Horrible Find in Walterboro.
4 Walterboro, January 14.?Mr. D. B.
Black, a prominent merchant of our town,
was shocked this morning about 7 o'clock
to find a dog in his backyard tearing to
pieces the form of a white infant. The
dogs had already eaten the head, shoulders
and arms from the child. There is thought
> to be foul play.
Magistrate Bryan began to hold an
inquest to-day; but adjourned with no
developments at the examination. Mr.
Black testified as indicated above.
Dr. W. B. Ackerman says that the
child was fully developed and had been
dead for several days.
Every effort is being made to catch the
guilty parties. The town has appropriated
$100 and the citizens will raise $200.

A Mole That Travels Sunday. '
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

John H. 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

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. '

DEATH OF E. F. 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

Nearly every day we read in the papers

There should be added to the above
about $500 paid out for interest on bor?$?;f;
rowed money. The magistrates and con- g
stables cost the county between $l,?O0^J|jv/f
and $1,800, and yet they only turned in ^
to the county $240.00. ||
However, the statement of expenses
the chain gang will be the most suzpriS-/v^K8
ing thing to some who have been eapedal' ^Bi
ly talkative about the heavy expense^^M i3j
saying that the chain gang was going
bankrupt the county. Not only does, the
dispensary profits pay the entire cost of'^3jrr$
the gang, but leaves a balance over, thus ljj?p
the gang does not cost the county One iv.^fS
cent. It will be noted that the 'expense$|8 -,'J
last year were $3,317.38, but of this amount * | ^
$205.00 was paid out for mules, and this. \
also includes all hardware for the road'^^^
