It will be noticed that at the union meetings of the Barnwell Baptist Association, to be held on Saturday before the fifth Sunday in March, the query of "The tendency to lawlessness in our State, who is responsible?" will be discussed by able ministers and men of that church. We hope and expect much good to result from the discussion of this very important subject. i * * * . The refusal of Judge Pope to grant bail , to J. H. Tillman will be a surprise to 1 many people, for it has been the rule in 1 this State to grant bail in all cases, this being the only one we have ever known ( of where bail for a murderer was refused. j The effect of the action of the chief jus- ] I tice will be we believe to create a greater respect for the law and consequently a ; greater regard for human life, and God grant it may be the dawning of a better i day for South Carolina. * ' * * i If a sentiment iD favor of law and order < is to be created to any great extent, in so 1 far as it relates to carrying concealed ! weapons and shooting people, we must be- j gin by ostracising socially and in a busi- i ness way the man who, habitually violates the law by carrying a weapon on his per- ; son. Right here is the great stumbling , block. Men carry pistols daily and many < of us know it, but the fact does not seem to bother us until a good man is shot , down. We firmly believe that back of all j this lawlessness and murder lies the concealed weapons evil. Until this is eradi- ! cated the condition of affairs will not im- ' prove very much. i Among the Tarheels. < Pineyille, N. C., Feb. 20.?This is not "the land of the sky"?"Ortolay"?as it ! is called in the mellow Indian tongue. That is over in the Blue Ridge regions j many miles away and once the home and j vicinage of Zeb.'Vance, North Carolina's J "war Governor," and surely this is aland of corn, and rocks and from the days of "our rude forefathers" corn whiskey has been the the proverbial beverage. This : recalls to mind a stanza penned in the long ago doubtless by a veteran tippler: 1 He who buys land buys many stones, He who buys fish buys many bones, i He who buys eggs buys many shells, But he who buys corn whiskey buys 1 nothing else. ^ Three or four weeks ago several old farmers, Confederate veterans and a 1 merchant were discussing the vagaries : - of the weather, etc. One of the former, 1 who had evidently taken a nip or two of 1 the juice, said he harvested a very poor [ A# mknnt lftcf TTOOF o ,1 ^ 1110 T*Q in(J i VIVp U1 VY iicat ItftOl J tfti auu 11 vuv did not cease soon it would be too late to ? plant any more this winter (having sown J some about the 1st of December before ( the rains set in) and that 'twould be dog- ( goned hard to have to buy "white bread" ' again this summer. The writer observed ^ that we ought not to complain as our ' sires pulled through 1816?the year the summer never did set in, adding in April 8 of that year, as the record goes, the snow r was from 4 to 6 feet deep and it was too 6 cold to plant in May. In June the snow c had disappeared but the ground was still 1 frozen. On July the 4th water froze in 1 the wells and pitchers; towards noon I snow fell and in the afternoon there was skating and dancing on the ponds, s , Wheat of course was destroyed, but the t little corn tasseled in August and was cut ' down for forage. Seed for 1817 had to be t got from the crop of 1815 and the West Indies. Flour went up to $17.(>0 a barrel. The old farmer arose from his seat, c leaned over a little, and said: "Stranger, ] what year did you say that was ?" "1816, ? sir." "Well, I'll be goldarned?but where ( did the people git any rhino to buy with z ef (hey made nuthin and got nuthin for ( it nayther ?" "Borrow from those who ] had it as they do now," was the reply, j He strode towards the door, looked over s the creek at the trees, rocks and houses g silhouetted against the nor'western hori- ] zon saying as he left the steps, sotto voce: \ "We don't need any summer snows here." t This is also a land of mills, factories, ? manufactories and in fact all the in- ] dustries that tend to the upbuilding of a great commonwealth.

Some one has said that the ] former,though comparatively a new town, is taking the lead in the wood-working business in the South. It has twenty furniture factories and minor industries galore. A company will soon build a large silk mill here, employing 1000 hands ; to manipulate the raw silk brought from . Japan and Italy. ] In a future communication something may be related of the stealing at night of a railroad in the "old North State" a fewyears ago. S. O. Jotjrner. Yaluable Old Sofa. A week or so ago at a sale of the personal effects of the late James Bodie, Mr. Joseph Burton of Ridge Spring, a J son in-law of the deceased, bought an old sofa, a relic of the family.

IT.?The people of Spartanburg as well as the students of Wofford have had the rare privilege of hearing Mr. Ernest Seaton Thompson at his best during the past week. On Friday afternoon he gave i matinee for children, his subject being, The Fersorality of Wild Animals." He held his audience of young folks in rapt Attention for fully one hour and a half. His illustrations* some sketched by the lecturer himself, were very fine. In the evening he gave his regular lecture on "Wild Animals I Have Known." At a quarter of nine the lecturer was introduced with a few suitable remarks by Bishop W. W. Duncan. The clear voice of the speaker at once caught the ears of the eight hundred people who had come to hear this famous man. Without delay the auditorium was darkened and illustrations were quickly flashed on a large canvas. Mr. Thompson told of the antelopes on the plains, of the moose in Canada, of the various birds which live on the banks of the Red River, the swamp of which river, he says, is the home of more different kinds of birds than that of any other in the world. He told of many other wild creatures in a most entertaining manner. When he ended his lecture at ten-fiftv o'clock, all nresent were glad that they had come, and went away feeling that they were wiser than before. Again on Saturday afternoon he lectured in the Wofford Auditorium, this time by special request of the people of the city. The very fact that he consented to do so is an honor to the city, for he never remains in one piace long,especially in a piace so small as this. He lectured on "The Indians as I Know Them." This lecture was no less enjoyed than the two preceding ones. Mr. Thompson i9 a wellknown lecturer and has gained a wide reputation as an author, having written several books, among them being, "Wild Animals I Have Known," and "Lives of the Hunted." Manager Wilson and Captain Brabham, of the base ball team, in accordance with their promises, have arranged a fine schedule for the coming season. Most of the games, as will be noticed in the schedule given in another place, are to played in Spartanburg. Those who "make team" will have the pleasure of a tine trip up through Tennessee. This year we are to have fourteen games, in former years we were given only ten. On last Thursday afternoon, the candidates for the various places on the team went out on the athletic field for the first time. While considerable rust has accumulated on the players, this will wear off soon and then nothing but fast practicing will be seen. The opening of the second session was a surprise to us. While we were confident that there would be a large increase in attendance, we did not look for such as there was. President Snyder said to the writer, in talking about the attendance of the college, that the present enrollment is the largest ever known in the history of the college, there being registered one hundred and ninety-five in the college proper, and ninety-six in the Fitting School, making a total of nearly three hundred students on the campus. Last week about twenty-five boys went over to Greenville to attend the Y. M. C. A. Convention held in that city. Mr. C. L. Smith, president-elect, of our Y. M. C. A., was elected secretary of the Convention. It is probable that the Uoneention will meet in Spartanburg, next year. President Snyder has been sick during the whole of last week. He is suffering from an attack of la grippe. < Several of the boys are laid up with die mumps; others with vaccinated arms. The Oratorical Contest was held last > light in the new auditorium in the iresence of a large and appreciative au- 1 lience. The speakers came in the-follwng order and spoke on their respective 1 subjects: E. K. Hardin Jr., "The South's 1 Duty to Her Factory Children;" W. K. ! Dreene, "The Gospel of Wealth;" D. E. Camak, "The South is Finding Her Diamond Fields;" S. M. Daw kins, "The Future of the Democratic Party;" C. L. Smith, "Organized Labor;" L. I. Crum, < 4 A Civic Danger." The speeches were ill of a high order and delivered in ] nasterful and commanding tones. After lome moments of patient waiting the au- j lience was informed that the medal had )een awarded to Mr. W. K. Greene, who \ eceived his reward amid deafening ap)lause. ? Mr. Greene will be Wofford's repre- < ientative in the State Oratorical Contest, ] o be held in Greenwood on April 23. ] rhat he will win there as he won here is j he belief of the student body.

I wish you would ask Jonathan Brown how to move a well. 1 had one on my farm that I wanted moved only exactly about 200 yards, but couldn't get a single or solitaire son of Ham (or a married one either) to undertake it, or overtake it or take it by the side?they just wouldn't tech the job. I want to say that I have very much enjoyed Jonathan's Prognostications in this here periodigal and 1 have been contemplating why he did preambulate for you more unfrequeutly. Great is the inind of man (to say nothing of that of worn in) but sir, it pears to me that these telegraph coorporations is far behind the times, if they do boast consuming this new fangled wirelesser telegarnify. Nigh on to a fortnight ago I received a letter from my oldest daughter, Sal, that same one what organate so melodiously on the piana, saying as how she was rnouty sick. Now Sal habitates in that great city of Shecargo. Says I to Betsey Anna, who ny way 01 parenimsus is my conjucai, partner, when I seed that letter, "It'll never do to let the poor child perish away off in them furin parts for want of administration, so I'll put out to town dimediately and send her by telegram some of my emolution of Sampson snake root and bitter herb, [which I knowed would fetch her^ round atter all thern surburban magicians failed] well sir, consider my consternation, mortifation and astonishment when I was told by the operater that "they didn't send packages by telegram." When I got home and manifested this information to Betsey Anna, we both lowed in almost the same breath, "0 the inefticeency of human instrumentality." Speaking of edification, what do you opine of these vanced methods of disparting acknowledge now practiced by these ekicidating perfessors in modern acamidemical misinstruction V I myself am only a man of unlimited edification, but I have an opinion howsoever. Atter my son Tom had been in attention upon the Cedar Hill Accademmy for two weeks, I ascertained him one night that I might catechise what retrogression he was making. Says I, "Tom how do they spell tater at your school?" "P-o-t-" began Tom. "Stop," says I," Preponderous and incomprehensible!" That, Mister Editor, is my disbiased opinion of now-a-day school methods, and I give it for what it may be worth. I myself individual am a telefonetic orthografer. So finally at last, and to make a short story shorter I disengaged your cousin Tom from that school in the twinkle of an eye. I have subsequently been "ruminating about fire insurance in general and fires in particular?the wisdom of both. Now many persons retend that these fires are only incendiary, but sir, ray opinion is that are sot. One of your citizens and me was not long ago since concussing this question. Said he would not "play rat" himself, but had no quarrel with those who did. "For," says ee, "insurance people are milliners (private to the editor ?please lend me here the right word. I know that milliners are not always women who presess millions, although they ought, to, getting the prices they do; but" I forget the prezact word) and can stand it. "But," says I, "it make the premiums we honest people are propelled to refund more loftier (same as higher). Now that was a clincher he dasent try to unclinch. Most disrespectfully, Your Uncle Bill.

Tillman for the killing of N. 6. Gonzales was heard before Chief Justice Pope in Columbia last Thursday afternoon. The defendant was represented by Geo. W. Croft, of Aiken, and P. H. Nelson, of Columbia, while Solicitor J. Wm. Thurmond, Judge Andrew Crawford, and G. Duncan Bellinger represented the prosecution. A number of affidavits on both sides were presented. After hearing argument of counsel, Judge Pope declined to grant bail. While he said he would not give his reasons for denying the application, he held that Tillman had provocation, but that he must have had malice against Gonzales. The right to apply to another Judge for "bail was given, but this will hardly be done after Judge Pope's refusal, and Tillman will have to stay in jail until his trial, which will possibly take place in Golnmbia in April. It is said that Tillman was much disappointed as he fully expected bail to be granted him, and "already had his bond rilled out so that he could be released from jail the sanje afternoon. Public sentiment strongly sustains Judge Pope. A man was asked recently by the gruff pan at the stamp window, after he had deposited two cents: "Well, what do you want?" He answered gently, "an automobile please." Verily a soft answer turneth away wrath. Merchant Cto new boy)?Has the bookkeeper toki vou wjp.t tQ db ih the afterioou ?

Tendency of the Times. The tendency of medical science is to^ ward preventive measures. The best thought of the world 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 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 receut years, and can b^ 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 and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneu monia.
