The primary is only three weeks away, when the people of South Carolina will select officers from governor down. Vote without passion and prejudice, and select the very best men. It is pleasant to note that the voters generally are not getting excited over the candidacy of anybody. Frankly, now. do you know of any newspaper or voter who votes ' against the dispensary 01 bar rooms when he has the chance, who favors the election of Mr. McLeod as governor? There's the rub. Mr. McLeod may be a local optionist all right, but his votes will come from people who favor the sale of * liquor?either through bar rooms or dispensaries. The News and Courier has always advocated the sale of whiskey, and it has come out for Mr. McLeod, and he may well pray to be delivered from such friends. .The people of South Carolina and the News and Courier are not likely to be in accord on this subject, or on any other for that matter. White Man Kills Negro. Columbus, Ga., August 7.?In a battle with a negro armed with a hatchet, J. Homer Knowles, a depot employee here, was victor to-day while q hundred persons looked on. Knowles used a pistol and shot the negro, Ben Tillman, twice, sending him to die on the floor of the union passenger station. The negro had provoked a quarrel by seizing a hatchet and striking at the white ?-* n*oo in o PArnPr liiau. UUU n ico nao tu t* wa uv? .

Albany, Ga., August 7.?Believing he was shooting at a burglar, Ivy Land, aged 22, after midnight this morning, shot and killed his brother, Quintus Land, aged 20, at their home here. Ivy was aroused from sleep by the screaming of a woman in the neighborhood and with his shotgun ran to her assistance. Shortly afterwards he heard another wo man screaming in the direction of his own home. He ran back just in time to see his younger brother, who also had been aroused and was hurrying to investigate the cause of the trouble, leap from a window of their home. He firM, killing his brother instantly. Tainted Money. \ John A. Bernhard, a local lawyer, was recently assigned to defend a man charged with stealing a gold watch from a minister, says the Newi ark Star. Bernhard believed the story told by the man and worked hard in the case, although he had no expectation of getting any money out of his client. After listening to an impassioned appeal from Bernhard asserting his client's innocence, the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty. The client was effusive with thanks and regretted he had no money to give the lawyer for his services. "That's all right," said Bernhard, "some time when you get hold of a $20 bill bring it to me and we'll call it square." Bright and early the next morning in walked the man with a $20 bill. "Why, where did you get this so quickly?" askea the astonished Bernhard. "Oh, I sold the minister"? watch last night," was the calm reply. Bernhard did not accept the money. v WORLD'S VISIBLE SUPPLY. , Amount in Sight is 1,796,062, Against \\ 2,285,459 Last Year.

The goat, w: cat and dog sometimes contract the to disease from living in stables with or glandered animals. Pigs may con- th tract the disease by inoculation. Cat- at tie and chickens are immune. The disease attacks the mucous membrane of the nose and extends to the wind pipe and lungs. When the lymphatic co glands of the surface of the body are br affected, the disease is known as tv farcy. The disease is transmitted to of other animals, including man, by in- th ocui&tion through wounds or mucous ea membranes. There are other ways ca in which animals may be affected, rii such as common drinking troughs, ea feed boxes, manger, hitch racks, har- ca ness and any equipment used around be an infected stable. Svmntoms: Glanders may occur ot in the acute or chronic form, or may I ar attack the surface of the body in the or form of farcy. The acute form of as glanders begins with a chill, high pc fever, the mucous membrane of the fo nose is at first hot and dry, and soon in there is a watery discharge, which ni later becomes bloody. Nodules and ev ulcers form on the mucous membrane "1 of the nose and discharge pus. These et changes in the nose may take place ev in two or three days. The patients cl; become very weak and rapidly lose th flesh. "" di The first symptoms of chronic pr glanders are not easily recognized, m owing to the absence of distinct symptoms in the first stages of the so disease. First you will notice a wa- to tery discharge from one or both nos- bi trils, which later on becomes sticky in and of a yellowish green colored pus pa mixed with blood coming from ulcers is on the inside of the nose. n? When glanders affects the skin, it a is called farcy. One of the main di symptoms may be the swelling of the th joint with engorgement of the limb us and nodules may form along the line th of the lymphatics. These nodules th vary in size from a pea to a hen's egg re and have a tendency to soften and co discharge pus, after which thex heal m rapidly. Other nodules may form tb following the same course as the pre- ai vious ones. tu Prevention: All glandered ani- ta mals should be immediately de- da stroyed, and not allowed to come in it contact with healthy animals through pr stables, common drinking troughs, th harness or any other stable equip- ta ment. All suspicious animals should n< be isolated until examined by a of ?? I n; competent veterinarian. imaicu buildings should be thoroughly disinfected with a five per cent, carbolic by acid solution or a one to five hundred hi corrosive sublimate solution. Then cc all wood work should be white c washed. m In doubtful cases of glanders, the at mallein test is given. This test in should only be given by a qualified or veterinarian and until it is determin- of ed whether a suspicious case is or is kj not glanders, the animal should be Ui kept apart from all other animals, fo Remember that the disease is oc- th casionally transmitted to the human H and is incurable in man or beast. fo R. 0.

Dresden, Tenn., August 7.?Three >ung brothers named Alexander, afr having slain the son of a neigh>r in the course of a picnic near enton, Tenn., held the pursuing owd at bay until they made their cape, but were afterwards captured r deputy sheriffs and placed in jail Kenton, where they were threaten1 with lynching by infuriated neigh>rs last night. The affair grew out ' a crap game. Robert Simmons, ., having won the money, mounted s horse to ride away when one of e Alexanders, it is said, seized the idle, another stabbed Simmons and hen he fell to the earth the third lexander rushed up and beat him ith a club. The picnic party rushed the rescue but the three Alexands drew revolvers and got away for e time. Fear of lynching has >ated. Risks in Patent Medicines. \ It must be frankly recognized in >nsidering patent medicines that, oadly and philosophically speaking, ro risks have to be taken with all them: the risk that the medicine, ough a useful remedy in this disuse, may not fit your particular ,se or stage of it; and the further 3k that you may not have the disuse you think you have, in which se, of course, the poor medicine will s a hopeless misfit. Bearing these facts in mind, it is >viously only the course of prudence Ld good sense to avoid all powerful ' drastic remedies of this class, such ;, if they do not do good, have the >wer to do harm. Remedies, therere, which are advertised to cure imediately, "like magic," "over ght" that are guaranteed to cure ery case or money refunded; that lave never been known to fail," c., are good things to let alone, en if you give credence to their aims. Usually, as a matter of fact, e claim of these "sure cure" remees are based on one of two things: evarications, or some narcotic, ost commonly opium or alcohol. There is also another universal urce of risk which it is only fair mention, and this is the impossility of knowing what you are takg. The vast majority of so-called itent medicines have nothing that paten' -d about them except the ime or trademark. Really to patent remedy it would be necessary to sclose its ingredients and to prove at they have never before been r?f this disease: and I^U 1V/1 CUV VUl v Vi. , is, for obvious reasons, is the last ing that the proprietors of these medies would think of doing. The imposition of the remedy is their ost valued secret, which naturally ey guard with most jealous care, id it is inevitable in the very nare of the case that any one who kes a dose of it is taking it in the trk. If he chooses to run that risk, is one of his inalienable rights and ivileges; but let him remember at?to paraphrase Voltaire?he is king a drug of which he knows Jthing for a disease of which he ten knows less, for his guess at its iture may be entirely wrong. Not even an analysis of the remedy a government chemist will help m. because the rigid secrecy as to its imposition, which is maintained for immercial reasons, enables the anufacturers to change the formula any time, according to the changes l the prices of the different drugs, the denunciation of one or other them as injurious. Some wellaown patent medicines in the lited States have changed their rmulas three or four times within e last five or six years.?Woods utchinson, M. D., in the Delineator r September.

Norfolk, Va., August 6.?His passion for sight-seeing proved too strong for W. T. Mutter, of Portsmouth, and it resulted in losing his 17-year-old daughter, at Elizabeth City, N. C., after the police had wrested from John McClanny, with whom she had eloped. The father, who went to Elizabeth City, when he received word that the police had found the eloping pair, locked the girl in a room at a hotel. He had reproved McClanny, and it was supposed the latter had given up all thought of wedding the girl. Mr. Mutter started on a sight-seeing trip about town and almost immediately Mr. McClanny drove up in a buggy and effected a rescue of the girl. They drove to Camden, N. C., and were married. Farmers' Congress. On August 31st and September 1st and 2nd the farmers of this State are invited to assemble at Clemson Col lege for the purpose of holding a round-up institute or congress. There will be assembled at this time at the college some of the best experts along the various lines of farming that can be found in the United States. These men will talk to the farmers and give them the benefit of their experience and study. They have been selected for this purpose not only for their scientific training, but also because they have had a large amount of practical experience in their special line and thus will be able to give practical science. In addition to the men from outside of the State a number of the most successful farmers of this State have also been invited and have consented to give their experience for the benefit' of their brother farmers. But while both of these classes of speakers insure that those in attendance will receive valuable information, it is hoped that all who attend will realize that the greatest good can come out of such meetings only by a free discussion of the subjects among the farmers themselves. It is therefore hoped that those in attendance will consider that this is their institute, and will not only ask questions, but also will not hesitate to give their own experience. Only by so doing can this congress be made the success it should be. After all, all that the set speech can do is to suggest ideas ana that speech is the best that arouses the greatest discussion. But if there were no set speeches, any farmer who comes to the college with the right determination could not fail to reap rich benefit. It is but right that every farmer of this State should be as familiar with the college as he is with his own farm. This knowledge can only be gained by a visit to the college of two or three days and a close inspection of this magnificent educational plant tnat they have built. Every department will be open for their inspection with each man of the faculty in his place, thus affording an opportunity of becoming personally acquainted with the work and with the man. Of these this last is perhaps the most valuable. When you have known a man personally, you are much more willing to accept advice and suggestions from him. At this meeting it is hoped to form some permanent organization so that in the future this may be a real congress with regularly accredited delegates. This State needs some such organization where the - - 3 -* J 4 business of farming is aiscusseu m all its phases. The object of this meeting is for the improvement and instruction of those who attend and all who have a desire for such are invited. It is not a pleasure gathering and while all will be done to make the three days pleasant, it is hoped that this pleasure will come from interest in work. Those who are not interested in the work of the college and institutes and are bent only upon a frolic will make a mistake in coming and are not invited. Strict order will be maintained and ample provision has been made to that end. The railroads of the State have been asked to give special rates for this occasion and have intimated that such will be done. As soon as the information is received from them as to rates it will be published. All who can had better come via Calhoun. Tne college is one mile from I fiaihoun on the main line of the J Southern and two miles from Cherrys Station on the Blue Ridge Railroad. The hack fare from either J station is twenty-five cents and ample hacks will be furnished by the liveryman, Mr. Clinkscales, to accomodate those desiring to ride. Rooms and beds will be furnished by the college free, but it will be well for each person to bring their own sheets, pillow cases and a light blanket, as the college cannot sup- j ply these. j Meals will be supplied at the mess- ; hall at thirty-five cents for single meals or three for one dollar. The cv " ' - -- college does not expect any profit from these meals and will put the rull value in the meals and service. After reaching here a maximum expenditure of four dollars should cover every legitimate expense?it will hardly cost any one more than ten dollars including all expenses from home and return from the most distant part of the State. Upon arrival at the college each person is to register with the clerk who will assign rooms, issuing a ticket to same. Be sure and register and receive this ticket, as no one will be allowed a room who has not a ticket. This is necessary to prevent confusion and preserve order. The meal hours will be: Breakfast, 7:30; dinner, 1; supper, 7:30. Promptness at meals will be necessary, as it will not be possible to serve them irregularly. The full pro gram will be publisned in the next few days, so commence now to plan the trip. PROF. D. N. BARROW, Superintendent Extension Work. Taxed for Selling Malt Toast. Branchville, August 6.?The revenue officer paid Branchville a visit' today and, upon investigation, found the following merchants had handled Malt Toast, made by the Germania Brewing Company, of Charleston, S. C. The fees he got out 01 the following were as follows: W. W. All, 510.01; W. P. Appleby, 517; L. W. Westberry, $16; F. A. Bruce & Brother, $30; S. A. Folk, $12.51; Neil Steedley, $47.20. For all fines levied the merchants had to make out postoffice money orders payable to Micah Jenkins. Tomb in Rear of Costly Home. Residents of the fashionable Coeur d'Alene district, near Venice, will present a petition to the board of trustees of Venice, asking that E. F. Kelner, a wealthy mining man, be restrained from completing a tomb for himself and wife in the rear of his beautiful summer mansion. Mr. Kelner declares that the idea is common in the South. He stated yesterday that he desired to be buried in the rear of his beautiful mansion in order that the home, which he built at the cost of more than $25,000, might not be disposed of by his children. "It is a matter is sentiment with me," said Mr. Kelner. "What is life without sentiment? The erection of a tomb near a home is common in tne South. I conceived the idea there. On my last trip to Arizona I brought a box containing earth from my father's grave. This will be placed inside the tomb. I came to your beautiful southland to make my home, and it is near my home that I desire to be buried. Another reason is that if I and my wife are laid at rest here our children will never dispose of the home." Mr. Kelner's plan is to erect the concrete tomb one foot below the surface of the ground. It will contain two vaults large enough to contain two hermetically sealed coffins. The interior of the tomb will be studded with ore from the valuable collection owned by Mr. Kelner. The coffins, which will cost approximately $700 each, will be of Arizona copper. The name of Mr. Kelner and his wife will be inscribed with gold ore. The ore which will be placed in the vaults is valued at several thousand dollars.? Los Angeles Examiner.
