Qosrsntor Heyward. Kichard Carroll, in Southern Plough- msn (negro). We would be glad to see Gov. Heyward in o the United States senate. We believe that he would do more good and bring more lasting good to South Carolipa than any man that can be elected. He is a Democrat from the heart. He is a white man; bnt he if among the best whits men. On his large plantations in CoUeton County he is worshipped by the negroes. They believe in him and they trust him. He has never had any trouble or friction with them. One negro who lives on bis plantation has been heard to say: M I hope that the governor will leave Columbia and come back here and live among his people where he be longs. We want him here, and he would rather he among us than be yonder in Columbia.’' A prominent white man said when Gov Heyward was elected: W I am glad to say that South Carolina has a gentleman governor onoe more.” " Branch Office of Dr D.

Mrs P C Crcsby and two little daughters, Allie and Ethel, has re turned home after a very pleasant visit with friends at Meinhord, Ga. I heard a candidate inquiring about the peach crop, but if we have very much more cold weather, like we had last week, I am afraid the candidates won't eat any of our peaches. Miss Carrie Weekly, teacher of the Snider school, and little neioe, Ger trude Arnsdoroff, visited her parents at Saikehatchie Saturday and San day last Master Earnest Olabb, of Charles ton is spending sometime with friends and relatives near here. Messrs George and Walter Week ley, of Hampton, paid this section i flying visit last week. Mr and Mrs S J Yarn were the guests ol Mr Clem Kinard Sunday last -—- Quite a number of friends and rela tive gathered at the home of J M Benton last Thursday night the 22nd to celebrate his birthday sapper. The young folks gathered in the parlor and amused themselves in playing all kinds of games, while the old folks amnsed themselves in talking of the past, when they use to be young. 1 know some of them wish they were yonng again. We sure had a grand time. We wish Mr Benton's birth day wonld come a little oftener or others would have such things when their birthdrv did oome. But the husband would say, •‘wife I would have a big dinner, buf I have sneb, and such a piece of wbrk to do, and if I have a birthday dinner, I would not get that work done and it might rain before I can finish it And the wife wonld say, M yee, but it takes a lot of eggs and sugar and several other things that wonld last a week or two, to cook for such things, and yon know that eggs are bringing a cent a piece. Like as if a dozen or two eggs or a pound or two of sugar, or a day’s work wonld break them __ ft V np. P M Yarn, one of Snider's hnstling fanners, had business in Waiterboro last week. ' AIM EDITOR’S APPEAL. To Brother Publisher! In Behalf of a Lost Six-Year Old Buy. If the editor of every paper in the central west will republish these lines there is no question but what Dr S. L. Byers of Seeleyville, Ind., will re cover his little son who was stolen from his home one year ago last May Dr Byers has spent his entire re sources in search for his child and unless the big hearted members of the press come to his assitance his ion will probably grow up an outlaw and an outcast It is believed that if this article is reprinted in the news papers it will uncover the lost boy’s concealment and return him to his dis tracted parents. In doing this the profession of jonrnalism will be fnl- filling one of its highest destinies. There is a reward of $o00 awaiting any information that will lead to the boy’s recovery. No questions will be asked and if the abductor himself wonld deliver the boy to his parents he wonld not be molested. The be reaved parents are heartbroken with grief and want only their child. This appeal was projected originally by a publisher who saw Dr Byers only onoe, has no personal interest in his qnest other than the bond of sym pathy that makes world akin, and is inspired from the belief that the lost boy can only be found through the united effort of the country press of which he is prond to be a member. Following is a description of the boy: Richmond Byers, if alive, was 6 years old last July, is of light com plexion; has gray eyes, l<-ft eye notici- bly crossed, has a small V shaped nick in the edge of the left ear, has a sharp chin and a narrow, projecting forehead. Be is rather small for his age, and is nnosuaily bright and in telligent, talking after the manner of a boy much older. (Exchanges please copy.) , ' Bryan-Crosby.

On, Holding Life Cheep. Dr McDow of Lancaster, who shot Mr Witherspoon, was convicted of assault and battery and a four months’ imprisonment or a fine of $250 was imposed. McDow had two pistole .on his person when*he shot Witherspoon and he stated that he was carrying one of them for another doctor. He has killed Witherspoon and other doctor, so far as he is con cerned, and yet $250 lets him go •oott free. Truly life is cheap. He should be sent to the penitentiary with no alternative. He now thinks that he .can mnrder some one else and pay out, Snoh sentences pat preQiiams on men with money. If it had been some poor devil who oonld not pay the $260 he wonld have to go tb the'penitentiary for four months, bnt not so with McDow, for he oan raise the cash. That is not M eqaai rights to all,” but is special privi leges to the man with the money. That is the reason why the rich have too more respect and fear for oor laws. Their money is greater than the laws, end it is no wonder that life is so cheap.—Pee Dee Advemte The Track Badly Injured.
