There are others, however. If a few white men are hung, the killings will cease. . * * * Tt ic tn hp honpd that the llOUSe will not agree to the Senate's action in appropriating $25,000 for a State exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition. This will simply be money thrown away. * * * We are glad to see that Bamberg's representatives voted against the appropriation of $4,000 for improving the * State house. It seems that the large sum spent on the building in the last two years would be enough for the present at least. *** ten* -f An investigation of the affairs of the State dispensary should be welcomed by all. It can certainly do no harm, and no . one should oppose a full and complete investigation. There should be all the publicity possible about the affairs of State institutions of every kind. * * Our people will no doubt be dissatisfied - ' at the increase in county taxes, but they should remember that the county is in debt, and this extra levy is made for the purpose of paying past indebtedness. So far as we are concerned, we would prefer paying off this debt in one year and putt? ing the county on a cash basis. *** Ministers in different parts of the State are preaching strong sermons on the cheapness of human life and lawlessness generally. Let the ministers of Bamberg : v > county take up the matter. Strong, brave utterances from the pulpit on the appalling condition of affairs will do much good. But press and pulpit should have commenced a crusade against crime long ago. Another Assassination Walterboro, Feb. 11.?This morning about 11 o'clock, near Cottageville, Allen Adams laid wait for Henry Jaques and, with a shot gun, sent a load of buck shot through his neck, instantly killing him. Jaques was on his horse and never knew what struck him. Adams and Jaques had a difficulty Christmas. Mr. oaques was a quiet, peaceable man, while the reputation of Adams in his community for peace and order is not good. The killing is greatly deplored. Jaques ... ergntubiIdren, several of them small. The sympathy of the people is with Jaque?. Adams came up to-night and surrendered to Sheriff Owens. Negro Whipped to Death. Walterboro, Feb. 12.---Several nights ago a crowd of about 10 or 12 white men, near Young's Island, severely whipped a young negro man, Jake Haines, suspected of stealing some meat from one of the neighbors. Yesterday, as a result of the wounds, the man died. The crowd failed to find any meat in the negro's house but instead three sacks of guano were discovered under his bed. He was taken out and flogged and refused to confess the stealing, but implicated another negro. The latter negro, however, proved himself innocent to the satisfaction of the men and Haines was taken off down in the woods and from the beating Haines is now dead. The coroner's inquest will be held today. As yet no arrests have been made. Blarney. In one of the large manufacturing establishments in this city an Irishman -was employed to watch one of the en. trances. . One day the superintendent saw the Irishman was neglecting his duty and told him to go to the office and get his money, as his services were no longer needed. The superintendent went away on business that day and was gone about a week or ten days. On his return he happened to be passing this same place and was surprised to find the Irishman he had discharged still acting as watchman. He said: "I thought I discharged you a couple of weeks ago." "Sure," says the Irishman. "Well, why didn't you get out when you were told ? " "Oh, I know when I got a good boss, if you don't know when you have got a good man." Needless to say, he is still there. The Cottageyille Murder. Waltf.rboro, Feb. 12.?Magistrate J. A. Ackerman, acting coroner, to-day held the inquest over the dead body of Henry Jaques who was killed j'esteraay near Cottageville by Allen Adams. The verdict of the jury was that Henry Jaques met his death by a gunshot wound inflicted by the hands of Allen Adams and that Henry Hoff is an accessory to the fact. \ Stephen Ackerman, who was the only eye witness to the killing except the defendant Adams and his brother, testified today as follows: I was present at the killing of Henry Jaques yesterday. Willie and Allen Adams came to my gate about 10 o'clock. We talked about five or ten minutes. Allen Adams then started home. He went towards the public road. When Allen got to the road Jaques was coming down the public road towards his home. Adams called to Jaques in a loud tone to stop. Adams ordered him to stop again. Then Jaques turned himself in his saddle. Allen Adams at that moment shot him 1" with a gun. When deponent got there he was dead. They were both on horses. ] The two Adams' then left on their horses at a rapid rate. Mrs. Ruth Adams, a daughter of the dead man and wife of Allen Adams' brother, Teal Adams, testified as follows: I was at my house yesterday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock and Allen Adams was there. Heury Hoff came up and told Allen if he did not hurry up that Henry Jaques would be gone before he got there, and Allen Adams said I intend to kill him. If I don't kill him with my gun I will take him down and tie him hog fashion and beat him until I think he is dead. Then Allen turned round to Henry Hoff and said come on and let's go, Willie will be on directly. They then left, going in the direction"of the place where father was killed. The next thing I heard he was shot. My father and the Adamses have been at "outs for some time. Allen Adams married Henry Hoff's sister. Hoff was arrested this afternoon and lodged in jail to-night. Messrs. Howell & Gruber aud J. M. Walker will represent the defendant and Messrs. Puerifoy Bros, will assist in the prosecution. He Answered Advertisements. A man who answered advertisements in cheap "story papers" has had some interesting experiences, says an exchange. He learned that by sending $1 to a Yankee he con Id get a cure for drunkenness. Sure enough he did. It was to "take the pledge and keep it." Later on he sent 50 2-cent stamps to find out how to raise turnips successfully. He found out?"Just take hold of the tops and pull." Being young, he wished to marry, and sent 341-cent stamps to a Chicago firm for information as to how to make an impression. "When the answer came it read, "Sit down on a pan of dough." It was a little rough, but he was a patient man, and thought he would yet succeed. Next advertisement he answered read, "How to double your money in six months." i He was told to convert his money into bills, fold them and he would see his money doubled. Next he sent for twelve useful household articles, and he got a package of needles. He was slow to learn, so he sent $1 to find ont "How to gel rich." "Work like the devil and never spend a cent." And that stopped him, j but his brother wrote to find out how to write a letter without pen or ink. He was told to use a lead pencil. He paid $1 to learn how to live without work, and was tnld on a nostal card to "Fish for suchers as we do." Rerenge is Sweet James, 4 years old, has beeu naughty to the point of evoking a whipping from his long-suffering mother, and all day long a desire for revenge rankled in his little bosom. At length bedtime came, and, kneeling before her, he implored a blessing for each member of the family individually, she alone being conspicuous by her absence. Then, rising from his devout posture, the little suppliant fixed a keenly triumphant look upon her face, saying, as he turned to climb into bed: "I s'pose you noticed you wasn't in it."

Harry P. Dewey, of Brooklyn, tells the story of a friend of his who once attended a meeting where a Presbyterian minister preached only ten minutes?a most unusual thing ^for a Presbyterian minister to do. "Brethren," said the minister, when he stopped suddenly, "I have a dog at home that must be particularly fond of paper. He has eaten that part of ray sermon that I have not delivered, aud I'll have to stop here." After the meeting a woman met the clergyman at the door and, after shaking him by the hand, asked: "Doctor I want to know whether that dog of yours has any pups. If so, I want to get one of them and give it to my minister." * . .... Uncle John?Why my^girl, youly e grown like a cucumber- vine! What progress are you making towards matrimony?

How to Lose a Situation. The boy who cultivates the following habits is sure to lose his place in a short time and be out on the street looking for another job: Get down to business twenty minutes or half an hour after the rest of the clerks are there and the work of the day is in full swing. When sent on an errand waste as much time as you can on the way and do not get back to business again any sooner thau you can help. Do not take any interest in your work, and never try to do it quickly and neatly. When instructed respecting your duties by your employer, be rude in your manners. Watch the clock instead of your work, that you may be ready to quit on the first stroke of the bell. ! When serving a customer, let him see by your attention and careless manner that you do not care whether or not he makes a purchase. Watch your employer, and when his back is turned waste your time. Spend your evenings on the streets and in saloons rather than in study and selfim?vrntrom<int ILLipj V T VUiVu v. Ask for an advance in wages at the end of the first month.

Foi aale by Bamberg Pharmacy, Throwing Away Toddy. A correspondent of the New York Evening Post sends that paper the following story: Captain?afterwards General?George Pickett used to tell a good story on himself as occurring at that time. He said that he had just mixed himself a toddy when his attention was arrested suddenly by a courier, whose message caused him to mount immediately and ride off, leaving the drink behind him. He was gone some hours. When he returned, the empty glass was on his camp table, where! upon ensued the following colloquy: "Orderly ?" "Yes, sir." "Where's that toddy?" "Threw it away, sir: thought you had done with it, sir." "Where did you throw it; down your d?n throat ?" "Ves, sir; down my d?11 throat, sir," accompanied by a regulation salute. .Tendency of the Times. The tendency of medical science is to^ ward preventive measures. The best Uiongni 01 me worm is ueing given iu me subject. It is easier anil better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that n^edical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these 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 iu breathing and pains in the cbest, 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. "After the war," said Senator Bacon, "there was a great shortage of judges in the South. Iu Georgia many men were put on the bench who had no training in the law. At a circuit court one of these judges presided, and the two lawyers who were trying a case before him thought to have some fun with him. After the evidence had been taken one of the lawyers arose and said: " 'Your honor, both sides are willing to let the case go to the jury without argument and on a statement of the law and the facts bv yourself.' "The judge rose slowly and faced the jury. " 'Gentlemen,' he said, 'you have heard the evidence and what these lawyers have said. If you believe what the lawyer for the defendant says, you must decide for him. If you believe what the plaintiff has said you must decide for him. But if you are like me and don't believe what either one of them has said, I am hanged if I know what you should do.' "?Chicago Chronicle. A neak Stomach causes a weak body and invites disease.

A clerical correspondent of the London Express tells of a wedding ceremony in which he officiated and in his zeal for rubrical observances laid himself open to a comical and crushing retort. "I was then curate of a small country parish in Somersetshire, and one day a couple presented themselves after due preliminaries for marriage in the village church. "All went well until the moment came when It is directed by the rubric that the man shall place the ring upon the fourth finger of the woman's left hand, but then trouble began. The yokel, apparently from nervousness or ignorance, laid hold of the right hand of his expectant bride and placed the ring there resolutely. " 'No,' I said, with quiet firmness, 'you must put the ring on her left hnnri ' Tn this his nnlv renlv was a stolid stare. Thinking he had not understood me, I repeated my words, but with no better effect. "With as much warmth and insistence as was justified by the occasion I now took firmer ground and said, 'If you do not put the ring on her left hand, I must stop the service.' "And then the climax came. With a complacent smile, that seemed to show his satisfaction at having for the moment 'bested' the parson, the bridegroom settled the point for all time with the words, 'Please, sir? she ain't got none!' ** How Billiards Were Invented. The English are very fond of the game of billiards, and a letter in the British museum gives the origin of the sport It was invented by a London pawnbroker, whose name was William Kew. Kew not only lent money, but he sold cloth, and for the latter purpose had a yard measure, with which he used to compute the amounts. One day to distract himself he took the three round balls which are the emblems of his trade?they may still be seen In front of certain shops in London?and, placiDg them on his counter, began to hit them about with his yard measure. * -J- ~ Da tie iuuuu 11 uiuue a pi clijt jjuuic. uc got a kind of skill In making one ball glance off the other, and his friends who saw him thus employed called the game Bill's yard.

They called it after the name of the pawnbroker?a Kew.?Paris Figaro. Ten Men and a Safe.

Through the kiuk3r, bristling twine of the warp are woven the hopes and aspirations of an immortal soul. In the warm colors are expressed the ardors of passionate hearts, the sandstorms they have faced, the cloudbursts under which their backs have bent, the smiling sunshine that has dried their wool; all the adverse and the good fortunes that have befallen are wrought into the Intricate designs. The squaw prays as she pushes the wool card, and she prays as she twirls the distaff in her hand or rolls it on her thigh; she prays as she arranges the healds; she prays as she lustily pounds down the woof strands with her scrub oak batten. A blanket is all a prayer, a human document, a biography bright with the joy tints of canary yellow, dark with the olive green of pain. One is drawn to it because one's heart is moved by Its ineffable, intangible humanness. One is strangely moved to both laughter and tears by its exquisitely variant colors, each expressing an emotion by its warmth of blended fibers, each throbbing to a note of triumph or of woe.?Southern Workman. His Compromise. Mr. Potter was giving his son a few words of fatherly counsel as to his treatment of his young wife. "Now, when you have any little differences of opinion," said Mr. Potter in his most judicial manner, "if you can't* persuade Margaret that you are in the right, you must compromise, my boycompromise with a good grace." "I'll tjy to," said the son respecti fully. "I well remember a little experiencfr1 I iia&-with youf'tfitfther The summer after we were married," continued Mr. Potter. "I wanted to spend six weeks at Saratoga, and your mother preferred to spend the time in taking a trip through Canada. It's thirty odd years ago, but I well remember the arguments we had before I compromised." "How did you do it?" asked the son. "We spent five weeks and a half in Canada," said Mr. Potter, "and from Friday night till Monday morning In Saratoga." No Need to Adjourn. The legislature of a certain state was tardy In adjourning one session, although there seemed to be no important business under consideration. ! Judge Jones, one of the legislators, was met by a friend in the street one hot morning, and the two stopped to talk under the shade of an awning. "Goin' to clear out pretty soon, I jedge?" "I suppose so," answered the statesman, mopping his brow. "Anything much goin' on down at the capitol?' "No." , "Why don't they wind up, then?" "Well, thafs just the trouble. There's nothing but a lot of petty business to bother us, and we don't mind that. I wish something important would come up, and then the motion to adjourn would be in order." Engrllnli In England.
