Ansel refused to give out a statement concerning the result of the election tonight, hut says he will have some thing to say tomorrow, after all the returns are in. However, he was showered with congratulations by hundreds of people at his home and on the streets today, on his victory, and many telegrams from friends and sunporters all over the State, express ing gratification as to the result, reached him. Among the wire mes sages received was one from Richard I. Manning, his opponent, expressing his highest compliments and hearing c - assurance that he will do all in his power to make the Ansel administra tion a success. It is needless to say that this graceful act on the part of Mr. Manning was much appreciated by Mr. Ansel and his friends here. Tonight on Furman University cam pus a cannon w r as pressed into com mission and a governor’s salute of twenty-one guns was fired. All Greenville is rejoicing in the victory of Mr. Ansel. Three hundred enthusiastic Ansel supporters gathered at the home of the "next governor” tonight and gave him an ovation. Sev ral selections were rendered bv a brass band and speeches of congratulation were made by several prominent citizens, after which Mr. Ansel made a feeling re sponse, expressing the supreme grati tude which he feels at the honot which the ir onic of the State have conferred unon him.

Rufus Poole has been quite | .in" idl for -evernl days. ! Mr. Sam .!, Striin lias been sick 1 since last Tuesday morning. He is just able to set up today. The chickens in manv places are lying with cholera. Mr. F. A. Goforth has sold the rem nant of his last year’s cotton crop and will haul it off next Wednesday. Our home has been a veritable hos pital for the last ten days, but it is not in anv sense worse than some others. It seems that diseases, or their treatment, have materially changed. No doubt it would be w’ell to go back to some of the old-time remedies and plans of treatment as a test at least. The usual practice is to starve the patient out and start him again. If he is able to go through this ordeal there is a chance for him to pull through. If not. he must succumb to the disease or rath er the consequences. We are told that the Indians, who are usually suc cessful in th" treatment of old sores, cancers iand such like, never pro ceeded with their treatment until they burn the affected parts severely and then thev cure the burn and then cure the patient. The late Dr. J. Rufus Bratton, of Yorkville, who, in his day stood at the head of the medical pro fession and was called to see and treat the most obstinate and stub born cases of sickness of differert kinds, told the writer only a few months before he died that he had spent his whole life in the practice of medicine and no doubt had gained sonic notoriety as a practitioner; yet he had never learned what the prac tice of medicine reallv meant, until by age and physical disability he was forced to give it up. He said (these are his exact words, as we well re member themt, "No matter what a patient wants, give it to him. It may be something that w e might think would produce instant death. But the merest taste is sufficient. Only a few drops, or that that might adhere to the tip of the finger when touched to the patient’s tongue will often do the work of testing the case. If it agrees with the patient it may he re peated as often as necessary until he is relieved. If It disagrees with him be will be the first to discover it and will be content to leave it off. He may want a certain kind of food which, when prepared .and brought to him. the very scent of it will satisfy his desire for it and he is satisfied to leave it off. Thousands of patients have died that a spoonful of water might savi-d if given at, the proper time and in the proper way. The same is also true with regard to that he might want to eat. The merest morsal of food used in the same way might be the turning point in a oa- j tient’s life. I have found this by ac- i Uml experience and am sorry that I didn't know it at the beginning of my j professional life. But you can't con- ! vince the avenge practitioner that | these are tacts he ought to under stand." I host* who know of Dr. Bratton in j liis da's of useful activity will better : appreciate bis logic than those who I have never tested his theoi—. We do not propose to lecture the disciples of Ecculapius upon their professional dif ies. but we propose to give th in the expressed views of one of their num ber who stood high enough upon the professional ladder to bo admitted to the medical councils of the lat- Southern Confederacy, and one whose judgment on all matters pertaining to the profession was received with tile highest regard. W e understand tliat another homi cide has been charged up to the ac count of Cherokee county. But we , claim none of the honors belonging to or arising from the bloody affair. We do not (impose to make our coun tv of Cherokee the dumping ground for Hu* riff-raff and plug-uglies of North Carolina who come within its borders to commit their lawless deeds and stain it with thy blood of its murdered victims. We have enough °f our own to look after without other people’s. From what we l*arn the whole crowd were from another State and not a Cherokeean had anything to do with it. A hurried trip to Gaffney last Frl day gave Us an opportunity to see mil talk with farmers from the dif ferent sections of our county, and from all we can gather a very small crop of cotton w;R be made this year Providence has reduced the crop be low the most modest estimate—not over fifty per cent of a cotton crop can be reasonably expected this year. Lorn, especially on well worked up lands, is exceptionally flue. Low bottom lands have been drowned out or washed away. Fodder is burning up on the stalk for want of labor to pull and save It. Farm labor is far above its com mercial value in this country. County Supervisor Phillips has the mad scraper at work on the How ell’s Ferry road, from Wilklnsville to Pondfleld. This is a difficult section to keep un. The road in many places hasn’t got the proper width. In some places it isn’t over ten or twelve feet wide and wagons can’t pass without runnintr in the ditch on either one side or the other. Mr. John Poole has a right sick child. It has been having chills. Pmt. Moss sings at Abingdon Creek i>n Friday and Saturd iy of each week. The Carnegie Roosevelt spelling re form might properly be put down as one of the twentieth century nuis ances. esn "cially with government officials, who arc expected to ob serve it more than others. For our part "e would much prefer the Guy. tonic system with which we are more or less familiar. But. give us old Noah Webster first, last and all the time. From a basketfull of newspa- per comments we select the follow ing at random; "Whenever a change of spelling shall produce obscurity of meaning, it becomes a nuisance. One of these changes would make us write; The fire gloze.’ Another would make us write: ‘Mary carest Sallie and kist her.’ Who knows what that moans? It means. ‘Mary caressed Sallie and kissed her.’ Again. 'The horse crost the road.’ ‘Job curst his birthday.’ ‘Pharoah opprest the Hebrews.’ ‘William prefixt a para graph.' 'The ox tost the child thru the fence.’ ‘The hoy mist his lesson.’ ‘A deliteful seen in the kitchen.’ ‘The fire gloze and the made carest the kitten and List her.’ When such a change causes difficulty in finding a word in the dictionary, it becomes an obstacle. Such is the case in the proposed change from hearken to harken and from phantasm to fian- tasm.” The sad news has reached us that Rev. Mr. Owens, who assisted Rev. Mr. Hammett in his protracted meet ing at Abingdon Creek church last year, and who did some good work, has been burned at the stake in Chi na, "'here he weut as a missionary to those heathens. The rumor is a vague one but we are told there Is truth in it. If it be true It’s about time that our government and thope of other Christian countries should go over there and. if need be. shoot the Christian religion Into those cruel heathen or make them behave them, selves. When Bishop Hugh Latimer and Robert^ Ridlev perished at the stake in looo, under the reign of the cruel Mary, they told the bystanders and on lookers that thev would that day light a lamp in England that never would be put out. And it never has and never will be. What is true of Latimer and Ridley and others is also true of the men and women we are sending with the gospel to the anti- Christian nationalities of the world. And yet some people are fools enough to say (but they don’t thin!:- in that ’he Christian religion is all nonsense.
