We wonder if the people of South Carolina

United States Senate after roasting him so
thoroughly for g^cepting passes from corporations.

official setting forth his wants with the
additional statement that his money was
(scarce and he wanted the necessary li'

had.as much nerve in battle as he has in
matrimonial affairs, he must have made a
cracking good soldier, and the official

We cannot understand why many
newspapers keep on printing that old
! humbug called " newspaper laws " which
threaten a man with all sorts of dire
punishment if he does not pay for his
paper or refuses to take it from the office,
etc. There is absolntely no use in it, and
it seems nonsensical to waste space
which should be given up to news. The
best plan is to make people pay for your
paper, or in other words, "no pay, no
paper."
Good roads are essential to the upbuilding
of a real good town. One of
the things by which and for which a
town or city is recognized is its streets.
The Bamberg commonwealth is one of
^ which the State might be proud when
the matter of good roads is considered.
An appropriation of $2,060 for the improvement
of public roads is no unimportant
matter to our little city. Well
kept streets are a blessing to a town;
not only does a city look better, but the
CTAftt <mnd from a sanitary standooint
is also a great factor. The claying of
Bailroad Avenue is one of the best pieces
of work done in Bamberg in quite a long
while. The heavy sand beds have been
done away with and in their places good
clay roads are seen. In a short while all
the heavy roads will be clayed and then
will our town be well fixed as to good
roads. We commend the good work of
the city council to the people of Bamberg.
They have done a good work and are
still doing it; may they keep it up until
we may boast of as good streets as any
(town in the whole State.
If you need a buggy or wagon you can't
afford not to get Frank Bamberg's prices.
He is not giving this stuff away, but he is
coming as near doing that as any other
dealer in the State.

The Thoriwell Orphanage.
Thp. Thnrnwell OrDhanacre. located in
Clinton, South Carolina, is an institution
for the primary, high school and
advanced education, both literary aud
technical, of orphan boys and girls. The
institution is under the control of trustees
appointed by the three Synods of
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, but
it receives pupils from any religious
denominations and from any part of our
common country.
Orphans to be received, must be with>
out means of support of their own and
hence the care of them rests upon the
general public. Contributions for the
aid of the institution are not ordered by j
any church court; there are no agents
canvassing the field asking for money;,
there are no collection boxes ou the
premises of the institution. The only
dependence of these orphans for their
daily bread is on the goodness of God,
the printed page, and the generous help
given by the press in spreading information
about the work.
The boys aud girls are not legally
bound to the institution but are free to
come aud go. Tbey choose to come.
They hate to leave us even when all has
been done for them that can be done by
the institution. As they are well taught
in their books and trained in various
trades, such as printing, carpentry, farming,
laundering and the like, they are
always able to take care of themselves on
leaving us.
We have one hundred and two orphans
from South Carolina, forty-two from
Georgia, sixteen from Florida, and fortytwo
from twelve other States and
territories.
Those who love the fatherless, (all of
our two hundred children are fatherless)
can aid by sending flour, molasses, sugar,
rice, meal, or any other kind of provisions
except vegetables, (which they raise
for themselves) or by gifts of money.
The sum of five dollars will board and
clothe a child for one month. Almost
anybody can by that small gift, be a protector
of some orphan for thirty days.
This may be sent simply to Thornwell
Orphanage, or to Rev. Dr. Jacobs, Clinton,
S. C., who will take pleasure in
giving additional information to any
asking for it.
If you need a buggy or wagon, you can't
afford not to get Frank Bamberg's prices.
He is not giviug this stuff away, but he is
coining as near doing that as any other
dealer in the State.

AGAINST THE LAW.
senator Tillman Liable to a Fine of J
$1,000 to $.>,000.
The Raleigh News and Observer holds
,hat Senator Tillman, because of his free
ise of deadhead privileges in the way of
free passes on ttje railroads and free 1
franks from the telegraph company, and 1
free transportation from the express i
companies, is "no worse or no better than
bis colleagues." That is a generous view
to take of the matter, but it is not a ,
correct view, as our contemporary must
admit if it will only recall the fact that
it was Senator Tillman himself who 1
made the fight against the use of free
passes by any officer of the State government
in South Carolina.?News and
Courier.
The News and Observer says:
" Senator Tillman says that members
of congress are 4 loaded down with free
passes.' The inter-state commerce act
forbids free nasses under a Denaltv of
'not less than $1,000 and not "more than
$5,000.' The North Carolina statutes,
which our courts enforce, is a verbatim
copy of the United States statute. Why
is it that no federal district attorney
takes steps to enforce the United States
law? Do federal judges and district
attorneys accept these favors ? Auy
member of congress, judge or any other
public officer who takes them, violates
his oath to obey the constitution and
laws of the United States."

The proposed enlargement of the

trust effectively fought. South Carolina
tobacco for South Carolinians should be
the rule now and hereafter. Profit in
such a venture will of course depend on
the management of the business. South

THE J. H. TILLMAN TRIAL.
Larse Crowds to Attend ?The Prisoner
Comfortably Fixed. :
A special from Lexington to the
Spartanburg Journal says: 1
About a month hence it is expected
that this little town will be entertaining
the largest number of visitors ever kuowu
in its history. The trial of James H. !
Tillman for the murder of N. G. Gonzales
in Columbia is set for that time, and it is !
generally believed will be delayed no
longer. Almost five hundred witnesses
have been summoned to appear in this
case by the opposing sides. 1
All available space in the hotels has '
been engaged weeks since by interested
parties, and how the immense number of i
spectators sure to be on hand will be
accommodated is an interesting problem.
The last census gave the town something
over nine hundred inhabitants. It
is thought that at least five thousand will
be here during the trial.
Meantime the prisoner occupies his
* * ' * M ai
cell in me .uexingion county jau. ouenu
Caugbman has made hira as comfortable
as possible, putting bim on tbe sbadv
side of tbe building on the first floor near
the sheriff's own quarters and occasionally
permitting biin to exercise himself
by walking up and down the corridor.
As a rule the sheriff does not lock the
cell from the outside but leaves the lock
for Tillman to turn if h.e so desires.
Three times a day' Mr. Marks, who
keeps a restaurant just behind the jail,
can be seen bringing the prisoner his
meals. Tillman states that he finds his
quarters here pleasauter than those in
the Richland jail, where he was imprisoned
during some warm days of May
and June.
Many visitors attracted by curiosity or
other motives go to see the noted prisoner.
Some time since his wife and little
daughter spent several days in Lexington
with relatives and made frequent visits
to the jail. Others of his kiusfolk have
been here from time to time. Tillman's
little nephew, a handsome boy of seven
summers, is staying iu the jail to wait
upon his uncle and is said to be a general
favorite with the prisoners.
Speculation as to the verdict in the
case is almost useless. As stated above,
Mrs. James H. Tillman has relatives iu
the town and also in the country and
people feel much real sympathy for her.
it is doubtful if the same feeling exists in
her husband's case. The belief of almost
all those who have read the newspapers
aud care to express themselves, is that
the act was genuine murder and should
be punished. At the same time it should
be remembered that Senator Tillmau has
always had a large following iu' the
tnk.^AirAM Kin nauKattr^a f/\l 1 TXT inn*
UUUUV) nuaicvc 1 Ills ucpucn a juuuniug
was, and this fact is almost sure to
influence some jur3rmeu.
So far sentiment does not seem to have
crytallized, but it will be a surprise if
Tillman is either acquitted or sentenced
to be hanged as a result of this trial.
Not a few look for a mistrial and then
another application for bail.

are all caused by indigestion. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure is just as good for children
as it is for adults. Children thrive
on it. It keeps their little stomachs sweet
and encourages their growth and development.
Mrs. Henry Carter, 705 Central
Street, Nashville, Tenn.,says: ' My little
boy is now three years old and has been
suffering from indigestion ever since he
was born. I have had the best doctors in
Nashville, but failed to do him any good.
After using one bottle of Kodol he is a
well baby. I recommend it to all sufferers."
Kodol digests what you eat and
makes the stomach sweet. Sold by
Dr. H. F. Hoover.

second entire relief. I can give it unqualified
recommendation." 25c, 50c.,

tin I going to be a boy V "
"Why, never, dear, you are mamma's
ittle girl."
"Ain't I ever going to be a boy ? "
"No, dear; girls can't be boys."
"Willie .Tones was a girl, and now he's
i boy."
"You don't want to be a boy. What
should we dc without our little girl ?"
"Can't God make me a boy?
"No; God will never make you a boy."
Florence walked away thoughtfully,
and that night, when she said her prayers,
she added the petition : "If you can't
make me a boy, then make me a billygoat."

The pure, unadulterated witch hazel is
used in making DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve, which is the best salve in the
world for cuts, burns, bruises, boils,
eczema and piles. The popularity of
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, due to its
many cures, has caused numerous worthless
counterfeits to be placed on the
market. The genuine bears the name ot

Dr. H. F. Hoover.
Potent Pill Pleasnre.
The pills that are potent in their action
and pleasant in effect are DeWitt'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."

Soieide Prevented.
The startling announcement that a preventative

A Barbecue in Lexington.
At a barbecue given over in Lexington
Thursday Senator Tillman was present
and made a speech. Naturally the people -i
expected him to say something about his
free pass experience, but he did not pretend
to make any denial of the fact that
he used them nor did he attempt to explain
how it was that he accepted free J
transportation from railroads. He contented
himself by saying that the whole
thing was an eagerly grasped opportunity
to attack him on part of his enemies,
especially the newspapers, adroitly avoiding
any explanation of his violation of
the law of the State in having passes
"forced" on him. Otherwise the senator
talked on national politics and disagreed
with his colleague, Senator Latimer, on
his scheme to have a large appropriation
from the government for good roads
building because it was impracticable.?

prevented the same way. For sale by ,
