Not ~Risinger's?

We note in The Herald that Irving
Rtsinger, a member OF the jury which
tried j. 81. Tillman and assisted him in
GLIDING the law, denies the authorship
OF a letter recently published in Spar
tanburg papers and reprinted, with
comments, in THE ADVERTISER. Ri
singers denial may be taken as true
and THE ADVERTISER withdraws any
and all references to Risinger.
Meanwhile the letter was an sccu-
rate response to the only real defence
set up in the trial by Tiilman. The let
ter distinctly defended, not q MUIR
derer, but murder itself, when done to
avenge attacks by a newspaper. The
defence itself bottomed its case on the
plan, naked, staring proposition that
what the law of South Carolina defines
to be murder is no crime-uuder GER
tain conditions. Whether or not
Risinger wrote the letter 1t was as
strong, clear and logicala statement of
the attitude If the jury as could
have been made. 1t Is the larg-
est conceivable charity to the jury
to admit that the reasoning of the
alleged Risinger letter correctly
voiced the jury's view. Any other pos
s'ble theory would infinitely more dis
credit the jury's intelligence on the
one hand or its integrity on the other.
If the jury accepted the se!f-detenco
theory it accepted more than was sue
cessfully offered in even assumed Sc
robustness.

Another Side.

Why does not the dispensary law per-
init the establishment of dlspensaries
Ia country dIstricts-outside Of the
towns? Why not have q dispeusary In
Jacks or Youngs township? Simply
because the conditions are not suita-
BILE. a dispensary in the country,
where there is no police, would soon
become q center Of disorder and de-
moralization. The country people
would not submit to having it in their
neighborhoods. Therefore the law re-
cognizes the hard facts of the situation
and does not attempt to force dispen-
saries where they are not wanted, so
far as the country ~is-coccerned.
Now for other and totally different
reasons dispensaries are as little suited
to city communities as to country COM
munities. Why should the law fail to
recognize it? You who live ten miles
from a railway know that IL whiskey
shop were located among you, it would
demoralize your negro labor and you
know that all sorts of trouble would re-
suit. To you liquor shops would be q
a nuisance. The law gratiles your
preferences in the matter. 1t adapts
the system to your wishes. II it did
not you would probably disregard it.
IL a liquor shop should be established
at Pleasant Mound or Tip Top or Ssr-
dis Church, the chances are that the
people would tear it down before they
would permit it to ruin the community.
The conditions in Charleston are
quite as different from the conditions
in this town as those Of this town +
from those Of a country post Office. City
life is one thing, city habit one thing
and village and country life add habit
are other things. Why should we ar
rogate to ourselves tn say what the
people of Charleston must have in the
way of liquor shop? They don't like
the dispensarles and they violate the
law, which is wrong, but the chances
are that the critics of Charleston peo-
pie would violate the law if it were
rammed down their throats, no mater
how unsuited to their conditions and
habits of life.

GRANITE CONFLICT.

Bennington March 25.-The contract
for large order of Vermont gran
lite to be used by the State of Pennsyl-
vania in the erection or the new State
capitol at Harrisburg, has been award
ed to the Woodbury. Granite Co., of
Hardwick, of which company John S.
Holden of this place is president.
The granite is to come from the COM
pany's quarries in Woodbury. and they
have from three to five years to fill
the order.
1t is said to be the largest granite
contract ever secured in Vermont. 1t
is expected that much more than the
original order will be needed to COM
plete the work. Mr.. Holden, George
II. Bickford of Hardwick, manager of
the company, and @, w. Leonard of
Boston. another director have gone 10
New York to sign the contract and
put up the $500, 600 bond required.

THE DRUGGISTS RIGHTS.

Among the questions that are
troubling Vermont license boards in
their Interpretation of the new law is
whether licenses of any other than the
fifth class can be granted to druggists.
In other cities, as we'll as Montpelier,
very few of the druggists have applied
for the regular druggists license but
quite number have asked for Ii
cense of the second class, which pro-
vides for selling all kinds of liquors
not to be drunk on the premises. In
Burlington this question has become
quite AN issue. City Attorney r. E.
Brown of Burlington is quoted as Civ
ing the opinion that such licenses can
be granted if the commissioners
choose.
On the other hand Senator @. j.
Russell of Burlington, who had
much to do with framing the present
law, holds that druggists can secure
only the regular druggists license.
There are several instances where
Montpelier druggists have applied for
a second class license, but the question
has not been discussed by the license
board. Chairman W. Dewey saidTues-
day that he had given some thought
to the matter, but could not find any
thing in the law that might be con-
strued SO as to bar druggists from
holding any kind of license they
might be able to secure. He said
the intent of the trainers of the law
might have been different, but that
no such restriction appeared in the law
as it is.

A Woman's Wealth.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, seepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
Mgor, activity, and robustness to Paine's
Celery Compound Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Mimi, tells how she was snatched from
the grave; she says:--

IN THE RIVER.

Dexter Moody, we'll known as a
former baggage master on the Central
Vermont between this city and the
junction is believed to be drowned in
the river opposite Lower State street.
He left his home on Bailey avenue
about IL, 30 Wednesday and has not
been seen since. 1t is known that he
starred for the river to dump two
empty ash barrels These he had on
wheelbarrow and tracks believed
to be his have been found leading to
the river bank just below the residence
of 7. II. Gordon. His cap was found
lodged in some bushes few rods down
the river. A barrel, thought to be
one that he started from home with,
was found on the bank, but the wheel
barrow and other barrel are missing.
Mrs. Moody became somewhat
alarmed at her husband S non appear
ance at dinner and later in the after
noon gave the alarm. A large crowd
gathered at the place and Mayor
Cory is in charge of the searching
party A search of the river in that
vicinity reveals no trace Of the
wheelbarrow.
Mr.. Moody was about seventy years
old and was one of the largest men
physically in this section of the State.
He has been in poor health for some
time. No explanation of how the
supposed accident happened can be
given at this time.
