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

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.

The Bobbins Tragedy.
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.

i). H. Be lire Seriously Burned.
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.

The Branchville Train Robbers.
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.

New York's Most Famous Wedding.
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 ;

A Mt. Airy woman, who is the proud

to inculcate in them the spirit of modesty.
In following out this idea she is very careful
to keep the sleeping and dressing
apartments of the little boys and the little
girls entirely separate, and there must be
no trespassing. 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.

Kick Theiu Both Onl.
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.

sentiment, and the southern Democracy,

Cough Keracdy. We have used it with
such good results in our family so long
that it has become a household necessity.
By its prompt use we haven't any doubt
but that it has time and again prevented
croup. The testimony is given upon our
I own experience, and we suggest that our
readers, especially those who have small
childrtu, always keep it in their homes as
a safeguard against croup.?Camden (S.

A curious accident was caused recently
by a cat climbing a pole of the Buffalo
and Lockport Electric Railway. While
attempting to walk along the feed wires
her tail touched one of the 22,000-volt
Niagara transmission lines. The cat was
instantly killed, but a short circuit was
caused by the body falling across the
wires; this resulted in shutting off the
power at Niagara for two hours. Several
electric railways and lighting systems in
western New York were without power.
The next day another cat in Utica, N. Y.,
frowling around the power house in
itica. also caused a short circuit which
resulted in blow ing out several fuses, and
cars stalled for some time. The cat, however,
was not injured and still lives.

Cure which I did with most happy results.

can go to eating mince pie, cheese, candy
and nuts after such a time, their digestion
must be pretty good. I endorse Kodol
Dyspepsia Curo heartily." You don't have
to diet. Eat all the good food you want
but don't overload ttie stomach. Kodol

An Irishman, who was charged with
stealing a watch from a fellow-citizen,
stoutly denied the impeachment in court,
and brought a counter accusation against
his accuser for assault and battery committed
with a fryingpan. "Why did you
allow the prosecutor, who is a smaller
man than yourself, to assault you without
resistance?" asked the judge; "had you
nothing in your hand to defeud yourself
with?" "Bedad, your honor," said Pat,
"I had his watch," but what was that

Appealed for Protection.
Columbia, S. C., Feb. 21.?There was
Cometh' and tragedy in the house of representatives
today. A. C. 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. The constant itching and burning
make life intolerable. No position is comfortable.
The torture is unceasing. DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve cures piles at
once.For skin diseases,cuts,burns,braises,
all kinds of wounds it is unequalled. J.
S. Gerall, St. Paul, Ark., says: "From i860
I suffered with the protruding, bleediug
piles and could find nothing to help me
until I used DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve.
A few boxes completely cured me." Beware
of counterfeits. Bamberg Pharmacy
and A. C. Reynolds, Ehrhardt.
"What made that man at the last table
leave?" asked the proprietor of the restaurant.
"It was this way, sir" answered the
waiter. "He came in and asked for sausage
and I told him we were out, but if he
would wait a little while we would have
some."
"Well?"
"Then I went out in the kitchen and
accidentally stepped on the dog's tail, sir,
and the dog began to howl like he was being
killed, sir, and "
"I see," interrupted the proprietor.?
