Reflections of n Spinster.
Baltimore American.

The people who get horribly shock
ed at the idea that all women don't
like to do housekeeping think it all
right that every mans inclinations
don't run to streetcleanlDg.
A clever woman will listen to a jolly
lust as if she believed every word.
It's easy to laugh over other peoples
love letters; ones own are sacred docu-
ments.
A man of mark generally shows
marked conceit.
A tactful woman is the one who can
think what an awful fool q man is and
at the same time look at him as if she
adored him.
Somehow a girl always feels unusual
ly kindly towards the man who is In
terested enough in her to remember
inst what flavor she likes in her soda.
water.
The summer hotel piazza is the
favorite resort Of the mosquito and the
latest scandal.
It is suspected that the reason q man
doesn't care to bave a big wedding is
because upon such occasions he finds
out lust how unimportant he is.
The newly married couple who take
the greatest trouble to prevent people
from guessing at their newness are
generally most disappointed when they
succeed in their efforts.
A mans idea of a charitable woman
is the one who sees in his faults only
evidence of a quaint foolishness.
A man is as chary about acknowledg
IT,. kI- 10 no inn cn6o oG
most girls are to having a liking for
onions.
No matter what a girl does with her
fan, there are some men who are sure
that she's trying to firt with him.

Acquitted.

The Greenwood Journal was very properly
acquitted of the charge OF libe! In publishing
recently q statement in reference TO the blind
tiger business.
When juries convict Of crime and acquit
newspapers of imaginary offenses the public
peace Is safe.
The Journal had done nothing for which II
should be robbed through the legal processes
Of the Court.
While we think the %acquittal OF the Green.
wood Journal was proper, yet we think there
are instances where newspapers should be
punished.
Since the ~anti.duelliDg law has gone into
effect too many newspapers have taken ad-
vantage OF the situation 10 publish matters
which should not have appeared in print, aud
which would not have appeared in print, ex-
cept for the anti.duelling law. In the old
South Carolina the aggressor might expect to
be asked to face a pistol at ten PAGES. This
fact preserved decorum in the press, but now
defamatory articles appear without fear O.
punishment. But this will not always be so.
And 1t hould not be so now. The editor who
assails the good name OF another should be
called to account and should be punished for
~ "a saS AtbHNo "a NV eoAAS W.
timent is o In it's transition, and 1t will
not be long until juries will convict for as
Bault upon ones good name as readily as II
the assault had been made upon ones person.
A mans good name should be sacred from
unjust and unprovoked attack. And the ed
itor who is Incompetent to conduct a discus.
sion of any question without making direct
charges against character or resortlug to
oowardly insinustions should be taught a les
son in d~ecency.
The Press and Banner hopes to see the day
when pubic sentiment may warrant the in
jured party in appealing to the Courts for vim
dication. The day Is nearly past for submit.
ting to villainous charges from those who
may be inscriptions. or who and who may
have small regard for the sacrednesso of char
acter. The assailing OF character should be
stopped.

Names of Some Of the EnterprfsfnS
Towns That Have Plank Shut
ters on Their Temples OF
Justice.

We recently had the pleasure Of a call from
a gentleman who has journeyed much about
the State. The subject OF Court House win
dows came up, and we asked him If the habit
Of closing such windows with plank shutters
prevailed to any extent.
He quoted from memory, and we noted the
names OF the counties which he stated that
had plank shutters on the windows Of their
Court Houses.
WATERFORD, he said, closed the down stairs
windows with plank.
Georgetown was another town that boosted
OF plank shutters. We asked him II the
county officers were not afraid that somebody
might steal shutters when left 80 close to the
ground. He replied ooh, no; they are not
worth stealing"
Greenville was asked about. His memory
was not exactly clear. He thought they had
no shutters at all In their Court House win
dows. he thought the holes 10 the walls that
were intended for windows were used as holes
through which the people might spit.
Our caller Thinks Union has planks on the
windows Of an old time fellow.
Walhafla Court House has been recently
remodeled. His memory is not quite clear
bub hO u choltCAo "OA hStSA NSANAo
the transformation.
Edgefield had old time plank on their win.
dows the last time he was in town but he had
no doubt that some enterprlsing gentleman
had made a fire OF them before this time.
Marion and Kingstree have plank shutters
on their Court Houses.
We mention the N above to show that
Abbeville is net the only place on earth where
the windows are closed by plank boards.
Our caller named q number Of OWE that
were building, or had built, elegant new
structures in which to hold court.
Ifany county ever needed q new Court
House, Abbeville is that county. II we do
not wish to be classed with such counties as
Greenville, Union and Edgefeld we had bet.
ter get q move on US. Our Court House
would make a splendid tobacco Ware House.
II the News and Courier succeeds in getting
our people interested in tobacco culture we
could sell our Court House as a store room
for tobacco. The price woul no doubt go a
long way toward building a ~presentable tenn
pie In which to try people for stealing pigs.
or selling cotton seed In off hours.
