Governor Blease seems to have 1
an indefatigable press agent in the
Charleston News and Courier's ,
Columbia correspondent.
If Lake City increases at the same 5
rate for the next decade she will 1
indeed be a little city. Here's hoping
that she may continue to thrive.

ularly styled the "Coniers" this ;

appropriate name for the chronic i

A bank out West, whose cashier <
committed suicide, is said to have (
been haunted by the spirit of the (
departed official. A sort of "Bank- j
er's" ghost, so to speak. y
\
We congratulate our neighbor ^
town, Greelyville, upon the splendid
showing made in the last census
enumeration. One hundred and
fifty per cent increase in ten years
r
is something to be proud of, really.
_^s
Scranton, too, has made a very *
creditable increase in population ^
since the last census was taken. In I
fact, all the towns in old Williamsburg
have grown handsomely and, i
best of all, the rural districts have
more than kept pace with them. *
The Columbia correspondent of a
morning newspaper must be hard ^
up for "pot boilers" when he wires
his paper that the Governor's front
name is Cole., with a period after the I
' V' ,and adds that most people com'
mit the prodigious blunder of omittiug
the period. Which calls to j
mind old Mr Weller's admonition
to his son: "Spell it with a we, |
Samuel; spell it with a we."
To our patriotic citizens, the cenm
figures as to the population of
vingstree are somewhat disappointing.
Still there is consolation in the
fact that, with the exception oi
Florence and Marion, our town i?
;he higgest between Charleston and
Wilmington, and, withal, we art
more than seven hundred people
Uicad of any other town in Williamsburg
county, according to tin
official figures.
So far as we noticed among oui
exchanges last week, The Record
ivas the only weekly newspaper published
Thursday or earlier that gavt
;he census figures for its homt
,'ounty. Moreover, The Record's
igures were published ahead of
hose of any other paper we saw ex;ept
the Columbia State, in which
iiey were published the same day
is ours, hut circulated here al>out
wo hours earlier than The Record
vas issued.
At Camden a few days ago a
'blind-tiger" was detected peddling
lis stuff in a novel way. He had a
>int of liquor concealed in a walkng
cane, which he carried around
ind retailed at ten cents a drink,
or some time he baffled the local
onstabulary until one embryo
Sherlock Holmes remarked that the
nan was too young and robustooking
to l>e needing a walking
tick, whereupon he proceeded to
xamine the cane and discovered
\w ingenious trick. Clever sleuth!
Country newspapers are proverbilly
"'easy marks" in the hands of
idvertising sharps. Several Weeks
igo \V K Kellogg, the "Toasted
>orn Flakes" man, made us a
proposition to furnish us free (in
plates ready to print) all about a
certain prize competition wherein
the said Kellogg awarded a silvei
:rophy cup for the finest ear of corr
produced last year. He included ir
liis liberal proposition cuts of th?
trophy cup and the prize ear. Th<
whole story was a thinly veiled ad
irertisement for "Corn Flakes," yel
it is surprising how many papers
swapped their space?their stock-in
trade?literally for an ear of corn
Charleston is in the throes of ?
Pitter municipal campaign. Hon
R G Rhett, who has served the citj

>race. To a looker-on at this angle,
the race is really between Major
iyde and Mr Grace, Mr Hughe?
wing rather a negligible factor,
/rith the Chanel's decidedly in favoi
>f Major Hyde. Charleston politics
-to express it mildly?is pretty un:ertain,
but we hardly think the
>roud old "City hy the Sea" is
eady to dishonor traditions by thus
ignally honoring a man who seems
o unworthy of the confidence of the
>eople.

and admitted to bail on the

was re-arrested on a warrant covering

"IT'S A LIE," SAYS PLEASE. (
Our Governor Applies the Short
and Ugly Word to Ga. Official.
Columbia, April 24: ? Officially
noticing today the incident of the
Langdon Cheves portrait that caused
the writing of so many editorials in |
out-of-the-State papers,coupled with ,
the recent refusal to grant a requisi-!
tion made by the Governor of Georgia,
Governor Blcase has branded as
"lies" certain statements made by
Secretary Ulm. who is Governor Joseph
Brown's private secretary.
Governor Blease was asked today: >
"Have you seen the article in the'
Atlanta Georgian of Governor
Brown's secretary in reference to
yourself?"
The Governor replied as follows:
"Yes, I have noticed it, and I am
glad to say that the people of South
Carolina have not, up to date, repudiated
my administration and ordered
me to take a back seat, as they
have Mr Ulm. His statement that I
aid that I 'do not know one Lang*
don Cheves, nor where he is now at'
is a lief of the whole cloth,as the correspondence
in this office will plainly
show, and which has already been
furnished the press.
"As to knowing the constitution
in regard to requisitions, I am thoroughly
posted on the matter, and the
Governor of Georgia will also be if
he will read Governor Ansel's paper
at the Conference of Governors on !
this subject. i
"The man who wrote here for
Cheves's picture got a nice, respectable(ful?)
answer, and his efforts to
blackmail me or my secretary in the
matter were both dirty and contemptible
and could only come from a
source similar to a sewer pipe, which
carries filth. I don't know Ulm, but
from his writing,I can easily see why I
the people of Georgia repudiated
Governor Brown."
BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.
Th?y Have Peculiar Qualities Which
Baffle the Counterfeiter.
About the year 1819 a great outcry
was raised against the Bank of
England for not adopting a style of
note that could not be imitated and
at the same time preventing the
sacrifice of life which at that period
was common, the punishment for
forgery being death. The subject
at last became so pressing that the
government appointed commissioners
to investigate the cause of the
numerous forgeries and whether a
mode could be devised whereby the
forging of banknotes might be prevented.
Previous to this investigation the
directors of the bank had been endeavoring
to remedy the evil, many
plans having been submitted to
them, all of which they were
obliged to reject, says the Scientific
American.
The bank placed before the commissioners
180 different projects
that had been recommended for
adoption and seventy varieties of
paper made by way of experiment.
The result of all this labor was the
banknote of today.
The color of the paper is peculiar
and cannot be imitated exactly by
counterfeiters except at great expense.
The combined thinness and
strength of the paper are also
unique. It is made in sheets large
enough for two notes, ^acn note ]
before it is sized weighs about |
eighteen grains, and then if doubled j
it is strong enough to suspend a
weight of thirty-six pounds.
The texture of the paper is also
peculiar. It has a crisp feel invariably
the same and sucn that bank
clerks of experience can readily detect
forgeries by this test alone.
Then the wire mark impressed in
the making by a frame, costly to
make and difficult to use, is practically
inimitable.
Each note has thin, rough edges
uncut, not to be produced by any
mode of cutting paper that is not
devised expressly for the purpose.
The paper for printing is dampened
with water in the exhausted receiver
of an air pump. The ink used
in the plate printing is made of
Frankfort black, which is composed
of the charcoals of the tendrils and
husks of the German grape ground
with linseed oil. This ink has a ,
peculiar and very deep shade of
black, common black inks being
tinted either with blue or brown.

Cough Remedy," writes Mrs T B
Kendrick, Rasaca, Ga. "It is the
best cough remedy on the market
for coughs, colds and croup-" For
