LAVAL WILL GET BACK.
Furman's Crack Pitcher Will Probably be Rein,
stated.


A letter was received from Bambergs
yesterday by Laval, Furman's crack pitt
cher, containing an affidavit, setting forth
the fact that he was not q professional
and had not played for money. It viii
be remembered that Laval was ruled out
by the association because he had net
produced such an affidavit. Since then.
he has been making every effort to secure
the necessary document, which finally
arrived yesterday, and now the baseball
team and the students of the Uniyersity
are jubilant over the fact of his possible
reinstatement. There is little or no
doubt that the association will at once
act favorably on the petition which wiz
be accompanied by the Bamberg paper.
With Laval in the box, Furman hAs|
little to fear, for the University has 8

cations are that the State championshiH

BUILDING NEW CHURCH.
B,anchyille Methodsts Will Have a Handsome
Brick Building.

BRAscHv1LLE, March 3O.-Work is
progressing on the new Methodist church
and the contractor says that the brick
work will be finished in months time.
The cornerstone is to be laid with elab-
orate ceremonies on Friday, the 10th OF
April. Bishop W. W. Duncan is to be
the speaker of the day, aud that is sutficl-
ent information that the immense crowd
will be delighted with one of the ablest
and most eloquent addresses in the his
tory of the town. Bishop Duncan IS
very popular in this part OF the state
and the Methodists are quite fortunate In
getting his services.
The First Methodist church in Branch
vile was built about IS years ago. Before
that the people worshipped at sardls'
about a mile out of town, one of the Oldest
churches in the county. That church.
though frame building, was then con-
sidered one of the finest in this part OF
the State, but the congregation having
grown in population and wealth and de-
string larger and more beautiful edlhce
removed the old building and the church
now being built will be one of the hand
soonest in the State.
The main auditorium will have seating
capacity of about 800 with Sunday
school room connected with folding
doors, with additional capacity of 200.
The pastor, Rev. S. A. Nettlcs, says that
he expects to preach in the new church
in July. At present the Methodlsts con-
greeation is using the town hall for SER
vices.

CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS.
MayfeId, Croft, Williams and Patterson Speak in
SaIuda-Their Respective Lines.

SALUDA, April 5.-The congressional
campaign opened here today. The four
speakers were in good trim and repre-
sentative audience greeted them in the
court house. State Senator Forest pre-
sided.
Mr.. S. G. Mayfeld spoke on questions
of state and had perfect attention. He
went over his record Of 10 years in the
State senate, his work as chairman of the
judiciary committee, made special point
on trusts, favored highest prices on farm
products, textile goods and southern
laborer's wages as farmer. He met Mr..
Williams argument that he (Williams)
was the only simon-pure farmer in the
race by stressing the fact that Williams
had been carrying on the biggest business
in the State, the wholesale liquor trade.
Mr.. T. G.. Croft repelled personal attack
as to congressional precedents since 1897
of giving $1,000 to the widow of a deceas-
ed member. He spoke on The tariff, trusts,
the Republican campaign, rural delivery,
etc. He favored appropriations for roads
and threw ''bnuqaets" at Saluda and
thought Edgefeld had been allowed by
Barnwell to have congressman long
enough. Saluda had helped in the over
throw of the carpet baggers in '76. When
Mart Gary sounded the tocsin they took
up the echo. He made out an opposition
case to trusts, expansion and imperialism.
Mr.. L. j. Williams paid chief attention
to his record as chairman of the State
dispensary board and told why he would
not remove the dispensary from sa1uda.
He spoke plainly about ]. NJ. Hair, a
Newberry man, having been imported to
campaign against him by one of the can
didates. He favored reducing the army
and navy and so reduce the pension list
and retired officers who could not fight.
He showed that the rural free delivery
system was a Democratic measure but
Republicans had shown partiality in dis
pensing it.
Mr.. J. O. Patterson had no apologies
to make. He had record he was proud
of and asked pay for it in congress. If
elected he would be business congress
man and not a fowery speech maker.
He would stand in with Republicans and
instead of worrying them would say,
"You fellows steal for your section now
help me steal for my people,

ANOTHER STORY OF THE KILLING.
Some Negroes Voluntarily Testify That Negro
Railroad Hand Killed Lucas.

It is now said that Lucas, the young
white man who was shot and killed Mon
day night of last week in the suburbs of
Denmark, was shot by a negro, and that
his brother-in-law, John Love, is not re.
sponsible for the killing. Love is in Jail
having been brought here Tuesday night
of last week. He does not talk much
about the killing, but says he knows moth
ing about it. It is probable that he was 80
thoroughly intoxicated that he does not
know what happened.
Tuesday morning Of this week Mr..
Herman Brown, of Blackville, talked to
Sheriff Hunter over the phone, and in
formed the sheriff that some negroes had
voluntarily said that negro employed
on the material train had killed Lucas.
Their story is that the train was in the
side.track at Denmark that night and one
of the hands rushed into the car for his
pistol, saying that he had gotten into a
row with some negroes outside. He got
the pistol and ran out and soon after
wards they heard shot. Then the negro
came running back and asked the train
boss for his time and at once skipped out
and has not been seen since. These are
the main facts of the story as best we
gathered them.
Sheriff Hunter instructed Mr.. Brown
to have the negroes summoned as wit
nesses and bound over to court, in order
that they might be here to testify at the
trial of Love, which will no doubt take
place at the coming term of court,

An Address to the Democratic Voters Of the
Second Confessional District.

JAMES o. PATTERSON, of Barnwell
The congress of the United States is the
most august deliberative assemblage in the
world and it is the pride of the States of
the Union to send there as their represen-
tatives and senator's their most gifted
sons, the highest examples OF their best
civilization.
As citizen of Barnwell county, in view
of the shortness of the primary campaign
for the selection of successor to the late
Hon. Geo. W. Croft, and the impossibility
of each candidate making himself person
ally known to the majority of the voters
of the second district at this busy season
of the year, when the farmer engagements
of the agricultural classes will require the
presence at home of so many, and prevent
their attendance at the campaign meet
ings, we beg to submit our testimony
based on long acquaintance and intimacy
with the Hon. James 0. Patterson, OF
Barnwell candidate for that high and
responsible position. He is Barnwell
county born and raised. In the old days
his father was a man of large means, but
the storm of war stripped him of much of
his possessions and it fell to his sons to
make their own ways in the world, and
we'll has James 0. Patterson performed
his part.
On the farm he grew through busy boy.
hood and industrious manhood and
though he has been called to another field
of labor he is in closest touch and sympa-
thy with the agricultural interests, the
true basis of prosperity, OF the Individual,
the State, the Nation.
His popularity at home among the peo.
pie who have known him from boyhood
is shown by the facts of his election twice
as Judge of Probate Court and three
times to the House of Representatives, a
record without equal since the war. His
services there were most valuable and
resulted in his promotion to the most i'm
portant committees, and there he meas
ured up to every responsibility.
His life in its public, private and church
relations, has been spotless and without
reproach.
In his practice of the law he has fol-
lowed the golden rule and while always
loyal to his clients, has been most con-
siderate to those in need OF the charity
of indulgence and assistance. He has
helped many, ne has oppressed none, anu
he has constantly and consistently en-.
deavored to add to the happiness and
prosperity of his home people, and no
man in the second district has scattered
more of sunshine into the lives OF others.
With this knowledge of his pure life,
his devotion to duty, his professional
ability, his good heart, his attractive per-
sonality, we commend him to the voters
Of the second district as worthy of their
confidence, feeling assured thatif elected
to congress he will make representative
of whom the second district will be
proud, and to the best interest of which
he will give his strongest and sincerest
energies.
We Judge the future by the past. His
years are without spot or failure, and so
will his future be-.
Very respectfully,
CITIZENS OF BARNwELL.

The Part He Knew.

The officer of an English ship, and the
boatswain, who represented the crew,
were buying beef on the hoof for the
ships ration. An English paper says that
when they approached the first steer, the
officer turned to the boatswain and asked:
How will that do?"
The boatswain cautiously went up to
the steer, bent down, and ran his thumb
down first one shank and then another.
When he had examined the four shanks,
he said, He'll do all right, sir"
But" cried the officer, you can't tell
the good points of a beast by the shanks"
"Perhaps not. sir; but they are the only
parts we ever gets, sir"

ROBBED THE GRAVE.

A startling incident, is narrated BY John
Oliver, of Philadelphia, as follows: II
was in awful condition. My skin was yel-
low, my eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain
continually in back and sides, no appe-
tite, growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Then I was
advised to use Electric Bitters; to my joy,
the first bottle made decided improve
ment. I continued their use three weeks,
and am now well. I know they robbed
the grave of another victim" No one
should fail to try them. Only SOC, guaran-
teed, at J. B. Blacks; 81. C. Rice
