GREENWOOD MACHINE
AND SUPPLY GO.
A New Industry Organized by Sub
Stantiai Business Men.

As announced in last weeks Common
wealth, the Greenwood Machine and
Supply Company has been organized,
and will soon be one of the humming
industries Of u progressive city.
The Greenwood Machine and Supply
Company is capitalized with $4,000,
and among it's stockholders are Messrs.
". L. Kinney, r, V. Johnson, B. L. Jones,
Gid Montjoy, DR., ]. Z. Mann, T. r.
Henderson, +. r. McShane, C. +. Wright
and others. The Company will do a
general machine shop business-manu-
featuring, repairing and installing all
kinds OF machinery, electric light fin
lures, etc, and will doubtless receive a
liberal share Of work in that line.
The stockholders are among the best
business mon in the city and county,
and they usually make a success of their
business undertakings.
While we have already a first class
Machine works and foundry, Green
wood and Lefore county are growing
rapidly and there is room for one more. -
The new enterprise has our best
wishes for success.

Error Corrected.

The statement from the Jackson News
to the effect that Maj. II. W. Millsaps
would soon erect a solid block of bus
mess houses on his lots neal the Y. &
Nj. V. depot, published in this paper
last week, was a great big mistake.
The Major says that he will only build
two brick stores at present. However,
it will only be a matter Of a short time
when the other lots will be covered
with substantial buildings.

Mrs. Esther SeIilser Arranging for a
Grand Entertainment.

Mrs. Esther Selliger is making out an
attractive program for a grand enter
tainment, to be given under the auspic-
es OF the Jewish Sunbeam Society for
the benefit Of the Temple in this city.
This entertainment will be given at the
Opera House at some date in the near
future, announcement of which will be
made later. Quite a number of young
ladies' and gentlemen have already con-
sented to take part in this entertain
ment, and the fact that Mrs. Selliger
possesses the rare tact of organizing
and drilling the young people for such
occasions, is a guarantee that the affair
will be n of the most interesting ever
gotten up in Greenwood. The program
when completed will be printed, and we
hope our people will give the entertain
ment a crowded house when :. is pre-
sented.

From a recent interview gwen
the press by Hon. Chas. Scott, Of
Rosedale, it seems that he has about
been persuaded to make the race for
Governor of Mississippi, at the next
State election. Mr.. Scott is an able
lawyer, a polished gentleman and a
brilliant orator. II he does enter
the race his opponents will find him
a formidable and honorable compel
itor, There is no questioning the
fact that, if elected, he would make
an able Governor.

Senator MCLaurin introduced a
bill in the u, S. Senate last Thurs
day to tax liquor dealers twenty-five
hundred dollars instead Of twenty
five dollars; and beer dealers two
thousand dollars instead of twenty
dollars, in localities where the state
forbids the sale of beer or liquors.
Congress cannot prohibit the sale Of
liquors in such localities, for the
reason that it pertains to the police
jurisdiction Of the states; nor can
congress forbid the issuance Of
license at all such localities, and
then punish for not having the
license; but if this bill becomes a
law, the blind tiger will encounter
the United States court as well as
the State court, for he will not pay
this license. = Brandon News.

Christmas was very appropriately
observed in Greenwood. The bus
mess houses were nearly all closed
Monday and most all Of the people
spent the day at home. There was,
of course some drunkenness INDUCED
in-there always is-but we don't
think there was any more than U.s.
ual on such occasions. Some peo-
pie will get drunk when they get a
chance-snd that's all there is to il.

G. o. D. WHISKY NUISANCE.

The G. 0. D. whisky business
transacted by the American Express
Co in Greenwood during the past
several weeks has simply been
enormous, The citizens have been
aroused to a high pitch Of indigna-
ton and two or three meetings
were held TO try to devise some
means OF putting a stop to the
hlgh-handed manner in which this
company has been delivering this
C. Q. d. bust-skull article, but it
seems that nothing could be done
to puta stop to it, The question Of
the company's right to deliver these
c. o. D. packages will soon be pass
ed upon by Judge Niles, Of the
Federal Court This case should
have been tried some weeks ago,
but by agreement was postponed I'M
til after January lst. Many people
are free to express a preference for
open saloons rather than to be in
ficted with the curse Of having the
liquor business carried on by the
American Express Co. in the man
ner that it is now.

n PardOninS Board.
Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Messenger
The News and Observer of yester-
day contained a column editorial in
opposition to what it calls 1.-The quad
rennial board of pardons" in this
State.
Perhaps if those favoring a change
in the law so as to take. this work Off
the Governor would make biennial
campaigns instead of every four years
they might be able to accomplish
their purpose. In fact they ought to
til the law is changed The labOrs of
our Governor in this respect increase
year by year and the latter should be
relieved of them.
If, as theNews and Observer says,
it would be a great mistake to take
this power from the Governor and
place it in the hands of a board, then
good many of the States have made
this so-called mistake and find, in
fact, that they have made no mistake.
The law works well and gives salts
faction wherever it has been tried.
1t, with us, is no question of aiding
the present or any future Governor in
Sinking his duty. We know the
present executive wants no such aid,
nor do we expect the people of North
Carolina ever to celeCt Governor
who VIII. Nor is 1t because we nave
any misgivings as to the ability of the
present or any future Governor, to act
intelligently or of his purpose to de-
eide justly and conscientiously in dis
pensing clemency.
Furthermore, where a board com
posed of three or five men, afer Civ
ing an application for pardon or com
mutation of sentence careful Consid-
Grafton, decides unanimously or by a
majority for or against the applicant
the public as well as the friends OF
the condemned person most naturally
feel better satisfied than if the de-
cision had been made by only one per-
son, no matter how great the latter
ability and reputation for honesty and
conscientiousness may be.
1t is no reflection in any manner on
our Governor to advocate the estab-
lishment of a board of pardons. We
feel sure that Governor Glenn does
not put such construction on The Mes
senger's advocacy of this plan.
