Narrow Escape.

About two weeks ago Mr.. A. E.
Davis little boy, Amos, had narrow
escape from couple of highland moe
casins. 1t happened in this way: The
little fellow had q hen setting IN q
potato hack and it was about time for
her to come of the nest. SO he went 10
the hack and found her with certain
number Of chickens, but waiting tcr
the others to hatch he returned next
dav and found the hen sick and one
chicken gone. He reported the matter
to his father, who went out to investl-
gate and found that the hen had been
bitten by snake. The little boy had
thrust his arm in the opening OF the
hack several times already, but had
not discovered the snake. The cook
woman got a hoe and ct away the
hack and there lay large moccasln
with young chicken inside of its
BODY. Mrs. Davis was removing a
corn sack which was put in the nest
and out dropped tie mate of the snake
which was lying in the nest. The
snakes were both killed, but the hen
died. 1t is very strange the little boy
was not bitten; he certainly ran
narrow risk.

The Poor Helpless Little Darkey.

Several days ago we published an
account of the torturing of a negro
child by nearly grown girl in order
to make the little fellow confess to the
murder Of an infant. We are in
formed that this poor, helpless little
negro is without clothing and without
attention. and is still suffering from
his wounds. The nature OF the burn
proves that the girl who burnt him is
lend, brute in human form We
hear that there will be an investigation
ard hope it will avail something. 1t is
stated that this same fendish girl who
did the torturing was caught digging
up body from tie graveyard for the
purpose of taking some jewelry from
the lately buried corpse. We move
for woman's rights and hope 10 get
her on the chain gang.

TOOMUCu LIKE A BAR.
GreenpllLe N01kntdineer.

The Dispensary authorities have
recently decided to allow all dispen-
saries throughout the State to be kept
open for business two houes and a
half longer than heretofore. The dis
pensers are now authorized and re-
quired to open at half past five O'Clock
in the merning and remain open until
seven O'Clock. in the evening. AS a
friend and supporter of the dispensary
law, we wish to enter an emphatic
protest against this order. 1t is q
violation of the purpose Of the law,
which was to lessen the evils of the
Hhiskey traffic. There is an abandon
ment Of the idea that the sale of liquor
was to be restricted within business
hours, and to great extent this is a
return to the BAR oom system. The
early closing feature has commended
itself to many who oppose the law on
other grounds, and the friends of the
dispensary who are genuine friends of
temperance cannot fail to be chagrined
that the State Board of Control has
issued an order so dramatically op-
posed to their wishes.
Can any one find valid excuse for
this order? Ten hours a day gives
ample time for the purchase and sale
Of all the liquor needed in any COM
munity, and an extension of the time
is an open concession to the whiskey
drinkers. inviting them as the bar
rooms did to prolong their indulgence
or begin it earlier in the morning.
The plea that this order is in the in
terest of the werkingmen is bald
fallacy, and will not hold water for a
second. The State cannot afford to
lake the position that arrangements
must ba made to facilitate the con-
sumption of liquor by its citizens.
This order is an undisguised effort to
increase rather than to diminish the
whiskey traffic, and will lose more
friends for the dispensary law than
ANYTHING vet done by the State au-
thoritics, unless there is a prompt re-
vocation of this order. The enemies
of the law have centended that the
State was in the business to make
money, and the Board of Control is
taking the surest means of justifying
this charge.
The temperance element in the State
ought to let the State Board of Control
hear from them. Petitions should be
circulated in every neighborhooi ask
ing and demanding that this order be
rescinded, and that the rules as origi.
nally framed in this resp ect shall be
preserved and maintained. The State
prohibition executive committee might
do good work by sending petitions
to this effect in every uarter, and get
them signed by every one interested
in the diminution of the traffic. 1t is
a matter of vital Importance to ad vo-
cafes of temperance that the dispensary
law shall not encourage the use of
liqur, but that its tendency should be
to restrict its use. Governor Evans
will find that the board has made q
serious mistake, aud as the author of
the dispensary law, which was urged
by him as compromise measure, be
ought to see the force Of the objections
on the part of the temperance people
and steer clear of breakers ahead, for
they will surely come unless this order
is revoked.

the town places of business all have at
