' The Southern Railway has issued a general order that freight trains must - not run on Sunday between 9 a. m. and 5 p. m. The law forbids such running any time on Sunday until sunset, but it is largely a dead letter. The law and the Southern Railway's order except freight trains carrying perishable products and ? live stock. That kills the law and the order. It is said that the Southern Railway has an old decrepit mule that it employs only to ride up and down the North Carolina Railroad so as to prevent running of Sunday freights contrary to law. The mule has made so many trips that he is said to sway backward and for ward when off the cars, to Keep ume 10 the motion of the running train. If any person should seek to "put the law" to the railroad for running trains on Sunday, they would point to the old, swayback mule and say, "See, we are hauling live stock." As the mule is nearly dead with old age and continuous travel, the question of whether the mnle is really "live stock" might be raised, but as long as he can stand up and be hauled, a jury might say he came within the meaning of "live stock," though not a member of the jury ? would pay $10 for him. A mule is a very convenient animal, and has been used for offensive and defensive warfare, but it remained for the Southern Railway t managers to make the conscience of the mule stand between them and the violaf tion of the law and breaking the Sabbath i * dav.?Raleigh (N.

Cullom, Editor of Garland,Tex., News, has written a letter of congratula* tions to the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as follows: "Sixteen years ago when our first child was a baby he was subject to croupv spells and we would be uneasy about him. We began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it a reliable remedy for colds and croup, have never been without it since that time. We have five children ? and have given it to all of them with good results. One good feature of this remedy is that it is not disagreeable to take and our babies like it. Another is that it is not dangerous, and there is no risk from giving an overdose. I congratulate you upon the success of your remedy." For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy; H. C. Rice, Denmark.

All the farmers in this county should take a firm stand against the raise of price in fertilizers and refuse to sell their cotton seed, as the Beech Island farmers have done. It seems as if the trusts are always ready to rob the farmers in one way or another. If cotton goes up fertilizers as well as other things go up, and it seems ' as if the trusts and other monied sharks have determined never to let the farmers get their heads above water. However, providence has fixed it so that the farmers have the situation in their hands if they c will only take advantage of it. Farmers, come together, and let's protect each c other's interests and plant more grain, * raise our lard, bacon, sugar, flour, syrup, J and such like at home and do not depend on other markets for what we live on.

KINARD. udden Death of One of Bamberg County's Best Citizens. Mr. E. P. Kinard died suddenly at his ome in theEhrhardt section Wednesday ight of last week. His death was sadden nd entirely unexpected. He was in his snal health that morning and was out n his farm with his sons where they were recting a dwelling. He complained of eeling bad and started to the house, but ell at a small branch on the way, where e was found about half an hour after rards. He was carried home and a phyician summoned, but he grew steadily rorse and died about ten o'clock that igbt. Apoplexy is said to be the cause >f his death. The burial took place Thursday afterloon at St. John's Baptist church, of rhich he had been a member and treasirer for many years. Rev. E. W. Peeples eas the officiating minister. Mr. Kinard v&s a member of Buford lodge, A. F. M., md he was buried with Masonic honors. Mr. Einard was one of the prominent nen of his community, and in his death his county loses one of her very best iitizens. He was indeed a good man and Christian. In fact, we have never known i man who had his heart more filled with ove and charity for his neighbor than Francis Einard. He was our good friend, md we feel a deep sense of personal loss n his death. Mr. Einard was born in the same iection where he lived all his life. At the commencement of the war he enlisted as i member of Co. G, 1st 8. C. V., being irst sergeant of his company, and made i gallant and faithful soldier. He was slightly wounded, but we are not informed in what battles. He was. sixty-six pears old. It will be remembered that a little more ;han a ye^r ago his beloved wife passed iway after a very short illness. Now he ias gone to join her in a better and brighter world. Truly a good man, has gone :rom among us. The world was brighter ind better for his having lived in it, and vhat better record can any man leave ,han this. A Tribute to E. F. Kinard. In George Eliot's famous poem, "The legend of Jubal," which makes Cain one >f it's characters, and who was expelled rom the Garden of Eden, and who wanlered Eastward toward Tartary or to Ind, here built a city and founded the arts, ind he alone of all his people knew of Death. He knew of this monster and ried to keep his secret, but one day when ie was an old man, Lameck "in mere ithletic joy" cast a stone and killed his on. All present thought the boy asleep, rat when Father Cain approached he saw ipon this face the pallor he had.seen on Ibel's years ago, and he told his chilIren, his people of Death, the first story >f "the silent reaper" ever uttered by mman lips. Since the day of Cain all mankind know >f death. He comes, he comes. He eaps, he reaps. 3eldom in a little community has the ecret of Cain been a greater shock than rhon if. was Annnnnrftd thatE. F. Kinard vas dead. He was born about 66 years igo, was the sou of Mr. and Mrs. Hans'ord Kinard. At the beginning of the war he entered the Confederate service, contended that the raising of "the black lag," a war emblem meaning, "ask no quarter, grant no quarter," would termiaate the "war sooner than any other measure.. After the war he went to Texas. One year there taught him the true meaning of "Home, Sweet Home." From then his 'till death he lived on his plantatioin in the Salkahatchie Valley ind prospered as the green bay tree by the water's side. He married Miss Pinkie, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Chassereau, and raised a large family of boys and girls. He was a fine planter. When cotton was Sve cents he made money. He told- the writer he made money farming every rear of his life. The needy never left his home empty-handed. He loved his church. In 35 years he missed six services it the church he helped to establish. He | ivas an honored Mason, being a member >f Buford Lodge, A. F. M., and by his jrother Masons was committed to mother ;arth. His pastor and life-long friend, lev. E. W. Peeples, preached his funeral >ration, and an audience of 500 persons vill bear the writer out in saying that eldom such a eulogy is paid to any one. lis remains were laid to rest at sunset Thursday evening, the 14th instant, at he St. John's cemetery.
