One Dollar a Year | IN THE PALMETTO STATE. ? * y INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. ^ State News Boiled Down for Quick Reading i; Pungent Paragraphs About Men e ^ and Happenings. 1 ^ The banks of Columbia will soon or- i ganize a clearing house association. 1 The Bishopville New Era announces ? that it will suspend publication. It's life was short, only thirteen weeks. The cause ^ of suspension is not stated. Sumter's fall festival is to be held November 22nd to 2oth, and its promoters a ^ say it will be a great affair?one of the a ^ best ever held in the State. ^ It is said that a handful of sulphur scat- p a q Irvort nf onrn a<; nnt in the r5 ktiVU n iv/uu v*. w*?* v.- v crib will drive rats away and keep them j ^ off until the last bushel is gone. i j The Republicans have nominated can- < * didates in five out of the seven congres- ? sional districts in the State. This is all ^ . a farce, but they hope to be first at the pie "< counter. < J The Republicans of the second conjjr gressional district met at Blackville last Wednesday and nominated Rev. Isaac Myers, a negro preacher of Black\*ille, for congress. Ben Bennett's attorneys gave notice of t appeal in his case, but later withdrew it ( and he has requested that he be allowed to serve his sentence of five years on the j chain gang. , The railroad commission has instructed j \ the attorney general to bring suit against i the Atlantic Coast Line to compel that 1 * railroad to stop its fast trains at Latta in c Marion county. i A white man named Bert Gregory, a J cotton mill operative, is in jail at Union t charged with the murder of his wife. It t is claimed he gave her strychnine, claim- t ing it was calomel. t - r -A negro child was burned to death and v the house destroyed by fire in Newberry county last week, by pouring kerosene oil on the fire. The two other children in the house escaped. A little three-year-old child was burned ^ to death at Graniteville last week while g . paying with matches. He.and ah older brother were exploding matches with a popgun, and when found his clothing were * a mass of flames. ( A lightning rod man fell from a house ( 5 in Salud,a last week. He was putting a t lightning rod on the roof and fell head t , foremost to the ground 24 feet below, but * was not killed. Lightning rod men and \ book agents are hard to kill. H. Clyde Briggs, a machinist, was killed in the Pacolet cotton mills last Wednesday. He was caught in' the rope of the c big driving wheel and knocked violently ^ ' against the wheel, mashing his head and ^ j, shoulders. He was instantly killed. 8 On last Saturday night at Lucknow, r in Kershaw county, in a row between a 1 - I \ white man and two negroes, one 01 me negroes was killed by the white man and (' the white man was struck over the head : . with a heavy stick and killed by one of * the negroes. , >] Edward Kelly, a white man, shot and killed Henry Bradshaw, a negro, in Dar- ? lington last Saturday. The report of one \ daily paper makes the killing justifiable, ? while the other report makes it a case of j killing in cold blood. The shooting oc- s curred on the streets of Darlington. 1 H. N. McCarley, a white man, was kill- i ed at a ginnery in Whitmire, Newberry 1 county, last Friday. He was fixing some- 1 thing about the press when a box con- \ taining weights to the amount of 250 t ^ pounds dropped on his head, fracturing * his skull. He lived a short while after i the accident. 1 Ben Bennett was tried in Hampton last 1 week for the murder of his wife. The ( jury found him guilty of manslaughter 3 and recommended him to the mercy of the 3 court. Judge Klugh sentenced him to five s years imprisonment in the penitentiary. 3 In view of this verdict and sentence, it is ( not likely that the case against him for J violating his pardon will be pressed. E Mr. Goldsmith Thompson, a wellknown young man and a son of Judge O. G. .l Thompson, committed suicide at the home of his father, five miles south of the city of Laurens, last Monday night by shooting ^ himself through the head with a revolver. He occupied a room alone and upon in- * ?the startling report of' S Y CObigauvu %* ? w the pistol at 1 o'clock at night, a member I ? of the family found the young man in his 11 bed in an unconscious condition with a e wound in his right temple. Dr. A. J. Christopher of the city was hastily summoned, but the wounded man never rallied and died shortly before 5 o'clock this morning. He had been in ill health some time ana had become despondent, a fact that is attributed as the cause of his act. He was about 32 years old and unmarried, i Last Appeal. t Friday, the 14th, is the day the excursion will run from Barnwell to Sumter, f This train is strictly for education, and I hope that all friends of education will take in the trip and help the good cause, d The train is now paid for, and let all j r buy their tickets at once and save the ex- J tra fee.

"Work Day" Offering for Epworth Orphanage, We have planned to have a "work day" >ffering in favor of the Epworth Orphanige, on Oct. the 20th, inst. We desire to * - ?m i.. j lave as many people as win 10 uuuaie heir earnings of that day to the support )f the Orphanage. There are thousands of men and women, >oys and girls, who could well afford to jive the earnings of one day to the sup)ort of a cause so worthy and deserving is that of providingfor the more than one mndred fatherless little ones placed unier the care of the Methodist church in iouth Carolina, for support and training. !t will be a small matter to the individual o make this contribution, but the gifts of he many will aggregate a helpful sum for he care of the orphans. Let some one >e appointed in every community to take :harge of the offerings and remit to us, >ut if preferable the individual may send lis own offering. We hope the children hroughout the State will be encouraged o take an active part in this matter, and hat all the friends of the orphans will :o-operate with us in making the day a uccess. W. B. Wharton, Supt., Columbia, S. C. MANY OF LIKE OPINION. Mrs. Pfailmer, of Cordova, Iowa, says: 'One of my children was subject to croup >f a severe type, and the givingof Cham>erlain's Cough Remedy promptly, always bought relief. Many in this neighborhood think as I do about' this remedy and vant no other for their children." Sold >y Bamberg Phar; H. C. Rice. Denmark. Reported That Jim Tillman Will Preach The Rock Hill Record says: "A report :omes from Chester and Richburg that Fas. H. Tillman has joined the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and will become i ministed of the gospel. "We publish the eport for what it is worth, being unable o verify it today." How such reports can get started we :annot imagine. Down in this section lothing has been heard of the above re>ort. , The Backwoods Prophet Comes Again. Editor The Bamberg Herald.-^As the 'prophecies of a backwoodsman" were dndlv published in last week's Herald rnd copied in The State of the 7th instant, le will venture another, but wishes to itate here that he got flour and cotton a ittle "mixed" in the previous one. He ntended to say that flour would advance )efore December prox., and cotton would each 12i cents ere March, '05. Though )redictions often fail any one is entitled o his opinions. , He now Dredicts that Judge Parker, if lot elected president, will not miss it by .00,000 popular votes, and the house of epresentative will probably go Demojratic. Why? There are 1,000,000 more democratic than Republican voters in the Jnited States according to the census tatistics of 1900, and yet McKinlev deeated Bryan by 864,000 votes that year. The popular vote may be Democratic, ret the Republican candidate can ge<; the najority in the electoral college.) The silver cranks, money planks, popilists, trusts, monopolies, and various aboring unions were under the control of dark Hanna & Co. then and literally arried over near 1,000,000 votes tc the Republican column. This year some of hese things will change, and besides the trenuous, autocratic, imperialistic poliies of Roosevelt will cause thousands of he moneyed, business Republicans north o cast, it may be, a secret ballot for Parkx and Davis. Watch the result in November! S. O. J. Ulmer, S. C., October 8th, 1904. Looks That Way"Say, pa?" "Well, what ?" "Wh^ does that man in the band, run he trombone down his throat ?"

SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN VARIOUS SECTIONS. News Items Gathered All Around the Conuty and Elsewhere. Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehriiardt, October 10?Some of the weather prophets have predicted a dry fall, at least as far out as December. Our streams are all very low and the earth dry, Oats planting will be useless until it rains. Cotton fields in this section are becoming bare, and the most of the cotton sold. Some of the farmers are holding for 1C cents and of course as much more as they can get. Mr. N. P. Murdaugh and daughter Rubye, came home on Sunday from Bamberg, where they have been on a visit. Mr. J. D. Jenny, of Jenny, was intowr Saturday on business. The show which is to come' off on tht 12th instant at Walterboro is creating tails and preparation. It is said that there wil be an an extra run on that day for th< occasion, and if the railroad company rum the extra there will be a. crowd of then go to see the show.

Last summer the writer discovered some hard, yellowish lumps in the Eden and Kolb Gem melons and on examination found numerous miniature holes on the "bottomside" of them, proving evidently that the hole and lumps were made by external insects. The same conditions have been observed this year, and only 2 few days ago, in bisecting a "Rattler," sev eral lumps of yellowish growth were seer in it. Melons disagreed with numbers ol people last season and scores have had tc forego them this, as they invariably made them sick. Now, whafis the cause! Perhaps these "pestiferous little pests' and the hybridization of the "Jim Cobb' with the "Rattler" oj- Mountain Sweei may be, but an answer from some on< better informed will be awaited with in terest. No doubt the bureau of entomol ogy may know all about the matter, bu some of our backwoodsmen would liketc be eniigntenea aiso. But it is to be hoped that the little gerrr worm "Cossacks" or whatever they are will not attack the popular cukes anc 'loupes, and especially Capt. Mathis'i forthcoming Eden "Cant," a sample o: which is now on exhibition at thb World'* Fair in St. Louis. It is patent to the older folks that befo de wah "buckra and niggah" could eal the luscious fruit with impunity in the day time, just so it was plucked in the early morn.

Six of Main Exhibition Structures Are under 1 Roof. Six of the main exhibition structures of the Lewis and Clark exposition at Port- c land, Oregon, are under roof and will be i ready within ten days to receive exhibits s from foreign commissioners and others a who have arranged to remain in this | r country another year after the bt. .Louis p world's fair, the transcontinental freight 1 associations having extended one year the I time limit for the return of such exhibits e to original points of shipments. . c Ground has been broken at the Guilds p Lake site for four more buildings, the ?

All the buildings will be under roof, ac- 1 cording to contract, by February 1. - t The exposition management has receiv1 ed requests to hold select sites for a New York state building and a building that - will represent several New England : states, to be known as the New England 1 building. s . Lawyer and Judge Agreed 1 The ninth district of Ohio was represented in congress by Judge Hall, and this > good story is toldof him, says the Nash: ville Banner: A case of some importance was reached t on the docket, and the parties and witnesses were on hand. The attorney for 1 the plaintiff, Charles Brown, was consids erably in his cups, a condition which seemed chronic with the really brilliant - lawyer. He submitted motion after mo" tioD. and the court did not appear to humor his extravagant demands, realizing, 1 too, that the attorney was not in a condi s lion to proceea wnn tne case. .Drown was persistent, and Judge Hall, becoming somewhat irritated, said: "It is the opinion of the court that the r counsel for the plaintiff is peculiarly disqualified al; this time for conducting this r case before the court." "What is that, your.honor?" demanded the intoxicated lawyer. "The court believes the counsel for the plaintiff entirely too drunk to continue with the case " "That is the first correct decision I ever knew your honor to render." Rose Equal to the Emergency. As an old colored preacher who had been conducting a revival meeting was ' reaching the end of his series, he appearf ed before the congregation one night, says the'Indianapolis News, and spoke thus: "Brethren and sisters, I come befo' you all wholly unprepared with my text. I hab been preaching all so'ts of things and to'show the brethren and sisters that I have not said all that I know, I will ask I that some mmebah of this congregation suggest a subject and I will preach about | it to you." I For several minutes there was an embarrassing silence while the minister scowled over the top of his glasses wait? _v. ing ior some one 10 propose a lupiu. No one seemed anxious to take advantage of the opportunity until finally a lit^ tie fellow in the back part of the church yelled out, "Pills." There was a snicker as the preacher cleared his voice and said: , "Pills. I hab been requested by some \ membah of this congregation to discourse , befo' you all on 'pills.' Now brethren and t sistern, I am not familiah wid de ways of medicine for I am a preacher man, but as 1 said I would talk on any subject that was proposed,'pills'wijl be my text. Now t to begin with', there are quinine pills, calomel pills and little pills and what the doctor do prescribe when the flesh am sick. But I propose to talk to you about that kind of medicine what de soul needs | when it am sick?gospills. 3 Went Barefooted to Save Her Shoes. ^ A pretty blonde stenographer created a 5 sensation on Fifteenth street yesterday afternoon during the storm, says the Denver Republican. She had gone out to lunch and when she left the restaurant * she saw that it would be impossible to re: turn to an office in the Mining Exchange , building, where she was employed, withi out damaging her new white low shoes ' and a pair of fancy stockings. So she deliberately removed the shoes and stockings and started down street barefooted. Policeman Michael Horkins stood at the corner of 15th and Curtis streets when he saw the young woman coming down the street. She was followed by a big crowd and she was running to escape. In her hand she carried her shoes and stockings. Horkins attempted to find out what all the trouble was about, but the young woman disapeared in the Mining Exchange building. "What did you do it for?" asked the policeman. "I had no idea it would attract any at- ? tention," replied the young lady. "I had ^ to get back here in a hnrry and I didn't b want to ruin my shoe.s" On the desk in n front of her were the shoes, a pair of white kids. j "* a Alderman Duffy?I nyve you, Mr. d Chairman, that we get a transparency for o our parade to-morrow evening.

Everybody Wondered How He Knew. There are often little trifles that were better left unsaid, But are uttered in an unaffected way, Which reminds me of a funny little matter which occurred At a fashionable ball the other day. The host espied a silk embroidered garter on the floor, And gaily dared the owner to declare, "When a jolly-looking fellow said, Without the least concern, <4Oh, I know it, it belongs to Mrs. Dare!" Now wasn't that a silly thing to say? Wasn't it a silly thing to do? It came as quite a starter, When he recognized that garter, For everybody wondered how he knew. Now wasn't that a silly thing to say? Wasn't it a silly thing to do? But they didn't hear till later, That she had got them from his mater, So everybody wondered how he knew. They were crowding around the baby at a christening, after which He was handed round for everyone to see; And a circumstance which seemed to please the people most Was a dainty little dimple on his knee; Said Cousin Jack from Oxford, who was staying there just then; "This looks like a hereditary strain, For isn't it a funny thing that just in this respect He's exactly like his elder sister Jane?"" Now wasn't that a silly thing to say? Wasn't it a silly thing to do? It was really worse than simple, When he talked about that dimple, For everybody wondered how he knew. Yet he chanced to see the dimple While out bathing?isn't it simple? For everybody wandered how he knew. Folks were gazing at the very latest painting at a sale. Labeled "beauty unadorned up on me list; When a gentleman remarked to several others standing bv; "It's not true?such perfect beauty can't exist." "Excuse me, sir," i gentleman remarked, "but you are wrong, And if you like Til bet a case of fizz That this painting here before you is ' exactly true to life, And represents the girl just as she is!" Now wasn't that a silly thing to say? Wasn't it a silly thing to do? The ladies blushed and wriggled, And the men turned round and giggled For everybody wondered how he knew. Yet nothing could be quainter, You see he was the painter, let everybody wondered how' he K.LLCW. They were eagerly discussing different reasons for divorce At a dinner, when a married man opined That snoring loud on either side should constitute a case, For it sufficed to drive sleep off your mind. "Quite right," remarked a smartly dressed young lady to a friend, "I never snore by any chance?do you?" On hearing which her fiance absentmindedly remarked:? ' Don't tell such stories, dear; you do!" Now wasn't that a silly thing to say? Wasn't it a silly thing to do? It not only sounded shady, But it quite upset the lady, For everybody wondered how he knew. Until he said "Don't scold me, Your sister Fannie told me," Why, everybody wondered how he knew." A country doctor who was attending a | aird had "instructed the butler of the iouse in the art of taking and recording 1 lis master's temperature with a thermometer. On repairing to the house one aorning he was met ~by the butler, to chomhesaid: "Well, John,-1 hope the aird's temperature is not higher to-day." 'he man looked puzzled for a moment nd then replied: "Well, I was just won- \ erin' that mysel'. Ye see, he died at two 'clock."

It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried be- ^ neath the skin as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, ana when the air is excluded the germ is ' '?! roused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs - . v|8 may be destroyed and danger of lockiaw 4l! avoided bv applying Chamberlain's Fain Balm freely as soon as the injury is re- . ceived. Pain Balm is an antisep'tic and ^ causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to heal without maturation and in one third J'M the time required by usual treatment.
