What Mr. Charles Pinckney Said sit the Wedgefield Meeting. Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: it is with a keen appreciation, of the fact that I am practically at hom? among you if not technically so. that I feel happy to present myself to you as a candidate for the office of Super? intendent of Education, and solicit support of those who have known me a long time and can judge impartially if I have the qualifications to make a j acceptable and trustworthy officer. I one who will endeavor to cooperae with and work with and advise with the trustees of each district, for thc betterment of said district, establish? ing schools and keeping those estab? lished open, when the trustees who are on the ground and the patrons think best, and giving such advic? only so far os the executive office of Superintendent of Education--permits. In other words, to always ~ keep in touch with, and heartily cooperate with the trustees of each district, and work together as wisely indicated in the acts of the Legislature, and that if elected I purpose to give each trus of each district, a copy of these ~ .j and regulations for their per sual. and propose that both' they and the Superintendent learn them as you would he multiplication table, keep? ing constantly in sympathy, and ac? cord all due respect to the patrons of each school, before making any radical change- for improvement. Respecting th,- rights of the minority as sacredly as those of the majority, and see if we can not bring Sumter county up to the enviable position that Richland county now'occupies in the advancement of her schools, both large'and small, consolidated and not consolidated. For there is no reason why, to my mind that each system may not be the best, for different localities and should so remain. Of course L am for higher education, all sensible men are, and especially the present candidates for the legislature, judg? ing from their remarks at Privateer. Why really they seemed to admit that thert was no candidate for the office of. Superintendent of Educa? tion in the field, and that it all de? volved upon them to promise -large appropriations. Please see that they do not forget this when they get to Columbia. So I will not tire you any more along that line -Than to re? iterate that I am first, last and all the time in hearty favor of more and better and higher education and eda-, national facilities, especially tor the county sch?c?s, for ? -wilt car. '.'.ly ac? knowledge thur, vvith Sara Edmunds rn cnarSe of tho city schooh of our county, I, for one, would be med? dling execpt in an executive capacity, i." elected zo do more than cooperate Now my friends. I think it very un? fortunate fer me that I can not get up before you. as my opponents do. and Wow a loud blast and a long blast of all they did, and all they do, while in the office of Superintendent of Eduction. I wish I could, but I will promise ?;ou that if you bear me ii: mind, that a Democratic principle would be to make a change, and not put back a man who has been there practically two terms and wants to get a third one. Or one, who though more capable than myself you thought best not to give the office to a few years ago, a second time, but get the Atlanta spirit of progress or more to the point the Sumter county spirit and intrust it to a new man. who no one can stamp as having faltered to espouse the cause of edu? cation or lagged behind when asked to assist in starting a school for the benefit of his neighborhood. I will surely thank you for your votes and support to get the office. As Others See Vs. ''I wish to .state that the Sumter baseball team has a fast aggregation, having played the past few days the best series that has been seen this season," writes Mr. W. R. Davis, one of the magnates of the State league. 'Several of the boys are from the S. A. L. league and are all playing fine ball. Among them are Darby O'Brien, who played with Jackson ville until recently and Clarence Brennan, the grey-haired catcher, who made a hit here and is without a doubt the best catcher in the league. Fred Wenig pitched a splendid game for Darlington yesterday. Big George Blackburn is having his troubles, making errors every day. Our Orangeburg team is badly crippled, having now but eleven men. two pitchers playing the outfield. Tom Taylor ts on the pitching staff, but is over weight, being thc result of too much business. Taylor and Brennan \vcr?> with Charleston and Mr. Robert Pender certainly used poor judgment in letting Brennan and O'Brien go. The prtsident stated last evening that the league would go through u? - til the isth of the month and prob? ably until the 4th of September, Th clubs have all proven success ru! financially and good clubs will be s< - cured for next season.-The State. y..:i r;!;1 send to no better place Collegiate Institute, logue. tr boys, and giris than Orangeburg Send for a cata OFF FOK CIUCAMAUGA.

Buffington, who escaped last week from the county jail togeth? er with two other prisoners, was ar? rested in Florence on Saturday and is now resting in a cell under strict guard. The other two men, Mabn and Collins were caught 4-soon airer their escape by Officers Barwick and Owens. Buffington was taken in Florence by Detective Wheeler, of the Atlantic Coast Line. The jail-breaker claimed he had walked all the way to Darling? ton by the railroad track. He had been in jail on a charge of passing as money some "ads" of a Building and Loan Association. He claims he received same in Columbia and passed them unknowingly being drunk at the time. . RESPITE OF MURDERERS. Aiken and Georgetown Criminals Saved From the Gallows. Columbia, Aug. 2.--Gov. Heyward has granted a respite of thirty days to Luke Gray, of Aiken County. This is the colored man who came to Colum? bia and surrendered to Gov. Hayward. He was convicted of killing Mr. Woodward, in Aiken County. Gray acctised Mr. Woodward of making an improper proposal to his wife. Wood? ward denied any such thing, and the prosecution not only say that Wood? ward denied ever having1 made such mention to Gray's wife, but they seek to discredit the woman. Self-defence W8S claimed. Judge Gray, in a letter to Gov. Heyward, thinks the verdict justifiable and proper. A petition was presented from well known citizens in Aiken asking that the sentenced be reduced to life im? prisonment. They seem to think this quite sufficient in view of the facts of the case. Gov. Heyward has granted the re? spite only for the purpose of giving Gray's friends time in which to pri? sent any facts of mitigating circum? stances. From the information now in hand Gov. Heyward thinks it a case of murder, but as Gray seems to be a poor negro, without friends and without money, he wants to ?ive *;ime and the chance for a prese nta?ic? of any mitigating circumstances. ?n the case of William Gibbes, of Georgetown, the board of pardons rec? ommended a commutation to life im? prisonment. The trial Judge joined in the request to commute the sen? tence and the commutation was grant? ed today. Mr. O'Bryan, of the George? town Bar, worked hard to get the life of Gibbes' saved and he will soon be sent to Columbia to begin his ser? vice. -.-^ A Small Fire.

It is generally recognized by phy? sicians hat. many people salier more with catarrh during the summer than in the winter. The hot, dry weather and the change from thc hot days to cool nights seems to have a bad effect upon the disease. Even after the usual methods of treating catarrh have been unsuc? cessful, J. F. W. DeLorme guarantees that he will refund the money if Hyomei fails to cure the disease. This seems so fair -and reasonable that it should induce all catarrh suf? ferers to take the treatment. In many instances Hyomei has cured catarrh when the patient has suffered since childhood. Quite a number of people in Sumter, who for years have been unable to get a good night's sleep on account of the dis? agreeable tickling and droping at the back of the throat, 'have ' btained quick relief from a few treatments of Hyomei and the continued use has made a complete and lasting cure. There is no stomach dosing when one uses Homei. Simply breathe its medicated air through the pocket in? haler that comes in every outfit and all germs will be killed and the mu? cous membrane will be healed The complete outfit costs $1.00 ex? tra bottles. 50c.
