Periodically we sec paragraphs Of similar

These facts have called attention to the mat
Ter, and. 50 far us We can learn, we think there
is much unnecessary talk about va@rancy.
In the community OF .Abpcvillc such Il thing
ns va.rancy is almost unknown, although
there are here many people who do not work
every day in Tho week. Except in busy Sct-
sons both white and black may be found dali
" on our streets, but we think there Is scarce

works only half his time he secures money

enough to live in Il manner suited to his de-
S!res and tastes, 1t would be Il gross interior
encc with the rights OF the citizen, white o;
black, if lie were prevented from going TO

ingly little IA rancy in this county, though
there may BE- much of II about kinSslrce.
III saying this, we do not pretend 10 say
that TOO many citizens, both white and col
orcd in our opinion. fail to employ much OF
their time at profitable work, but they are
tho rightiu! judges of the matter in their own

Selling E.iuuor Without Liccusa.

1t seems that the crime of selling liquor
without license engaged much Of the attrn'
ton OF the Court at Chester last week. Near
~ half OF the indictments were for this Of
Tense. Here Is the way the Chester Bulletin
reports one Of them:
The Stat" VS.. Robert McCrorry. Indictment for sel!
in: liquor without 4 license. In this Gus" the defend
ant was charged with giving n quart Of whiskey tC
Frank Barber and in consideration which Barber
picked liz lbs. of cation. Defendant denied this and
claimed that he cave the whisiry to BARRIERS WIFI
who, Mt that time WAS sick. Mcssrs, Mcneil & Hen
~. counsel for the defense, also claimed that picking
cotton for whiskcy did not amount to n sale Of whis-
key, md maintained that to constitute 4 sale of whis-
key money must be pail. Judge Withrrspo"n de-
cid"d That picking cotton for whiskry or giving any
valuable consideration for the same constituted u sale
and held thnt no device OF this kind could h. r"snrtrd
tn To avoid the law. The jury founl the defendant
guilty and the Coart sentenced him to ply Il fine Of
*2oo and in default thereof that he he confined IN The
State ncnitcr;iary TT hard labor for the term vi sin
months.
