Bailey, the Cynic. /" In the United States Senate last week when Senator Bailey was tryw iog to explain his vote for a tax r C on lumber. Senator Tillman, is f quoted as remarking, in a oollot^uy with Senator Bailey "But lumber is a ueceBsity ot life which the Senator (Bailev) said he would U ""except aud put on the free list." "Oh, uo," replied Mr Bailey, j?; "poor people do not build houses." To which Mr Tillman replied: j-' . "All Southern people are poor to a great extent, and I'll swear they do have some houses down there." Which retort, of course, elicited & * laughter and applause from the galleries. Senator Bailey's cynical remark: I*. "Poor people do not build houses" L -Jfctf-ltoefore do not need lumber Jr at any price), recalls the historic bit of repartee perpetrated by the ill-fated Marie Autoinette. When the queen was told that her sub L jects lacked bread, she replied: - "Ob, well, let them eat cake." The last official act of Governor if Hoke Smith of Georgia last week was to pardon fifteen convicts, six L of whom are murderers. What a ft record for one day, to turn loose r- on sooiety fifteen men convicted ?f crime by presumably intelligent and unprejudiced juries and sen fenced by righteous judges?and six of them murderers! Governor % Smith's whole administration seems to nave been an ignominious failare and the people of Georgia are! to be congratulated that the cur-' tain has been rung down on the j regime of a self-seeking, designing politician, ready to plunge the dagger mto any person'or iusti- i tution that stood m the way of j I bis ambition. ! That the country newspapers are feeling what Bill Nye called "the scarcity- of the stringency," is evidenced by the fact that every week we hear of "weakly"! papers consolidating, selling out, i suspending publication or flitting' from one town to another pursu-1 suing the if/nix fat mis of a better field. The main trouble is that too many of these ventures are founded principally on __rainbow I prospects, and the bauk of hope | is notoriously slow to cash checks i in the good old summer time. While we differ from our Rutledge county friends as to the necessity or advisability of creating a new county along the lines proposed, nevertheless we freely offer them the privilege of our columns to present any argument they may wish to offer in favor of the new county, or to point out any error we may have inadvertently made in our discussion of the subject. Elogstree vs. Georgetown. Two games of baseball were played here last week on Thursday and Friday afternoons, respectively, between Kiugstree and Georgetown. The first game resulted in a score of 8 to 0 in favor of Georgetown, while, in the second game, the home hoys tamed the tables and won by a score of 8 to 2. Batteries: for Georgetown, first game, Rosenback and Baunermau; second game, Bannerman, Rosenback and Green. For Kingstr^e, first game, Gilland, W S, and Jacobs; secoud game, Gilland, J D, and Singletary. The home boys haye had very little practice this season and the. notice given was so short that they had scarcely time to get a team together for the series with Georgetown.

Mr A L Royster, a clerk in the service of the Southern railway, was drowned Monday morning while trying to swim across the Columbia canal. William Rudd, a prominent young business man of Greenwood, was fatally injured as the result of a Seaboard train striking his automobile while attempting to cross the railroad track at Salek, three nnles east of Greenwood.

The National Ginners' association gives the average condition of the cotton crop up to June 24 as 75.

Everyone would be benefited by taking Foley's Oriuo Laxative for stomach and liver trouble and habitual constipation. It sweetens the stomach and breath, gently stimulates the liver and regulates the bowels aud is much superior to pills and ordinary laxatives. Why not try Foley 8 Orino Laxative today? I? C Scott.

Gov Ansel has ordered a special 'term of court for July 27 to try John Jenkins, the negro accused of attempted rape in Georgetown county. The body of a white man was fouud in Colonial lake, Charleston, Tuesday morning. The body was naked, but the man's clothes were found on the bank. It is not known whether the man was drowned while bathing or committed suicide. He was a stranger, but was identified as Oscar Villinger of Augusta, Ga. A new bank has been organized at Aiken, the First National Bank. The city of Charleston voted Tuesday on the question of issuing $400,000 worth of bonds for com?' pletiug the sewerage system. The vote resulted 1237 for sewerage and 58 opposed to it.

Several Kansas editors are now "hollering" that the "old man" should have an inniug. Should they have it? By all means. Give the old man his chance at the bat. Let him cavort in his $10 hand-me-down, suit, his last summer's straw hat and his bargain-counter brOgans, Of course he looks pretty bum in that raiment alongside of daughter with her $25 inverted flour barrel top piece, her $50 gown with the waist at the knees, her French heeled pattern pumps and the rest of the stuff that goes with glad feminine decorations. But h??is "dad." nevertheless. "Ma." * Thought Microbes In a Drop of Ink. fSTZ^l When applied to the newspaper they oiake people think twice. First, people think there's a mar keeps up with -the procession. Second, tlicy think he must ke^. good goods on hand. Again, if the home paper has enough drops of advertising ink on its surface to make a proper showing the outsider thinks this must be a pretty lively town. Thus a drop of NEWSPAPER AT VERTISING INK Is a good thing ft the town. A Dubious Tribute. The young theological student who had been supplying the Bushby pulpit for two Sundays looked wistfully at Mrs. Kingman, his hostess for the time being. "Did yon like the sermon this morning, if I may ask?" he inquired. "You done real well with the ma- . terial you selected," said Mrs. Kingman with much cordiality. "As I said to Zenas on the way home, 'I've heard a dozen or more sermons preached on that text, and this young man's the first one that ever made me realize how difficult 'twas to explain.1"?Youth's Companion. Delay in commencing treatment for a slight irregularity that could have been cured quickly by Foley's Kidney Remedy may result in a serious kidney disease.
