This newspaper is very much surprised at the editorial comments of the Newberry Herald and News upon the Jim Tillman legislative incident. The deliberate falsifying of the record of the highest lawmaking body in the State is an act that calls for a strong expression of opinion. - The women are coming to the front in public life in South Carolina. Recently Miss Withers was appointed assistants State Superintendent of Education, and now Miss McClintock has been elected president of the Presbyterian. College for women in Columbia. The faculty is also r . composed of women. mi-- _ Director General Averill of the Charleston Exposition said in a speech at Greenville that none of the shows on the Midway at the Exposition were immoral. |gp;- This must be one of Mr. Averill's jokes, iy Some of the shows may not appear im moral to some people, but we hardly ! imagine women and ministers would enjoy them very much. Newspapers in different portions of the State continue to say the nicest kind of things of Hon. D. C. Heyward,of Walter"boro, who is a candidate for governor. He is winning good opinions and friends wherever he goes, and we expect to see liim make a tine race in the primary this summer. From present indications he will be a hard man to beat. "Jim" Tillman is in trouble again. Letters have been published showing that he inserted a false statement in the Senate Journal during the recent session, in attempting to justify himself against the committee 011 rules: South Carolina is certainly in a bad way when her high officials stoop to such conduct as- this. If there is any way to make him resign, he should be forced to do so. A certain candidate for a certain State office has sent us at least two circular letters announcing his candidacy. In them he stated that he would be glad to receive any advice from us at any time. If we J were-gomg-to advise him, we would tell him to stay at home, and save his money. TiTivii^v tKa/lov nf cmfkll t|men in South Carolina politics, his size lias not been reached yet. Fortunately the small pox scare is over, and very little excitement was caused by it anyway. But we think this a good time to saj' a few words on the subject, and to impress upon our people the necessity of vaccination and re-vaccination. In contending with a disease of this character we cannot be too careful, for the results of carelessness on the part of one citizen may bring about dreadful results. The work of vaccination should be done - thoroughly until every inhabitant of the town has been successfully inoculated." Especially should this be done in the schools, and no pupil should be allowed to attend any school of the town until it has been successfully vaccinated. This is enforced in many towns in the State,ISnd-if it is not enforcedin Bamberg, it should be. Let us look well to these things, for "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

Ott writes to claim the reward and, through his attorney, writes to know if additional proof is wanted as to the identity of the remains. Governor McSweeney takes the position that to earn a reward something has to be done and that the earning of a reward is not carried out in the accidental finding of a dead body. Governor McSweeney has always held that whenever a reward is paid it must be for actual services, and that the purpose of a reward is to stimulate action and alertness, and that in finding a dead body such a spirit is not carried out, and that he would not be justified in paying the reward no matter whether it was Warren's body that was found or not.?Columbia correspondence News and Courier. <?

"Whar's yer Mar?" I was writing at my window and my little boy was playing just outside on the veranda when the above question was asked him. I looked up and saw a woman surrounded by four children, ages (I suppose) ranging from twelve to four. I left my writing table and went to the door. "Be you the proprietor's wife, what disqualifies this 'er Millen school?" she asked with a decided nasal accent. I choked back a laugh and replied as courteously as my prisoned fecliugs would permit: "Yes, I am the wife of the principal; do you wish to see him?" "Show do." Again I had to pause to stifle my keen sense of humor. "He will be at home in one hour from now ; suppose you go to the Academy and see him or can I deliver " "You, George Washington, quit that," she interrunted. Just here the name sake of our patriotic father, jerked away aiul glided like a frightened rabbit into the next street. "Run, Jeemsie, he is skeer't of the town; run, Jeemsie, run git him!" Six-year-old "Jeemsie" took after him yelling: "Mar seys come back, you G-eo-r-g-e" (the final e ran up the gamut of notes until it reached the pin feather keys.) "Hannah Jane, run round that t'other way, head him h'off." Hannah flew to her heels; the mother and the fourth child joined in the chase. I closed the door and resumed niv writing. Some minutes later they returned. "George Washington run clean down to that 'er clump of big stores standing hand runnin' and I 'most loss' breath a-ketching of him. He told me he was skeer't of towns and I believe he h'is." A rosy cheeked apple was given each of thechilj dren, and the woman continued: "Me ' and ray old man has worked hard to git : our chil'en edicated; we wants them ro; mancing and edified and we hear'n that j yer school heer in Millen was the place to } git 'em in." I nodded assent?-her tongue rattled like a bell clapper. "Hannah is a purty peert gal, she kin lam books quick es eny body, but that ther' boy thar," pointing the index finger at "Jeemsie", "his head is es hard es a brick." I re marked that Doys developed more siowiy than girls. "Do you rickon he kin git into 'rithmetic this yeer?" "Oh yes," I said. "Do say, I'm pow'erful glad, for I am that romancing to have 'em disqualified as a'rithmeticker and grammarist!" She drew breath and went on: "I was not edicated, but I tuck ter books and I kin read, write and spell a load of words." Where would she have stopped had not my husband come in? Echo answers, "where!" M. O. Lanier. Does Not Hate The Negro. "I do not hate the colored man." These words express the latest attitude of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman on the race problem. They form the text of a letter received from the South Carolina statesman in an answer to an invitation extended to him by the Rev. R. C. Ransom and the Forum Club at the Colored Social Settlement to come to Chicago and address its colored citizens on the relations of the races in the South. The invitation to the Senator is the outcome of a discussion at the recent Douglass day banquet between Mr. Ransom and T. Thomas Fortune, the editor of the New York Age, in the course of which Dr. Ransom declared that he admired the courage of Senator Tillman evpn though he was compelled to depise his notions of the rights of men. Acting upon the general discussion which followed the banquet incident a letter of invitation was sent to the Senator and following is the reply: "The Rev. R. C. Ransom?Dear Sir: I have your letter of March 1. 1 have no time to go so far to make a lecture and, therefore, cannot accept your invitation. Another thing, my views of the race problem from a Southern standpoint would be altogether different from yours and any audience that you could get together, so different that it would give offence and provoke very angry feelings. This would be unpleasant and I would therefore be unwilling to make an engagement. "I do not hate the negroes, South or North, and would be glad to see them rise in the scale of civilization, but there is an irrepressible conflict between the races in the South and the white is compelled to be the dominant race or see his race disappear or to be swallowed up by mongrelization. Your sincerelv, R. R. Tillman." The letter was made the subject of an animated discussion at the last meeting of the Forum Club. Bishop Evans Tyree, of the Mississippi and Arkansas districts of the African Methodist Church, said: "Whatever else we may think about the matter Senator Tillman is one of the potent forces in the South. I cannot agree with his estimate of my race. And yet I believe him to be sincere in his belief that the conflict is an irrepressible one. l wish l could bringhim tobelieve,however,thatour thought and love for this grand Republic is as deep-rooted as his and thatour faith in God and His works abides in the fervor of strong hearts. We have labored and suffered too much in the building of this great Western social structure to sacrifice it on the altar of nationalism. The universal brotherhood of men is what we dream of. I am glad that the Senator does not hate the colored man."?Chicago News, March 18. ? Practically Starving.

Boone, of Black Diamond fame, has been endeavoring to get people of Madison, Ind., interested in a scheme to construct an electric railroad. The people of Madison did not take his plans and turned down his proposition. Mayor McGuire, of Madison, wrote to the mayor of Knoxville asking what kind of a man Mr. Boone was, and this is the reply: "Dear Sir: Yes sir-ee, we know the versatile and tireless colonel. "VVe know him like a book. We have been privileged to gaze upon him in all the splendor of a railroad builder, whose lines extend from Kuoxville, Tennesseejto Madison, Indiana, and from there to the isles of the sea and ends of the earth, and thence in an air line, as the bird flies straight into the pearly gates of the New Jerusalem. Not to know the colonel is to have lived :in old and empty life, to be a tree without fruit, a bush without the rose, 'a stunned and stolid thing, a brother to an ox.'

It was all the morman's fault. With her arms full of bundles, she was compelled to hold the 10-cent piece between her teeth. The motorman turned on the current, the car gave a jerk and she gave a start. "Fare, please," said the conductor, and she turned pale.

Tempted by Harvard Book Plates, a Doctor Turned Tlilef. It would seem from the experience of the Harvard college library that book plate collecting may sometimes develop into a dangerous and expensive mania. A few years ago the Harvard library found that the engraved labels which It pastes on the inside of the covers of its books as marks of its ownership were disappearing from some of the less used volumes. The older book plates, it appears, are highly prized by collectors, and some of them are particularly valuable for their artistic merit as well as for interesting associations with early book collecting in this country. These were natulh? 4-1./-V CPVA/tio 1 tVWAT? Af f 11 ? of* L11C OpC\,l?i pi vj vi vit iiitti. Detectives took the matter in hand, and the offender was discovered with full evidence of his guilt upon him. He confessed to stealing the library's property and to having it in his possession. By the time the matter reached the courts the greater part of the book plates had been restored, the thief having settled satisfactorily with the persons to whom he had sold or given them, and, as the prisoner had repaid the expense to which the library had been put. the college consented to leave the matter of sentence with the court, which imposed a fine of $150 on one count and put the other count on file, to be brought up again later if it should be desirable, meanwhile placing the offender under $1,000 bonds for his future appearance if he should be wanted. A striking point in the case is that the guilty man is in no way a common criminal. His education (he has a degree of doctor) and his taste seem only to have made his thefts more intelligent and discriminating, however. He knew the value of his peculiar booty, and he knew how to dispose of it, his vprv nersonalitv beinc a protection to him In that part of his misdemeanor. Apparently the fad developed to a mania and that to kleptomania In his mind. A number of the stolen plates have not yet been traced at all, and collectors have been warned against accepting Harvard plates of the older engraved varieties unless there is unmistakable evidence that they came honestly into the possession of the person who offers them.

COLLINS. NOTICE. To Township Commissioners and Road Overseers: You are hereby notified to warn out the men liable to road duty in your several road districts at once, and put the roads in good shape. For your information, I give you below the law as construed by the Assistant Attorney General. E. C. BRUCE. March 18tli, 1002. County Supervisor. Yesterday Assistant Attorney General Gunter rendered an opinion for the county treasurer of Lexington construing the new road law which may be of interest to a number of counties. The opinion shows that in the matter of the payment of the commutation tax at least there is an instance of wherein the early bird did not get the worm. Those who paid the tax before Feb. 1, as required by the old act, had to pay $2, whereas those who neglected to pay up got otT with the payment of half the amount. Mr. (lunter, quoting the law as it appears in the "Townsend code," shows that in certain counties the commutation tax was $2; in others $1. The tax must have been paid before Feb. 1 to avoid penalty. "But," he continues, "by an act approved Feb. 2G, 1902, in section 7, it is provided: 'In lieu of performing or causing to be performed the labor of ten hours per day, as required for the several counties, a commutation tax of $1 may be paid by the person so liable on or by the 21st day of March, 1902, and on or by the first day of March of each year thereafter.' This act does not takeetfect until the 25th day after its approval. It will therefore become effective on March 18, 1902. It thus appears that the opportunity to pay a commutation tax closed on Feb 1, but was reopened by the last general assembly to begin on March the 18th and close March 31, 1902, and for this period the tax is $1 for all the counties." flf Rain and sweat \ \ \ \ I gS have no effect on Wfm/rM H B harness treated g f/l|Fll>vH with Eureka Har- # VllMl/t g 9 ness Oil.
