State Seuator, his opposition being based ] on the fact that this gentleman supported what was known as the gold Democratic ticket some years ago. As no other candidate for the Senate is announced except Mr. Vonkolnitz, the situation is rather interesting. We understand that the Hon. Dan J Henderson, of Aiken, claimed Bamberg j county as being solid for him before the < Senatorial campaign meeting here. How- J ever, he found out that all the candidates , had some friends here and that the vote j would be badly split up. Fact is, our l people are not taking mucb interest in j the race anyway. j Several newspapers in the State are \ ?i.. opposing Jim Tillman for governor on account of his moral character, and the < opinion has been expressed by some that his election would be a reflection upon J Pthe decency and honor of the people of the State. While all this may be true, still < we think the mental qualifications of the Hon. Jim just as good reason for oppos ing him. If we are to judge from nis campaign speeches, he is nothing but a j demagogue and tricky politician, and most certainly his public utterances have , ; shown him to be lacking in brains and ; honor. To the Newberry Herald and News and I Newberry Observer: Is it true, as charged by a Newberry correspondent in the Greenville News, that Mr. H. H. Evans, a member of the board of State dispensary f| directors, who lives in your town, is now possessed of considerable wealth? Will ??;' , each of you kindly publish his tax returns for 1902 and for the year 1898? This to include all property in the name of himself or any member of his immediate family. Mr. Evans possibly is innocent, but. the charge has been made in the public prints. Now, as his county newspapers, it is your duty and should be your pleasure to disprove the charges if they are false. To Messrs. Leon J. Williams and A. F. H. Dukes: As a supporter of the dispensary law, this newspaper calls upon you to investigate the matters in reference to your colleague on the board, Mr. H. ; H. Evans. For the good of the dispensary and yourselves as its head, this whole affair should be thoroughly probed. The 1 " strongest charge made against this member was that he is now possessed of con- i siderabie wealth and that he had nothing j - I when he went on the board a few years ] ago. If Mr. Evans is rich now, as he is a public officer, he should not hesitate to say where it came from. If the charge is not true it can be easily disproved, and we trust, for the good of all parties, that you will take the matter up. We are in favor of the dispensary and want to see | it continued, but we must confess to being sick of all these rumors of corruption, rebates, etc. Let there be a full and free investigation; let the light be turned on and every fact brought out. Innocent men need not fear an investigation, and it seems to us that this is the only course that will quiet these wholesale rumors. Court Etiquette. Judge Pennypacker, according to a Philadelphia exchange, was once asked by his brother Harry, during a session of Court, for the loan of five dollars. Harry walked to the desk and whispered the request in the Judge's ear. The latter, looking down over the top of his glasses, without the suggestion of a smile, said loud enough to be heard throughout the room: "Put your application in writiug and present it to the Court in a proper manner." Mr. Pennypacker, thinking the Judge's insistence upon regularity to be merely regard for the dignity of the Court, wrote out the request and handed it to the clerk , of the Court, who in turn, passed it to the bench. The Judge read it quietly aud seriously, and then interrupted the pending trial long enough to say: < "Application for a loan of five dollars < made to this Court is received?and refused." ( Barnwell News. ( gfe Barnwei.i., July 20.?At the court of ' sessions, which ended this week, the fol- ! lowing was the chief business transacted: Benjamin Milton,burglary and larceny; . guilty.

Of course the usual number of cases were continued. < In the common pleas before juries no { cases were forced, only cases being tried in which parties were willing so to do. ( The most important case involved con- j demnation proceedings by the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company to coudemn j land at Fairfax for a depot site. Some equity business was transacted, j but only unimportaut matters. t Judge Townsend, who presided, adjourned Court sine die to-day and returned home on the afternoon train. It is understood that the cantaloupe ^ farmers are not receiviug as good prices as they hoped for this season, and the watermelon growers have been disap- s pointed in the yield. s The Seaboard Air Line surveyors were encamped here at White Oak Spring, in c the suburbs of town, four or live days, en- 1 deavoring to locate a tinal survey through * the town. The difficulty has been to locate a line that would pass under the Southern i without too great an expense in exeava- s tion. Three lines were located by them a t year or two ago northeast of town, and now they are surveying so as to run altogether southwest, abandoning altogether r the survey on northeast. a Johnstone Prods Latimer. Hampton, July 10.?About 150 voters >f Ilauipton county attended the campaign meeting here in the court house tolay. It was a quiet, peaceful meeting, 11 striking contrast to the turbulent nowd and noisy demonstration last night n Beaufort. The candidates limited hemselves to twenty minutes each, in irder to finish speaking in time to leave >n the special train for Allendale, where ;hey will make connections for points aor'th and south. Evans stirred up the Virginia-Carolina company and again advanced the idea of ;urning the penitentiary into a| fertilizer 'actory as an effectual means ot lighting ;his corporation. Henderson said he voted against the Dill embodying this idea, and is opposed :o it still. If passed, it would have increased taxes this year one and one-half mills. Johnstone vigorously touched up Hemphill's fight against the force bill. He was defeated iu his fight, and he now asks to be rewarded for his defeat.

Arkansas Wants President Hartzog. Apropos of the recent settling of the trouble at Clemson college, which ended in the retention of President Henry Hartzog, and the exoneration of that officer by the board of trustees comes a flattering offer to President Hartzog to become presideut of the Arkansas State college. Nothing was known of the matter until the governor returned to the city yesterday and opened his mail and telegrams. In the bundle he found a dispatch from Gov. Davis, of Arkausas, which together with the reply sent the governor of Arkansas is incorporated in the following dispatch which the governor at once sent to President Hartzog at Clemson college: To H. S. Hartzog, Clemson College, S. C.: I have just received the following from Sov. Davis, of Little Rock, Ark.: "If you back President Hartzog, of Clemson College, your State, please have Aim wire me acceptance presidency of Arkansas State college. Please do so at ance." I have sent him the following reply, just having received his message: "Your telegram just received.

What makes the price of beef so high? The price of anything is high either because the demand outstrips the supply, or because of some combination of dealers to artificially raise the price. But whether a price is naturally or artificially high, the remedy is the same?greater production on an independent basis. Fortunately for consumers of beef, and fortunately for the southern farmer, there is no trust or combination that can prevent a most lavish production of beef, if only the way is pointed out. The breeding of cattle on a farm, at least in an unsystematic manner, is natural and almost spontaneous. But in the absence of some systematic way to follow up the subject, and select the proper animals, and care for them through the winter, and finally prepare them to make fat, tender beef, there is no proper beef production on the farm. The farmer in the cotton region is surrounded with all the elements to make beef raising successful. The climate is such that there is natural forage most of the year. It requires just a little forethought to provide for the few winter months. The material?cheap material?is always at hand, cotton seed meal and cotton seed hulls. The meal and hulls are offered just as you want them by the Southern Cotton Oil company, of the Carolinas and Georgia, and may be bought at any of the local mills or from headquarters at Columbia, S. C., Atlanta, Ga., Savannah, Ga., or Charlotte. N. C. Mixed in the proper proportion, this makes the most nutritious and acceptable feed that is now available. It is a feed, which by varying the proportions will answer equally well for a sustaining ration or for a fattening ration. It contains all the ingredients )[ nucriuun, ntiiiieiy, iai, uiuus^u auu carbohydrates. The cotton seed meal contains fat and nitrogen and the hull contains carbohydrates. A good sustaining ration Is made up if 24 pounds of hulls and 4 pounds of meal per day, and a good fattening ration is 20 pounds of hulls and 5 pounds of meal. These proportions In Poth cases must be varied to suit individual cases, according to the condition and taste of the animal. In fattening cattle, the ration should begin with more hulls and less meal and :he proportion of meal gradually Increased. A steer may be fattened ana put in good condition for the market in 400 pounds of cotton seed meal and ine ton of hulls. At average prices, the cost of this feed in the southern States would be about $9.00. There is great profit in fattening beef for the market, even at ordinary prices, but at present the industry should prove unusually attractive. The following estimate of the profit that can easily be made in this business is taken from a book which has been carefully prepared on this subject, Cotton and Cotton Oil," by D. A. Tompkins.

The attack made upon Editor Blackman, of the Greenville News, by Mr. H. II. Evans, a member of the board of directors of the State dispensary, will cause wide-spread comment and, if we mistake not the temper of our people, a good deal of quiet indignation. Mr. Evans' way of meeting public criticism is not the way to secure public confidence. Assuming that he had a real and just ground for complaint, he sought satisfaction, judging from the account of the affair 9aid to have been furnished by himself, in an unusually severe manner, and if the account given by the editor himself is essentially correct the attack was brutal and uncalled for, and if law and order is to be maintained, aud the people assured protection, the matter should be investigated by the courts. From its inception there has been on the part of certain dispensary officials from time to time a good deal of sensitiveness when under the fire of public criticism. That is not very strange, for few men are pleased at adverse criticism. Not ouly have many of those in charge of the State dispensary been criticised, but almost from the beginning it has been charged, frequently in the newspapers, on the hustings, in the legislative, halls that there has been a good deal of corruption in connection with this busi ness. * Recently there has been much quiet talk of corruption. Those who make the charges are sometimes challenged to prove them, and usually the matter ends there. A great deal is said, rumor upon rumor has been circulated, but, remarkable to say, it has been almost impossible to prove the charges. Many people believe what is so generally talked and they think they, have abundant reason for believing there is and has been corruption. There is no law against believing what becomes common rumor. This whole business ought to be investigated. Those most concerned ought to court and demand an investigation. Such a course is far better than knocking dowu and whipping, or beating, an editor because he has published a communication in which corruption is hinted at, or even openly charged,even if he does refuse to give the name of the writer. An attack with fist or whip, will not be taken as sufficient evidence of a person's innocence, but a fair, impartial, thorough investigation would go far to satisfy the public mind of the innocence or guilt of those concerned.?Baptist Courier.

Sorry to lose "Marse John." Polk Miller, of Richmond, Va., told some amusing stories of negro characters at*tlie last dinner of the New York Southern Society, says an exchange. One had to do with the ex-slaves retained on his father's plantation after the emancipation proclamation. The elder Miller, a liberal-minded man, insisted on giving each of the freed negroes a salary, but asked, in return, that each perform his or her assigned duty without fail, just as would be done were they to seek service elsewhere, as they were free to do so. To one old fellow, Jonas, was assigned the duty of watering Mr. Miller's saddlehorse three times daily at regular intervals. Several times he neglected the duty, and each time was told by Mr. Miller that they would have to separate if he were not more careful. When next he forgot, Mr. Miller said: "Jonas, you've had fair notice. Now you and I must part." "Yas, Marse John," replied Jonas. "I'm sorry too.

An Artiat's Curious Blunder. It is a curious fact that the same combination of chemicals which preserved In a perfect state for over 500 years the remains and shrouds of King Edward I. of England have also been used to preserve four of the great historical paintings perpetuating scenes in the foundation and establishment of this government These four paintings occupy perhaps the most conspicuous place for observation in the nation. They are the work of Colonel John Trumbull and hang on the eastern wall of the rotunda of the capitol. The paintings were put in place In 1824 under the supervision of the artist himself, but not without much hesitation and objections on his part because of the dampness of i:be walls and air in the rotunda at that time. The fears or the artist were proved to be well founded, for four years later the changes on the surface of the paintings became so apparent that congress passed a resolution authorizing their removal from the walls of the rotunda by Colonel Trumbull for Inspection and remedy if possible. It was at this point that Colonel Trumbull's knowledge of the preservative chemical compound was drawn on. In a letter to coygress, dated Dec. 9, 1828, Colonel Trumbull explains in detail his treatment of the paintings at that time, and an inspection now of these four pictures shows that they are in a perfect state of preservation both as to brightness of color and condition of canvas. In the letter referred to Colonel Trumbull says: "All of the paintings were taken down, removed from their frames, taken off from the panels over which they were strained, removed to a dry, warm room and there separately and carefully examined. The material which forms the basis of the paintings is a linen cloth whose strength and texture are very similar to those in the topgallant sails of a ship of war. The substances employed in forming a proper surface for the artist together with the colors, oils, etc., form a suffi-' cient protection for the face of the canvas, but the back remains bare and ex! posed to the deleterious effects of damp air. The effect of this is first seen In the form of mildew. It was this which I 1 dreaded, and the examination showed that mildew was already commenced and to an extent which rendered it ! manifest that the continuance of the same exposure for a few years longer would have accomplished the complete decomposition or rotting of the canvas and the consequent destruction of the paintings." Tmimhnll then ovnlnfnpfl llf>W WIV/IJVI J. I UUil.ZU'1 I.MVM ?? .. he first thoroughly dried the canvases and prepared them for the preservative. On this point he continues: "1 tad learned that a few years ago some cf the eminent chemists of France bad examined with great care some of the ancient mummies of Egypt with a view to ascertaining the nature of the substance employed by the embalmers j which the lapse of so many ages had proved to possess the power of protecting from decay a substance otherwise so perishable as the human body. This examination had proved that, after the application of liquid asphaltum to the cavities ?f the head and body, the whole had been wrapped carefully in many envelopes or bandages of linen prepared with wax. The committee of chemists decided further, after a careful examination and analysis of the hieroglyphic paintings with which the casings, etc., are covered, that the colors employed and still retaining their vivid brightness had also been prepared and applied with the same substance. "1 also know that toward the close of the last century the Antiquarian Society of England had been permitted to open and examine the stone coffin deposited in one of the vaults of Westminster abbey and said to cbntain the body of King Edward I., who died in July, 1307. On removing the stone lid of the coffin its contents were found to be closely enveloped in a strong linen cloth, waxed. Within this envelope were found splendid robes of silk enriched with various ornaments covering the body,, which was found to be entire and to have been wrapped carefully In all its parts, even to each separate finger, In bandages of fine linen which had been dipped in melted wax. and not only was the body not decomposed, but the various parts of the dress, such as a scarlet satin mantle and a scarlet piece of sarsenet which was placed over the face, were in perfect preservation, even in their colors," Colonel Trumbull then states that, with this knowledge, he melted common beeswax and mixed with an equal quantity of oil of turpentine, which mixture was applied hot with brushes to the backs of t-ne paintings and afterward rubbed in with hot Irons until the cloth was perfectly saturated. The niches In the walls were backed with cement and the paintings so placed in them that air could circulate behind the cauvases. Spring doors were also ordered placed in the entrances to the rotuuda by Colonel Trumbull. Since that treatment these paintings have had nothing done to them, and from present appearances they need nothing.
