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.

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. Anthony’s Fire, Rose or Erysipe las, Tetter, Salt ltlieum, Scald Head, Ringworm, and internal Ul cerations of the Uterus, Stomach, and Liver. It also cures other com 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 tions of the scrofulous poisons. 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. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.
