and literary to the point of
Kwodncing himself some books whose
Hnerit will be recognized for time im^ eeasorial.

By profession, he if known equally as

Wmpt only to himself bat even to the

^BsU* Kis life was not. confined to
Hfe field. Lawyer, statesman, sol^Ber,
cifcisen, neighbor?he lived well
d honorably in every one of these
Malicious Mischief. *
Last Saturday night some mali- 1
cious and Irresponsible persons, contaminated
with the idea that to commit
depredations is but to make the
so-called fun spicy, went about over
the town under the same cover of c
darkness that conceals the move- 1
ments of the worst criminal, tearing '
down signs of all kinds, removing
gates and blockading streets with
debris of any and every description.
Legitimate fun in its right place
causes us all to laugh, bat when the
acts merge into plain, malicious mischief,
we think it i6 time for as all
to express our open and unequivocal
disapproval. These young men,
doubtless with their misconceived
idea of fun-making, thought that the
whole town would look upon such
depredations with a smirk of approval
but none will tto this unless it is
wiaj)ed to enoourage more outrageous
conduct in the future. Nothing is
fun which causes one's neighbors to
lose financially, 8nd which endangers
the walking of the sidewalks or the
use of the streets at night. To ?prevent
a repetition of this thing, we
think an indictment or two would re
call some of these maranders to their 1
senses and prevent a worse thing of *
the kind in the fntnre. Such socalled
fun-making is mean, cowardly {
and malicious, and those who partici- j
pated in its making, show their kind ]
by resorting to the protection of *
night.
Tillman Juror's Ideas.
Few things have been printed J
more grimly grotesque than the 1
letter from one of the Tillman jn- 1
rors to a South Carolina newspaper <
which we reprodnoe elsewhere says i
the Bichmond News Leader. It is *
a cnrious and dteeply interesting *
Tlia inmr ia mrAlv hMrd i

from by the public. This juror ia 1
heard from and we cannot recall 1
another instanoe where the hopeless
mental confusion of an ignorant man 1
grappling with a seriom subject is
so vividly illustrated. 1
This juror evidently lost sight en- t
tirely of the question with which he I
was chosen and sworn to deal? 1
whether the killing of Gonzales by <
Tillman was murder. It will be observed
that he does not consider
whether or not the killing was done 1
in self-defence. Evidently he had a
tShn notion that the dead man was on )
trial before him and that his fnnc- 1
ton was to decide whether the vie- 1
m deserved death on general prin- i
ciplee. ;
He lays down as one of his guiding J
principles that all the "annals of <
TT* .1 ? * a AAnon nf q man
XXIBbUrj UVU0V vi a mubv vt < ?mu
being hanged for killing an editor. ;
Some notion that an editor is some- ]
how different from other human beings
and subject to pnoishment like
a noxious wild animal when he becomes
troublesome or offensive is
floating abont in the chaotic mind
of this good and true man of Lexington
County. This view, which
probably is widely prevalent in his
class, makes a comfortable outlook
for South Carolina journalism.
The belief that the "state could
make an appeal if dissatisfied with
the verdict, that the purpose ai.d
dnty of the jury was to limit and define
the "liberties of your press,"
the suggestion that 6ome more blood
be shed by editors going over the
Georgia line to fight Jim Tillman
are all worthy of the distorted ana
charned-ap ideas of a savage catching
his first glenm of civilization.
They are horribly fascinating when
we find them in a white man serv- j
ing as a juror and representing the
guardianship of the Jstafce's dignity
and peace in a land of old civilization
in the year 1903.
A RUNAWAY BICYCLE
Terminated with an ugly cut on '
the leg of J B Oruer, Franklin Grove

unyielding to doctors and remedy for

Editor County Record:?
I am in receipt of your request 1
hat I pay over the sum of $12.75 d
:or subscription and advertising.
[ am surprised at your persistency in
ittempting to make me pay this account.
For three years I edited and r
nanaged a country paper and my d
mbscribers were of the opinion (and \
io acted) that in subscribing for my 1
japer an honor was conferred which t
nore than equalized any expense ]
.hat I underwent in supplying them,
ind I began to take this uew of the ,
natter myself, but before doing so I \
lad to sell out the paper. c
Of course a man must pay for his 1
louse rent, groceries, etc. Should i
le fail in this respect real estate i
vould decline in value and comnerce
be crippled. This of course
ihould be avoided, but when the ?
jnblic is being educated and sup- a
died with the news of the day this
iboald De a matter 01 missionary
fork on the part of the printer and
,he editor and should under no cirinmataucee
be charged for. This *
fas the view of my subscribers when
[ ran a paper, and it is with pride j
;hat 1 can say that my subscribers s
vere the peers of any in intelligence *
ind morality, most of them belong- '
ng to the Methodist and Baptist j
churches, whose orthodoxy cannot be f
wsailed with impunityby those seek- 1
ng political honors or preferment; *
lence it is not surprising that I as- !
iumed from the preponderance of the (
testimony that they must be right- (
ind I wrong. t
Acting upon that assumption I
save heretofore treated your sdpplicaaon
with the oontumely Jdeserved, 1
5nt your importunities hare of late '
l>ecome very tonoyiug and as a conlequeuce
I enclose check for your

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood In your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they filter
out the waste or
Impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fall to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheumatism
come from excess
of uric acid in the
blopd, due to neglected
kianey trouDie.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart Is
over-working In pumping thick, kidneypoisoned
blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their beginning
in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The jnild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by ail druggists in fiftycent
and one-dollar riz- yjyffiai
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Hom# of B**mp-itoot.
Jree. also pamphlet telling you how to find
out If you have kidney or bladder trouble.
Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilroetf

Don't make any mistake, but reuember

Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the adiress,
