Tuesday morning the case of John ^ Love, charged with murder, was taken up. The trial of the case consumed most of the day, and he was found not guilty i after a short deliberation by the jury, This is the case mentioned in this newspaper recently. Love is a white man and war charged with shooting and killing I his brother-in-law, Willie Lucas, at Denmark a few weeks ago. A great many people believe he did the killing, but it is generally conceded that, while the cir cumstanuai eviueuue woa auuuj, m ?> ao not sufficient to convict him. " , Late Tuesday afternoon the case against David Johnson, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, was taken up. This is the case of some person shooting Andrew Bennett on the streets of Midway one night some months * ago, a full account of which has already appeared in this paper. Johnson denies t the shooting, and Bennett and his son testify that they recognized him. The case was finished about noon to-day (Wednesday), and, this being the last criminal case on the docket, the court of general sessions was adjourned and the work on civil cases was commenced that afternoon. The jury found Johnson not guilty. Monday afternoon the grand jury fn ished their labors and were discharged. Following is their 4 r onrcPVTXfrVT r JU^ AiJ ? A * To the Hon.

Watterson Not for Sale. v \ An interesting story is told by Walter ? Wellman, a well known Washington correspondent, in a letter to the Philadelphia Press on March 26, about the Hon. William Randolph Hearst and the efforts he is said to have made to secure the services of Henry W atterson, of the Louisville Cont rier-Journal, to stay in Washington during the present winter and write an oc casional letter to Mr. nearst s newspapers, for which he is said by Mr. Wellman to " have been willing to pay the handsome sum of $25,000. The story is that Mr. Watterson wrote a polite letter to Mr Hearst declining the offer. His declination, however, was not accepted, and Mr. Hearst is said to have written to him again, when Mr. Watterson again declined and suggested that there was no better * reason why he should write for Mr Hearst's papers than why Mr. Bennett or Mr. Laffan, or Mr. Reid, or any other editor should write for them, and that he had better trv them. Mr Hearst still in sisted upon Watterson's services, and then the distinguished Kentucky journalist is said to have written to Mr. Hearst as follows: "Dear sir You haven't enough money in your family, and never will have, to ' induce me to write one line for you." We do not know how much truth there is in the story, but it sounds a little like Mr. Watterson. He has been writing for newspapers for a great many years, and he is not as rich as some other newspaper men in this country, but we do not believe he has ever written a single line for pay in advocacy of any cause which did not meet with the full" approval of his heart and his conscience.?News and Courier. COUGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN. "When you buy a cough medicine for small children you want one in which you can place confidence. You want one that not only relieves but cures. You want one that is harmless. You want one that is pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets all these conditions. There is nothing so good for coughs and colds -> incident to childhood. It is a certain preventive and cure for croup, and there is no danger from whooping cough when it is given. It has been used in epidemics oi that disease with perfect success.

Mr. i Copeland has extensive interests throughout Bamberg, Orangeburg, Barnwell and , Colleton counties, and is one of those ] genial men whose presence is always welcomed in any gathering. 1 When seen yesterday by a representative of the News and Courier and askec about the crop and business conditions in his section of the State Mr. Copeland said ' that they could not be better. Everybody 1 up that way is looking after his respective interests, the merchants are selling goods without any trouble, and the farm- 1 ers are buying a great deal, for the reason that these people are in fine shape, and have no complaint to make. Mr. Copeland said that lands were rapidly being put into first-class shape^ and that, judging by tht past, he could see 1 no reason why the crop made this year would not be as good as that for the pre cediug o ne. In that event the people of ' His county wouia De in nne conaiuon. The labor question in Bamberg county is not the vital question that it is in the upper section of the State and although i the farmers in that section are, of course, i interested in the matter, they are not so i concerned as those in sections where suf' ficient colored help is hard to obtain.?

This article 1 was written for the State: The more I see of freemasonry the : greater I am impressed with the sublimity 1 of its work and teachings, and I advise every young man able to do so to endea r- ' to become initiated into its mysteries upon reaching his majority. It teaches more < religion, love and reverence for God and i inculcates more morality and the practice of brotherly love than all the theology of < the churches, and I am firmly persuaded i that a man who is a freemason, that lives up to its precepts, stands a mighty good chance of entering the kingdom of heaven. The masonic work in this jurisdiction, too, is being now exemplified in a very handsome manner and many accessions are being made to the order. At the meeting of Richland lodge, No. 39, A. F. M., last night the master mason's degree was conferred upon ex-Gov. Daniel H. Chamberlain, of South Carolir a. Gov. Chamberlain was made an entered apprentice and fellow-craft mason in Pythagorean lodge, Charleston, in 1868, and 36 years have passed before his being raised to the sublime degree of a master mason. He was carefully tended during the ceremonies by Maj. James B. Ezell, with one exception the mason of longest standing in Columbia, and by others of the masons, and when low . twelve was announced and the craft was called off from labor to refreshment, the 1 "Puritan and the Cavalier" once again assembled around the board. Mr. Chamberlain is now in his 68th i year and is spending the winter here for his health, the guest of Mr. W. McB. : Sloan. I was printing and voting against Mr. Chamberlain in 1876, and it never seemed likely then that we would ever "meet upon the level and part upon the : square" in a Columbia lodge.

Folk Addresses His Fellow-Democrats in Regard to the Congressional ElectionTo My Fellow-Democrats:?Never before in the history of Bamberg county has an election of more vital importance than the present confronted our people, and while I doubt not that I shall be censured by some for addressing this letter to you, I shall accept the consequences, believing that the exigencies of the occasion justify me and that lam working for the best interests of our country. There > is no question, perhaps, in which our people are more directly interested, or on which they are more thoroughly united, than that of good roads, and now while the national government is seriously discussing the advisability and practicability of making appropriations from the United States treasury for the purpose of building such roads, it is doubly important that we should send a man to congress who is in thorough sympathy with the movement, and who can be depended upon to work intelligently for our interests along this line. No man who will take the trouble to compare the present condition of our public roads with the miserable excuses for such that existed before Senator May^ ?- ? f U/% Cfrtf a f> a? of a UCIU UegULL XllS CiliCCi m luc uiai<; ocuatc can doubt bis ability to plan and to work. Few measures, if any, looking to the betterment of our conditton have become law in South Carolina during the last ten years which do not bear the unmistakable ear marks of his personality. He is a worker who is not afraid to work. It is contrary to the nature of the man to stand still. I confess, with shame, that since the day of reconstruction the second congressional district of South Carolina has obtained less from the national government than any district of which I have knowledge. Beyond a few small appropriations to clean out certain streams have we ever gotten anything? Yet we j have not failed to contribute our full quota towards the expenses of the government. What we want is a man of judgement and ability?a man who will work ?a man who can accomplish results. Senator Mayfield's political record stamps him as such a man. Turn the searchlight of scrutiny upon his political record and it will be found as clean as that of any man?a record of which any one might be proud. ^ 11 - _ Ji a ;i i Uidgeneia anci <a.i&ea nave lumiaucu oar representatives in congress as far back as my memory goes. What have they accomplished for as? Is it not time that another section of the district shoald be given a chance to show what manner of men we have and what we can accomplish? Justice demands that we shoald have a showing. I, as county chairman?the man whom you have placed upon the watch tower, to look out for the interests of our party in Bamberg county?ask that, on the day of the primary, you lay aside personal differ? anri cm nnt t.n vnnr noils and cast >V>VUV?? ?- O" ? ? * J [ your vote for the best interests of our country. No man can be a good citizen and neglect this duty. Remember ths.t no nten can be a man of action?a man of progress?a man of results, who does not trample upon the toes of those who oppose. The man who makes it his aim to please everybody?be they right or be they wrong?is a miserable failure as a leader, and, for my part, I prefer a man who might sometimes make a mistake to one who fears to act lest he should displease some one. Mayfield fears to act on account of no man. Therefore I urge you to vote for Mayfield for congress, and if he is elected I predict that the second congressional district will sooa receive that recognition from the government that she justly deserves.

"Turn right over and go to sleep!" commanded Mrs. Smith. "You are a naughty boy to wake mother up when she put a pitcher of water on your table the very last thing before you went to bed." Ten minutes later the small voice popped up again: "Mother, I want a drink of water. "Peterson," said Mrs. Smith, sternly, "if you say thai; again I shall get up and spank you!" There was five minutes' silence and again Peterson spoke: "Mother," he said cheerfully, "when you get up to spank me, may 1 have a drink of water?" ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver, of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in awful condition. My skin was yellow, my eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appe tite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my joy, the first bottle made decided improvement. I continued their use three weeks, and am now well. I know they robbed the grave of another victim."

If the rest of our farmers would adopt Mr. Ritter's plan, they would get their pindars shelled more willingly.
