HUSTLING BOWMAN.
Mr.. Bennett Pays Capt. Dibble Il
Deserved Tribute.

Editor Times and Democrat:
Accepting an invitation from Hon.
S. Dibble, last week, | visited the new
town of Bowman. and must say was
agreeable surprised to see town
so we'll built in SO short time. Stores
as large and we'll built as in Or
angeburg, st. Matthews, Bamberg or
elsewhere Mr.. Dibble has 1t sur
veyed in such a way that colored peo-
pie occupy only one end Of the town.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Dibble to
make it strictly a white settlement
or colony He will not sell an inch
of farm land to any but whites and
that only in small farms, none over
so acres, and many less. He has a
hundred farms surveyed with good
houses built and necessary out
houses. stables, etc, with good roads.
These farms can be rented or bought
on easy terms. Now to be able to do
all this he has been making quan-
tity of brick as we'll as running a
large Sd" anu IIdliIS Hilli anu iuo
many thousands Of feet of lumber
on hand. The secret Of all this is
his system of ditching from Dne
bay or swamp until it reaches creek
he has several what may be called
canals into which lots of small ditchs
empty. He has a gang of white men
who, I believe, do nothing, but dig
these bitches. They are paid about
$1,000 per year and after they have
finished they are to so to cypress
shingle making, as Mr.. Dibble has
vast number Of Cypress trees. What
ever good work Mr.. Dibble has done
at the Bar or in Congress this is
think his masterpiece, and my ad-
vice to owners of similar property in
other parts Of the State is to go
and see Mr.. Dibble, as | am sure he
will be pleased to show them around.

BLAMES ORANGEBURG
For the Closing of the Dispensaries
in Calhoun County.

The Orangeburg correspondent of
The News and Courier says " ruin
or has gained circulation that the city
of Orangeburg is responsible for the
dispensary tangle In Calhoun. This
was based on a portion of an article
from the ST. Matthew's correspoE-
dent Of The News and Courie, as
follows: There are said to be some
quiet forces at work In the city CT
Orange5burg with view of injuring
this community and attracting trade
to the former city.
" This correspondent has made dill
igent search and inquiry. but is un-
able to locate any sign or trace of
the said quiet forces. except. per-
haps, the prohibition forces, which,
naturally, would like to see Calhoun
and every other county in the State
for that matter dry. Even the pro-
hibition people, SO far as is known,
nave not been active in this matter,
and if they were, their efforts would
not be exerted towards forming any
prejudice against st. Matthews In
favor of Orangeburg

WILL DO GOOD.
The New Ruling Of the Postofficc DC.
pultmcnt All Right.

Editor Aull, Of the Newberry Her.
aid and News writes IS follows 10
his paper from Washington:
Il had very pleasant conference
with the Third Assistant Postmaster
General, Mr.. A. w. Lawshe, and in
addition TO the main question which
desired to see him about he discuss
ed some of the new rulings which had
been made by the postoffice depart
ment, very pleasantly and intelligent
ly. He is himself an old newspaper
man and was engaged in newspaper
work until he began his service for
the public.
The regulation in regard to the
payment of subscriptions, am sat-
isfied, will result in benefit both to
the subscriber and to the publisher
and will eliminate from the mails at
second class an immense amount of
matter which 81 not legitimately en-
titled to come in as newspapers or
periodicals in contemplation of the
law
1T is not the purpose of the de-
partment, am sure, to injure any
Legitimate newspaper but on the con-
trary to benefit such. The postal
laws so far as they relate to the
second class need revision, and Mr..
Lawshe in his report has called at
tention of congress to these matters
and congress should take some ac-
ton.

TRYING TO SAVE FRANKLIN
But Sooner of Later He Will Pay the
Penalty.

Efforts are being made to stave
off the hanging Of Pink FRANKLIN, the
murderer Of Constable Valentine,
but it will not save his neck, as soon
er or later he will pay the penalty
of his crime on the galloWs. The
Newberry observer says:
Jacob Moorer, colored lawyer
OF vrangeburg, was in Newberry on
Friday and appeared before Chief
Justice Pope asking for an order to
stay the remittitur in the case of
Pink Franklin, colored, who has been
convicted of murder and sentenced
to be hanged. The case went to the
supreme court and the lower court
was sustained. The motion Of the
colored lawyer was to stay the re-
mittitur until he could have chance
to present some other motion in the
case. The chief justice granted his
motion and gave him further time
for a hearing"
This is the way murderers escape
their just punishment, but We do not
believe that Franklin will escape. He
murdered an officer Of the law who
went to his home to serve a war
rant and he should be hung, and We
feel sure that he will be as soon as
all the gauntlets of the courts are
run. When the above hearing is over
there will be another hearing or
some other nonsensiCal ground, bu,
the end will be reached, and theI
hemp will be introduced and the
tragedy will be closed.

BOWMAN NOTES.
What Is Being Done In and Around
That Town.

Bowman, March 25. Special: The
rain of Monday evening and Tuesday
morning was almost unprecedented
in this section, the precipitation
amounting to nearly 400 inches.
Streams are running over bridges in
some places making it dangerous to
travel and farm work is practically
suspended and will continue so for
several days or longer in some in
stances. The rain commenced with
a thunder shower Monday night and
continued though Stacking up at
times, until after two P. M.
Tuesday, laundering at intervals
during the entire time.
Very little corn has yet been plant
ed around here, a number of farmers
waiting for dark night to plant, while
others prefer to plant later in the
month. The bulk of the crop under
existing circumstances cannot be
planted till first of April as many
fields will not dry out sufficiently 20
do so.
1t is really strange that this
important crop continues to he neg
lected by many farmers in This as
we'll as other sections Of the c"untry.
This is evidenced by the fact of mer-
chants handling the grain in such
large quantities. Quite large
amount of corn and hay mas leen al
ready sold here this season some of
which is used by farmers who should
make it themselves
Tie fer,;'l!er h; Sinels continues

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
An Old Unoccupied House Burned on
Tuesday Morning.

Another early morning fire occurl-
ed in Orangeburg on Tuesday MORN
ing at three o'clock house belong
ing to Mr.. j. D. Bolen, on Meeting
street, and known as the "old W:les
house." was found to he on fire.
The blaze evidently started from the
inside. as it had been raining all
night and continued without cessa-
tion until the middle of the next day.
The building was a very old one and
burnt rapidly.
So far as is known the house was
unoccupied at the time of the ti'e.
Mr.. Bolen's family having moved cat
of it the day before into a new resi-
dence on a lot adjoining that On
which the house is located. The
loss is fully covered by insurance.
Mr.. Bolen has been peculiarly un-
fortunate recently, another residence,
in which he was living at the time,
having been destroyed by fire several
months ago. Fortunately he was
protected by insurance In both cases.
The fire department responded
promptly to the fire on Tuesday
morning, but the fire had made such
progress that it was impossible to
save the building. The origin of the
fire is not known, but it has the ap-
pearance of having been set. and it
would be we'll for the authorities to
investigate the matter thoroughly.
Fires are getting entirely too fire.

ELECTION CONTESTS.
The Usual Negroes Are Working for
the Usual Fees.

In speaking of the South Carolina
contested cases before Congress the
Washington correspondent of The
State says "the usual negroes are
contesting the seats Of Lever. Legare
and Patterson. They are all here
with their attorneys. W. A. Holman,
D. L. Baker and NJ Rutledge Rivers
are here for Legare, B. H. Moss and
c. M. Efird for Lever, and D. S.
Henderson for Patterson. Prioleau
has appeared upon the scene and is
ready to take his seat on the floor
of the house. The election commit
tee is settling itself to enjoy the ar
gument of Lawyer Moorer Of Orange
burg, who represents the contestants
for Lever and Patterson's seat. Moor
er is the negro who last time said he
stood so high in the legal profession
in Orangeburg that he could borrow
money from Mr.. B. Hart Moss.
1t is time that this farce was called
off. None of these negroes expect
to get any seat in Congress. II they
did, not one of them would know
what to do with it. Uantzler is about
as much fit to represent this dis
trict in Congress as one Of those hid
eous baboon" Capers seems to
know so much about. Then there is
Prioleau, Caper's "hideous balloon.
He is either lodging the penitentiary
or running for Congress nearly all
the time. He would make lovely
member. The principal thing these
fellows are after is the attorneys fees
allowed by Congress. When they get
it they are the happiest set Of dar-
kies in South Carolina as long as the
money lasts.

Made night Of noon.
One loved each tree and flower and sing

No musi,, in the soul Of one was stirred
By leaf or rain.
One saw the good in every fellow man

And hopeless died.
