Along the line of the fitness of a name might be mentioned the "Roosevelt Club." a social organization of negroes in Macou, Ga. Who will dare say hereafter that there's nothing in a name? eT' *. ?- * We are giving the legislature considerable advice these days. It doesn't cost anything, and the members are entirely welcome. They will find that some of it is good, too, when the}' go before the people for re-election two years hence. * * * Believing as we do that the creation of two more judicial circuits is a useless expense, we trust that the bill now before the legislature will not pass. We do not think the present judges are over worked, and to increase expenses at this time, when the finances of the State are in such a depleted condition, is not warranted by circumstances. * * * The ways and means committee of the house of representatives acted wisely in making an unfavorable report on the bill to appropriate $30,000 for a State exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition. South Carolina has no money to spend on Expositions just now. It is likely that taxes will have to be increased to meet the current expenses of the State government. v A serious mistake will be made by the general assembfy if the bill increasing scholarships in Winthrop College from $44 to $100 a year finally becomes law. As a general thing the parties getting these scholarships are able to pay their Sstr way, and putting the provision that they Pmust be unable to attend college will amount to naught. One good feature of the bill is that preventing more than one scholarship going to one family. This should stand, and the scholarships pat back to the original amount, $44. ; * * * * We trust if the opportunity again presents itself that our representatives in the general assembly will vote for the bill giving magistrates jurisdiction in cases of larceny from the field, for we believe the farmers of this section want the law changed. As it now stands, these cases must be tried in the Circuit Court and it is often inconvenient to drive many miles to attend court, as well as getting together the witnesses. Then, too, it is often the case that a farmer has to stay in town several days waiting on -;-r ^^Tfco-sa?eto be called. If magistrates are given the "power to try these cases the business of Circuit Courts will be lessened and much money saved. . * Misleading Statements. A writer in last week's Dorchester Eagle has the following to say in. reference to a recent homicide in Bamberg: "Mr. Editor, did you know that our ' , governor had offered a big round hundred dollars reward for the apprehension of Tom Pearlstine? It is certainly a great inducement to effect his capture. It is a lamentable fact that Bamberg has added more to the list of murderers than any little town in the State, and not one of the murderers have been convicted. If Creech had gone to Pearlstine's home and A shot him down the probability is that ^ Creech would have been lynched or put in jail san ceremonie. Because Pearlstine is rich and Creech is poor no one seems to care anything about it, and if Pearlstine is ever tried in the courts he will be acquitted, because human life is cheap and of little value, when compared with dollars and cents. The trend of events in the progressive march of the twentieth century fully demonstrates the fact that poverty is the worst of crimes. The rich fiaan of to-day is crushing the poor man to death because he is poor." We would not notice the above, for we do not desire a controversy, but there are some misstatements in the article, which, in justice to the good name of this county and its people, should be corrected. The statement that "Bamberg has added more to the list of murderers than any little town in the State, and not one of the murderers have been convicted," is a serious error, and a statement so farreaching in effect that the correspondent should have, in justice to our people, informed himself about before publishing it. It is lamentably true that murders have been committed in Bamberg county, as well as in other parts of the State, but the proportion is not greater than in other sections, and our court records show that some have been convicted. Some have escaped justice, more's the pity, but that not one has been convicted is decidedly wrong. Neither would Creech have been lynched if the case had been reversed, as the correspondent would insinuate. Pearlstine is not a rich man, either, nor ? -i > IS D1S iamiiy nere very wen uu uuam iau>. This newspaper does not condone crime, and Bamberg's record is black enough without being added to. But it is no worse than that of other parts of South Carolina. We trust that the Eagle's correspondent will hereafter take the trouble to inform himself as to the facts when writing about Bamberg. DeWitl's Witch Hazel Salve.

Ehrhardt Knights of Pythias held a public installation and banquet on last Wednesday evening. A large concourse of friends and relatives of the Ehrhardt Knights assembled in the spacious hall of tlf T n PnnplnnJ Our lndfe felt hiirlilv honored to have with them as installing officer Col. J.

At his conclusion the assemblage moved in a body to the large empty store of Mr. G. L. Kinard, where the good lady friends were kept busy for a while opening baskets and spreading supper on the long counters on either j side. When all was ready the Rev. S. P. Chisolm called upon the ruler of the universe to invoke his divine blessings j upon the events of the evening. A pleasant half hour was then spent in partaking of the bounties so tastefully spread. After supper Mr. A. C. Reynolds called upon Col. Knight to give a toast on "woman," and in his response he invoked much laughter, after which the Knights returned to the hall for the conferring of degrees. Mr. H. M." Yarn received the degree of Page, and the degree of Esquire was conferred on Messrs. G. B. Kearse, J. F. and E. P. Chassereau.

The bill changing the circuits makes the first circuit consist of the counties of Orangeburg, Bamberg, Colleton,and Dorchester An unfavorable report has been made on the bill to appropriate $30,000 for a State exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition No doubt the bill will be killed.

No matter what the extent o: the lawn, it should be evenly moist am well drained. The general slope shoulc be away from the residence on all sides Seeding the lawn yields better result: than sodding. Kentucky blue-grass i: the most satisfactory known seed for tin majority of locations, but in the South Bermuda grass, St. Lucia and Texas blue grass are extensively employed. Apri is a good time in the North, to sow, be fore the usual light showers. The groum should be raked as nearly perfect as possi ble before sowing. Best results are ob tained by sowing thickly. Four bushel to the acre is the usual allowance, but ii small plots double the proportion may b used to advantage. After sowing worl seed into the soil with a rake. No clipp ing should be done till the grass is abovi three inches in height, and it should bi kept at about this height during the tirs Summer. Avoid clipping at all soon be fore frost is expected.?Front The Deliu eator for March. Woffonl College Notes. WoKKOKl> Coi.I.KUE, SrKTANBUIU;, Feb. 2.?l)r. DeMotte lias delivered liis famous lecture, "The Harp of the Senses," and gone from among us. On last Thursday evening at the Converse auditorium many people gathered to hear, for the .second time, M r. DeMotte on this same subject. The impressive manner of the speaker made each one desire to hear more of the things about which he talked. His lecture was finely illustrated. On the morning preceding the night of the lecture, the Wolford boys had the pleasure of hearing Dr. DeMotte speak for about a half hour in the college chapel. The tirst session has ended We have passed the tirst mile-stone of the collegiate year of 1902-1903. It is not without real pleasure that we look upou the happenings of the past term. It certainly marks the beginning of a new era in the history of Woflford College. Events in several phases of college life have happened, and all for the advancement of our institution. With the opening of college in September last began the administration of a.new president. With that the putting on of new things was begun. Let us note some of the improvements. Instead of the old chapel with its dim gas lights, with its old hard benches, with its very poor heating apparatus, we have one of the fiuest aucf most up-to-date auditoriums in the State, with electric lights, handsome new pews, and a steam heating apparatus. The two society halls are being improved in many ways. New chandeliers and opera chairs, together with new ceiling and carpet, will make these two halls well worth noticing when one visits the college. The library, with nearly twelve thousand volumes, is being added to quite often by gifts from friends and alumni. Perhaps the chief event which will render the past session ever memorable in the history of the college is the giving of the new science hall to the institution by Mr. John B. Cleveland. The line knoll, just in front of the college building, will be the site of the hall: quite a suitable place as it faces the street which runs in front of the gymnasium, thus making quite an attractive appearance as one approaches the campus. Another phase of college life which is far from lagging behind is the Athletic Association. With one thousand dollars in hand, given by enthusiastic men of the town, the whole athletic held is being made new. So not only will Wofford , have one of the fastest teams in the State i but also one of the very best fields in this section of the country. Our fast team on our fast diamond will go to show to any team coming here that the old gold and ? black is still a tough proposition, even ? tougher than she has ever been before. : Mr. W. W. Boyd was elected assistant ; manager of the base ball team and Mr. , W. L. Glaze captain of the tennis tourna; meut at a meeting of the athletic associ. ation on last Saturday. There will be several events of interest i here during the next few weeks. On - February 13th Mr. Ernest SetonThompson will lecture in the chapel; this will - be the first public affair to take place in . the college building since the improve, ments have been made. On the lGth the : annual oratorical contest will take place. ) The following }roung men will contest i for the medal: S. M. Dawkins, C.L. Smith, 1 L. I. Crum, E. K. Hardin, W. K. Green, * D. E. Carmack. The orator who wins in this contest will represent the college in , the State oratorical contest to be held - later in the year. No doubt all of the f contestants will put forth their very best i eflorts and we are all looking forward to 1 something good. The 23rd will witness , the anniversary exercises held by the two - societies. The two speakers will be Mr. c T. C. Moss, of the Calhoun society, aud i Mr. T. D. Thompson, of the Preston society. The followiug speakers have .been elected to serve on the Junior debate which takes placed u^g. commencement:, 1 Messrs. W-JJ^Burnett antT jTTVXane, ^ Calhcoifts; Messrs. If. K. Hardin and C. ^ J^-Sraith, Prestons. Revival services are being held .n the 5 Y. M. C. A. hall every evening. Revs. J. E. Grier, pastor of Central M. E. church, and M. L. Banks, pastor Duncan Metho1 dist church in this city, are conducting the services. I Vaccination is the fad these days. While there is no immediate danger, this > precaution is being taken as a safeguard ' against small pox. 1 Mr. J. S. Calhoun, '02, who is working in the insurance busiuess in this city, was on the campus several days ago. The base ball squad continues to prac1 tice in the gymnasium on account of the work being done on the ball field. The , field will be in such a condition in a few weeks that the team will be able to take " their practice there instead of in the ' gymnasium. B. 5 * i .

I A good story is told of one of the cam. paigns of Charles W. Thompson, a new s congressman from Alabama. He was s traveling on a train one day toward a e town where he was to speak that evening, , and met his Populist rival, who was also - on a stumping tour. They had such an 1 animated discussion that when Thomp son reached his destination he had to 1 make a hurried exit from the train. He - caught up what he thought was his i- traveling bag. He did not hnow of the s error he had made until in the midst of i his meeting that evening he received a e telegram from the Populist, which was i as follows: "Got wrong bag on train. - Contains plug tobacco, bottle whiskey, e six-shooter, and speeches of Wm. J. e Bryan. Is it yours?" The reply sent t was: "I, too, have wrong bag. Contains, - bale of hay, treatise on dynamite, and - copy of 'If Christ came to Congress.' 'Is it yours ?" A Weak Stomach causes a weak body and invites disease. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cures and strengthens the stomach, and wards olF and overcomes disease. J. B. Taylor, a prominent merchant of Chriesman, Tex., says: ,:I could not eat because of a weak stomach. I lost all strength and run down in weight. All that money could do was done, but all hopeof recovery vanished. Hearing of some wonderful cures effected bv use of Kodol, 1 concluded to try it. The first bottle benefitted me, and after taking four bottles I am fully restored to my usual strength, weightand health." Bamberg Pharmacy. Plain Speaking. The Gaffnev Ledger, edited by E. H. DeCamp, certainly'uses plain language in discussing the killing of N. G. Gonzales by J. K. Tillman. In his last issue he says: "The coroner's inquest over the body of the late N. G. Gonzales disclosed the fact that Mr. Gonzales was shot in the side as he was in the act of passing Tillman. If ever a man was guilty of murder, surely Jim Tillman is guilty. It's a lamentable state af affairs when such a crime can be committed by a criminal who has broken almost every law of his State and yet go unpunished. If Jim Tillman had been where he belonged for past misdeeds he would not have had the opportunity to take this life. The fact that he escaped punishment gave him more license to commit crime. Instead of presiding over the South Carolina senate he should have been presiding over a rock pile with a hammer. And yet with public sentiment against this cievilish deed, with the facts before them of his previous misdeeds, and a press, pulpit and people united in their demands that justice be meted out, the lawyers, men sworn to uphold the law, will probably manage to find a jury of "honest" men?God save the thought?that will turn this hydra-headed monster loose upon a suffering people. And they call this law and justice! It's bosh! Bosh!! Bosh!!! Escaped an Awful Fate. Mrs. H. Haggins of Melbourne, Fla., writes, "My doctor told me I had consumption and nothing could be done for me. I was given up to die. The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, induced me to try it. pesults were startling. I am now on the road to recovery and owe all to Dr. King's New Discover}'. It surely saved my life." This great cure is guaranteed for all throat and lung diseases by Bamberg Pharmacy; H. C.

When they recovered, the horse bad disappeared leaving the buggy shaftless and a heap of wreckage. Rylands began to roar. "What on earth are you laughing at?" dejectedly inquired the friend.

The tendency of medical science is to< ward preventive measures. The best thought of the wTorld is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold 01 from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy count eracts any tendency or rnese diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied npon with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing aud pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy.

It proves, too, that the great medicine main:aino more fully than ever l)efore its unrivaled place in the estimation of people of wealth ind social standing as well as with the masses. Mr. .brown says:? " I acknowledge with thankfulness and pleasure the fact that I have been cured of a very painful illness of eight years' standing by use of Faine's Celery Compound. I had, s during the years of my illness, tried almost all the advertised medicines without deriving any good results. I was also treated by several of the best doctors of this city, hoping to find that one of them, at least, would understand , my case. , " I was getting worse, and was told I was , incurable. I was indeed in a critical condition. I could not goftom the house alone, as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried hospital treatment, but no relief or good results I :ame to me. I could not sleep; anything that , I ate increased my agonies; I -was extremely weak, restless, tired, and despondent; was , obliged to walk about with my hands pressed firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my feet and hands were cold continually; had inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats, quick breathing, and would be racked with pain for hours at a time. "After the regular use of Paine's Celery Compound for a time, I am now in the best of nealth, have good appetite, and can use any Kind of food. Thank God I am my old self , ance more, all through the use of Paine's Celery Compound." FOB TWENTY YEARS DIAMOND DYES L have been the utaudard home dyes.
