The stubbled crop lid never fail,
In sun or rain, in snow or hail,
And reaping time came on apace
To vex my hand and scar my face
With no Gillettel
And, when / sought the BARRIERS chair,
Four times in FIVE, awaiting there,
/ found ahead a score or SO,
But now I'm always "next," you know
With my Gillette!
Now mines my time, and mine the power
To choose the minute of the hour;
The tedious hair-cut's long delay
Is never known to bar the way
Of my Gillette!
No Sunday "lid" imprisons it,
No "~rules' its use affect a whit,
But ever faithful. ever free,
1t ready is at hand for me-
Is my Gillette!
Thy new-found Independence Day
Hath ushered in sweet Freedoms sway!
Thou hast the chains of bondage burst,
And art Of conquerors the first
Thou great Gillette!

Amalek Brooks and John Brooks,
charged with the murder of John
Clemonds at Graniteville on Aug
ust 18th, was had before Squire
Fairchild last Saturday. Some
ten or twelve witnesses were in
troduced by the State and their
story of the tragedy was much the
same as the evidence before the
coroner's inquest, and which was
printed in these columns at the
time. The defense had subp9naed
twenty-six witnesses for the hear
ing, but not one was put on the
stand, neither were the defendants
introduced. The hearing occupied
most of the day. After listening
to the evidence and the arguments
of the attorneys the court an
nounced that the defendants would
be held for the circuit court with
out bail. Prosecuting Attorney
Damron and Mr.. Edgar represent
ed the State, and D. L. Rivers APP
peared for the defendants. 1t is
said that Mr.. Rivers will attempt
to secure the release of his clients
on bail by asking for a writ of
habeas corpus before the circuit
