THURSDAY, AUG II, 1904.

The Keowee Courier, published in
Oconee county, takes The RECORD
to task on account of paragraph
that appeared in this column re-
Gently stating that Hoyt Hayes,
the young man who was recently
condemned to death in Oconee for
killing his wife, had escaped from
the county Jail. The writer of the
squib referred to doubtless had in
mind the case of Adams, the Collie
ton murderer, who while confined in
Walterboro Jail pending the sxecu.
ton of the death sentence. succeeded
in making his escape and is still at
large. On behalf of the writer of
the Offending paragraph we beg for
giveness on the part of the esteemed
Courier, Sheriff Moss and all others
who deem themselves in way
wronged. Moreov er, we assure them
that we are not prejudiced against
Haynes, the alleged murderer, but If
he be guilty, as the law says he is,
we are glad to know that he has not
escaped, but is still in the custody
of a conscientious sheriff, who is
striving to do his duty, and whose
duty will be ended on a certain fatal
Friday, save only by the interference
of the Governor, who, we do not be-
ieve, will grant reprieve when the
verdict of the sircuit court has been
affirmed by the States highest tri-
bunsl.

THE DEATH PENALTY.

A little thing sometimes results
in death. Thus mere scratch, in
significant cuts or puny boils have
paid the death penalty. 1t is wise
to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve
ever handy. It's the best Salve on
earth and will prevent fatality,
when Burns, Sores, Ulcers and
Piles threaten. Only 25c, at DR. w

Mr.. Norton's great knowledge Of

" qualify him for such labors ife
Congress. TO his great credit there
is nothing of the "Aap.doodle" in
Mr. Norton. Horace Greely said,
"Flsdoodle is the xtuf on which
fools are fed" Painfully plain,
almost the "AspdoodIe" style of all
things to all men to get votes is not
q characteristic of our neighbor in
public life or out OF it.
Not "wibly wobly" on all sides OF
all questions to get there right or
wrong, but man who scorns can't
ing hypocricy and sham.
This man above described has
been as faithful and true to the
county, state and district as to the
people of the Mullins community.
Any man in the district, however
humble and poor; can approach him
and will receive the same courteous
attention and consideration given
the strongest and richest.
In Washington the citizens of the
sixth district of South Carolina
always found ready friends who
would at midnight, as we'll as by
daylight. chssrfully attend to any
business or interest possible for rich
or poor. Even now appeals come to
him from other counties for aid in
better mail facilities in their COM
munities.
Confidence is a plant of slow
growth, but gradually the real
character of Mr.. Norton as a man
and public servant spreads and
grows upon the sixth district.
With a knowledge of his abilities
and real character we commend him
to the confidence and support of the
voters of the seven counties of the
district as a faithful public servant
citizen worthy Of all we have said
snd mole.-Mullins Enterprise.

There are many who think that the Democratic party
would be better off without him"

farng man will have no trouble grasping this talk The

OBSCURiTY,

There's q song for the who is lucky and bold,
For the man who has Fate his side;
There cheers for the folk that jingling the gold
And drifting along with the tide.
But the man who is striving to get to the land
And facing the hungry waves crest,
We quite overlook for don't understand
The fellow that's doing his best
But he has his rewards when the story is done,
Though we SMILE he plods on his
For his own self-esteem is the prize he has won,
As obscurey he's stood in the fray.
And he knows the affection of home and of friends
And the pleasures of honestearned rest;
There are peace and good WILL the twilight descends
For the fellow that's doin5 his best
