IMPORTANT NOTICE
Tothe People Of Pickens and
Wise Townships.


AS YOU will remember suit was
II brought sometime ago in the
United States Court to enforce the
payment of Bonds issued by y ourtown-
ships, respectively, known as Railroad
Bonds. These suits resulted in judg-
ment against your townships for con.
siderable sum of money.
We have been served with Man.
damus directing US to make levy
upon the property in these townships
sufficient to pay this judgment.
A levy at one time sufficient to pay
this Judgment would far exceed the
ability of our people to pay; and we
therefore deem it our duty to inform
you of the conditions by which we are
confronted; and ask that you take the
matter into consideration.
We, therefore, respectfully request
all of the citizens of these two town
ships who feel an interest in this i'm
portant matter, to meet at Edgefeld

FORMER SENATOR BUTLER
SIDES WITH NIcLAURIN.

SIDES WITH McLAURIN.
Washington, April 22.-General
M. C. Butler, of South Carolina,
who was succeeded in the senate
six years ago by Senator Tillman,
is inclined to regard the attitude
of Senator McLaurin with ap-
proval. In long interview today
with the Daily News correspon-
dent he declared he could not
predict the effect of McLaurin's
speech in South Carolina, but
says:
."If T had been IL the senate l
should have voted just as Nc
Laurin did, with the exception
perhaps of his vote for the ship
subsidy bill. South Carolina
subsidized every railroad built IN
the state by subscribing to Inc
capital stock of the companies up
to the breaking out of the war. Ii
am not mistaken this course was
pursued in behalf of every railroad
without exception.
att will be insisted perhaps
that there is a difference III
principle between such action by
a state and by the federal govern
ment. The federal government
certainly subsidized to the ex-
tent of millions and hundreds OF
millions in the Union Pacific rail
road, undoubtedly by the vote
and help of good democrats
However that may be, it does not
come very gracefully from some
so-called democrats to question
.McLaurin's democracy and under,
take to read him out of the party
for voting as he did when they
within two weeks thereafter
wheeled around and voted with
apparent gusto for a railroad sub
sidy which was not wanted by the
positmastu1 general, and was
therefore said, at the time, by the
consistent demoep SIM; SIM;
ple gratu;tzssm the treasury"
General Butler does notfear the
cry of imperialism and says that
I constitutional government is In
more danger from demagogism
aocialism, anarchism and such
heresies and fallacies.
"What the South needs now
more than ever in it's history, is
broad, liberal statesmanship,
which suggests more than mere
obstruction and opposition, con-
forming in all respects to constitu-
tional limitations, but getting IN
line with the progress and devel-
opment of the age. We are just
emerging from the paralyzing eff
fects of reconstruction with all its
horrors AMI crimes, and should
turn our face to the front and
contribute to the state and
national power on all legitimate
lines. I believe McLaurin and
many other young men of the
south are in harmony with this
course, and, therefore, his course
has my approval. The democracy,
in my judgment, made fatal
blunder when it permitted the
republicans to appropriate to
their own use the question grow
ing out of tie Spanish war. The
democrats did as much to bring
about that war as the republicans
and should have claimed their
share of its results and conse-
quences. For myself, I am re-
joiced that the crust of our nation
al isolation has beon broken and
that we can take our proper place
among the nations of the earth. y

Frank that he walked up and down in
front of the house no less than nine
times in as many minutes.
Amelia spoke to her father. The pa
rent became angry. He had once or
dered the suitor for his daughters
hand from the house. Frank had board
ed with the family, and 1t was there
that he learned to think well of the
dark-haired daughter of the host.
Finally the proposition to elope came
and then two sharp detectives took the
unhappy man to a dark cell in the
Maxwell street station.
Justice Dooley was told all about it.
Frank said he loved the girl, and he be-
lieved she loved him.
"The whole trouble is that the IA
ther of the girl insists on interfering
with u.s." said the defendant.

old. She says she does not care for
you and has no desire to become your
wife. You will, therefore, let her
alone"
"Yes, I wish he would let me alone,
said the girl. II am too young to elope
and want nothing to do with him"
The justice continued the case.

the outside. The boys almost broke
their necks in getting away. Reaching
over into the pan the snake took good
drink, and before the startled printers
could secure club with which to dis
patch the reptile it had disappeared.
The next day at the same hour the
snake came for another drink, and
that was repeated the third and fourth
days, but the last time it was attacked
from the rear by big black Thomas
cat that makes its home at Testers
livery barn, next door. 1t was a lively
fight for a few seconds, but the cat
was too much for the snake, although
it was fully four feet long, and the
reptile made a shoot for the rear of
the office. The cat was after it like a
streak of lightning, but the snake
found hole in the brick wall and dis
appeared under the building. That
was two weeks ago. Before that time
the printing Office was overrun with
mice, but since then there hasn't been
a mouse about the place. Any of our
readers who are troubled with mice are
cordially invited to come and borrow
our snake for few days"

In these days of feminine enter

In a puzzled sort of way and asked:
"Will you have anything to drink?"
laughed and declined, and more
embarrassed than ever, he returned
to the charge:
"I don't suppose you could use a
cigar?"
Again I laughingly declined. He
studied over the situation for a mo-
ment; then his face frightened.
