The Hampton Testimonial Fund.

Mrs. j. r. Vandiver has received the
following letter directed to the Robert
E. Lee Chapter of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy Of this city:
CHARLESTON, S. c., June 5th, 1899.
Dear Madam: Circulars have been
sent to each Chapter Of the o. D. c. in
South Carolina, calling on them to
exert their influence to swell the Testi-
monial Fund for the rebuilding and
furnishing of Gen. Hampton's home.
Allow me to urge upon you that we
do not lose this opportunity of showing
that our organization is q power In the
State. Let each Chapter do what some
have already done, empty their treasu-
nv and the members give personally
for the privilege Of serving the man
who, above all others, put out a strong
arm to raise South Carolina from the
ashes of her ruined homes.
[ wish each Chapter to be informed
that handsome wreath Of palmetto
tied with sash OF white ribbon bear
ing the badge of the South Carolina
Division U. D. C. has been sent in the
name of the Division to Winchester.
Va, where, tomorrow, will be unveil-
ed the monument to the South Carolina
soldiers who sleep in that beautiful
valley. Yours sincerely,
Mrs. w. C. MCGOWAN,

There seems to be little prospect of
that uniformity of State laws regula-
ding marriage and divorce, which is so
desirable and which has been so long
advocated by those who appreciate the
demoralizing effects Of the loose divorce
system that prevails in many parts of
the country. The American Bar Asso-
citation has given its powerful influence
to this reform movement, but we do
not believe that the wisest men even
in that distinguished organization
could frame divorce law which would
be accepted by all the States. To some
Of them it would seem too stringent
and to others too lax, for in the forty
four States which constitute the Union
we, find widely divergent views and
practices regarding divorce. Perhaps
It would be best after all for every
State to- adopt South Cardinals law, NO
divorce under any circumstances.

A law class of forty-eight women
has just been graduated from New
York University. It is now nine years
since this course was introduced, yet
the public is just beginning to under
stand and appreciate it's purpose. Its
aim is not to make lawyers out of wO-
men, but to give them a practical
knowledge of the laws which concern
them, especially in the direction OF the
management OF property.
= In Germany pupils OF the public
schools perform an exercise in draw
ing with the right hand, and then are
compelled to do it with the left until
they have accomplished just as salts
factory results, while in the industrial
schools ambidexterity is also taught by
requiring the use OF the left hand in
saving wood andin similar occupations.
tits claimed that not only does this
render a person almost doubly efficient,
but that the general health is much
improved by it, as a more nearly per-
feet circulation is thus established.
= The world has for some time been
aware Of the use of oil on troubled
waters, but the idea of oil to prevent
dust storms in streets is a novelty. An
Iowa engineer claims to have demon
strated that liberal use Of crude oil
on muddy roads soon transforms them
into models Of cleanliness. The effect
of sprinkling oil on the ground is to
give it a hard, compact surface, upon
which water cannot remain. The re-
suit is complete absence Of mud in
wet weather and Of dust in other times.

w. r. Crawford, the State Constable
who killed Mrs. Stuart in her own
home in Columbia last winter, was
tired in Camden last week and acquit-
led. This was what we expected, when
he secured a change Of venue from
Richland County to Kershaw County.
Had he not been a State Constable and
had been caught with a little s'blind
tiger whiskey in his possession, he
would certainly have been convicted
and punished, but for shooting and
killing q helpless woman he goes free,
and, no doubt, the attorneys who de-
Tended him will be paid liberal fees by
The State for their services. Oh, con-
sistency, thou art ajewel. When Courts
and Juries fail to do their duty, Judge
Lynch has good ground to step in and
do his duty.

We are having fine rains. On the 31st
Of May we had a tremendous waterfall
in this immediate vicinity. Terraces
or nothing else stood in the way. Con-
siderable damage was done to the land,
as we'll as the growing crops. The
gentle showers that are falling to-day,
we hope, will even things UP.
Wheat has been harvested and the
threshers are on their rounds getting 1t
out. The yield will not be large,
though the grain is good.
The farmers are exceeding busy just

edge is made to cut will in the end
come out victor.
Gardens are in fine trim now, and we
are having plenty of potatoes. beans.

The final act Of the Supreme Court in
Columbia before adjourning for the
spring term was to file an important
decision affecting the dispensary law.
The dispensary people, when accept
ing the decision Of the United States
Supreme Court that liquor could be
brought into the State for personal use
by common carrier, always declined to
admit the right of citizen to bring
into the State or have brought into the
State by private conveyance liquor for
his own use. There has been num-
her of cases where men bringing whis-
key across the North Carolina line for
their own use have been arrested and
the liquor and teams coD6scated. 1t
was on case of this character that
test was made, Three men from Ches-
terfeld County went over into North
Carolina, where they purchased twenty
gallons Of whiskey. When they re-
turned home they were arrested by
State constables, their team and liquor
being coniscated. They were tried
and convicted, and appealed. i was
on this appeal the case was brought up.
Acting under provisions OF the new
Constitution and for the SECOND time
the Supreme Court called the judges
en- banc. Judges Ernest Gary, Gage
and Benet did not sit. Justice Jones
fled dissenting opinion, cOncurred IN
by Justice Pope and Judges Townsend
and Klugh. The opinion Of the ma
jority of the Court, reversing the lower
Court, was given by Justice E. B: Gary,
concurred in by Chief Justice McIver,
and Judges Aldrich, Watts and Buch--
anan. The majority, therefore, had
but one to spare. SO now citizen OF
South Carolina can drive over into
North Carolina, cross the Savannah
River INTO Georgia, or send his team
over with,an agent, buy whiskey foT
his own use and return with II. The
law protects him.

It is generally accepted that the
Porto Rican commission will recon-
mend the speedy establishment OF a
territorial government in that depen-
dency. Self government under the
United States Constitution is a great
privilege, but those under the jurisdic-
ton Of our government who are fit for
It and deserve it can claim it as a right.
General Henry has stated that the peo-
pie of Porto Rico are abundantly able
to administer justice in their own land,
and this is relied upon by the Porto
Rican commissioners to prove fitness
for legislative autonomy.
