This was the day of the primary election, and great interest centered around the face for governor between Hoke Smith, the present incumbent, and I Joseph M. Brown. ^ Mr. Brown was formerly railroad commissioner, but '^was removed by Smith about a year or more ago, in fact soon after Smith * was inaugurated as governor. Mr. t Brown won by about 15,000 majority, which was a great surprise, as it seemed to be the general opinion v; Smith would be given a second W&gr term. It was one of the hottest cam|Pp:l paigns in the history of the State, al|pC. though Brown made no speeches It BaBSfc seems piain from this distance that the corporations and liquor men fpfc elected Brown with their money. % '' The railroads were especially hostile to Smith. ^ Many Affected by Hydrophobia. Columbia*, S. C., June 6.?Dr. J. .. B. Heise to-day shot a milch cow belonging to George Shelley, which if ., had a well developed and unmistakpT. able case of hydrophobia or rabp f ies. The symptoms developed sev;X eral days ago but the family used the milk up to last night. Dr. 4 fieise says no harm will come of this, the principal danger being from the saliva. &v.:' i ' George J. Howell, of Shandon, a suburb, is at the Pasteur institute . in Baltimore, undergoing treatment for bites, which in common with five others, he received Tuhrsday evening from a pet dog. The Pasteur people say the dog undoubtedly had rabies, None of the other parties bitten is ?;V yet ready, though, to go on for the Pasteur treatment. For the present they will rely upon a secret treat. ment which a lady living near Co?' ' lumbia claims to have had unvarying i;~: v success with for years.. It consists of taking a certain kind of pills. One of those bitten was Miss Corrye Williams, of Spartanburg, who was a guest in the Howell home while enroute to Spartanburg from Leesville college. She is now in Spartanburg. Killed Sliding Down Stairs. Spartanburg, June 5.?While sliding down the baluster of the stairway in the cotton mill at Tucapau to-day, Clarence Prince, aged nine years, fell to the floor, breaking his neck. He died instantly. The accident happened shortly after 12 o'clock as the boy was returning home after having carried dinner to his father. He straddled the railing at the stairway and started to slide down, when he lost his balance and fell. The coroner was notified, an inquest was held and a verdict of death by accidenl was returned.

Lnder, was marrieed to Mr. Herbert R. Smoak, of Roanoake, Va., last Wednesday at 12:30 p. m., at the home of the bride's parents on East Main street. The hall and parlor were decorated with palms, ferns, ' lilies and daisies. At the appointed hour the groom, accompanied by Mr. ? - ^ ' William Loss, or uoiumuia, its UC31 I man, met the bride at an improvised altar, erected in the parlor, and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. < D. W. Keller, of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church. The only attendants, other than the best man, were Miss Mamie Duncan, of Columbia; ; Miss Helen Linder, of Jonesville, and ' Mr. Charles Linder, a brother of the bride. Only the immediate family and a few intimate friends witnessed ' the ceremony. The bridal party left on the 3.22 train for Asheville, where < they will spend a few days before going to their home. The bride wore a gown of white mousseline satin, made princess entrain, and trimmed with Bertha, and yoke of rose point lace. Her travelling dress was made of Copenhagen blue rajah silk, with a hat of the same color. The out-of- ' town guests were Mrs. Lawson, of Spartanburg; Mr. Duncan Smoak, of Cedar Springs, and Misses Mamie and n?nnQn t\f Pftlnmhia The CJUlbU 1/uuvaii, VI. groom holds a responsible position with the Stone Printing and Manufacturing Company, of Roanoake, Va., . and made a fine impression here.

The following clipping is from the National Rip Saw, and is pub- , lished by request of a friend of ours: Wishing to get a living without hard work, I have leased commodious rooms in Mr. Lovemoney's block, corner of Ruin Street and Perdition Lane (next door to the undertaker,) where I shall continue my business of manufacturing drunkards, paupers, lunatics, beggars, criminals, and "dead beats," for sober and industrious people to support. Backed up by the law, I shall add to the number of fatal accidents, of diseases, of disgraceful quarrels, of riots, and of murders; my liquors are warranted to rob some of life; many of reason; most of property; and all of the true peace; to make * ?s ?: iainers ucnae, wives wiuuwo, v-midren orphans. I shall cause mothers to forget their infants; children to grow up in ignorance; young women to lose their priceless purity; young men to become loafers, gamblers, and "lewd fellows of the baser sort." Lady custome.rs supplied with beer as good at the. best "homebrewed, which will not intoxicate," but only make them siovenly, lazy, coarse and quarrelsome. Boys and girls are the raw rhaterial out of which I make drunkards, etc, Parents may help in this good work ; by always sending their children to buy the beer. On two hours notice I ( agree to put husbands in condition to reel home, break the furniture, beat their wives, and kick their children out of doorsr I shall also fit mechanics to spoil their work, be discharged, and become tramps. If one of the regular customers should be trying to reform, I will induce him again to take just i one glass, and start again on the i road to ruin. The money which he has been wasting in bread and books for his children will buy luxuries for me. And when his njoney i la ornno T uHll nprcnaHp him to TIITI in debt, and then collect the bill by attaching his wages. Orders promptly filled for fevers, scrofula, consumption or delirium tremens. In short, I agree to help bring upon all my customers in this world, debt, disgrace, despair and in the next world the death that never dies. Some have suggested that I die- play outside the door assorted specimens of my art?but that would blockade the street. A fine assortment of my manufactured wrecks may be seen inside, or at the stationhouse every morning. In the poorhouse, in the asylum, in the prisons < and on the, gallows. College of Charleston.

C., where he intended to spend . some time, was taken Friday night . about 10 o'clock at the Argyle hotel with a hemorrhage of the lungs, and had there been any delay in getting a physician the attack might have been fatal in a few minutes.

Trunks of College Girls Burned at Rock Hill. Rock Hill, June 3.?Last night about 12:45 o'clock fire broke out in a Southern railway baggage car in which were about 100 trunks and a number of valises belonging to departing Winthrop college girls. While the car was being loaded a lamp exploded and in a moment or two the inside of the car was in flames. The fire department responded to an alarm and the fire ? finniiv o-r>t nnHor onntrol. hut waa i in an j t?VM' ww ? , not until much damage had been done, both to the baggage and the ear. The contents of the trunks and valises which were inside the car are practically ruined. The damages will aggregate about $12,000. The roof of the car was almost entirely consumed and the loss on the car will probably reach $2,000. The railway company is liable for damages to the amount of $100 on each trunk. Lee Branson Has Returned. Florence, June 3.?R. Lee Branson, formerly assistant cashier of the Bank of Florence, who mysteriously disappeared from this city several weeks ago, returned to Florence at 8 o'clock to-night, coming from Richmond or some other Northern point. Mr. Bjrunson had telegraphed a relative of his coming, and a number of his friends met him at the depot and gave him a cordial recep tion, expressing themselves as Demg pleased at his return. Physically, Mr. Brunson looked badly. Two Fools Suicide. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 3.?Sebastian Guyla, a clerk in a wholesale liquor house in this city and Mrs. Anna Karese, a married woman, whose husband had deserted her, entered into a death pact today. Both were found dead in a room in the home of the woman at Kingston, near here. They had made all preparations for the tragedy, being dressed in holiday attire and wearing buttonhole bouquets. Both left letters saying they loved each other, but owing to the fact that the husband of the woman was still, alive they realized that they could not get married and they concluded to give up life. The man shot the woman first and then turned the revolver upon himself. A Newspaper Success. Once while discussing the subject of colossal fortunes a philosopher was asked for his definition of a rich man. His reply was "a man who has as much money as he wants." The same wide latitude might be allowed in seeking a dennition of the word "success." When we refer to a "successful man" our thoughts naturally revert to a man who has accumulated a great fortune; we picture in our mind some man who is at the head' of a great railway system or there comes up before us the vision of a man directing the affars of a great manufacturing or mercantile establishment, with thous90joj am 0* Suipuaq aidoad jo spun of his will and mind. But it is here that we misinterpret the meaning of the word "success." Success means the favorable or prosperous termination of anything attempted?the attainment of a proposed object. Thus the artisan who attains perfection in his profession or the farmer who brings his lands up to the maximum of their productive capacity is a success. The obscure teacher who conducts a prosperous and flourishing rural school is as much of a success as the head master of some great institution of learning. We are not of those who wait to stnew flowers on the graves of the departed, but prefer to scatter them at the feet of. the living, and we are led to make these reflections by a recent visit we made to the office of Brother A. W. Knight, of the Bamberg Herald. Editor Knight is in every sense a success as the publisher of a weekly newspaper. In the mechanical equipment of his office he has set a standard that few publishers, whether large or small, ever attain and none surpass because in point of design and excellence it is the paragon of perfection. He has just installed a linotype of the very latest design and every press in his office is driven^by an individual electric motor. He adheres with scrupulous strictness to the time honored rule of "having a place for everything and keeping everything in its place." The interior of his office is such a model of cleanliness that one may handle any article in the establishment with white kid gloves and not defile them?a statement that to most publishers will seem incredible, but wiich is, nevertheless true. To complete the sum total of his success Editor Knight has just built and moved into his own office building which in point of beauty and design is the handsomest structure in nis town. It was on The Bamberg Herald that the editor of this paper began his newspaper career and we feel not only a pardonable pride in the prosperity of our old alma mater of journalism, but rejoice with Brother Knight in the heyday of his success. It has been a great change from The Herald's old hand presses of 12 years ago to its electrically driven machines of to-day and if the story of the transformation were told in detail it would no doubt read like a page from the "Arabian Nights." Editor Knight has "made good;" as the publisher of a weekly newspapeh he has attained the full measure of success, and the standard he has set for his contemporaries is high?very high. ?Dillon Herald. Building Completed. The new building for the Bamberg graded school is completed, and it will possibly be turned over by the contractor, Mr. Grandy, this week. The architect is expected here tonight, and the matter of final settlement will come up. The flow of the artesian well at the school has been restored by Mr. J. M. Jennings, and everything will be in fine shape for I the opening of school this fall. i COUNTRY HIGHWAYS, Value of Good Roads and Cost of Poor Ones. WHAT THE FARMER LOSES. No Tax So Great as Unimproved Highways, Which Drive People to the City, Wear Out the Horses and Decrease Value of Property. In an address on the improvement of country highways at a good roads convention a speaker said: The improvement of country roads is I chiefly an economical question, relating principally to the waste of effort in hauling over bad roads, the saving in money, time and energy in hauling over good ones, the initial cost of improving roads and the difference in the cost of maintaining good and bad ones. A good road economizes time and force in transportation between the farms and the market, reduces wear on horses, harness and vehicles, increases the value of real estate contiguous to the roads and brings prices for farm products, because they can be marketed at less expense. Rural homes are sought after along good roads. Wagon highways are the great: An* AHfnulne nf nnmmop?i riviliTfltlOD C31 ai IC11CO VI vvutJUvavvi v is Judged by the condition of the roads. No tax is as great on the taxpayer as bad roads. A bad road is a heavy tax on those who use it and the worse the road the heavier the tax. Bad roads cause a decay of agriculture. They impose the greatest of all burdens on the farmer. The roads cause people to gather in the cities. Bad roads wear out the horses very rapidly, thus detracting very largely from the profits of the farm. , The man with the hoe?the farmerwants good roads so that he may bring his produce to market and his family THE COSTLY BOAD. ahd himself to the neighboring town with less expenditure of time, wear and tear and trouble. In sections of the country where the farmer has good roads he would not lose them for more than their cost and go back to the old system of having to haul through the mud and over the stones. He finds that the value of his property is increased, and he can haul two?yes, three?times greater ioaa in iesa uiue to market and that he is richer and better because of the good road which connects his property with the neighboring town. This cost of hauling is a heavy tax on the farmers, much of which could be saved. The amount paid out which could be avoided by good roads is absolutely lost. The farmers are unable to recover it in any way. It is a part of their expense which they must deduct from the gross returns on the sale of their products, and the only way that it can be avoided Is by the construction of roads that would enable farmers to haul heavier loads in less time. Narrow tires and mud roads should speedily be sent hand in band, as it were, "glimmering through the dream of things that were." ?0 Roads For Automobilists. It appears to have occurred to many that separate roads for automobiles to travel over Is the solution vf the great problem caused by reckless motorists. The question is one which Is now receiving a good deal of attention, and numerous projects for the establishment of motor speedways have been projected or talked about says Good Roads Magazine. The emperor of Germany, who Is an enthusiastic automobilist has taken up the question and as an experiment Is having two roads built through his estates. These roadways are twenty-three miles long and thirty-six feet broad and are constructed with cement They are used exclusively by automobiles, and are intended as an experiment The success or failure of this experiment will be noted with much, interest in the United StatM. Country Auto Mail Service. In the comities of northeastern Ohio and the level portions of Pennsylvania north of Pittsburg a movement Is on toot TOT toe estaousmuem vi a j. ui ui automobile mail service. Fairly good roads and the absence of many steep hills make an automobile by far the quickest method of transportation. It is claimed that, in addition to the greater rapidity of the service, the first cost of the machines will be more than offset by the greatly reduced number of carriers needed. British Roads For Autos. A syndicate has been formed for the purpose of making roads out of London for the use of motor cars.
