Henry G. Turnei will give his friends the opportunity to consider him as a gubernatorial candidate. South Georgia seems to be in it sure enough this time. Philip and Taft, who manages the pines, is talking about tariffs laws there as if the war was over sure enough. There are yet Filipi nos in the jungles, however with guns. pushing Kon. Dupont Guerry is his candidacy mighty early; he ma;» run himself out of breath.

If it were a Boer sympathizer, that was carrying the war out of Africa. Who was it pulled Senator Chan dler nose or ear in the committee room at Washington for “sassin'’ him? The ex-senator from New Hampshire is now even with the world, since Fighting Bob Evans has been rebuked for calling him an insect. This seems a rather strange as sertion from a writer of the West minister Review who prophesie that, “what will seem to posterity to have been the most characteris tic feature of the nineteenth centu ry is its curious intellectual coward ice.

It has been made to rise from the ground into the air, maintain a certain height,been pro pelled by its own power and was successfully guided in its flight. This was done in Paris recently and tho it did not do the whole work assigned to it by reason of the balloon attached lettiDg out the gas that buoyed it, the principle has been undoubtedly discovered and we can safely say a flying machine is at hand aud it is only a question of time when the air will be navi gated. M. Santos Dumont a Pari sian genius, is the inventor. The labor of years has been rewarded with success In the burning at the stake of the usual rape fiend at Ways, Gr , Sat urday night last, many negroes is said took part to punish* the wretch for the terrible crime he had perpetrated. Their offense if any was far less than if they had helped to secrete and screen him from punishment. The combined millions of the trusts may yet foster a revolution here that will be baa for all in the end, if the present discontent au gurs anything among the toiling millions. The rich will flee to En gland or some European country when trouble comes which may b foresight for some who have fled there already. It is said that the Rockefellers will, as soon as possible, join the Bradlej-Martin, Astor Allen and other expatriates over In England. They will take their millions along with '-hern. Poor old John Bui 1 , now hard up for money, will sell any amount nf ancient aristocracy and old castles to get funds,and our low bred clod-hoppers newiy rich will buy a rat trap if a lord ever passed in a mile of it. Gov. Candler has paid out $300 re ward for ihe arrest of the lynchers of a negro in Campbell county. If the lynchers of negroes up North were looked after by the governers of northern state as they are in Georgia, perhaps these miserable hypocrits of the pulpit and press up there would have some vague ex cuse for poking their noses into ;h - affairs of southern communities. But some meddlesome yankees will never quit it until the last one of them is dead and delivered The Cuban constitutional conven tion gets along leisurely with its business of making fundamental laws. From the revulsion of senti inent toward the United States it would seem that it would gratify quite a number of the members i' Cuba were annexed to this Republic and that any sort of an old thing will do how for a constitution. A kind of dream seems to have seiz *d the average Cuban who can gei away long enough from the fumes of his fragrant cigarette, that Cuba will eventually fall into the hands of Oom Samuel watching her from across the little arm of the sea at Jvey West. THE BENDERS ONCE MORE The old story of the Benders is be ing rehashed after about 30 years of silence. It was supposed these Kan sas fiends had been killed long ago, but it appears from recent stories they really escaped and setHed in a wilderness of Colorado under as sumed names. Kate Bender the young woman murderess married after her escape from Kansas and tried to poison her husband, who had learned of the hundred mur ders the family had committed it the Kansas death trap. He reveal ed their whereabouts, It is said they will be brought back to the scene of the murders and hanged The whole may turn out to be a sen sation only. CAITIFF, Ig one of Mr. Dinkelsplel’s iives of famous men (John D. Long per haps) he asks the court of inquiry in the Schley case to propound the very pertinent question; “Vere dit Maclay ged dot vort Kay tiff?” Pending the time that will elapse before the question is propounded by the court and the answer receiv ed; and anticipating the fact that Maclay is likely to be quite dumb for sometime with an accumulation of modesty, and will not auswer for himself,we beg to suggest that may- oe the aforesaid Maclay likened himself to a certain giant of “Tan- glewood Tales” who had undertak en to protect a lot of pygmies if they would furnish grub and drink. Unfortunately for this very ro bust giant—Antaeus by name—Her cules came along his beat one day, going for some apples in the garden of Hesperides. Wakened from a nap by his pyg mie9 and cautioned to look out for that big fellow coming down the road, the majestic Maclay Antaeus bellowed; “Caitiff, thou shall go no further ” This horrid language proved to be bluff of the most diaphanous stripe, for Hercules not onlyknock- ed the stuffing out of him,”but pick ed him off his strongest position and held him up to scorn rision until he died. This poor little pink tea heroes a bluffer from billingsgate. Hercules had guessed the secret of despatching this creature by holding hun up;and Bawthone who tells the story so graphically goes on to say, “It may be well for us all o remember thi9, in case we should ever have to fight a battle witfi a eilovv like Antaeus. For these earthborn creatures are only diffi cult to conquer on their own ground but may be easily managed if we can contrive to lift them into a lof tier and purer region.” and de left the without The owner of the yacht,Independ ence, a Bostonian, is a true blue sportsman. He threatens to get rid of this costly vessel by making junk of it if it does cot beat the other cup defenders. He wont own any thing that races if it cannot “go up against the world” in the lead. A LETTER FROM A FORMER CITIZEN OFTHIS COUNT/. THE DIFFERENCE. The feliow that dug into the vaults of the gold smelters in Ca!a- fornia made a big haul of $350,000, but was merely a common robber. He will be punished. He had no “pull” with the big fellows. He had never been in the swim of-ihe up per ten thou-acd, never had “en tertained.” In fact his crime was too insignificant beside that of the wreckers of the Seventh National Bank of New York who robbed those who trusted it of millions. There is something grand in the in famy of deceit and treachery. The mean burglar with course hand, low brow and sturdy jaw beside the others, is a contemptible wretch. He digs under the earth and per spires like any other common wretch of toil and poverty. The other undermines confidence, de stroys trusts in whole communities, smoothly talks and hides his treach ery in deceitful smiles and lives leisurely in splendor on the spoils of his infamy in the very face of those he robs and plunders. These are the dariiugs of society to whom the courts of the country are al most atways apologising for disturb ing their business, and whom public opinion can hardly drive judges of courts to do their duties. The bank wreckers and polite thieyes of mil lions walk and ride in splendor un disturbed, The wretched creature of poverty who burglarised the vaults rests in the gloom of the reeking dungeon. Such is life. Herndon. Correspondence Citizen. August 15 — Mrs. Williams and children, of MaeoD, are visiting her sister Mra. H. P. Jones at this place. Mrs. J.

All Interfsling Communication From Mr Earl V. Haygcod— He Wish a* Resident of This County 29 Ye rs Ago. Barnwell, S. C., August 15ih, 1901. - (Special) - Just 29 years ago i left your beautful city, which was once my home, and I often think of the dear place and its people Yes, I had some kind friends there such as Dr Burdel), Whitehead, Jinks Jones, John Munnerlyn, Judge Pe^ry, Sim Gray, Lawson and many more. But time has wrought quite a change. I have heard through a friend that most of them have crossed over the river, and are “resting under the shade of the trees.” It is sad, but such is life. I will give you a short sketch of my life. While at Waynesboro I planted on the old plantation owned by Capt. James Barrett,of Augusta, Ga. I was in town every day aud most of the nights,as 1 was very fond of the fair sex. We often hadb ails and break-downs as the old Sturges Hotel. They were always well at tended by the beautiful ladies and and the gallant knights. Yes,Way nesboro can proudly boast of her pretty women and her brave men. Just before leaving your city I fell madly in love with one of the belles, Yes, she was one of the prettiest in the town. But the great desire I had to see something of this country, kept me from pres sing my claim. I can truiy say that desire has been gratified to a large pxtent. I soon learned that one could see more in a city like New York in one month than he would see in one of our Southern towns in a life time even if he did live the allotted time—three score and ten. I have made it a rule to push life for ail it is worth and I have cer tainly pushed my cle-ira as far as I could and tried to take in all the pleasure and enjoyment of iife. I have followed the old adage. I al ways tried to keep one days jaunt ahead of the old devil. As long as you can do that you are quite safe Weil I have borne my sweet as well as my bitter, and such is the battle through life; still I have nothing to complain of as my sail through iife has been tempered with quite a smooth sea. \"es I am getting on to the shady side of life, and my hope is when I come to die is to believe such men as Generals Lee, Jackson, Johnsou and Bueragard are at the gates of heaven waiting for the last old reb el to march through. And the bu gle will be sounded and the last roll will be called. Yours very respectfully, Earl V. Haygood. Old Soldier’s Experience. M. M. Austin, a civil war veteran, of Winchester, IncL, writes: “My wife was sick a long time in spite of good doc tor’s treatment, but was wholly cared by Dr. King’s New Life Pills' which worked wonders for her health. ” They always do. Try them. Only ;15o at H. B. McMasteu’s drug store. Tfilfairyilie. Correspondence Citizen.
