LaWlesSnes at Mccormick.

GREENWOOD, January 25.-News reach
ed here to-day of what came near being a
serious riot and bloody fight at Nc
Cormick, on the Charleston and Western
Carolina Railroad. The affair sounds
like the days of the fights in border towns
out West. 1t appears that some time
during the day, Saturday, a party of
young men from the country, prominent
among whom was Robt. Dorm, were dis
turbing the peace in the town of McCor-
mick. Dorm was arrested and later re-
leased under ten-dollar bond to appear
before the intendant of the town. Dorm
went away and few hours later returned
with a party of friends, looking for
trouble. These young men proceeded
to raise a rough house in Mccormick
without much prelude.
They shot into windows and disturbed
the silence and serenity of the otherwise
quiet little town not little bit. A body
of citizens assembled themselves into a
posse and started to arrest the diSt1rbers.
When the two parties came in conflict
George Talbert, leader of the young
men, drew his gun and started to plug
the leader of the posse. This he did not
do, his gun only swapping. The leader
of the posse at once fired and wounded
Talbert in the arm. The sight of blood
dismayed the disturbers and they dis
persed. Tslbert and young Robert Dorm
were arrested, the others escaping.
Young Dorm was brought through here
to-day by two corstables, who were car
rying him to Abbeville to lodge him in
the county Jail.
They said they had been threatened by
Dorn's friends and expected that an at
tempt to release Dorm would have been
made at Troy, but they were on the train
and the attempt was not made. Dorm was
roped and tied like desperate criminal,
although either of his two .constables was
a better man physically.

Wealth in Old Vermont,

People in the Government service and in

He Sought Legal Advice

Astor is a lawyer who lives Engsle-
wood, the Chicago Tribune. He
was walking from his house to the
suburban train, when the butcher on the
corner opposite the station, called to him.
Astor had bought his meat from that
butcher for twenty years.
"Mr Astor," asked the butcher, "what
can I do if a dog runs into the shop and
carries off roast of beef worth $2?"
"Do you know whose dog it is?" asked
the lawyer.
ooh, yes,' the butcher answered. 81
know who owns the dog all right"
"Then all you've got to do is to send
the owner bill for the stolen meat. You
can collect it without any doubt"
Then Mr.. Astor started to hurry for
his train.
"Mr. Astor," the butcher called after
him-"Mr. Astor, that was your dog. I'll
send you the bill this afternoon"
Next morning the bill came to Mr..
Astor's office. But the buther had un-
fortunately forgotten that his victim was
lawyer.
By the next mail he got his answer.
With it came bill for so for legal advice
in the matter of a "thieving dog" leaving
balance of So due Mr.. Astor. And
now the butcher is wondering what he
had better do about it.

Col. Croft is Here.

Col. Croft, leading counsel for Jas. h:
Tillman, is in the city, and it is supposed
that he is here in reference to applying
for bail for the prisoner. Whatever may
be his intentions, he is keeping them to
himself, and so are the other attorneys.
One of them stated this morning that no
general consultation had been held, and
that it had not even been decided that
any bail would be applied for. He did
not mean to intimate, perhaps, that such
a course would be pursued, though there
has been rumor current that such might
be the case. But, as stated, the attorneys
are doing no talking. Whenever the ap-
plication is made, the solicitor will have
to be given four days notice. The apph-
cation will have to be made to the judge
presiding in the circuit, who happens this
time to be Judge Klugh, or it may be
made to the supreme court.-Columbia

ALI Making Money.

81 have been spending week down at
my home in South Carolina" said Sena,
tor John L. McLaurin, of that State, last
evening at the Raleigh.
II am glad to be able to report the
general condition as very prosperous:
South Carolina is chiefly an agricultural
State and cotton is, of course, the great
crop to-day, just as it was in the ante
beiium times, when the planters pro-
duced it with slave labor, But cotton is
cultivated now under labor incomparably
better than it was prior to the war. Be-
sides, We have now what never would
have been possible had the old regime
lasted-the factories for working up the
raw material.
$50 at present we have prosperous
agricultural community and an industrial
DEVELOPMENT that is wonderful and which
gives South Carolina rank second only
to Massachusetts as manufacturer of
cotton Our farmers are getting a good
price this season and every mill in the
State, I believe, is making money!

Fits the Description.

"Gentlemen shouts the impassioned
orator at the convention, Il take pride in
presenting for the nomination the peer
less son of Pike county, the man of des-
tiny, the fearless leader, the Hon. Silas
Trimmer, better known, perhaps, to man,
woman and child in our fair State, as
the man on horseback
There was considerable cheering when
the speaker sat down, but small man
climbed on one Of the rear seats, and as
soon as quiet was restored, shouted:
you bet he's known as the man on
horseback He's the worst straddler
that's ever been in politics in this State. "
After that it was easy money for the
dark horse.

Good Service.

Many good stories have from time to
time been told of the Rev. Thomas Hunt
the temperance orator, who was we'll
known figure in the early history Of the
Wyoming Valley.
During the Civil Var he enlisted, and
served as chaplain in one of the regiments
of infantry raised in the valley. One day
in the midst Of a fierce battle a major
rode up in front of the regiment, and to
his amazement found Father Hunt at the
head of the ranks.
"Chaplain, what are you doing here?'
lie asked,
"Doiugf' echoed the old minister,
briskly. I'm trying to cheer the hearts
of the brave and look out for the heels
Of the cOwards."
And ii was SO evident that he was per-
forming both parts of this seit-appointed
task that the major asked no more ques-
tions, but left him to his work.

Caught in the Act.

A woman suspected that her husband
was in the habit of kissing the servant
girl and resolved to detect him in the act
On Saturday night she saw him pass
quietly into the kitchen. The servant
girl was out and the kitchen was dark
The jealous wife took few matches in
her hand and, hastily placing a shawl
over her head, as the girl often did,
entered the back door, and Immediately
she was seized and kissed and embraced
in an ardent manner With heart almost
bursting the wife prepared to administer
a terrible rebuke to the faithless spouse,
and, tearing herself away from his fond
embrace, she struck match and stood
face to face with-the gardener.

Convicted bv His Own Act.

A provincial mayor tells good story at
his own expense. 1t seems that when in
office he-would sometimes return home
late at night, after his wife had retired
and when she would ask him what time
it was, would answer, About 12," or "A
little after midnight"
On one occasion, after making the in
quiry, she said:
"Alfred, wish you would stop that
clock; l cannot sleep for its noise.
All unsuspicious, he stopped the pen
dulum. In the morning while dressing,
his wife inquired artlessly. - -
"Oh, by the way, what time did you get
home"
"About midnight" replied the mayor.
"Alfred look at that clock"

legislative D0ings.

A little interest was taken in the house
of representatives last Saturday over
bill, introduced by a Mr. Holman, of
Aiken, to permit county dispensers to
be elected by the people Some spicy
debate was had, but the bill was killed by
a vote of 7S to a.
A bill has been introduced amending
the law regarding chicken fights. The
law now prohibits fights within three
miles of a school, and the bill provided
that they should also be unlawful within
three miles of church. An amendment
was added, making chicken fighting un-
lawful anywhere in the State, and the
bill passed second reading. 1t will likely
become law.
A bill has passed second reading in the
house requiring that no person shall be
elected county superintendent of educa-
ton unless such person shall have GER
fcate of qualification to teach in the free
nuhlic schools of the State
Numbers Of new bills have been intro
duced, among the most important being "a
bill to provide additional penalty for
carrying concealed weapons to submit to
the voters in 1904 the question of tax on
dogs; to prohibit the appointment of
other than freeholders as trustees of COM
mon schools; to extend the time for pay
ment of taxes to March lst, 1908.
The house has passed a bill providing
that all conEicts sentenced to a term of
ten years at hard labor shall serve the
time on the county chain gangs. The
limit is now five years.
A bill to prevent the sale of dynamite
for the purpose of killing fish has passed
the house.
A bill has been offered in the house

a bill to regulate the traffic in seed cotton.
An unfayorable report has been made
on the bill TO extend the time for pay

GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of 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
tof 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, sleepless, and debili-
tated.

That fellow who offered a bill IN the
Senate requiring the railroads to trans
port all State and county officers free
must be rare specimen of humanity.
That such an one should be elected Sena-
tor is surprising. His measure was sum-
marily disposed of, however.

While some foolish bills haye been
offered in the legislature, some important
measures have been introduced, which
the general assembly will do we'll to enact
into laws. 1t is to be hoped our legisla-
tors will devise some means for the en-
forcement of the laws enacted as we'll as
many of those now on the statute books.

Mr.. T. Y. Williams, of Lancaster, who
made the race for speaker, in the house
of representatives, last Saturday made an
attack on the State dispensary system.
He said he had always favored the law,
but he has reliable information that the
State dispensary authorities are using the
county ,dispensary officials as the means
for distributing liquor for use in elections.
Mr. Williams spoke in no uncerain terms
of this matter, and we can now see why
he was not elected speaker. He appar-
entity is out of sympathy with the domi-
nant element, and this no doubt accounts
for his defeat. His charge, however, is a
serious one, and should be Investigated.

President Roosevelt is making lot OF

ideas about social equality. A meeting was
held in Washington this week under the
auspices of the Afro-American Council, q

named Hayes, lawyer of Richmond, Va,
made most iacendiary speech. The meet
ing is thought to be the direct result OF
Roosevelt's recent outbreaks on the negro
question, and if the Southern negroes
follow the advice given them by Hayes
there will be lots of serious trouble. He
advised the negroes in the South to resort
to the sword and the torch to right their
wrongs, and made the significant state
ment that no two races speaking the same
tongue and having the same religion had
ever been kept apart. This will never be-
saeome reality in the South or anywhere
