S INKING FUND 1
MISSION. ,
If there's any one in the County i
or State who lias any clear cut idea
of the objects and purposes of this
Sinking Fund Commission and its
agents, tint one would do our people (
a service to give the test of us the 1
wink?let us on to the racket. None i
i we've seen understands fully its ue
tions. The State papers can give no
satisfaction. The letters from members
of the board do not clear up the
matter in the least; in fact they add
other snarls to the entanglement.
What in the world can be the matter?
Lot us see what we can find
out about this "reform moveinent!"
Sections GO and 01 of thcOeneral
Statutes of '82 reads;
"Section GO. The Secretary of
State sha'l take charge of all proper .
. * I ty of the State, the care and custody
of which is not otherwise provided
for by law. lie shall hold the
same subject to the directions and
instructions of the Commissioners of
tlie Sinking Fund.
' Suction 61. Hereafter no grants
of vacant land shall bo issued except
Jor mint; and all vacant lands shall
bo likewise subject to the directions
.s and instructions of the Commission*
of the Sinking Fund."
The Secretary of State, what says
he of this business ? In the Columbia
Weekly Register of August 23,
e o o '
he tells us, 1st. "No vacant land
In s been sold." 2nd. "Only aban
doned lands have been sold and that
strictly according to law."
Vacant lands are what kind ?
Abandoned lands arc what kind ?
Slate Land Agent J as. (i. (liobs,
defines thus in the same paper, next
column to .J. F. Tin bill, Secretary of
State's letter. "Vacant und is land
that has never been granted, which
still is the property of the State. Of
this there is little left. Ahandonki>
i.and is land belonging to parties
who have for ten or more years paid
no taxes on it?generally for the
reason t/uit it was not cousidervd to
he icorth its taxes."
That seems plain as day, so what
can it be that is raising this fuss?
I'ooplo ought to bo able to under
stand well enough that State law
and the way they sav it is being
carried out.
But tukon in connection with what
is being done, it is hard, lmrd indeed,
to sec through. In other counties
than this, there are strange reports
afloat. Dr. James Mcintosh, a
responsible citizen of Newberry, is
authorfty for charges of mismanagement
of this Sinking Fund business
in his county. State lands are being
sold without sufficient and in most
cases without any advertisement of
^ v the sale, and speculated upon by
if. agents; bought by these for from
fifteen to twenty cents an acre and
sold for one dollar per acre. In
Clarendon County, it was, that "an
investment of #1,700 in 0,701) acres
of land in six months cleared the
purchaser $8,000. The purchaser at
inc mutes sate was .ins. u. Minos
and others, at the second, from those
was G. W. Hopkins, of Michigan.
Deeds are recorded in the office of
('lerk of Court of Clarendon.
Mr. Gibhs in his letter to the Register
quoted ahove, says: "After the
passage of said Act (of R^c, '89) the
Sinking Fund Board came to the
conclusion that the expense of lookingafter
such lands would be so
heavy that they were not willing to
incur it. I then proposed to them
that I would find these lands at my
own risk and expense and yet remunerated
J or my outlay out of the sale.
Thin iron ay feed to." Yes, the Administration
gave the chance and
Mr. Gibbs seized it. i
Those aie some of the reasons of
the State papers and tho officials' .
letters give so litt'o satisfaction and
ease of mind to our land owners.
. The Board does not seem to know
what its agents are doing, although
it claims to have bogn enquiring into
tho matter.
Horry is somewhat farther re^
moved from the public gaze than
Newberry and Clarendon. But
much concerning this Sinking Fund
scandal can be learned in this far
away corner of the State. Wo hope
it may not bo because of this fact.
Mr. Campbell, land agent for this ,
coui.ty has found gome few acres of
abandoned lands which has been advertised
and sold.
About 1,500 of so called vacant'
land has been surveyed by this agont.
Most, if not all of it, has, without advertisement,been
offeredinprivatcsalc
for nominal prices. 'jLterUdn gentle- 1
. men wished to straighten their righta /
t
its *_, .# ,.i.. i ' ak - > '
conM
lo about 1,200 .teres of this land.
Mr. Campbell went to Columbia and
brought back his instructions and
papers presumably from Mr. (libbs.
These gentlemen know nothing of Mr.
Campbell's trip to Columbia. When
he returned he brought instructions
to take between seven and eight hun
ilred dollars for the land given in
consideration of the grant for it. But
grants for all the tracts wore found
notwithstanding1 Mr. Campbell said
it "was utterly impossible for him to
bo mistaken" in saying that no
grants were ever issued for these
lands Two books had been lost j
when some of the records wore moved
to Greenville during the war, Mr.
Cutndbell said* All their land was
on that book, he was told' No vacant
land has been soid; but some- |
bodv is being paid like fun for doing
nothing, and sonic others are made
uneasy while those somebodies are
doing it.
Some ancient history is being
brought down to us in the fact. Tax 1
farming, according to the Roman
law,, seems not dead yet.

CALLED DOWN BY A VETERAN.
Talbert's Son Rebuked for Slandering
HamptonThe
State.
There was quite an exciting inci
dent at the close of the county campaign
meeting at Camp Ground yes-!
terilay afternoon, which came near
ending in a personal encounter betcen
an old soldier and a young man
who made slighting remarks about
thorocord of General I fade Hampton.
The parties were Gapt. W. II.
Stack and a son of W. J. Talbert,
who is tbo bookkeeper at the penitentiary.
It seems that at the close of tho
regular speaking of the county candidates,
young Talbert was invited
by the chairman to deliver an Alii-!
mice address. In his speech he took !
Occasion to attack (Jon. Wade Hanip-!
while referring to his defeat for the
Senate, saying that ho had made no
better soldier than the men who
formed the rank and file of his army.
Hampton, ho said, had merely had to
remain in the rear and send forward
his commands, flis men did the
fighting.
At the jucture Capt. W. H. tttaek,
who has all along been an ardent
urn ;A _ i i
i iiiuiHiuu), ami wno 13 a gallant old
warrior, with an everlasting love for
the commanders of the Confederate
forces, and who is still a powerful
man, arose excitedly and said: "Just
stop that, sir, I cannot allow you to
speak of Gen. vVadc Hampton like
that in my presence, for he was a
"JJo True to Youi
Y, 8. C., Tf
brave a man as ever wore the Confederate
grey, and today boars the
marks of SRbre strokes made by the
Yankees in hand to hand tight.*'
Talbeit asked him if ho did riot
think himself as good a soldier as
Wade Hampton.
v'apt. Stack?No, by? , I don't
sir!
With this the captain made at the
young slanderer with lus umbrella
and would have made short work of
hi 111 hud not those gathered around
interferredjand prevented a difficulty.
lie was justly mad, and very
mad, too. The meeting hero broke
up with considerable excitement,
which quieted down ofter a while.
The above story of the matter is
given as obtained from those who
were there, and is, no doubt, absolutely
correct.
Answering a Fool According to
His Folly.
hot mo tell a Dutch story right
here because it come from a Dutchman
in the oast em part of Pennsylvania
and must be a true story.
Tim Dutchman \v;i< nnvor >iwlmnmil
of his religion. In his neigborhood
tliero was a skeptic <vho said, "You
can't believe any thing you can't understand,"
and so 301110 of (ho
betterjclass of people asked trie Dutchman
if lie would not have a conversation
with him. He said, "Yes if
you tink best."
"Have you anv objections to tho
neighbors coming in?"
"No, sliustas you tink best."
So they made the appointment
and everybody was there. The old
gentleman came in and laid by his
hat and was introduced to tho skep
tic, and he began suddoutly by say
ing: "Veil, now lo'>k here. 1 pleofs
tho Bible?what you pleofs?"
Said he, "I don't believe anything
1 can't understand."
"Oh, you must bo one very smart
man, I vas mighty glad to meet you.
I ask you some question. Do odder
day I vas riding along tho road and
1 meet von dog, and dut dog had
von of his ears stand up in dis way
and the odder one he stand down so.
Now, vy was datP"
Now, that was very unhandy just
then, very unhandy. He cither had
to prove that that dog did not have
one ear standing up and the other
down, or else say he did not believe
it. So he said, "1 don't know."
"Oh, den, you are not very smart
after all. 1 ask anoder question. I
saw in John Smit's clovor patch' de
clover came up so nice, and I looked
over into do fields and dero was John
Smit's pigs; and dure <?ame on dere
packs; and in do very same clover

vool On dere bucks. Now. vv vas
dat?"
Now, that wus us bud us the other,
because the same perplexity arose
lie hud to prove that thero wus wool
on the buck of the sheep; and he
oould't tell why, and, therefore, had
no business to bcliovo it. Finally
he said, "I don't kr.ow."
"Veil," ho said, you are not half
so rmart as you tink you are. Now
1 asks you anoder question. Do you
pleve dere is a God?''
"No, I don't believe any such
nonsense."
"Oh, yes I hear all about you long
ago. 1 know all about yo.i. My
Bible knows about you, for in my
Bible lie says, 11)e fool says in his
heart dere is no God,' but you big
fool, you blab in right out. ?

This small capiUilist was a widow.
She lived in a morgaged cottage;
with her daughter and little grandson

()no day there was not a cent of inon !

Tho widow invested the nickel in

made fifteen popcorn halls. The
hoy started out and sold these for 15
cents. With her little capital troblcd
in en hour, tho widow bought
more popcorn, and it was quickly
peddled out at a good profit. The
family went to work in earnest, and
after awhile they had a little stand

| THE BAPTIST BOOMERANG.
One of Tillman's Indecent
Tricks Exposed[From
the (?roenvUle Enterprise.|
It was at tho joint discussion in
| Edgotield last spring, wo believe,
that Governor Tillman used the expression
that ho was "not a Baptist
who gets drunk and gambles," and
the declaration has been repeated
many times by Ids followers, .lust,
what was meant by the statement it
would be difficult to say, as it is in
line with other vague and indefinite
statements from the same source,
which are intended to have a political
effect., and leave the impression
that their author is a bold and (taring
leader, while ho is simply insin-1
tinting that which he dare not speak
out plainly. Inquiry has boon made
as to who was meant by the expression
used, if it was intended to have
a personal application, but 110 direct
and positive answer has been made to
the inqtiirry.
The insinuation was accepted by
many as intended for Governor Sheppard;
who is a member of the EdgeHeld
Baptist Church, an 1 who is the!
only candidate 011 the Conservative
ticket, except the Rev. Mr. Hiott, j
who is a Baptist. Some persons
have felt sojeonlidont that it was intended
for Governor Shcppard as to
urge that he ought to ropel the insinuation,
but there was such vagueness
in the statement and nttor
lack of application, he could not
assume that Governor Tillman
meant to charge him with drunk
ness and gambling. < )n the contrary
coueious of his own rectitude in
such matters, I10 had the right to
assume, as was perfectly natural and

did not mean to east any sucb reflection
upon his 'character, especially
in the town where ho resides
ana among the people who have
known him from his infancy.
Coventor Sheppard lias pursued
the proper course and he has loft it
to tho good sense of the people and
their love of fairness and decency to
deal with this question as to who
was meant to bo stigmatized in such
abase ntid cowardly manner, lie
lias gone forward in tho dischagc
of duty assigned him and has deported
himself on ovoiy occasion as
becomes tho Christian gentleman.
Hut the unmanly lling against *"a
Baptist wko drinks and gambles"
has been used throughout tlio campaign,
and it has been made to serve
the political purposes for which it
was intended.
Upon learning a few weeks ago
that some of the adherents of Governor
Tillman in this and adjoining
counties wore circulating' the [story
that ho had charged Sheppard to
his face with being a drunkard and
a gambler, and that Sheppard had
made no reply to the charge, we decided
at once to ask for the evidence
to refute this gross slander upon an
honorable man, which would satisfy
all reasonable people that t he charges
were brought to influence the 'political
campaign, and offset the damaging
conduct of Governor Tillman
in tilt- presence of the people, whom
he hud shocked by his profanity and
obsenity.
In accordance with this decision
we wrote a lotter ofjinquirry to the
Rev. J. N. Booth, who is 'the pastor
of tho Edgefield Batist Church, and
who has the very best opportunity of
knowing whether there is a particle
of truth in the charges so industriously
circulated. Mr. Booth is a
iui.dster of exceptional gifts, an experienced
pastor and a devout man.
lie is a native of North Carolina and
has been living in Edgefield sinco bo
came to this State, a year ago, anu
he is surely qualified to speak as to
the conduct and character of our
candidate for Governor* IIis testimony
is clear and explicit, and we
are greatly mistaken if it does not
prove satisfactory to tho public, especiully
to tho members of the Baptist
denomination, among whom this
slanderous story has been used with
cunning purpose. Mr. Booth's letter
is as follows:
Edokfikld, S. O.July80,1802.
Dear Sir: I havo been pastor of
the Batist Church at Edgefield for
a year, and my relations with ExGovernor
J. C, Sheppard havo been

time I have not seen him under the
influence of liquor or at. all behaving
inconsistently with his profession as
a I'hristhin gentleman. I esteem
him very highly as a citizen, a friend
and a member of my church. He is j
not a drunkard, and as to his being
a gambler it does not seem reasonable
that A. S. Toippkins, Alvin
Hart and Dr. \V. E. Prescott, of the
village, and T. S. Lewis and J. II.
Houxnight, of the neighborhood,
directors of the Hank of Edgefield,
would have elected him president of
that institution had he been of such
a character. All of thorn have known
him well and for years. He is a man
singularly free from anything little,
profane or ungcntlcmanly. He is devoted
as father and husband, liberal
and sympathetic toward his church
and pastor, able and faithful as lawyer
and counsellor, and patriotic and
true as citizen and officer. Vou may
with safety trust him

A newspaper writer gets letters
from everywhere on all sorts of sul>jects.
Not ldng since 1 had a mis I
sivo from a lady in the country wanting
to know the address of a corn j
doctor, and yesterday it was a letter
from a young woman who asks me
shall she abandon i% lucrativeprofossion
or share it with a young man
who wants her to marry him.
Such letters from a stranger to a
stranger arc tho most natural, the
most touching, (ho most impulsivo
things in t he world. They are mighty
sweet to u writer because they warm 1
up those tires in the heart that make
us love to advise, protect and com
fort others. I think the happiest,
lovingest moment in a mother's life
is when her child comes to her to bo
comforted with its little mouth put
up to cry and its weak little anus
clinging for help.
Good men love to protect women.
The other name for this sweet paternal
instinct is chivalry. Good wtfi
men love to comfort the men they
love and each other. It istho maternal
instinct, sweet as a flower, aiul'God
help the sterile heart that has it not.
The most divinely gifted woman is
she into whose arms tho friend, the
lover, the, husband, the child, aye,
even the outcast can throw himself

sion and tlio sorrow the shaino and
bitterness of the cruel liurt in the
heart that tho world does not know
bleeds there. Sometimes \vc are shy
of our own and find it easier to make
confession to or to ask advice of a
stranger.
This stranger young lady says in
her letter to me: "I earn si good
living. Would you advise mo to
give up my free life and independence
to marry a man who loves men
very much?"
And I answer, 110, si thousand
ti mes 1 0.
The time has gone by when girls
marry for a living or for convenience.
The time has gone by when
men marry to save the price of a cook
or to have some seamstress make
their shirts. Men worth marrying
do isoi marry simply to secure a home.
They want wives who are their con
genial companions, not merely the

caterers for their appetites, the menders
of their socks.
Every man marries for children.
Jlo must always have a divine tenderness
for the sweet wife who puts
into his arms a son that shall bear his
name and make it live after him.
Then the slightly domestic side of
him is content in a well ordered,
cheerful home, lie is proud of a
wife whose social graces shr,e, whom
other people take to and love and
whose society they frequent. Not
any real man cares for simply fashionable
society of that sort which is
respected by opera boxes, toas, crush
es jams and jim jams of dinners,
every man's vanity is flattered by a
wife who charms people, who gath

her mind or heart, congenial friends,
intellectual society, high thinkers.
Her presence warms the heart and
purifies the atmosphere. And she
rellects credit upon the name she
bears.
There are still at large a few
American men who are Turks at
heart. They go to their homes to
rT3T^T3 l ! Oi
i t ji jXV i , i n:
eat, sleep nn<l rest. Their social
attentions to their wives are twinborn
of custom ami duty. They
have no genial fireside, no newsy
friends dropping in imforinally. I
They invite no ono home, and they
order the household, arrange one i
furniture and play the Turk genor
ally. Any real life they live, that is,1
any unbent, llesh and blood, spontaneous
existence they may have, goes ,
on elsewhere than in tho serene, dull,
uniform paradise of monotony they
call home.
Marry a free minded, spirited girl
with a healthy body and a big heart
and an independent rpirit, to a man
of this sort and you marry her to
failure, to discontent, to despair, to
sorrow. She wants to do her own
thinking and she has earned tho
right to; to govern lmr own ways,
and apply to her own pocket for
money.
A woman contributes to the common

If I wore a young girl, earning a
good living, and were asked in mar
liage by 11 young man whom I loved
and who loved 1110, I would, now
knowing all that 1 do know, say to
him:
Yes. If you will admit 1110 into

will make me your social half, credit

Learn the Value of MoneyA
silver dollar represents a day's
work of tho laborer. If it is given to
a boy ho has no idea of what it has
cost, or what it is worth. He would
be as like to give a dollar as a dime
for a top or any other toy. Hut if
tho hoy has learned to earn the
dimes and dollars by tho sweat of his
face, he knows the difference. Hard
work is to him a measure of values
that can never be rubbed out of his
mind. Let him learn by ojeperienco
that a hundred dollars represents a
hundred weary day's labor, and it
seems a groat sum of money. A
thousand dollars is a fortune, an l ten
thousand is almost inconceivable, for
it is far more than he over expects
to possess. When he has earned a
dollar, he thinks twice before he
Spends it. He wants to invest it so
as to get the full value of a day's
work for it. It is a great wrong to
society and to a hoy to brine: him up
to man's estate without this knowledge.
A fortune at twenty-one,
without it, is almost inevitably
thrown.' "ay. With it, and a little
and a liu.o capital to start on, he will
; make his own fortune better than any
one can make it for him.
Tt was l?on .Johnson, we believe,
who, when asked Mai lock's question.
"Is life worth living?" replied,
"That depends on the liver." And
Hon .Johnson doubtless saw the double
point to tho pun. Tho liyer
active -quick -life rosy, everything
bright, mountains of trouble melt
like moil tains of snow. The liver
sluggish life dull, everything blue
molehills of worry rHe into mountains
of anxiety and as a result?
sick headaohe dizziness, constipation.
Two ways arc open. (Jure
permanently, or relievo temporally.
Take a pill and suffer, or take a pill
and get welh Shock the system by
an overdose, or coax it by a mild,
pleasant way.
Dr. Pierce's IMoasant Pellets are
the mild means. Thoy work effec

Address to tho Alumni.
For nearly ono hundred years the
South Carolina Col lego has been the
educational centre of this State.
Much that is grand, many glorious
lives are recalled by its name. No
village or hamlet in South Carolina,
howevor obscure, hns boon beyond
its inlluence; its graduates have done
much to make the history of the
State great and to keep it so; around
its past cling many tender memories.
Its ancient reputation must be maintained,
and this support should come
with all the strength and influence
of two thousand Alumni, who are
useful citizens of this State.
From the many changes in South
Carolina since reconstruction the
South Carolina College lias not escaped,
and recently the report tiH8
gono abroad that it lias boon permanently
injured by its las roorganiza|
lion. To correct this misupprohen1
sion is the purpose of this address,
the solemn and no less sacred obliga1
tion of her Alumni. Lukewarm
friendship .and support may do more
harm than open welfare, and many
old students of the South Carolina
College aro lukewarm in lovo and
chary of work in her behalf, becauso
they have been told that this is no
longer the South Carolina Colloge of
the past. We, who have at various
times sat at the feet of her instructors
some of us yet young and but
shortly departed from her care, some
of us of an older generation, whom
sho cherished in antebellum days ?
wish in all sincerity and earnestness
