It H^^^does not reflect the sentiment of South ' Carolina by any mauner of means. * * Y G. Duncan Bellinger has won the regard of many by the faithful and fearless manner in which he discharged his trying duties as attorney for the prosecution during the Tillman trial. His conduct durBfc. ing the entire case was admirable, and yet y|c be was handicapped by the most trying |!v obstacles. ^ \ # * We congratulate our old home, BenHP nettsville, on getting out of the clutches of the Atlantic Coast Line. Their new railroad from that town to Cheraw was |fc. inspected and received last week by the ||> railroad commission. This road is a monument to local enterprise, Bennettsville's leading business men having built ?t. in conversation witn uommissioner Hfl^BGt&rris he spoke in high terms of the publie spirit of the citizens of that town and of the great strides it was making along gjp*; the line of progress because of their good work. 4--'^ * It is not surprising that the newspapers all over the country hare discussed and H^^^oademued the verdict of not guilty in H^HBhe case of J. H. Tillman. They have a ^^^H^feBpnal interest in the case, for one of number was ruthlessly slain because Bhis exposure of a man who offered for public position. As editors are only human, it is not to be wondered at thai thev make mistakes, but a larro maioritv ire actuated in their editorial course by what they conceive to be the best interests t of their State and community. Therefore, P"~r when an editor is shot down on account of his public utterances, the newspapers Jfr. have a right and it is their duty to discuss - the result of the trial. The verdict at Lexington last week k. was expected by this writer, therefore we shall say very little about it. While we i0\ knew it was a cowardly murder, we felt sure, in the light of events transpiring . during the past few months, that justice would not be done. We are'not surprisbut the verdict of that Lexington jury not make the crime of J. H. Tillman the less a cowardly assassination, and bear with him all his days the Hp0^^onsciousness that he cruelly murdered W~* an unarmed man. While it is true that J his hand fired the fatal shot, still there are others more to be condemned than he, / a poor, pliant tool. If J. H. Tillman had been left to go his own way be would IkAVYA L *11 XT /I , \ n q tl ] ?XC3 T^llt rUCTCi uATC M11CU 11. U. UimtOiW. khose who continually urged him to commit the act are the most to blame. The consciences of the jury and the attorneys for the defense will not rest easy after their part in this farcical trial. ^ Editor in Court Editor J. W. Shelor, of the Keowee L . Conner, was among the attorneys in L Court last week, and during his stay iu |h town he made a call at the Press and Banner office, where he was gladly welHB|^^omed. The Keowee Courier is one of newspapers in the State, but we that we had been thinking of the Courier and the Bamberg account for the frequent absence ^^H^^flBKrials in these papers. The Bam^Hfl^^Mnierald and the Keowee Courier are class when thev have editorials. And r editors who can famish as good editorials as these papersoften contain, should be called to the bar of the State Press Association to account for omissions.?Abbeville Press and Banner. So far as The Bamberg Herald is concerned, we will admit that during the past few weeks the amonut of editorial matter it has contained has been very HB^little and the quality rather poor. But, Bro. Wilson, our excuse is ample. Fact is^e have two good' reasons: In the f first'place our job printing department " has kept everybody in the office, from proprietor to "devil," on the run for the past month or more. Even with extra help we could not begin to cope with the rush of business, although we all worked ^ day and night. Then the presence of a ^^^^^baby'boy at our home, who is nearly ^^^Hferee weeks old at this writing, is, to say least, somewhat diverting, especially so when it is the first son. We feel sure that Bro. Wilson will agree that theabove HP facts fully excuse the absence of editorial? in The Herald for the past few weeks. Death of Mr. G. D. Tillman. Clark's Hill, October 20.?Mr. George D. Tillman, aged 23 years, youngest son of the late Hon. George D. Tillman, died at Ins borne Here at 7 ocioca to-nignt. ae P attended the Citadel Academy at Charleston, and was one of the most popular students in his class. He was Court stenographer of the 3rd judicial circuit for a number of years aud colonel ou Governor McSweeney's staff. All of his immediate family were with him when he passed away, except Judge and Mrs. O. W. Buchanan, who were detained in Winnsboro on account of a sick child, who has typhoid fever. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at this place, after which his body will be interred beside the grave of his father. Some of the daily papers had an acj^/ count last week of an alleged fight at Wagener between Messrs. Matt Gunter and J. E. Busbee in which Mr. Busbee suffered the cutting out of his tongue. The trouble was reported to have been caused by discussion over the Tillman verdict. The only trouble between these n>rt nrontlompn h'qc Ihftt nnhli?hw) in th#? ?"w r-?

St-rv Dog Knew His Business. A certain office-bolder decided to buy a dog. In reply to his advertisement a man called at his office with an intelligent looking animal, that he immediately took a fancy to, though he deemed it advisable to llrst inquire into something of its characteristics. 'What can he do?" he asked. "Oh, sir, he can do anything. If you've lost anything, sir, he'll go direct to the place where you lost it. He'll?." "By the way, I've just missed my glove, do you s'pose he can find it?" "Certainly, sir. Just let him sniff at your hand." The office-holder held his hand to the dog's nose and the animal trotted serenely off. Presently he returned, and with a joyous wagging of the tail, deposited his offering at the office-holder's feet. At the same moment the click of the typewriter in the next room ceased. A girlish form appeared in the doorway. "My sash ribbon," cried a high sweet voice, "my sash ribbon! The dog has my aash ribbon!" The office-holder's face turned a dull red. He cast a furtive glance at the man, dived into bis pocket aiid hauled out a bill. "I guess the dog'll do," he said quietly. A Tarheel Sensation. Charlotte, N. G\, October 19.?A special from Kinston, N. C., to the ObIserver, says: A sensatioual shooting | affair occurred eighteen miles from here I this afternoon, iu which Mrs. Richard Ward, the divorced wife of Cook E. Stroud, exchanged shots with him, both being injured. Mrs. Ward, whose husband is in the Government service in Philadelphia, was visiting here, and went to the home of her former husbaud. Stroud, from whom she was divorced two years ago. She demanded possession of her children. Stroud refused to give them up. A quarrel ensued, when both shot at each other. The woman says Stroud shot first. Mrs. Ward fled after the first exchange of shots. Stroud, it is said, pursued her, and fired at her with a shotguu. The shot took effect in her face and bosom. Neither Mrs. Ward nor Stroud is dangerously wounded. A Care for Dyspepsia. I had "dyspepsia in its worst form and felt miserable most all the time.

Editor in Trouble. Harry Snyder, the editor of the Shepherdstown (W. Ya.) Register, and one of the mainstays of the Morgan Grove fair, who served as manager of the baby show at the recent fair, is thoroughly discouraged at his efforts to run the show. He says in his paper: "The editor will refuse to serve as manager of the Morgau Grove baby show next year. As a result of the choice of the successful contestants last Friday seventeen persons threatened to discontinue their subscriptions. Twenty-two parents, eighteen grandparents, fortyseven aunts, sixty-six first cousins, and several hundred collateral relations are deeply offended and vow vengeance on the manager. The judges, who are really responsible for the trouble, are all strangers and have left towr, and we have to stand the trouble alone. No; we will never be manager again?unless enough prizes to go all arouua are given. Raa a 10-Peiaj Nail Thro' His HandWhile opening a box, J. C. Mount, of Three Mile Bay, N.

To my surprise it removed all paiu and soreness and the injured parts were soon healed." For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy, and H. C. Rice, Denmark. Probably the most unique case ever appealed to the supreme court of Iowa, will come up for a hearing at the October term, says an Iowa Falls letter. The case involves the characters of a city mayor, bloodhounds, a chicken roost, the chief of police, the deacon of a Methodist church and sundry others. J. W. McCturg is a deacon in the Methodist church at Valley Junction, a small place in Polk county, and the owner of a tine flock of fowls. It appears a neighbor had lost some of his chickens and an appeal was mwtp t.n the authorities of an adioinini: city to track the thief with bloodhounds. Several scents were followed but lost, and the hounds were again and again taken back for a new cast. Finally they struck a strong scent and traced it to the deacon's chicken house. The officers, confident that the missing fowls had been located, forced open the chicken coop, but failed to find the stolen property. Deacon McClurg brought action against the city officials, including the mayor, the chief of police and sundry municipal magistrates, and claimed $20,000 damages. The lower court failed to find in the deacon's favor, and so this appeal is taken to the higher court in hopes of securing justice. Chtcs Chills and Fever. G. W.

Davenport, Wingo, Ky., writes, June 14,1902: "I want to tell you I believe Ballard's Snow Liniment saved my life. I was under treatment of two doctors, aud they told me one of my lungs was entirely gone, and the other badly affected. I also had a lump in my side. I don't think that I could have lived over two months longer. I was induced by a friend to try Ballard's Snow Liniment. The lirst application gave me great relief; two 50c bottles cured me sound aud well. It is a wonderful medicine; I recommend it to suffering humanity. 25c, 50c, $1.00. Sold by Dr. H. F. Hoover, Bamberg, The acquittal of Tillman in South Carolina of the murder pf Editor Gonzales does not give a very high idea of the majesty of law and justice in that ancient Commonwealth. The explanation made is that the prosecution took on a political character, and therefore no other result was to be expected. The Tillman on trial had been lieutenant governor of the State, and is a nephew of the more famous United States senator. The killing of Gonzales was cold-blooded, deliberate and treacherous murder, and nothing else can be made of it. The only defense attempted was that there was bitter and revengeful feeling between the two men, and if Tillman had not shot his enemy he would have been shot by that enemy. The proof of this was of the flimsiest character and merited no consideration. The Tillmaus of South Carolina have not added much to the peace, comfort or enjoyment of American life. Men who . oppose them in politics in their 'own state do as at the peril of their lives, a condition appropriate to a state of savagery, but having no part in a civilized or Christian community.?Pittsburg (Pa.)

FRUITS AND FLOWERS. Rolling ground is the best for an orchard. Blighted leaves and branches on fruit trees should be cut off and burned. That a tree does not bear well every fear is not an indication of disease. Most effective pruning is done in the early stages of the orchard's growth. One advantage in pruning during the gummer is that the wounds heal very quickly. Dead branches are often the means of conveying decay to an otherwise healthy trunk. In pruning roses cutting back closely produces, as a rule, fewer blossoms, but of a finer quality. Never prune a tree unless there is good reason why a limb or branch Bhould be taken off. A moderately heavy soil that has been underdrained and subsoiled and then carefully worked is capable of producing the heaviest crops of fruit Deception* of Wild Bird*.

A small party of gentlemen, most all of whom had tinges of sporting proclivities in their blood, were discussing the subject of chicken fighting. An old farmer from Rappahannock county, Va., broke into the conversation. "Gentlemen," said he, "in my time 1 have seen some bang up chicken fights, but the greatest fight I ever saw between birds in all my born days was a eontest between a bald eagle and a gray eagle near my old place in Rappahannock. "This fight took place on the bank of the river. I couldn't forget it if I lived to be as old as Methuselah. I was the only spectator and saw the struggle from start to finish. The bald eagle had caught a musk rat and was about to eat it for breakfast when the gray eagle soared down and attempted to rob the other one of Its prey. Then commenced the combat, and, Lord, how the feathers fiew! They fought with wings, beaks and talons, and I could hear the talons crack when they struck and tore each other. The sounds made by their wings as they buffeted one another were like explosions of musketry, while their screams and yells sounded demoniacal. The battle lasted fully fifteen minutes and wound up with a victory for old baldy, who drove the gray eagle away and then resumed his interrupted breakfast. "Oh, yes, there are a great many eagles up in my part of the state," said the old agriculturist in reply to a question. "There are plenty of high rocks and lofty trees whereon they build their nests. We farmers do not give them any latitude, however. Whenever one of these big birds is seen soaring about the poultry yard, or, in fact, anywhere about the farm, if s 'Johnnie, get your gun,' because it not infrequently happens that good sized chickens, young lumbs or little pigs are carried away by them, so they're very unwelcome visitors."?Washington Star. YACHT RACING. Tkls Expensive Sport Vu Beffam In England In 1602. Though vessels answering to the character of yachts were in use by royal personages from an early dateQueen Elizabeth, for instance, bad one built at Cowes, Isle of Wight, in 1588? the word "yacht" was not used untii the year 1600, when the Dutch presented a "Jacht" named the Mary to Charles II., says the Loudon Chronicle. In Evelyn's Diary, under Oct. 1, Hio ontn' "T Mllpd this 1W1, tUV , . ? morning with his majesty in one of his yachts, vessels not known among us till the Dutch East India company presented that curious piece to the king, being very excellent sailing vessels." Yacht racing commenced in 1CG2, when Charles II., who had some yachts built for him by Sir Phineas Pett, wagered $500 that a yacht of his would beat a Dutch one owned by his brother, the Duke of York, afterward James II. But the growth of yacht sailing was slow, and it is not until 1720 that an authentic record of a yacht club is found, in which year the Cork Harbor Water club, now known as the Royal Cork Yacht club, was formed. In 1812 a similar club, the Yacht club, was formed at Cowes by some fifty yachtsmen. This club in 1820 attracted the notice of the Duke of Clarence, afterward William IV., when its title was altered to the Royal Yacht squadron, Cowes. Fourteen years later William IV. presented the first royal cup to this club. But in 1851 only 500 yachts were in existence. Since the international yacht race of that year the increase in the number has been immense. In America, the Chronicle says, "the sport may be said to have commenced in 1814, in which year the New York Yacht club was formed, and the history of that club is practically the history of American yachting.'* Kaew Hia Buiaeu.
