THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1902.
The scarcity of money in this section
is amply illustrated by the small sales of
ho TTorir?nc nnnntv desnensaries for the

past month.

We expect something will be done in
the next few months towards securing a
better graded school building for Bamberg,
and we trust the efforts made will
be successful. Bv all means let us have
an adequate building. The present one
is a disgrace to the town.
.
Would-be new counties will please note
the fact that Bamberg wants to do away
with a term of court in order to cut down
expenses. Our representatives in the
general assemble should also remember
this when the question of fixing salaries
for county officials again comes before
them.
On account of the sadlv depleted state
of the county's finances, it is to be hoped
that the effort to do away with the jurors
at the coming term of court will be
successful. Several hundred dollars will
be saved in fees of bailiffs, witnesses and
jurors. In this event, only equity cases
will be tried.
County politics grow interesting these
days, and it is expected that there will be
"something doing" from now until the
primary. Let everybody keep cool as
possible; don't get mad with a man because
he will not vote for you or your
friend, and don't run down your opponents.
Let all the races be clean and
I square, so that when it is all over we can
v-aH-sti}l be a united people.
We congratulate the Carlisle Fitting
School on the improvements contemplated
and soon to be made. May the institution
contiuue to grow and prosper.
And for the success already attained, a
very large part of the credit is due Mr. H.
J. Brabham, who has been faithful and
energetic in all matters pertaining to the
welfare of the school. Wise in counsel
and practical in execution, he is always a
tower of strength.
We have understood, and the news
comes straight, that some of Col. Talbert's
: friends are attempting to revive factionalism
in his behalf. While we have no
idea that our people caii be again stirred
up to bitterness toward each other on account
of politics, still we regret that the
attempt has been made. Let men be
elected to office on their merits, not on
former factional alliances, and by this
method the best men will be chosen.

Federal Appointments.
Geo. R. Koester, of Columbia, who was
appointed collector of internal revenue
. ' some time ago, failed of confirmation in
the Senate and therefore had to give up
his office when congress adjourned last
week. The president has appointed Maj.
Micah Jenkins to be collector.
W. L. Harris has been re-appointed
postmaster at Charleston and J. F.
Richardson at Greenville. Richardson's
appointment failed to be confirmed on
account of the opposition of Senator
Tillman, but the president appointed him
"when congress adjourned. Senator Tillman
also opposed Harris and the president
withdrew the nomination until after
adjournment. Geo. D. Shorejas postmaster
at Supiter, and J. P. Murphy at Bamberg
were also not confirmed.
Absent-Minded
Professors.
In Ithaca, the seat of Cornell university,
the memory of a certain member of the
faculty is kept green from year to year
by this story of bis habit of intense pre?
occupation and what came of it:
One day he was walking over a beauti
- . ful campus path deeply absorbed in a
pamphlet on a mathematical subject
which had just been received. He bumped
into something, and, without looking up,
raised his hat and said, "I humbly beg
your pardon."
There was no response and he raised
his eyes to see the campus cow. 11
The next day another pamphlet?even
more preoccupation?a second collision.
"Get out of the way, you darned old
cow!" he shouted.
"Sir!" rang the echo in shocked soprano.
The professor gazed into the angry
eyes of the wife of a colleague and faculty
enemy.
"But that old professor is not the only
absent-minded man in the Cornell faculty,"
said the officer of -the college who
told the story at the Cornell Club the
other night. "There is another. He
wanted to demonstrate to one of his
classes how to measure the depth of one
of the many gorges about Ithaca by drop
ping a stone and timing its fall, so lie
borrowed a stop watch from one of the
students and selected a stone. Standing
on the edge of the bridge, he was ready
for the experiment. Then what did he
f do but drop the watch and hold on to the
stone. Nor did he notice his mistake
until the watch splashed into the water,
60 feet below. He tried to set the stop
cn the stone and pricked his thump on a
sharp corner."

That Baseball Controversy.
Editor Tilr Bxmbero Hkrw.tv?We
are sorry that the Hartzog correspondent
mentioned the unpleasantness that occurred
between Hartzog and Oak Grove ball
teams on June 2S. As tliev did refer to
"serious trouble" and "a rough beginning,"
we are more than sorry that they
did not state the full facts in the case, as
the whole trouble rested on a promise
made by Hartzog's captain, which promise
was broken.
Some days before the game Oak Grove's
asked Hartzog's captain to name his men,
which he did, naming nine or more men
of the immediate vicinity of Hartzog not
mentioning Mr. Sandifer at ail. At another
time he told an Oak Grove player
that Hartzog was not going to play Sandifer
on their team. Again he promised
another Oak Grove player that they would
not pitch Sandifer against Oak Grove,
using practically these words. "We have
a pitcher that we can do you fellows with
but will not put him on you." In this instance
and others Hartzog's captain
spoke as if the intimate relations of the
two neighborhoods forced both parties to
play strictly neighborhood boys. That
was all that Oak Grove had to play and all
that Hartzog should have offered to play.
Mr. Sandifer lives about nine miles from
Hartzog. We did not object so much to
his playing, but to his pitching.
With the understanding that it was
strictly neighborhood against neighborhood
the game was arranged for Saturday,
June 28. We met and found Mr.
Sandifer one of their players.. We called
the captain's attention to the matter. He
said that Mr. Sandifer had joined no
other team and Oak Grove could not rule
him off of the Hartzogteam. We let that
pass, still believing that the Hartzog
captain would stick to the special promise
he made, not to pitch Sandifer. Oak
Grove went to the bat with Dote Smith
in the box. We batted Smith very well,
giving Hartzog some running and searching
iu the weeds for the ball. We don't
know why, but suppose the Hartzog
captain thought it better to go back on a
promise than to lose their ball. Oak
Grove didn't care, have another old one.
At any rate, after the first inning, Hartzog
put Sandifer in the box, regardless of
understanding, intimate relations, promise,
objection or anything. That vexed
Oak Grove and we "repent in sackclothes
and ashes" that we did not call the
game when Sandifer went in the box.
We admit our mistake and deeply regret
it, but feel that we have wronged" no one
but ourselves.
As to "serious trouble" and "rough beginning,"
we do not understand them. We
do know that (after game) Hartzog's captain,
when he was toTd of the understanding,
promise he made, etc., was the first
man to tell Oak Grove if we wanted a
trow we could get it, and in a very short
time struck at an Oak Grove player with
a bat. Now, on Hartzog's ground, under-!
standing gone back on, promise broken, J
row offered, man struck at with bat, who
had "rough beginning"?
Oak Grove stands where it always
stood. We are young. This is our first
year, and we regard it our practice year,
but mean to be treated right. We "will
play any country team, Hartzog not excepted,
"that will arrange a game with us
and stick to the agreements. 0. G.
Campaign Meetings.
Manning, July 8.?About four hundred
people attended the Senatorial campaign '
meeting here to-day. Owing to the sfzej
of the crowd the meeting was adjourned j
to a grove near the court house. It was )
presided over by Sheriff J. Elbert JDavis,
county chairman, and was opened with
prayer by Rev. P. B. "Wells, pastor of the
Methodist church.
Evans touched up the records of several
gentlemen in the race, saying that
official records are public property. He
said that Henderson attacks the corporations
and has been a corporation lawyer
all his life.
Elliott, he said, voted for the gold
standard after the Democratic party had
declared for free silver. He repeated the
charges made in the Stokes letter against
Latimer.
. After Evans' speech Henderson said he
had never been a salaried attorney of any
corporation but he could be employed by
corporations as by other clients to take
cases. Latimer made his same explanations,
defences and denials.
the state party.
Newberry, July 8.?About 400 greeted
the candidates in a grove near the
town. The audience was in a very metallic
state. The officials made the usual
speeches.
Railroad Commissioner Wilborn and
Candidate Evans had hot words but no
trouble in reference to rates.
Stevenson and Gunter made vigorous
attacks on each other. The latter had the
crowd decidedly.
Hey ward made his usual speech, receiving
applause. The other candidates for
Governor repeated the same story, Talbert
receiving applause and Tillman being
well listened to.

Crowding Latimer.
Monck's Corner, July 7.?About one
hundred people endured the terrible heat
of to-day to hear the Senatorial candidates
speak. "The meeting was presided over
by County Chairman R. G. Causey.
There was a lively scrap between Latimer
and Johnstone. Latimer stated that after
he defeated Johnstone in 1892 Johnstone
had spread the report that he was a populist,
and so tied up matters in the Third
Congressional district that he could obtain
no postottice appointments, and that
this resulted iu Republicans being held
over in office.
Johnstone said he had not accused Latimer
of being a populist, but he said Latimer
had recommended men for office who
were known to have voted for the Weaver
third party candidate. One of these
men had telegraphed congratulations to
Weaver and said that he had carried his
box for Weaver.
Evans made a lively attack on the seed
policy, and pictured Patrick Henry's immrirfal
wnrrls a? rhano-ed to these: "Give
me seed or give me death."

Best Water He Ever Tasted.
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, poured
out a glass of ice water and drank it
with evident satisfaction. "There isn't
anything quite as good as water after all,"
quoth Blackburn, "which, by the way,"
he added, "reminds me of a story.
"Down in Kentucky," began Mr. Blackburn,
"there was a farmer, who, strange
to say, did not know the taste of whiskey.
One day, at Christmas time, he wa9 at a
neighbor's house and was invited to sample
a mixture of cream, lemon, sugar and
other ingredients, commonly known as
eggnog. He sipped, then clrauk, then
drained several mugs. When he started
to go home he felt"curious. It's an insidious
drink, you know, and when he
reached home he went to bed. The next
morning he awoke with an awful thirst.
Breaking the thin covering of ice on the
water bucket out on the porch he took one
long drink.
" 'Mandy, Mandy, come here and bring
the children,' he shouted. 'I never tasted
such water in my life.' "

Robert Womack, the discoverer of
Cripple Creek, was entertained there on
July 4 at a celebration given in his honor.
Womack was a cowboy and stumbled on
the rich deposits in January, 1891. The
year of its first exploitation the Cripple
Creek field produced $200,000 in gold.
Last year its output was $23,000,000.
Womack is no richer for his discovery.
He sold out his claim early, and spent the
money in true cowboy style, but he is
said to have no regret for the wealth that
might have been his. Poverty has been
the common lot of the gold pioneers.
Marshall and Sumter, who found the
precious metal in California; Fairweather,
the prospector of Alder Gulch; Russell
and Gregory, the pioneers of Colorado,
all died poor. Comstock, who unearthed
tlieComstock lode, the richest silver vein,
committed suicide because of his hard
luck.

could not speak. All doctors and remedies
failed till I used Dr. King's New Discovery

Not Yet A Polygamist.
It will be remembered that about a year
ago Bishop Henry C. Potter, of the
Episcopal diocese of New York, paid a
visit to the Philippine Islands in order to
ascertain for himself the condition of
affairs there. On his arrival at Manilla
he was confronted by a formidable list
of about thirty questions. The list,'prepared
by Uncle Sam, chiefly for the Chinese
and native Filipinos, was, nevertheless,
submitted impartially to all comers.
Gravely the Bishop, as became his respect
for forms, wrote down his name,
I age, occupation, place of birth. He did
I not even smile as he wrote "No" opposite
the question, "Have you any opium?"
But this last question was too much.
A look of mock pain crossed his features.
"Must I answer that?" he asked the
examiner.
The examiner nodded.
And in the space opposite, "Are you a
polygamist ?" the Bishop gravely wrote
"Not yet."

Why Lincoln Laughed.
Lincoln was annoyed greatly in the
spring of 'G3 by a trio of doctors representing
the homeopathic interests, says
the Philadelphia Times. The president
listened to them patiently day after day,
and finally dismissed them by saying he
was too busy with the war to give the
matter attention. The doctors then tried
Stanton, but he told them they must get
the decision from Lincoln himself.
When they returnedLincoln greeted them
with a loud, unctuous laugh and explained
the mirth, when asked by saying
he had been thinking of the story of a
boy who tried in Sunday school to read a
Biblical passage about the three men who
went down into the fiery furnace. Their
names?Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego?troubled
the boy greatly; he could
not pronounce them. The teacher helped
him twice; but again he encountered the
uauies in his reading and began to cry.
"Don't cry. Johnuie," said the teacher.
"I c-can't h-help it," sobbed Johnuie;
"for here comes those three d d fools
again !"
"And when I saw you coming,' resumed
the president, genially, "Ijust couldn't?"

Pat's Point of View.
A Bishop was traveling In a mining
country and encountered an old Irishman
turning a windlass which hauled up ore
out of a shaft. It was his work to do
this all day long. His hat was off, and
the sun poured down on his unprotected
head.
"Don't you know the sun will injure
your brain if you expose it in that
manner?" said the good man.
The Irishman wiped the sweat off his
forehead and looked at the clergyman.
"Do ye think I'd be doing this all day
if I had any brains?" lie said, and then
gave the handle another turn.

He was rolling along in the intermediate

Poisoning the System.
It lis through the bowels that the body
is cleansed of impurities. Constipation
keeps these poisons in the system, causing
headache, dulness and melancholia at
first, then unsightly eruptions and finally
serious illness unless a remedy is applied.
DeWitt's Little Early Risers prevent this
trouble by stimulating the liver and
promote easy, healthy action of the
bowels. These little pills do not act
violently but by strengthening the bowels
enables them to perform their own work.

JOHN GAM EVANS. ,
Spartanburg's Candidate for ;
United States Senate. ]
%
Backed by People of Ail Classes With- j
out Regard to Past Factional Af- j
filiations the Cx-Governor En- j
tors the Senatorial Race.
<
(From The Spartanburg Journal.) ]
Spartanburg's candidate for the ]
United States senate to succeed John i
L. McLaurin is ex-Governor John Gary '
Evans. In a residence of several years j
he has established himself in the es- <
teem and gwd will of the people of this i
county to such an extent that ht is regarded
with no less affection and inter- <
est that would be the case were ne a t
native born Spartan. His popularity ,
extends to all classes. Some of his t
closest political and personal friends ]
are to be found among those who were
formerly his strongest opponents.
To know Governor Evans has been
to appreciate his fine Qualities, his .
sterling honesty and his eminent qual. ,
iflcations as a statesman and citizen.
I
He carried this county by large major- (
ities for governor and senator, and he
will carry it this year by a much larger
majority than ever; indeed, it might
almost be said that he will receive the
unanimous democratic vote of the
county, so great is the local interest iu
his candidacy. His personal popularity
extending from Spartanburg County
as a basis, is radiated all over the
Piedmont section of the state and in
every profession, trade and calling
Governor Evans is looked upon as a
splendid type of a South Carolinian.
His Strength le With All Classes,
His friendship and aid have ever
been extended to the largo agricultural
interests of the state, and our
large and growing industrial population
has come to regard him as a
staunch and sincere friend. At the
same time Governor Evans hns nevet
been regarded as hostile to capltAl
and corporations in any sense, and
has many friends and supporters
among those who have large investments
in cotton and other manufacturlng
industries. While there can hardly
be ss.id to bo any logic in politics,
Governor Evanu is nevertheless the
logical candidate to succeed McL&urin,
by reason of the vigorous and wonderfully
prophetic fight he made on
the commercial statesman five years
ago. He then said McLaurin was a
republican, and. that gentleman has
hitneAlf clnrA proven the charge be
yond a doubt. Governor Evans was
not the only prophet In that line, however,
but ho vras the only man who
made a fight on McLaurln then who is
now a candidate before the people as
his successor. He evidently knows
a republican when he sees one, and
this is some assurance, if any were
needed, that his own democracy is
straight.
Has Been Faithful to Every Trust
Governor Evans' equipment and
qualifications for the senatorship are
undoubted, and his services to the people
of the state certainly give him a
claim upon their earnest consideration
of his candidacy. He has ever been
faithful to the trust reposed in him by
the democrat* of South Carolina, and
retains t* the utmost the respect and
confidence of those who know him.
The very fact that he has held the
support of those who were his political
associates in times when there were
sharp lines diawn between the factional
affiliations of our people and has
since the ef.'acement of those lines
drawn to himself the good will and
friendship of those who formerly opposed
him, shows him to be a man
who is steadfast in character and ami
nent in aDiimy. ne is strongest wuere
he is best known, and is backed by
the support of the thickly populated
Piedmont counties and he is sure to
be a formidable factor in the race.
Tillman Hands Off.
In view of numerous reports about
this man and that man being "Till'
man's candidate" for the senate, a
statement made by Senator Tillman lit
Washington recently may prove of interest
to those watching South Carolina
politics
"There if really no reason why I
should mix up in this race," said Senator
Tillman, "nor do I intend to take
the slightest part in it one way or the
ether. It is true that before Evans
entered the raoe there was but one
candidate la the field, Representative
Latimer, who had not at one time opposed
me. For this reason, thinking
to hurt Representative Latimer's
chances for election, the report has
been circulated that I was backing
Latimer. It is untrue to rjy that I
jim backing any one of the candidates.
Now that Mr. Evans has definitely announced
his candidacy for the senate,
there will be two of my former supporters
in the race. Another reason
why I am not called upon to take a
hand.
"But it should be remembered that
none of the candidates in the race are
running f>r the senate against me.
They are ifter the Junior senatorship,
and because in the past the other ean
dldates?Mr. Elliott, Mr. Hemphill, Mr.
Henderson and Mr. Johnstone?have
been political opponents of mine does
cot seem to me to furnish either ap
excuse or a reason lor my meddling in
tlie game."
Mother Always Keeps It Handy.
"My mother suffered a long time from
distressing pains and general ill health
due primarily to indigestion," saysL. W.
SpaldiDg, Verona, Mo. "Two years ago
I got her to try Kodol. She grew better
at once and now, at the age of seventysix,
eats anything she wants, remarking
that she fears no bad effects as she has
her bottle of Kodol handy." Dont waste
time doctoring symptoms. Go after the
cause. If your stomach is sound your
health will be good. Kodol rests the
stomach and strengthens the body by
digesting your food. It is nature's own
tonic. Bamberg Pharmacy; A. C. Reynolds,
Ehrhardt.
An exchange tells of a woman who
bought a new-fangled coffee-pot from a
peddler. In the evening she showed it
to her husband, a hardware dealer, who
told her he kept the same thing in his .
store for half the price she paid. "Well,"
she said, "why don't you advertise ? Nobody
ever knows what you have for sale."
Need More Help.
Often the over taxed organs of digestion
cry out for help by dyspepsia's pains,
nausea, dizziness, headaches, liver complaints,
bowel disorders. Such troubles
call for prompt use of Dr. King's New
Life Pills. They are gentle, thorough j
and guaranteed to cure. 25c. at Bamberg
