were entered at Mr.. Tucker Sands's resi-
dence and those of Mrs. c. NJ. Taylor
and Mr. G. r. Tomlinson. On Saturday
night small amounts were stolen from
clothing at the residences of Mr.. II. L.
Lorraine and Rev. w. p. Crismond n
check in the latter's pocket-book was not
taken. The same night the house of Mr.
Alex. Meyer was again entered and SlV
was taken.
HE HIT SOMETHING.
Naturally. Barton Heights is much
wrought up. Every sound at night is
thought by nervous housewives TO be
made by the omnipresent burglar. A
night or two ago a gentleman's wife
aroused him and told him somebody was
trying TO enter the house. The husband
listened closely. and sure enough, there
were sounds as though some one were
prying open the shutter to the kitchen
window. Securing his pistol he went
down to the kitchen. He heard the noise
proceeding evidently from the window.
Taking the best aim possible, he fired
There was no dull thud' of a falling
body nor sounds of flying feet. But there
was a rush of many water and the
kitchen was deluged. The pistol ball cut a
water-pipe almost clean in two.
The Vigilance Committee is hopeful of
capturing tho thieves. The police extend
every aid possible. Thus far 1t has been
impossible TO get clue.

Notes from the Churches.
Intersociety Meetings.

Very Rev. f. NJ Tearney and Messrs.
Joseph A. Dart and j. Nj. Powers, COM
mitteo Of the McGill Catholic Union, IN
circular letter 10 the members, say:
"The arrangements for the intersociety
meeting have been made. and the first
of the series will be held on Monday
night. June 18th. at Cathedral Hall. on
which occasion the ST. Leo Catholic Club
and st. Patrick's Social and Beneficial
Society will be our guests
The object of these reunions is to
make the Catholic young men OF Rich
mond better acquainted and promote
good will and cordial feeling. AS the
McGill Union is to take the lead in this
good work, it is very desirable that this
first meeting should be a grand success.
For this purpose it is necessary that all
the members should take a lively interest
and cooperate with the committee"

On Top.

And now State Liquor Commissioner Douth.
itcomes out on top. His former accusers now
think their charges have not been proven,
and he is reinstated in Office. The pity Is
that he should have been charged with mis-
doing. Let the Legislature investigate the
whole matter. and let us know the facts. In
the storm that was raised against Douthit
Injustice has been done TO him, II he Is inno-
cent of evildoing. and his former accusers
now are satisfied with the correctness Of bis
official acts. We congratulate him, and
would make proper amends ourself If we
have done:him snyiinjustfce in believing or
repeating what we saw in print.
The dispensary or its management has 30
often been assailed, that we shall hereafter be
slow to believe anything that is said against
1t or Its management. That institution has
been more sinned against than SHINING, and
the temperance people of this State may be
on their gnard.
The saloon men prefer anything to the dis.
pensary. Some Of them, at least, would pre-
fer prohibition. Under prohibition the State
would be flooded with liquor.

Waiting for Suggestions.

Senator Appelt Of Marion, 1t seems, is yield.
ing something to the liquor element. he has
prepared bill which he will submit, TO take
the place Of the present dispensary law. AS
far as we know, there has been no demand
from the friends Of the law for Its repeal.
Any suggestion for any change in the law
should be received with degree Of caution.
We believe, too. that the News and Courier ia.
vors Senator Appelt's bill. And everybody
knows that that paper favors nothing which
strengthens, or makes better, the dispensary
law. Accepting the invitation for sugges-
tions, we suggest that Senator Appelts,bill be
promptly and carefully laid away In the
waste basket. Any bill which Columbia or
Charleston, spartanburg or Greenville pro.
poses or supports in reference to the liquor
business should recsive the same careful and
prayerful consideration that we suggest be
given to Senator Appelt's bill.

NORTHERN MILL MEN.
Their Visit to AbbevilIe and Some
Notes OF Their Presence.

Last Friday night party Of Northern mill
men in charge Of Mr.. 8. NJ. Milliken Of New
came to ana TO INSPECT their ~ MIL prop
erty In this city. They were on their annual
Southern tour. looking after their invest.
ments down this'w
stock kholders met In the mill office. Mr.. r.
N. Haddon was called TO the chair, and Hon.
" h. Parker was requested to act as secre.
Mr. Bailey's annual report gave an interest.
ing history OF the mill, which was expressed
IN the most chaste English. He gave a
satisfactory report OF the work OF the mill for
progress In building and In furnishing new
machines for the mill.
The election OF directors was gone into. In
tiops by ballot was suspended, and stock
holder was requested to cast the ballot, which
was for the following named gentlemen:
s. NJ. Milliken. New York.
John W. Danielson, Providence.

g. A. Visanska, Abbeville.
B. 8. Barnwell, Abbeville.
Hugh Wilson, Abbeyille.
John A. Harris, Abbeville.
3. F. Bailey, Abbeville.
The stockholders meeting was adjourned,
when the directors met and elected Mr.. Bal
ley. president and treasurer, Mr. Visanska.
vioe-president, and Mr.. Parker. secretary.
when nearly all the visiting gentlemen went
through the mill. Their expressions OF the
insutation were very gratifying TO The home
people. And their act In taking big block
OF stock, emphasized and punctuated their
remarks.
After the transaction OF the business for
which the Northern gentlemen had come, 1t
was proposed to exhibit our relics of former
days, which still remain among us as memo

and Immediately asked II We would be
obliged TO come back this way In going 10 the

They were highly pleased with the school
house and spoke with xest which attested
their sincerity.
When some OF the party reached the top OF
the hill, one OF them seemed more interested
than the rest, and said he supposed that this
was a pretty fair sample OF the town. This
encouraging remark induced his chaperone

State Constable and Illicit Liquor
Dealer Killed.

.
John Bennett Cornwell, State constable, and
Little" George Howard, suspected Of selling
LIQUOR illicitly. were shot in light near
Greenville one day last week. Both men oleo
ON Thursday. Constable Cooley, OF Honea
Path, was wounded at the same time, and 1t Is
said he fired the fatal shot at Howard.
These deaths are q result Of the efforts
which are being made by liquor dealers to de-
fy the law.
The lawfully appointed State constables
found men In the woods with q wagon and
team, and LIQUOR was found near by. The
seizure of the liquor and the arrest Of persons
supposed to be engaged In tho sale OF liquor
was the cause OF the trouble.
The State Of South Carolina prescribes the
mode by which liquor sales are to be made,
and appoints authorized persons to sell It..
But, encouraged by those who dislike the re-
strictions on the sale OF LIQUOR, and IN the
hope OF making large profts for themselves
certain persons will run the risk Of the penal
ties for violating the law.
The LIQUOR, in this instance, was found In
the neighborhood Of q factory village, VIII ere
1t was unlawful to sell it.
The question now 10, must the laws OF South
Carolina be modified so as TO suit the pleas
ure of those who would disregard the public
welfare? Should our laws be modified so as
to allow whiskey wagons to peddle intoxicat-
ing liquors through the country
It occurs TO us that the proper authori
should en- force the law. When moonshiners
and blind tigers can bulldoze the Legislature,
we are at low state of civilization. These
moonshiners shot respectable Officers Of the
law, and II the State Of South Carolina II
worthy Of her name, she will enforce her
laws. We see by the papers that the friends
OF Howard are dangerous men. Is the State
OF South Carolina afraid Of dangerous"
citizens who violate her laws. Watch the
votes of the next General Assembly. Either
peaceable and law-abldipg citizens must rule,
or else they must be terrorized by the mob In
its unlawful capacity.
