PALMETTO SHIELD
OSCAR A. CANTRELL,
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
PALMETTO, 3IARCH 26, 1873,
STECHENS AMD JOHN SON.
When a roan eutera public life, he
is necessarily compelled to leave his
destiny in the hands of others. If he
is up to ull kind of wire-working, he
is more likely to succeed. This being
the case, many of onr most talented
men accept positions inferior to their
rank, to avoid being laid on the shelf.
Men of ordiuary talent by pulling
the wires often work themselves into
positions that naturally be I ng to oth
ers. If voters would always
lay aside political prejudice, -and vote
for those who are most suitable for an
< ffice, our brigh'-st intellect would
always be pul forward.
That cable .Statesman and honest
O' orgian, the Hon. A. U. Stephens
who has spent the greater portion of
h.is life iu serving his native state; who
is contpe ei tto discharge the dtries
of President, at this advanced period
of his life, certainly deserves a higher
position than a seat in the House of
Kepresenta lives
The Hou. Herschcl V. Johnson, who
served two cousec utive terms as Gov
cruor of our glorious old state, in her
palmiest days; wtio iu 1860 was hefroe
the people of the United States, for
the 2nd. big. est position within their
gift, with the great American Orator,
the late Hon. Stephen A. Donglas at
the head of the tickit, surely deserves
u higher office than Judge of the Su
peieor Uuuitot his circuit; a position
which lie filled when comparatively
a young man.
Our people should remember that
A. 11. Stephens and 11. V. Johnson,
lank among the first talent of the state
aur! when the time again urrives, for
electing United States Senators, our
Representatives would be but paying
merited tribute to declining worth, to
place these two distinguished Geor
gians in the Senate of tho United
States.
10 OUR CAMPBELLTON SUB
SCRIBERS.
Our (Jampbellton friends must
not be too bard on us, as we aim to
issue a paper before the year exj ires
t it our subscribers will not be itshttm
t o to own as tbeir county paper. Keep
cool jjentlen en and bear with us patien
it, until we can procure the service of
a sober and reliable prater. Then we
devote more time to the Editorial
abor and give you a more interesting
) aper than we have for some time past
We have had no less than six dJfernt
printers since the Ist issue of our pa
per less than one year ago, but the
love of benzine bus kept them from
rendering that service necessary to
issue the paper regularly on lime. We
intend t have a printer of the right
e'ripe, if such an one can be found.
We thought we were all right last
Saturday as two persons put in at our
office and applied for work, they were
printers belonging to the Typograph
ical union l We agreed to take one on
trial. He set about In If a dozen lines
quit,got a pint corn of juice, became in
toxicated and left.
Sober printers seem to be like “Angels
visits" We are corresponding for a
foreman to take charge of ooi office,
and would suspend until one was se
cured, but we have a great many con
tract advertisements which we would
lose by suspending. We do not pro
fess to pc a printer but from necessity
we are, at present to make
the best showing at it we can. It is
not our attention to learn the trade at
the expense of our patrons, as we are
now as apprentice without a Foreman
to instruct us, and we will not count
the murdered number's if yon desire us
not to do so, however* tißder all the
circumstances if any of you desire
your paper stopped, uotify ns by name
and the same will be strickeu from our
roll of subscribers.
Messrs Thorntou and Holiema.n have
received a large lot of white goo ’ con
aisting of Piques, victoria lawn, swiss
Jaconet, aud muslins, nainsooks. La
dies collars, lace and linen handker
chiefs of every style and quality.
Trimmings of various kinds —Their
entire spring stock is en route from
N. Y. These gentlemen say they will
h-tve the largest stock of choice spring
goods which they have ever opened to
the public- They also have just received
anew supply of corn aud meat tQ sell
on time.
The Editor, of t his paper has lost a
■ nail pass book, L, Passono & Son a
pr.nted on the back. In the side pock
et are some valuable pape.s-Probably
lost it at Fairbuu. The finder will be
liberally rewarded by leaving the same
at this office.
PALMETTO DEBATING SOCIETY.
This society is iu a flout ishii’g con
dition.
We were in attendance Oi last Fri
day night, it being the first opportuni
ty we have had of listening to the el
oqnent and logical speeches of our
young men.
Their speeches were all interesting,
and without flattery, we must com
piimeut the members who were pies
cut for the able manner in which they
discussed the question “Has law a
greater influence over man than pub
lic opinion.”
The question was decided iu favor
of the negative.
We advise all our young men, who
are not already members’ to join this
society at once as they will be benefit
ed thereby. The question for discuss
ion next Friday night is “Were the
people of the South benefited by the
result of the war.”
Leading Disputants’
Aff. Neg.
E. R, Thornton. J. K, Smith
Vice Preside-1 Wilson so seldom
docs anything gracefully, that we weri
somewhat supprised on reading that
he had called General Gordon to the
Uliair of the United States senate yes
terday. However, the presence of our
gallant and able Senator presiding
over the Senate, most really have been
a slight iu dication that our late “un
pleasantness” is over. Still, it must
have made the bloodspilling Chandler
the super-loyal Morton and that ex
quisite patriot, Conkling, shudder to
see an ex-Confederate and ‘red-handed
rebel" actually presiding over them
Death —The Editor of the Sumter Re
publican was at Webster Court last
wet k. Lee Smith, colored, charged with
killing his wife, was found guilty. Win
Shepard burglary st night, guilty
Says the Republican;
At three o’clock Thursday afternoon
tlieSheriff entered the court room with
E F. Spann, Susan Eberhart’Lee Smith
and Wm, Sheppard to hear the sentence
of the law a ..out to be pronounced up
ou them. The room was crowded with
spectators to witness a scene which
perhaps may never occur again, and
the like of which h as never before been
witnessed in this State, the eonte,nccof
death on three persons and confinement
in the peniti ntiary on one, at the stfhte
time. It was indeed a solemn sight
to behold, and one that we never agaiur
expect to witness. Tito prisoners all
appeared to pc deeply affected, especi
ally Spann and Miss Eberhart. As the
prisoners enteied, a silence as still as
death- perv ded the entire room. Shot
ly after they were seated and became
composed, the Judge, in a very solemn
manner called tin* names of E. F. Spann
and Susan Eberhart, and asked if they
had anything to say why sentence of
death should not be pronounced upon
them. Nothing, was answered in a low
t one. The Judge then read the judgment
o f* former Court and the Supreme
Court and pronounced the sentence of
death upon E F. Spann. ”It is ordered
by the Court that the Sheriff of We
ster county, do axecution of said s
tence in the manner and mode therein
prescribed on the pers on of said defend
ant betweeu the hours of ten in the
f irenoon and two in the afternoon on
Friday, the eleventh day April next
and may the Lord have mercy, &c. 1
A like sentence was then pronouneed
upon Miss Eberhart, but upon the so
licitation of prisoner’s council, Col*
W. A. Hawkins, the day of execution
in her case was prolonged until the 2
day of May.
Sentence of death was then p re
nounced upon Lee Smith, to be hung
ou Friday, the 25th day of April.

intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great cor
ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known,
of Scrofula, and all scrofulous diseases,
Ulcers, Eruptions, and eruptive dis
orders of the skin, Tumors, Blotches,
Boils, Pimples, Pustules, Sores, St.

Head, Ringworm, and internal Ul
cerations of the Uterus, Stomach,

plaints, to which it would not seem especi
ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep
sia, Fits, Neuralgia,Heart. Disease.
Female Weakness, Debility, and
Leucorrlioea, when they are manifesta

It is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing the
appetite and vigor of the. digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listless lan
guor of the season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and anew lease of
life.
