CA whisky and soda would indeed
be grateful and comforting. To tell
you the truth, things aren't going as

During the closing days of the civil
war detachment of Federal cavalry
rode into the picturesque town of
washington, Ga. and within q few
moments after the arrival of the new
comers their command stood at the
front door OF o large, old-fashioned
mansion.
The visitors mission was soon made
known. He desired to soc Gen. Robert
Toombs, and, In fact, WAS 90 anxious
10 him that he waeO willing to nut
himself to no end of trouble to meet
him.
The cavalry captain was informed
that the owner Of the house was not
ht homo, which statement was half
way true, because at that very instant
Gen. Toombs was making his way to
the garden gate, where he had a swift
horse In readiness for him.

In mounting his steed, and before

SUICIDE OF AN EDITOR.
A Popular Young Man Ended His
Life in q Sensational Manne

Mr.. Richard E. Cherry, who was
until recently the associate editor of
The Penny Press, a daily paper in AL
bany, Ga, committed suicide at his
homeI In that city on the Oath inst.
The act was occasioned by despon-
dency over the loss of his position,
and Its accomplishment was marked
by some OF the most sensational fea-
lures that ever characterized self
murder.
Cherry had for long time been cnn-
nected with The Penny Press, Tut

resignation was made distressin sly
despondent and hopeless. The next
day he left town in search OF work, and
nothing more was heard OF him until

TO his mothers home, and as she came
10 the door TO meet him, he put his
srms around her and said Mother,

He produced half-emptied NOR
prime bottle and exhibited it, to her.
The half-crazed mother wrenched it
from his grasp and after having con-
cealed 1t, as she thought, she excitedly
summoned ell the physicians in the
neighbOrhood.
Cherry had seen where she had put
the drug, and as he attempted to get
1t and swallow what remained, his l6-
year:old sister rushed up. She OWNED

man on earth has suffered more than /.
Had / thought my past would be dug
up in connection with these miserable
old papers, would never have made
claim to them. May my secret be
buried with my body" e..
Ten, years ago John Lawrence
Schoolcraft was q vigorous, handsome
young man of 20 years. He was an
enterprising young business man and
q SchoOlcraft, of Richmond, Va. the
firm was q popular one and made
money fast. Sohoolcraft had extern
sive business ventures outside of his
regular business, and all OF them net
ted him big gains. Mrs. Schoolcraft
was beautiful woman and was one of
the most attractive and fascinating
leaders of Richmond society. School
craft idolized his wife, and his whole
life seemed to be given up to her
pleasure and happiness. One day he
awoke to the realization that q young
lawyer named Stein, who had been one
of his most confident and trusted friends
had robbed him Of his wifes affections.
He made no complaint, neither did he
utter word OF censure, but hastily
converted all his property and his bus
mess interests into cash and portable
securities and left his once happy
home to become wanderer the rest of
his life.
Schoolcraft's main purpose was to
squander all his money and scatter it
In a way that his wife could never get
1t. He rushed into big speculations
and often instead of losing, realized
handsome profits. Taxes on his real
estate were purposely left unpaid and
the property was sold and resold until
1t was clouded by mortgages too far to
admit OF any redemption. He went
into big mining schemes and all kinds
OF wild speculatiops, and in almost
every instance would win Finally he
was heard from In Albuquerque, N.
NJ, where he had invested in what he
considered losing venture, but to his
utter disgust he realized from it over
SlO0,OOO. Schoolcraft finally succeed
ed In sQuandering all his money, and
landed In Chicago about two weeks
ago with but few dollars in his pock-
cts and with determination to earn q
pittance wherewith to sustain himself.
When Chief Bac enock took the &C.
curities after they were found and
showed them to Schoolcraft he said
they belonged to him, but they were
worthless. Experts who have examin-
ed them declare they are good, and
not only can their face value be readily
collected, but the accrued interest,
which will amount to some thousands
OK dollars. Schooloraft, although be-
Ing only 30 years OF age, has aged rap.
idly, and the sad expression on his
face portrays blighted life.

Bar rooms will never again be es-

"The greatest trouble we see with

charged for liquors and their unre.

transparent fact that as now managed
any man can buy all the whiskey his

reform is needed, and badly needed,
too. In the first place the State has
no more right to create a monopoly
and profit by that monopoly at the ex-
pense of the people than an individual
has. 1t was not designed to create of
the dispensary q source of revenue, but
simply to permit sober men, who need
intoxicants, or know how to use them
with moderation, to purchase pure
liquors legally, and without resorting
to blind tigers. Many men who voted
for the law would never have done 30
did they believe that the doors of our
dispensaries were to be thrown open

and In this connection, and being
o friend to tho dispensary law, truth
and candor compels us to say that
while for time the use of stimulants
was greatly curtailed. we can see
daily increase in liquor-drinking and
drunkenness. We have two dispensa-
ries in Spartanburg, and at any public
day 1t Ia hard task to enter the doors.

"Too much liquor is being sold by
the dispensaries, and it is too easy to
buy it. The consumption is daily in
creasing, when, IL the dispensary
proves what its friends designed and
promised, the use of intoxicants would
be gradually and steadily diminished.
No county should be allowed more
than one dispensary, and then throw
greater restrictions around the sale.

intoxicants one-half, or even one-third,

A RATE WAR EXPECTED.
The Belief that Hostilities viii B
Resumed is Spreading.


Railroad circles are somewhat agi.
tated over a rapidly spreading belief
that the rate war between the Sea-
board Air Line and the Southern Rail
way 1s to be renewed. The action of
the directors Of the various branches
OF the Seaboard system in inoorsing
the attitude of the officers in the re-.
cent rate war first created the impress
sion that another war might be resort
ed to.
Color is given this belief by an inter-
view with Vice President st. John OF
the Seaboard, in the Washington Star.
The inference necessarily drawn from
this interview is that Mr.. St. Johns
price of peace is the withdrawal of the
Southerns steamer line between Balti-
more aud Norfolk, and the grant of the
Seaboard's demand that it's sleepers be
carried through from Washington to
New Orleans.
These were the demands Of the Sea-
board last summer, and, failirg to get
what wac wanted, the Seaboard In
augurated the great rate war. No
surprise, therefore, would be- created
by another declaration OF war at any
time.
The Seaboard Air Line" said Mr..
ST. John to reporter, twill demand
from its competitors all the privileges
accorded to any other railway com
pany, and failing 10 receive them, will
resort to such means to enforce it's
demands as may be deemed wise and
just by the directors OF the company.
IF the Southern Railway Company
wants to preserve the peace between
itself and the Seaboard Air Line, it
knows exactly what to do" continued
Mr.. st. John. To further question
he said that the Seaboard Air Line
announced some months ago that it
wanted to run through passenger
coaches from New York to New Or
leans, and that itstill wants that right.
He added:
" do not look upon the concessions
which we have said we wanted in the
light OF favor. 1 consider that tho
Seaboard has the right to demand any
and every accommodation that Is ex.
tended by any and every line to either
the Southern or any other competitor
ofothe Seaboard."
AS to whether rate war was i'm
pending, Mr.. St. John said
That depends entirely upon what
the Southern may do, IL it does any
thing to change the existing condition
OF affairs. AS said before, 1t knows
what step Is necessary for them to take
TO restore harmony. Right here |
Wlsn TO say that the impression which
mas gotten abroad that the Seaboard
1s always anxious to fight its compete.
tors is an erroneous one. The Seaboard
does not want rate wars, but we know
our rights, and trust and hope we
will always be able to maintain and
enforce them0
