The first case taken up was that of
Lillian S. Adams, Administrative OF
Ernest L. Adams, deceased, against
the South Carolina and Georgia Ex-
tension railroad. The plaintiff is the
widow of Ernest L. Adams, who was
employed by the railroad as a flag
man, and who was killed at Catawba
Junction, on Nov. "a, 1900, while as
sisting in cutting out car" The
case was commenced in March, 1901,
and came on for trial in February,
1903: but after the testimony Of the
plaintiff had been heard Judge Dantz-
ler granted a non-suit. This was based
on the fact that the plaintiff had al
legged that the deceased had come to
his DEATH while trying to make What
is known as aThying switch" ana that
such was not the case. The plaintiff
appealed to the supreme court, which
reversed the court below, and granted
new trial. The testimony was very
much the same as in the first case.
The deceased had gotten on the COW
catcher Of the locomotive as point

coupling. AS the result Of a sudden

thrown Off and run over. The plaint-
If charged negligence on the part Of
the railroad. The jury took the case
yesterday afternoon, and this morning
brought in a sealed verdict giving the
plaintiff damages In the sum OF $4,000.
The plaintiff was represented by w.
w. Lewis, Esq, assisted by w. B.
Wilson, ST., and the defendant by
Messrs. G. w. s. Hart and N. w. Har-
din.
The next case was that of Mrs. Isa-
bella Scott ct al. vs.. w. l.. Hill, suit for
accounting and $500 damages. Plaintiffs
claimed that they stored with Hill
some rent cotton in which tenants had
an interest, and told him that they
would hold the cotton for a higher
price. When plaintiffs decided to sell
at 1910 they learned that defendant
had already sold the cotton at cents
and paid himself the amount due him
by the tenants out of their part Of
the proceeds He claimed that the
cotton was being damaged and he
wanted to sell before It had suffered
further deterioration. Plaintiffs claim
ed the difference between the value Of
the cotton at cents and 1910, and
also $500 damages on account Of the
defendants alleged high-handed dis
regard of their rights. The jury re-
tired with the papers at about IL
o'clock. .---E

that Japan needed to take 1t. Addi-
tional motives for both sides were
furnished by consideration Of prestige
and by the bearing Of the Port Arthur
situation on the immense struggle fur
ther north. The talk about whether
all this desperate courage and de-
struction about Port Arthur has been
we'll invested, therefore, seems to us
beside the mark. II the war was to
be at all, Port Arthur was a necessity
to each Of the cOmbatants, and time
was an essential consideration to both,
especially to Japan. 1t being some
thing vital, therefore, to their coun-
try's welfare, Russians and Japanese
alike have fought for the stronghold
in a manner to prove that man still
retains the virtues Of the bulldog. Eff
feminacy, for the great modern ma
tions, is an imaginary bogy. Let a
danger, as vital as has confronted ia
pan, threaten Germany, France. Eng
land, or the United States, and we inn
agine that they also would still be
found capable Of fighting desperately
In the last ditch.

CLOVER, Nov. 22.-It will be remem-
bered that there was considerable
speculation as to what was the best
course to pursue. by the victims OF
the hail storm which visited this sec
tion last June; whether 1t would pay
best. to plow UP the cotton and re-
plant, plant some other crop, or culti-
vate the portion left-bare stalks. The
majority, II not ALL. pursued the lat
ter plan. OF course 1t will never be
known what would have been best,
but 1t is certain now that all were
heavy losers by reason Of the storm
as the following results show: Mr.. A.
B. Currence had two croppers, one In
the storm belt and the other outside,
both, working one-horse crops within
a half mile Of each other. The one
damaged by hail gathered two bales
of cotton, and he is through, while the
other has had thirteen ginned and
will have another. Mr.. Robert Turner,
on his one horse crop in the storm
strip, harvested 200 pounds OF seed
cotton; Mr.. Joe Matthews made prac-
tically nothing, while j. Meek Smith
has gathered about three bales where
he should have had eight or ten.
Mr.. 8. M. Faires has recently COM
menced to operate corn mill here.
The motive power Is an eight-horse
gasolene engine. The mill Is a great
convenience to the public and 1t is to
be hoped will prove profitable to Its
owner.
The present town charter will ex-
pire by Limitation during the next two
years. An election has been ordered
to be held on next Saturday, the 26th,
for the purpose of deciding whether
or not the town shall at once be char
tered under the general incorporation
act applying to towns Of from l,O00 TO
5000 population, or wait until the old
charter expires.

SOUTH Carolina Is all right on the
divorce question we think. There are
cases where divorce Is justifiable and
for the best interest Of all concerned
We would not be understood as hold
ing otherwise. But divorce laws are
always abused, and the South Carolina
plan is the best. But we should have
a record of marriages, births and
deaths. This is necessary for the best
interest Of society generally, and the
absence of official records of this char
acter frequently furnishes serious en-
barrassment to individuals. Such rec
ords could be kept in the probate
court without considerable expense
The matter has been pending before
the general assembly for good many
years past and 1t is about time for
this body to give the subject serious
consideration.

THE eleven years experience that
the state of South Carolina has had
in the liquor business has failed to
demonstrate even the slightest need
for the central establishment in Co
lumbia. 1t is a fact, as Senator Till
man intimated in Gaffney recently
that the state dispensary buys its sup
plies from numerous wholesalers whose
separate businesses are smaller than
that conducted by the state Of South
Carolina, and It is unable to buy
whiskies any cheaper than county
could buy them. The
central institution is maintained at
large expense and that expense Is
clearly unnecessary. There would be
no advantage in the state central in
stitution even If it were maintained
entirely without expense-that is If
all it's employees would serve without
pay. The county dispensaries could
transact the business just as readily
with the houses that supply the CEN
trail institution. This is a case where
the middleman is absolutely unneces-
sary, and can be knocked out to
great advantage to the state at large.

THE claim that prohibition cannot
be enforced has been repeated until 1t
has become nauseating. That 1t has
not been very we'll enforced In this
state we will admit; but at the same
time we submit that prohibition laws
were enforced about as we'll as have
been the dispensary laws, and that Is
not all. If it is a fact that prohibition
has not been enforced, is 1t the fault
of the law or Of the people? Prohibi-
tion is enforced up in North Carolina
all right. It is a difficult matter to buy
whisky in Gastonia for instance, and
it Is the same in all the dry towns or
the state. This goes to prove that the
trouble is with tn, people rather than
with the law.

REFORM OF THE DlSPENsARY.
State Central institution Should be
AhoIished

State Central Institution Should be
Abolished.
The dispensary should be abolished.
1t has a record Of IL years Of failure.
Its history Is offensive. It's purchas-
ing and distributing methods are
cumbersome. Its expenses are high.
Its profits are small. It's political in
fiuence is deleterious. Its moral in
fiuence is damaging and destructive.
1t has just one good feature-the
manner of selling. This promotes tenn
perance because 1t removes the temp
tation to drink and bars convivial
drinking. 1t does not sell at night.
These features should and can be pre-
served. In fact, they cannot be dis
turbed because established by the
constitution.
The state should get out of the
whisky business. 1t should license
the right to sell whisky, where the
counties want 1t, to private parties
under heavy bond and high license.
They should be required to dispense
whisky just as the dispensaries do, in
sealed vessels containing not less than
half pint, not 10 be drunk or opened
on the premises where sold and not
to be sold between sunset and sunrise.
The state could then withdraw its
capital from the wholesale liquor busi-
ness. It could remove the dispensary
influence from politics. 1t could re-
duce the consta bulary force because
those who paid for licenses would CO.
operate with the local authorities in
preventing the Illicit sale Of whisky in
competition with themselves.
Give every county the right to de-
termine by vote whether its people
want whisky sold at all.
This plan would preserve every good
feature of the dispensary and would
abolish every bad feature except the
sale of whisky itself and even this
could be abolished by any county that
objected to 1t. This is practical COM
mon sense and local self-govern-
ment.-Spartanburg Journal.
