the past we had to teal with the
problem purely as u political and

betterment. As soon as they ac.
quire property and education they
cease to be regarded as danger
to the body polite, and their poll
ltlcal and social status will be ad-
justed in a natural way.

On the Death of Cadet j. O.
Giles.

On Wednesday morning Jauua-
ry 21st, Cadet j. .. Giles, the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. f. z. Giles
of Lancaster county, and a stu-
dent at the Welsh Neck High
School, at Hartsvllle, S. c., was
stricken with a serious attack of
pneumonia. From the first, he
was alarmingly i'll and very little
hopes OF recovery were entertain
ed. Despite every attention that
kind friends, careful nursing and
.skilful physicians could do, he lin !,
gered but u short while after the
arrival of his parents, who were
Immediately summoned to his bed
side. He breathed his last on
Sunday morning at 6 o'clock.
His remains, accompanied by his
grief stricken parents, were taken
to Rock Hill to be laid away in
the family burial ground. Before
removal, the entire battalion of
Cadets was lined up to pay their
last tribute of respect to their
wol thy comrade SO suddenly called
away. The body was borne to
the hearse by six of the cadets,
the salute was given, and the bu-
gle sounded "taps'' as the sad
cortege passed out of sight.
Cadet Giles entered the Welsh
Neck High School last September
an utter stranger, but his gentle
manly bearing, his inobtrusive
manner, and his high sense of
duty, very soon endeared him to
many fellow students and friends
who now mourn his loss. Never
was he known to shirk any duty,
nor was he absent from the class
room save in case of sickness.
He found much pleasure in ut :
tending his church services, also
in the 7. M. G. A. meetings
which are held in the school from
week to week. Conscientious and
true to the trust which was left
him, he discharged every duty in
a manly way, and to those whom
he leaves behind it Is passing that
a life with SO much promise
should tie thus early cut off. We
miss him greatly, but we shall
not linger Ger the word "Good
night" for in some brighter
cline, we hope to bid him "Good-
morning "

The State, 30th, ult.
Last Saturday there was con-
siderable discussion In the house
over bill to permi. county dis
penscrs to be elected as other
county officials are chosen. The
discussion took wide range and
oae or two members directed
their remarks at the apparent
paternaiism of the present sys,
tenn, and urged the decentraliza-
tion Of power.
The report of Mr.. T. Y. Viii
liams' remarks as published in
The State contained the follow
ing.
"He charged on good authority
that the State dlspensary authori-
ties have been sending liquor
throughout the State to influence
elections and this liquor has been
sent through the county boards
who were appointed by the State
board"
This was natural construc-
tion placed on Mr.. Williams re-
marks by great many who
heard them. Yesterday, arising
to point of personal privilege,
he declared that he had not laid
this charge at the door of the
State dlspensarY, but he would
not withdraw his remarks that
liquor had been so used. BY
whom sent, he did not know, Mr..
Williams said yesterday:
