Representative b. a. Morgan, of
Greenville county, has given close
study to the whiskey problem and
he is probably one of the best in
formed men in the State on the sub
ject. In an interview lie had some
interesting things to say, and the
mooted question, "After the dispen-
sary-what ?" was commented on at
some length.

Morgan. "Ordinarily on questions

Most Sacrilegious, if True.

y dispatch from Richmond, Va,
says: The authorities are said to be
looking for evidence which will lead
to the arrest OF young men who com
mitted sacrilegc in st. Luke's
Episcopal church, in Lancaster
county. 1t is said that the party of
prominent society men, accompanied
by young woman, went into the
edifice and held mock communion
service. Crackers and whiskey were
used instead of bread and wine.
After this sacrilegious service the
roysterers smashed the table upon
which the feast was spread. The
young woman was then baptized in
the sacred font, which was also
smashed. The woman is said to
have since committed suicide in a
Baltimore hotel.

although those behind the reorgani.
zation scheme appear to be hopeful.
One of the greatest obstacles in the
way is said to be the fact that in a
number of instances cotton, on which
receipts had been cashed, had after.
wards been disposed of, leaving those
who advanced money absolutely
without protection. Many have
been looking for criminal prosecu-
tions to follow these transactions, but
the losers have been led to believe
that they would finally get their
money, and as they are more deeply
interested in getting out whole or
partially whole than in seeing any.
body oced behind the bars, the
matte las been allowed to rcnlain.
The 81, is going the rounds in this
connection that u member of n big
Baltimore whiskey house, who was
mentioned in the dispcnsary investi-
eating commissions sessions last
summer as having attempted to bribe
former commissioner with n large
annual sum, was caught tor some
$4,000 in n transaction of this kind.
This whiskcy man is also interested
in another whiskcy concern with
which the State dispcnsary has had
large dealings, amounting to about
SI,O00,Cn0 a year recently, so ne is
hardly in position to whine about his
South Carolina experiences.
a striking feature of this Union
affair is the fact that Mr.. Duncan
emergcs through the debt, is smiling
and scIf-contained. \ few weeks
before the first general crash came he
was in Columbia, mentioning the
fact to laugh at it, that all sorts of
wild rumors had been ailoat about
him, including one to the effect that
he had lost his mind. He admitted
then having lost much money, but
did not seem to doubt he would pull
out by means of a scheme he was
trying to perfect to bond all of the
properties he was interested in for
about S3,000,0O0. And people who
have seen him within the last week
speak of how buoyant he seems.

More Sensations at Union.

Columbia, November 1.-THE ar
nouncement from Union that the dl-
rectors of the Union and Buffalo
cotton mills have cut off tie pay, as
director, Of former President Il. G..
Duncan, have offered n 800 re-
ward for two ledgcrs recently disap-
pearing and have demanded that he
remove the offices of the other con-
Germs he is interested in from the cot
ton mill office, and have closed out
future contracts for cotton, which
Mr.. Duncan made at prices far above
tho market, for seven years sup
ply, is, of course, sensational, and 1T
is causing much talk, but the infor-
nation does not cause any general
surprise, as bank men and others
throughout the State have been look
ing for sensations to come out OF
Union for over a year. And yet
other and bigger sensations are ex-
pectcd for the immediate future.
The Union situation is more collos-
sal mess than that which has de-
veoped three suicides from the Dar-
lington failure, and nothing which
usually follows in the wake of wild
cat BUSINESS methods and reckless
speculation on the capital Of other
people is altogether unlocked for III
the case OF Union. These two bust
ness catastrophcs have caused untold
damage to the industrial progress of
the State, not to mention the suffer
ing that has come to hundreds OF
families. These two failures and
the Whalcy mills failures at Colum-
bia, and other smaller affairs, have
wiped out $lO,00O,000 worth OF stock
in South Carolina concerns in the
past few years. True much of this
was held outside of the State, but
even this debt has to be paid in loss
OF confidence, and there were great
quantities of the stock in each of
these enterprises distributed in small
lots among struggling people in this
State.
The present management of the
Union and Buffalo mills has been
making valiant fight for rcorgani-
zation that will save the property
from the damaging effects of bank
ruptcy proceedings, but it has been
uphill work SO far, and the roughest
places have not yet been passed

been introduced, but none of them
went to the root of the thing and
sought to dig it up entirely. Such a
bill was so out Of the ordinary, the
Brice bill not excepted, that it really
seemed to some as foolhardy, and
some newspapers criticised it only so
far as to say that if its author
thought he was making a short cut
to fame he was woefully mistaken.
But if | mistake not, some counties
in which such criticisms were made,
have since administered the DOPE"

that | will amend the bill so as to
make it of force in all counties alike,
in order to conform to the constitu-
ton, and will, therefore, make it in

hibition measure, with provisions al
lowing the people iii the various
counties to vote upon the question
whether liquor shall be sold in such
county under the license or county
dispensary system. If the people
vote against both systems, why the
county remains dry. In other words,
it is local option between prohibition,
high license and county dispensary."

A Bridal Tragedy.

A dispatch from Perquimans, \. c.,
under date of November 10, says: Helen
Hope, who was married on Wednesday
night to Randolph G.. johnson, at that
place, was found dcaG her bridal
chamber yesterday morning with pis-
tol in her hand bullet wound through
her head. johnson was lying across the
bed dead, with three bullets in his head
and body. Johnson had loved Miss
Hope since her early childhood. He was
twenty eight years old and she but seven
teen. After their wedding Wednesday
night large supper and dance followed,
and about midnight the couple drove to
the home the groom had prepared. Their
non-appcarance about the house i'm the
morning caused inquiry, and when the
door of the bridal chamber was broken
open the woman was found lying in a
pooi of blood before her dresser. with a
pistol in her hand and her brains oozing
from the wound in her head Johnson's
wounds were in the left breast, the left
temple and grazing wound on the
cheek. Either of the first two would
have proved fatal. No motive for the
tragedy can be learned.

Twenty bales of cotton on ten acres is
the remarkably large yield reported from
a farm in the Fairview section of Green
vile county. And when it is stated that
this marvelously fine crop was produced

successfully propagated, and soon hun

These are the primo pal lessons which
American army offiC rs have learned

tendency has been to pa! slight atten-

veloped ffrearm made, hand-to-fand

ment had. in fact become so sure of this
that in the new army rifles, of which the
issue had just begun to the soldiers the
regular bayonet had been superseded by
an implement that was no more than q
ramrod. This was intended to relieve
the weight Of the rife. as 1t was believed
baTonets could no longer settle the fate
of a battle.
How erroneous this idea was officers
