A FEW REFLECTIONS. Editor Bali Delivers Himself of Some Sound and;Sensib?e Views. Weobserve that while practi? cally ali the papers condemn the verdict and denouuce Tillman, some <it them say that Mr. Gonzales was "too bitter*' and "too harsh." Even the paper which used the harshest of all expressions towards Tillman, which compared him to F. J. Moses, says this. The Advertiser did not denounce Tillman before he shot Mr. Gonzales, because we believed it un? necessary. Mr. Gonzales believed that it was necessary to expose him to prevent him from becoming gov? ernor. After che primary Tillman said that Gonzales accomplished his defeat. Now Gonzales's statements were either truths or falsehoods. If ?bey were.irfltdws. Mr. Gonzales could apt say them tot* strongly or too often, so io ag as Tillman's candi? dacy remained. If they wore false? hoods, they sbotild have been clear? ly and fii?y 'answered. They have never beeil answered except by de? nials. If Gonzales had made those charges against Hey ward or Talbert, nobody would have, been stung by them. Sapposo The Advertiser should denounce I?. C. Hey ward as an embezzler to-day. nobody would believe?**. Hey ward would be more popular fnnurit than before. False? hoods rarely burt an honest man. If Tillman was a bad man and Gon? zales believed it bis duty to expose bim, he was right tc hew to the line ; otherwise be should have said noth? ing. If Gonzales's statements bad been false, they would not have pre? vented Tillman's election. If they were false, and Tillman can prove it, Tillman may still! be elected gov? ernor. In The Advertiser's judg? ment he is as fully entitled to the governorship now as he was to a ver? dict of acquittai. Some Laurens man has already nominated him for governor. If by shooting Gonzales be wiped the accusations from his character, he is in better position to ran for governor next year than he was last year. Is not that true? By the way, if Tillman bad been elected governor, who believes that be would have shot Mr. Gonzales. Some people say: 4*If I were de? nounced as Tillman was by Gon? zales, I would shoot too, whether I was guilty or not/' We doubt if a man, knowing himself innocent, would feel it worth while to shoot. Let ns suppose this case : You wake up some night, and see a burglar with a pistol at your bedside, searching your trousers' pockets. Yun recognize him, but he escapes. Next day you go to church and that man is nominated and is about to be elected a deacon. You rise and point to him before the whole con? gregation, and say : "That man is a ?3?zrgiar." He shoots you down in ^year tracks. Yegi, there are plenty 'Of *seopie here and- elsewhere who would say that ihe burglar was ?right. "I would ?hoot, too, if I were denounced as a burglar." They for _get that the man really was a bur? glar. The fact is. that most of the -charges that appeared in The State .originated with other papers. The charges that Gonzales made, he ac? companied with overwhelming evi? dence. They have never been met.J The editor of The Advertiser con? cedes that to expose bad men run sing for o??ee is not pleasant and uot paying. We are inclined to let the'o?her fellow be the martyr. We. are inciioed to say that if the people -of tins S ta te wish a criminal for some hijrh office, they ought to have him. Perhaps our better nature may assert itself and we may do our duty as Mr. Gonzales did his, but we do notfeei that way now. Nothing is easier than to run a demure little newspaper that drips molasses on soul-savers aud hen-roost robbers alike. *?t pays. It brings, money to the editor's pocket. The people of South Carolina will not soon have another Gonzales. They will not have another editor who will take hi? life itt.his hands to expose the ci i ve keepers, the gamblers, blind tigers and their friends in Columbia. They will not have a man who will antagonize the wealth of the State because be believes lt right. The faet is that Gonzales was one of the few great editors left who was not owned or influenced from the out? side. In.che^e days nearly all large daily paper? are partly owned by ?Treat corporations. The people who really lest to th? the death of Gon? zales are the poor people, such peo? ple as made up the Tillman jury, and they will Sod out some day. Where another Gonzales is to come from we do not know. When the interests of the poor people are m eu aced by the candidacy of a corrupt man, the average editor will quietly remark to himself: "Why, let 'em have him and be hanged ! lean take care ot myself, A When Jim Tillman shot his man, it was natural that B. R. Tillman should help him with ins money, his presence ?sid friendship. But B. R. Tillman went further. He permu? ted his own name to be brought into the trial. It is impossible that Croft and Nelson would have dared to lug in B. R. Tillman's name without his consent and approval. Jim Tillman would not ha ve .da red it. Last sum? mer we printod au editorial that the twoTlllmans were not together in politics and that the uncle was not responsible for the nephew. The trial bas changed that. The trial was a political triai. Jim Tillman was pictured as the avenger of B. R. Tillman, for Mr. Nelson shouted: "Gonzales hated the ground that B. B. Tillman walks on." Ben Tillman was pictured as the friend and cham? pion of Jim Tillman. All of this Ben Tillman could have prevented by a word. Baft Tillman has chosen to make his political bed with his nephew. Jim. The verdict "vindi? cated" Jim. In :he same way it "vindicated" Ben. Meanwhile, 13 years ago Ben Tillman started out by denouncing State senators as *. perjurers." According to the ver? dict of the Lexington jury hundreds of honest, upright., high-minded men would have been justified in shoot? ing Ben Tillman. After all, the shooting of Gonzales was an act be? gotten by the doctrines and methods taught in this State by B.R. Tillman sud to B. R. Tillman's credit be it said that he was at least candid enough to stand by his principles in j the trial of Jim. Once we paid: "Don't mix your Tillmans." Now, we say they are blended forever. We know a sober, God-fearing, in? dustrious farmer io this county who has accumulated $10,000 worth of property and a family of children. Moreover, he has a wife. Any day she may be a widow and the chil? dren orphans. The widow will spend $1,000 in trying to bring the man who shoots him, when he isn't looking, to justice, lt will be a good thing for the lawyers. The man will be ac? quitted. Such is life in South Carolina. And such is death.-Laurens Ad? vertiser. Program of Ministers' Conference.

During Saturday the regular busi? ness of the meeting waa attended to. Sunday morning Kev. Porter, the Presbyterian pastor, gave an inter? esting talk, after which Rev. J. S. Inabinet delivered an able sermon to a large, appreciative ^congregation. Three collections were^ taken Sun? day and $40 raised.

AU who had the pleasure of. going to Pinewood and of enjoying the hospitality of these good peuple have many pleasant memories to cherish. How we wish that the next meeting could be' held at Pine? wood! Oswego, S. C. A DELEGATE, HOW HIGH WILL IT GO? Charlotte Cftton Man Expects the Sta? ple to Reach 15 Cents. "I am afraid to say how high I think cotton will go," said a local dealer in the staple in a reply from 4Charlotte Chronicle reporter yes Srday. "Spot cotton is selling at ll nts, and you would naturally sup? pose that the farmers would rush all they had on the marker, but such is not the case. A great many farmers beliewe cotton will go much higher, and I do not believe that those who hold their cotton will be disappoint? ed." "How much higher v*ill it go?" asked the reporter. "Will it read) \2% cents?" -Yes, it will reach 12)? cents, but it won't stop there. Why, man, if I were a farmer and had cotton, I would hold it until next spring with th** expectation of selling it for 15 or 18 cents. The cotton market will give some wild exhibitions within the next few months, and no man is prepared to say what the staple will sell at next buring. "The trouble with cotton ie," con? tinued the gentleman, "that the de? mand is increasing constantly, while the production is not increasing. I am of the opinion that we have reached the limit of production, and if time should prove the correctness of this opinion, it is unnecessary to say that the planters may never lire in the dread of starvation prices from their staple crop." A cotton manufacturer to whom the matter was mentioned ridiculed the idea that cotton would go to any? thing like lo or 18 cents. He said: "What I fear at present is a break in cotton. While it may sound strange for a mill man to deprecate a break in the cotton market, I do not want to see the price go down just now, because I believe it would have a bad effect on the goods mar? ket." WAR OH TKE WEEVIL Genera! Government Called on to Aid Cotton Planters of So uth. Washington, Nov. 21.-An important conference was held at the White House today, looking to the adoption of meas? ures that may prevent the ravages of the cotton boll weevil, which now menaces the cotton industry of the South., The fear is expressed by cotton pknters that, unless radical measures are adopt? ed for the extermination of the> pest, the loss to the cotton growing States will aggregate tens of millions of dol? lars. The matter was brought to the attention of the President today by a delegation of Senators and Representa? tives from every cotton growing State of the South. The members of the delegation united in a recommendation that the President present the subject to Congress, with a suggestion that an appropriation be made to pay the expenses of a commission appointed to work out a plan for the extermination of the boll weevil. President Roose? velt expressed himself as deeply inter? ested in the subject and promised to give the matter his earnest consider? ation. He said he would take up the subject with Secretary Wilson, who re? cently made a trip through the South to investigate the destruction wrought by the cotton pest. Secretary Wilson has said that the only remedy which suggests itself to him is that the planters put in their crops early, thus escaping the ravages of the weevil. Planters of cotton hold, however, that early planting will not meet the emergency. Some plan, they contend, for the absolute extermina? tion of the pest must be devised. It is understood that Secretary Wilse n will make a reccommendation in his an? nual report, which, it is hoped by the cotton growers, will be carried into execution. It is expected thst the President will approve of any practi? cable suggestions that may be made by Secretory Wilson. In any event he will do all in his power, it is said, to second the efforts Of the cotton grow? ers to rid themselves of the evil. PBQBOCTION OF SUGAR. Statistics Show a Great Crop from Cane Growth. Washington, Nov. 21.-The Depart? ment of Agriculture, in its official "crop report" for November, an? nounces that the indications are that the world has entered a new era in the production of cane sngar. The depart? ment quotes estimates placing the total sugar production of the world in the year 1903-04 at 10,425,800 tons of 2,240 pounds each, including 4,342,800 tons of cane sugar and 6,083,000 tons ot beet sngar, and says as to cane sugar : "During the past ?ve years the world's output of this product has in? creased from 3,000,000 to upward of 4,000,OOO tons, quantitatively the great? est increase ever made in any five-year period in the history of this industry. Moreover, for the first time in a half century the ratio of increase in the world's production of cane sugar has exceeded that of beet sugar made from beets, the percentage of increase in the former product for the five years being about double that of the latter. The four years from 1900-01 to 1903-04, in? clusive, were each in its turn record breaking years for the production of oane sugar. The previous high record crop (3,530,000 tons) was that of 1894 95, the crop made just before the out? break of the revolution in the mest im? portant producer-Cuba. "The high record crop in the history of the world's beet sugar production was that of 1901-02. Since that date there has been a decline in production in Europe, amounting in all to about 1,000,000 tons, still shows a consider? able increase over that of five years ago." The report shows that about 70 per cent of the cane sugar of the world is now annually produced on tropical and semi-tropical islands. The prospective output of 1903-04 of the leading .single producers-Cuba and Java-constitute 45 per cent of the world's cane sugar.

From South Africa New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Dur? ban, Natal, South Africa, says : "As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a cure suitable for old and young, I pen you the following : A neighbor of mine had a child just over two months old. It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I suggested '..hat if they would get a bottle of Chamber? lain's Cough Remedy and put some u;>on the dummy teat the baby was sucking it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby." This remedy is for ?ale by China's Drug Store. TERRIBLE GRIME SHOCKS BAMBERG. Prominent Merchant Waylaid and Brutuaiiy Murdered-Mr. W. B. Varn is the Victim. Special to The State. Bamberg, Nov. 20.-This town was shocked and thrown into a state of excitement last night over one of the boldest and most high-handed murders that has ever happened in this State. Mr. M. B. Varn, a prominent mer? chant of this place, left his store on Main street last night about 9 o'clock to go home. He lived in the south? eastern part of town, on Carlisle street, nearly a mile from the business portion of town. He did*not arrive at his asnal hour, so about 9.30 o'clock his wife became alarmed and started out, accompanied by one of her little sons, to see what was the matter. About 100 yards from her house, near? ly in front of the residence of Mr. G. P. Harmon, they stumbled over Mr. Varn's body lying on the sidewalk 'on his face in a pool of blood, with the whole back of his head crushed in, a ghastly sight. His skull was fractur? ed, he was unconscious and never 3poke afterwards.- > 9 The alarm was raised, several neigh? bors hurried to the scene and the man so badly done to death was carried to his home. Physicians were hastily summoned but nothing could be done and he died at 10.15 o'clock. He was hit twice in the back of the head with some heavy blunt instrument, the na? ture of which has not been determin? ed. An axe handle and a piece of iron, a part of a buggy spring, apparently, were iound in the street not" very far from the body, but no blood was on either. Two men evidently, did the killing, as two different tracks were found at the body, as well as on a vacant lot on the street near town where they had sat down in the weeds and watch? ed for their victim to pass. When he came they followed a short distance until a favorable opportunity for strik? ing the fatal blow presented itself. Mr. Varn usually took his money home at night in a little sack. He did this last night, counting it out in the presence of a drummer, a gentleman from town and a negro. This sack was missing from the body. From examination of his cash book today it-is supposed to have con? tained $80 or $100. In a small pocketbook in one of his pockets was found some silver and a $5 bill He also had some bills in an? other pocket, which were not touched, the robbers no doubt thinking he had all the money in the sack. His watch was not gone. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is Pleasant to Take. The fio est quality of granulated loaf sugar is used in the manufacture of Cham? berlain's Cough Remedy, and the roots used in its preparation give it a flavor similar to maple 6ymp, making it quite pleasant to take. Mr. W. L. Roderick, of Pooiesville, Md., in speaking of this rem? edy, says: "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with my children for sev? eral years and can truthfully say it ?3 the best preparation of the kind I know of. The children like to take it and it has no injurious after effect. For sale by China's Drug Store. Hot Stuff at China's Drug Store.

How we Catch a Cold. A cold is sometimes contracted while remaining inactive for a while in an un? comfortable room or a cold draft and by falling to sleep under like conditions. But most colds are caught while sleeping too cold at night. Deep sleep causes sluggish circulation which renders the system sus? ceptible to change of temperature. To prevent colds, sleep under plenty of cover. To cure colds, use Rydale's Elixir, it les? sens the severity and shortens the dura? tion of a cold and prevents pneumonia, bronchitis and consumption.
