$ CAPT. W. L. WOOD.
3 by w. d. s. ;
* * **** ********** * %**.**!
Capt. W. L. Wood wa3 a self-made
man. He started out in this world
with nothing but good health and pluck,
with a determination to make some
thing of himself?and he succeeded ad
mirably. When he died he was one of
the largest landowners in Sullivan
township and ranked as one of our best
farmers, which he learned in the school
of experience.
He was overseer in Laurens, New
berry and Greenville counties and
learned much of the ways of our col
ored brother; so, when he settled down
on his own farm, he knew exactly how
to manage the negro. He could get
more work out of him, and with greater
ease, than could most of the old slave
owners.
He was very fond of military life,and
raised a company in the 14th South
Carolina regiment for Confederate ser
vice. When the regiment went to Vir
ginia he was too old to stand active
service in that cold climate, and had to
come he. .e. His wife took charge of
the plantation during his absence, and
she raised fine crops. She also col
lected his debts and placed the money
in cotton. When Captain Billy re
turned from the war she had over one
hundred bales of cotton stored up for
him. The sales of this cotton was put
in lands, which sold very cheap at that
time, which was the basis of a fine for
tune for his family. What a blessing
a good woman is to a man! And often
she is not duly appreciated.
He was as tough as whitleather. One
day ho came over to the store and Dr.
Barney Smith said to him: ?*
"Captain, let me cut that wen ofi*
your forehead."
"All right, sir," replied Capt. Wood.
They went around to Dr. Smith's of
fice and were gone so long that I went
to see what they were doing. I found
Smith with a knife cutting out the wen,
and he had the captain as bloody as a
stuck hog. No one being present to as
sist, I had no idea that he would let the
doctor perform the operation. After
the job was over and bis head bound
up he mounted his horse and rode
home.
On another occasion he went up to
Fork Shoals factory and had the "In
dian doctor" cut a tumor off the back
of his neck. That evening he rode back
home. He would hoe corn in his bot
toms until he got wet with perspira
tion, then go into Beaver Dam creek
with his clothes on and roll over and
over until he got cooled off, then pick
up his hoe and go to work again.
Very few men have the endurance of
Capt. Wm. L. Wood.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its Btages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutions! treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di
rectly upon the blood f..id mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

Rich Suber, the Goldville negro who
was convicted of manslaughter at the
recent term of the criminal court, has
been sent to the county chaingang for
five years. After his conviction coun
sel made a motion for a new trial, and
the appeal was taken under advisement
by the court until last Saturday, when
Judge Gage announced that the mo
tion could not be granted and there
upon passed sentence on Suber, giving
him five years.

TILLHAN TALKS TO
STATE LAWMAKERS
Addressed the General Assembly on the
Subject "Immigration and Its Rcla.
lion to the Race Question."
Columbia, January 23. Senator Till
man addressed the General Assembly
tonight on "Immigration and its Rela
tion to the Race Question."
His speech was listened to with
marked attention by the large audience
present, and was highly commended by
the large majority.
The members of the Senate und
House were very nearly all present,
and in addition the lobbies and galler
ies were well tilled, many ladies being :
present. Lieutenant-Governor McLeod |
presided and introduced the speaker. !
Senator Tillman reviewed the events
of reconstruction, and told how the!
yoke had been thrown off by the white
people. He declared that the present
franchise laws are merely temporary in
view of the fact that the negroes are
becoming educated and able to comply I
with the suffrage qualifications. At \
the same time they are increasing in ,
numbers more rapidly than the whites. |
There were two remedies he suggested.
First, we must have an increase in'
white population. He pointed out how I
the State had been populated by foreign
peoples at different stages of its his- i
tory, and declared that we must seek
through wise means more white set
tlers, people of kindred ideas, who will
become owners and renters of land,
not laborers. He" said that we need not
expect to compete with other more fa- j
vored sections on equal terms.
In order to make this State more at
tractive be advocated the ainage of
coast lands by the national govern
ment, on the same plan the irrigation
work is being carried on in the West.
His scco/ul remedy is the repeal of
the Fifteenth amendment. He told how
his speeches on this question had been
received 'in the North and West, and
declared that he believed the people of
those sections will listen to the demand
of the South that the amendment be
repealed.
His argument on this linn was well
reasoned and logical, and nowhere in
his address was there any bitterness or
vituperation. At times the senator
rose to heights of eloquence, and es
pecially when he declared his love for
South Carolina, the State which had
showered honors upon him.
The fact that there is now being
started a determined fight to stop the
work done the last few years to induce
immigration to South Carolina by abol
ishing the immigration bureau lends
particular appropriateness to the sena
tor's address. He did not refer to this
matter at all, and may not have been
informed on the situation, but there is
certainly no reason to doubt where ho
stands on the immigration issue.
The Pure Hood Law.
Secretary Wilson says, "One of the
objects (Tf the law is to inform the con
sumer of the prosence of certain harm
ful drugs in medicines." The law re?
quires that the amount of chloroform,
opium, morphine, and other habit form
ing drugs be stated on the label of each
bottle. The manufacturers of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy have always
claimed that their remedy did not con
tain any of these drugs, and the truth
of this claim is now fully proven, as no
mention of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. Its value has been
proven beyond question during the
many years it has been in general use.

Shot His Wife in the Back.
A negro known as "Big" John Smith
was brought up from Clinton on Mon
day afternoon by Chief of Police S. C.
Roid and lodged in jail, charged with
shooting his wife. The shooting oc
curred Sunday night at the cabin of
Smith, jealousy being the alleged causo.
The woman is said to have started to
enter the door when her irate husband
leveled his gun on her. Instantly she
turned to flee when Smith fired, the
charge taking effect in the woman's
back. She is dangerously wounded and
may not recover.

There is a mean between the two extremes
illustrated by the miser and the spendthrift. For
this mean we should aim. There is an ideal that
avoids both stinginess and wastefulness. There
