changes. Some Fatal Some
Otherwise.

Saturday afternoon about ) o'clock
one of the most remarkable shooting
aifrays occurred on the corner OF two of
the leading streets Of Spartanburg that
has ever been known. Considering the
fact chat no fatalities resulted, it is
scarcely short of incredible. Two men
at close range, on the corner of Main
street and Magnolia emptied two five
shooting, 3S-calibre pistols at each other
All the while throngs of people were
passing i'll all directions. One by-stander
was injured by Il ball in the foot
Garrison Carruth, from near Campo
bcllo, and Officer White were the per-
sons engaged in the shooting, and the
affair created tremendous excitement
and commotion.

MIR, EDIroE.-In nosing around
the Capitol, a few days ago we ran
across some interesting old papers
which had recently been found in an
old plumber room in the State House.
Among them we saw some old pay
rolls, dated 1929. 1t seems that
the officers and artisans were paid off
in negroes. We saw one roll of Col.
Henry Hampton, dated March, 1882.
After a list Of negroes, grown and
small, and list of the officers to
whom they were decided follows
foot note: "By the above Regimental
pay roll there appears to have been
decided to Col. Henry Hampton
regiment, agreeable to General Sum-
ter's instructions for rasing the troops
ITO grown and small negroes, and
that said regiment has received in
part thereof 45 grown and 7 small
negroes, signed
WIN. HENDERSON,
THos. JONES"
IN. B. Two small negroes and one
old negro, not fit to be served to the
troops, are still in the regiment.
We also saw an order for clothing
for the troops signed by Col. Wade
Hampton, the grandfather of our
mnch loved General Wade Hampton.
Two other papers have the signature
of General Sumpter. There are
many interesting old relics to be seen
at the old capitol and the courteous
gentlemen in charge take quite
pleasure in showing them to any one

"a member Of the Prohibition party

You viii pardon me, bat really l
must cay that you, IKE . great many
other usually well posted editors, do
not altogether ~undes1tand the desire,

MISTAKEN in your Ire than when you
assert that . curfew ordinance Il in
keeping with the principles OF our
party. The eurfew ordinance deals
VITA lndividaals e such, and the same
may be said Of temperance, but Pro-
hihition does not deal with individuals,
but with law. Prohibition does not
say What . MAJ shall drink or what be
shall eat or wherovithAlI ne shall be
clothed. Il does oot mean that enc
class Of people thall drink liquor and
thAs another IihalI not as 60 many
would make believe. A curtew or
dinanoe that does not include Individ-
uais Of all ages might be termed
snmptunry law, bot Prohibition Law

mar, woman and child in the country
equal privileges and equal rights

lam opposed to q curfev law, be-
cause conditions should not exist In
this or any other town that would
make 1t necessary to have All such
restrictions. To admit that a curfew
Law IL necessary Is to admit that the
moral corruption OF Mexico is such
that il is not safe for the youth OF the
city to be on the streets Of the city
after night. There could be no other
eason and that reason should not
exist This town and every other in
the State should be Just a safe for
children after night AZ at mid day,
and they would be pretty nearly 80 II
the professsd principles of Christianity
and civilization, which are presumed
to govern in this country, really did
rule, instead Of the liquor trafic and
its attendant evils. No, siri The Pro-

hence any necessity for q curfeW
