"A sud case of accidental poisoning
occurred in Marion County last Saturday,
resulting in the death Of Mrs. Elbert
Stanley, Of lhe Centenary neighborhood.
Mrs. Stanley was on visit to her brother,
Mr.. Robert Nesbitt, Jr., who lives about
four miles North of this place. Saturday
morning when she rose she WAS suffering
from severe headache and began search
ing in tho room for dose of quiniue. 1t
happened that in this room, in small
apartment Of the dressing case, Mr..
Nesbtt was in the habit of keeping his
medicines. In looking through this col
lection for the quinine Mrs. Stanley
espied small bottle containing white
substance which she took to be quinine.
Without looking at the label she poured
it. About half an hour afterwards she
began to feel very strangely and asked
little sister of hers, who was in the room
with her, to get the bottle from which abe
had taken the medicine and see what it
was, saving that she had taken q dose
from it, and it had affected her very pecu-
liarly. Her sister carried her the bottle,
which was plainly labelled, showing that
it contained stry chnine. Antdntes were
applied and DR.. Utley, of Marion, was at
once summoned, but it was then too late
to save her life. She fingered until that
afternoon when she breathed her last.
- The three year old daughter OF Mr..
James M. Hunnrltt, who lives near the
line between Oconee and Pickens Coun-
ties, at the mill of Mrs Rsimann Jones,
on Six Mile Creek, was saved from drown
ing few days ago by his family dog
The little child fell into the water at the
head of the mill pond, where it was about

at the time were two other small chill
dren, aged respectively two and four
years. But Rock, the faithful dog, was
along with them, and he ran to the res
cue. Rock dived into the water and
caught little Birdie by her garments and
kept her above water for some ten min
utes until the other children ran to the
house and raised the a'arm. Mr. John
Elrod, the miller, heard the alarm and
ran to the rescue. AS he got in sight he
saw the child sink and the dog dive after
it for the last time. The dog dived to the
bottom of the pond and brought the child
up 30 that Mr.. Elrod could swim and
catch it by the feet He then pulled for
the bank and saved the child. She seem
ed unconscious for several minutes, but
by skillful treatment she was revived

Whereupon the young man with the gold

Important to all Voters.

It has been thought ell along that there
would be only three moro days upon
which the registration books could be
kept open for the registration Of voters in
this S,ate-the first Mondays respectively
In August, September and October. In
view of the very small number Of voters
registered this would have proven se-
rlous matter. The law has been carefully
examined IN regard to the matter, and
below Is given statement from the AS
sistant Attorney General which shows
that the law allows several more days
than has been supposed, and that In csae
the books are not opened on the daya in
dicated the whole registration might be
invalid.
Here is Assistant Attorney General
Townsend's statement:
"The question 10 asked by one Of the
boards OF registration whether the books
OF registration shall be opened in the
month of October. On November the
general election will be held, and the
registration law requires the books to be
closed so days before the election. The
frat Monday in October will be the nth
day OF the month, and there will not be
30 days between that day and the general
election.
s'The Constitution provides: For the
first registration to be provided for under
this Constitution the books shall be kept
open for at least six consecutive weeks.
and thereafter from time to time at least
one week in esch month up to 80 days
next preceding the frat election to be
held under this Constitution
"Section OF the registration act pro-
vides: The registration books shall be
opened in each county on the frat Mon
day in April, 1896, and kept open for six
consecutive weeks from that time ut the
Court House. They shall be opened also
at the Court House on the FIRST Mondays
in June. July, August and September,
1896. and KEEP: open continuously for one
week In each of said months, and in the
to so days next preceding the election,
and tho same shall he closed before the
general election of 1896.
"'It Is o mandatory provision Of the
Constitution that the books, after they
have at first been kept open six weeks
continuously, shall be opened from time
to time at least one week in each month
until 80 days before the general election.
It provides that in June, July, August
and September they shall be kept open
ore week, commencing on the first Mou-
days, but that In October they shall bo
be kept open until 80 days before the cleo.
LlOu, WltuOuG ISquElu eloLu w 10 oPouoo
on The first M ouday in that month. The
manifest purpose of the Act was to pro.
vide for the very controversy which will
happen in 1896, and to comply with the
mandate of the Constitution to have the
books opensd in the month OF October.
"The boards of registration must open
the registration books ON the 6rst day OF
October, 1896, and keep them open until
80 days before the general election in
1896"

While we recognize that there may be
honest differences Of opinions on all SUBJ
iects of inquiry, and that We should be
tolerant Of those who differ from us, 1t
does not follow that all opinion are en-
titled to equal respect. Each is to be
Judged by itself and on its own merits.
We may, and indeed, should, dispute the
oJinion that we believe to be erroneous,
and that out OF the debate we may reach
the truth, whatever it may be. But this
does not imply intolerance exhibited to-
ward those who hold the wrong opinion,
especially when we know they are con-
scientious and have done some honest
thinking on the subject. We should
rather welcome those who dispute with
us because they honestly disagree with
ms, than the so-ca]led friends who play
uron our vanity by pretending to agree
with all we say.
