Mayor Yeiser is right about some
of the best saloonkeepers and whole
sale liquor men in Paducah wanting
the license ordinance to remain as II
is, so the mayor can revoke saloon
licenses for a violation of the law.
The reason is that they favor Sun
day closing, apd know that the only
object In the amendment that the
two boards have passed and will
have to pass over the mayors veto
before ii becomes a law, is to permit
Sunday violations. A majority of
both boards have gone on record vir-
tually in favor of allowing the sa-
looms to violate the law. The one
councilman who changes his vote SD
as TO. permit the ordinance to become
law over the mayors veto, how
ever. will have TO have a great deal
of nerve, and he will have to have
still more after he has Topped over,
In order to hereafter look his con-
stituents In the eye.

LAURENS COTTON
MILL CASE HEARD.
Motion to Dissolve Injunction Granted
by Judge Klugh Argued Before Him
at AbbeyiIe---DeCisiOn Reserved.

ABBEvILLE, Dec. 10th. "A hearing on
the motion to dissolve the injunction
granted by Judge Klugh in the case of
o, b. Simmons and others against N.
b. Dial and other stockholders in the
Laurens Cotton Mill, was held before
Judge Klugh to-day and lasted through
out the entire day. The Injunction was
granted upon bill filed about October
28 to enjoin meeting of stockholders
from electing new board of directors
and for the purpose, it was alleged, of
removing the selling agency from Stew
ems & Co., who were selling at 2 per
cent. and giving it back to Deering,
Milliken & Co., who had been selling at
per cent.
A motion made by the defendants be-
fore Judge Memminger at Saluda to
dissolve the injunction was refused for
want of jurisdiction, whereupon the
defendants gave notice of the motion
heard to-day. Messrs. S+nbo Simpson,
N. B. Dial and Albert G. odd, repre-
sented the defendants. Il. P. Cothran,
G. G. Featherstone and w. r. Richey
represented the plaintiffs. The argu-
ments were full and exhaustive, the
defendants urging the right to hold the
meeting, and the plaintiff replied that
if new board was elected, who in turn
would elect new president, that this
would bring about dual organization,
stockholders and have an injurious ef-
feet on the help. The mill was in first
class condition under the present man
agement making money and paying
it's semi-annual dividend of per cent.
Judge Klugh reserved his decision,
giving no intimation of what it would
be.

THE MONUMENT TO
EDITOR GONZALES.
Mem sl Will be Perpetu-
an i'm Enduring Form.
Monument Presented to the City OF CO.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Shaft and Ap-
prOpriate Inscriptions.

the memory of the late Mr.. N. G. Con
zales. editor of The State, was un-
yelled and formally presented to the
city of Columbia last Tuesday in the
presence of two thousand people.
The exercises were held at the site of
the monument and they were very
beautiful and impressive. After the
singing OF the long meter doXology Bis
hop Ellison Capers, for many years
strong friend of Mr.. Gonzales, offered
very earnest prayer.
AT the conclusion of the singing of
the national hymn, "My Country 7Tis
of Thee" Mr.. w. A. Clark, chairman
of the Gonzales Monument Association.
addressed the gathering and as he re-
terred to the monument, the veil was
drawn aside from the die by two young
ladies of Columbia, and the inscriptions
were presented to view. Mr.. Clark
made an eloquent address and then pre-
sented the Rev. DR.. Samuel M. Smith.
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,
who delivered the Grafton of the occa-
sion.
Mr.. August Kohn, the Columbia cor
respondent of The News and Courier,
in his report of the exercises, said this
of DR.. Smiths address:
THE Grafton of the occasion was de-
livered by the Rev. Samuel M. Smith,
pastor of the First Presbyteria Church
of Columbia, and one of the strongest
and ,ablest men in the ministry in all
Carolina. Mr.. Smith was presented by
Mr.. Clark as the friend and admirer Of
Mr.. Gonzales. This was true, for as the
friend DR.. Smith meted out just praise
and commendation, and as the admirer
he lauded that which was best and
strongest in the life of great editor.
1t was remarkable address -mashap,
the subject gave the INSPIRATION. Seldom
before has there ever been such an ora
tion-it was real oration and so force
full, so incisive, so real was what he
had to, say that many were the tear
dimmed eyes. This is one of the ora
tions that will live in after years, but
with such mind and such man, with
such record why should he not have
thrilled hearts!"
The presentation of the monument
was made by Mr., Clark to the city of
Columbia through its official head,
Mayor I. III. Gibbs, whose remarks in
accepting were quite appropriate.

IN SOCIETY'S REALM.
Members of the Euchre Club Entertained
by Miss Jones.

Miss Willie Jones gave charming af
ternoon on Thursday to the members of
the Euchre Club, who gathered in her
attractive. cozy drawing room at $50,
just before one of the heaviest, most
dreary rains of the winter began to
fall. Perhaps the bleak afternoon
without accumulated the comfort and
enjoyment of the merry party within,
but certain it is that the occasion was
especially delightful to each and every
guest. A game of bid euchre progressed
in liveliest fashion and delicious refresh
ments were served. Ferns, palms and
cut flowers were used to decorate the
parlors. Mrs. Richard G. Richardson,
of Pinewood, was the only out-of-town
guest, but others present were: Misses
Alma Shell, Lillian Irby, Helen Cog
gans, Lillier Stevens, Bertha Wells,

HOTEL MANAGER
KILLS TWO MEN
Gaffney is the Scene of
Horrible Tragedy.
I'm DEFENCE OF WOMAN
Two theatrical Men Are Shot and Killed
Because They Resented Conduct
of Hotel Proprietor,

=. AT Gaffney last Friday morning,
George Hasty, one of the proprietors of
the Piedmont hotel, shot and instantly
killed Milan Bennett and mortally
wounded Abbott Dawson, who died
late Saturday. afternoon;
committed to Jail. He has made no
statement of the affair, only to the eff
feet that he would do the same thing
over under like circumstances.
The shooting took place in the hall of
the hotel. Three shots were fired by
Hasty, two of which struck Dawson
and the other pierced the heart of Ben
nett. 1t is stated that neither of
Hasty's victims was armed, though a
the floor, where they fell.
Bennett and Dawson were members
of theatrical company which had
given performance at the opera house
the night before and was stopping at
Hasty's hotel. Bennett was musical
director and Dawson the star per-
former of the company. Both were
from the North.
The trouble grew out of the conduct
of the hotel man toward two lady MEM
bers OF the theatrical company Misses
Sheridan and Bishop, who complained
to their natural protectors about Hasty
offering them a drink which they de-
clined, whereupon they were grossly
insulted by the man. Later he tried
to enter Miss Sheridan's room by fore
ing the door open.
When called to account the next
morning by Bennett and Dawson,
Hasty bitterly denied the charges.
Bennett denounced the fellows conduct
and when Hasty declared that the la
dies had lied, Dawson struck him and
caught hold of his arm. Hasty imme-
diately drew his pispol and fired into
both men with the result as already
stated
The people of Gaffney hastened to
the aid of the stricken strangers within
their gates and everything possible was
done in caring for the dead and contri-
buting to the welfare of the mem
bers of the company, consisting of two
other men and several ladies.
The crime is denounced by the people
and the press of South Carolina and of
the whole country.
1t is said that Bennett and Dawson
were to have been married to Misses
Sheridan and Bishop, the wedding day
having been named for each of the
marriages.
A prominent show man has stated
that the Actors Fund has contributed
$4, 900 to help prosecute Hasty.

hearted friend, an influential, honora-
BILE and upright citizen, whose friends
throughout this section sincerely re-
gret his departure.
Before the war he was major in the
State militia. At the first cali to arms
in the War Between the Sections, he
volunteered and was made first lieuten-
ant of Company c., 18th S. c. Regi-
ment, Sam McGowan's Brigade. A
year later, upon the retirement of

The Rev. John w. Humbert.

1t will be source of disappointment
to the Rev. j. w. Humbert and will be
a matter of regret to his many friends,
that he will be unable to attend the
annual meeting of the Methodist Con-
ference this year. For forty-six years
he never missed meeting of the an
nual conference and during his long SER
vice to the church he never failed to at
tend district meeting or to keep an
appointment "a record of which he should
be justly proud. On account of failing
health he retired from. the active work
of the ministry and is living quietly at
his home in Newberry. He has earned
and deserves the rest which he is now
taking. -Newberry Herald and News,
