As a general thing the old soldiers seem
to be opposed to the home for Confederate

even if the pension they get is small.
W. P. Houseal is the latest candidate

The Edgefield Advertiser pays us quite
a compliment in reproducing one of our
editorials as its own. That's all right |
contemporary. Only too glad to be of
use to you. But it's a bad idea to do
o , that sort of thing. The people will find
jPPS out sooner or later.
Last Friday Governor McSweeney
stated positively to the Columbia correspondent
of the News and Courier that

congress from this district. So this puts

The up-country has not heretofore
been furnishing many candidates for
State offices, but it is evident that there
will be no lack of up-country material

It is time for newspapers in this State
to quit having hysterics over lynchings.
Just so long as negroes commit outrages
on Southern white women just so long
will lynchings continue. The lynching
! .,-~s^.in Anderson county this week has been
made the subject for several editorials,
but it does no good, so why waste the
space. We are not in sympathy with
lynch law, but we see no good to come of
our shooting off our mouth about it.

into this county. If the good peoPple
of that country are still desirous of
coming into Bamberg county, some steps
should be taken by our citizens to have
the necessary election held. That ter?>%
ritory should really belong to Bamberg
county, and if anything is to be done, it
should be done immediately, for if the
new county scheme, with Allendale as
the county-seat, is successful, that will
cut down the area of Barnwell county to
a great extent, possibly so much that even
the Blackville territory could not then be
cut off, as it would leave the old county
^ less than the required number of square
miles. What do our Blackville friends
say about it? If they want to come into
Bamberg county they will be gladly
welcomed.

Negro Lynched in Anderson.
Anderson, Nov.24.?Laddison, the negro
who yesterday shot, and fatally i
wounded Mrs. Perry Craft has paid the 1
penalty for his crime. He was captured :
today, and after being identified by his .
victim was carried about half a mile from 1
1 the scene of his crime and hanged to a i
limb. The identification was complete i
and before being swung up the negro i
confessed his guilt. It turns out that '
the negro was an ex-convict. He was 1
sent up from Newberry county for three I
years and had been hired to the Cooley 1
convict farm in this county. He com- 1
pleted his sentence several months ago
and has since beeu working as a farm 1
hand, part of the time in that community !
and part of the time across the river in s
Georgia. :
After his attempt on the life of Mrs. ]
Craft yesterday afternoon he made his i
way to the Cpoley place, about six miles <
distant and went to the house of a negro <
acquaintance. The negroes reported his s
presence to the white people and a posse i
surrounded the house about 12 o ciock to- <
day and demanded his surrender. He
surrendered without resistance. i
The negro denied his guilt at first, but :
when examined a bullet hole was found ]
in his right leg, showing that one of the <
shots fired at him by Mr. Glenn yesterday
had taken effect. After being iden- '
tified by Mrs. Craft he confessed. Asked ;
why he committed the crime, he said that
when Mrs. Craft offered him the food
she remarked: "You negroes are always '
around begging." This, he said, angered
him ancl he shot her.
A MOB OF 200.
There were nearly 200 persons engaged
in the lynching, probably 20 of them being
negroes. There was no attempt at
concealment or disguise. The negroes
offered to burn the body, but this was not
permitted, and after life was extinct it .
was cut down and left lying on the
ground. The negro was hanged on a
small hickory tree, the limb being not
more than 10 feet from the ground. A
piece of note-paper was pinned to his
coat, bearing this inscription: "This
negro was hanged for shooting a white
lad}' in this settlement without cause,
Nov. 24,1901."
The lynching, it is said, was participated
in by many leading citizens of the
western side of the county, and there is
general satisfaction that the negro has 1
been so speedily captured and punished.
The news of the lynching did not reach
the city until nearly 6 o'clock, aud since
then many persons have gone out to view
the body.
Mrs. Craft's condition tonight is most
critical. The physicians are of the opinion
that she cannot recover.
HISTORY OF TIIE CRIME.
What was probably the most diabolical
* ~ ^ r\f A ?_
crime ever kliuwu in cue maiuij ui undersoil
county was committed about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the home
of Mr. Perry Craft, eight miles west of
the city, near Robert's church.
Mrs. Craft was alone in the house,
which is about a hundred yards from the
public road. A negro came to the door
and asked for something to eat. Mrs.
Craft replied that there was nothing in
the house, except some cold potatoes and
the negro said he would like to buy five
cents worth of these. Mrs. Craft went
to the cupboard and got the potatoes and
brought them to the negro, but when he
saw them, he seemed to get insulted and
exclaimed, "D?n you, I believe I'll kill
you." Mrs. Craft was naturally frightened
and ran to the opposite side of the
room and started to open a door. The
negro fired at her once, the ball taking
effect in the back, near the spine. Mr.
Craft and Mrs. Craft's father, Mr. Alex.
Glenn, were at work near by and ran to
the house upon hearing the report of the
pistol. Mrs. Craft had left the house and
had gotten probably 100 yards away when
Mr. Glenn reached her and carried her
back to the house.
After firing the shot the negro fled and
Mr. Craft, after securing his pistol from
the house, staited in pursuit of him. He
snapped his pistol at the negro, nut tne
weapon would not fire and the negro in
turn shot three times at Mr. Craft without
effect.
Mr. Lucius Glenn, an uncle of Mrs.
Craft, was at work in a field nGar by and
had his Winchester with him. He heard
the alarm and saw the negro running
from the house. He fired several times
at the negro, but without effect.
The foregoing seem to be the main
facts in the most diabolical crime ever
known in Anderson county. Your correspondent
visited the Craft home late
last night and talked with Mr. Perry
Craft, the husband and Mr. Alex. Glenn,
the father of the wounded woman, and
from them gathered the story as given
above. The negro appears to have been
an entire stranger in that community.
He came walking aloni? the public road
from the direction of Savannah river and
is supposed to have come from Georgia.
After firing the shot he fled from the
scene and a posse was quickly in pursuit.
The surrounding country was quickly
aroused and a telephone * message was
sent to the city from a neighbor's.
Deputy Shoriff Dillingham at once
started for the scene with his blood
hounds, a number of others went from
the city. The dogs were placed on the
trail about two hours after the crime was
committed. They ran the trail for two
or three miles and at one time seemed on
the point of making a capture, but the
trail was finally lost.
Dr. Pepper, who lives in that community
was summoned and he telephoned to
tv>#? v fnr Dr Grav. Thev sav Mrs.
Craft is in a dangerous condition. The
bullet entered the back near the spine,
striking the lower rib on the right side.
The ball followed the rib and then glanced
downward. The doctors probed for
the bullet, but were unable to find it.
Both physicians gave it as their opinion
that Mrs. Craft was in a dangerous condition
and that the wound will probably
result fatally.
The news of the shooting quickly
spread and the whole country was soon
aroused. When the reporters l.eft the
Craft home at 10 o'clock last night there
were several hundred men in the community
searching for the ne<;ro.
After Deputy Sheriff Dillingham lost
the trail at the branch he came back to
the house and started in the direction of
the Savannah river, hoping to strike a
trail in that direction. A number of
parties started out in different directions
and were watching all the road?.. Sheriff
Green waited at his office in the city
until 8 o'clock and then went to the scene
and took personal direction of the search.
There does not appear to have been
the slightest provocation or cause for the
deed. The negro went to the house and
asked for food. "When such as was available
was offered him he became incensed
and fired at the lady. It would appear
that the negro was demented, or if that
was not the case that he totally depraved
and bent upon killing some one.
There was not the slightest attempt or
suggestion of criminal assault.
Mrs. Craft is a young woman only
about 20 years of age. She is a respected
citizen, and was married to Mr. Perry
Craft some five or six months ago. They
had been living with Mr. Glenn but had
gone to housek^njng only about a week
ago.
Jumped on a Ten Penny Nail.
The litfle daughter of Mr. J. N. Powell

L made a tour of the "West. One night, ^
a-bile showing in a small town, 1 made j
i'ise of what I consider my greatest and
most mystifying trick?that of catching

The trick?for it is nothing but .a trick? g
is of itself very dangerous, and it is for

But that night my audience was so en:husiastic
that I resolved to give it.
When I called for a man to step forward

granted that the local bad man?a dead j

\nd he came swaggering up to the plat- ^
form. Well, the trick was a complete ^
uccess, and I was well repaid for the j
lunger that I had run by seeing the look
of amazement on the bad man's face when <
bowed him the marked bullet between
my teeth. After the performance was ^

that trick for the balance of ni3* trip."

Columbia, S. C., November 35.?A ripple
of excitement was created throughout
the state on Wednesday when it was
learned that Dr. James C. Moore, a prominent
young physician, had been arrested
in Marlboro county, charged with
practicing medicine ami surgery without
a licence.
Dr. J. L. Napier, chairman of the state
board of medical examiners, who swore ,
out the warrant, went before the grand

gave out a formal bill of indictment.
Apparently tbi* was a supple case, but
behind it all tbere is a story which is of
intense interest to the entire medical
fraternity in this State.
The general assembly of South Carolina,
at its last session, passed an act, a part of
which reads as follows:
"Nothing in this section shall apply to
regular graduates holding diplomas issued
by any college of established reputation
in this ^tat'e which has a four years-'
course of instruction and a standard of
not less than 75 per cent, on examinations
and make satisfactory evidence of their
standing to the State board of examiners."
This is a test case, and the ambiguity of
the wording of the act makes i: difficult
to comprehend.
The State board has no means of ascertaining
the fitness of graduates save by an
examination, and the public demands that
their Ijypjg shaj) pot be endangered by incompetent
Pfhitf itiop.ers and see up reas/tp
why the Charleston coTlegp graduates '
should thus be favored.
The class has employe" py-Goveruor
John C. Shepard to defend them when? '
ever prosecuted, and he is now in Bpp?

Did You Know This?
Do you know that :i 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 I
remedy, and remember it only costs twenty-live
cents,that has proven a safe, unfail- 1
ing cure for coughs and colds. It is called
Mexican Syrup. Your 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 hollow sensation
in the pit of your stomach, or a queer
distress in your bowels? Do you get easily
vexed, nervous or lidgety? Probably you
are nourishing some stomach worms, a
lengthy tape worm, or else a thousand
pin worms that are devitalizing your entire
system. You can expel them by
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 int ernally will cure cramps
and colic, or applied external will reduce
swelling and subdue pain. Gooch's Quick
Relief does this and only costs 25 cents.
Want iro be Pretty?
Then purify your blood by taking
Gooch's Sarsaparilla, the best of all blood
medicines.
Pile-ine Cores Piles.
Money refunded it ever fails.
Anti-Aoue cures chills and fever.
A Warm Member.
An exchange thus bids farewell to a
departed citizen
"He was a man of push, he played
marbles for keeps when a boy and cheated
all his playmates out of their alleys,
swapped a bladelcss knife for a four
blade', sold that for fifty cents and
bought a dozen of lemons and made a
barrel of lemonade, which he sold on
circus day for $7. He started in business
and sold bad meats for choice cuts
and made money. When he got $1,000
he organized a stock company with $5,000,000,
mostly wa~er, and sold stock at
par. When the company busted, he had
sold out some time before. He died a
millionaire and left it here. It is very
hot where he is now."
Astounding Discovery.
From Coopcraville, Mich., comes word
of a wonderful discovery of a pleasant
tasting liquid that when used before retiring
by any one troubled with a bad
cough always ensures a good night's rest.
"It will soon cure the cough too," writes
Mrs. S. Ilimelburger, "for three generations
of our family have used Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption and
never found its equal for coughs and
colds." It's an unrivaled life-saver when
used for desperate lung diseases. Guaranteed
bottles 50c and $1.00 at J. B. Black's
and Thos. Black's. Trial bottles free.
An irascible German, who recently
lauded in this city, was much irritated by!
the customs inspectors. After he made
his declaration he was charged duty on
$50 worth of ttin iets. He protested that
he had no trinkets, and when shown his
declaration blurted out:
"Ack ! Triiilis! Dot inspector, what
you calls him, ask me what I buy abroad,
and he put down so much dot I told him
I spent $50 for drinks, but I haven't got
them now."?New York Times.
To the Public.
Allow rae to say a few words in praise j
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I had
a very severe cough and cold anil feared
I would get pneumonia, but after taking
the second dose of this medicine I felt
better, three bottjes of it cured my cold
and th'e pains in my chest diappeared entirely.

Six burglars held up an editor in an

gazed on the combined output of the

he declined the invitation.
Frank Stockton tells a delightful fish
story. A gentleman asked a question of
a boy who was fishing. The boy mumbled
an indistinct*response. "Why don't

"What have you in your mouth?"
