THURSDAY, February 26,1903.
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

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 [

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. If any one will
five all the other towns and cities in the
tate the go by and visit only High Point <
and U-astonia ne will soon De convinced j
that this is a humming, hustling section,
and that Rip Van Winkleism is a thing
of the past. 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

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. Last week '
Mr. Burton sent for one Mr. Pendergrast,
a furniture repairer, of Leesville, to fix s
the sofa. While dissecting it a sum
variously estimated from four to eight
thousand dollars was found.?Batesburg

WOFFORD COLLEGE NOTES.
Lectures Base Ball, Oratorical Contest,
Personals, Etc
Woffokd College, Spartanburg,
Feb. 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. B. 1

VOI R UNCLE BILL
Writes Entertainingly on Various and
Sundry Subjects*
Editor The Bamberg Herald:?I
speet you will 'be more or less regretful
when you bear that yourconstributor has
ben laid up with a case of the ruraatical
rheumatism and that is the reason why I
have not shown my countenance in these
here col urns erfore. 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 Refused Bail.
The application for bail for J. H. 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.

Willie "what kind of a dog is that?" "A

Willie pondered a moment. "Well," he

it takes him to wind himself up I think it
must be a Waterbury watch dog."

"It's appalling," said an elderly aunt,
who was spending a week in town, "to
see how they use the telephones nowadays.
Only last night, wheQ there -was a
dinner party on, Mary, who was dressing,
answered the telephone, which is in her
room. And it was one of the men calling
her up to say that he had been detained
down-town and was dressing then as
quickly as possible, but didn't want
dinner to be kept waiting for him.
"There the two of them stood talking
to one another just as if they were entirely
dressed and had stopped for a little
chat on the street! I tell you this
generation is a little too much for me."
The Easy PHI,
DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
gripe nor weaken the system. They cure
biliousness, jaundice, constipation and
inactive livers, by arousing the secretions,
moving the bowels gently, yet effectively,
and giving such tone and strength to the
glands pf t)ie stomach, liver and bowels
that the cause of the trouble is rentovod
entirely. These famous little pills exert
a decided tonic effect upon the organs inyolyed,
and if their use is continued for
a few days there will be no return of the
trouble. Bamberg Pharmacy.

The slender woman faced the burly

One Minute Cough Cure gives relief in
one minute, because it kills the microbe
which tickles the mucous membrane,
causing the cough, and at the same time
clears the phlegm, draws out the* inflammation
and heals and soothes the affected
parts. One Minute Cough Cure strengthens
the lungs, wards off pneumonia and
is a harmless and never failing cure in
all curable cases of coughs, colds and
croup. One Minute Cough cure is pleasant
to take, harmless and good alike for
young and old. Bamberg Pharmacy.
A Kansas girl who was married the
other day looked "pale and interesting"
when the knot was tied. In the seven
days before the ceremony she was the
guest of honor at five houses. In that
week she ate a peck of salad, drank a
keg of coffee, stood on her feet thirty
hours, walked a hundred miles, was
pawed over by a dressmaker twenty-four
hours and packed and unpacked her
trunk fifteen times.
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. Be on the safe side and take
