Colleton county's killing record for the
past few weeks is a bad one. 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.

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."

for weak, run down women. No other
medicine can take its place in our family."

A Fine Breed of Dogs.
The Rev. 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."

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.
Impress the head of the firm with the
fact that you know how to run the business
a great deal better than he does.
If a few of these rules are followed,
you will get your discharge at the end of
three mouths.

What Did She Meau.
They were at supper. Between the
courses the young man with the voracious
appetite discoursed eloquently on things
in general.
"Do you know, Miss Dash," he remarked,
"I think there is a very intimate relation
between our food and our character.
I believe, don't you know, that we
grow like what we are most fond of."
The fair girl smiled sweetly.
"How interesting!" she murmured,
"May I pass you the ham, Mr. Jones? 1
am sure you will like it."
And the 3-oung man relapsed into deej
thought.

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.

"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.

BESTED THE PARSON.
A Cane Where the Wedding; H\aK
Went on the Rig;ht Hand.
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

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. It was soon shortened
Into billiards. But the yardstick
was the instrument with which the
balls were knocked about, and difficulty
arose as to what to call it. They
called it after the name of the pawnbroker?a

RELIGION OF THE BLANKET
How the NnTftJo Squaw Prays as She
Spins and Weaves.
It Is a religion to make a Navajo
blanket. 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.
"You must iearu the shop language
before you can go shopping in England,"
says a girl who has just returned
from there and has many stories
to tell of the difficulties met In the
shops. "Shoes are not shoes unless
they are slippers, all boots are high, and
you can't to save your life get a spool
of thread because there is no such
thing?only a reel of cotton. If you
wish cotton, sheeting for instance, you
1 ask for calico, and the tape needle to
, run the ribbons in your gowns is a
bodkin. There is not such a thing as a
shirt waist to be had in all England,
for they have nothing but blouses, and
one would go continually with wet feet
If she did not learn to ask for gaf
locbes."
Chemical Effects of Liehtnlng.

lystem that contracts those diseases which
so often prove fatal. Take heed, build

DufTy's Pure Malt Whiskey is prescribed
by doctors and used exclusively in all the
prominent hospitals. It has stood severe
tests for fifty years and always found
ibsolutely pure and free from fusel oil
ind all dangerous ingredients.
CAUTION. ? When buying Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey be- sure you get
the genuine. Unscrupulous dealers,
mindful of the excellence of this
preparation, are seeking continually
to put upon the market for profit
only, and will try to sell you
cheap imitations and so-called Malt
Whiskey substitutes, which, far
from relieving the sick, are positively
harmful. Demand Duffy's
and be sure you get it. It is the
only absolutely pure malt whiskey
which contains medicinal healthgiving
