Milton Taylor the young Honea Path mar who was shot by Furman Bag well in the lodge hall of th( Woodmen at Friendship churcl near Honea Path, Friday night, died at the Anderson hospita: Monday morning at 6 o'clock. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Taylor, and a brethei and sister, were constantly at the bedside of. their loved onE and were with him when hE breathed his last. While Bagwell was being in itiated into the local Woodmen lodge, he became greatly excit ed and when Taylor, who was leading the degree team, fired several shots with a revolver, said to be loaded with "blanks,' the candidate for initiation rush ed into an ante-room where he secured a 32 Smith and Wesson revolver from his coat pocket and turned upon Taylor and be. gan shooting. In all, four shots are reported to have been fired, one taking effect in the back of the neck, two making slight lesh wounds in the hip and the fourth entering the center of the abdomen, puncturing the transverse colon twice, tearing large holes in the walls of the intestine.-Daily Mail. Disease Among Cows. Several cows in and around Pickens have been and are now sick with a peculiar malady. They first begin to fail in milk, they become droopy and ther fail to eat. The disease ih shown in the mouth as the in. side lining of the lips and rool beconmes sore and the tongue turns almost black. The feel also aet tender and they wall with some difficulty. Mr. D. B. Finney lost om with the disease and there arm several others in and near towr now sick. Several in Greenvill< county have died from th< malady. The cause is said to be eating the grass which had become poisoned from the incessani rains this spring. A treatment used very suc cessfully in sonme places is a solution of 1 part of creoline t< 49 uarts of water, to be used at a mouth wash, and also batl the legs and feet with the same. Bor-ic Acid used as a mouti: wash is also good. After bath ing the feet apply Carbolated Vaseline. The Clemson au thorities are investigating the disease and will report fully in a few (lays. Intensive Farming. Although the (rOPS in this county, as a rule. are far belonx the average and1 the outlook~ gloomy there are a few whc have fine prospects. especially corn. The Boy's Corn Clud contest is responsible in a great measure for the con~lition Last week The Sentinel mar saw as fine a field of corn as h< ever~ looked at. It wvas on Mr Elisha Gilstraps farm two miles south of this place. He hast field of five acres in variou! stages of growth because it wai planted at different times. Thi youngest now is shoulder t< head high, the oldest ten t< twelve feet high. The entir< field shows careful preparatioi and work. It is perfectly clean The rows appear to be ~3 t< 33 feet and the corn will averagt frni 8 to 10 inches in the dIrill Nearlv every stalk of the firs acre planted has two large well dev eloped ear-s, and it i: estimated that it will make 12. or 1)0 bushels. It is a sight worth seeing an wxill be w orth a trip by mans wxho are farming on the exten sive rather than the int-'nsiv, plan. It shows wxhat preparationi 1lIn the soil of Pickens County. It would make an excellent i hiding place for Sidna Allen or Vaughan. The Sentinel man walked out about the middle of this first acre with another I gentleman and then walked istraight along one row 54 feet from the other man and he could not be seen. Then he went across eight rows and was out of sight. We do not know any of the methods employed in the pre paration, fertilization or culti vation of this field of corn, but have been told it belongs to Mr. Gilstrap's son, Ralph. who is in the Boy's Club contest. There are a good many people who are slow to believe news paper stories, and there are some who, like Gov. Blease, thinks they cannot tell the truth at all, and doubtless there will be some to doubt and dis credit this "fish tale," but to all such we say go see for yourself. It is estimated that the five acres will make at least 500 bushels and if we are not mis taken the fodder and shucks wvill pay the expenses of produc tion. It will pay anybody to go see it. See what intensive farming is. This is the kind that is need ed in this country. Why culti vate fifteen to twenty acres to the horse when you can make as much on five? Anderson and Marietta Railroad. I have read what Hon. R. Mays-Cleveland says in regard to making a railroad from Anderson by way of Pickens to Marietta, in Greenville county. It is a rich country, a pretty country, a country well popu lated and badly in need of rail road transportition. It would be a splendid investment for the people along the route to put in every dollar necessary to build this road and turn it over clear of debt to any company that would agree to operate it If the people along the route most interested could be per. suaded that this is true and ~ made to think and act together, ' the road would be in operation ~ inside of t welve months. I There is just one thing more timid than a million dollars- ~ and that is two million. Beside. ~ there are always on the market ~ stocks. and bonds that pay a fixed and certain dividend semi annually. capital prefers such to ventures it knows not of. The greatest benefit from a railroad 1 always goes to those it helps ~ and serves most. Many of this ~ kind lie back, do nothing and say nothing, thinking the rail. 1 road will be built anyway. and consider themselves wise when I they add to all the other bene fits they get from it, the amount ~ they ought to have subscribed to it. The value of any land or water power is estimated ac cording to the distance it is from it to the nearest railroad. ~ -Every tract of land advertised ~ for sale is described by its dis tance from the railroad.C The Southern2 Power Conipany, ~ the A'nderson Light and Power E Company, or the Pickens Rail- ~ road Company would agree to ~ operate it. I am reliably informed that a good and valid charter over the proposed route has been grantedk and is of force. I So ali Mr. Cleveland and those who want the road have to do to get it, is to get together and build it. This is the most prof- ~ itab~le im~ estment.' Anderson and Marietta and all points be tween, can make. If they will lay the rail. the car wheels will begin at once to sing the high tenor of progdess ofi the plains of Piercetown, up the valley of ~ Twelve mile, down th'e-Oolenoy and among the beautiful foot i hills east of the Saluda. t If they wait for capital to I come and buy the right of way, the cross ties and the rails, thei 4late of probability is A.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Fie Kind You Have Always Boughit Bear-s the Signatur-e of Coun tyCampaign Opened Saturday The first meetina of the :ounty campaign opened at Easley last Saturday. The neeting was held in the school iditorium and began at I )'clock. The Sentinel man did iot get in for the opening and 1ad to leave before the close. There were about 200 voters present to hear the candidates, nd contrary to the expectations >f some. it was a quiet, orderly .neeting. Predictions had been nade that each candidate, and .specially those for the legisla ure, would be called upon to tate who they were for for gov rnor. But no such effort was nade by any one in the crowd, and only -one candidate, Mr. f. A. Hinton, ventured to ex press himself along this line. rhe reason for not forcing this Lssue, presumably, is that it is a oaded bomb, and the fellow who stands on this ground has . very thin shell between him self and defeat in this county. t is thought by both sides that jhe sentiment is about evenly livided and that it is like throw ng heads and tails to say whether Jones or Blease will :arry it. The two candidatas for solici or, Hon P. A. Bonham and fV. L. Daniel, were the first to tddress the people. They were ollowed by Mr. R. T. Hallum. andidate for superintendent of ,ducation, who has no opposi lon. Then the candidates for sher if, Messrs. J. C. Jennings and L. R. Roark, and they were fol owed by the candidates for .erk of Court, Messrs. A. J. 3oggs. J. H. G. McDaniel and ). S. Stewart. Then came the andidates for county commis ioner and treasurer and the last o speak were the candidates 'or the house of representatives. We reached the scene as Mr. tewart for clerk of court was troduced. lie hadl vry little say, but t-' d uem he had no 'ecord, and was running on his iwn merits. He said if elected e would have one0 day in each >wnship to meet the old pen ioners to pay them~ their pen ion money. We regret we did iot hear Mr. tdoggs and Mr. lcDaniel so as to give abre ~ccount of their speeches. FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONFR. Mr. J. L. B gwell spoke* ~riefly. He said the roads were lad but it could not be helped in account of the heavy rains. Mr. G. W. Brown said when e took charge five years ago he roads in his section had not keen worked in quite a while, nd when he went out he turn 1 the roads over in good fix {e promised, if elected to give his time to the duties of the iffice. Mr. J. M. Lawrence said he Lad given his time and tried to .ccomplish something, but the ains this year had seriously in erf erred. When he went into ifice he found several men who iad not paid road tax nor work d. He told of the indebtedness 'f the county, which was very rall, and the amount expend d for machinery, mules, stock des, etc. Mr. N. B. Moore said when e was in office he did the best e could and if elected would ry to do better. Mr. Elias Day, being at home Lad nothing to 'say. There was no issue between e candidates for treasurer ,nd auditor. Each one, howev , (presented his claims and as given an attentive hearing. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVEs. Mr. S. B. Craigj~ was the flrst peaker. Hie saidl four years go he was a candid ite for aud tor and thanked the people for heir support. He referred to s election as mayor of Pick ns, saying he had been elected iver one of the best men of the own by 2 to 1. If elected to he House, he would do his own hinking and stand on his own eet. Some. he said, had criti ised him for entering the race ecause his brother was county upervisor and that it appeared ike the Craigs wanted to run he county. He thought we had reached 1he point in road building where ernanent roads could now be He favored education, espe ially the better improvement )f the rural schools. He was in avor of some changes at the enitentiary, saying he did not jelieve it right to put criminals nn such miiserable cells. He was pposed to puttit; whites and blacks either in the penitentiary - ainno together. Mr. J. Ashniure Hinton wa the next speaker. After he wa introduced he advanced to th front of the stage and said th& before he entered upon hL speech he would pause Ion; enough to give any one wi wished to an opportunity to as! him any question. He stoo( still for three or four second and not a word was spoken b: anyone. The purpose of this, i seemed, was to lift the lid fron the cauldron by having one o more call out, "Are you fo Jones or Blease?" Then he sai( that if there were no question he desired to state at the outse that lie was a Blease man an< expected to vote for him. Upoi this announcement about one third of the crowd cheered. He then launched into hi: speech. He opposed the railroa< commissioners being paid by th< railroads and would endeavor t< have this changed by makim the State pay them. He favor ed appropriations for the publi< schools. Ten years ago he fav ored issuing bonds for building roads and was still in favor of it. He would offer a bill to al low the county to issue such bonds. He favored appropriat ing half a million dollars and giving every old soldier a pen sion. He was opposed to rais ing salaries. Hon. E. P. McCravey-He said he promised two years agc to pass a marriage license law and claimed to have had a part in passing the one now on the statute books. He denied the report that he had favored a bill to deprive anyone of his vote. The law he supported affected only the aliens !who came here from foreign countries. He reminded Mr. Hinton that he had had an act passed which gave the people of - this county the right to vote bonds for road improvement if they desired. He voted to pension every old oldier and voted to increase the appropriation for this purpose to Maj. J. M. Stewart-Wh-m Major Stewart was introdnee~d many in the crowd had become ired and srmne began to leave. but a good part of them heard im. He thanked them for what they had done for him in the past, and said he thought be had retired for good from pol ties. but meni came from levery side of the countcy and urged aud pressed until he had to yieldI lHe did not know anything ihout law making, but thought w coulId Ie.>rni and prornmised to .o his. best fo the people.
