The postmasters in South Carolina are tot oorap'ainlng about the election lesu'ts. ? If the trusts bought the Roosevelt majorities it is safe to say that the trusts a-o "busted." For the first time since 1870 a "bolter" and "indop^ndont" has been elected to office in South Carolina. Mr. Walker of Greenville is a recotd Bmasher. * . JAv. Waller of Greenville may have been justM declaiming that he was cheated out of the pri-i ary nomination In Greouvlile but two years hence some may cry fraud whether thoro be fraud u not. It is to bj hoped that th's General Assembly will have sufficient intelli gence to crea:e two now Judicial Clr oult*. Tho population of the State has doub'ed since the provision fir eight Circuits was made. Tho State is filled with special judges, pome ot whom are fit and some of whom are unfit. Unhss tho lawyer candidates ?h? may be m:mbers of the General A? bembly ki 1 tho next bill for additional Circuits the bill will become law.? Soores of lawyer* fear that In arrang ing the new Oircuits no provision wl 1 bo made fur themselves for Judgeships or So Ic-tor.-diips. But for this, the new Circuits wou'd probably have been es tablished long ago. * The Results. The election of this man Roosevelt and the triumph of his party is a per son al misfortune to us Southern people In three ways especially,?as well ns in others. In the first p'ace, It means a c >n tlnued high tariff and that means we must pay more for most of the things wo buy th^in thev arc worth In the s^coid, this Roosevelt has no better sooso seemingly than to appoint negroes to office. He msy do this for the want of sense or ho may ben dirty, spiteful bad follow. We are not prepared to *ay which be is. If be does appoint negroes to office here aud there, it will make trouble. Southern peoplo will not "stand for It." It makes us Pick to contemplate tho killing i f a poor, fool negro politician. We do not approve of the beating or biuisingof a negro merely because bo may bold an office. Hut the boatings and bruising and kill ings will take piace whether we ap prove it or not. There is a town in South Carolina called Lake City and there are many South Carolina towns mucli like Lake City. We do not like to think of the miserable, nasty trouble that a fool president may cause. In tho third place, we regret that Roosevelt's election will enab'e a small numbar of white men who have bartered their allegiance to their kind to hold office in this State. # The Cherokee Vote. Cherokee county voted the dispen sary out of the county. Tho prohibi tionists knew that they were voting a tax upon themselves. They understood fully that the laws of South Carolina ai now written in the statute books pun ishes by fine those counties which dare to opposo the Tillinan wbltkfy ma chine. Tho Cherokee prohibitionists are honest and earnest in what ihey profess. Tho f .rmers in South Carolina have always been prohibitionists. They voted for prohibition in 1892. Th?-y were promised prohibition if It shcu'd have a majority in tho special boxes at the primary of 1802. After the general assembly met Sonator Tillman, being afraid of prohibition compelled his Legislature to convert the State Into a whiskey-selling concern. Senator Till inan hes been sustained in his acts, good and bad as a rule. Nevertheless, the people of Cherokee, have, In spite of the Senator's whiskey ppeoch in G?ffney, voted the dispensary out of the county. What tho Senator will do to tho people of Cherokee we do not know. Wo rather fancy that his dis pensary frionds will see to it that p o hihltion has a tough time in Cherokee. It will be easy to distribute samples In Cherokee. It will bo worth while to tho dispensary gang, backed by many whiskey houses in other State*, to en deavor to drown tho prohibitiou icntl moot of Cherokee county. We shall not be surpaised if "blind tigers" bo eet up in business throughout Cherokee county. The hardest task is before the Chero kee people. They have won only the preliminary ekirrai-h against the dis pensary. Tho dispensary will maintain an incessant and insidious attack upon the prohibition forces. The Cherokee people made tho first breach in the] d'spensary wall. Tho dispensary gang v HI be qniok to sec that their institu tion is threatened and they wlil resort to every imaginable device to demon strate that prohibition In Cherokee Is H failure. Evtry friend of Senat r Tillmai, if ho loves the Senator more than he hates wh skey, should rally arouud t'.e dispensary at this er Isis. The di-pen eary in at least one county has ben whipppd out of Its boots in a fair fight, notwithstanding that the Fena'or threw Mmtelf into the figh*.

Try a 26 oent bottle of tliem For sale by Lau rent Drug Co. and Di, 13. F. Poscy. A Communication. Mr. Editor: The newspapers are constantly deploying the law lessness in this country. They seem to dwell only on the taking of human life, losing sight of the fact that "appetite grows by what it feeds upon" and that the greater crimes are only the result of the early spirit of lawlessness being allowed full swing. Now, Mr. FMitor, public senti ment is what makes laws effect ive, and public sentiment should frown on every kind of legal transgression. We have laws on our statute books today which are entirely disregarded, our people are uuwilling that they be re pealed, yet no one seems to think any the less of the transgressor. One of the especial matters that has been brought to my at tention is that of trespass. The law provides that the landowner may advertise his premises and forbid any person going on same ?when such is done then the person who goes upon same with out permission is a law breaker; because they do so openly and de fiantly does not make them less so. The land owner may not re sort to the law, because they and their friends are probably his friends, but does that warrant a person in taking advantage of such relationship and breaking the law? Do they for one mo ment suppose that a person is go ing to pay your paper for an ad vertisement just to see his name in the paper? Do they think they are so much "It" that you can't mean them? Now, Mr. Editor, very few peo ple are entirely blameless, but young boys especially are very presuming in such matters, and persons who hunt are not always exempt. "Farmer." Evidently our "Foamier" friend has a grievance, but he is not by himself. The trouble is so many people?white people?fail to see the distinction between public and private property, and some town people come in for a full share of annoyance.?(Ed. Adv.) NO POISON IN CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY. From Napier, New Zealand, Herald: Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of New South Wale-, Australia, had an analysis m..du of all the rough m di cines that were s^ld in that marke'. Out of the entire litt they found only one that they declared was ontiroly tree fr.un all poison. Tb'.s exception was C: amberlain's Cough Remedy, made by the rhamberla'n Mi die ne Company, Des Moinies, U. LS. A.

Tu Tlio robin ceased, and all eyes looked at the tawny old nohlenuin, hla features working with wruth. Hen* ry'a lingers were tight closed, and Anne's white teeth hit her Under lip till a spot of blood came upon It. All lu that room knew the old man. Many loved him. Not n few held louse upon his land. He was one of the lust brave barons who bore, his name, for the most part, whether crusaders or poets, men gentle, reckless und mindful of God?men who lived cleanly lives and died commending their souls to Jesus and bequeathing torches and sheep for their funerals. He was n man every Inch of him! Ho blamed the king's ministers, but he loved the king. At the leer Foy gave him some half roso angrily, but others, of the lower sort, scenting what wns coming, slyly winked and smiled behind their palms. "One could scarce be too severe with such a bloody knave, my lord." "He should rot In Tyburn!" blnaed the old man. "Swelp mo I" cried Foy with a coarso laugh. "And who, gentlemen, think you was this hangman's cur, this dirty factious scoundrel? Why, Colonel Washington, 1' faith?turncoat since the French warl" There wore murmurs at this from all sides, even from these Tories, at the trap that hud been set, at the wanton affront to a friendship that had been well known throughout the colony since the days when Lawrence Wash ington first brought sweet Anne Fair fax from Belvotr to Mount Vernon. "Hound!" ground Henry between hla teeth. A cold hand seemed pressed up on Anne's heart. The stanch old loyalist's face bad turned a grny white. He half choked, and his hand went fumbling to the luce at his throat. He was silent for n mo ment, his great brows together, bis fingers on the arm of the chair clasping and unclasping, while Foy sneered audibly In the quiet. "Not Georgel" ho faltered at length. Something almost like a dry sob es caped him. Ho seemed not to seo the sneering face bofore him, now search ing about for applause. lie turned to the company with a gesture appealing and pathetic. "Why, gentlemen," he said ?"why I've known him since ho was sixteen! I remember in '48 when he wns a ruddy faced boy and ran my lines for me! The Whigs have misled him, maybe, but ho could not take up arms against- bis king!" There was n little stir In the place, n sort of waiting silence. Then a young man arose In the back part of the room and bowed gracefully. It was M. Armand, and he held a slender b tern med glass, which he Oiled. "Messieurs," he s.ild simply, "I am not of your country, nor am I of the allegiance of your king. My country Is o". ? far away, and It Is one that has learned of war to love a soldier a.id a brave num." As he spoke Henry's face rented with a great Hash of surprise and pleasure. He did not see the white nud red changing in his compnnio ." cheek, did not note her uneven breath ?/ taiclt ft to you - vi? doy <>J tin: ftcii? j. e/'.'' nor ii - wondrous beauty that came Koftly courtesy lug in her eyes. The volco went on: "Hut wo of ipy country know one American so well wo know him he cans.' it is against our own arms that he hau fought, before DuqtlCSno. Mes sieurs, I pledge you a brave man. Colonel George Washington!" Armand lifted bis glass grnv >ly as he finished ami drank, nud n little husln-d cheer ran around the room. One could not have told from .'he speak er's face that he knew he had d-unk alone. My Lord Fairfax had no glass, bill ho rose in bis seat and bOWCd to him. The toast drunk \rmuiM set down the glass with a clash o.i to tho table. Ills face been mo nil in once set and cold, and be sro./1 vory straight. "One thing more, messieurs," he said, "we know in my country. We know the courtesy. Our postilions know what is due to tllO gentleman of birth. And thus"- he turned sharply upon Foy? "I leach It to you-you dog of the ken nel!" With this he Hung the glass full into his fnce. Ho unexpected had been thonetion that Anne gave a little scream, unnoted lu the stir across the sill, nud Henry let out a great oath of adinlrntlon. Foy's countenance turned a devil's, and his sword was out before ho got up. Armand bowed to Lord Fairfax and theh lo Foy. 'Monsieur," |io risked the latter, "is the affront to your liking?*' "'Sdenth and wounds!" raved Foy in a fury. "Wo need go no farther than here to settle (Ids! I killed a man at Minden for less." The old baron got up, with the nld of Ids negro body servant, breathing heav ily. "Sirs," lie protested, "lot there be no bloodshed, J beg of you!" "My lord!" Arniand's voice was (pilot and contained, and II was all he said. Lord Fairfax Stopped short, lookcnVnt Ii I in n moment, swallowed and sAod stni. B Holpb cfiuio lurching forward, his shifty eyed sobered by the outcome "Gentlemen," lie cried, "elcat* tho room and Bcud ibo servant* away, Wo shall uced to coufcr." Tho baron crossed Iho room at this and hold ""! I is band. "1 bog of you," ho sail', * to honor mo by your presence I at Grocmvay Court lomorrow." "l thank you, my lord." said Armand. Then the old lunn, With bis head up. j erect and leaning on bid servant's arm. I passed out to ids chariot. Ho Knew 'ery well !hat Foy waa reputed to be the best awordsmtUI In the colon:! s. "Have you a friend who v ill servo?" aked Rolph. Armand shook his head. "Aye," raid Henry llcrccly, and, swinging h!i loiig legs over tho sill, he strode Into the room. "If you will allow mo, sir!"
