"In men whom men condemn a# ill, I find so much of goodness still; < man ufhnm men Dronounce divine, I I find so much of sin and blot? I hesi'^te to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." THURSDAY. NOV..13. 1913. The Orangeburg'Times and Dem-j i ocrat savs that Senator MeLaurin - | fell, like Cromwell, "never to rise again." What Cromwell? Not Oliver, surely. In a letter to the daily newspav i / * pers' of the State, published last j Sunday, Senator Tillman says that he intends to support Senator E D Smith againsb Blease anil will do all he can to re-elect his colleague to the United State Senate. Adolphus Busch, the St Louis brewer recently deceased, left in his will 8210,000 to charity. Not so much from an estate estimated at forty million dollars, the acquiring of which doubtless conduced to the making of many objects of charity. It seems to be equally hard for . the Bleaseites and the anti-Bleaseites to pick an entirely suitable candidate for Governor. That being the case, why not get together and select a conservative man in whom both factions have full confidence and let us cease this bickering. Lowndes J Browning, Esq, former Representative in the General Assembly from Union county and chairman of the ways and means committee of the Legislature, has announced his candidacy for Governor. This makes about seven in the Held at present, including John T Duncan, who, like "Cansler of Tirzah," is a perpetual candidate. We have on our desk a copy of the Manning "Herald," a weekly newspaper recently started at the county seat of Clarendon, with Mr J K Breedeen as editor. Without flattery, we may say that The Herald is one of the brightest and l>est printed county-seat weeklies in the i .r Mate. We naven i rue pleasure ui personal acquaintance with the "men behind thegun," but they surely f&e no 'prentice hands at the business of getting out a newspaper. The terrible tragedy which occurred last Sunday neat* Sumter should l>e an object lesson and a warning to every one who lias to handle kerosene and gasoline for any purpose whatsoever.

Jajjl ! EVERY DRUGIST HAS IT I 13-78 ings are we to handle kejjpsene with contempt, bred by familiarity, that so oft en recoils upon us with disastrous results. , Based on his experience the past week, Editor Freeman, of the Bennettesville Advocate and Pee Dee Daily, could doubtless add an interesting chapter to "What Constitutes a Busy Man." To have to get out a daily and a weekly paj>er fair week and then have the stork to visit one's home all at the same time, we fancy, would be just about all one would desire to know about the strenuous life. Our sympathy and congratulation go out to our friend according to the requirements of his case. COTTON G1NNERS' REPORT. Number Bales Falls Slightly Behind Last Year Same Time.

XXX The State conference of the Daughters of the Revolution met in Columbia Tuesday evening. XXX Secretary of State Bryan denies the report that President Wilson has sent any sort of "ultimatum" to President Huerta of Mexico. XXX Rill Ou,pns. a neero living near Bucksport, in Horry county, is in jail at Conway, charged with killing his father, Simon Owens, Siinday morning. XXX The Commercial Bank of Greenwood has been chartered with a capital of $100,000. This is the fifth bank for the thriving little city of Greenwood.

XXX Mrs Elizabeth Blease, the stepmother of Governor Cole L Blease, died at her home in Newberry Sunday night, November 2, from the effect of a stroke of paralysis. XXX Governor Felker of New Hampshire has honored the requisition of the State of New York for the extradition of Harry K Thaw, which means that the case is transferred to the Federal courts, where a writ of habeas corpus on behalf .of Thaw is Dending. XXX President Wilson has notified President Huerta that he must resign the presidency of Mexico without loss of time and that he must not name as his successor any member of his official family. This notification is taken to mean that the United States will aid Carranza and the insurgent forces in Mexico agrinst Huerta and his government. XXX George R Rembert, Representative in the General Assembly from Richland county and a candidate for Governor, died at his home in Columbia Saturday night, after an illness of several weeks. XXX Ed Sibley, of Chester county, is under arrest charged with the killing of J Ross Yongue Friday night of last week. The weapon used was an axe and the details of thei crime are unusually brutal, the encounter being the sequel of an old grudge between the two men. XXX W B Smith Whaley, formerly of Charleston and Columbia, is promoting the organization of a company, capitalized at $10,000,000, to build at Oklahoma City a cotton mill of 600,000 spindles and 15,000 lopms, to employ 2,500 persons, according to a lengthy dispatch from Oklahoma City to The Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, New York.

XXX Mrs Ed Whooton, a white woman who lived near Sumter, was the victim of a horrible accident Sunday morning, being burned to death when she attempted to kindle a fire witb the aid of a can of kero sene. The accident happened early in the morning and Mrs Whooton lived until two o'clock in the afternoon, when death relieved her sufferings. The unfortunate woman had poured some oil from the can on the wood, but it failed to ignite and, she, thinking the fire had died out, tilted the can to pour some more, when the flames shot up the spout of the can, which burst and scattered burning oil all over her clothing, burning every particle of clothes off her body. Not a piece of skin was left on her body except on the top of her head and the soles of her feet. Her husband tried to save her, but got there too late and he was painfully burned also.

The Kingstree County Record prints a very interesting letter from , Ernest M Joye, the Williamsburg! boy who for the second year in sue-! cession won first prize in the boys' corn contest for South Carolina. The j yield this year was 158 bushels; or ! 365 bushels on one acre in two years, Mr Jacob Phinizy, of the Georgia 1 Central Bank, of Augusta, wrote to young Joye that he would add $50 to the State premium if he could see the corn measured, as he did not believe that 150 bushels could be grown on upland without a system of irrigation. In reference to thi3 Joye says: "He is right in the majority of cases, but, as I wrote him yesterday, irrigation would not have been any improvement on our seasons last or this year, and if a storm had not damaged my corn so badly this year, coming just as it began earing and breaking off so much of it, I woulflfc ! have shown at least thirty bushels _ 1 j ? ? A __ a1 f more to my credit. un tne prize acre this year there were 19,000 plants. The yield was 10,635 pounds of shucked earcorn, giving approximately 84 pounds of kernels and 16 of cobs per hundredweight. The section of country in which young Joye made his record is just being opened up to railroad development. It is one of the finest agricultural regions in the State.?Ntus and Courier. THIS IS CERTAIN The Proof That Kingsfree Readers Cannot Deny. What could furnish stronger evidence of the efficiency of any remedy than the test of time.
