Human Life Cheap. "If a man steals a horse or kills a cow ; now, he is in more danger of punishment | than if he were to take the life of his fel-; lowman," spoke Mr. J. A. McCullough, of! Greenville, in his argument to the jury in i the case of the State vs. Otto Summey, charged with the murder of Oscar Cureton. Summey was on trial for his life, j Representing the prosecution, Mr. McCul-: lough made a hard fight for conviction, j and his argument was not one of the cut' and dried speeches delivered to juries.; i He dealt with every feature of the testi-; mony, and spoke in no uucertain tones of. the failures of jur es to do their duty ac- j cording to the evidence. He stated in his argument that the life and property of a ' citizen are no more secure than the men ! >' in the jury box make them. The jury ; alone has the power to vindicate themaj-! esty of the law. "Must be Wiped Out." On the car from Columbia we sat near: . Senator Tillman, who was going to a' meeting of the trustees of Clemson col- j Wo cpompd fthsnrhed and morose, I and showed little interest in his fellow passengers. Two or three members of the party engaged him in brief conversa- j tion, however. To one who asked about' ' I the idea of purifying the dispensary, he replied, "That whole d? business in Columbia has got to be wiped out"?and his i- eye flashed that same venom and earnestness with which he charged rottenness in the state government during his campaign of 1S90?Bennettsviile Advocate.

"I knew no one, for fovir weeks, when I was sick with typhoid and kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Annie Hunter, of Pittsburg, Pa., "and when I got better, although I had one of the best doctors I could get, I was bent double, and had to rest my hands on my knees when I walked. From this terrible affliction I was rescued by Electric Bitters, which restored my health and strength, and now I can walk as straight as ever. They are simply wonderful."

Frick, in thiscoun-; ty, 15 miles from the city near the Fair-! field county line, met with a most uuusu- i al accident last Thursday which resulted , in his death on Sunday. Cannon had j finished plowing in one field and was ! moving to another field nearby to plow J there, when the accident occurred. He j was riding the mule he had been plowing : ( and had the plowstock on his shoulder, j As he passed under a small tree, the handles of the plow stock became entangled in the branches and pulled him off the mule. He fell face downwards j on top of the plow and one of the wings j penetrated his abdomen. Cannon was | removed to his home and lived until Sunday morning. A strange fact about the case is that no doctor was ever called in and .the man died without medical attention.?Columbia State. Strategy. ''Young man," said the stern matron in the hallway, "I don't think I would care for you to call on my daughter again." "Why not?" asked the }*oung man, turning pale. "Well, to begin with, you are too disrespectful. I heard you say that I used J powder." "Yes. baking powder, and you are the best cook in the neighborhood." And after that mamma always met him at the door when he called and gave him ! a flower. Not in His Line; A former president of the Boston and Maine railroad, who was well kfrown both for his clerical style of dress and his picturesque profanity, happened to be stopping at a hotel in Plymouth, N. H., which was also headquarters for quite a number of Methodist ministers attending their annual conference. It was on the first day of the conference and many of the clergy-, men were strangers to each other. The clerical looking railroad president j entered the dining room with a party of ministers and the head waiter, selecting' him as the most imposing and dignfiied of the number,gave him a seat at the head of the table. A momentary silence fell on the party; then the minister at his right, addressing ! him, .said: ''Brother, will you ask God's blessing on the food?" Placing a hand back of one ear and leaning toward him the "brother" said: "You'll have to speak louder, neighbor, as I'm so d?d deaf I can't hear ordinarj conversation." Attempt To Kill Au Entire Family, j Laurens, July 20.?News of a most diabolical attempt at poisoning the members of a prominent family, consisting of Mrs. Maggie Fergerson, her son, Mr. E. W. Ferguson, and wife, is reported from the vicinity of Clinton. At about the same time Tuesday morning Mr. Ferguson, his?motherandanegro servant became very ill, ^he symptoms indicating poison. Ih a few hours however, they had almost entirely recovered. Meantime an investigation led to the discovery of a bag in the well containing a horrible mixture of portions of a snake, frogs, lizzards and a quantity of stuff resembling pounded match heads. However, a physican who examined the contents of the bag states thot there was not present any mineral poison. Jake Carwile, ex-convict and all round bad negro, who until last Saturday was in the employ of Mr. Ferguson, his time having expired, is suspected of the deed, as he had given Mr. Ferguson a deal of trouble and is understood to have made threats against his employer repeatedly to the other hands on the place. A vigorous search was soon instituted and a posse of determined men have been scouring the country for the negro since some time yesterday morning, but he seems to have made good his escape. Carwile is about 40, black, medium size, partially bald, wears a mustache. G. Frank Bamberg handles the best buggies and wagons, yet the prices are reasonable. Two Cops Eat Forty Pies. There was a pie eating contest between two cops last night in the Tremont avenue police station. The Bronx policeman Francis Curran, ate 22 to Patrolman Herman Meyer's 18. Curran got away with his 22 in just 23 minutes. Up to the eighteenth pie it was almost an even break, Curran being about a custard rim in the lead, but then Meyer got hold of one that was burnt some, and the grit, he said, made his throat sore. The pies were assorted and bakery made. All the other cops in the station house watched the contest, which grew out of a dispute as to the number of pieces of pie a man ought to eat at dinner. Meyer had to pay for all forty pies. < Both cops went out on duty afterward, i ?New York Sun. LOT C I think they are a iq largest lot of Bu les so as to make iAMBE A. M.

Clark, Bishop of Rhode Island, was responsible, says the Boston Herald. Some 3*ears ago while attending a lecture in Boston he observed a man sitting three seats in front whom he thought he knew. He requested the person sitting next to him to "punch" the other iudivididual with his umbrella. The polite stranger did so, and, the disturbed person turning his head a little, Bishop Clark discovered his mistake. It was not the person he supposed. Fixing his attention steadfastly on the lecturer, and affecting unconsciousness of the whole affair, he left the man with the umbrella to settle with the other for the disturbance, and this man being wholly without excuse, there was of course a very ludicrous and embarrassing scene, during all of which Bishop Clark was profoundly interested in the lecture. At last the man with the umbrella asked rather-indiguantly: "Didn't you tell me to punch that person with my umbrella?" "Yes." "And what did you want?" "I wanted to see whether you would punch him or not." THE DIAMOND CURE. The latest news from Paris, is, that they have discovered a diamond cure for con-1 sumption. If you fear consumption or I pneumonia, it will, however, be best for you to take that great remedy mentioned by TV. T. McGee, of Van leer, Tenn. "I had a cough for fourteen years. Nothing helped me, until I took Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, which gave instant relief and effected a permanent cure."

Charleston, Jul)- 24.?The sis young white men who were arrested by special agents of the Atlantic Coast Line several days ago at Grcenpond and brought here, were taken to Walterboro today, where they will be given an examination. They are charged with car breaking and the agents claim to have a strong case against them. The men wanted to have their examination held here, believing their chances better with the local court, but they were nevertheless carried back to Colleton county. Made a Bargain First. Representative Julius Kahn, of California, says the New York Times, tell a lininnrniic fold illuct 1";i 11 M f thp ^XILLXXJ VU>7 W\bJv iiiuuviWbiiv v* vuv guile of "the heathen Chinee." 4 One day it appears that Dennis Spencer, a prominent criminal attorney of Napa, in the state mentioned, was the recipient of a call from a Chinese, who without circumlocution at once put this question: "S'pose, Mr. >Spcncer, one Chinaman kill 'notker Chinaman with hatchet. How much you charge make him clear?" "Oh," exclaimed the lawyer, carelessly, "I'd take the case for $000." The Chinaman vanished without a word. In about a week he returned and laid the sum of $500 on Mr. Spencer's desk. "What's this for?".asked the lawyer. "You say you take the case for $000," explained the Orieutial. A light burst upon Mr. Spencer. Horrified, he exclaimed: "You mean to tell me that since I saw vou last one of your countrymen has been killed?" "Certainly," calmly answered the Chinaman. "I killed him last night." A SURPRISE PARTY.
