Miss Ida McFaddin visited
Manning last week.
Dr.. Hagood Woods, accom-
panied by DR.. Jacobs Of Bethle-
hem, attended gala week in
Charleston.
DR.. Wineman of Manning has
been spending a few days here.
The Turbeville dude had bet
ter take warning and stay away
from here.
The people of this section are
almost up against a panic. Crops
are short, debts are pressing.
banks are turning down checks
and taxes are high. The people
are in a critical condition, but
with economy the present de.
pressed condition may turn out
a blessing, it will teach to re-
member to put aside something
for a rainy day.
The matter of building a new
court house, I think is a bad
time to agitate the question for
to put an addition tax on them
will only make their burden
heavier, but ! believe in ajority
rule and if a majority of the tax
payers want a new court house /
will submit. B.

AN UNLUCKY SHIP.
She Achieved the Grandest Exploit
In Naval History.

She Achieved the Grandest Exploit
In Naval History.
The Bonhomme Richard was an un-
lucky ship. Paul Jones himself on
taking command of her at Lorient,
France, wrote a most doleful letter
about her to one Of his aristocratic
patronesses in Paris. She was "a
wornout old 1ndiaman,' and cher fore
castle is a babel" Fourteen diff
ferent languages are spoken in my
forecastle," said Jones, dismayed at
the appearance Of his motley crew.
Two days out at sea the Bonhomme
Richard was fouled by her consort, the
Alliance, and had her jib boom and
foretopmast carried away. Jones then
put back to Lorient, perfectly con-
vinced Of the unluclliness Of bis ship.
But through that accident he found
ia American seamen who had just
been released from English prisons
by exchange. Among them was Rich
ard Dale, whom Jones at once appoint
ed first lieutenant. These all volun-
teered into the Richard, Jones prompt
" discharging enough of his polyglots
to make way for them. Prior to that
ne had only about forty Americans.
This addition made s54 fighting Yam
kee seamen, and they were the men
who made the Scraps sick a few
weeks later off the east coast Of Eng.
land.
Thus it happened that the grandest
exploit in naval history was achieved
BY an unlucky ship, and she obtained
the means Of achieving it through
distressing accident.

TIMBER PRESERVATION.
The Most Perfect Method Is G1so the
Most Expensive.

The Most Perfect Method Is also the
Most Expensive.
Telephone poles nearly always decay
at or just below the ground line. The
upper portion Of the pole, permanently
in the air, rapidly drying after rain, IS
practically always dry and is rarely
found decayed. The butt Of the pole,
deeply buried in the ground, is IN
permanently damp condition, but o1y-
gen being excluded it is seldom badly
affected. Close to the ground line the
soil retains the moisture and keeps the
wood constantly damp where it Is ex-
posed to the air and to the heat OF the
sun, which is just what its little vese-
table enemies like, but if the albumen
in the wood can be rendered unit Tor
food the wood tissues offer practically
no support to fungi. Timber preserVa-
ton amounts, then, to poisoning the
food supply Of the destructive agencies.
Preservation Of timber is attempted
in three ways-by seasoning, either
natural or artificial; by outward me-
chanical means, such as charrlng in hre
or the applications Of antisepdcs on the
surface Of the stick, and by impreg-
mating the wood with antiseptcs. OF
these the last is by far the most i'm
portant. The most perfect method
which is also the most expensive-is
the injection Of dead oil of coal tar. In
10 the whole fiber of the pole.-Hart-

it to except export cotton rates
from the general provision of
the law for thirty days notice of
a change in rates, on account of
the peculiar condition efecting
the export cotton business of the
Southern ports. At the solici-
tation of the roads of the South,
under the lead of the Southern
Railway, the Commission made
an order permitting the old
practice to continue until Nov
ember l. That order has not
been extended and the Commis-
sion has no present purpose of
extending 1T. It is feared that
the result will be to greatly in
lure the export business of the
Southern ports and to favor
those of the North Atlantic, es-
pecially New York. If this is
the case it will be pointed to as
an illustration of the danger of
conferring on a political commits,
sion at Washington power to
divert commerce from one Sec
ton of the country to another, a
power which some of the advo-
Gates of the Hepburn law con-
tended was not contained in it,
but which seems to be there to
some extent at least.

Chairman Griggs: of the Ma
tional Congressional Committee,
is belching forth lot of lava
about having a Southern man
for the next Democratic presi-
dental nominee. It was this
same Georgian, who, before the
election, was going to give US
an overwhelming Democratic
Congress. His hot air stunts
are becoming as much of a
nuisance as were the loud.
mouthed claims of J. K. Jones,
the chairman of the National
Committee. To make these
slouch-hat statesmen of Georgia
or Arkansas claim the earth be-
fore an election, only takes three
fingers of Monongahela, and from
the oft repeated utterances OF
Chairman Griggs, posing as an
advocate of Southern men for
president, we imagine ne IS
either loaded with the, oh!-be-
joyful, or way down in Georgia
such tommy-rot is needed in his
biz. A Southern Democrat
stands as much show Of elect.
ton TO the presidency as would
a Republican being elected Gov
vernon of Georgia, then what
is the use Of forever harping
upon an impossibility? Griggs
would have John Sharp Will
liams for the Democratic noml
nee, now, if there was the least
chance for a Southern man, it
would be a measly shame to
ignore Benjamin Ryan Tillman,
for he has made piles Of money
from Northern audiences mis-
representing the South.

WELL SPOKEN.

Governor D. G. Hayward has
delivered many speeches since
occupying his high position: but
his recent address before the
immigration conferenceat Nash
Vile put the others in the
shade. He covered the condi.
vions existing in the South, and
unlike the usual orations of
those whose stock in trade is
demogogism, he pointed out the
evils, andsuggested the remedy.
Governor Hayward did himself
and his State proud at this con-
ference. His speech is calcula-
ted to attract the attention Of
those who have the country's
interests at heart, and what he
said with regard to the negro
will have tendency to inspire
confidence in that race, it will
appeal to the common sense,
and cause those OF intelligence
to ponder upon his words. We
heartily agree with the Cover
nor the deportation of the
negro IS impracticable. He is
here to stay, but he must un-
derstand that the solution Of the
race problem lies as much with
negro as it does with the white
man. The negro is no longer a
petted institution, and unless he
gets himself together to join

The Ideal Family Laxative

is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. II should have properties
which insure the same dose, always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that: old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold, which
allows them to mellow. We do not be-
lieve there is a laxative on the market
that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated. The Arant Drug Co.

MONEY NOMINATIONS BAD INVESTMENT

The election of the Democratic
State ticket in New York with
the exception of Hearst the
nominee was a knock-ou for
the convention manipulators
who forced the man on the
Democratic ticket over the pro-
test of a strong minority. This
minority charged that Hearst
bought his nomination, and it
would not stand for it. The re-
suit shows clearly. had the de-
mocracy acted as a harmonious
whole the victory would have
been a glorious triumph, but as
it was, the Socialistic, Anarchis-
tic element, backed by tire Hearst
wealth, purchased control OF she
party machinery, forced the
honest element to turn their
backs upon the party of their
fathers, and vote for the Repub-
lican nominee or leave the place
for governor blank on their
ticket. Judging from the re-
suits in New York there can be
no doubt that had the Democrats
put up a man for governor the
peer of his running mate Mr..
Chanler, or any of the others on
the State ticket New York
would again be in the column of
democratic States. Hearst and
his crew of political marpots
simply sand bagged the demo.
cratic party of the State and
Nation.

ing Charleston's praises. The
city was nicely decorated and
the absence of extortion was a
noticeable feature. In our
opinion the State agricultural
society might do we'll to have
the State fair in Charleston say
every other year. The last
State fair was Il harvest Tor
grafters: people were victim
lied right and left, high prices
and poor returns was the gener-
al order, and the authorities are
held responsible for it. In
Charleston there was room for
everybody and the people in that
city treated their visitors as If
they wanted them to come

When the Legislature meets
there will be a bill introduced to
"iim crow" the street cars IN this

legislation is becoming greater
every year. We see no reason
why there should not be a sepa-

cars as well as the railroads.

Those opposed to the immi-
grafton movement took much
satisfaction from the incident at
Darlington when those twenty
immigrants refused to stay:
claiming that they were victims
Misrepresentation. There was
a misunderstanding with these
people evidently, but while they
refused to stay in Darlington
they have since been placed, and
up to now they seem to be salts
fed. If we are to make a sue
cess of this movement, those be-
ing induced to come here must
be given fair treatment: it will
not do to represent conditions
better than they are, and we are
sure our State Commissioner
would not do so, but it is pos
sible that some of his agents, in
order to make a good showing,
painted things in brighter col.
ors than the immigrants found
upon landing, hence, this dis.
appointment. We think, out OF
such a large number brought
over, so few being dissatisfied
is encouraging, for we believe
that out of the same number
of Americans taken to another
portion of the country there
would be a greater proportion
of discomfort. The immigration
movement has started off well
and it will not be long before
the opposition will be converted.
We yet expect to see the :'Barn-
well People" championing the
cause.

A Good Record.

Out of all the external remedies on
the market we doubt if there is one
that has the record of that world-re-
nowned plaster-Allcock's. It has now
been in use for sixty years, and still
continues to be as popular as ever ID
doing it's great work of relieving our
pains and aches. 1t is the remedy we
all need when suffering from any form
of ache or pain resulting from taking

gists in every part OF the civilized
world.

advocated and voted for the
Hepburn railroad rate law 1T
was with the expectation that
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission would exercise its dis
cretionary powers as to the fling
and posting of rates SO as to
permit the railroads of the South
to equalize export rates through

giving the cotton planter the
benefit of competition between
buyers and carriers.
