THE CONSTABLES CAPTURE
A STILL.
Doing Business on a Farm of
Senator Tillman.

A Especial from Greenwood t.
The State uLder date of Decem-
ber II says:
a force of constables headed
by Chief Curetou and assisted
by Officer Henry Finn, made
successful raid Thursday on
blockade distillery in the lower
edge of this county. This is the
same still which was found some
time ago. 1t has been known
that the same parties had their
plant" fixed up and were run
ming again and the consta bles
we're determined this time to find
the still itself and destroy it and
also to catch the guilty persons
if possible.
The party left here about 9
O'Clock Thursday morning ard re
turned about 6 o'clock in the
evening. They fonud the still in
full operation on what is known
as the "Piney Woodsn place, a
plantation owned by Senator
rillman. They surprised the
operator, but were not quick
euougn to catch him. He ran off
leaving his uneaten dinner in a
bucket and pair of trousers
which he evidently was not using.
The cOnstables are confident that
the same persons were operating
1T who operated the one raided
some months ago. Officer Finn
and Constab eDavenport followed
4 path that led away from the still
and it carried them right by the
place where the old location had
been destroyed up to the house of
old Mr.. Butler, whose son, Luther
Butler, was one of the men cap
tured in the former raid. The
slop from the still was carried to
TINS place and fed to hogs. In
addition to finding the still the
constables captured four gallons
OF whiskey, 16 barrels and two
hogsheads of beer. The beer was
poured out, the furnace, barrels
and shed destroyed completely.
rhe still was brought here and
will be shipped to Columbia.
One of the party said that there
was much rejoicing in some
places as the still was being
brought to town. One negro wo-
man shouted for joy and said:
"Glory, dat means bread for me
and the chillun."

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT rIEDICINR.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use Of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best OF Health"

The greatest Of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward f. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., after years
Of long practice and close scientific study, gave
TO suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure
Thousands Of the strongest testimonials from
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DIR. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, OF
OConnor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
OF disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
MIR. Brown says:-
"I acknowledge ith thankfuness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. I was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
"I was getting worse, and was told I was
incurable. | was indeed in a critical condi.
tion. l could not 60 from the house alone,
as l was liable to sudden collapse. l tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. l could not sleep; anything that
ate increased my agones; was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and despondent: was
obliged TO walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, am now in the best OF
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God l am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound"

They will gatherslto hear the gentleman
from New York with All the greater pleas
ure because of hfg high standing as a Judge
in the leading state of the Union. And
then when they fconsider that in addition
to this he is thought by many to be the
hope of the democracy for 1904 they are
likely to show him attentions of an exceed
ingly cordial character.
If we may accept the accounts given of
Judge Parker he will profit by opportuni-
ties to meet the leaders Of his party. A
man of fine presence, of dignity, of excel
lent powers of conversation, he makes
friends without an effort and impresses
everybody favorably. And of course he will
be at his best on occasions designed by his
hosts for his advancement in life as well
as his personal pleasure. He Is aware of
the speculation that Is playing about his
name, and whether he is permitting him
self to be profoundly impressed by 1t or not
he must certainly feel gratified by the very
great compliment 1t conveys. .-.,,se. a.se

Mr.. Teller's Return.

Inc appearance of Mr.. Teller In the SEN
ate as full-fedged democrat will be full of
interest. He ceased to be republican in
1875, and since then has been in state of
petweenity, voting with the democrats 1t is
true, but not accounted member of the
party. Now. however, his status is plain
He has enrolled himself as a member of
that party, and his new commission Will
carry him into the democratic catrcus He
mas crossed the bridge. His republicanism
Is thing of the past. His democracy has
oegun' and presumably will abide with him
to the close of the chapter.
And yet, strangely enough, the issue
which lured Mr.. Teller away from his old
associates to the new has practically been
abandoned by the new. Free silver coinage
at sixteen to one an Independent act by
this government has no advocates Of in
huenee in the democratic party today The
southern men are heartily sick Of the SUBJ
jeet, and are eager to re-establish workable
relations with their brethren of the east.
The eastern men are responding to All. over
lures to that end, and the present prospects
encourage hope of a renewal of the old
time alliance. Next year, therefore, will
ind the senior senator from Colorado SUD-
porting candidate for President who
stands as little for the rehabilitation of
silver as money of redemption as William
mckinley did in 1895 and 1890, and as
Theodore Roosevelt stands today
This point may be further emphasized nv
the fact that Mr. LTeiIer.s commission AS
senator will become operative on the same
day when that of Mr.. German as senator
VIII take effect. And Mr.. German Will be
the democratic leader in the Senate. He
supported MIR. Bryan in both of hts faces
for the presidency, but without subscribing
In the slightest degree to the silver plank
In the party's platform. He was opposed to
that, and his activity in the Senate will be
directed toward steering the party in that
body toward a platform for next year
which shall be as unlike the demands of
the populists and the silver republicans of
the west as can be. And to that end Mr.
German, as his leader, will have claims
upon Mr.. Teller for all the support the lat
ter as senator may be able to render
These singularities in the situation. how
ever, do not obscure the fact that in many
things Mr.. Teller ought to prove of value
TO his newly-found friends. With but two
or three exceptions, the democratic side of
the senate shows no man of his experience
IN public affairs, or of his ability as a de-
batter. He comes under Mr. GIadstone's des-
lgnation of IAN old parliamentary hand"
and ne knows how to use all the tools in
the lawmakers chest

A National Scandal

Scandal more disgusting has seldom be-
fore been caused by the conduct of national
legislation than that which marks the brib-
cry charges now being investigated by the
House committee naval affairs Start
ling at the outset. the case has daily grown
more nauseating, until yesterdays session
produced what 1t is hoped will prove 20 be
the climax of the surprises. The testimony
of Doblin retracting that previously given
by him In confederation of Representative
Lessler not only shocks the public but it
puts the whole case In a deplorable condi-
ton as regards the chances Of learning the
truth. Doblin now stands without credence
and inasmuch as he appears to have been
the medium of communication in the case
whatever may have been the circumstances
of the acknowledged attempt to secure Mr.
Lesslers support of the torpedo-boat prop
osition it may be extremely difficult to es-
tabish the exact facts. Unsavory and I'M
pleasant and unproInising as the case is
in its present condition. 1t demands the
most thorough investigation, and public
opinion requires that all who may be
proved guilty of any crime, whether perjury
or attempted bribery or subornation of per-
jury, be fully punished.

The British-German Alliance.

Particulars of the alliance between Great
Britain and Germany respecting Venezuela
would be most interesting. The English
people are curious the German people are
curious, and over here we are not without
curiosity ourselves on the subject. Shall
the public ever be gratified?
The English people are not only curious
but indignant. They have an idea that
they were overreached by Germany The
terms 1t is understood. were agreed to
during the visit last year of the kaiser to
King Edward, and although some of the
members of the cabinet met the kaiser ana
probably were fully consulted about Pnat-
tiers. the king himself is thought to have
been the controlling force which committed
Great Britain TO the arrangement. The re-
suit has been to call attention to the fact
that the kings powers are limited, and that
in this instance he would appear to have
exceeded them. The British government
has been plunged into action calling for
the use of force and the expenditure of
money, with very serious complications pos
sible. and yet the authority for it all seems
to have been merely a confab between
King Edward and the German emperor.
The British people, very naturally there
fore. would like to know everything that
passed between the Two SUNertiStS d. lilae
important meeting.
The German people would be glad of en-
lightenment on the same point, but as they
are accustomed to sovereign who is SO
often and about SO many things a law unto
himself their demand for information is
less urgent than tina. of the British. Still
they are quite as little pleased with the
alliance is the British, are quite as anxious
- 10
appreciation OF the difficulty of turning
back without loss of prestige show some
mpatience with the management of the
whole business.
And it is but the simple truth to say that
the whole business has been very badly
managed. Although the ships of the two
powers have been patrolling the coast in
the same quarter the Germans alone have
been provoking the criticism. The British
course has been more conservative. The
question arises therefore as to why the
allies at the scene of hostilities have not
acted in concert. Why have the Germans
been unable to involve the British in their
extreme and unnecessary aggressiveness,
or why have the British failed to impose
upon the Germans the less Objectionable
procedure that they themselves have pur-
sued? Why has there not been between
allies, each responsible for the others ac-
TONS agreement concerning a general line
of policy as TO the blockade?

Legal Hangings in Mississippi.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Mississippi quite distinguished itself last
year by greatly increasing the number of
it's legal executions of criminals and pro-
portionately decreasing the number of it's
lynchings. In 1902 twenty-six negroes were
hanged who, because they were negroes,
would have been Iynched a few years ago.
1t is only within the last two years that
the authorities in that state have cared to
take the trouble of trying, convicting and
hanging negroes. Having accomplished so
much in 1902 the authorities evidently pro-
pose to continue the work in 1903. Since
January 1 five negro murderers have been
convicted and sentenced to be hanged. The
evidence of guilt was clear in each case
and there were mitigating circum-
stances. The governor has refused to in
terfere with any of the sentences and all
five will be hanged In various parts of the
state on the same day. February IS. 1t is
said it is the first time In the history of the
state that the supreme court has affirmed
such large number Of death sentences on
one day
