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.

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.

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."

" and all the autobiography which is to follow,
were actually written by the wonderful
girl herself is only equaled by the rernarkable
literary merit of her production.
There is a delightfully personal article

by a hitherto unpublished picture
of Miss Roosevelt, and a pretty story
of the singing of Easter carols in a New
ffev- York belfry on Easter morning. Neltje

* No Reward for Dead Body.
Governor McSweeney has received two
letters regarding the reward offered in
the case of Bartow Warren. Mr. Cornelius
A. 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

A Little Home Experience.
"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!"

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.
"After using a few bottles of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure my wife received perfect
and permanent relief from a severe and
chronic case of stomache trouble," says
J. R. Holly, real estate, insurance and
loan agent,of Macomb, 111. "Before using
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she could not eat
au ordinary meal without intense suffering.
She is now entirely cured. Several
physicians and many remedies had failed
to give relief." You don't have to diet.

They Know Boone.
Knoxvii.i.k, Tkxn., March 13.?Col.
Albert E. 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.'
'All the way up, all the way down,
All the way through, all the way round,
From head to heels, from heels t o crown.
"Do we know the colonel 1 He got
from our local suckers $40,000 as a promoting
fund to promote 'the Black Diamond,'
and like John Brown's soul our
forty thousand 'still goes marching on;'
and as for the Black Diamond, it has alft
ready been constructed over a circle of
territory of which Knoxville is the center
and infinity the circumference and it
keeps on a-going. On this beautiful Sunday
morning away dowu here in the
Southland I take off my hat to you and
congratulate you on knowing the Col.
Albert E. Boone. Respectfully,
"S. G. Heiskell, Mayor."

who had recently been appointed, was
ordered to collect the wounded. Among
the disabled was a man who had been shot
through the leg. The young doctor proceeded
to use his knife. After cutting for
an half-hour he was interrupted by the
young soldier with :
" 'Say, how much longer are you going
to cut?*'
"'Until I get the bullet,' replied the
doctor.
'"Why, you fool, if that's what you
want, I've got it in my pocket.'
"Sure enough; the bullet had lodged in
the skin of the man's leg after passing
through, and he had kept, it as a sou

Danger of Colds and La Grippe.
The greatest danger from colds and la
grippe is their resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all
danger will be avoided. Among the tens

for these diseases, we have yet to learn of
a single case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it
is a certain preventive ot that dangerous

Tempted by Harvard Book Plates, a

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

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.

How They Differed.
During the last term of the late Zeb
Vance in the United States senate his
brother, Robert Vance, was elected to
represent the Asheville (N. C.) district
in the lower branch of congress. One
Sunday morning soon after Robert
made his appearance In Washington a
friend asked the senator if he and Robert
agreed on the subject of religion as
well as they did on politics.
"No," replied the senator; "Bob is a
Methodist and believes in falling from
grace, but never falls, while I am a
Presbylerian and don't believe in falling
from grace, but am all the time
falling!"?New York Times.
Good Reason For Selling.
"I notice," said the man who had

"Certainly," answered the other man.
"The reason why I want to sell out
this business is that I'm not making
any money at it."?Chicago Tribune.

up the cold and slopped ihc coughing
like magic, and I have never since been
troubled with grippe." Chamberlain's

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."

"It seemed that nothing short

daughter from an untimely
death," says City Marshall A.
H. Malcolm, of Cherokee,Kan.
"When two years old she was
taken with stomach and bowel
trouble and despite the efforts
of the best physicians we could
procure, she grew gradually
worse and was pronounced incurable.
A friend advised
M?es' Nervine
and after giving it a few days
she began to improve and finally
fully recovered. She is now
past five years of age and the
very picture of health."
