That Bamberg will erect a $10,000 free ,

Seuator Tillman has said that Charleston
must not elect Geo. F. Vonkolnitz !
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. Sentenced to five years.
Isaac Wallace, violation of dispensary i
la" ?5""V I
Alexander Adams, murder; case continued.
Tracey G. Willis, murder; not guilt)', i
James M. Lewis and Laviuia Still,
adultery; guilty. i
The calendar was comparatively light 1
and the sessions ended in about three <
days, a fact unprecedented in Barnwell
in a number of years. 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

Hampton, July 10.?About 150 voters

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

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. He
again assailed Latimer's record, which,
he said, had been a record, of taxation.
'When he sends seed he seends you your
awn property to electioneer with. He
admits he voted to donate $3,000,000 to
Lhe Pennsylvania railroad. He claims
he delivered a speech iu the House against

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. I heartily
endorse President Hartzog and regard
him as a competent, high-toned, Christian
gentleman, and recommend him without
reservation as thoroughly competent and
proper man for the position as president
of your college.
Do as he requests if you care to.

Governor.
MEET THE HIGH PRICE OF MEAT.
C. ?
How Farmers Can Make Money Out of
Cattle. The Best Food Right at Home.
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.

Aii Investigation Needed.
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.

Struck by Lightning.

Depew in a street car asked him how to

The senator spoke louder. Then the
old lady began to tell him how much an

Mother Always Keeps It Handy.
"Mv mother suffered a lorn? time from

eats anything she wants, remarking
that she fears no bad effects as she has
her bottle of Kodol handy." Dont waste

Sorry to lose "Marse John."
Polk Miller, of Richmond, Va., told

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. I was bohn an' raised

PRESERVED RY WAX
FOUR HISTORIC PAINTINGS IN THE
NATIONAL CAPITOL.
They Were Treated Long After Completion
and When They Already
Showed Siarns of Dlanolntlon ? 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.
Another peculiarity in one of these
pictures is pointed out to persons being
shown the capitol under the care of a
guide, and that is in the scene of
Washington resigning his commission.
