The negroes of Beaufort have nominated a full ticket for county officers, from senator to coroner, which they will support in the cc ming general election. A petition signed by over two hundred persons of Oconee county has been sent to Governor Heyward, asking that he resign because he pardoned Hoyt Hayes. Fire broke out in the cellar of The State building in Columbia last Saturday night and destroyed $8,000 worth of fine ledger y and bond paper. No other damage was done. ^ Internal revenue officers seized seventy J* gallons of liquor in Columbia on Friday that had been shipped there in drygoods boxes and billed as drygoods on the bill of lading. Clarence Thrailkill, white, charged with the murder of Ben Burton in Saluda county, has been found guilty of manslaughter. Saluda juries seem to be do' ing their duty. Clemson college received last year $168,684.63 from all sources. Its expenses were, $128,038.25, leaving a surplus to tne college of $40,656.37. This report was up to June 30,1904. Some South Carolina negroes while drunk got into a row on ihe train coming from Augusta last Saturday. They had * been to the circus. One negro was wound? ed and one killled. H Mrs. Fannie Baskins, the wealthy , * Sumter woman who is charged with setting fire to a house, waived a preliminary examination on Thursday and gave bail in the sum of $2,000. There was a fall of 3.82 inches of rain 4 in Charleston on Friday?the heaviest in five years. The rain extended up as far as Columbia, where it fell for about two hours in gentle showers. Edwin L. Crouch, agent of the Southern road at Warrenville, Aiken county, was arrested on Thursday night at Leesville on the charge of having embezzled $551 of the company's money. Jim Brown, the negro wanted in Florence on a charge of arson, has been $ brought back from New York. The ne1?1 cotHncr fire to several - gro is cuoigcu mtu k houses and tobacco warehouses in Florence. j Chief Constable Hammett has refused to allow a beer dispensary on the State fair grounds, although the State board authorized it and also the county board, ; the consideration for the privilege being I'. $500. Mr. Hammett says it is against the $ law. The grand jury of Aiken county return* ed a true bill against Alderman L. C. M. Oliveros, charged with accepting bribes. | v. He gave bond in the sum of $300, and I ' was released from custody. The trial will not take place until the next term of the % criminal court. The gin house and contents, consisting of 20 bales of coton, cotton seed from 100 bales, and farming utensils of Mr. Mark Toney, who lives near Johnston, in Edgefield county, were destroyed by fire last \ * Friday night. Loss about $2,500, with no insurance. Cause of fire unknown. A few months ago in Saluda county I some white men killdd a negro. The published facts at the time made it look like a case of cold-blooded murder. Last week the trial took place, and two of the men were found guilty ofmansluaghfter, and another guilty of carrying an unlawful pistol. Joe Byrd was shot and killed last Saturday by Kendall Huggins near Latta in *" Marion county. Both men were young white farmers, and the shooting grew out of a dispute over a horse trade. It is said (that Byrd advanced on Huggins with a buggy whip and Huggins shot him near k the heart with an old cap-and-bali pistol I* loaded with shot. \ The Presbyterian synod of South Carol lina, at its session in Clinton last week, I voted to remove their theological seminary from Columbia to Atlanta, to combine at that place with the Clarksville, Ga., university. In spite of this vote it is not likely that the seminary will be moved, as much money has to be raised by Atlanta. Then, too, there are legal ob. stacles in the way of removing the unisity from Clarksville. Last Thursday six white men were arrested and lodged in the State penitentiary, charged with being the men who lynched a ne^ro at Eutawville a few I , months ago. For some time Governor I ' Hey ward has had Pinkerton detectives working on the case, and the arrests re| . suited. Another white man has since r given himself up. One of the men arrested r . was the town marshal of Eutawville and | - another is a magistrate's constable. 1 > > - G. W. M. WILLIAMS CAUGHT AGAIN. He Does not Turn Money Over Which He Had Collected, and Disbarment Proceedings are Begun?Now Practicing in Florida. G. W. M. Williams, who was into so much trouble in South Carolina and Georgia a few years ago, and who was finally disbarred from practice as an attorney in both States, is at his old tricks in Florida, and disbarment proceedings have been begun against him in that State. We take the following article from a Jacksonville paper, but the case is being tried at "vrTPio trhorp it cppnis Williams lives iuiauii) A IW.f nMV*v?*??VOT. and practices law: SERIOUS CHARGE LODGED. Joseph Zapf Alleges His Attorney Did Not Remit. The Jacksonville wholesale whiskey dealer is figuring in a sensational suit at Miami. The particulars of the suit are given in the Metropolis of that city.as follows: "A case that is causing considerable legal interest is now pending in the Circuit Court before Judge Minor S. Jones, and is entitled Joseph Zapf vs. G. W. M. Williams, rule nici, which it is alleged, upon the affidavit of one R. W. Harman, that the respondent collected certaiu moneys belonging to the said Zapf, and is withholding and refusing to pay over the same upon demand. "The suit was brought by R.. H. Seymour, attorney for Zapf, and in his bill of particulars prays that the respondent be required to pay over the amount of indebtedness claimed or have his name stricken from the list of attorneys now in this State, as is Drovided for piavviviu^ *<!-? ^ ? jby section 980 of the Revised Statutes of Florida. "The bill of particulars alleges, in substance, that the said respondent, as a lawyer, was employed by the said Zapf to collect certain moneys due him in this city; that certain collectons were made, and that but a certain portion of said moneys collected were paid over to him (Zapf), and that the respondent has refused to effect a settlement for the balance. "On the 6th instant Judge Jones issued an order commanding the respondent to make a settlement with the said Zapf, or to show cause before him on the 11th instant, at the courthouse in Miami, why he had not done so. . "This apparently was not done, and last night a special session of court was held, at which Messrs. W. W. Erwin and Price & Gautier, representing Mr. Williams, and Attorneys Seymour of this city, and Jordan, of Jacksonville, for the plaintiff, argued for and against a motion to quash the information. "The motion to quash set forth a number of counts why the same should be sustained, among which were the allegations that the affidavit of Harmon was in bad form and substance, and too loose, general and vague, indefinite and uncertain to have warranted the order requiring the respondent to show cause; also, that it did not show or specify that the respondent was due certain fees as attorney in the matter of the collections, etc. "After arguments had been ably presented by both sides, the motion to quash was denied, and the following order was issued by Judge Jones: " 'The within cause comiog on to be heard this 11th dav of October, 1904, and * J 4.U the same naving Deen argueu uy me uuuusel for the respective parties, it is ordered that said motion is hereby denied, and that respondent will answer by October 15. Exception noted. Done in open court this October 11,1904.' "There the matter stands until Saturday, when Colonel Williams will have to answer the original order made on the 6th instant. Colonel Williams's many friends hope he will be able to prove conclusively that his actions in the matter of the collections made for Mr. Zapf were regular and his proceedings in accordance with law." A Wise Suggestion. Editor Herald : As one who has been a resident of Bamberg for less than a year, I am firmly convinced of the fact that our town needs a Law and Order League, or some kind of organization for the suppression of crime and vice, and in order that we may be in line with other towns of the State. It is true that we have officers whose duty is to preserve order, but there are many incidents and occurrences that do not come under their observation, and if the better class of citizens would iratph.nn anrl rpnnrt all nffpnders most " wwv- ? * assuredly a better state of ^ affairs would exist within the corporate limits of the town. There are almost in the heart of the town certain lewd characters who frequently hold high carnival not only in the night, but in open day, and their carousals at times are such that respectable women, whose husbands are away, are compelled to stay indoors for fear of insults from the habitues of those dives. Many other offences might be mentioned that should be looked after and reported to the proper authorities, but I merely mention this one nuisance in order to bear me out in the suggestion that a Law and Order League could accomplish much good in our town, and would be the means of elevating the morals of our boys and young men who are just entering manhood. It is earnestly hoped that this card will strike a responsive chord within the breast of some one, and that our noble women will take up the matter, and in future years the fruits of their labors will be visible on every side. MANY OF LIKE OPINION. Mrs. Philmer, of Cordova, Iowa, says: "One of my children was subject to croup of a severe type, and the givingof Chamberlain's Cough Remedy promptly, always brought relief. Many in this neighborhood think as 1 do about this remedy and want no other for their children." Sold by Bamberg Phar; H. C. Rice. Denmark. COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS.

Misses Inez Zorn, Cecile Walker, i.nd Laurie Cox went down to the county seat last week to stand the teachers' examination. We are sorry to report the death of Miss Kate Laflfitte, which sad occurrence took place at Norway, S. C., where she recently removed, about six weeks since, to take the position of postmistress. The cause of Miss Laffitte's death is not definitely known here. Her father, Prof. S. S. Laffitte, who had a stroke of paralysis some days ago, is still suffering. The deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved family. Mrs. M. R. Hardwiick, who has been spending some time with relatives near Williston and in Blackville, S. C., is expected home to-day.

Miss Nettie Foster, who has been the guest of Miss Eva Boyles, will leave for Waynesboro, Ga., to-day. In Shakertown. In Shakertown the people all Shook late and early, large and small, Some blamed their ills on their religion; Some cursed the ague of the region. Though on the cause they didn t agree? They shook with unanimity. A traveler, as he passed that way, With pity deep, to them did say: "Oh, why in this sad state remain, When here's a cure for every pain ?" Then gave each one?this is no myth? A bottle labeled "Wintersmith." 'Twixt hope and fear each drank his share; Was cured completely, then and there; And no more shake these shivering Shakers; They've grown as quiet as queer-clad Quakers; Each loves the other with love platonic, And all praise Wintersmith's great tonic. CAN YOU EAT? J. B. Taylor, a prominent merchant of Charlesman, Tex., says: "I could not eat because of a weak stomach. I lost strength ?nH mn down in weieht. All that monev could do was done, but hope of recovery vanished. Hearing of some wonderful cures effected by Kodol Dyspepsia cure, I concluded to try it. The first bottle benefitted me, and after taking four bottles, I am fully restored to my usual strength, weight and health." Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and cures. Sold by Dr. H. F. Hoover. Even the rude rains of the world rim the roses with silver; but the practical fellows don't appreciate the silver, since it won't pass current at the grocery store.

Owing to Mr. v Coffman's opposition to them the attend- f< ance has fallen off. He contends that d such entertainments appeal to the lower v nature, belong to the service of mammon, h are a sort of trading stamp adjunct to a church work, make the. people spend t three dollars to net one to the church a fund, teach the congregation extrava- \ gance, rob the community and result in 1 spiritual poverty. t ,m'^m g News from AllendaleAllendale, October 21.?A portion of c Main street near the Southern railroad has been greatly improved by paving with crushed granite. Prof. Law and his very efficient corps r of assistant teachers are making splendid r progress with the Allendale graded s school. The roll is increasing and the average attendance quite satisfactory. a There is some talk of a new depot at e Allendale. 1 Cotton is still coming into market, bus- a iness is fairly good and prospects bright- t er in many particulars than they have t been for several years past. r Miss Turner, of Macon, Ga., is visiting a the family of Dr. R.

DANGER OF A COLD. Pneumonia, gripp, cold, bronchitis and ^ nearly every other dangerous sickness of this kind is usually the development of a P slight cough.

Hardly no c one talks proper nowadays, and the land 1 only knows what the next generation c will talk like if nothing ain't done about J it."

It illustrates the intelligence and faithfulness of a dog. t Barnard Doughterty was a railroad track- a man, whose duty it was to flag trains at a b certain crossing. He had a large dog, which he had trained to perform this at n his command. Doughterty died suddenly during Sunday night. At daybreak the dog went into the signal box and got a red flag, and trotted off down the track b to meet an approaching train. The train ii was stopped, and then Doughterty's death e was discovered.

I In Sumter last Monday morning about ine o'clock, Dr. Van Telburg Hofman ommitted suicide by shooting the top of 1 is head off with a shotgun. He was a 1 rominent physician of that city, and was s 8 years old. He was born in Holland, c 'he direct cause of his suicide was a t uarrel with his wife. She was a Metho- i ist and he was a Catholic, and he did 1 ot want her to go to her own church, he went to church Sunday night and i tiey got into a quarrel. ?ne got up ana i rent into the next room, saying she i rould pack up and leave at once, and he ] allowed and grabbing her by the shoul- I ers beat her head and face against the ! rail and door facing. He then locked j er in, but she escaped through a window i nd ran screaming to a neighbor's, with lood streaming down her face. As soon ,s he found his wife had gotten away, he rent into a room and shot himself. They tad quarreled before, and Hofman had eaten her, on one occasion at least, so everely that a physician was called, who hreatened to expose Hofman should it iccur again. Beecher and The Rooster. That Henry Ward Beecher was spared nuch embarrassment by his quickness at epartee is illustrated by the following tory: One evening, as he was in the midst of in impassioned speech, some one attemptid to interrupt him by suddenly crowing ike a rooster. It was done to perfection, i number of people laughed in spite of hemselves, and the speaker's friends felt hat in a moment the whole effect of the neeting, and of Mr. Beecher's thrilling * * - V ^ _ 1 -.1 rPL ~ .ppeais, migoi oe iusi. xuc uiaiui, uu rover, was equal to the occasion. He topped, listened till the crowing ceased, ,nd then, with a look of surprise, pulled >ut his watch. "Morning already!" he said; "my watch 5 only at 10. But there can be no misake about it. The instincts of the lower nimals are infallible." There was a roar of laughter. The lower animal" in the gallery collapsed, nd Mr. Beecher was able to resume as if * othinghad occurred.?Success. * m 1 Willing to Oblige. i When a table is not handy reporters jmetimes write with their notebooks on leir knees. This preliminary explanaation may or may not be considered * ecessary to bring out the points of the t blowing incident: j A two-days' bazaar was held a little ? phile ago. On the first day a gentleman pened it and made a speech, and the re- c orters were provided with a table. The I jcond day a lady opened the bazaar and j Iso made a speech, but the reporters had o table. c Obliging lady (to reporter)?Will you i jquire a table ? t Reporter?Oh, no.

But you have two' sets of , eelings in going about?can't help it? re all have. But you especially have; ! or a part of your business is sympathy.

Paint divides the two sorts of people; )ne paints and the other don't. Or, periaps, the thrifty paint well; the unthrifty paint ill. To paint well is to keep paint sound. There are two ways to do it: one is bound ;o paint often; the other to use good paint. It costs about half as much to paint Devoe as to paint with any other paint; for Devoe takes fewer gallons than mixed paints and wears twice as long as leadmd-oil. The thrifty and comfortable have the art of using money more wisely. How [ucky they are! how happy!

It is inactive so long as * xposed to the air, but when carried beeath the skin as in the wounds caused by ercussion caps or by rusty nails, ana rhen the air is excluded the germ is I :>used to activity and produces the most a irulent poison known.
