assault.
It turned out to be the Fifty-third,
who, tired of the delay under fire and,
It was whispered, hearing that Sir
Colin had sent for his pet highlanders
to take the bridge, took their bits between
their teeth and without any
further orders determined to rush the
tVomoolroa thov flfpni'd
ingly did, and with great success. The
enemy, once forced out of their position,
showed but a poor, desultory
fight and, as at Cawnpur, fell an easy
prey to the cavalry, who, having crossed,
some by the bridge and others, including
myself, by the ford, fell on
them and pursued them with such success
that we captured every gun they
had.
The Fifty-third were well pleased
with themselves and the result of the
fight they had so suddenly initiated,
but we heard that Sir Colin was greatly
annoyed with them and after the action
rated them soundly for their Insubordination.
But little did these
wild Irishmen care. They had had
their fight, and a real good one, so far
as they were concerned, and as Sir
Colin concluded his speech of rebuke
they gave him three cheers, and giving
three cheers more for General Mansfield,
Sir Colin's chief of staff, who
bad formerly commanded their regiment,
they quite upset the chief's equanimity,
but at the same time cleared
away his wrath.?"Old Memories."
