And Senator Tilluian has been found
out West with his pockets full of railroad
passes, telegraph franks, etc., just like
any other "boodle" Senator. And yet
some people still think he is honest in his
mouthings about trusts and corporations!
No sensible person needs any better
proof of corruption in the State dispensary
machine than the simple fact of so
many fellows wanting the job as member
of the State board of directors. This
place pays $400 a year, and yet some men
spend three or four times this sum trying
to get it. These dispensary editors who
are continuous apologizers for the system
always yell out "specify," and yet they
know well enough that no mafi wants the
position of State dispensary director for
the honor there is in it. The dispensary
system is in worse repute now among our
people generally than at any time since
it's institution, and seems to be growing
worse.
Awful Crime in Colleton.
Walterboro, Aug. 8.?Yesterday between
12 and 1 o'clock one of the most

-was committed at Ciiurch Flat, about
two miles from Rautowles station, on the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad. Lizzie
Aiken, a negro woman about 40 years
old, killed two of her children by cutting
their heads off with an axe. One of the
children was 5 years old and the other 3.
It is said their beads were severed completely
from the body, not a nerve or
vein or anything left to connect them.
The body of the older child was cut in
other places, showing that the crazed
mother met with some resistance in
killing this one. Both children were
It seems that an effort was made to
horn them after the bloody work of the
axe, for a fire had been kindled around
the body of the younger child.
The woman was committed to jail this
morning by Thos. Fields, constable for
Magistrate Behling, and from what he
aayg the woman must, have been crazy.
He says she claimed that a dog came
r along and told her the world would be
destroyed unless she killed them in order
to save the world. She admitted the
killing to Magistrate Behling, but now
denies it most strenuously.
Philip Ramsey was convicted a fewdays
ago of the murder of Chas. Bryant,
and was sentenced by Judge Watts to
lijul? ou iiUC wuiu u.i> ui oc^tcmuci ucai.
The- testimony showed that he shot
Bryant without any cause or provocation.
P?r' Ramsey is a negro boy about 18 or 19
years of age and is strong and muscular.
He does not seem to have much intelli[
* gence, and when the sentence of death
gtK was pronounced he showed no emotion
whatever.
This makes two convictions for murder
jj?^. without recommendation to mercy in
Colleton within the last six months. The
other was that of R. A. Adams, a white
; man. convicted for killing Henry Jaques
in February last. His execution was
stayed on account of an appeal taken to
the supreme court.
The Yalue of a Yacation.
Bpf A vacation pays as much from the
Egg- standpoint of character as from any other
point of view. Just as "every man is a
rascal when he is sick," so the best-intentioned
man in the world may be a
brute when he is worn out physically,
and working and planning, or trying to
do so, with a fagged, weary brain. The
brutal qualities in a man's nature come to
the surface when he has drained his
vitality to the dregs. He loses his self?
control and his passions get the better of
him. He does things which in his soul
he condemns, and says things for which
?he afterwards hates himself, and all because
he lacks physical stamina. The
| . long strain of the year has made him so
irritable and exacting that the merest
trifle upsets him. He goes all to pieces

Patent Pill Pleasure,
The pills that are potent in their action
and pleasant in effect are De Witt's Little
Early Risers. W. S. Philpot of Albany,
Ga., says: "During a bilious attack I
took one. Small as it was it did me more
good than calomel, blue-mass or any
.. ? other pills I ever took and at the same
time it affected me pleasantly. Little
Early Risers are certainly an ideal pill."

Annapolis?A Vision of the Old.
Annapolis, Mil, August 6.?'The traveller,
as he looks through the dusty win- :i
dow of his train slowly crossing the great (
Severn draw-bridge, beholds with sur- 1
prise the giaut cranes and tall scaffolds, >
that rise high up in the air about two t
miles below the bridge. As the train <
crosses the bridge, one has time to catch ;
only a glimpse of the magnificent view j
to be seen from it. (
Quickly the train crosses the river and i
after passing several curves finally pulls (
into the station. s
Alighting from the car upon the plat- t
form of an old depot, one beholds with a <
feeling of delight, the great oaks and t
maples, which are on all sides. The old t
trees have braved the storms of many <
years, and still live as a mouumeut to the ]
men, who planted them in the seven- 1
teeuth century. ]
A group of little negroes, typical of a 1
Southern state, rush at the new comer, 1
all eager to make a dime by carrying his i
grip. "I'll tote it all de way to de yard ]
tor a dime, sur," they cry. scarcely j
knowing where he is being led, the visitor
follows, wondering what is uieaut bylhe
"yard." Telling his guide to turn from
the " yard" to the nearest hotel?a
remark which is met with a downcast
look on the shining black face, he presently
arrives at the city inn, Carvel
Hall. The little negro seems to thiuk
that the visitor has made a mistake and
insists that he go on to "de yard." Anxious
to ascertain what and where is the
yard, the little negro is closely questioned
and finally gives out that out of
every five hundred visitors to Annapolis
four hundred and ninety-nine go to the
Naval Academy, which is known to all
as the " yard."
Passing through the gate, an old fashioned
iron structure brought over from
Eugland, one ascends a long flight of
steps, which leads to a broad piazza, ex- ,
tending completely arouud the house.
Pausing at the door, the old knocker is ,
raised and, as the dull thud echoes .
through the hall, one recalls this famous
old house?made so by a prominent modern
novelist.
Soon the door with its wide mahogany
panels and snowy knobs slowly opens
aud the stranger is welcomed by a son of }
the old South. His silvery locks hang
down upon his shoulders, his piercing
eyes are deep set, his deep eyebrows are i
drawn, his shoulders are stooped?his
every feature tells of poverty; but the
ring of his voice assures you that al- .
though poverty is felt, it will never be
expressed. With a deep bow and a ,
hearty hand shake he welcomes you to :
his home.
Carvel Hall is a hotel, but should one *
be so thoughtless as to ask for board, his \
host would feel personally insulted. Here
the traveller is a visitor, no register is !
kept, and, when the bill is paid, it is for
the "room I have occupied." In the j

over from England. There is the coat of 1
arms of the Carvel family, and there on *
the wall hang the paintings of the ances- 1
tors of your proud host. He takes great '
interest in telling you the personal his- '
tory of each of the tine faces on the s
wall. There is one who fought in the *
War of the Roses; there is one being
conferred with the order "of knighthood;
there is one in the throes of death on the '
field of Naseby; there is the first to come 1
to America, and so on with the whole 1
line, he tells their history. *
Every corner in the old house has some >
peculiar point of interest attached to it. *
On the broad piazza one still can sit in ]
the old-fashioned rocker. From here is i
an excellent view of the town. On both 1
sides of the narrow, crooked lanes are i
houses crumbling with age?their walls <
are clad with ivjT, which was at first only I
planted beside the great wide chimneys. ?
Over on the right can be seen the spire 1
of the famous old St. Anne's Episcopal (
Church built in 1640 and its famous old ?
church yard. Over on the left is the 1
State Capitol with its stately chambers,
which echoed alike with the words of
great men as they debated the cause of
the Revolution and the cause of States'
Rights. I
The streets are quite interesting. Some c
are narrow and straight, others broad }
and crooked. The most curious of all, 1
however, are the circles. These are the *
streets, which were laid out by the early J
colonists, and are in the shape of perfect *
circles. Oue, not knowing the town, 1
will find it very difficult to keep from }
retracing his steps for hours at a time. !
The streets still bear the names given *
them in the early days. For instance, s
one will pass along Prince street, Duke v
of Gloucester street, Queen Ann street, c
King George street, and Berefot street.
When night falls the traveller slowly '
wanders back to the iun, and is again
met by the host. Before allowing him
to retire, he brings out from the glitter- y
iug side-board a decanter and fills up the s
glasses with his famous Maryland wine. j
Now he is at his best, and proudly boasts ]
of his ancestors, his wealth before the (
war, Ms old uome, us lair misiress, nis i
brave sons, and bis beautiful daughter. ?
He tell of the sport he once had with his 1
hounds, 'and of the great men he has l
entertained. Finally, as if he recalled (
his present poverty, his eyes glisten, his
head falls back upon the cushioned chair
and soon he is asleep?the great characteristic
of a Southern gentleman before
the war. j
The visitor picks up an old candelabra J
and, leaving his host, retires to his room. (
'Tis of the same general appearance as 1
the others. Here is "old South" im- 1
printed on everything. The high ma- .
hogany bed with its snowy coverlet and
silk canopy. The furniture is of the j
same style as that in other old houses, J
too numerous to be separately considered 1
in such a short letter. }
Thus we have drawn us a picture, how- J
ever rudely it may be sketched, yet true J
in detail, of the old Annapolis. To fol- 1
low will be the new Aunapolis, scenes iu

Satisfactory ttuaraittee.
A stock boy in the sales room of one of r
the silk thread houses of the city enter- c
tains the hope of one day being sales- (
man. To encourage this among the 1
clerks it is the policy of the house to ^
allow a certain commission ou all sales
outside, where such sales do uot conflict
with the regular salesmen. The youth
iu question, just past sixteen, sold a bill
of silk a few days ago iu Manayuuk, (
which is his home. After waiting two t
days for the order to be passed to the 1
store for attention he approached the i
credit man and made inquiry about the
delay. He was told that before a mere i
account could be opened something must i
be learned about the staudiug of the s
person placing the order. This had s
never occurred to the young salesman J
and for a moment he was lost as to what
to say. Seeing his embarrassment the ^
credit man said : " Well, Smith, what dp f
you know about this man V Possibly ^
vou can give us the desired information " f
bulling himself together and assuming t
the air of a salesman of many years' c
experience, he said: "Well, I'll tell you;
he is the uncle of my girl, and if he's
like her he's all right. I wouldn't mind
guaranteeing the account." The goods ,

The Hero of the Lake Region.
A story of an heroic and intelligent
ict by a young collie dog comes from
Cage's Lake, 111., and as a result the dog
las found a new home, and where he
vill tie treated as one of the family. One
tfternoon, a few days ago, a 31-year-old
:hild disappeared from the camp 011 the
shores of the lake where the child's
jarents were enjoying an outing. When
larkuess came on the child had not put
n an appearance, and everybody turned
>ut to search for her. All night the
search was kept up, and the anxiety of
;he parents knew no bounds. Finally it
was concluded the little one had died in
lie water, vid arrangements were made
jy the father to drag the lake. The camp
>f the family is on the farm of Henry
VIeak. The next day, about 10 o'clock,
VIr. Meak was returning from driving
jis cattle to pasture, and his dog ran
with him. Suddenly the animal began
marking terrifically under a pile of brush.
Mr. Meak thought little of it and
passed on, calling to the dog to follow,
but the animal kept on barking and
refused to move. Fiually, drawn from
curiosity, the dog's owner thought he
would investigate, and going to the
brush, saw asleep on the ground the
little wanderer, wholly oblivions to her
surroundings, aud unconscious that she
had been the cause of so much excitement
and worry, says the Live Stock
Tribune. She was picked up and carried
home to the tearful mother, aud the
entire community rejoiced at her beiug
found. The father of the child went to
the farmer and insisted that he should
have the dog. He gave a good price for
Lhe collie, which is now the hero of the
lake region.
Dysentery Cared Without the Aid of a

a well known merchant of Drummond,
Tenn. " I used one small bottle of
Chamberlain's colic, cholera and diarrhoea
remedy and wa9 cured without having a
ioetor. I consider it the best cholera
medicine in the world." There is no
need of employing a doctor when this
remedy is used, for no doctor can prescribe
i belter medicine for bowel complaint in
iny form, either for children or adults.
It never fails and is pleasant to take.

Tiliman is Robbed and Fired Out.
The following appeared in last Friday's
press dispatches from Chicago :
United States Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina, is reported to be lost
somewhere between Kansas City and
Chicago.
He was booked for apartments in the
Auditorium Hotel and a number of politicians,
who are gathered there for a conference,
are anxiously awaiting his coming.
He is reported to have left a train,
having failed to find his transportation
or cash, and so far as can be learned from
railroad officials, he is at a way station
awaiting a remittance.
Senator Tillman is said to have found,
when asked on the train for his ticket,
that his pockets had been picked and that
he had nothing on his person to identify
him to the conductor.
The trainmen telegraphed for instructions
hut the Chicago officials had no
means of determining whether or not
the passenger was an irnposter, and
instructed the couductor to use his
JUUgiUCUt.
Tiie train has since reached Chicago
aud the conductor has vanished. Senator
Tillman has failed to appear either at the
Auditorium or any other hotel.
There is a story going around among
Chicago railroad men that the conductor
did not know Senator Tillman aud
ejected him from the train, and that the
Senator is stranded. Telegrams sent
along the line have failed to locate him.
At midnight prominent railroad officials
were sending telegrams broadcast
making inquiries for the lost senator.
Saturday's dispatches brought the following
from St. Louis:
Senator Benjamin R.Tillman, of South
Carolina, arrived in the city last night
from Shelbyville, Illinois, where he delivered
an address before the Lithia Springs
Chautauqua, departing to-day for Kausas.
Immediately upon arriving here the
senator notified the various railroads,
express aud telegraph companies of the
loss of his wallet filled with passes and
franks.
The Senator was loth to admit that he
had been "touched" but his wallet had
disappeared.
He rather resented the suggestion that
he had been robbed, stating that his
wallet must have fallen out of his pocket,
aud doubted the ability of a pickpocket
to touch him.
When asked if it was not something
unusual for him to accept railroad passes
aud corporation franks, Senator Tillman
said : " How can I help accepting them ?
TLey stick to me 'till naturally I have to
take them. Tbey don't influence my vote
or talk. It is different down in our country
from what it is up here. You have not
heard of anybody being bought with
thousand dollar bills down our- way,
have you ? "
The natural inference is that bills of a
smaller denomination would be ample
compensation?even a railroad pass on
some jerkwater railroad.
The Senator is so intensely in earnest
in his war against corporation influeuce,
that he failed to see the humor their
passes put to his remarks.

The Newberry Observer says: "The
practice of giving Clemson the entire
tag tax without reference to the amount
is \ very loose way for the State to do
business." All efforts to remedy this unbusinesslike
plan have failed heretofore,
because it was said the farmers paid it
to educate their sons to become scientific
farmers. Since it is a fact that only four
Clemson graduates this year are actually
to engage in farming, perhaps we may
hope to have less demagogy and more
business in legislating on tbis matter.?

ONIONS AND LEMONS.
Said to Be u Protection In Caaea of
Contagloua Disease.
When a mere lad I hud often hoard It
said that the eating of onions and
lemons was a protection against contagious
diseases, and when about eighteen
years of age I had an opportunity
to test them for myself. I had spent
the winter in the city of New Orleans,
where, in the spring, yellow fever of a
virulent type made its appearance,
causing an urgent demand for nurses,
and. having faith in what I h*d heard
of the protective power of odk>ns and
lemons, I concluded to take what my
friends called a ghastly risk and made
application at the Common Street hospital
for a position as nurse, was accepted
and entered at once upon a line
of duty, in commencing which I began
the use of raw onions and lemons, alternating
weekly with lemons, always
taking them just before going to bed.
I took no other remedy, although
medicine was provided every morning
for all attaches. At the expiration of
the tenth week I was no longer needed
and left In as vigorous health as when
I entered the hospital.
On taking my departure 1 was reI
minded by the head physician that his
medicine had probably preserved my
health. Nevertheless a number of
nurses and attaches had $ed of the
fever, despite his vaunted mbdical abilj
ity. Before leaving the institution I ac!
quainted the doctor with the fact that
I had not used his medicine, but had
j relied solely upon my onion-lemon
treatment, when he said it was a wonI
der that it had not killed me and if it
had that I had deserved it.
On another occasion I had a similar
experience with smallpox cases in a
northern city, finding the onion and
lemon a perfect protection to myself
and many of my associates.?Medical

THE BOY JOHN WESLEY.
Ho Evidence of Any Precocioaaneas
la Hla Heliffiona Development.
Of the nineteen children born to Samuel
and Susanna Wesley only ten survived
the period of infancy, and of
these only three were sons. John was
thirteen years" younger than Samuel
and six years older than Charles. Of
his early boyhood only one incident is
recorded. On a February night in 170S
the rectory was burned. The family,
hurrying out in terror, left the boy
John sleeping in his attic chamber, and
he was taken out through a window
only an instant before the blazing rooi
fell in upon his bed. Wesley always
retained a vivid recollection of the
scene, and more than a half century
later, when, thinking himself near
death, he composed his epitaph, he de
scribes himself as "a brand plucked
from the burning."
His mother deemed his rescue a prov
idential indication that her son was
preserved for some great work and re
solved, as she says, "to be more particularly
careful of the soul of this chile
that Thou hast so mercifully provided
for." There is, however, no evidence
of anything precocious in the religious
development of the boy, but only a cer
tain staid, overdeliberateness which h<
got from his mother, but which to the
more mercurial temperament of the fa
ther seemed in a lad not yet in his teens
half amusing and half vexatious

LYNCH LAW.
It Mar Have Taken Its Name From a
Mayor of Gal way.
About the year 1500 one James Fitzsteplions
Lynch was mayor of the town
of Galway, In Ireland. lie had sent his
son on a trading expedition to Spain
with a good cargo and a large sum of
money. The young man returned with
a ship load of valuable commodities,
which he reported as having been purchased
with the money and with the
proceeds of the outgoing cargo. After
some time a Spaniard came along, demanding
payment from the mayor for
the goods he alleged had been bought
on credit by his son. The mayor do
clincd payment, as his son averred he
had paid in cash for the goods. Unfortunately
for the latter, a sailor who
had been one of the crew on exaltation
by Mayor Lynch declared that his
unworthy son had spent in reckless
debauchery not only the money intrusted
to him, but the proceeds of the
cargo as well; that he had then bought
goods from a large firm on credit, and
' 1 ^^ nortnnro nf tho
lilUl WUtfXl OUC Ul luc |Hiiiuv>? U?
firm came down to the ship before sailing
to receive the money young Lynch
murdered the man and had him thrown
overboard to conceal the facts from
his father.
The young man was immediately arrested
and brought before his father,
who, notwithstanding the tearfui entreaties
of his wife and daughters, sentenced
him to death. He took him upstairs
in his warehouse, adjusted a
rope around his neck, having first secured
it inside, and then pushed the
young man out of the window, where
his dying struggles were witnessed by
the inhabitants of the town of Galway.
In the town records this entry is yet
to be seen:
"James Lynch, mayor of Galway,
hanged his own son out of the window
for defrauding and killing strangers,
without martial or common law, to
show a good example to posterity."
It may be from that incident that
lynch law took its name. It is not a peculiar
American institution, as is commonly
supposed, but has been practiced
! in other countries. The English had a
walled town in Devonshire of the name
, or Lydford, which became noted for j
, the summary punishments inflicted on i
' notorious offenders. They became pro- j
( verbial in England as Lydford law, ;
and it is not impossible that lynch may
I be a corruption of Lydford. In Scotland
j it was known as "Jedburgh justice."
James Lynch, a justice of the peace
, in one of the Piedmont counties in Vir'
ginia, whose methods were both sumk
mary and severe, is also credited with
having given his name to this offhand
. and expeditious mode of dealing with
criminals now generally known as
I lynch law.?Pittsburg Gazette.
