Greenville News.


A farmer yesterday made the
statement in the Greenvills News
Office that we would have no snow
this winter. He seemed to he per
fectly satisfied that what he said
was true. A reporter asked him
on what theory ne based his belief
that we would not have any snow.
He replied that his theory WAS
based on the observation and ex~
psrience of his father and himself.
His father lived to he S4 wears of
age and never missed in all those
years his predictions AZ TO SNOW,
that he himself had followed tho
Same rule and he never knew i. to
fail. On being asked his theory,
the farmer said that when . boy
his father told him that ~bsn there
was no fog in August there would
be no snow that winter. He also
said that his grandfather before
him had followed the same theory
with the same results. The farmer
lives on Ssluds river, and he SAYS
there was not q single sign of fog
on the river during tho month of
August.

A Murderer at Large
The Triple Killing nj Abbevelle
Due to Previous Failures 10
Convict.


Atlanta journal.
A rutiiun named John Dansby,
after wsntonIy numbering 4 gen
tleman in AbbevilIe, , c., last
Sunday night, also killed the
sheriff of the county who had tried
to arrest him. Dansby was pro
perry shot To death 10y the sheriff 5
posse, but the putting out of his
vicious life was worry poor recom>
pense for the loss of two good
mon.
But there is really no reason
for surprise at Dsnsby's double
crime, as the telegrsphic account
of Ii says: Danshy was noted
gambler and had killed two or
three men before. His associate.
were mostly negroes. He was
tried for the murder of negro
several years ago, but was nc,
quilted. He had been drinking
for some days and WAS under the
influence of liquor when the trou-
ble occurred" "
What can he expected when
such a creature is permitted to
run at large? He Is more dangsr-
Gus to the community which his
presence affects than would be a
loose wild beast. The Charleston
News and Courier says:
"The murderer was of uotorl-
ousl y bad character, and had killed
two or three men, had been tried
and acquitted for killing . negro,
had bsen drinking for several
days and was still iniiamed with
liquor, when he shot and killed
his latest victims without provo
cation Evidently tho Ian had
dealt very leniently with him in
his course of crime and he had
come to regard it with contempt.
He bad killed two or thrso mon
before with impunity and did not
set much value upon life in conse.
quencs."
This is the simple truth and we'll
put. The juries which acquitted
Dansby for murder after murder
are responsible in a large degree
for the double murder which
ended his Infamous career.

Specializing Religion.

@Nh>'N' SN'A
cit might be wei! for other
churches to follow the example of
the Baptist church at Bowman,
Ga. According to an amendment
to its constitution which was re-
Gently adopted, all the mem bers
are to pay their debts or be ex-
pelled from the church, the church
being the Judge as to their ability
to pay"
This is specializing run mad.
1t is necessary in many lines of
business to give special attention
TO some special line of work; for
competition 10 SO great that one
must do something well in order
to succeed But 1t should be re
memhcred thrt this is mainly the
result of competition. Specialize
ing also comes from the fact that
lifa is so short one cannot expect
to accomplish much unless hs will
confne bis Iabors to a special
branch of subject.
Neither of those considerations
would apply in the practice Of re-
liglOn, for which the church is
specifically established. There is
no danger that anyone who wishes
to lead a religious life will fail
because Of the competition he will
NEE with. And should he act
on the principle that life is too
short to practice all the prscepts
of religion he would soon become
a one-sided character or crank,
with possibly y no religion at all.
There are lots of cranks in the
churches ust because of their
magnifying some special virtue
and trying to make religion con-
sist in the practice of that. For
instance, there is the temperance
crank, who substitutes total abstin,
ence for religion, who condemns,
if not directly, yet inferentially,
the Savior himself for making
wine. Then there is is the tobac-
co crank, who thinks nobody who
uses tobacco can go to heaven and
who holds up his hands in holy
horror at theiiea of clergyman
smoking cigar. There are other
cranks who specialize the matter
CT prayer and run into the fanati
cism of "livine healing" The
church. re ~ cd to at Bowman,
Ga, = fam; .cal on the subject OF
debt paying.
1t may be- true that ono cannot
be II Christian and refuse to pay
his debts if he ls able to do so:
that one cannot dance or play
cards, or attend plays, or take a
drink, or do this or that and he n
Christian. 1t is certainly true
that one may abstain from these
things that are condemned and do
all that are commended and still
be very far from Christian life.

That makes us right or wrong" &"
The church makes a mistake
when it attempts to regulate a
mans conduct by outside pressure
AS it were; by telling him he shall
do this and he shall not do that.
We doubt the wisdom of the
chnrch's making any rules of liv-
ing not specifically authorized by
the Bible itself, which Is the
Christians chart. However that
may be, tho great work and mis-
sion of the church Is to get the
heart right; then the details of
right living will take care of them

Florence, Jan 5-The Kings
tree dispensary case reached
climax this afternoon VIII, u Frank
M Player, the dispenser. was
placed behind the bars uf the
kingstree Jail to snsw'r al The
next term of court to the charr.
of malfeasance in office.
A few davs ago Gov. McSweenev
received a telegram from Kings
tree announcing that Dispenser
Player had been held up at the
back door o the dispensarv by
four masked men and robbed of
$500. Player stated that he
was unable to identify au, IF the
men and readily gave and ,Ilnwed
them to help themselves to the
contents of his safe. The story
was published at the time in full.
Player had been dispenser for
about year, and this is the third
robbery that he had reported since
he had filled that position.
Gov. AcSweeney detained w
II Holloway, we'll kn wn in Cos
lumbia, u special constable to ac-
company Mr.. Stanscll, an inspec~
tor to kingstree, to look into the
matter and if possible, to arrest
the guilty party or parties. They
have been at work continuously
ever since and have been reinforced
tho past two days by Constahles
j + Batemsn, George S McCravy
and menber of the State board,
A + ii Dukes. An examination
of the books and stock on hand
show short ge of at least 50, 500.
Such is the condition of the books
that 1t Is next to impossible to get
at tho exact amount.
The statement of these gentle
men is that PLAYER WAS incompe
tent to fill the position and bad no
conception Of the duties required
OF him. Evidently he was badly
imposed on by his friends and
lo,ned ont the States money AZ
we'll AS credited out liquor, which
is contrary to the diSpensary law.
Players bond expired Decsm-
ber 18th and the board knew this
fact, yet he was not required to
renew it, and it is stated that
Player, while under the influence
of liquor, boosted on the streets
Christmas day that he had 81, 900
in his pocket, and when remon
strated with by his friends that he
should not take such a risk but
should deposit it with the county
1
treasurer, he cooIly replied that
if 1t was stolen it could not hurt
him, as his bond had expired.
At a previous robbery, which
occurred Just after the primary
Player reported that he had been
robbed of stock amounting to 1927.
This the board allowed him and
credited the amount, but when an
investigation was made it was
found that he was 1927 short in
stead of 1927. This 5000 Player
paid up.
These facts, together with other
evidences of criminal carelessness,
convinced those in charge of the
case to swear out a warrant TODAY
against Player, which was done
by w III Holloway and placed in
the hands of Constable Bateman
for execution.

From the New York Commercial Adyertiser)
II was one of those cold windy days when
it was painful to walk from one block to

the street on account CT the tearing bitter
wind. The big department store was
crowded. II seemed as if people had herd

body looked pinched and cross, and 1t was

move from aisle to aisle. But one little
woman was down in the erockery depart
ment with a long list of articles in one
hand and a pencil, which she sucked. in
the other, and she seemed to be having n
very good time. A large man, with his
hands thrust into his pockets and surly
expression OF face, was following her. She
walked about from counter to counter
making careful surveys and closely ques-
