THE state should get out of the
whisky business and the sale OF liquor
should be carried on, If at all, by pri-
vate parties under heavy license IN
the same manner as the dispensary
sells l.. Let every county have the
privile &c of local option. This would
elimin tie all the scandal and corrup-
ton OF the purchasing board, preserve
the temperance feature by preventing
convivial drinking and promote local
self government by the local option
feature. At the same time the state
would have no investment in the bus
mess and the actual profits would be
greater The licensees would cooper
ate with the local authorities In pre-
venting illicit selling and the cost OF
the constabulary would be less.-Spar-
tanburg Journal.
In view of the foregoing we with
draw our charge against the Journal
Of collusion with the Columbia Record
to garble the Brice interview. If the
foregoing expresses the views of the
Journal, 1t is evident that there was no
significance in it's reproduction Of the

than q pursuance Of its custom to COL

NOTE AND COMM ENT.

Governor Hayward has published his
Thanksgiving proclamation setting
apart November "a, the same day that
had been previously designated by the
president, as day Of thanksgiving and
prayer.
Judge Watts has a high opinion of
York county jurors. He remarked
Thursday night that up to that time
there had not been an improper ver-
dict, and several Of the cases were
we'll calculated to try the discrimina-
tion and manhood Of the jurors. This
was especially true Of the Fort Mill
case in which a negro girl was the
prosecutor Of a white boy, and where
the negro was at least partly to blame
for the trouble.
Mr.. w. n. Stewart, who gathers In
formation for the census department
as to the monthly output Of the cotton
gins in York county, was In YorkVille
Wednesday. He is not allowed to give
out any advance information as to his
reports to the local public or other
wise. He remarked to the reporter,
however, that he felt quite free to say
that in his opinion, the cotton crop OF
York county will not be as large this
year as it was last year.
Very little is heard nova days
about the sale of blind tiger liquor In
Yorkville; but nevertheless it is fact
that blind tiger liquor is still being
sold at least in quantities sufficient to
meet the demand. The tiger trade
fiourishes most on days when the dis
pensary Is closed; but is not confined
to these days. There are dealers who
are able to supply their. customers at
any time, night or day and who do a
fairly good business, especially at
night. Some Of the liquor thus illeg-
ally sold comes from the dispensary;
but a large per cent Of it is brought
from without the state. The idea that
the dispensary monopoly Is complete Is
entirely erroneous.
Rev. p. 3. Ingraham, of Hickory
Grove was in Yorkville yesterday on
business connected with the court, and
In conversation with the reporter
stated that he will not be returned to
Hickory Grove next year. He has
been at Hickory Grove four years now,
the limit, and will have to go else
where. Mr.. Ingraham has found a
warm place for himself in the hearts
Of his people at Hickory Grove and
throughout the entire western York
territory, and there is no doubt wide
spread regret that he cannot continue

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The Christy Bros. Minstrels ap-
pear at the opera house tomorrow
night and the indications are that they
will have a full house.
Mr.. John L. Rainey has been elect
ed a director Of the First National
bank of Yorkville, vice Mr.. F. g. Sta
cy, deceased. Mr.. Rainey Is well
known throughout the county as a
careful, conservative and successful
business man and his acquisition to the
directorate Of the First National bank
will tend to strengthen an already
strong body.
Rev. J. G.. Dale, missionary to Rio
Verde, Mexico preached In the Asso-
ciate Reformed church last wednesday
night. Rev. Mr.. Dale Is trying to raise
the means with which to put the mis-
sion in charge Of himself and wife on
an Independent basis-that :. 10 make
1t independent Of Roman Catholic
bigotry and fanaticism. He has found
difficulty In renting a suitable build
ing. 1t has been his experience that
so soon as he would secure comfort
able location, the opposition would be
able to apply the means necessary to
make him move. He wants $4,000 with
which to build a mission the ultimate
object of which will be to educate ma
tive converts to the ministry. The
congregation was very much impress
ed with what he had to say Wednes-
day night and subscribed $96.69. He
is meeting with satisfactory success
wherever he goes.

Shot at a Corn Shuckinq.

Charlotte Observer, Wednesday,:
Mellon Craig a well-known young
man of CASTOR county, was brought to
the Presbyterian hospital last night
in a dangerous condition. The story,
as we'll as could be gathered, Is that
young Craig attended corn shucking
seven miles from Gastonia Monday
night. While the merriment was 60
ing on, a negro Of the name Of Glenn,
who was full of bad whisky, came in
to the house and began to make
trouble. Young Craig, with others,
quickly put him out of the house. The
negro then drew a revolver and fired
twice through the open door. The
first shot failed to land, but the sec
ond struck Craig in the top Of the
head. He was taken to his home at
once and was brought to the Presby-
terian hospital last night, where the
ball was located by means Of the
x-ray. The bullet penetrated the
skull, and, it is feared, has injured the
brain. An operation was performed
for the removal of the ball, and at a
late hour the wounded man was rest
ing well. Young Craig is well-known
in this city, having been connected
with the Ed. Mellon Co., Gresham's
railway restaurant, and the old Vienna
cafe at different times during his stay
here. He Is a nephew Of Mrs. Ed.
Mellon, and a first cousin of Mr. John
NJ. Craig of this city. He is son OF
Mrs. M. P. Craig, who lives near Gas
tonia. He has many friends In this
city and in CASTOR county who nope
for his early recovery.

MARRIAGE Laws Needed.

South Carolina has long prided her
self on the fact that 1t is easier to get
married and harder to get unmarried in
this state than in any other state of
the union.
This is because there are practically
no restrictions on marriage except in
the matter of miscegenation, and ell
gible people Of marriageable age, may
be married at will by merely declar-
ing their purpose in the presence OF
witnesses, or for that matter without
witnesses, and a couple having once
acknowledged the marriage relation
cannot secure legal separation except
by death.
All this is very simple and 1t has
it's redeeming features; but at the
same time it is not without serious
drawbacks. Where there are no pro-
visions or requirements for written
records, there often develop opp
.unities for a man to deny his wife or
his children, and sometimes children
have difficulty in establishing their
legitimate parentage.
1t /, quite true that Notwithstanding
the absence of marriage laws in South
Carolina, there has developed very
little looseness with regard to the mar
riage relation. Custom has taken care
Of that. In fact custom has been so
we'll directed and we'll established,
that a vast majority Of the people are
ignorant of the fact that there is so
little law on this subject. But never
theless the situation ought to have
proper attention, and the general as
sembly should do something to prevent
possible future confusion.
Governor Hayward revoked the
commission of Notary Bales the other
day because Bales had succeeded in
making himself notorious in bringing
condition that should be regarded as
sacred into popular contempt. Bales
had violated no statute law. There was
no statute law on the subject of mar
riage for him to violate. The revoca-
tion Of his commission as notary pub
lie does not interfere in the least with
his right to perform marriage cere-
monies. He has as much right to do

Fire In Bethel.
The old Oates Moore house about
two miles east Of Bethel church, and
owned and occupied by Mr.. R. p.
Haney was destroyed by fire last
Tuesday night at about o'clock. The
fire is supposed to have had its origin
from a stove fiue, and had made con-
siderable headway before 1t WAS dis
covered. There were no facilities for
fighting the flames but neighbors, In
cluding a number Of negroes, came to
the rescue and saved most Of the fur
niture and other contents OF value.
The Oates Moore house was one or
the oldest in the Bethel country. 1t
was built before the Revolutionary
war, and has been a well-known land
mark ever since.

business of this kind now as he had
before his commission was revoked. A
marriage performed by him now would
be just as binding as one performed
by him last week. His ceremony Is
not different in effect from ceremony
performed by Rev. DR.. Neville, Bishop
Capers, Chief Justice Pope or Govern
or Hayward. This is because there Is
no law on the subject.
If there was a law designating and
authorizing suitable persons-civil
and church off1cials-to perform the
marriage ceremony, and requiring that
record of all marriages be kept In
the office of the probate judge, there
would be less danger of confusion than
there Is now, and there would be but
little inconvenience or embarrassment
as the result Of the change.

Of elections met last Tuesday and, as
required by law, canvassed the returns
from the general state, county and

small vote polled throughout the coun-
ty. The vote for governor, state and

DIDN'T NEED A LAWYER.

Hello, Brice, didn't you advise him
he had better run?'
mo, of course not"
"You were his lawyer, weren't you?''
The first speaker was Mr.. Finley. 1t
was just after John Allen Parrish had
stepped out Of the court house, and
away, while the sheriff and bailiffs
were skurrying in every direction In
the hope Of striking hot trail. Mr.
Brice denied having any knowledge OF
the case and Mr.. John w. McElhaney
backed him up with:
mo, Mr.. Brice wasn't his lawyer. He
didn't need no lawyer. He had just
figured out his own case and did what
he intended to do from the beginning
That's what he did" r..sE
The lawyers have had a good deal
of sport over this case joking each
other with having advised Parrish to
escape but 1t is pretty generally con-
ceded that Mr.. McElhaney had II
about right. Parrish did not need
lawyer.

THE Charleston Post makes a re-
mark to the effect that if the majority
of the voters of South Carolina have
declared themselves in favor Of bien-
NAL sessions of the general assembly
instead of annual sessions there had
better be no monkey business, or the
people might become aroused to the
point where they will consider decen-
nial sessions Of the general assembly
sufficient. However, there is no Sc
rious occasion for alarm. If the bien-
nial sessions amendment has prevail
ed, biennial sessions will be duly in
augurated.

THE socialistic element Of the great
cities constitutes the principal strength
of Bryanism, and while it is capable OF
creating endless discomfort, 1t can new
er hope to control the country. Mr..
Bryan, himself, is an able man and a
pure man, but he Is not strong enough
to control or even guide the discon-

principal support, and that is the rea-
son why he has never been able to gain
