Old Dick is no More.

Old Dick is dead. He quit living
last Monday night at the corpora
ton stable on East Sixth street.
Dick was known to most people as
kicking" Dick. He had been the
property of the city for about seven
years, and was usually driven to the
corporations dump-cart. He was a
good horse, but had a peculiar habit
ofkicking and whinnying every
time a shovelful of dirt was thrown
into the cart. He was never known
to stand five minutes without going
through this performance, and
we have even heard it said that he
keptit up during his sleeping hours.
The obsequies were conducted by
his old friend and driver, John
Hackney, and all that remained of
old kicking" Dick was laid to rest
in the bone-yard. 1t is reported
but with what truth we cannot say
that when the first shovelful OF
earth fell upon the old horse
carcass, the muscles in his rear
quarters, from sheer force of habit,
began twitching nervOusly, and ii
was thought for awhile that he with
his kicking proclivities had risen to
life again.

The City Must Not Enforce the Screen
Law Yet Awhile.
Last Tuesday Peyton & Son, re-
tail whiskey sellers, through their
attorneys Messrs. Webster & Son
and VOORHEES, & Fowler, filed their
bill of injunction in the Chancery
Court at Columbia, against the
Board Sof Mayor and Aldermen of
this city to restrain them from en-
forcing the ordinance recently
passed and known as the screen law.
This ordinance provides that no
screen, stained glass, curtains or
other obstruction, shall be placed
in front of any place where spirit
uous liquors are sold to be drunk up
on the premises, so as to Obstruct the
view of the interior from the front
entrance, and providing fine OF not
less than $25 nor more than $50 for
each day its provisions are violated.
The ordinance also provides that all
saloons, bar rooms, wine rooms, and
all other places where spirituous'
vinous, malt, or other intoxicating
LIQUORS are sold to be drank upon the
premises, shall be located in the
front room on the ground floor OF
the building in which the same is
located.
This ordinance was to have taken
effect on and after April /, 1897, but
the injunction was issued pursuant
to the prayer of said bill and the
city now will have to test the
validity of this ordinance in the
courts. This Injunction is only
Temporary. If the courts shoulc
hold that the city had the power tC
pass this ordinance it will be en-
forced, but if the court should hole
otherwise the injunction will b'
made perpetual.
Chancery Court meets here il
April at which time the question
will be argued before the Chancel
Tor, from whose decision, howeve
it may be, an appeal will, no doubt
be taken to the Supreme Court o
the State, which meets at Nashville

A BOLD NEGRESS.
Bessie Thomas Arrested For Taking
Things That Belonged To Other
PaOnlp,

Things That Belonged To other
... People.
Bessie Thomas is a negress, and
bears reputation that is not at all
enviable. For many months the
people of South Columbia have been
annoyed by her pranks, but no great
deal of attention was paid to her
until quite recently.
Bessie lad a habit of prowli ling
around back doors during the day
time and letting things come in con-
tact with and stick to her hands
that belonged to other people.
Wash pans, tin buckets, articles of
apparel-in fact anything that was
easily handled-soon snapped
ownership when Bess came near.
Indeed, on one occasion lady had
just baked cake and placed it on a
shelf in the back porch to cool, when
Bess happened along and politely
picked it up, broke i. half in two
and slipped one portion of it under
her shawl.
But her thefts have all been of a
trifiing nature until of late. Among
her recent offenses, however, were
the stealing of an IS hat from a
young lady on Thirteenth street, u
dress valued at 81 or SO from a
lady on the Bigbyville pike, and a
$l5 cloak from lady on High street.
The people could bear her otfenses
no longer, so last Monday a warrant
was sworn out for her arrest and
Officer Voss went in search for her.
She was found and arrested and
brought before Judge Erwin for
trial She submitted her case, and
was bound over to the Circuit Court.

A Nest az Thieves.

For more than month Mr.. S. b.
Nichols has been missing goods
from his store at Carter's Creek, and
has made every effort to catch them,
but was unsuccessful until last
Saturday. The thieves did their
work while Mr.. Nichols and Mr..
Mckay were at dinner. On the day
mentioned, Mr.. Mckay went to din
ner and locked the store as usual,
but Mr.. Nichols hid himself in the
store. While there, Jim Harris,
(alias Will Moore) a negro, entered
through a back window and pro-
ceeded to help himself to the con-
tents of the cash drawer. Mr..
Nichols protested, however, and a
lively tussle ensued, the negro
finally being overpowered. Harris
confessed to having committed the
robberies, and implicated two other
negroes, Will Harris and Pup Har-
bison. All three of the negroes
were arrested and tried before the
magistrate at Carriers Creek, and
were bound over to the Circuit
| Court.

CLEAN OUT THE SIRE ANS.

In another column of this issue, Super
visor Culp publishes an advertisement
which is of especial importance to land
owners in York county, whose lands are
traversed by streams. We have reference
to the notice of the requirements of the
law, providing that streams be cleaned
out during the month Of August.
The law is good one. Most of the
streams in this county are pretty well
filled up, greatly to the injury Of the bot
tom lands through which they run, and
the distractions consist principally oi
"trash, trees, timber and rafts," as men,
toned in the statute. In 1898, quite d
number Of landowners cleaned out the
streams as required by this law. AS the
result, the streams were generally deep
ened by the action of the water, and last
year, more trees, timber, trash, ETC., were
exposed. This years cleaning will be fol-
lowed by the same result, and, eventually,
the beds of the streams will be lowered
sufficiently to insure thorough drainage
and lessen the danger of disastrous over
flows.
To comply with this law, of course, in
wolves Il great deal of Inconvenience but
it is not safe to ignore it OH this account
The enforcement of the law is in the
hands of those who are most Interested
If the landowner below fails to clean out
his streams and they damage the land.
