arguing an appeal case in favor OF
the Newberry bank-wrecker, Car
Iisle, who was convicted of violating
she Federal banking laws and SEN
fenced to. five years imprisonment
in the Atlanta Federal prison. With
any other man as Governor it might
be deemed of ques:: ::ionable proprlety
to leave his office and represent a
client before the courts, but such an
act on the part of our Chief Execu-
tive is quite in keeping with his
general conduct. What a pity Car
Isle was not sentenced to the State
penitentiary, so that His Excellency
could fill in a pardon form, thus
saving himself the time and trouble
of pleading the case in court.

The Seed Cotton License.

A petition to our Legislative del
egation is being circulated, we un'
derstand, looking to the raising III
the license for buying seed cotton
to a prohibitory point.
Without entering into lhe merits
of the petition, it is our impression
that, as the law now stands, 1t Is
wholly within the discretion OF the
board of County Commissioners to
fix the license high or low, as in
their Judgment subserves the inter
tests of the majority of the people
It would seem, therefore, that the
petitions pro and con should be
addressed to the County Commits
sioners instead of to the General
Assembly. We have no doubt that
gthe former would as cheerfully re-
sspond to the wishes of the prepon-
derant petition as would the Gen
.eral Assembly, and the mOd"S ope
randi would be far more simple
and direct.

ins, died on the 14th instant after
an illness of only few hours. The
cause is said to have been ptomaine
poisoning from eating pork. She
was the only girl in the entire family
which but made her taking away
do ubly sad.
On Friday, the 18th instant, Mr.
Joseph Townsend Woods, Confed-
crate veteran and noble citizen,
answered the roll called in the camp
across the river" The end came
after an illness of several days, the
last few of which were passed in un-
consciousness. 1t was the gradual
crumbling to pieces of a noble
structure that had been undermined
by the want and the wounds of war
and the struggles of after years in
the effort to earn a support for self
and faithful wife. His every need
in the closing days was supplied
by friends, of whom no one here had
truer; and his friends, both white
and black, watched over him with
tenderest solicitude. Saturday, at
midday, all that is mortal of the old
warrior was laid to rest in the Ask
ins cemetery, with Masonic honors.
Mr. Woods was born in Darlington
county very nearly seventy years
ago. He was in Capt. John Floyd's
company of artillery in the Confed-
crate war and went through that
great struggle with honor to himself
and his country. He was in some of
the fercest fighting of the war. In
the blow up at Petersburg he was
badly wounded. his hip being crush
ed by a mass of falling earth. From
these wounds he never recovered,
and they undoubtedly shortened his
life. His name is not found in that
book supposed to contain the biogra-
phies of "men of mark" he did not
have the price necessary to get into
that miserable volume; but, accord
ing to the estimate which measures
true nobility, Mr. Woods was one of
the finest heroes with whom we
have met. With no property and
no family except his wife, this man,
too proud to fawn upon those who
held the purse strings. too manly to
cringe before the hypocrites who
pray standing in the streets, yet too
crippled to earn a decent support
for the two, worked when he could
scarcely raise his body, and joked
when the larder was as bare as a
wind-swept side walk. To his
friends, he was at all times a true
friend, brave, constant and absolute
ly fearless. Privation did not daunt
his manliness and his character was
not affected by his surroundings.
Last May he was with the living
veterans at Little Rock; now he is
with that vast army of comrades
who have crossed over the. river and
are resting under the shade of the
trees" May his rest be sweet, and
the awakening glad in the joys to
which he was stranger in the land
he served so well.
Monday night the store of Mr. S
NJ Askins was entered and robbed.
The thief unfastened window
sometime during the day, and at
night pulled the bar out and walked
in. The shoes and clothing were
tumbled about and no doubt some
carried away, but exactly what, has
not been determined.
Robbery is getting so common
here that it attracts out little atten-
ton. Every few nights some store
is broken into and plundered.

Mrs A H Williams and her two
youngest children, Leone and Ran

ing relatives.
For the first time in several years
there is not a dwelling house in
town in the course of construction.
We do not know how long the lull
will continue, but just now there is
an absolute cessation in building.
We have on exhibition in our Office
a bunch of sweet potato slips, y
There are exactly twenty-five slips
in the one bunch. They were grown
by Mr. J F Burch and are of the
variety of potatoes known as the
"vineless yam," which is regarded
by many as the best potato grown.
Mr. T C Covington went to Column
bia Friday and returned Sunday
night.
MIR and Mrs H Nachman and Miss
Mollie Nachman spent Sunday in
Kingstree with Mr. and Mrs S
Marcus.
Mr. Marshall of Charleston and
Miss Lizzie Shaw were married on
Thursday night of last week at the
residence of the brides brother-in-
law, Mr. D M Epps. The ceremony
was performed by Rev C C Derrick.
1t was a private marriage, only
members of the immediate family
being present. The couple went to
Charleston, where they will make
their home.
Mrs Carrie Fillmore, the young
wife of Mr. Charles w Fillmore,
died Saturday night, two hours after
the birth of her baby. She was
Miss Carrie Brown, of Clarendon
county, and 6. niece of Rev K E
Smith, from whose home she went
forth bride less than one year ago.
On Monday morning the body was
carried back to the old home and
laid to rest. The little one is well
and being tenderly cared for by
relatives. 1t were hardly necessary
to say that everybody feels deeply
for the husband left so lonely.
The writer will not postpone giv-
ing thanks until Thanksgiving day.
He went at this business last week
as soon as the good things began
coming his way, and he has not yet
ceased to be very, very grateful.
First there was a bag of fine sweet
potatoes from that champion farmer,
Mr. T Lide Carter. To say that they
were excellent is only the simple
truth. Then Mr. Thad S Lee sent
us Jug of homemade sorghum.
According to our liking, this sor-
ghum is better table syrup than
the syrup made from the best rib
bon cane. thas tang,a piquancy,
that is not to be found in the light
syrups. Next, was a sack of vlne-
less yams from Mr. j E Burch. The
potatoes averaged about % pounds
each and the largest weighed a
pounds. Each one was as smooth
and symmetrical as potatoes are ever
seen, and each was as nearly perfect
as could be found. And last, but
not least, our colored friend Mingo
Barr made us smile until the fever
blisters cracked when he presented
US with fine turkey gobbler for
our Thanksgiving dinner. That
gobbler now rests behind lock and
key, for he keeps his whereabouts
so we'll advertised that we would lie
awake nights were he exposed. For
all these good things we feel indeed
grateful and appreciate these kind
nesses more than we can put into
words.

During the summer vacation they

AS 1t Is during this period of the year
that most of the championships are
held, many college men are recruited
