Some More Prosperity.

The Charleston cotton mill, which
cost $500, 900, is to be sold. at a

It's pity that the much vaunted
resumption and improvement IN busl-
ness. which was heralded far and
wide as soon as Mckinley's election
had been made certain, should receive
a black eye almost every day by the
failure OF banks, the closing of mills
and factories, and the bankruptcy OF
merchants. These things have hap
pened with wonderful regularity since
the panic of 1898, under the admins
tration OF Mr.. Cleveland and the ma
n;pulation of the bond syndicate, but
the triumph OF the gold standard was
to produce a change at once, and a
made to-order prosperity was to take
possession OF the land. The failures
and Bankruptcies are due 10 the fact

4 Convenient Invention.

An Orangeburg farmer comes to the
front with new invention in the
shape OF a Lubricator for oiling We
hicle wheels without taking them off
the axle. 1t is inserted in the hub
between two Of the spokes. When
you want to grease your wheel all you
have to do is to Withdraw a plunger,
which operates with a spring, and put
as much oil as is needed on the axle.
Upon being released the spring closes
up the oil hole until it is opened for
oiling up again. It is very ingeni-
Gus and clever device. and is bound to
be used generally. With these lubri-
Gators vehicle can be oiled up any
where along the road in less than one
minute. The patent for this valuable
invention is owned by the National
Lubricator Company Of Orangeburg,
S. Q. Mr.. Jas. L. Sims, Editor and
Proprietor of the Orangeburg Times
and Democrat, is the manager of the
company, which is guarantee that it
is all right. The company wants an
agent in this county TO sell the Lubri-
Gators. See advertisement in another
column.

The Keeping of Liquor.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. Sin the
Supreme Court yeterday there came
up a case on appeal, the circumstances
OF which are unknown to the people
generally, and which involves not
only the rights of the citizen, but the
legality of the Dispensary law Itself.
From the facts submitted to tie Su.
preme Court it appears that Anderson
Chastian, white man, was arrested
last July, charged with storing and
keeping liquors contrary to the Dispen-
sary law. The case came up, from
Oconee County. On the face Of the
proceeding appers that Chastain wSs
raided by constables and 10 his place Of
business there was found two ard a,
half gallons of corn liquor which was
seized and confscated. Chastain. was
brought up before the court, Judge
Townsend presiding. for trial. The
defendant argued, through his attor-
neys, that it was no crime for man
to have liquor in his possession in his
own house for personal use, and that
the State must show that he kept it
for the unlawful purpose OF barter or
trade or sale. Judge Townsend, in his
charge to the jury, used the following
language: 'If one keep liquors he
must have the proper stamp on 1t.
The question is, did he have legally
the right to keep the liquor without
the stamps2 II so, he must show that
he bought it through the regular chan
nels, the Dispensary, or that he OBJ
tanned from the commissioner the
proper stamp" The attorneys for
Chastain, Messrs. James and Shelor,
hold that the Judge erred in making
such a charge, because he should have
charged that there was no crime IN
having liquor in ones possession foa-
ones own personal use, and that orc.
had rightto so keep it unless it could
be shown that he kept it for purposes,
of violation of the law, which Goes
not seem to have been proven. mhe
decision of the Supreme Court IL this
case will be awaited with much inter-
est, for upon it depends whether TIE
most law abiding citizen can Keep
liquors for his own use in his OWL
house under the Dispensary law, or
whether every man who does SO is
liable to be hauled up before court.

Spanish AtrocitieS.


years OF age, was murdered a few days
ago in Caraballo, near JarIcco, pro,
vince OF Havana, by the Spanish guer-
rillas commanded by Major Gregorio
Soria. The case Of the unfortunate
Viera is another proof OF the cruel
warfare carried on in Cuba by the
Spanish army. Viera was a man of
wealth in Caraballo and esteemed by
his neighbors for his charity. Among
his properties was rich tarm near
the village, to which Soria went with
MS guerrilla and notified MIN that be-
fore two days he must leave his estate,
which would be burned. Vlera pro-
tested against this measure to the mu-
nicipal authorities OF Caraballo, but
the only answer was his arrest, and
the only judge of his cause the same
Soria was appointed. He was chained
aud guarded in the church, which n
Caraballo as in every other small town
under the Spaniards, is now prison.
He was left there two days without
even water to drink Meanwhile So
ria and his men reduced the buildings
on his farm to ashes and outraged his
family. After this atrocious act the
guerrillas returned to Caraballo, and,
taking Viera out OF the church at II
o'clock at night, they tied MIN up and
after a short verbal sentence pro-
nounced by Socia, he was torn to
pieces by the matchets Of the soldiers.
H:S terrible cries did not save him
from the assassins. The son Of Viera,
as soon as he knew the fate of MS
father, enlisted with Cuban guerrillas.
He wrote a letter to Soria in these
terms: Il will avenge the death OF
my father, be sure. You and all your
counsrymen only know how to kill
old men, women and children, but
not to fight face to face those who can
stand against you. Is this the way IN
which Spain intendsto win the love Of
the Cubans2" The guerrillas OF Soria
killed near Caraballo another old man
of "a years. He was D. Felipe Photo,
also wealthy farmer. He was ar.
rested with his five daughters and was
shot before their eyes as traitor. His
only crime was asking Soria not to
burn his estates.
But these are no! the Only crimes Of
the Spanish troops near Caraballo.
Senior Secundino Rodriguez, a mer-
chant Of large capital, whose business
is worth from $50, 900 to $50, 600 year
and who was also engaged in sugar
raising on the estate Rosario" re-
ceived word from the Spanish Major
Lanrada to abandon all his properties
IN accordance with the last decree OF
Gen. Weyler ordering all the country
people to gather in the towns. He
asked permission to appoint some
guards on his estates to take care OF
them during his absence. Laprada ar
rested him and sentenced him to death
with out trial. Cases like these are Of
daily occurrence since the decree OF
Weyler above referred to. The Span
ish columns burn all the country es-
tates and kill all the paciGcos they
find in their way. AS in the first
months of Weyler's rule in Cuba a
reign of terror IS in full sway again.
