section of the county, the victim being
Paul Brown. a negro, and the murderer

The wife and children Of Andrew

were picking cotton from the bolls

Kenzie left home last spring because
he was jealous of Paul Brown, who
took his place in the house soon after

negro from the fire, and with her chill
dren left the house, alarming the
neighborhood and calling for their as
sistance. Her husband has not been

THE DISTILLER WON
State Dispsnsary Board Decides Aa
Important Case.

Columbia State.
The Antioch Baptist church has lost
out in its vigorous three months fight
before the State board Of dispensary
directors against the jenkins distillery.
But the bone OF contention is to be
removed a quarter Of mile further
from the church, in order to put 1t out
side OF the two-mile limit. Much feel
ing and bitterness have been engen-
dered by the contest and it is like
that the cnu;cn Will renew its fight
against the distiller in the Cherokee
court by bringing specific charges of
violation Of lew against him.
The following resolution adopted
by the board explain the position the
board has taken in the premises:
Resolved. first. That it is the judg-
ment Of this beard that the petitioners
VS.. the Jenkins distillery in Cherokee
county have failed to prove that the
community, in that they have failed
to allege and prove any specific viola
tions of the dispensary law, conse-
Quently we cannot revoke the permit
upon the ground of nuisance.
Second. That after investigating the
books OF the revenue office we find that
Jenkins has no retail liquor dealers
license. but that the entry to that
effect as testified to by Mr.. Culley was
a clerical error. hence that charge does
not constitute a prima facie case
against him.
Third. 1t was made to appear and is
not denied that the distiliery is within
two miles Of a church in contravention
OF the law, and it is ordered: That
unless the said jenkins removes his
distillery beyond the two mile limit
from church or school house as is
provided by law. and within the con-
fines Of Cherokee township in the
county Of Cherokee. by the first day
of February, 1904, his permit to distill
alcoholic liquors shall stand revoked.

Newark has just granted another
perpetual franchise to a private col
poration for q trolley limo in her
streets. There will come n time when
that city will realize its mistake. 1t
is not going to be long before Ameri-
can cities will follow those of Great
Britain in operating all tho public
utilities themselves. When cities in
England and Scotland are furnishing
their citizens with f"ifty-cent gas, two
cent trolley fares and are making a
handsome profit at that, the people
in this country are bound to extend
municipal ownership. The time has
not yet come, it seems, but any city
which, in this day, grants a perpetual
franchise to a corporation is making
a sad mistake.

Bv Wire and Air,

An accidental experiment in the veloc-
ity of sound is %reeounted by a CORE
spondent. He went to his telephone,
and just as he put the receiver to his
ear he heard the click of another tele-
phone. Another receiver had been re-
moved and the line was open. Then he
heard through the telephone the shrek
of a locomotive whistle. and a few sec
onds later the sound came through the
open window in the usual way. Looking
up, he saw a locomotive half a mile
away, passing the house of a friend.
The mystery was solved. The telephone
that was open was that at the distant
house, and the sound OF the whistle had
come through its transformation into an
electric current quicker than it had trav-
eled through the air.-Youth's COmpan-
ion.

with a grim smile, and the engine

the cab, but the track was firm and the
train passed through safely and onto
the bridge. The long slender structure
swayed and creaked and groaned, II
the waters roared beneath, but the net
work of steel held, and the river was
behind them. Beyond the bridge for
half a mile the water obliterated the
track again, but the engineer did not
stop to make inquiries. 1t was death

stopped; sudden if he went ahead and
there was no track, and he chose the
quicker route.

and the engine dashed ahead. The water
poured into the firebox and clouds of
steam enyeloped the men in the cab.
The steam in the boiler went down as
the water rose, but the engine struggled
on as if conscious of the peril, and in
a moment had caught the solid track
again, and with a groan and a SHREK
as of pain, yet of triumph, she dashed
out of the water and to the firm earth
once more.
But she was not making a mile a
minute now. 1t was all she could do
to turn a wheel; but above the food
she gained heat and steam again, and
ten minutes later the train pulled into
little station on the high ground and
the danger had been passed.
White faced and trembling passen-
gers came hurrying from the cars to
the engine with all kinds of praise and
congratulations and purses, but Moore
and his fireman were quite calm. They
were as badly shaken up as any pas
senger they pulled, worse perhaps, but
they were not showing it to the public.
and in another ten minutes the train
was running on to Bridgeport as if moth
ing had happened.

when things were moving smoothly.
