Near Anderson, S. G., last week
Burk Bolt, a prominent farmer, was
seriously shot by his son-in-law Geo.
Kcaslcr. The men had a dispute
about fence corner and had been
quarrclinG for days. KcaSlcr sent
threats to mis- iathcr-iu-law. The
morning Of the shooting after ,Ithad
left home his wife sent one Of her
children to him with pistol, as she
feared trouble. The child and Bolt
returned home, but did not see any
thing Of kcasIcr. When they
reached home and were unhitching
the horse, Kcaslcr walked up to his
fathcr-in-law and shot him with a
double -barrclcd shotgun, l"aGrd
with BB shot, both loads of which
took effect. Bolts recovery is very
doubtful.

of M@lzI42sAI1Mx

There is at least one sensible farmer
IN South Carolina. At this time when
fertilizers arc being so heavily bought
ana there is so much talk of another big
crop, it is refreshing to read a paragraph
Ike the following from a Barnwcll paper:
'Mr. j. a. Jenkins cuts down cotton
acreage this year. lie reasons that the
laSt years crop having been n failure in
Texas the lands there arc rested and
farmers will make double crops this
year, and the price will be lower than
last yoar while the cost of making the
staple will bc ever so much higher"

Senator MCLaurin.

Senator McLaurin has been rccciv-
ing some thrusts in the newspapers
of this State because he had the
courage to vote right on ratifying
the Paris treaty of peace, by which
the United States acquired Porto
Rico and other islands.
While we have heard compara-
lively few OF our people speak on
the subject, yet we do not now recol-
lcct to have heard anybody express
himself as opposed to the possession
of the islands. Just now Senator
Mclaurin seems to fill It bigger place
in the minds of the people than any
one else, and is more thoroughly en-
dorscd than ever before. lie has
earnest supporters hereabout, and we
do not remember of having heard a
single man say that he was opposed
to his reelection, while, if we err
not, every man who has mentioned
his name would support his rc-clcc-
tion.
Senator Tillman, in his thrust at
his associate in the Senate, has added
nothing to his own laurcls, but his
course has evoked pronounced and
uncquivocal endorsement Of Senator
McLaurin.
1t may be mere accident that all
we should hear is on one side Of the
discussion Of Senator McLaurin, and
1t IS brrely possible that there is
a strong opposition to him of which
we have not heard, but we give it as
our opinion that if test of the pub
llc sentiment of this county was
taken Senator McLaurin need have
no fear whatever of the result.
The fact is that Senator McLau-
rim voted right on the ratification of
the treaty of peace, and it is as GER
tain as any human event can be that
the public sentiment will sooner or
later sustain the act. When Scna-
tor McLaurin shall come before the
people for reelection, two years
hence, it will be seen tha. the public
sentiment will be with McI.aurin.
and az solid as possible on the sub
jcct OF holding to our newly acquired
territory.
Iii saying this, we would not dis
paragc the ability or the sincerity of
Senator 1illman. The people will
return him to the Senate, despite the
tact that he is fighting a losing game.
The people will not follow him in
any effort to rcpudiatc the action of
the government in taking possession
OF Porto Rico and the other islands.
In this instance, as in the case of
previous acquisition of territory,
many good men were opposed to The
extension of the territory, but the
people to-day, like the people on
occasion of former additions of terri
tory, arc settling down in the con-
vlction that the expansion in this in
stance is right, and that they would
sustain the government in holding
on to all the territory over which our
flag tloats.-Abbcvillc Press and

MANY DRINKS ARE TAKEN.
Dispenrary Law Does Not Seem to Lesson
Whiskcy Drinking.

COLUMBIA, March S.--l'n,lrr the new
law the directors OF the dispcnSary will
in a few days advertise for those willing
to furnish liquor to the largest retail
establishment in the world for the next
ninety days.
Before the diSpcnSary was established
the then Governor Tillman frequently
alluded to it as a great moral institu-
tion,' the argument being that it would
result in such reduced consumption of
whiSkcy that the effect would be, practi-
cally as beneficial as prohibition. Pro-
hibitioniSt# who voted for the measure
on that ground will be startled when the
figures are published showing the uuau-
tity Of liquor those who are awarded
contracts will be required to furnish for
three months consumption. The sup
plies needed will be as iullowS:
corn, 500 barrels; NN corn lOO
barrels; X rye, 523; NN rye, 100 barrels
Of higher grade rye, 50 barrels: apple
brandy 90 barrels; peach brandy, - bar
rcls porter and ale, - barrels; whiskcy
in better grade, loo caScS; Cogmac,
Scotch whiskcy, blackberry cordialS juo
eases.
The beer used is supplied by the beer
dispcnSarics that make their own pur.
chascs, paying the dsprnsary a royalty
Of Is cents Il dozen.
No liquor establishment wishing to
make bids is permitted to send repre-
sentative to make personal inquiry, nor
can they solicit orders or praise their
