The editor of the Charleston Evening
Post feels somewhat aggrieved
over the silence of the South Carolina
press in reference to his senatorial
candidate. He argues well that
even if the proposition is not all that
might be desired, some consideration
is due because of his sponsorship.
When even New York and other
Eastern territory is solid almost to a

does seem ungrateful that South
Carolina editors should be so silent
over a matter which promises so
much. The Herald will offend no
longer. We hereby take our seat in
the band wagon. Let the band play
that classic selection, "She's the only
girl I love."
Two Cents for a "Shine."
The small bootblack exists because
of the love of the average child to be
active and to earn a little money. In
the slums, where the children have j
nothing to play with except stone '
steps, iron railings and filth, it is (
very interesting and fairly profitable
to play with a dirty pair of shoes. So
the small boy shines and gambles and learns
all that the street has to teach. .
Organized hand work and play in !
the schools of our great cities, a slight
lengthening of the period of daily and ;
annual school attendance, and the j
children might develop the normal
play instinct without recourse to
street life. This is the program of
the national child labor committee. :
The earnings of the small bootblack
are very low. If he shines for
? ? ? i
three cents when he can get it, ana ,
two cents when he cannot get three, ,
he may make eighteen cents on a Sat- ,
urday.
This is one of the many forms of ;
child labor in America against which ,
the national child labor committee
contends. ' With the co-operation
which the American people ought to
give to such an enterprise we believe
this committee is leading in a cam
paign which will secure to every
American boy and girl the education ,
and physical growth which are so essential
to American citizenship.?

Escaped Hazing.

six feet, two inches in !

mob of his fellow West Pointers attempted
to practice on him the usual
diabolical arts reserved for new arrivals
in the old days, the young man
from Louisiana submitted a counter
proposal. "I'm willing to be hazed, j
all right, if you fellows are equal to
the job," he said, "but I must insist
on your coming one at a time." That J
looked easy, but was not. The hazers j
came on one at a time, and rumor has
it that Sullivan whipped seventeen of ,
them to a standstill before making
them see the futility of further attacks,

were not the same as Sullivan's .
however. He warned the hazers not
to attempt to enter his room, and
when they tried to rush him he fired ,

'' " ''"v.- Jr.. ' BARNWELL'S
FIRST GINNERY.
Col. T. J. Counts Writes of Lewis Malone
Ayer.
In last week's issue of the Barnwell
People, Col. T. J. Counts, of this city,
had the following interesting letter.
Dear Holmes: - As cotton seed has
now become to be the great benefactor
to every agricultural interest as
well as to man and beast, I desire to
give you the experience of an old man
Lewis Malone Ayer as to the value of
cotton seed in his day and tine of
business life. If my memory serves me
correctly Mr. Ayer cam eto this State
from North Carolina early in life,
looking out for a place to locate for
business, both mercantile and agricultural.
True, this was all before
my time but the history of the story
to which I allude was handed down
from him through his son Gen. L. M.
Ayer and others whom I had the
pleasure to know and can vouch for
anything that they may have said as
true beyond the shadowT of doubt.
He decided to cast his lot with the
people of Barnwell, S. C., and located
at Buford's Bridge. He began merchandizing
early in life and also engaged
in farming. He was a thorough
going business man?broad minded
and liberal in his views and far above
the average man in point of intellect.
By close attention to business and
looking after the interest of his people
he-soon endeared himself to all
who knew him and he was then the
great man of the day.
The people of that section planted
but little either cotton or corn especially
cotton. They made their hog
and hominy, however cotton enough
to make their clothing and buy a
little sugar, coffee, iron and salt and
mrvnpv for taxes. Mr. Aver from
time to time advised all parties to
increase their cotton crop and make
a little money to lay up for a rainy
day. Planters were very willing to
benefit by his advice but the great
difficulty in preparing the crop for
market was urged by all. In order
to remedy the trouble he proposed
to erect a ginnery if they would all
agree to increase the acreage to an
amount sufficient to warrant him in
undertaking the expense of building
and buying up all the machinery neccessary
to accomplish the end. As
they all had confidence in Mr. Ayer
they readily agreed and the ball was
put in motion. When the fall of
the year came on the ginnery as promised
by Mr. Ayer was all found to be
ready and people began hauling in according
to the understanding. The
crop was so small that some became
anxions to gin but they would have to
wait for a time before they could pick
as much as a bale. But to meet this
difficulty Mr. Ayer proposed for them
to join in a company bale, each one
furnishing so much seed cotton. The
* * l 1 11 11 J .
plan worxea aamiramy wen ana tne
work went on. The cotton seed was
thrown out of the gin house in a pile
which soon grew so large that the
question came up as what was best
to do with them. Mr. Ayer was
rather put to it himself as they were
getting in his way by constant accumulation.
His gin house was in the
edge of a field perhaps ten to fifteen
acres. So his solution of the problem
was to broadcast them over that field
and then turn them under instead of
hauling them off to the stream which
some proposed. Next spring he planted
the field in corn. Soon after the
com began to grow the whole country
as they heard of it came to see
the sight. The result was that he
gathered thirty five to forty bushels
to the acre and he nor any one else
louid understand this great mystery
but must attribute it to the cotton
seed turned under the previous fall.
Since that time, perhaps a century or
more, cotton seed has been valued as
a benefactor to the corn crop most
:_n.- -d.-a ? :4.? ^
especially, jduu ncvci n<u its uuc
and intrinsic value been known for
everything, man, land and beast until
the present day. Mr. Ayer was a
whole souled Christian gentleman.
By close attention to business he accumulated
a large fortune and left
behind him a clean and stainless reputation
as a Christian, citizen, neighbor
and friend. I knew him for years
before he died, but not until ?he retired
from active life. I am proud to
.lave the honor of paying tribute to
the memory of such a grand old gentleman.
He was upward of ninety
when he died about the year 1863, as
well as I remember.
In closing this letter I could not do
justice to my own feelings if I did
not pay tribute to the memory of
Gen. L. M. Ayer also. As a friend,
true and tried, loyal as the day was
long, he was to me and to my family.
But few men ever crossed Jordan
that Ifeft behind him a more enviable
reputation as a friend and Christian
gentleman. He was in heart and
soul and body with his people To
know him was to love him.

Negro Postmaster in Trouble.
Beaufort, Aug. 7.?The postmaster
at Port Royal, S. D. Jones, a
negro, is charged by the postal inspection
officials with embezzlement
and making false returns to the auditor
at Washington. Jones is at Port
Royal too ill to be moved, but if he
can be brought up on Friday a preliminary
examination will then be
held by United States Commissioner
J. O'H. Sanders here. A warrant
for his arrest has been issued.
The case is being handled by detective
Wilkerson and District Superintendent
J. H. Erwin, who has headquarters
in Charleston.
Jones came here from Beech Island,
