Really there are getting to be too many candidates for governor. True there are some mighty good men announced as candidates, but it is impossible to support them all. Unless our mind changes we shall likely sup? port R. I. Manning, of Sumter. " He is well qualified for the position, and we think it is his time to have another show* for the position. The governor took an oath to abide the result of the primary and support the nominees of the Democratic party. This oath he filed in writing when he became a candidate for governor. Later he took tbe oath when he voted in the primary. If he has violated an oath in not obeying the will of the people and appointing H. C. Folk as Master of Bamberg county, does not an action for perjury lie against him, just as against one who swears falsely in the courts? Mr. W. \V. Srnoak, who has edited the Walterboro Press and Standard for several years, has sold his paper to. Mr. R. M. Jeffries. Mr. Smoak will go to Madisonville, Ky., where he will edit and manage the Hustler, a semi-weekly paper of four pages, seven columns. Madison is a thriving city of 6,000 in the western part of Kentucky and the field there is broader than the one at Walterboro. Frankly we hate to see a newspaper man like Smoak leave South Carolina. , He has ability and courage and has always stood for the best things in life. Especially has he made a record in behalf of law and order and the upbuilding of his coun ty and State. Every movement looking to a greater Colleton *has had his hearty support, and he has been connected in a personal way with the county tair ana otner puunu tuieiprises. We believe he is making a mistake in going to Kentucky, for we expect the lower section of South Carolina to develop rapidly in the next ten years. We have a fine climate and we have the lands which will produce almost anything, and to us the future looks brigfit. The iinprovenient in Bamberg and Colleton in the past ten years has been wonderful. but it has not stopped, it is going forward every day. Low lands which were worth only a dollar or two an acre ten years ago are now cleared up and drained and fine crops are being grown thereon. But wherever he goes, here's wishing him mighty well. We welcome Mr Jeffries as a member of the press gang, but we want to assure him that Smoak has set a pace in Walterboro that will be hard to follow. Fire on Colleton 1*001- Farm. Walterboro. Feb. 27.?The Colle ton county poor farm was visited by a fire Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock, entailing the loss of the superintendent's kitchen, residence, smoke house and store room. By heroic efforts the flames were con- j fined to these buildings, which were near to each other. The corn house j and several of the inmates' kitchens were saved. The fire originated in the kitchen and caught from the stove flue. Only a small part of the furniture was saved and this belonged to the superintendent. I. W. Dopson. The buildings were the property of the county. Mr. Dopson s loss was $ouu, with 110 insurance. The county's loss probably reaches as high as $ 1,000. Mr. Dopson is now occupying two of the cottages. Some people make light oftrouble others keep it dark. / THE BULGARIAN ARMY. I B( I 1 Organization Moves Like Clockwork Ca and Shows Fine Discipline. A correspondent of the London Telegraph writes that the Bulgarian se] army is a wonderful organization and js moves like clockwork. Continuing iv he says: When driving through the moun- un tains I have been frequently aston- an ished to see long lines of ox carts heavily laden with army stores plod ding along and wondered now sucn y primitive transport could be adequate su to a modern army. ha The needful explanation was af- tu; forded me at Kostendil. where I have to had occasion to see one of these commissariats in full operation. All the ]10 ox carts in the adjoining departments at had been requisitioned to the num- to ber of 1,000. They were then divid- ca ed into five sections of 200 carts t)U each. The drivers, with their whips. m( astrakhan or ordinary sheep wool th; caps and long sheepskin or goat hair j?j coats, look picturesque beside their CY< two small Greek oxen or African buf- th< faloes. Every day 200 cars are laden aii and they start away at a slow pace, the driver walking before his team. jnJ humming an air or smoking a cigar- ,jai ette. He thus trudges up and down the mountain roads for a distance of tjn fifteen kilometers, or nine and a half ^ miles, which is one day s marcn. men ^ he light a fire for himself at the road- ne, side, has a warm meal, feeds his oxen ]3n or buffaloes and lies down to sleep iet on straw near the cart or in a barn,,.^ if a farmhouse is near. Next day he covers another nine taj or ten miles. Here his load is taken into horse-drawn carts, which carry j it more rapidly to the nearest fighting troops, perhaps twenty miles away. ex. The teamster then returns, taking sjs two days, as he had on the outward trip and on the fifth day rests while me his cart is being reloaded. Only bread was thus transported 0f from Kostendil. It was in good, ter round, appetizing loves, weighing er; two pounds of half wheat, half rye mc bread, which remains soft and palatable for fifteen days. I had par- t0l, taken of it myself, as no other was a , available. The entire population lives jes on this bread now. Xo one thinks 'Du1 of baking any other kind during time jn of war. cIe Life in these places is now entirely t^i absorbed by the* war. Two-thirds of rjg the shops are shut and the owners cra are carrying rifles and wearing uni- ] forms. All bakeries have been re- b 1 quisitioned for the army and are on baking army bread day and night. int Women and children are helping. ver School-boys and students wear neat 'ne, uniforms and help where they can. rer The students are clerks at the rail- jar way stations or public offices and act as as police and constables.

G. th( Wilson, a well known young man, of 0f Spartanburg, has been committed to Siu the county jail on a charge of ob- is taining money by false pretence.

There is a universal notion that any i rious injury to or about the brain incidental to sure death. Popular- to < this is exemplified by gum-shoe ar- are ts and Apaches who brain their whi fortunate victims with blackjacks 3Ut d sandbags, and by suicidal lunatics acr, 10 shoot out their brains by snap- up ig the pistol against their temples. abh >t how many sandbagged men ever pre ccumb? How numerous are the pre lf-shot, wAld-be suicides that ac- cial ally recover! It is truly unusual cas( find them completely decimated.

True enough, most of bee am die, but many of them remain (29 ve long enough to tell all about n0n a affair to prevent the police look- bee * for the perpetrator of a dark and ann stardly deed. tori Thus, it may be realized how con- f0r uously the mind of man will fur- (fr( ar the vital activities of the body. spe( a thinks steadily, he talks con- sia^ ctedly, his pulse beats violently, he jnst bathes, he lives long after the bul- ern: has plowed an extra furrow ]0ca 'ough his brow.

This young man fell into 120 : hands of certain hilarous stu- Pro] its, and, while saturated more or a br s with their open-hearted hospi- One ity, made so bold as to boast of ally prowess as the only original liv- ture ; human ostrich in captivity. Chal- mor ged by a wager of cheese and wit! all beer, he sat himself down and Ii allowed 208 various and sundry engi icles, consisting of nails, tacks, tour .'S, watch chains, horseshoe nails, it s( ife blades, handles, tins, dog col- eart s and two and one-half ounces how broken glass. In his account of Yet s marvelous human goat, Prof, pun lstead has attached a photograph ver\ the contents of the stomach as re- phy< ved by him five days after this dou inken saturnalia of nails- and stor idles, knives and chains.
