Thursday, Oct. 13,1904 If it is true that a negro was whipped to death on the Edgefield county chain gang, we may expect some searching proceedings. The people in that county I seem to be aroused over the affair, and we believe that Solicitor Thurmond will rigorously prosecute the guilty parties. P, All this agitation and discussion of lawlessness in the State by the newspapers is bound to do some good, and for that reason we believe in keeping it up. We'll give some people a lot of unpleasant notoriety at least, and possibly this will do something towards checking the growing tendency to crime. Contests over the recent primary elections are not ended yet. The State executive coramitte has been called to meet in Columbia next Monday night to con|. eider a contest over the office of Super^ visor in Greenville county. That there was fraud and illegal voting in the pri; * mary in that county was plainly shown by the testimony at the hearing before the | ' county executive committee. A jury of his peers, composed of peo*> ? AA?n?w fAiin/) Unrt Uoroe fi Ipxc U1 11X9 WUii \>J , iVUUU AJIVJ V AAMJ vvj M white man, guilty of the murder of his wife, and he is under sentence df death. However, an application for commutation of sentence to life imprisonment has been made to the governor, and a reprieve of two weeks has been granted Hayes in order that the chief executive may examine the papers in the case. Why should the governor commute the sentence? Is he better able to understand the case than the jury? Has he all the testimony before him? and is he in possession of all the facts and circumstances which led the jury to find a verdict of guilty? Of course not. The verdict of the jury should stand. . *** The term of Chief Justice Y. J. Pope ||r is to expire in a few months, and his successor is to be elected by the legislature at I its coming session. Of course the chief justice will stand for re-election?no doubt about that, although he has not so publicly announced. He is one of the "reformers" who went into office in 1890 on the platform of rotation in office but who do not want a personal application made of the principle. Suppose we rotate the gentleman out this time?he has been sucking I . the public teat steadily for fourteen years f and ought to be satisfied?and elect C. A. j Woods as chief justice. He is now asso- j ciate justice and writes most of the opin- j ions of the court, anyway. So if he is to do the work he ought to have the honors. "Teeth Inserted Here." Eddie Foy tells of a man who was attacked by a bulldog belonging to a friend. Fortunately the man was not injured by the canine's onslaught, but escaped with a torn coat. The owner offered profuse apologies for the misbehavior of the dog, and insisted upon making good the cost of the damaged garment. When the friends had said good-bye, the owner of the dog remarked: ] "Really, 1 must get a sign bidding peo- ; pie beware of the beast." < "An excellent idea," agreed the man 1 attacked. "I'll get my dentist to send ? you one of his." ] "Why a dentist's sign ? asked the dog's owner. 1 "Because," replied the other, "it says, 1 01 'Teeth inserted here.'"?New York Times. Negro Whipped to Death. Johnston, S. C., October 11.?The body ? of Wade Hartley who died on the county ] chaingang about two weeks ago and whose sudden death aroused suspicion of ( |k, foul play, was again exhumed today and an inquest held which was ordered by ( Solicitor Thurmond. It developed that the negro had been beaten three times by ( ?> guards or foremen, Crowley, Prince and t Sawyer. The evidence was sufficient in \ the minds of the jury of inquest to render the following verdict: "That Wade t Hartley came to his death by a blow on the back of the head and in the eye, while \ in charge of the chaingang." ] A Mutual Mistake. Little Willie told his mother that a lion was on the front porch, but when an in- ^ vesligation was made, it was found to be , the Newfoundland dog which had been newly sheared, says Colliers Weekly. "Now, Willie," said his mother, "you ; have told a very naughty story, and you must go up to* your room and pray for gv forgiveness and remain there until the Lord does forgive you." Willie promptly obeyed, but was gone ! only a few minutes before be came trip- < ping back. i "Did the Lord forgive you?" asked his i mother. < "Yes," -was the reply, "and He said He 1 didn't blame me much either, 'cause when 1 ; , He first saw it He sorter thought it was a i lion Himself." j i fe-.. <* . crt ~- - ' What the World Needs.

E. church, on Conselyea street, Eastern district, under the auspices of the choir. In addition to many features by outside talent, a "weighing party" was conducted by the pastor, the Rev. W. G. Ivie. Admission was by envelope, each containing an unknown number and each npmber being duplicated in another envelope. When the proper time came the envelopes were opened, and two persons thus found themselves holding the same number. The two thus paired at random were weighed on a scales. The number of pounds difference between the two indicated in cents the price to be paid by the heavier person for two plates of cream. Some had to pay only a few cents, while the unfortunate ones whose weight differered greatly, had a large bill to foot. The maximum difference for which"payment was required was thirty pounds, all over this paying but 30 cents. There was a good attendance, and the affair was an entire success.?Brooklyn Eagle. The Very Thing. Annanias was out of work. "You ought to be able to get a job as war correspondent," suggested Sapphira. "Why of course," he shouted, joyfully, and forthwith started for the front.?Philadelphia Bulletin. "How did they ever come to send him to the legislature?" "Well, you see, they were prevented by a technicality from sending him to the pennitentiary, and he showed no disposition to move out of town." CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY. No one acquainted with its good qualiities is surprised at the great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds and grip, but prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumonia. It is a certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is pleasant to take." When all these facts are taken into consideration it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy highly and few are willing to take any other after havingmsed it.

We have been hearing of a boy who thought he would like to b a naturalist if he received satisfactory encouragement from his parents. A microscope had been given to him on his tenth birthday, and forsaking all other interests, he devoted himself to the study of nature with such , ardor that when dinner was announced on the first day he was much excited over the newly acquired knowledge, aud ; sought to give it out for the entertain- i ment of the people at the table. Guests were present, and turning to 1 the lady nearest to him, with a smiling face he inquired: "Did you ever look at cheese through a nicroscope ?" "I do not remember to have done so," >he pleasantly replied, withdrawing from aer lips the bit she was about to eat. Well, you just ought to see the. things irawl on it." "John," exclaimed his father, "eat your linner!" The lady quietly tucked the piece of cheese under the side of her plate, and John perceived that his information on ;he subject was not wanted. When strawberries were placed upon ;he table John burst forth again. "You ought to look at a strawberry through the microscope! They look just like warts, and you think you can see beasts a running."? "John," said his mother. "Well, they look worse than flies' beads," protested the eager naturalist, 'for flies"? "Boy," said the father, "leave the table!' John went out, wondering why his father wouldn't allow him to "talk sense" when he really had something to say. GOOD FOR CHILDREN.
