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.”

Quite a number of friends and rela

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,

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.

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

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
