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

(iaye a "Weighing Party."
A novelty in chuych socials was held |
last night in Grace P. 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. For sale by

Snubbing a Naturalist.
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.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.
For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Repeated
attacks of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
expose? the nerves of the stomach, thus caueing
the glandsto secrete mucin instead'of _
the Juices of natural digestion. This to
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
relieves all* inflammation of the mucoua
membranes lining the stomach, protects tha
nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings,
a sense of fullness after eating, indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.
