Our people will soon be plunged into the turmoil ami excitement of a political campaign for State and county officers, one which promises to be unusually interesting on account of the multiplicity of candidates. We trust, however, that it will be quiet in this county. In the present financial condition of ourpeople.they have no time to waste over politics, but should devote their energies to making a good crop this year, so as to enable them to get out of debt. Senator Tillman is queer sort of a statesman and citizen. In the United States Senate, holding a commission as Senator, he publicly declares that his sympathies are with the Filipinos in their war against the United States. Years ago even a private citizen would have been imprisoned for delivering such a treasonable utterance, and the Senator's inconsistency is plainly shown by the difference of his views on the negro question and the Filipinos. Booker Washington, the well-known 1 negro educator, has been invited to make the commencement address at the University of Nebraska, and his acceptance of the invitation has raised quite a row. Five members of the senior class have declared* that they will not accept diplomas from the institution if Washington makes the address. They are Southerners, and we glory in their good common sense and race pride. They are exactly right, and we hope to see the day when Southern boys and girls will refrain from atteuding^Northern and Western college where social equality with negroes is recognized or practiced. The railroad commissioners asked the legislature for a stenographer and typewriter, to be paid a salary of $800 a year, and while the appropriation passed the house, it was defeated in the Senate, Lieutenant Governor Tillman casting the rfpoi^incr vnte it. heino- a tip At first he voted for it, and a little Interchanged his : vote. This body needs such an official, as their duties are constantly increasing and the necessity for more clerical help is apparent. The Senate made a mistake in ... not passing the appropriation. Other State officials have stenographers whom we warrant have less correspondence jltfP,- than the railroad commission. This newspaper has had many manifestations recently of the favor and goodwill of its constituency, among whom we are proud to number the best and most ||^? intelligent citizens of Bamberg county. This is highly gratifying to us, for we ||| have strived to do our duty by them. We have persistently and earnestly labored !%, for the best interests of this people, with jr an eye single to their advancement and prosperity. That we have made mistakes is possible; that we have incurred the 1 E& enmity of some was to be expected. We ( r learned long since that the newspaper : pC who undertakes to please everybody has pf a hopeless task and the result will be that ' it pleases none. Our conduct in the past ! is what it will be in the future. We shall 1 endeavor to print a readable newspaper, full value for every dollar receiv- 1 ? - ed, and will make improvements as rapid- J ly as the patronage we receive will war^ .v V rant the outlay. Last Wednesday the writer had the [ pleasure of attending the Charleston Ex- 1 ?* position, to attend the exercises of Pythi- ^ an Day, it being our first visit to the ' show. We were prepared to expect a dis- ' ptyy great in conception and greater in 1 accomplishment, but truly the half has ' not been told, and no description which 1 1||:' we have yet read does it justice. In fact 2 no word description can give an adequate idea of the completeness and immensity of the Exposition, and the only satisfying thing to do is to see it for yourself. We earnestly advise every one of our readers ||' to visit the show, assuring them that they will be astounded at the great strides South Carolina has made along industri~ al, manufacturing, educational, and agricultural lines during the past ten years, as shown by the various exhibits there dis- 1 played. They can gain so full a knowl- < edge by no other method, and it will be well worth to every one the time 1 and money it costs just to see what 1 our own State really is doing in the 1 way of progress. The Exposition is on < a much larger scale than we even ex- i pected to find it; there are more buildings and a greater number and variety of ! exhibits. < rThe fisticuff between Tillman and McLaurin in the Senate chamber of the 1 United States last Saturday should bring 1 a blush of shame to the cheek of everv '> South Carolinian. We blame no man for J resenting an insult, but the Senate hall < should not be turned into a prize ring. ; However, we regret that the Senators separated the two belligerents. They should have stood aside and let it be a fight to the finish. While the responsibility for precipitating the row rests upon Senator Tillman, still we cannot hold Senator McLaurin entirely blameless in the matter. It is true he had been goaded beyond endurance by the insulting insinuations of Tillman, but we should have 1 liked his conduct better had he denounced ( Tillman as a liar elsewhere than on the ' floor of the Senate. However there i? 1 one consolation over the affair, which is i ' that Tillman has at last fought for being 1 denounced as a liar. He has had this epi- 1 thet applied to him heretofore on several * occasions in this State, and he never at- 1 tempted to resent it. The worst feature ] of it is that we candidly believe such con- ^ duct truly represents South Carolina, for 1 if Tillman should be expelled for his out- 1 rageous conduct, we have no doubt but 1 that he would be immediately re-elected, which to us would mean an endorsement of his disgraceful action by the people of j the State. c fe . gs- . In this day and time it would appear that courts arc established to clear people. State Senator I). S. Henderson,of Aiken, who is a candidate for United States Senator, no doubt claims to be a great friend of the poor white man, but we notice that last week in the Senate he opposed a resolution appropriating $50,001] extra to the common schools of the State. A great friend of the poor man he is. truly! How many of us who are so ready to condemn McLaurin for calling Tillman a liar on the floor of the Senate would hot have acted just exactly as he did under similar circumstances? It is well to put yourself in his place when considering the matter. We believe that nine out of ten men in South Carolina would have done the same thing, for most of our citizens think the time to nail a lie is as soon as it is uttered, no matter where. It is not likely that President Roosevelt's decision in the Schley-Sampson controversy will be wholly satisfying to the ardent partisans of either, but they can pick no flaws in his reasoning or conclusions. The President has acted wisely in his decision, and it is to be hoped that this will end the controversy. Many of us have long since become disgusted over the unseemly squabble. The decision is eminently fair to each man, giving praise where it was deserved, as well as showing up the mistakes made. A Treatise on Man, Man is a biped possessing a number of idiosyncrasies. To fathom such, would be a life long work. Combined with these peculiarities are many admirable traits as is shown by the number of "caps set" for him. He, however, is greatly averse to being caught and will race himself nearly to death to escape a feminine pursuer. If he can pursue and the object of his affections gives him a lengthy chase, unconquerable determination urges him on and he will climb any heighth, descend any depth, span any breadth to reach his IfiV. He is a cunning animal, he will stand at the door on a cold night and plead with a sullen persistency for "just one sweet heart"; and if she, in her desire to establish her earnestness?poor thing!?submits, he goes off wondering if she ever kissed any other fellow. In a state of singleness he is very independent. He can make a hasty and perfect toilet and be on the minute to till an engagement. Matrimony brings about a reform and in six months after he is a "hubby" he can neither adjust his shirt buttons nor find a pair of cuffs! The temper of this biped is variable. Under the influence of hunger he is ferocious and unmanageable, but give him plenty of apple dumpling and chicken pie, and he lapses into harmony and will submit lamb-like to a search through his pockets and a dozen questions tired at him in rapid succession. He is naturally brave. He can face cannons, endure pain?yea give his life for a just cause, but sickens at a woman's travelling paraphernalia and kicks at every box, bundle, basket, pot plant, birdcage, parasol and lunch sack she hands him. He loves taffy, it pattens and strengthens him, but it is worth your hanniness to tell him so. Feed him slvlv. Measure well the dose, too much will be rejected, too little be no good. A correct amount daily has a happy effect upon him. Man balks furiously when driven with reins of "must" and "must not". "Please John" and "will you dear?" moves him on in a delightful, steady gait. He is a positive nature and wants only negative in his companion, any masculine tendencies are repulsive to him. He is the giant oak, while she must be the clinging vine. If dealt with weapons of love, patience and an occasional "curtain lecture", which by the way, must be administered with great tact, for this animal is immensely opposed to a quarreling woman and will take to his heels at even a high pitched tone of voice. Let him, as I have stated, get all he wants to eat, his slippers and smoking aap on, seated in his easy chair with reading table at his side and then a dainty lecture may be begun, first soft as the fall Df dew, (with a plenty of "you know my dear" intersperosed) and gradually raise the voice and gently hint at the burden jf the heart! Observing these rules rigidly man may be kept with impunity in ill climates and be found to thrive. M. 0.

The interesting Robbius homicide case was up for a hearing before Justice Pope jf the supreme court on a motion for bail Wednesday afternoon. Messrs. D. S. Eenderson, W. II. Townseiul and W. C. Best represented the prisoner, Geo. I). Kirklaud, and Mr. Solicitor Davis, assisted by Col. Robt. Aldrich, represented the State. Simply stated the facts seem to be about is follows: At a party at tbe residence 3f Mr. J. C. Griffin, of Robbins, on the evening of the 31st of December last, while the dancing was in progress, Mr. George Cobb unintentionally gave offence to Mr. Arthur Dunbar. He left the room and in a few moments returned with his father, Mr. George Dunbar, and his brother, Mr. Harry Dunbar, all of whom approached Mr. Cobb in a threatening man ner. Mr. Alfred Bennet interposed to prevent a difficulty, when Mr. George Dunbar drew out his pistol. Mr. F. P. Bennetalso interposed to keep the peace, when he was shot. He then shot George Dunbar dead and a general shooting ensued, the result of which was the killing of Harry Dunbar and the mortally wounding of Arthur Dunbar, who died a few days later of his wounds. After the general shooting was over George Kirkland appeared on the scene and shot F. P. Bennet, who was lying wounded on the floor; it is for this that he is now under indictment for murder. The testimony is said :o be conflicting, it being contended by jim that Bennet was attempting to shoot Jim at the time, while on the other hand t is testified to by several witnesses that Evirklard disarmed Bennet before shootng him. Justice Pope granted bail in he sum of $3,000, with not less than two jormore than five securities.?The State.

St. George, February 19.?This town was shocked this morning when it learned that Mr. D. H. Behre, a prominent young attorney and prospective candidate for Lieutenant Governor in the coming primary for this State, was seriously, if not fatally, burned. The accident occurred at his boarding place, Elmwood Inn, about 2 o'clock this morning. Mr. Otey Reed, a young man, who sleeps at Dr. J. B. Johnson's drug store, first heard Mr. Behre's calls for help and ran to his assistance. Mr. Reed promptly called Dr. Johnston and they went immediately to Mr. Behre's room, where they found him lying in the fireplace fearfully burned about the face and neck. It is thought that the cause of the accident was a stroke of apoplexy. The sympathy of the entire town is aroused by the dreadful misfortune. Great fear is entertained that both his eyes are so badly burned that the sight is entirely gone. Legal business of importance caused Mr. Behre to be up at the late hour of 2 o'clock and he was just preparing to retire when the stroke came upon him. His mother is at iiis bedside, having come over from Walterboro yesterday.

It has now been several weeks since the Branchville train robbery took place and as yet the authorities are apparently as far as ever from a solution of the mystery. Rewards have been offered for the apprehension of the bandits and the country for miles around the scene of the hold-up has been scoured in quest of the guilty parties. But in spite of the skillful detectives and officers of the law generally, who have been at work on the case, the robbers have not been captured. The youug white man and a middle-aged negro, who were arrested and lodged in the county jail here a few days after the robbery occurred, on suspicion of knowing something of the crime, have been released from custody,the Federal officials having satisfied themselves that the prisoners were not the parties wanted. It is the general opinion that the robbery was committed by men who live in the neighborhood of the scene. In that section of the state, however, there is one of the wildest strips of country in the United States. There are some dark and mystery- | ious stories connected with the swamps in ! upper Colleton and lower Barnwell coun- , ties. It is said that strangers entering , them were never seen alive again, and ! it is probable that the bandits who held j up the Southern train will never be , brought to justice.?News and Courier.

Perhaps the most sensational ceremony of marriage that lias ever been performer in New York was the one known everywhere in the United States as the "Diamond Wedding." It was the union of a daughter of Lieutenant Bartlett, of the United States Navy, to a Cuban-gentleman of great wealth, Don Kstaban Santa Cruz de Oviedo. As generous as he was opulent, Oviedo lavished upon the bride more than one hundred thousand dollars' worth of pearls and diamonds. Thenupital rites were solemnized by Archbishop Hughes; Stedman commemorated the event in a poem, and moralists pointed to it as an extraordinary instance of the evils of splendor and luxury that were corrupting American society. So great was the curiosity to witness this wedding that probably for the first time on such an occasion cards of admission were issued to the church. A squad of policemen was required simply to protect the bride and groom from strangers who rushed after them. The magnificient nup tials, it may be remarked, had a melancholy sequel: the bridegroom soon died ; his widow, under the Spanish laws, was ontitlnH Anlt' t/\ frVwx rinrlif /\f rinn'or umi VllblblVU "UIT VV/ buiy 1 I^Ub U1 UW?1 CI , tlllVl all the gifts which he had showered upon her were taken away from her on the ground that legally they were heirlooms. ?March Ladies' Home Journal.

The other day Maurice, aged 7, strayed into the room where Dorothy, aged 4, was being dressed by her nurse. Miss Dorothy was tremendously shocked. "Maurice, go out!" she exclaimed. "Go out at once." Maurice grinned and showed a disposition to take his time. "Maurice!" screamed the little maiden. "Go out at once. Mother will be terribly angry." As the little boy turned to go she continued : "And Maurice, if you are a gentleman, vou will forget what you haye seen!"?Philadelphia Record. For Stomach Troubles.

The disgraceful scenes enacted in the senate yesterday were enough to bring a blush of shame to the cheek of every American, not to say every southern man and Democrat. Tillman and McLaurin ought to be expelled from that body. But it is just to say that Tillman was the aggressor. He first made a charge, without any provocation, against his colleague involving moral turpitude, McLaurin having previously denied the charge which Tillman reiterated, addressing another. The senior senator from South Carolina is rapidly approaching the rabid, mad-dog state. Only the day before he referred to the American soldiers in the Philippines (among whom are many brave and noble sons of the south) as "vermin.1' It is time he was called down?at least repudiated by the best elements in the southern De mocracy. We have no apologies to offer for any mistakes that McL&urin may have made, whatever thp motives that may be behind them, but whatever those mistakes, Tillman's repeated bullying; his coarse, conceited jibes and jeers sink himself only to a very low level. Such a mau should have no place among the leaders of southern thought and Democratic politics. He has at last reached the plane upon which no self-respecting southern man should regard and respect him above the position he has chosen for himself. His constantly recurring tirades in the senate excite disgust. When senators cannot deport themselves as gentlemen, and discuss public questions without invoking the vocabulary of the gutter, and the methods of the bully, it is time to retire them at the first opportunity,and let them seek their equals elsewhere. As a representative, in part, of southern sentiment, and the southern Democracy, we repudiate this rowdyism.?Macon Telegraph. Favorite Nearly Everywhere.

The president has no intention of withdrawing Mr. Koester's nomination, and his friends in the senate arc confident of his ultimate confirmation. It is understood that some of the Republican leaders in South Carolina, who are fighting Koester's nomination, are promising to give the South Carolina delegation to the next republican national convention to any man who will defeat Koester's confirmation.

Lyles, for ten years a member of the body, one of the original Tillman supporters, appealed to the house for protection. His voice trembled with emotion and his face was pale. "I ask the house, I beg you, gentlemen," he said, "to give me protection from the governor's son. Miles B. McSweeney, Jr." There was immediately the keenest'interest, every member turned towards Mr. Lyles and the galleries became hushed. Representative Lyles drew toward him a boy of fourteen and continued : "This is my boy and on the floor of this house the governor's son has spit in his face not once only today, but repeatedly. This thing must stop. I beg protection from the son of the governor of South Carolina." Young McSweeney is about sixteen and of a sportive disposition. It was reported that he ran away with a circus some time ago, but was brought back in a few days. The house authorized the speaker to issue cards to visitors and exclude the governor's son from the floor. Politicians say the incident will cost the governor many votes if he offers for office.?Savannah News. Saved Him From Torture. There is 110 more agonizing trouble than piles.
