4 ReDIy to Santee Kicker.

FoREsroS, S. c., March 26.-Mr.
Edlor:-In your last weeks issue l
notice an article over the signature OF
| C. J. W. and under the caption OF
"Santee Kicker which is but natu-
ral to presume, means Santee mule.
II prefer real names to nom
de plumes or rseudonyms, and
shall address him and speak Of him
as mule. AS, however, I know OF
no language in which to address a
mule except such as gee, haw, and
whoa, I shall tell him to whoa! un-
til I get him straight about that
election matter.
He halls from Santee, but those
ears have Topped around Foreston
too long to be mistaken. His brays
have been heard around here too
often, and his voice too well known
for years, for him to try to hide his
identity by hailing from Santee.
As to the election at this place, /
will say that the election was duly
advertised, managers appointed, and
held in the open store of one of For
eston's most popular business houses.
Mules always take contrary course
though. He is somewhat excusable
for kicking out Of gear, as he is suf-
fering from the ':election gals" OF last
year and the year before. We We're
afraid that we had lost our "pet
mule, as we had not seen him in public
places or print for nearly two years,
but he had only "strayed" off and now
returns to the place Of his adoption to
cast radiance Of sushine and happi-
ness into these cold, saddened hearts
of ours. The far reaching "farm" ol
the "big acre" put ont such a hatter-
ing prospect for good "wintering' that
he could not resist the temptation to
return, and now his voice is heard fo1
miles around.
Tis the voice of mule, l hear him bray,
Give him prize acre" corn and bundle
Of hay.

Cigarette Papers.

Paper for cigarettes is made from cotton
and linen and from rice straw, and is large
" of foreign manufacture. Cotton paper
is used in the cheapest and most poisonous
grades of cigarettes, ana is so cheap that
the wrappers for thousand cotton paper
cigarettes cost only two cents. Rice paper
is the choicest and most costly. Tobacco
nized paper is made by saturating paper
with an infusion of tobacco and pressing It
in such way as to produce m imitation OF
the veins of the tobacco leaf. Some use has
been made of the fiber Of the stalks OF the
tobacco plant in producing paper tor all
tobacco cigarettes. The lime and other sub 81 b.
stances used in bleaching cotton and other
rags for cigarette papers have very harm
full influence upon the membrane OF the
throat and nose Arsenical preparations are
also used in bleaching cigarette papers and
oil of creosote is produced naturally as q
consequence of combustion. This IS very
injurious to the throat and lungs and IS
said to accelerate the development OF con-
sumption in any one predlSposed to the
disease.

Foreston News.

FoREsroN, March 25.-Base bail is again
on the tapis, Mr.. Editor, and Foreston is
preparing to wipe up the diamond with any
aspiring clubs that feel like crossing bats
with her. The admirers of the game have
been unusually generous in their contrlbu-
tons, and the club will be as we'll equipped
as any in the county.
AS told you once before, I know too lit
tie about farming to advance any opinion as
to the state of the crops in this section.
There seems to be about as much gua1o or
dered this year as always heretofore, but
beyond this know nothing of the agricult:
ural prospects.
Capt. A. n Freeland, Road Master of this
section of the Coast Line, was in town sew
eral days since. No finer piece OF road can
be found in the South than that under the
supervision Of the handsome Captain.
The warm weather has brought to the
'front.' once more, the juvenile Isaak Wal
tons, and woe betide the ''unwary pike" that
yieldeth to their seductive chains in the
form Of the ignoble grub-worm.
There is nothing more to write about Mr.
Editor. News is not to be had, and your
"Santee Kicker" is too contemplate for no

Our Valuable Swamp Lands.

We regard it as great significant fact
that lum ber men from the Northwest should
have come to this vicinity and purchased
forty square miles of swamp land, and are
still calling for more. Lands that were ii
nancially valueless two years ago have been
sold for an average of three dollars per acre,
and are now stiff" in the hands Of holders
at four dollars. The number Of these pro-
spectors is larger than any. evsn the well
informed, know, and every week new arriv-
ais are registered 1t means that the eyes
of the most energetic, wideawakc. and pro-
grcssive people Of this country, the citi-
zens Of the great Northwest, are turned III
this direction, and they are ayaiiing them
selves of the opportunities to which oul
own people seem singnlarly oblivions. OF

judge Hudsen's Views on Lynching.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 20.-The Court Of
General Sessions Of Barnwell county, S. c.,
convened to-day with Judge J: H. Hudson
on the bench. His Honor's charge to the
Grand Jury was full and forcible with re-
gard to the recent lynchins Of eight negro
pisoners. He said: ut is with great re-
gret and pain that 1 must speak to you OF
the enormous, outrageous violation of law
committed in this county since the last tern,
Of this court. Eight men, safely confined
in lall to stand their trials, were taken from
the protection of the law by body Of law
less men and shot to death. Such cold
blooded butchery is without precedent IN
the history Of this country. II the perpe'
traitors of so foul q murder can be discover
ed let it be done and the law be virdicated.
No people can flourish who have organized
mob law. The harm done by such acts is
incalculably severe. When men 60 to jail,
take prisoners away, and put them to death
they inhict frightful blow on their State
and community Such lawlessness should
be deprecated, should be checked, and
hope there is sufficient patriotism and love
of law and order to check such crimes"

The Town Council.

AS the time approaches for the election of
new town council We hear the question
asked, "Who are going to be the members
Of the new council?"
This question is we'll worth considering,
and it behooves the citizens of Manning to
look about them for the proper men to fill
the municipal Offices, and not wait until the
election has been held and the officers in
stalled, before the kicking" exercises are
resorted to. If you do not take enough in
terest in the affairs Of your town to speak
out before the election, then hold your peace
after the election.
It has been suggested on the streets that
public meeting be called for the purpose
of discussing men and objects. It has also
been said that there is no necessity for a
meeting, but let the candidates go into the
election in sort of "helter skelter" way,
and the best men will win. It is for the
citizens to say whether they are Indifferent
or not
The position of Intendant or Warden is
not very desirable one, and very few like
losing the time from their private business
to devote to the publ; interests, yet at the
same time we are confident that there are
some who have the welfare of the town at
heart, and would willingly serve on the
council if they saw disposition on the part
of the people themselves that their services
were wanted. Such men, however, are not
going to allow their names to be used in q
scramble race, nor are they going to say
nominate me-" but if the people who
should be interested in this matter want
them to serve and will indicate it in a prop
er manner we feel satisfied that these men
will not turn deaf ear to the call Of their
! fellow citizens,

Nothing Succeeds Like Success,

Tie cyclone has come and gone;
Bismarck, the great German diplomat,
has resigned the German Chancellor
ship; Sheriff Flack, Of New York, has
been tried and convicted of conspira-
cy; and the New York Hpruid is still
waging war on the officials of New
York city All these great events have
been and are still agitating the minds
Of the people throughout the United
States, yet with all these thrilling
events the Levi Brothers have not al
lowed themselves to lose sight of the
fact that they are the leaders of the
mercantile business in their city. And
they say let come what will they will
continue to look out for the best in
terests of their customers and give
them every opportunity OF making
their purchases with them at the low
est possible prices. They have in the
past proved to the trade that they
were handling the best assorted stock
OF dry goods, clothing, shoes, hats,
ladies' and gents furnishing goods,
family and plantation groceries, that
can be found in any mercantile estab-
lishment in the State, and by con-
tinuance of their we'll established
business principles they propose to
hold on to the immense trade built
up by them.
1t is useless to undertake to deny
the fact that energy, integrity, and
strict business conduct will succeed in
accomplishing success. The Levi
Brothers went to the city of Sumter
right in the face Of the strongest kind
of competition, and by their strict
attention to business and their splen-
did selection of goods have merited
the position of leaders.
They have a large trade with the
people of this county, and we hear
them highly praised by every person
that has business transactions with
them.
is always gratifying to us to in
form our readers of the success that
our young men are having away from
home, and to know that they have
merite6 the confidence of the people
in their adopted home.

her name ''v. Jefferson Davis" Many per-
sons, doubtless, suppose size has added the

V. is the abbrcviation Of reuVe, the
