IMS. ; - * ? w >. : 1 ' ?: Our neighbor, the Orangeburg Times and Democrat, comes to us this week enlarged to an eight-page, seven-column paper, neatly printed on its fine, new press. Congratulations on your prosperity, Brother Sims. r; * I 'f * * The Johnston News issued this week a very creditable industrial edition, printed in two colors. The mechanical part of the edition is indeed creditable, and the press work is very good, while the matter of the paper seems to be well gotten up. Columbia is getting to be a union-ridden city, and unless the business men of that place stand together and put down unionism the growth of the city will be very much retarded. No trust or combination is so blind or unreasoning as organized labor, neither can anything compare with the unions for lawlessness and a reckless disregard of the rights of others. Without commenting on the issue now before a legal tribunal of this State, it is eminently proper that notice be taken of I recent events in juuiuary uuuics. * uaor bly many are of the opinion that every advantage ^iould be takeu in an affair lor legal settlement, and this is true in one sense. But if it is to come to a condition where the integrity of our tribuv; nais is questioned, what hope has any man before the courts? Others doubtless do not view these matters as we do, but we have no hesitancy in saying that no - happening in recent years has so impressed us. It may come that our position will be that where our life or liberty is at stake, or that of some other man, ^ ~ who is forced by circumstances to violate * law. If we put ourselves in the position of the prisoner at the bar, or vice versa, p? : the idea of losing confidence in the trial " court is little short of appalling. If certain things can be done at one time, it is only reasonable to suppose that they can be done again. God preserve the purity \ of our courts! ?mmm His Second Thought. Back in the good old days when nerves and railroads were little known an old stage road ran from Lake Champlain to Ogdensburg, N. Y., passing through the little tnwn of Sodom. This villacre uest . led in a valley between two great bills, over which the white ribbon of the road wound steeply. Upon one of the trips of the stage the regular driver, who had been at home for some weeks recovering from an illness, was riding inside, while the red-haired, mild featured, big boned Irishman acting as his substitute occupied the driver's seat upon the box. The day was a beautiful one, and the passengers were enjoying their drive keenly, their appetites increasing as the distance lessened between ; them and the town of Sodom, with its - promised pause for refreshment. Suddenly as the heavy stage lumbered over the brow of the hill, down which the road plunged at a sharp, angle, runningthrough the little town at its foot and ascending the hill beyond, the passengers became conscious that their pace had been recklessly increased. Faster and faster they went, dashing down the hill at a rate rapidly becoming a furious one. Trees and bushes at last became but a dizzying blur along the road. All clung to the reeling stage and held their breath in terror, while on the stage raced, down the hill with ever increasing speed, into the town, past the hostelry with the waiting host left standing in amaze at the door, past the postoffice without pause and out upon the road leading up the face of the hill beyond. There the pace slackened, and as the incline grew more steep at last the smoking horses came to a standstill. With one accord the dazed passengers tumbled out and surrounded the driver, who now stood at the head of his TMlinor lMi/fora "What is it, Pat? What is it? Did '~~1hey get away from you?" came the ques' tiopfl, |L "Nope," replied Pat with a set face. I MIt wor that," pointing grimly before him. * There lay the stage tongue dragging uselessly on the ground at the heels of the horses and completely severed from the t coach. At a glance the regular-driver comprehended the meaning of the danger to which the passengers of that stage, deprived of its sole means of guidance, had Deen exposed, and realizing the miracle of their escape, he turned sick and fainted where he stood. Later, back at the inn, when the excitement had somewhat subsided and fresh horses were being put to the repaired coach, some one turned to Pat and asked: "Pat, what was your first thought when the jpole dropped?" "Well, sor," he answered, settling the squid more comfortably in his cheek, 'me EbP^; .. furst thought wor, 'Lord hab mercy on our sowls!' Then thinks I to meself, 'ConHf found a horse that can't outrun a wagon!' and I licked the poor bastes all the way j down the hill!"?Lippincott's. Legal Blanks.

Mrs. Lizzie Machinski's husband made this remark to her, says The New York Herald, after she had objected to the way he had spread the color on an apartment house recently built by him in Jersey City Heights. She at once adopted his* suggestion. On Sunday she donned a pair of trousers, and, leaving him to cook dinner, climbed the ladder, paint brush in hand, and set to work. In about two hours a voice from the kitchen shouted "Dinner is ready!" and Mrs. Machinski clambered down for a short rest. She could not resist the temptation to make remarks about the way "mother used to cook potatoes," but her husband took her chaff good-naturedly. Back to the ladder she went and continued work until the entire rear -of the house bad been changed to a nile green. Then she quit. Her feat occasioned great merriment about the neighborhood. Why He Died Rich. "Anybody cau make money, but it takes i philosopher to save it," observes Bent Murdoch. Not long ago an old friend of nine died, leaving a barrel of money, recording to an exchange. He lay awake nights thinking up schemes to save money. I remember one of his habits of icouomy. He had a house full of chiljren?ten or a dozen. It cost considerable to feed them. The old man evolved i scheme to cut down grub expenses. He would say to his children in the eveniug, Now, how many of you will take a nickel and go to bed without supper?' They all took nickels and went to bed hungry. The next morning the old man would say: 'Now children, vou all look hungry. How many of you will give me a nickel for a nice, hot breakfast,' and, of course they would all cough up their nickels. The old man simply saved the cost of the children's supper This is just one of the little schemes he evolved to save money. He had others. That's why he died rich." The Best Doctor. Rev. B. C. Horton. Sulphur Springs, Tex., writes, July 19,1899: "I have used Ballard's Snow Liniment and Horehound Syrup, and thev have proved certainly satisfactory.

Wise Fathers. Everyone knows of the college student who, when he was "hard up" sent houie a set of verses to which the governor replied in kind. The son penned : The rose is red, The violet is blue, Send rae fifty P. D. Q. This was the reply: The rose is red, And sometimes pink, I'll send you fifty, I don't think. Another father was looking over his son's account, when he discovered an item he did not quite understand. "flm," he said, "thirty dollars for tenuis; isn't that rather a large sum for such a game? How do you explain it, sir?" "Oh," replied the hopeful, carelessly waving his hand, "that was just for a couple of rackets." "Why not call them bats?" asked the knowing father. Cares Winter Cough. .T E Onver Iftl N. Main St.. Ottawa. Kan., writes: "Every fall it has been my wife's trouble to catch a severe cold, and therefore to cough all winter. Last fall I got for her a bottle of Horehound Syrup. She used it and has been able to sleep soundly all night long.

Cox, of Wake, Ark., writes: "For 12 years I suffered from yellow jaundice. I consulted numbers of physicians and tried all sorts of medicines, but got no relief. Then I began the use of Electric Bitters and feel that I am now cured of a disease that had me in its grasp for twelve years."

At the big gathering of colored Baptists in Philadelphia, Dr. Joseph Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist College, called on his race to "imitate the white man and imbibe something of the American spirit of enterprise and push."

I had dyspepsia in its worst form and felt miserable most all the time. Did not enjoy eating until after 1 used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which has completely cured me.?Mrs. W. W. Saylor, Hilliard, Pa.

It was Cut. A blusteriug, self-important gentleman walked into a barber shop at Peck and wanted his hair cut. He didn't want any talk, just a plain hair cut, and he wanted it right away. The modest and unpretilrl tfpntlpman in thr? short at 0~ ?*r-w ?w ? r ^" tempted to explain, but was roughly told to go ahead without a word. After the job was finished the man who knew everything looked in the glass and was horrified at his appearance. He fairly stormed around, and indignantly asked the old man if he called that a hair cut. The mild old mau meekly replied: "I don't know. You must ask the barber. He'll be in presently. I am the editor of the village paper, and was waiting for a hair cut myself, but you wouldn't give me a chance to explain." The Salve That Heals Without leaving a scar is DeWitt's.

For sale , by Bamberg Pharmacy, and H. C. Rice, \ Denmark. One of the meanest creatures that lives, 1 is a human being that does you some personal wrong and then proceeds to hate you because he has wronged you. Yet, it is the nature of a depraved brute to maltreat a fellow being and then vent the spite of his depraved nature upon him. The reason for this perhaps lies in the fact that even in the degraded wretch, the voice of conscience is still heard, and this effort to injure one who has been wronged is an effort to drown this same voice of conscience. Do Good?It Pays. A Chicago man has observed that, "Good deeds are better than real estate deeds?some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly and gently, show sympathy and lend a helping hand You cannot possibly lose by it." Most men appreciaie a kind word and encouragement more than substantial help. There are persons in this community who might truthfully say: "My good friend, cheer up. A few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold, and there is no danger whatever from pneumonia when you use that medicine. It always cures. I know it for it has helped me out many a time." Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy, and H. C. Rice, Denmark. Tirst Aid.

It is said of John Wesley that he once said to Mrs. Wesley: ."Why do you tell that chill the same thing over and over again?" "John Wesley, because once telling is not enough." It is for this same reason that you are told again and again that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cures colds and grip; that it counteracts any tendency of these diseases to result in pneumonia; and that it is pleasant and safe to take.

Dieting Invites Disease. To cure dyspepsia or indigestion it is no longer necessary to live on milk and toast. Starvation produces such weakness that the whole system becomes an easy prey to disease. Kydol Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach and digestive organs to digest and assimilate all of the wholesome food that one cares to eat, . and is a never-failing cure for indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. Kodol digests what you eat?makes the stomach sweet. Sold by H. F. Hoover. Modem Education. A small girl who has just begun to attend school brought home a pumpkin seed and told her mother that the teacher said that, although the seed was white, the pumpkin would be yellow.

"But," said the mother, "you know, dear, for we have pumpkin vines in our garden." "Of course I do, but we ain't expected to know anything until we are taught." Saved Dis Life. J. W.

Wowly Sjrayatkf, Hot Iatelketm* mUtr, Counts mt Lut "I got another glimpse of the 'eternal feminine* recently," says a Washington physician, "and 1 shall never again express surprise that men of admitted intellect should marry women who are not their mental equals. Among my patients for the last few weeks?in fact, until he died?was a man of remarkable ability and character. The ease had been in the hands of another doctor, and when I took charge I saw that there was little hope of recovery. The illness was complicated and, I will confess, difficult of diagnosis, and it was not until shortly before the fatal termination that all the symptoms developed. "Tho ru?Hint's wlfp wan a little WO man whom one could best describe by the term 'sweet.' I never saw greater devotion displayed in the sick room. Her anxiety was pathetic, her watchful care unceasing, and I grew to look up to her. But I never could explain to her just what was the matter with her husband, although after I really found out I made the most perspiring efforts to do so. " 'How Is he today, doctor? she would say in the most pathetic fashion. The first time she put the Query I went into details by way of explanation. "The danger from pneumonia has diminished to a certain extent/ I said, but from the heart action I notice certain symptoms of carditis which give very little grounds for hope.' Then I would continue to explain the trend of the disease so simply, I thought, that a child could understand it. When I concluded she nodded intelligently and said in a manner so pathetically sweet that my heart went out to her: "T understand. But, doctor, how do you think he is? "I groaned inwardly and made some reply, holding out little hope, and never again attempted to go into detail. But as I watched her during the trying days until the end came I forgot all about her failure to comprehend my eixplanation. I forgot everything, in tiwt PTeent that I was a witness of that wonderful depth of affection of which the feminine nature alone is capable, and it would hare made no difference to me if she had not been able to say her alphabet I honored her as my equal if not my superior."?Washington Post.

Broke Demerit Record. Washington, Sept. 25.?Einmett Chatham Wilson of Savannali, Ga., is a youth who will be handed down in military history as having broken all previous records for rapid transit through the United States Military Academy at West Point. Young Wilson was appointed a cadet by Representative Rufus Lester of the Savannah district. He entered West Point June 15, 1903, and terminated his connection with that institution, upon the re commendation of the academic board, August 18 following. In that brief period Cadet Wilson had charged against him 110 demerits for misconduct aud iuefiiciency. Such a record has never before been equaled in the existence of the military academy. It is rendered almost sensational by the statement of the academic authorities that it is not customary to give demerits to a cadet during his first mouth at the academy and it is the practice to be reasonably lenient with him during the second month. It appears that nearly all of the demerits given Master Wilson, more than enough to necessitate his discharge from the academy, were piled up within a single month. If Representative Lester, who has been notified of young Wilson's failure should reappoint him, he can enter the academy again with the consent of the board which expelled him. It is not usual to disclose the nature of the offenses committed by cadets in such cases, hence the record is made up with the simple statement, "Dropped for inefficiency." Saves Two From Death.

Saluda, Septenil>er 22.?Anent the James H. Tillman trial, there is a very curious story today being told here. Who started it; why it was started, and whether it has any foundation orw the fabrication of some fertile mind, your correspondent knows not. It is simply given ' as it was picked up on the streets here today. As the story goes it is as follows: Just after the jury for the first and second week for Lexington county was drawn and their names published, a party appeared in that county in the guise of an agent for a picture-enlarging establishment somewhere. He made it his business to call upon each and every juror who had been drawn and solicited some work. In order to show the character of the work done by the house he represented he produced as samples enlarged pictures of well known South Caroliniansseveral of them?and finally would hold up one of James H. Tillman, with the remark, "I suppose you at once recoguize this likeness?" or something of the kind. Then the unsuspecting person addressed would remark, "Yes, that is Jim Tillman," or "Col. Tillman, who killed Gonzales," etc, and if the juror were given to talking he would say thus and so about the case and whether he ought or yught not to be convicted, etc, etc. The agent would show no signs of interest, but, so the story contiuues, would know just how the party approached felt and stood on the matter, and after learniug would jot down the statements made to him for future reference. As stated at the outset, it is not known who originated the story or where it originated. It is being told, however, just about as we have given it. Aud all who hear it, as well as those who repeat it, are wondering whether it is true in part aud false in part, or whether it is true or false altogether. At any rate, it is a strange story, but not more than its f origin. To see the best stock of buggies, wagons, and harness visit G. Frank Bamberg's place.

" In consulting with my druggist he ad* vised McElree's Wine of Lsrdufand Tiledford's Black-Draught, and so I took it and have every reason to thank him for a new life opened up to me with restored health, and it only took three months to cure me." Wine of Cardui is a regulator of the menstrual functions and is a most astonishing tonic for women. It cures scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irregular and painful menstruation, falling of the womb, whites and flooding. It is helpful when approaching womanhood, during- pregnancy, after childbirth and in change of life. It freauently brings a dear baby to homes lat have been barren for years. All druggists have $1.00 bottles of Wine of Cardui. WINEo'CABPUl ??? # G. Moye Dickinson, T\r&TTT> A XWl? 11T O UU, FIRE, LIFE, TORNADO, ACCIDENT, LIABILITY, CASUALTY.
