MAN WAS MADE TO HUSTLE.
Democracy us. MugwumpevY.

By reproducing in double-lesded, bordered space
its front page last week article from the Cou.
RIER of November II in which we announced
al.ersble determination to make open fight any
county official for denomination next year who
hereafter throws any part of his official patronage to
q, called, Democratic newspaper whose editor bolt
ed all any part of the county, state national
ticket the editor of the Charlton Recorder evidently
gloats his peridy and seeks approval for
boiling part of the county Democratic ticket at the
last general election We call it "perhdy'' for the
reason that the editor of the scorder lie posing
as g Democrat. He participated in the Democratic
primary election year ago last August and was
thereby in honor bound to support the Democratic
nominees, but he bolted of them, at least, and
voted for Republican.
It remains to be whether the Democratic of.
fcials of Charlton county going to give their
sanction to such perhdy and join hands in the gloat
ing of the Charlton Recorder by continuing to give
Judas portion Of their official pap. 1t is up to you,
gentlemen. What you going to do about it?
You know where the COURIER stands it has
clearly and unequivocaly made known its platform.
If it suits you. climb unless do not wish to
take seat in the Democratic band wagon and prefer
to ride in the mugwump wheel-barrow, even though
it disfgures your Democratic "mug" and gives
you the "wumps."
The COURIER and three other Charlton county
newspapers are reliably Democr attic, and Democratic
officers should bestow their patronage party organs
whose editors the firing line in time of battle
and train not with any OF the enemy, ouS vote the
Democratic ticket straight from president to
1t was believe, that patron saint of Democracy,
Andrew Jackson, who said: Unto the victors belong
the spoils' and the COURIER is emphstcaly of the
opinion that this Jacksonian principle should apply
in it's fullest to the victorious Democracy of
Charlton county.
Exit mugwumpery. Enter true Democracy.
II there any other sim pure Democratic
gems that the Recorder desires to copy from the
COURIER it is at liberty to help itself, and the
literally such gems used in our contemporary the
better might be well for the Recorder to reproduce
the COURIER q whole every week, for the Recorder
would then be Democratic we'll as much newser.

REPRESENTATIVES Came Near Blows.

Washington, March 26.-Through
a misunderstanding Representative
Byrd, of Mississippi, and Representa-
tive Fordney, of Michigan, almost
came to blows on the floor of the
house to-day while the latter was
making a speech on the tariff.
Mr.. Byrd asked Mr.. Fordney If it
were not true that a combination ex-
listed among the retail dealers OF
Michigan, to which MIR. Fordney's
firm, which is operating in that
State, was a party. Mr.. Byrd added
that he knew whereof he spoke when
he charged the existence of such a
combination.
s'The gentleman does not know a
damned thing about it," shouted Mr..
Fordney, irritably. Immediately Mr.
Byrd made his way toward Mr.. Ford
ney, but several Democratic mem
bers stopped him.
MIR. Fordney apologized to the
house for his profanity and said that
if he had offended the gentleman
from Mississippi he most humbly
apologized. He added, however, that
Mr.. Byrd could not say that his firm
was a member of lumber trust.
=. Mr.: Byrd then explained that it
was not his intention to make such
a charge, and the incident was
closed.

Attempt to Kill Policeman.

Greenville, March 24.-Five shots
from a revolver in the hands of a
man who kept himself hidden in the
darkness were fired at Patrolman At
taway early this morning as the Of
ficer was on his way to his home.
But for the presence of mind of the
policeman in dropping to the ground
when the first shot whistled by his
head he would more than likely have
been hit by the other four that
whizzed above his head. While on
the ground the officer emptied his re-
volver in the direction whence the
leaden missiles flew, but so far as is
known he did not strike any one.
Officer Attaway has been on the
force for about a year and is gen.
orally regarded as being man who
strictly enforces all ordinances and
statute laws and for this reason he
is attacked by an element of law
breakers which infest the outskirts
of the city. The officers have been
searching diligently all day for a
clue to the man who attempted the
assassination. Thus far no arrests
have been made.

Murderer Strangles Himself.

New York, March 28.-James
Vango, a young negro, who, after his
arrest in Chicago, confessed that he
had murdered Isadore Devallent,
night clerk in the Eastern hotel here,
for the purpose of robbery, strangled
himself in his cell in the Tombs prls-
on to-day.
Vango used a method to encom-
pass his death which required almost
Spartan courage. He twisted a
handkerchief around his neck and
after tieing it securely, tightened it
with small piece of lead pencil,
which he used as tourniquet, until
it closed his windpipe. He then
threw himself on the cot, placed his
hands under his abdomen, buried his
face in the pillow and waited for
death.
With the same pencil he had pre-
viously written two notes of fare
well, one to his wife and the other
20 Detective James Murphy, who cap
tured him in Chicago.
To his wife he wrote this brief
line:
Dear Wife: Death is but eternal
sleep; why should I stay and suffer?
Forgive me. JIM"
His note to Detective Murphy was
practical admission of the crime of
which he is charged.
Devallent was murdered early in
the morning of March Is. The hotel
till had been 'rifled, Devallent's watch
and money were gone and the safe
had been tampered with. Vango,
who had been a porter in the hotel,
disappeared about the time of the
crime. Detective Murphy found him
in Chicago. Vango confessed that he
planned the murder, but said that
the killing was done by two accom-
plices.

Postmaster Moore in Jail.

Marion, March &c. R. Moore,
the postmaster who absconded from
Pee Dee on account of shortage in
his office of s703.16, was arrested at
Pee Dee this morning by Deputy
Marshal w. A. Wall. Moore came
back to Pee Dee last night under the
impression that since the money had
been made good to the government
he would not be arrested. This,
however, was not the understanding
of the postoffice inspectors and he
was arrested and brought to Marion
this morning. United States Com
missioner w. F. Stackhouse bound
him over for the next term Of the
United States court in Charleston.
The bond was placed at $4,000, but
Moore was unable to give bond and
he is now in jail here.
The entire matter was a great
surprise to everybody here, where
Moore was well known. He was a
man with a family consisting of a
wife and several children, and he
conducted, in addition to the postof-
flee at Pee Dee, a store at the same
place and a farm near Winona, in
Florence county.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure Is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing it's work. The proprietors
have so much faith in it's curative
powers that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

WANTS TO SELL HIS LEG.
Self Confessed Failure Makes Pecu-
liar Offer.

The fame of the Rockefeller insti-
tute, New York, where physicians
transfer to utter strangers the most
essential parts of animal economy,
has reached Highland Park, Ken
lucky, and stirred Kentuckian to
offer to part with one leg to relieve
a sufferer"
The offer is made in letter, which
ays in part:
81 need the money and am willing
to part with one leg to relieve a suf-
ferer if 1 can but find him.
Il have been one continual failure
at all attempts in everything from
childhood up to 28 years of age, and
at last, for the love of child over
whose future I was brooding, a
thought came to me, why not sell
one of my legs to the New York
wealthy for grating.
Il have met about all the failures
that are on two legs, and I won't
have much to avoid on one leg, and l
am anxious to try it, and really look
forward to it, for l can but change
my fortunes as l want to for this
child. I'll gladly part with a leg and
go to my grave happy with a peg
leg"
