When Has the Like Been Seen ?

We have been so accustomed to our re-
firing executive officers ''fagging politi-
cal trains for passage to other honors''
that the modesty of ex- Governor McSwee-
ney is very restful indeed!.
The prevailing trait Of greatness in this
self-made character need not to be her
aided, it shines with high spiritual light
and though he is 'lost to sight" his ser
vice to the State is ito memory dear"
Mr.. McSweeney in political as we'll as
private life preserved an individuality
that honors did not sway and he stepped
from the executive chair into the retire
ment of his home as the same little Mr..
Nc" whom We knew years ago as editor
of the Hampton Guardian.
This simplicity, in view Of our govern
ment is equivalent to greatness, we at
tach iusignias of honor in the republican
way, to be worn as character, not on the
person fixed to golden belts and ribbons.
1t is the richest jewel embraced by a lau
rel crown!
In conclusion let me say: | have en-
ployed the most delicate brush of praise,
to, at the same time, use one of justice,
vet the uncharitable may see gross strokes
of "fattery," to those / add thought ::
Gull flowers for the living, let those
who prefer gather them for the dead.

The NORWAY AssinatiOn.

NORWAY, June s0-Up to this this
hour there seems to be no material devel-
opment in the murder of John T. Phillips.
They have five negroes under arrest, but
no positive proof on either as to whether
they or any of them had anything to do
with the murder. 1t is generally thought,
and there isgood circumstantial evidence,
that one of the negroes now under arrest
was the man that committed the horrible
act.
This man is Charley Evans, one of the
negroes that the Phillips's had little
trouble with last Saturday afternoon. He
is man of bad character, and very grit
ty one. The other four, as it is thought,
are accessories to the crime, and know all
about it. None of them has made a con-
fession, but assert their innocence.

Murder at Norway.

NORWAY, June 29.-One of the most
horrible murders was committed here to-
night that has ever been known in this
county.
John T. Phillips, white, was sitting
down eating supper with his family when
some unknown party shot through the
window hitting him in the back Of the
head and shooting out his brains. The
shot also hit two Of his children, small
girl about years old and little boy
about II.
Mr. Phillips was highly respected
white man Of this town.
Last Saturday evening he and two of
his sons had some trouble with some ne
groes but nothing of character to pro-
woke such q deed.

What it Costs Richland

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 26.-The trial OF
the Tillman case in Columbia would have
cost the county about $500, but it is esti
mated that the transfer to Lexingto will
run up the bill in the neighborhood oil
5000. 1t has cost the county clready
about $500.
The case will not cost Lexington a
cent, as it ought not to. Richland will
have to pay all witnesses jurors and con.
stables fees-in fact, every item of ex-
pense connected with it. Over a thous,
and dollars will be saved by not taking it
to Saluda.
The figures given are only for one trial
and if the case has to be tried more than
once, as many people anticipate it will be,
the final cost becomes guess work.
A great majority of those who signed
the atfidavits saying that change OF
venue ought to be had, it is said, are not
taxpayers, and they will bear none of the
burden.

Very Remarkable Cure of DiarrhGa.

About six years ago for the first time
in my life had a sudden and severe attack
of diarrhea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of
Morgan, Texas. Il got temporary relief,
but it came back again and again, and for
six long years have suffered more misery
and agony than ] can tell. 1t was worse
than death. My husband spent hundreds
of dollars for physicians prescriptions
and treatment without avail. Finally we
moved to Bosque county, our present home
and one day happened to see an adver-
tisement of Chamberlain's collie, cholera,
and diarrhea remedy with testimonial
of man who had been cured by it. The
case was so similar to my own that l con-
cluded to try the remedy. The result was
wonderful. / could hardly realize that /
was we'll again, or believe it could be SO
after having suffered so, but that bottle OF
medicine, costing few cents, cured me. -

OYerdOing Things.

These terrible floods ont in Kansas
make me think of story my father used
to tell of the carly days in western set
tlement," reminiscenced the Oldest inhab-
liant PA said once in his colony the
crops were sufferin' from long dry spell,
till it looked like the corn and wheat
wouldn't be knee high to a grass-hopper
when the time came for harvestin'. At last
things got so the Methodist preacher, a
lively little chap, got his people together
for protracted prayer meetin' to ask for
rain. They prayed powerful hard, and
aftera few days the rain sure enough
come, but not in the shape they were
hopin' for, but genuine cloudburst, rip
roarin' and ragin' and sweepin' every
thing loose, and most things that were
supposed to be fast, before it. In the
midst of the excitement one old settler
yelled back as he floated down stream on
top of his pig pen:
"Durn them Methodists! / allus did
say they were given to overdoin' things"

Modern Pulpit Methods.

In San Jose (Cal) paper the follow
ing reading" advertisement was recently
noticed, inserted by the pastor of Pres
byterian church at that place:
FOUND ASLEEP.--So you slept in
church yesterday, did you? Well, it was
rather drowsy day, but if you had been
at the Second Presbyterian church you
wouldn't have dozed. Thepastor preached
two earnest, enthusiastic sermons, and
the music was alive and inspiring. Mrs
Hillman Smith sang that old favorite
The Holy City" to the enjoyment of all
and the chorus choir rendered two
anthems. The congregation was nearly
as large as the church itself. An old
timer there looked around and remarked
to bystander: "Well, l declare, ]
thought l knew every one who came to
this church, but the last few weeks
don't seem to know more than half OF
them"

Out On Second.

A warm game of ball was played by
two negro teams on the Spain plantation
six miles in the country this afternoon,
which required doctor to be called in to
repair the damages.
One of the base runners attempted to
steal second base, when member of the
other team filled him with bird shot.
Later one of the players was not pleas
ed with decision of the umpire and shot
him. Both are said to be doing well, and
will live to play other games-Quitman,

We thank Brother McSweeney for his
very kind expressions. However, he is in
error on one point. While the present
editor has been in charge of the paper
for only four years, The Herald was es-
tablished early in 1891, and is therefore
more than twelve years of age.
