HOMICIDES.
Homicides are no longer exclusive
ly confined to the low and vicious
classes of society. They have grown
more and more respectable until the
cultured, refined, and pious are taking
a band in them. A Professor Rankin,
in Alabama, shot and killed the
president of the institution in which
they were both teaching, and then
killed himself, all because he sus
pected McNeil, the president, of be
ing instrumental in having him,
Rankin, defeated for re-election to
his position in the faculty.
In New York, Thomas Barker sus
pected Rev. John Keller, of New
Jersy, of being a little too partial to
his, Barker’s wife, and went gunning
for him with the result that he
brought down his game, shooting out
the right eye and shattering the
right hand, which two members may
be considered to have offended either
Barker or their possessor, the Rev.
Clergyman.
South Carolina, for once, has set
an example to her sister States of
mildness, prudence, and humaneness,
which they will do well to ponder
and imitate. Over in Greenville
Charles Rice took a ride on the trol
ley cars on Sunday afternoon, as he
had a perfect right to do, and on re
turning to his home found one Joe
S zemore on a confidential visit to
Mrs. Rice—all of which Rice con
sidered offensive to him personally
and a violation of good morals and of
marital rights. He stepped into a
side room without explaining his pur-
po-ie in detail and Sizemore very
naturally and innocently believing
that the inevitable pistol was to be
forth-coming, began without unneces
sary delay to beat Rice over the head
with a hickory stick, and he con
tinued his blows with increasing
vigor and frequency until the pro
ceedings interested Rice no more for
the time being. Sizemore then de
parted without leaving his card, and
has not been heard of since. Rice
told a reporter that he did not care to
bother with Sizemore any further,
that his own head would be well in a
few days, and that it would do him
no good to have Sizemore put in jail.
The reign of peace must be approach
ing when such a case as this can hap
pen in Greenville.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The South Carolina Baptist did
right in demanding the reasons for
the resignation of Dr. Murfee from
the Greenville Female College, not
withstanding the censure of the
Greenville News. A full and candid
explanation is due the Baptists of
the State.

This week will see the last of the
stamp nuisance. It has been a veri
table thorn in the flesh and a constant
vexation of spirit—a continual re
minder in every daily transaction
that we are subject to a power not
our own and that we cannot transact
the most ordinary business without
paying *the governing power for the
privilege. The whole country will
breathe easier and leel freer when
the vexation is over.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Russia has given notice that she
will levy and collect a high tariff on
American importations of bicyles and
rosins, in retaliation for the Ameri
can duty on Russian petroleum. The
funny part of it is that Russia sends
no petroleum to this country, but all
i.he same her action proves what wo
have often said, that the nations of
Europe will not always admit our
products free of duty while we main
tain a high protective tariff against
their own.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
One of the “chunks of advice" ad
ministered by Hon. Benjamin Ryan
Tillman to the students of Newberry
College was never to suffer them-
lives to be “gagged." We suppose
advice was intended as an artful
liment to the speaker. It is
fng to what a man is capable of
saying, whether ho ought to be
“gagged" or not. The man who will
not scruple to slander better men
than himself in order to promote his
own selfish interests ought to be
4 'gagged" and that right early.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The newspapers for the past few
days have been unusually full of
horrors. The disaster In West Vir
ginia almost equals that of the Johns
town flood Kecretary Hay's son
falls out of a window In New Haven,
Conn., and is Instantly killed; the
strikers in the .SoutneST^railr
shops in Columbia make an attack
on the non-union mechanics who had
taken the places of the strikers, and
blood Hows freely; a preacher at
Walballa is knocked on the head
with an ax by his son-in-law, because
ho had advised the son-in-law to go
to work and try to make a living for
his family; an old lady in Greenville
is beaten into a state of unconscious
ness by the paramour of an adopted
son upon whom she had bestowed
all the wealth of a mother’s love
from infancy am} whom she had re
cently nursed through a long spell of
sickness; from our own town two
murderers have beuu sent to begin
life sentences in the penitentiary,
while there are four others who have
dyed their hands in human blood and
are awaiting trial; and from all direc
tions comes the news of disasters and
deeds of lawless violence. Still the
world moves on and hardly stops to
listen to the_ tale of a day’s horrors.

School MuiiHaement Corrupt.
Buffalo, June 25.—Mr. Editori
Please allow me space in your col
umn! to say a few words on a public
matter concerning the people of
Buffalo.
The management of the public
school at this place bus been so cor
rupt that it has almost become a
stench in the nostrils of honest peo
ple. Not one of the trustees has
been pleased with it.
It is to be deplored that we have
not a superintendent of education
capable of giving the people of Buf
falo a little reform. To squander
public money is a stop in the direc
tion of plain stealing and any man,
or set of men, guilty of so doing
will hear very close watching.
i wish to impress it upon the minds
of the people of Buffalo to watch
after some of their school oflicers and
try to stop so much wanton extrava
gance of their public school money.
The way their money has been wasted
is a little more respectable than
stealing. Respectfully,
W. r. Tolbert.

THE BAPTIST REVIVAL.
Mr. AV ray In rreaehiiiK Some \ ery Interesl-
Iiik SerinouH to l.argv CoiiKregMtLiiin.
The revival meeting at the First
Baptist church is growing in intercut.
The attendance is on the increase and
large congregations attend both the
forenoon and night services. Mr.
Wray is a very magnetic man, some
what dramatic in his manner, and
withal a most charming and interebt-
ing teacher. He presents Bible truths
in a simple yet interesting manner
and his word-painting is at times en
trancing. He impresses one with his
earnestness and there can he but lit
tle doubt that ho will do a great d< ul
of good in Gaffney. He is absolutely
free from the sensational and is there
fore to be doubly commendid. Mr
Wray will remain here until the lat
ter part of next week, during which
time the meeting will continue. A
cordial invitation is extended all to
attend these services.
1’astor Cree has had a splendid se
lection of popular gospel hymns print
ed in pamphlet form for the use of
the meeting, and these have been dis
tributed on the seats in u profuse
manner, giving all who attend the
opportunity to join in the singirg.
The good old-fashioned congregational
singing is a feature of the meeting. ^

Wednesday as Mr. T. E. Fuller and
Eugene Neighbours were on their re
turn home from Spartanburg and
were within a mile and a half of their
destination, they were held up and
ordered to get out of their buggy by
a large stalwart man who with a
double barrel shot gun threatened to
shoot them if they did not obey his
orders.
These young men receiving such
orders from one they had never seen
before, and never want to meet again,
obeyed the highwayman’s orders.
Just as they leaped from the buggy
the man with his gun drawn on them
clacked to the horse to go on, leaving
the two young men standing in the
road awaiting further orders from one
whom they WQ.uId have willingly
obeyed under the circumstances.
After the horse and buggy had got
out of sight ol this beautiful trio,
Messrs. Fuller and Neighbours were
ordered to hit the grit down the road,
which order they promptly obeyed.
The horse and buggy showed up at
the stable minus the cushion and
whip, and some excitement was rais
ed ; but only for a few moments, as
the occupants showed up soon after.
A Family Kcuiiioii.
Rev. T. H. Mullinax, of Grover, N\
O., celebrated Sunday the 2:ird, insf.,
by having a reunion of his family and
direct descen lants at the King’s
Mountain battle-ground. There were
twenty-six of the children and grand
children of Mr. Mullinax present, as
well us a few close friends and other
relatives of the family.
A few hours before dinner were
spent in recreation and lively conver
sation, and then came the tempting
array of eatables which, it is needless
to say, received due consideration.
In the afternoon religious services
were held and Mr. Mullinax preached
an appropriate sermon to the small
hut happy gathering. The day was
most pleasantly spent and every one
carried away a train of memories
that will brighten their lives for
many years to come.

George Hchauh, a well known Ger
man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio,
is a constant reader of the Dayton
Volkszeitung. He knows that this
paper aims to advertise only the best
in its columns, and when he saw
Chamberlain’s Tain Balm advertised
therein for lame back, he did not
hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had
suffered with the most terrible pains
in her back and could get no relief.
He says: “After using the Tain
Balm for a few days my wife said to
nag. T feel as though born anew,’
and before using the entire contents
of the bottle the unbearable pains
had entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household duties.”
Ho is very thankful and hopes that
ail suffering likewise will hear of her
wonderful recovery. This valuable
