Chief Constable Sam LaFar is max
ing it so hot for the blind tigers in
Charleston that many of the long es-
tablished resorts for the thirsty have
closed for the season. The police force
and the regular constables stationed
in Charleston have been too friendly
with the tigers and have not hunted
them successfully. LaFar and his
force of constables were sent from
Greenville to take hand in the hunt
and they have given the tigers more
trouble than they have ever had since
the first days OF the dispensary law.

The examination OF applicants for
scholarships in Winthrop College was
to have been held in the Office of Su-
perintendent of Education Friday and
a number of young ladies presented
themselves for examination, but the
questions had not come from the col
lege and the examination had to be
postponed. The responsibility for the
non arrival of the examination ques-
tions has not been fixed, but there
must have been carelessness or neglect
somewhere. The young ladies who
wished to stand the examination have
been put to needless trouble and in
convenience.
Sunday afternoon John Hit, white
boy apparently about Is or 20 years
old, was arrested by Policeman
McKagen for firing pistol near the
depot. The facts ascertained by the
police were that HIT and Boozier
Dozier, negro boy, had a difficulty
and the negro opened fire on Hit with
rocks and brick bats. Hit after dodg
ing behind tree for few moments
pulled a pistol and shot at Dozier.
HIT was poor marksman and did not
bring down his game, but Dozier did
not like the smell of gun powder and
did not continue the battle. When
Dozier took to his heels, HIT put up
his pistol and went on his way until
arrested. The case was docketed for
trial before the Mayor, but Mr..
L. D. Jennings, representing Dozier.
asked for jury trial and the Mayor.
therefore, postponed the trial until
tho afternoon until jury could be
summoned.

The Electric Light Co. is unable at
the present time to supply the demand
for lights in stores. Offices and at resi-
dences and those who are anxious to
use electric lights must either put in
their own lighting plant or do with
out. SO far as common report goes the
Electric Light Co. does not contem-
plate increasing the capacity of It's
plant in the near future and there is
no ,os1ect of the demand for electric
lights being met There is also a grow
ing neeti for electric power in the day 10

tablishments that require power. II
