possession Of 500. 900 entitled a man to be con.

cost of living was scarcely half what 1t is now.
When Col. Thornc lived in Paris in the early

French capital. Louis Philippe delighted to

SOME CAUSES OF CRIME

From the Auburn Bulletin.

from " duOuTH uitft
Yesterday afternoon. In Willard Chapel. tho
Rev. vii lam Sears. d. D.. formerly chaplain
OF Auburn prieon. delivered a lecture on THE
CAUSED OF Crime" His lecture was In outline:
THE first great cause of crime is found in
Inherited criminal tendencies. Heredity is in
exorable in its laws. and thousands are born
into the world with a pre.decided character
that drives them remorselessly In tho down.
ward path. The famous case of the jokes gives
most startling statistics. From Margaret and
her two sisters there sprang forth such "A fam
lily Of criminals that Margaret has ever since
been called the mother of crime In 100
years their descendants numbered 100 and
OF their number 80 Sero paupers and 300 &C
cused OF crime. The aggregate OF their ter .ns
served In prison amounts TO 100 years. AID tho

The Second cause OF crime is dlsrespcct for
law. This IL found among the old and young

rectlv there are many influences contributing
10 the growth Of this in. The low dance hall
and the cheap thehire both pay their part. Our
laws are very faulty AS regards these evils
A great reform Is needed. Another cause n
crime Is u oaesided education. As ae'l put

Is Judge simontor inverted

The Charleston co espondent
of the Columbia Regist4r says that
Judge Simonton is evidently a
thorough convert to the claims of
the dispensary system as a moral
institution-or at least to the
moral features of the system taken
by themselves. In his charge to
the jury yesterday in the Beckroge
case his Honor said:
"The great feature of the Dispen-
sary law, the destruction of the sa-
looms and the political influences
of saloons, preventing drinking
liquor in places where liquor is
sold, requiring the liquor
establishments to be kept open
during certain hours, the destruc-
ton of the habit of treating and
the protection cast around minors
and habitual drunkards, these
features will not be injured or
protected by any verdict you may
render. No political question
enters this case at all
But in addition to these great
features of the dispensary law,
and I want to say here that if they
were the questions involved, if
our verdict would settle or
unsettle those principles of the
dispansary law, there is No court
in the State who would be more
prompt to declare that the
provisions to which have refererd
you are not only lawful, but the
wisest exercise Of the police
powers of this State"
Such tribute to Ben Tillman's
system for regulating the liquor
traffic, from Judge Simonton, is
worthy of note.

Talking Out Right.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1 merely wish, IL
very few words, to endorfe the
call in your last issue over the
signature of "Home Rule" in
reference to the resignation of cer-
tain Greenwood gentlemen who are
persistently swinging on to Edge
fell Offices. "Home Rule" is right,
and how those Greenwood gentle
men, with a proper sense of pro-
pristy, can hesitate longer to va
cate their EagefeM Offices is to Inc
an unsolved problem. Right and
justice to the people of Edgefeld
demand that those Greenwood gen.
men with Etlgefeld Offices in their
pockets should step down and out
with a double-quick movement.
We all want and believe in Home
Rule, and resident citizens of
and they alone, should
fill and control Edgefeld offices of
honor and trust, and none others
should attempt or dare to usurp
:he rights of the people of Edge
field. RIGHT is RIGHT.

Home F Folks in Washington.

Just before Congress assembled
this morning a report wai
circulated at the Capitol to the
effect that Senator Earle, of South
Carolina, had died at his home in
Greenville, from Bright's disease
Senator Tillman, and Represen.
tstives Latimer and McLaurin at
once telegraphed to Greenville and
received denial of the rumor. 1t
appears that Senator Earle's
daughter, who was in Washington,
received q telegram, stating that
her father was very i'll and request
ing her to ccme home at once.
Senator Earle has made many
friends during his brief career i'll
the Senate, and Senators and
Representatives of every political
faith today expressed the deepest
sympathy for him in his present
illness. His courtly manner, his
ability as a lawyer and his elo-
queuce as debator is fully recog-
nized by his Senatorial associates,
and he is destined to occupy a
prominent place in the Senate
should he recover. At a recent
caucus of Democratic Senators he
made a strong speech, in favor of
recognizing the Senate committee,
and the steering committee has
determined to resign him to two
important committees, claims, and
postoffices and postroads.-News

distant relation by affinity of Col.

Colonel say that the sharpest sting
in his bosom relative to the
Shannon trouble was that be failed
to recognize tie salute that salute
that Col. Shannon gave him as he
came on the ground to settle the
grievance. Here is Col. Cash's pri-
vate declaration to me on several
different occasions: "If I had only
seen Col. Shannon salute me as he
came on the ground [ would not
have fired q shot, but would have
advanced and said: Gentlomen |

I know Col. Shannon is not, and

Trying to Save the Dispensary

Columbia, S. c., May 15.-The
Vandercook case is now occupying
the entire attention of Attorney
General Barber and Assistant
Attorney Geneal Townsend. They
are both hard at work preparing
their papers and arguments. They
fully realize that ii the case is lost
it means death blow to the state
dispensary system. Hereabouts
all regard this case as the crisis in
the career of the dispensary and
there are already rumors Of an ex-
ira session of the general assembly
being called Immediately in the
event of an adverse decision by
Judge Simonten.
Governor Ellerhe has as yet had
nothing TO say along this line, but
he is known to be watching the
development of the Vandercook
case with the keenest interest.

OfFeVer i'm ONEDAY.

In the Buzzard- Henderson case
the defense challenged the
indictment, but it had been so
carefully drawn that it stood the
test, the Judge ruled in favor of
the State without hearing any
argument,from the Solicitor at all.
This indictment was drawn by
Hon. ]. VIM. Thurmond without
any assistance or even a suggestion
from any one. In drawing
indictments where several persons
are indicted together in such cases
as this was it requires great deal
of skill, and had this indictment
been defective, and the Judge ruled
against the State the whole case
would have 10 have been
,,!one over again which would
have cost the county $500, $400.
or may be roore than il costs as
it is. Soy9u can see the Importance
of having a Solicitor, like
Thurmond, who knows his business
indictments are often quashed
because they are not properly
drawn, but not when drawn by
Thurmond.--Saluda Advocate.
