In anticipation of the National
Congress admitting into the Union
as State the territories of Okla
homa and Indian Territory at the
next session, the Rock Island Rail
way system is now trying to develop
Oklahoma by selling town lots in
the several small towns in the ter
ritory. Mr.. John f. Bronson, for
merly Of Orangeburg, s. c., is an
agent for the Rock Island Company,
and has been in Union for the past
week selling lots located in the town
Of FaXon, Oklahoma. The lots are
sold by numbers and at reasonable
rates; a free trip to the town is
given to every purchaser of lot or
lots, and the purchaser after visit
ing and viewing the lots purchased
if not fully satisfied with his pur-
chase will have his money refunded
to him by the Rock Island Com
pany without a word. The town
of FaXon is only two years old and
has population of five hundred E.
The Rock Island railroad company
will complete their railroad to this
town by the last of December. The
| projected route of this railroad will
necessarily cross the Indian rescrva-
ton. this land will in December be
leased by the United States govern
ment to settlers for five years with
the privilege OF renewing the lease
for another five years. The Indian
reservation contains 100000 acres
of very fine land. Oklahoma as
you know borders on the Red river,
just across which river is the State
of Texas, and those who arc famil-
lar with the lands on Red river in
Texas can form some idea of the
character of the soil in Oklahoma
Several citizens of Union have pur-
chased lots in Faxon and will 90
with Mr.. Bronson in December to
sec the lots and the surrounding
country and Judge of the future
prospects of that country as an in
ycStment.

violations of said dispensary law,
whereas, under and by the general
provisions OF said law, the persons
within the counties of Greenwood
and Marlboro, where no dispensaries
have ever been established, and
where no alcoholic liquors are legally
sold, are afforded the protection of
said dispensary law, together with
counties having dispensaries, with.
out any special levy of taxes for
the enforcement of the same, nor
are they burdened with any other
conditions for the enforcement Of
the same; thus denying to persons
IN Union county the equal protec-
ton OF the law afforded the persons
in Marlboro and Greenwood coun-
ties, although situated alike.
(c. Because said act provides
that Any county voting out a dis
pensary shall not thereafter receive

maintained his position with Ee-
coming dignity and came out on

doubtless the performance in Co.

approval of some of those who are

ton, calculated to do more harm
than good, and imputing to Dixon
selfish and unpatriotic motives.

BRICf LAW BEFORE JUDGE
pRITCHHRD.

1t would be sweeping, far-rcach-
ing, unprecedented decision, a trans
scending of power, should Judge
Pritchard of the United States circuit
court decide as attorney John. G.
Capers says he will in the case now
before that court in which Judge
Pritchard is asked to pass upon the
cOnstitutionality of the Bricc law,
in so far as it conflicts with the
Constitution of the United States,
in that it imposes an unequal tax
upon the citizens of South Carolina,
that the Bricc bill as unconstitu-
tional, therefore all of the elections
held under this law arc null and
void, thereby rc-cstablishing the
several dispcnsarics and at the same
time rcinstating the dispensers.
Judge Pritchard can only decide
the question of the constitutionality
of the Brice law in so far as it con-
llicts with and rcpugnant to the
Constitution of the United States,
the effect of which will be to relieve
the citizens Of the imposition of an
unequal tax. Judge Pritchard will
have absolutely no jurisdiction over
any other feature or provision in
the Bricc law, and will not leopard
izc his reputation as a Judge by 60
ing further than this in his decision
in this case.
Wind is cheap and if Mr.. Capers
said what the papers have given
him credit for saying, he is only
talking to encourage and make the
clients feel good for the time being,
because it cannot and will not have
the effect to frighten or weaken the
other side in the contest.
If Judge Pritchard decides as Mr..
Capcrs says, then the lawyers who
have been engaged in trying to have
the elections on the dispensary
question set aside and are even now
before the supreme court of this
State for decision, have fooled
away their time and caused their
clients to spend much useless money,
they should have gone before Judge
Pritchard III the first instance and
by this time all would doubtless
have been settled, according to

ents, as such county board of con-
troll, acting solely under what they
considered to be their duty, and
who as the result of said election,
under and by virtue of the said
Brice bill, above referred to, and
by direction thereof, and without
any pretense of any charge of mis-
conduct on the part of relator, did,
on the - day of - 1905, close the
said dispensary, located in the town
of Union, dispossessed the relator
of his said office and the emolu-
ments of the same, against his pro-
test, and Notwithstanding the fact
that he was then ready and DESTROYS
Of continuing possession of said
Office and performing the duties
thereof, and he is now desirous and
willing SO to do. That the salary
and emoluments of said office were
fixed at eighty dollars (s9O) per
month.
Sec: II. That the relator re-
spectfully alleges and suggests to
this honorable court that the said
act of 1904, known as the Brice
bill, is unconstitutional, null and
void, contravening article XIV,
section /, of the amendments to the
constitution Of the United States:
First, In that it deprives the tax
payers of Union county of their
property without due process of law.
(a.) Because the said act is not
a valid law of the state, inasmuch
las it levies tax on all of the taxa
bic property in certain counties for
the enforcement of general state
law, and exempts from said levy
other counties placed in the same
circumstances and under like con-
ditions as to the dispensary law and
the enforcement thareof. Thus
violating article X, section ! , of the
constitution of the state of South
Carolina, wherein is proved "the
general assembly shall provide by
law for uniform and equal rate of
taxation.
(b.) Because the said act is not
valid law of the said state for the
reason that it provides that any
county voting out dispensary shall
not thereafter receive any portion
of the surplus funds that may re-
main of the dispensary school funds,
after the deficiencies in the various
county school funds have been made
up, as provided by law, "but leav-
ing the said surplus funds to be
distributed among the counties re-
tanning the dispensary, Marlboro
and Greenwood counties, i'm which
no dispensary has ever been estab-
lished, which is in conflict with art.

BLACKMAILING.

There is perhaps in the category
of crimes no more dangerous char
acter than the blackmailer. Black
mailing is the practice of a ticnd in
carnatc who is more INSCRIPTIONS
than a burglar, highway robbcr or
mid night assassin, because he
schemes and plans TO cXtort money
from the innocent by threats, cloth
ed in uncertainty, which involves
scandal, of which most people arc
afraid. The victims of the black
mailer are ever on the rack of un-
easincss, mental anguish and dread
Of some personal injury or private
vengeance. Nothing is too low,
mean or degrading for such ii per-
son to stoop to accomplish the end

it rather meet the demands of the
blackmailer than have the accusa- :

known, so that the blackmailcr
accomplishes his purpose. The vii

is the blackmailer, and the law re-
CARDS him as the most deadly enemy
to law, order, and decent society,
and the punishment is none too Sc

a recent attempt at blackmailing

gard it fortunate that the attempt
was detected, for it may be the

have been led to repeat the attempt
and thus bring this young person to
suffer as criminal the rest of his

taxable property in said county,
and in every other county voting
out the dispensaries for the enforce
ment OF the general state dispensary
law, which prohibits the sale in any
part OF the state, of alcoholic liquors,
except in dispensaries, the state
levies a special and continuous tax
on all property for defraying the
expenses of the enforcement of.the
