briskly sharpening his razor, SO that
it would cut his incipient mustache,
when slip, and the end of one of his
fingers was split to the bone. 1t was
the thumb Of his right hand, and in
consequence he had to wait for it to
heal up before he could set any more
type. He took charge of the job
press, but while running it Saturday
morning, his thoughts went cantei1ng
off to the sweet smiles and loving
looks of that "best girl," and he got
his hand caught in the press, MASKING
it and injnring it considerably. For
tunately no bones were broken, and
he will soon be himself again; and
fortunately for US, his brother, Prof.
j. N. Knight, who is on visit to
bin, is also an experienced typo, and
throwing off his coat, Prof. Knight
took his brothers place in 'sstlckin' 'em
up" The TINES this week is greatly
indebted to Prof Knight for his valu'
able assistance.

It's said that in some sections Of this
county society is considerably depra-
we'd. For instance, some few years ago
white man in Orangeburg county
was living with negro woman, to the
disgust of his neighbors. They quietly
waited on him with the information
that his immediate departure would
bea pleasure to them. He simply cross
ed the river, and Clarendon county
furnishes an undisturbed homefor the
white man and negro woman, who con-
tinue to share their earthly posses
sions. This case was reported to a
member Of the grand jury two years
ago, but no notice was taken of it. It
is said, also, that there are three white
women in the same section who are
moral eyesores to their neighbors. In
fact there are not few cases of moral
leprosy in this county. Something
ought to be done in the matter, but
who will move? They should be re-
ported to the grand jury. Let any and
every decent member Of society report
to the grand jury such cases as may
come under his observation, with
the names of the witnesses to prove
the charge.

The Different Stages at Which They En-.
tered the Game.

The Methodists and Baptists have been
the pioneers for q century and carried their
religion into the wilderness and established
civilization. They drove mules and drove
OK wagons and cleared the land, built log
churches, and when everything was sorter
comfortable the Presbyterans came riding
up in their busgies and rockaways and set
tied among them, and planted ont shade
trees and rose bushes and built church
with steeple, and set up the Shorter Cate
chism and predestiration, and moved
around as though they were the elect. By
and by, when two or three railroads were
built, and the shade trees had all grown up
and the green grass was growing all around
and the streets were macadamized, and an
opera house built, the Episcopolians came
along in apostolic succession, with stately
steps and prayer books and Lent and Mar
di Gras all mixed up together, and they
bobbed up serenely into fine church with
stained glass windows and assumed to be
the saints for whom the world was made in
six days, and all very good.-BM ARP, IN At
lanta Consultation.

Dog days are here. and a morbid
spirit of bilious and delicious bellig-

phere. Trial Justice Benbow says that
nearly everybody wants to 60 to law

the colored people, a good many OF
the bad ones, want to get into the law.
He likens them to a lot of poor shotes
let into q potato patch. They soon get
full of devilry, and there is no telling
what will happen. We have heard 9th
er trial justices talk the same way. We
suppose it's just one of those things
that can't be helped.
Mr.. ". E. Burgess has accepted a
situation as salesman with Mr. A. A.
Solomons, of Sumter, and last Thurs
day, Aug. 1st, he entered upon the
discharge of his duties. Mr.. Burgess
was one of our best young men, and
was always popular salesman, being
a great favorite especially with the
ladies. He was with Mr.. Loyns for
eight years, and was with Mr.. Lew
for one year. Manning does not like
to give up such men. All the town,
however, wishes Mr.. Burgess great
success in his new home, aad they
will certainly call on him when IN

LONDON, July 19.-The end of the Parneu

Will move in the commons for a committee of

they are on the track of remarkable disclosures
as to where money for concocting the "Parnell-

course the government will refuse the inquiry.

HELPING THE NEEDY.
Disgust at the Method of Distribution
I'm Johnstown.

JoHNsTowS, Pa, July 19-The apparently
unequal distribution Of the governors relief
fund by the state commission is the occasion
for much dissatisfaction among the sufferers.
The more the commission explain the more
they are censured. and some Of the
officials are already talking OF a
trip for their health. Charges of favoritism
by the board of inquiry, which is responsible
for the amounts paid. is heard on all Sides
Several citizens who had suffered greatly, to-
day refused to accept the $50 for which their
warrants were filed out and left headquarters
disguised with the proceedings.
Mr.. Graham and Nellie BLY," who came here
TO distribute the Worlds $4,000 undertook a
novel plan by sending out postal cards to a list
of names asking the people to call at a certain
hour when they would distribute the money!
The plan was probably all right and might have
been a quick way OF reaching the deserving,
but the execution was bad The World people
trusted to a certain doctor to give them the
names of needy sufferers. lie did this,
managing to have the larger part of
the list made up Of personal friends
Soon after the distribution began this
was detected. Those who had no cards pressed
forward and the mob became great no pro-
gress in an orderly distribution could be made.
The party worked all the afternoon and until
10 o'clock last night and began early again this
morning. At noon to-day they gave up in des-
pair and the money was indiscriminately
handed out TO those nearest and many poor
women who had cards and had been waiting
for hours went home in sadness.

POSTMASTER PAUL.
He Comes Back at Commissioner Roose-
Welt and Says He Is Right.

CHICAGO, July IA special to the Netcs
from Milwaukee, Wis, says: 1t is no violation
Of confidence TO say that the report of Mr..
Theodore Roosevelt on Postmaster Paul was
received with many manifestations of approval
It was generally conceded to be a sort of pile
driver blow, and not few people thought that
it would take some of the gas and effervescence
out of the Bourbon postmaster. Such is not
the case, however for Mr.. Paul comes up
smiling and says Theodore is another.
1T is the most disreputable and foolish lot OF
misrepresentation and falsehoods have ever
seen put together, and it is done in the most
bungling manner" said he in referring to the
report of the civil service commission. "Mr.
Roosevelt is seeking for notorety." he con-
tinued, land before he gets through he will get
more than he bargained for. The records of
the post Office are open to inspection, and
defy any one to find where l have violated the
law or the rules of the commission in a single
particular. l have a letter from ex-Commis-
sioner Dorman B. Eaton. the father and origi-
nator of the civil service law in this country.
Mr.. Eaton says that am right and sustains me
in every point. The letter of the commits
sioners to the local board, in 1885. was
not as Mr.. Roosevelt asserted, intended only
for particular emergency, but was general in
it's scope. L am preparing to reply to Mr..
Roosevelt's TRADE. He takes the statements of
Shidy against those of johnson, Fahsel and
myself and then proposes to remove us all /
defy him to show an Office in the United States
conducted more strictly in accordance with the
law than the Milwaukee post Office. l defy any
fair minded man to take the records and the
testimony and find anything rejecting upon
the integrity of Mr.. johnson, Mr.. Fahsel or
myself. The truth is that Mr.. Roosevelt is
seeking notoriety. He came to Milwaukee with
his mind made up to convict. To accomplish
his end he is prepared for any sacrifice of the
truth"
