Return OF the faVoriteS.

A G Aliens New Orleans Min
strcIs who were here last season and
gave snch general satisfaction that
many who witnessed their perfor-
nance at the time are still sounding
their praise and claim it WAS by far
the best minstrel performance seen
here in years. The company is billed
to appear here October p.
The company is said to include
all the old favorites and has been
augmented considerably in point of
members. Many new features have
been added and the performance Is
said to be fully up to and even bet
ter than the high standard of excel
lence set bv them when mere las
season. The seating arrangements
of the tent have been re-arranged
and every care has been taken for
the comfort and convenience OF the
patrons, so that they can enjoy a
tlrst-class minstrel performance un-
der canvas and at a price of admis-
sion much less than what is usually
charged by minstrel shows i'll the
opera house. Meridian, Miss. Star.

How Editors Get Rich.
.Newspaperdom.

Newspaperdom.
After a good deal of study
and work it has. at last been
figured out why so many coun-
try editors get rich. Here is
the secret of success: A child
is born in the neighborhood, the
attending physician gets $40,
the editor gives the loud -lunged
youngster and the "happy par
ents" a send-of and gets 50. 1t
is christened; the minister gets
SO, and the editor 500. 1t
grows up and marries; the edi-
tor publishes another long wind. .
ed fowery article and tells a
dozen lies about the "beautiful
and accomplished bride, the
minister gets $40 and a piece Of
cake, and the editor gets 5000.
In the course of time it dies,
and the doctor gets from SO to
500, the minister perhaps gets
another $l5, the undertaken
gets from $50 to 800; the
editor pu b i $ h e 5 d notice
of the death and an obituary
two columns long, lodge and So
cietv resolutions, a lot OF poetry
and a free card of thanks, and
gets $4,000. No wonder so many
country editors get rich!

The murder of Mr. Julian Wilson
last Friday night at Cooper post
Office was one Of the most shocking
ly brutal Grimes in the annals Of
Williamsburg county and it is per-
fectly natural that there should be
cry for speedy vengeance upon the
perpetrators of the foul deed. At
the same time We are glad that the
efforts of Solicitor Wilsonand Sher-
iff Graham, backed up by the sup
port of men of cool judgment, were
successful in averting lynching on
Saturday night. Such catastrophe
would have been most unfortunate
in adding another triumph of mob
violence to the already long list
chalked up against Williamsburg
county. If the parties arrested be
proved guilty no power on earth can
save their necks; but if it turns out
that there is not sufficient evidence
to convict them their lynching
would have been terrible blot on
our county. All honor to our brave
and manly solicitor, John Wilson,
who pleaded with the crowd to let
the law take its course, and to our
worthy and fearless sheriff, who
stood like a rock in defense of his
prisoners; and no less credit is due
to the men who stood with them for
law and justice, especially the sons
and other relatives of the murdered
father and klnsmen. The crime
committed is horrible to contemplate,
but it would certainly not help mat
ters to string up the suspected ones
without trial. Give the law a
chance.

The Almighty Dollar.

AS We predicted, the Weekly
Mails fancied advantage from dis
sing the ''money side" of the dis
;ary question question has turned
to be boomerang and We are
.ot surprised at the reluctance with
which our contemporary recurs to
the subject. AS was stated IN our
reply to the Mails first article on
,"The Money Side" we deprecated
going into that phase of the subject,
but, in justice to our side We could
not allow our frieud's reckless esti-
mates, illogical differences and mis-
leading statements to pass unchal-
lenged.
:, The RECORDS two points re-
main uncontroverted, viz:
(D That the voting out of the
dispensary will not necessitate an in
crease of more than one mill in the
present levy.
(a) That the towns of Kingstree,
Lake City and Scranton, sharing
equally with tie country people the
one-half of the dispensary profits
that goes into the county treasury,
amounting to s7,17S.59, get the
other half divided among the three
towns. Of this half of the total
revenue amounting toS7,17S.5s, the
country people do not get a cent.
And in this connection we may ask
out of whose pockets comes the bulk
of the money from which the dispen-
sary profits accrue, the town peoples
or the country peoples? This is a
hard question for our astute contem-
porary, hut since nothing would do
but to drag the "noney side into
the discussion, let us get at the facts.
The assertion that the country peo-
pleeget as much or more of the dis
pensary profits than the towns dc
is too ridiculous to be worth serious
consideration. Our friend admits
that he can see but one side to this
question and that is the weak point
in his argument. An editor who
can see but one side of a question
generally proves hurtful instead Of
helpful to the side he attempts to ad-
yocate.
The Mail tells us that the
$12,237.6o derived from the dis
pensaries can be used and we shal
stll have sand hills and mud holei
in the roads and poor schools for thu
children. That is undoubtedly true

At Columbus Henry H. HUMPHREYS,
son Of the late Capt. William ". Hum
phries, was accidently downed in the
waters Of the Tombigbee River at 1O:8O
O'Clock Sunday. The unfortunate
young man left bis home Sunday
morning, telling his family that he was
going out for q short walk. His home
is NOT very far from the railroad
bridge, and to get across to the other
side of the river he started over the
structure. When the middle pier was
reached he noticed the coming Of 3
3 train and stepped down to the pier
just overhanging the stream. The
only eye witness to the tragedy was the
bridge keeper, who states that.he saw
Mr.. HUMPHREYS remain on the pier
until after the train had about crossed,
and In stepping upon the bridge he
lost bis balance and fell to the stream.
The river for the past few days has
been very high and the current dan
gerously swift. At the point where
the accident occurred the river is con-
sidered to be unusually dangerous.
These circumstances were 3 great
handicap to Mr.. HUMPHREYS. He was
an expert swimmer, and even after
reaching the water and being sucked
down by an eddy be was self-controll-
ed and discarded his coat when he
appeared the second time. He kept
himself up for 3 short while, calling
several times for help, This cry only
reached the ears Of the bridge keeper,
who Yves powerless to assist the unfor-
tunate. In scarcely a minutes time
he sank beneath the waters and AL
trace was lost.

CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
One Weeks Use of HyOmei Did More
Than Six Months Treatment
by Specialists.

In the treatment of deafness which
is often a result of catarrh Hyomei
acts almost Immediately upon the i'm
famed membrane and the hearing
begins to return at once. \ few days
treatment will bring relief, and in
three or four weeks, according to the
severity Of the case, a cure will be
accomplished.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, N. Y,
says: "Hyomei is truly wonderful. |
have used it but short time and see
a great change in my condition. My
hearing is improving rapidly, and l
had no idea l would improve so rap
idly in so short a time. My breath
which was so offensive to myself and
others, has lost it's bad OdOr entirely.
l have spent a great deal of money
with catarrh specialists and can truly
say that six months of their treatment
is not equal to one month of HyOmei. "
Dawson Drug Co. are selling Hy-
omei upon the unusual plan of agree
ing to return the money if the medicine
does not cure.
A complete outfit costs only $l.OO
and consists of an inhaler that can be
carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler will last lifetime and there
is enough Hyomei for several weeks
treatment. Additional bottles of Hy-
omei can be procured for so cents.
Compare this small expense with the
fees charged by specialists and then
remember that if HyOmei does not
cure Dawson Drug Co. will return
your money.

Promising Young Man Succumbs to
Pneumonia Wednesday.


Henry Mcneil, the 20 year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Mcneil of near

Henry was much beloved by all OF
his friends. This young man, stand
ing on the threshold of time, long
life of usefulness and pleasure lay out
before him, but in one week he was
cut off as a flower.
We have reason to believe he was a
GOOD boy, though he had never claim
ed eternal life through SaviOr's
love, he was always ready to some
thing for His cause, and will be miss
ed at Sunday school by his class and
teachers. But the Lord knew best and
called him to join Him in Heaven. Let
us be prepared to meet him in that
happy home above where there IS
nothing known but happiness.
1t was hard to give him up, bul
happy to know that he is gone to thai
happy home above. From his Sun
