be sufficiently impressed to give 1t
second thought; but in the case Of
shallower, and more ignorant readers
the effect would be different. BelieV-
ing the editor, not only we'll informed;
but sincere, they are disposed to ac-
cept his statements as true.
For instance, if the legislature had
passed bill to allow counties to vote
out dispensaries, If they so desire, and
that was all there was Of it, we would
agree with the Journal that such a
bill would be perfectly proper. But Is
that what was done? The bill as orig
inally introduced was for the purpose
indicated by the Journal, but as it was
actually passed by the general assem-
blv it's object was to prevent the peo-
pie from voting out dispensaries. The
Journal knows that as well as we do,
as we'll as the members Of the general
assembly who supported the unfriend-
ly amendments, as we'll as the author
of the original bill, and how it can feel
toward itself after deliberately mis-
representing the facts as it does we
cannot very we'll understand.
But our contemporary does not stop
here. 1t would try to make 1t appear,
that it Is the other side and not its
own that is guilty of the deception 1t
so properly holds up to apprehension.
The trick Is not smart, or even origi-
nal. It Is the same old story of the
pursued pickpocket who cries, stop
theft in order to keep honest people
ahead from impeding his flight.
1t is right for people to pay the ex-
pense of enforcing the laws. Nobody
wants to deny that. All good people
are willing and anxious to pay. Their
only concern is about getting the worth
of their money.
This mill tax provision in this
amendment Is ostensibly for the pur-
pose Of enforcing the dispensary law;
but is that the object? The law pre-
scribes, that the tax must be paid
every year forever, even whether the
law Is violated or not. Surely 1t Is
not difficult to see the object of such
a provision. 1t is not a matter Of en-
forcing the law. 1t is merely penalty
on decency.
There is absolutely no need for such
a tax. Every county in the state is
already paying a tax for exactly the
purpose that this tax Is alleged to be
for. Our court expenses are not even
limited to a half mill. We pay what
ever is called for and we pay it with
out grumbling. In the case of this
half mill tax, however, ostensibly
levied for the enforcement Of the
law, we haven't even a right to say
how it shoild be expended, and If il
piles up indefinitely, we can't even
have it suspended until it becomes
necessary.
So far as the benefits" Of the dis
pensary law, referred to by the Jour
nal, there are none. 1t brings nothing
but disgrace, degradation and shame
in which we all have to participate
and since this iniquity is done with the
capital and credit of the whole state
one county is as much entitled to use
the proceeds for self protection as an

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Easter comes the first Sunday in
April this year.
Judge Townsend has granted new
trial in the case Of Allen vs.. Martin.
March has two full moons. One
made its appearance on the first ana
the other is to show up on the 31st.
The trees have begun to bud; but
how this could have happened In view
Of the weather that has been prevail
ing Is difficult to understand.
From such information as 1t has
been practicable to gather, the pros
pect for the wheat crop Is very poor.
The weather has been more unfavor-
able than for several years.
The attention Of the reporter has
been called to the fact that Mr.. ]. A.
Laughridge, whose death was reported
In the last issue Of THE ENQUIRER, was
only SIS years Of age instead Of SO, as
was enormously stated.
. Although the reporter has not heard
anybody attempt to uphold the JUS
tice of the law which provides an ex-
ira tax Of mill against counties that
may see proper to drive dispensaries
from their borders, he has heard
quite a number of large taxpayers ex-
press themselves as perfectly willing
TO pay the extra tax.
With the understanding that Sena-
tor Brice would pay all expenses in
cident to the transcript, Mr.. H. H.
Evans promised to furnish the senator
with a copy Of the Kings Mountain
township distillery petition; but up to
this time the petition has not shown
up Nobody is seriously disappointed,
however, because they have not really
been expecting Mr.. Evans to fulfill the
promise.
There are now about fifty cases on
Calendar 1 Of the court Of common
pleas, ready to be called at the next
term Of that court. All Of these cases
are old, no new ones having been put
on yet. They include cases that were
mot ready" at the recent special ses-
sion. and although 1t Is quite probable
that at least twenty Of them will be
stricken off when called, as many as
| thirty Of them will be for trial. A
number of new cases will be docketed
before the beginning Of the next term
of the court: but there Is not much
probability that any Of them will be
reached during the session.

THEY are worrying themselves in
New York about the disposition to be
made of $4,000 in bank. the property
of a life convict" Down this way
we would lose no sleep over such a
contingency: we would calculate com.
pound interest for three and nan
wears to ascertain how much the con-
yict would have to his credit when
pardoned.-Columbia State.
You certainly must be nodding, con-
temporary. If he had started into the
trial with as much as $4,000, he would
have never been convicted; but with
$50, 900 his acquittal would have come
somewhat higher, unless along with
his money he had a good political pull
and then his expenses would not have
been quite so heavy.

Serious Runaway Accident.

Serious Runaway Accident.
Messrs. Mackorell Bros. lost horse
at Bethany yesterday as the result Of
a runaway accident. The animal be-
came frightened, ran against an OBJ
struction and broke its shoulder. It
had to be killed.
Transferred to Penitentiary.
A negro named John Jenkins SEN
fenced to the chaingang some time
ago for larceny of live stock was
transferred to the penitentiary hospi-
tai yesterday, because Of the loss Of
his eyesight from disease. He was
sent to the penitentiary in charge of
Guard Lindsay. who came up from
Columbia for him.
County Pension List.
The county pension board has COM
pleted its work Of revising the list for
this year and added fifty or sixty
names. The net gain, however. Is very
small. The state board ought to have
its checks ready With, the next sixty
days; but owing to the nature Of the
work and the hardness Of some Of the
county boards, 1t is impossible to fix
the time definitely.
Sentenced to Twenty Years.
John r. Hart, Esq.,, Of Yorkville, has
information that the young man who
killed Frank Stewart Of this place in
Huntsville, Ala, six or eight weeks
ago, has been sentenced to twenty
years in the penitentiary. The muir
der was committed in a bar-room. It
seems that the slayer was engaged In
shooting up the place at the time. and
Stewart walked in while the shooting
was in progress. Several others were
seriously hurt; but they have recov-
cred from their injuries.

their stand to the left Of the arch, the

the groom and together they took po-

Letter to ]. @. Wray,
Yorkville, S c,

Dear Sir: Would you rather have
your customers speak Of your shoes as
wearing we'll, as not running down at
the heel, as turning water, and taking
a shine; or wag their heads and say
nothing?
Wed rather have ours, at long In
tervals, say: I'VE want some more
paint, and we want Devoe." We know
it isn't in human nature to paint very
often; we don't expect them to come
very often; don't want 'em to. All we
want is to paint what they have to
paint, whenever they paint 1t; the
longer the time. the surer they are to
come back. There's business enough
in the world; there are houses enough
to paint; let 'em take their time.
If we were a shoemaker, we'd make
shoes to last half a lifetime, and shoe
the whole town. Yours truly

uality and is more dreamy and poeti-
cal. The White Russian Is so called
because he is fond of wearing white
clothes, yet he is not so clean as the
other two divisions of his countrymen.
In old times he was also called white"
because of his freedom from taxa
ton. He is fond of wearing his hair
long and he is subject to disgusting
scalp disease that keeps the lower part
of his unkempt locks matted with
blood.

SEEDS AND SEEDS.

The garden seeds promised by Con-
gresham Finley recently arrived this
morning, and they will be distributed
to his constituents as long as they last.
There were four hundred packages
in the consignment, and applications
were pending for nearly 200 packages.
These have all been sent out or Will
be sent out during today; but that Will
leave quite supply yet on hand.
We would like the public to under
stand that these seeds are absolutely
free to whoever applies. That Is,
there will be no effort at discrimina-
ton. Ladies, who may desire seeds
should have no hesitation in letting
the fact be known by mail or other
wise.
There is no postage to pay. The
postage has been provided for by the
government, and seeds will be sent
promptly to any address in the coun-
ty or state.
It is just as we'll for the public to
know, however that it Is not worth
while to ask for special varieties OF
seeds. The packages are made up In
Washington and they must be sent out
Just as they are or not at all.
AS long as the consignment lasts,
all requests will be filled promptly.

The office of probate Judge Is very
important one: but the pay Is not
nearly in proportion to the duties and
responsibilities. The fees for the past
ten or fifteen years have hardly aver
aged 5000 annually. When the in
cumbent Is able to collect every cent
due. it is possible that he could get
$500 a year, but that Is the limit.
AS small as is the pay Of this office,
very good business ability Is require
of the incumbent, and his responsible
tiles are very heavy. Taken all In all,
the office Of judge Of probate Is one OF
the most important in the whole sys-
tenn Of county government.

some sound Sense for Reaeetion.

Remember that it is worry, not
work that kills. Get your life pur-
posely insured, then you will stop
worrying. Those who are safely in
sured do live longer. for they do not
worry concerning the welfare of their
wives and the little ones. Life insur-
ance gives protection continuously and
instead of being an expense it is in
reality and surely a saving of money.
Even If you are poor or in debt, you
had best not procrastinate, waiting for
a favorable time-it may never come.
Life insurance is the one thing the
sheriff cannot touch and its possess
sion may save many times it's value
to your estate. 1t is better than try
ing to accumulate a competency in a
savings bank, gives equally as good,
frequently better, interest, with the
protection thrown in. 1t secures you
a competency for your own old age.
When you fail to insure your house,
you take all the chances, but when
you fail to insure your life, your wife
and babies take all the risk. Have
you ever had the laws of MaSsachu-
sets explained to you? They throw
more safeguards around policy-hold-
ers than the laws of any other state
in the Union. Let US tell you about
them. Send us your age and address
and we will interest you. Harty &

White stone Lithia Water, the
Great Kidney Restorer.


1t has been proven by many Savan-
nah people who have visited this
spring. and who have drank the water
at home, can testify to the great Gu
rative powers of White Stone Lithia
Water. There is no one, male or fe-
male, who can afford to be without
this valuable cleanser, when it can be
obtained fresh from the spring at a
very small cost. We have published
from time to time many proofs, and
only a few days ago we published
some from some of our best citizens
and doctors. one gentleman in partic-
ular, who could not pass a medical ex-
animation for life insurance, discover
ing that he had diabetes he was rec
feet a cure, which he did, and after a
ten-days' stay he gained ten pounds in
flesh and was re-eXamined and stood
his examination without one trace Of
any kidney disease, being entirely
cured from the use of the White Stone
Lithia water This indeed are strong
facts, and no one should hesitate to use
this great water, although they may
not feel sick, it is very gratifying to
know that you are drinking the purest
and best water that flows.
