of the interior, where presumably foot

Here he came across tribe called
"Paloungs." He observed the women
were decorated with curious coils Of
brass around neck, arms and legs, and
on inquiry found that 1t was canon
OF unwritten law that all the high

was mortified to be an eye witness of

saying, ''an idle brain IS 1n5
devils workshop has been
amply exemplihed by recent
development anent the num-
erous acts of incendiarism
perpetrated in our town. All
of the parties to the diabolical
deeds, 80 far as they have
been apprehended or implica-
ted, were vagrants. Had they
been indicted prior to this un-
derthe vagrancy law the fires,
which were a menace to our
town, to say nothing of the
anxiety and great nervous ten-
sion that has prevailed among
the women and children,
would, probably, never have
occurred.
1t is just as natural tor un-
employed minds to devise
wicked plans which, when
conceived, will be executed
by the idle hands-as tits for
water to flow down hill. A
vagrantis an apt scholar in
the school of vice. Many
evils apparently have no re-
medy but there is remedy
for this particular evil, the
ever present vagrant, which
has sorely afflicted our town
for years and it is up to the
powers that be to apply it..
Peremptory orders should be
issued directing the marshals
to arrest every colored boy or
man which is not regularly
employed, earning his own
support. The council should
clear the deck for action and
wage war to the hilt on
loafers and vagrants.

WILL JUSTICE
BE TIL W.ARTED! !

The law-abiding citizens OF
Sonth Carolina had hoped
that Charleston would rise to
the occasion and punish spec
dily and severely the man
ayers who so fagrantly Vi
olated the election laws in
the last primary, thereby not
only removing the stigma
from the good name of the
commonwealth but checking
this hitherto unknown trans
gression in its incipiency. In
stead of being brought to jus
tice at the first term OF court
these cases have been con-.
tinued. After the lapse OF
months the indignation OF the
people will have abated, pub
| lie sentiment will have relent
ed, both of which will mill
tate against exact justice e be-
ing administered. 1t is likely
that these will result as do
most "continued" cases, in
acquittal.
We are not informed as to
the real cause of the contln
uance. Possibly there was
lust and sufficient ground tor
it. It's not unfrequently the
case, however, that shrewd
and designing lawyers secure
postponement through the
~eriest pretext and thereby
clog the wheels Of justice.
This is the strongest argu-
ment that many use In vlnd1-
cation of mob violence, claim
ling that should the law be al
lowed to take its course jus
tice would be tardily admins
tered, if administered at all.
Thus far the ballot box
"stuffers" have won a VIC
tory, hence great is the pity
that they were not called tc
answer for their wrong doing
i; at the November term OF
court.

When the butter won't

proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why:
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

NO EXTENSION THIS TE.AR

This being a year OF plenty
(?)-good average crops hav
ing been made in all sections
of the state-the governor
and the comptroller general
have announced positively
that no extension of the time
for the payment of taxes will
be granted. That means that
all taxes must be paid by an
uary 1st or the penalty will be
added. This decision is be-
ing generally commended d. all
over the state. which indica-
tes that the legislature will
refuse also to prolong the
time.
There have. been years IN
which our people have had
almost a total failure OF all
crops, followed, too, by very
low prices; with such condl-
tons confronting them indul-
gence in the matter of paying
taxes was imperative. Such
is not the case this year. lr
the main our people are as
able to pay by January 1st as
they would be on March 1st.
Were an extension granted
many who have the money
would spend it during the
Christmas holidays in riotou:

that they could borrow it o
