In recent issue Of the Rock Hill
Journal mention was made of the fact
that a squad of negro gamblers had
paid fines Of nearly $50 into the city
treasury, with 90 days work on the
streets as a result Of raid made by
the police. In commenting on the
action Of the council The Journal sa VS.
we are glad the police caught them
and that the mayor laid 1t on heavy..n
But what about gambling in high
Places" We hear it whispered that
the little negroes and bad white boys
who are occasionally bagged down In.
the : Black jacksn are not the only: SIN
ners. Let the officers hunt for bigger
game, and the mayor will have the op-
portunity of paying or the city debt.
This thing IT clubbing the negroes
and few trifling white people into in-
Sensibility because their evil natures
led them into wrong paths and letting
pig scrapegraces go scott free Is not
fair. Arrest some of the "big fish,
you hear so much talk about, and let's
nave genuine sensation, and q. heap
or it,. We are making no charges
against the administration or the
police. IL is the same every where.
The poor and friendless have to toe
the mark" while some others do about
as they please. In Justification Of In
action, no one need come back at us
for the proof or f,r names. We are
not detective. But III the admins
tratlon Is sincere, evidence can be got
ten and the city authorities will not
have to hunt for to get It. There are
other places besides Rock Hill that
the comments of The Journal fits.

Ate Any Old Thing.

At Kalamazoo, Mich, six pounds of
nails, screws, lead, iron, cartridge
shells and other foreign substances
were taken from the stomach of Fred
Cerrow, a Michigan asylum patient,
at post mortem examination. For
years Cerrow had walked about swal-
lowing metal, Jumps Of coal, small
stones and brick dust with great
ayidity. The stomach contained the
following articles: One twenty penny
spike, 4 inches long; % ten penny
nails; 70 eight penny nails; % shingle
nails, bent nails Of various assorted
sizes, 20 pieces of wire, iron washer,
1t inches in diameter; 4 suspender
clasps; II assorted buttons; 126 small
stones; II pieces of tin, screws, up
per halves Of 3 twenty penny spikes,
three 80 caliber cartridges and % pins.
Many Of the larger nails were partial
ly destroyed by the acids Of the stom-
ach. One large i inch nail, which
pierced the stomach, is believed to
have caused an abscess on his liver,
which resulted in death.

of. He went back into recent pnliti.
cal history and told OF the conditions,
which lie considered So grave that 1t
was necessary to organize q farmers
movement so that men who paid the ex-
penses OF the State should operate It,
and then he turned to his experiences,
political and otherwise, with the peo-
pie Of Charleston.
Expressing great love and admira-
tiOn for the town, he said 1t was neces-
sary for the younger element to pull
together to regain the commerce
which l.; now going to other ports.
He took off the gloves in speaking OF
the selfwhorship Of The city and de-
clared that If Charleston ever nd
vanccd it would be through the effort
OF the men with whom he was dining
Friday night. Touching on the Crum
appointment he said that it had been
made, that the negro was put into
one Of The most Important Federal
Offices ond that it was best to keep
harping on the matter aud wait until
the next session of the. Senate, when
every power would be used to have
him rejected.

Quick Justice.

Cable dispatches told not long ago
how the Ameer Of Afghanistan by a
stroke Of his pm cut down the harcms
or his subjects to four wives each. He
has been administering some very
swift justice, too. Not long ago a
meat-seller in Kabul abused another
man and taunted him about his re-
ligion. The offender was brought be-
fore the ameer who straightway SEN
fenced him to be blown from the
mouth OF Il cannon, which was done as
soon rs nearby cannon could be load
ed. The same day four wcll-known
robbers were brought before him. He
had them put into iron cages and
hung up In four prominent thorough
fares rs IL warming and at last account
thcy-or what is left Of them were
still there.

"A Marvellous Child.

The London Daily News tells about
the most precocious child that ever
lived. His name was Christian
llcincckcr and he was born at Lubbock,
lS2 years ago. at the age Of ten
months he could repeat any word that
was said to him; when twelve months
Old he knew by heart the principa |
events narrated in the Pentateuch,
and in his second year he learned to
repeat the greater part or the Old an d
Ne" Iestamcnts. In his third year
nc seems to have known rather more
history and geography than an average
cabinet minister and before he was
four he was we'll read in church history
and theology. 1t was at this tender
age that Christian went to the Court
OF Denmark, where he was hailed as a
wonder. On his return home writing
lessons commenced, but this ordeal
was too much for him and at the age
OF four and Il half years he died.

Record Of Births ana Dcntbs.

The State says the governor has
received Il persanal letter from cX-
Governor Merriam, director of the
census, in which 1t is urged that
South Carolina should aid the nation
al government in the endeavor to keep
correct and complete records Of births
and deaths. The mortality statistics
or the government are Shamefully in
accurate and the census department
in compliance with a recent act Of
congress has written the governors Of
the States to aid in the effort to get
the data kept properly. The State
board Of health has been working on
this line for some time and the local
boards OF health are said to have act
cd in Il very reprchensible manner.
The collection Of these statistics may
be Of great value in the years to come.

Use o1'ln.junctions,

ID. Il. Brady, president Of the Iowa
college, submits TO an Iowa paper two
questions, us follows: !. If a Judge
may enjoin union labor from ordering
strike, why may he not upon uppli-
cation cnjoin capitalists against rcduc-
tlon OF wages, or other acts alleged to
be oppressive to labor? If is good
law Tor United States courts to inter
vcne In behalf Of interstate railroads
why is it not good law for the same
courts to redress gricyan :es Of employ
es engaged in interstate commerce?
The Sioux City Journal in reply to
these questions says that 'the obvious
answer in both queries is that an in
junction in one case would be just as
logical us in the other" And yet we
40 not recall an instance whore a fed
cral Judge has applied the writ of in
Junction in this way to corporations.

gan on James Latimer, a boy OF II

son pistol and opened fire on the
teacher.
The first shot hit Il button on Mr..
llarper's coat and the bullet and but
ton both penetrated the flesh. Then
second shot was fired which struck
a rib inilicting a flesh wound. 1t was
Thought that Harper was mortallyhurt
but the physicians say that his wounds
are not serious. Latimer fled. Young
Latimer Is son Mr.. j. II. Latimer,
4 prominent merchant of Lawdesville

or five boys Of about the same age
