MR. ROARBORO NOT TO BLAME. A Communication Which Cam* In Too Lato For Publication Last Waok. Darlington, May 4th, 1896. To The Citizens of Darlington: I understand that Sheriff Q. P. Scarborough is being criticized by the people for not arresting Newitt and Jim Kelly after the decision ot the Supreme Court adverse to them, and I cannot but feel that such an inquiry is a natural one, as they remained around here after the decision was made—or reported made by the newspapers. As the adviser of the Sheriff, he saw me and asked what his duty was in regard to the mat ter. I told him that notice of the adverse decision would have to be sent to the Clerk of our Court—such notice being called a “Hemittitur”—and the Clerk woHd hav#» «rv R*»rv<» such notice on him. That he had no author ity to arrest Kelly until such uouu. i'tiai the decisions of the Supreme Court were only officially known through the Clerk of the Supreme Court, and until he got such notice through its proper officer, or Kelly’s suretiet brought him and gave 1 him up, he would be liable for false arrest if he arrested Kelly, as his bondsmeh—until such legal notice was given—were liable. One of the Kellys was taken in custody by the Sheriff, his surety giving him up after Newitt Kelly shot Smith. (Signed) J. J. Ward, Attorney for G. P. Scarbo rough. Sheriff. A Tribute to Mr. Child. (Clio Newsj Editor Clio News: I had the pleasure of hearing our old friend Rev. R. A. Child, of Darlington, preach today. He had a large congregation, as he always did while he stayed among us, he having preached for us three years, about two years ago I believe he left here, and was acceptable to every body. It shows how high he is hel 1 in the esteem of the people of Clio when he comes in town to see the people flocking to him to shake his hand, and some of us feel like giving him a hug, but not being customary, of coureo we leave that off, but in conclusion will say, when he comes to Clio the latch hangs on the outside of our houses, if we are asleep, for him to come in, for we feel like he is one of us. May he live a long and jiappy life, and after death enter into the city above, is our prayer. Onk of His Old Friends. Cuo, S. C., May 3, 1896. The Discover Saved His Life. Mr. G. Gaillouetto, Druggist, Beaversville, 111., says: “To Dr King’s New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Having Dr. King’s New Discovery in my store I sent for a bottle and began to get better, and after using three bottles was up and about again. It is worth its weight in gold We won’t keep store or house without it.” Get a free trial at Dr. J. A. Boyd’s Drug Store. Both Blundered, rcherleston Evening Poet.] The election of a Tillmanite as executive committeeman in Richland was a stultification of themselves by tl e Democrats of Richland, and the compromise which went through the con vention in Charkston was a stultification of themselves by the Democrats of Charleston. Neither Columbia or Charleston have done themselves credit, and the blundering in ono coun ty does not excuse the blunder ing in the other. Cure for Headache. As a remedy for all forms of Headache.

Sanator THman Tastes One, Miss Evs Booth Quaffs tha Dregs of tha Other, f Rev. W. R. L. Siutth in the Religions Herald.] There have been two excruci ating disappointments in our city of late. Senator Tillman tasted oue, and Miss Eva Booth quaffed the dregs of the other. One hardly knows which of the two sufferers deserves the least sympathy. Each has undertak en to address the people of St. Louis in the Music Hall, which seats about 4,000, and was greet by an audience ranging from 600 to 800. Such a welcome to political charlatauism, and to unreligious noise and absolut ism suits me exactly. Miss Booth seeks to retain the Salva tion Army in abject submission to her autocratic father, which ought to be an impossible task. This, taken with the probable turu of the other wing of th-* Army from the slums to the middle classes, gives one's inter est in the picturesque movement a decided touch of paralysis. Tillman’s deformed pictuns of public distress and lurid de scriptions of smouldering wrath are fatally defective in thequal ity of sincerely His-appeals are singularly well adapted to precipitate the ills he affects to deplore. He is one of the dramat ic and disgusting eccentricities of our political life, which have their little day and cease to be.
