to expose the tax dodger and the man
who undervalues his property; to bring

K The election on the quest ion of whether
- bogs shall be kept in town or not is being
held to-day^ (Wednesday). The polls
I opened at eight o'clock this morning, and
will close at four this afternoon. As we
go to press at two o'clock the result cannot
be announced in this issue. Nothing
that we can spy now will affect the result
one way or the other,- but we hope the
board of health will not confine their war
to tbe hogs only. There are other things
here^which ai4 against the health of the
town, and they should be looked after.
Hogs are.not fhe only things which create
filth and breed disease and death.

Young Reuben Pitts, a school teacher,
was tried'in Spartanburg last week and
acquitted of the charge of murder. It

several of his larger pupils some months
ago he shot and killed a boy named Eddie
Foster, who was about eighteen years old.
It was a very Sad affair, and while we believe
in strict jdiscipiine in the schoolroom
and have no patience with this newfangled
idea of abolishing corporal punishment
in ourjscbools,- Pitts should havebeen
punished^ He testified on the stand
that he habitually carried, a pistol concealed
oa his persap, and this alone was a
violation of the law of the State.
M. V. Richards, of the Southern Railway,
has written to Governor Hey ward,
suggesting that the banks in the different
towns of the State take up the matter of
raising $35,000>;by subscripiion for the
purpose of having a State exhibit at the
St. Louis Expedition. . There are 185
" banks in the State, and Mr. Richards
KjSr- suggests that they undertake the raising
I . of certain amounts, based on the population
of the counties in which they are
situated. If an^exhibit is to be made at
. . all, this is the only way it should be made:
* ?* V?r?V r\f .nnnrfip it
ivy popiUU SHuavnpiiiuu, uun w? -will
not be done/ Many who clamor so
- strenuously for an exhibit will be found
lacking when it comes to giving up the
cash. We notic^ l^jtthe plan of Mr. Richards
that B&mbeag is expected to raise
1400, but if they.ever try to raise it, it
v will be found ttyat our people are not
hankering after an exhibit/ We gave:
c.; $100 to the Charleston Exposition and it
never did us five1 cents worth of good.
So, no more Expositions in ours for the
present, thank you.

The following clipping from the New

B. Bellinger, Esq^ by a friend of his in
New Orleans, and it will be read with
interest by our people, as it relates to the

of apolitical figure before he left this
country: %
"Honolulu, Sept. 17.?The Republican
party primaries last Saturday afternoon
were more largely attended than any ever!
held before in Hawaii and a larger proportion
of whites than ever before was
sent to the Republican convention, leading
men being choSen.
,*.x "For some weeks the two principal Republican
newspapers of Honolulu have
iterated that it was time for the Republican
party to rid itself of the element that
gave its moral support to embezzlers in
office, and made ccynmon cause with the
home rulers in corrupt measures and in
necking to discredit the Dole administration.
It was argn&l that the inauguration
of the county-system ought to be
~ put into the hands 6f'the best element of
citizens, and it was threatened that if the
Iggpi Republican party did noj offer a ticket
>-. along those lines, a citizen's movement
would be inaugurated. Tbe result was
that the better elemei^ of the community
f took an unwonted interest in the primf
aries. . < t
"One of the most pictujesqne contests
^ of the primary was in the seventh precinct
of the fifth district. Here T. McCants
Stewart, a negro lawyer, sought
Wfyj ' the election of a ticket composed of birnself
and hjh friends,. for the pnrpose of
secnring his own nomination as county
attorney. After a very bitter contest he
was defeated almost two to one. Stewtr
art was formerly a Republican in South
Carolina. Then he frent to New York,
and during the campaign of 1892 he or:
ganized a Democrati&political club among
^ the negroes of New York city, and afterwards
applied to President Cleveland for
appointment as United States district
attorney for New Yog-k. ..
^ "He served a ter^ on the Brooklyn
Board of Education *J)y appointment of
fev.;. Mayor Chapin. In|l895 he became a
Wb&-- Republican again.
"Soon after annexation he came to
Hawaii and since the organization
^ of the territory be has been active in the
?L-; faction which opposed Gov. Dole and
gp aided and abetted tbe^home rulers. Nearly
everywhere throughout this island the
supporters of Gov. Dole were selected as
delegates in the county convention.''
Negro QoestieB in Alabama.
'S/ Montgomery, Ala. September 22.?
The negro question was discussed in the
house today iu a hot debate.
Mr. Wood, of Tuskegee, was bitter in
his criticisms of Washington, aud his
methods, and declared the statement credM*?
ited to Washington that no graduate of
his school had ever been in the chain
^ gang to be au infamous lie.
Mr. Yerner, of Tuscaloosa, in favoring
an appropriation for a negro school in
Montgomery, expressed the opinion that
Alabama owes the negro a debt.

Mr. Crum Not a Candidate.
If the uuluber of candidates for the
three places on the dispensary hoard ot
directors increases between now ami the
assembling of the legislature next January
iu the proportion it has been expanding
in the recent past there will be about
a regiment or more seekers after these
jobs.
Mr. H. H. Crum, the present commissioner,
said yesterday that he had long
ago decided not to offer for re-election.
He 19 now completing his second term.
'What will you offer for?" Mr. Crum
was asked.
"Nothing, for the present; I want to
take a little rest from the burden of my
responsibilities."
Representatives Efird, of Lexington,
and Tatum, of Oraugeburg, are spoken
of as candidates for this place.
The candidates for places on the board
have already begun active campaigns,
mostly in the way of sending out circular
announcements, accompanied by references,
to members of the legislature.
Among those who are spoken of as
being in the contest are: Mr. R. H.
Walker, a member of the house from
i:..
Uarnweil; Kepresemauve uoumm, 01
Williamsburg: Proprietor Humphries, of
the Spartanburg Ion; ex-Senator McDermott,
of Horry; Mr. L. W. Boykin,
of Kershaw, who was a candidate last
time and who was once an inspector of
dispensaries; Capt. W. D. Black, of the
penitentiary guard, and several others.
Whether Messrs. Evans and Williams
will offer for re-election is not known,
but Col. Wilie Jones, who was appointed
to fill the unexpired term of the late Mr
Dukes, will not be a candidate.?Columbia

Oae Boy's Rise to Success.
If you want to know how oue young
man got along iu the world, listen:
Alvah C. Dinkey, at thirty-seven, is
president of the Carnegie Steel company
and holds the most important position in
the steel trade of this couutry, next to
W. E. Corey, president of the United
States Steel company.
At sixteen years of age Dinkey was a
telepranh onerator forCarnenie. He nave

that up aud put ou the leather apron of
au apprentice in order to learn to be a
machinist. It was harder work than
telegraphing, and for a year or so it was
less pay. But this youug man had his
eye on the outcome.
He made a special study of electricity.
He saw how this power could be applied
?n rolling mills. He patented labor saving
devices and was made assistant engineer,
then engineer, superintendent,
president.
An easy climb?
By no means. It was upward through
toil and sweat and grime and the constant
pumping of blood into gray matter.
Dinkey did not spend his money for
glad clothes.
Nor for "high balls."
He spent his time and money building
brains and body and character. And now
at thirty seven years of age he is at the
top and draws a larger salary than the
president of the United States.?Cincinnati

Advertising as au Investment.
Advertising cannot justly be called an
expense, although it is an expense when
ignorantly handled. Advertising is an
investment. Dealers in articles where the
profit is less than 15 per cent, figured per
cent, of their sales as the proper proportion
to be devoted to advertising.
There are lines where the profits run
np as high as 400 per cent. These lines
demand a much higher per cent, devoted
to advertising, as the daily sales amount
to much less than where the profit is
I umollnr
If you ha?e anything to sell, never
allow yourself to argue that there is no
need of advertising. Your friends, even,
after a while, won't ask you if you keep
certain articles.
They become tired of coutinually asking
you what you have in your store aud
gradually drift over to your progressive
competitor who advertises persistently
and continually.
Blew One Breath Too Many.
Anniston, Ala., September 21.?News
reached the city this afternoon of the
death of Charles Williams, a horse trader,
at Jacksonville, as a result of a blow
received a week ago while in a difficulty
with Frank Woods, the 18-year-old sou
of John F. Woods, of that place.
The difficulty was caused, it is claimed
by Williams, who, while in a drunkeu
condition, made himself very obnoxious
by blowing his breath in the faces of the
young men of the town after he had been
eating onions. Woods remarked that if
Williams would blow his breath in his
face he would knock him down.
Williams then advanced on Woods and
repeated the performance and was struck
with a heavy billiard cue twice on the
head, from which he never recovered.
Woods has disappeared.

A Remarkable Record.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a remarkable
record. It has been in use for
over thirty years, during which time
many million bottles have beeu sold and
used. It has long been the standard and
main reliance in the treatment of croup
in thousands of homes, yet during this
time no case has ever been reported to
the manufacturers in which it failed to
effect a cure. When given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even as soon as
the croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. It is pleasant to take, many
children like it. It contains no opium or
other harmful substances, and may be
given as confidently to a baby as to an
adult. For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy.

A Boy's Composition on Parents.
Parents are tilings most boys have to
look after them. Most girls also have 01
parents. Parents consist of Pas and Mas. is'
Pas talk a good deal about what they are vt
going to do, but it's mostly Mas that make di
you miud.
Sometimes it is different tho. Once a 01
boy came home from college on vacation, ai
His parents lived on a farm. There was ti
work to be done on the farm. Work on
the farm always has to be done early in al
the morning. This boy didn't get up. ui
His sister goes to the stairway and calls: is
"Willie,'tis a beautiful morning. Rise n<
and list to the lark." hi
The boy didn't say anything. Then ai
Ma calls: tf
"William, it is time to get up. Your n
breakfast is growing cold." al
The boy kept right on, uot saying any- w
thing. Then his pa puts iu his head in p
the stairway, and says he: S(
"Bill!"
"Coming, sir! " says the boy.
I know a boy that liasu't got any pareuts.
He goes in swimming whenever he d
pleases. But 1 am going to stick to my fi
pareuts. However, I don't tell them so w
'cause they might get it into their head s1
that I could uot get aioug wuuuui mem. e
Says this boy to me: a
"Parents are a nuisance; they aren't n
what they're cracked up to be." ti
Says I to him: C
"Just the same I find 'em handy to e
have. Parents have their failings, of c<
course, like all of us, but on the whole I b
approve of 'em, and I hope good boys will F
continue to have 'em."
Owes His Life to Neighbor's Kindness.
1). P. Dougherty, well known through- ii
out Mercer and Sumner counties, W. \ a., p
most likely owes his life to the kindness n
of a neighbor. He was almost hopeless- ^
ly afflicted with diarrhoea; was attended w
by two physicians who gave him little, if t<
any, relief, when a neighbor brought him si
a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera, h
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which eured him d

- W. H. Harrison, Cleveland, Miss., v
writes, Aug. 15, 1902: "I want to say a a
word of praise for Ballard's Snow Lini- n
ment. I stepped on a nail, which caused fe
the chords in my leg to contract, and an tl
abscess to rise on my knee, and the doc- c
tor told me I would have a stiff leg, so h
one day I went to J. F. Lord's drug store t
(who is now in Denver, Colo.) He recom- fo
mended a bottle of Snow Liniment; I got t
a 50c size, and it cured my leg. It is the c
best liniment in the world."
Abscesses, with few exceptions, are in
dicative of constipation or debility. They
may, however, result from blows, or from
foreign bodies, introduced into the skin ^
or flesh, such as splinters, thorns, etc.

A dispatch from Durham, N. C., says: E
44 Will Strayborn, a young white man, died *
at his home, a few miles from that city,
Saturday uight, of blood poison, brought a
on by the bite of a mosquito. It was two n
weeks ago Saturday that the insect bit
Mr. Stray horn on the little finger. In q
a short while the finger inflamed and then
blood poison set in. Physicians were called a
and decided to amputate his arm, but in j,
the meantime his condition was such that
they were afraid to attempt the operation, j
He lingered until Saturday night and
died in agony." t
A Purgative Pleasure.
If you ever took DeWitt's Little Early
Risers for biliousness or constipation, d
you know what a purgative pleasure is. g
These famous pills cleause the liver and s
rid the system of all bile without produc- E
ing unpleasant effects. They do not a
gripe, sicken or weaken, but give strength n
to the tissues and organs involved. W. c

Risers for constipation, scik headache, c
etc." Sold by Dr. H. F. Hoover. c
A Baptist minister iu a certain vil- $

clergyman?" "Oh, no, sir," she replied;
"the doctor said the case was infectious." b
The Heauine vs. Counterfeits.
The genuine is always better than counterfeits,
but the force of the statement is

PATHS OP THE OCEAN
ORIGIN OF THE LANES TRAVERSFD
BY ATLANTIC LINERS.
The Northern and Sonthern Kootea
to and From Europe, as Indicated
by Lieutenant Maury?Minimizing
the Danger of Collisions.
In reports of the arrival of an ocean
liner the statement sometimes appears
that she came "by the southern route"
to avoid ice or that she made her first
trip of the season "by the northern
lane." To the ordinary reader the idea
of lanes or pathways on what we have
.been taught to think of as "the trackless
sea" seems somewhat paradoxical,
but if you consult the charts in the office
of a steamship manager or in the
United States hydrographic office instead
of the ordinary map you will find that
there are four well defined highways
across the north Atlantic as clearly
marked to the navigator's perception j
as is a time worn turnpike on land to
the eyes of the pedestrian.
! It is over these great ocean thoroughfares
that the Atlantic filers, with their
tens of thousands of passengers and
their hundreds of thousands of tons of
freight, pass on their voyages between
America and Europe. They are closely
adhered to by all fast steam vessels
and Just as carefully avoided by sailing
ships and by the fishermen who ply
their trade off the Grand banks. The
situation of a small craft on the liners'
route would be comparable to that of
a man driving a light runabout along a
railway track cleared for the fast limited,
for these main traveled lines have
been set aside by custom and agreement
for the Atlantic's lightning expresses.
Nobody is delayed at sidings
or confined to special tracks, however,
for the rest of the ocean is left to the
ordinary mariner.
It is only a few years since the tracks
upon which the great liners shall run
have been so clearly defined. Ever since
the commerce of the north Atlantic assumed
important proportions sailing
masters have followed in a general
way the great circle that curves northward
from the west coast of England
and Ireland until it reaches about 46
degrees north latitude in midocean,
A
then bears south westward pu?i ILIC
coast of Newfoundland and Cape Race.
Early experience proved that this was
tbe shortest and so, of course, the
quickest route between Europe and
such ports as Boston, New York and
Philadelphia.
While steam navigators kept fairly
near this course it was natural
enough that they should vary from it
somewhat according to the theories of
individual captains. With the multiplication
of steamships and the rapid increase
in speed the very fact that all
the larger and swifter vessels kept to
one particular part of the ocean greatly
increased the danger of collision between
them. When forty or fifty swift
steamers were crossing the Atlantic at
the same time in one direction or the
other, all keeping to the same general
course irrespective of the direction in
which they were traveling, it was obvious
that the possibility of two of
them coming together in thick weather
was too great to be contemplated pleasantly.
So Lieutenant Maury of the United
States navy made the suggestion that
I all fast steamships should traverse cer
tain fixed routes, which he indicated?
paths following the great circle pretty
closely, for it was natural that the
steamship companies would not agree
to the adoption of any route that involved
a loss of time in making the
ocean passage.
The most important provision suggested
by Lieutenant Maury was that
vessels going in opposite directions
should observe the rules of the road by
passing one another on the port side.
To carry out this plan he proposed that
west bound vessels should! keep about
one degree to the northward of those
east bound. Thus the greatest danger
from the following of indiscriminate
routes?that of collision between fast
ships?would be avoided. While it is
desirable in point of time for ships to
steer their course far to the north, the
presence of ice and fog in the high latitudes
makes it impracticable for them
to do so during fully half the year. Accordingly,
Lieutenant Maury provided
for two great highways, one for summer,
the other for winter, one about
three degrees to the northward of the
other and each with west bound and
east bound tracks.
The rivalry between the different
lines was so great at that time that
each hesitated to give unconditional
adherence to the plan, fearing that
some other would gain an advantage.
Two prominent steamship managers,
however, quickly appreciated the advantages
of Lieutenant Maury's plan
and independently of their competitors
gave instructions to their captains to
follow the lines laid down by him.
These two men were Clement A. Gris
com, then toe bead of the American
line, and Thomas H. Ismay, director ot
the White Star line. As these two lines
then owned the fastest and most perfect
ships on the Atlantic, the influence
of their example was very powerful.
There' is no doubt that the adoption
of these lanes has been of the utmost
Importance in increasing the safety ot
ocean travel and possesses distinct advantages
aside from eliminating the
possibility of head on collisions between
the liners. Extra precautions
are taken to keep the great highway
clear of derelicts and other floating
dangers or to give warning of their
presence.
Since the masters of sailing vessels
know the steamer routes, they consult
their own safety by avoiding them and
hy keeping a sharp lookout whenever
it is necessary to cross them in either
direction. ? New York Mail and Express.
