Editor News: —I have been
wondering wny so little was
heard from the South Carolina
Senator, in advocacy of the
Revolutionary platform, which
he aided in building at Chicago,
but your article headed “Tired
of Tillman” solves the problem.
He is too radical even for the
Chicago platform radical.
His attempt to spread Tillman-
ism over the United States, has
met with a lebuke at which all
true democrats rejoice.

Compliments About The Roads.
There seems to be great com
plaint about the working of the
roads in this county. People in
different sections are claiming
ihat they have paid their road
taxes but are not getting the
be lefit of their mone \ The
supervisor is doubtless doing his
duty as he understands the law,
but there seems to be great un
certainty as to what is the law
on the subject. The new sys
tem of working the roads is an
experiment, and, of course at
first everything does not work
smoothly. If the people will
be patient for a while it is pro
bable that the system will be
perfected and all will be satis
fied.
The Last of The Crimnial Cases Tried
at This Term of Court. The
Heaviest Docket in Years.
The State vs. Ely Pompey,
murder. Verdict guilty, with
recommendation to the mercy
of the court. Sentence, Im
prisonment in the State peni
tentiary during the whole life
of the defendant.
The State vs. William Tedder,
Jr., Assault and battery with
intent .to kill. Verdict guilty.
Sentence six months in the State
penitentiary or six months on
public works of the County or
a fine of $125.
This completed the trial of
cases by tbe Jury sn the crim
inal court.
This has been the heaviest
criminial docket for years,
TO MAKE BRYAN A SENATOR.
Silver Fusionists of Washington Pro
pose a Suitable Reward ior their
Leader's Hard Work in the Re
cent Campaign.
Seattle, Nov. 9.—Aboom has
started here for Wm. J. Bryan
for United States Senator from
this State. Tne silver Fusion
ists will control the Senator-
ship. The Constitution of
Washington provides that to be
eligible to the office the candi
date shall be merely an “inhab
itant” of the State at the time
of his election, so that the Fu
sion majority could elect Mr.
Bryan without any trouble.
Richard Windsor, Sr., the Pop
ulist leader in Washington, and
James Hamilton Lewis, Demo
cratic Fusionist and member-
elect of Congress, are rival,
candidates for the Senatorship,
and Mr. Bryan has been sug
gested as a compromise.
The Vote of the County for President,
Governor snd Congressman.
The total number of votes
cast for President and Vice
President in Darlington county
is 1847, of which Bryan and
Sewall received 1625, Palmer
and Buckner 21 and McKinley
and Hobart 75. According to
the official count Palmer re
ceived votes at only 4 precinct,
—Mechanicsville 1, Garners’
Mill 3, Earley’s Cross Roads 7
and Darlington 10.
For Congress J. L. McLaunn,
received 1613, J. E. Wilson 144
and Geo. H. McKee 96, total
1853.
Out of 1823 votes cast for
Governor, Ellerbe received 1650,
Wallace 147 and Pope 56. There
were no candidates to oppose
the nominees of the primary for
county offices. The negro vote
is very light—very few of them
are registered and those reg'
istered must have taken very
little interest in voting.

Editor Bishopville Mirror.
Please allow me to make the
following corrections as to the
E laces where elections will be
eld—On'Nov. 17th to deter
mine the f.;te of Salem County.
In Darlington Co.—Ashland,
Cypress and Lamar. In Sumter
G°—St. Charles, Reids Mill,
Manville, Spring Hill and Bish
opville. In Kershaw County,
Schrocks Mill, Tillers Ferry,
and Lynchwood. Provided tne
Election is held at Lynchwood,
within the limits of the prospec
ive County at the General Elec
tion Nov. 3rd. At all of the
places named on Nov. 17th, 1896,
the Polls will be opened at 7
o clock A. M., and close at 4 P.
M. All persons who have their
Registration Certificates, and
Poll Tax receipts for the year
1895 are qualified Electors.
Pave them ready friends and go
to the polls and vote. It is for
you to say whether or not Sa
lem County shall be formed, and
where the County Seat shall be.
I hear it is being asserted by
some enemies of the movement
to establish Salem County that
Bishopville is the only place
that can be voted for, for the
County Seat.” “That the Pro
clamation ordering the Election
so declares.” Such assertions
show either the grossest ignor
ance, or a fixed purpose to mis
lead the uninformed, and by
misrepresentations poison their
minds against the whole move
ment. The facts are that the
people will vote, and keep vot
ing until two thirds of those
who do vote agree on some one
place for a County Seat, and a
name for it. Let no man de
ceive or mislead you neither
will it be wise to follow a blind
man and with him fall in a
ditch.

Panzebeter Kills Himself.
St. Stephens, Nov. 9.—The
people of old St Stephens were
shocked when it was announced
that Fred Panzebeter had com
mitted suicide here yesterday.
Only a few years ago he was
married to Miss Inman, of
Georgetown. He, with his
charming young wife, returned
to his old home in St. Stephens,
and was engaged in business for
some time. After leaving here
did business in Orangeburg,
Columbia and Augusta Ga.
From Augusta he and his wife
returned nere on Friday night
last.
Though he had been to the
asylum for a short time last
year, yet on Saturday his health
was as good and his manner as
calm as usual, and there was
nothing to indicate the rash act
which occured yesterday. He
and his wife occupied a room on
the lower floor. Shortly after
2 o’clock a. m. two pistol shots
were heard Mrs. Panzebeter
came screaming from the room,
the blood rushing from her arm.
An examination showed that
two balls had taken affect.
Soon another shot was fired,
and on entering the room Mr.
Panzebeter was found in the
middle of the floor in an uncon
scious condition with a pistol
ball through his temple.
The community was alarmed,
and a physician was soon on the
spot, but Mr. Panzebeter had
passed beyond the power of
medical aid. His loud gasping
for breath was horrifying, and
could be heard to the street.
The blood flowed freely from
the wound, and soon the entire
floor was covered. He died at
7 o’clock.
Mrs. Panzebeter, though
much excited, rests easy at this
time, as her wounds proved to
be only flesh wounds, from
which she will soon recover.
Never have two people lived in
more perfect harmony than did
husband and wife in this case,
and while Mr. Panzebeter was
all attention to his wife, there
was never a more loving wife
than Mrs. Panzebeter.
Mr. Panzebeter is a member
of a historic family of this place,
the possessors of a large fortune
at one time. He was an active
business young man, and no
definite reason can be assigned
for this rash act other than that
owing to his decline of health
and decline of fortune, his mind
may have been taxed beyond
its power.
Mr. Panzebeter was at one
timo a student of the Porter
Military academy.

call.

counties are concerned.
Mr. G. H. Mims offers a re
ward for the recovery of a fine
buggy robe which he lost a
short time ago on the road
leading from Timmonsville to
Lamar.
Where, oh where are our pub
lic road bosses and do they
mean for us to jump ditches or
cross on bridges? If tbe latter,
they should proceed to build or
repair some that are very bad
at present in this corner of the
world. .
A young man from an ad
joining section recently called
on some young ladies*of this
section and as the evening wore
on, the sport in question wish
ed to know of one of the lassies
present why she did not talk
some. She promptly replied
that she thought little folks
should be seen and not heard.
The joke seemed to turn his
way, as he is not at all over
grown.
