Certainly Should Be Rebuked.


About how much stock does the le-
gal fraternity expect the state at large
TO take in the argument that the
iudges of the supreme court are over
worked when there is such multi
plicity of active candidates for
place on the bench the moment one
becomes vacant? The hard-headed
Yankee will reason that If the duties
of the Judge are so onerous and SO Ill
paid. ii is singular that there are
always so many aspirants for the job.
And among the candidates there Is
always plenty of good Materials
good as can be found in the state
from which to select. As usual, there
is now the same unseemly scramble as
ever. i'm the case of the existing va
cancy. Almost before Judge start nad
breathed his last it began. and before
his burial a hot campaign was on
vaged by petitions and letters all over
the state. II is a most undignified and
disrespectful proceeding. and II wouio

good sense by naming somebody who

Roosters Must Not Crow While Villagers Sleep

BOOSTERS are forbidden to crow, dogs
to bark, bells to be tolled and engines to
toot their whistles in the suburb of Mount
Vernon, between 10 O'Clock at night and
9 o'clock in the morning, according to a
decision reached recently at meeting of
the New York board of health. The ban
will be placed on these so-called nuisance 8
Saturday, and after that the owners of
indiscreet fowls and restless watch dogs
will be subject to fines ranging from So
to $50. 1t is said that the ordinance is
aimed at two railroads who handle all of
their freight to Mount Vernon at night.
The roads bring most of their freight into
tho city between and 4 o'clock in the
morning. Aside from the corporations,
however, the new regulation reaches
nearly every resident, as the majority of
them possess either dog or chicken,
and most of them have both.

Negro Attacks White Girl.

Miss Bargcr, young white girl, living
aoout2O miles from Tuscaloosa, Ala, was
assaulted by Philip Binin, young negro,
last Sunday. Miss Barger was at the
spring, where she had gone for water,
only short distance from the house,
when Binin appeared. He seized his
prey, when she, by all her strength and
screens, frightened hin. away.
Miss Rarger's parents arc quite aged,
and before assistance could be rendered
the negro made good his escape. 1t is
thought that he is coming in the direction
of Tuscaloosa, aud the sheriff and his
deputies arc making search. If he is
caught he will probably be severely dealt
with.

Too much care cannot 10 used with
small children during the hot weather of
the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS a rule it is only
necessary to give the child a dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the fashioned castor oil, and see
that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauscates
aud has tendency to grippe. If this
does not check the bowels give Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoa
Remedy and then dose of castor oil,
and the disease may be checked in it's
incipiency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be pro.
cured at once and kept ready for instant
use as soon as the first indication of any
bowel trouble appears. This is the most
successful treatment known and may bo
relied upon with implicit confidence even
in cases of cholera infantum. For sale

An Opponent for TiiIman.

Washington special to the Green
vile News says: j. b. Lee. of Spartan
burg, who has been spending several
days in the city, spoke interestingly of
South Carolina matters to News repre-.
sentative. He said: "The people of the
Piedmont are much interested in the
question of having Stobo j. Simpson op.
pose Senator Tillman for the Senate at
the expiration of the latter's term of
office. There is no man in the State who
could fill the Office with more dignity
and honor than Mr.. Simpson, and there
is rapidly coming change in the feel
ing of the people in regard to the pres.
ent Senator. Senator Tillman has been
losing ground rapidly lately, and the
recent corruptness in the dispensary in
vestigations has not helped him any. 1t
is the opinion of many people through
out the State that, as he knows the dis
pensary to be bad, he should change his
policy in regard to it and not endeavor
to cling on to it and force it on the peo-
pie whether they want it or not. There
is no doubt that if Mr.. Simpson will con-
sent to enter the field against Senator
Tlllman, that as matters now stand, be
will defeat him beyond doubt. think
it is now time for the State to have a
man in the Senate who is absolutely
beyond reproach in any sense of the
word, and the people have talked to
in South Carolina feel that Mr.. Simpson
could fill the place better than any one
else"

Tillman's and TaIbert's Anecdotes.

Both Senator Tillmau and Col Tai
bert used anecdotes in tkeir discussion
of the dispcnsary question here Wednes-
day. A good anecdote, we'll told, is as
effective in pressing point in a stump
speech as is the strongest kind of argu-
ment or reasoning.
Col Talbert told of an old negro who
owned a dog that got to bowling one
night Some one asked tho negro what
was the matter with tho dog, and the
negro replied: ''IIc smells something
rotten, but he can't locate it," "And
that's what's the matter with the people
of South Carolina" said Col TaIbert.
They are howling about the dispensary.
They smell something rotten, but they
daven'U been able to locate it yet. [
rhink, though, that that investigating
committee liz on warm trail.'
senator Tillman told the crowd that
prohibition would not prohibit, and then
told them of the revenues they would
lose and the higher taxes they would
have 20 pay If they voted the dispensary
out He then told of a calf that got lost
Grom its mother and followed an old
steer across the plantation. A little boy
tricd TO drive the calf back to the COW
pen to its mother, but couldn't do So
FINALLY the boy gave up in disgust and
eXclaimed "Well, go or, durn you; YOU
may not be able to tell the difference
slow, but you'll find out the difference

exclaimed Senator Tillman, ''you people
