The PrOhib;tIOnIatS


Now come tho prohibitionists te
the front and make this call to Soutl
Carolinans:
To tho citizens Of South Carolina:
Whereas, the people of tho State
at the last election did with tho con
sent and approval OF both political
factions, vote upon the question OF
prohibition; that the understanding
OF agreement to abide the result OF
that vote was generally accepted by
m ost Of our people and that in said
election prohibition received large
majority OF tho votes cast, thereby
showing that prohibition Of the liquor
traffic plain and simple was the de.
mand of tho people OF South Caro-
inn.
And, whereas the legislators OF
our State chosen ut tho same election
with tho understanding as above set
forth did, Contrary to the demands of
the people, enact Il law which, while
1t prohibited the citizen from selling
liquor made a monopoly of the bust,
ness tor, in and by the State.
Now, therefore, in order to carry
out the wishes of our people as ex-
pressed at the election TWO years aro
and in order to heal the terrible dis
senslon and strife in our State, in or
der that peace and prosperity NAV
spring up under the benign influence
OF prohibition, and in order that our
people may once again become a hap
py and united people, we, the State
Prohibition Executive Committee, d.
hereby request all Democratic voters
OF the State who will sustain prohibi.
ton III the coming election to as-
semblo at their respective county
seats on the first Monday in June
next, and elect delegates double the
number Of Representatives in the
General Assembly from said county
to u State convention to be held in
Columbia Thursday, June 9TH.
Said convention to take into con-
slderation tho best means to remove
the liquor traffic from our State, and
II deemed advisable to nominate a |
tull State ticket to be placed before
the Democracy of the State for cleo.

To Deport Consumptives.

Since the great majority of the medical
fraternity of Massachusetts have recent
ly subscribed to the belief that consump-
ton is a contagious disease, it has been
borne in upon many besides those direct
~ interested in consumptive persons
through family or other ties that the
proposed work OF the new Invalid Aid
society, one Of the latest of Boston's
benevolent institutions, is business as
well as benevolence. A moments refiec-
ton convinces every one that if a disease
whose annual harvest in this country,
and especially in this district, dwarfs all
the other diseases. including even the
epidemics wherever there are such, is
communicable, as now appears, then it
everybody's business, in common self de-
Tense, to promote the migration of con-
sumptives and fund for the deporta-
ton of consumptives too poor to travel
is public hygienic precaution.-Boston

FATAL CARELESsNESS.
Tt Causes a Child's Death and Sends a serv
ant to Prison For Three Months.

Tt Causes a Child's Death and Sends a serv-
ant to Prison For Three Months.
a very sad tragedy came before the
Paris police courts the other day when
Marie Marterez, a domestic servant, was
tried for the homicide, through careless
ness, of Blanche, the infant child of Mrs
Blanche TreviIle, an American actress
known on the stage as Miss Irving.
Last summer Mrs. Treville was living
at 81 Avenue d'Antin. Her daughter,
who was only years old, was being ed
ucated at a convent in the neighborhood
of Paris. When the holidays commenced,
the child came to live with her mother
in Paris. On Aug. % Mrs. TrevilIe had
to go out in the afternoon. She confded
the child to the care Of Marie Marterez,
who promised not to lose sight of her.
She, however, shut the child mp in her
own room, locked her in and took the
key away with her. When Marie Mar
terez returned, she found her room full
Of smoke. The child was lying on the
floor unconscious, with it's clothes burned
to cinders. There had been box of wax
matches IN one of the drawers In the
room The child, to amuse herself, had
begun striking matches and had set fire
TO her frock The poor child's cries were
unheard. There were on the door the
marks made by her delicate little nails
in her desperation and fear.
All that cou1d be done to save the child
was done, but it was too late. The child
died the same right.
In her despair Mrs. Treville accused
the servant Of murder, saying that Marie
Marterez detested the child and had pur-
poseIy shut her up alone with matches,
with which Blanche had always liked TO
play. But the judicial authorities made
INQUIRIES and learned that Marie Marie
rez was as rule very attentive to the
child and took good care OF it. The
charge Of murder was consequently
changed to that of homicide through care
lessness Mrs. Treville herself appeared
in court TO give evidence, and renewed
her accusation that the servant had
wanted 70 bring about the child's death.
II am sure Of it," she said. weeping
"She detested baby"
But the court took different view of
the case and sentenced Marie Marterez
TO three months irnprisonment.-Par
Herald.
