He Stopped His Paper.
GSan Francisco CALL

Once upon a time a man got
mad at the editor and stopped
his paper. The next week he
sold his corn for four cents be-
low the market price. Then his
property was sold for taxes be-
cause he didn't read the treas.
urer's sales He was arrested
and fined So for going hunting
on Sunday simply because he
didn't know it Was Sunday, and
paid $500 for a lot of forged
notes that had been advertised
two weeks and the public eau
toned not to negotiate them,
He then paid a big American
with a foot like a forge ham
mer to kick him all the way to
the newspaper Office, where he
paid four years in advance and
made the editor sign an agree
ment to knock him down and
rob him if he ever ordered his
paperSstopped again.

DISPENSARY OR NO DISPENSARY?
The Electors Of Williamsburg to Be
Called On to Decide the Question.

LAKE CITY, June 9:-It is
very probable that the electors
of Williamsburg will soon be
called upon to vote upon the
question of "dispensary or no
dispensary.' The matter has
been talked quietly for several
months and it seems that this
talk is about to develop into
action. At the head of the
movement are some of the most
earnest and influential oppo-
nents of whiskey selling in the
country, and they will hardly
leave a stone unturned to put
the dispensaries out of the
county.
Your correspondent has it
upon excellent authority that
the petitions asking that an
election be ordered re being
framed now and will bs in cir,
culation at an early da1 What
the result of the EVICTION will
be is, of course problematical,
but be yond all question there
is strong sentiment through,
out the county against whiskey
selling. Especially is this the
case outside of those towns in
which the dispensaries are ID.

Monday afternoon we had a
little wreck in town. The local
freight, while drilling on the
station siding, ran a box car off
the track at the cattle pen. Sew

the incline of the cattle pen
knocked down and the forward
trucks of the car thrown out of

WHAT'S GOING ON
in GREELYVILLE.
The HASEL Den drug CO.--DEATH OF A
NONOGENARIAN.

NUNUutNAhlAN.
GREELYVILLE, June II: Some
of the farmers are complaining
that it is too dry now. They are
certainly hard to please. A
short while ago it was too wet
and now it is the reverse. If
we were to have two good rains
some would kick about too
much water and declare the
crops ruined. l sometimes won
der what kind of weather we
would have if the average
farmer could have his way about
it. l think the crops are doing
nicely. The farmers have all
taken advantage of this dry
weather to kill the grass.
Mr. E o Taylor, who is now a
"knight of the grip" having
been travelling in Georgia and
Florida for the past few months
selling crockery, ETC., is now at
home resting from his trip. He
says the hotel at Greelyville
kept by Mr. S J Taylor is the
cheapest house he has struck in
his travels.
DIR J F Haselden left here this
morning to 60 to Columbia, |
understand, to go before the
State Board of medical ex-
aminers. He expects to be gone
till the middle of the week.
Our boys are not quite as en-
thusiastic ball players now as
they were before they went to
Kingstree last Friday. l think
they will put in some time in
practice and try it again. That's
right, boys, ''if at first you
don't succeed, try, try again."
and we sincerely wish you bet
ter luck next time.
We are glad to see Mr. S W
Hogan on our streets again,
after an absence of several
weeks at Glenn springs.
Mr. and Mrs T W Boyle are
also away at the springs.
Several of our boys visited
Foreston yesterday, among
whom were Messrs S w and R
B Hogan, W L Taylor and Hen
ry Ferrell.
The Haselden Drug Co was
here a short time ago.
Most of the company are Greedy
vile men. They are putting in
a full line of drugs and other
articles usually carried in first
class pharmacies. | understand
that Mr. William O'Bryan, Jr., of
Heinemann is to be clerk in the
drug store.
Mrs Louise Davis died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs L B
Browder, ON last Friday and
was buried at Mt Hope Baptist
church on Saturday. Mrs Davis
was the oldest person in this
community and possibly in the
county. She would have been
80 years old on her next birth
day some time time next fall.
She was the mother of Capt T B
Davis, who was so we'll known
for many years as foreman on
Santee trestle. She leaves two
daughters, Mrs L B Browder
and Mrs Pack, both of whom are
quite old ladies each having
several children.

DINNER TO ROOSEVELT
viii Be Given on the Dolphin by Sec
rotary BOnaparte Feb. 6.

Washington. Dee. 2s.-The secretary
of the navy and Mrs. Bonaparte will be
the host of the President and Mrs. Roose-
welt at a formal dinner on board the
United States ship Mayfiower on Febru-
airy 6. The dinner company will include
80 guests. who will be received in the
historic cabin where the president pre-
scented the Russian and japanese pleni-
pOtentiaries to each other on August 5,
last. This probably will be the first
time that the president has been aboard

The secretary and Mrs. Bonaparte have
a home in Baltimore and a country place
in the suburbs of that city. They have
rented apartments for the winter in
Washington and the secretary will fol-
low the custom of Secretary Long. who
gave his cabinet dinner to the president
on board the Dolphin.
Lieutenant Commander Andrew T
Long, commanding the MayfS9wer has
brought his ship from Alexandria to the
navy yard at Washington, where she is
berthed alongside the landing. 1t was
intended that the AIayfOwer should come
directly from the navy yard, New York

was found necessary to do considerable
dredging here before the Mayfiower
could come in.

HERE'S REMEDY.
The New zealand Football Game sug-
gested for Americans.

New York, Dec. 29.-English Rugby,
not as it is played in England or in
Canada. but the style of game adopted
by the opponents OF the sport in New
Zealand, is suggested as a substitute
Tor the game of American football IN
a letter addressed by Prof J. Edmund
Woodman, of Dalhousic university,
Halifax, n. s., to the conference of
colleges now considering a revision OF
the game The New Zealand game
Prof WoOdman declares, while de-
void of practically all the objection
able features which have brought the
American game into disfavor, pos
sesses much of what is good in nearly
all forms of the sport. He calls at
tention to the absence of what he
calls ''mob tackling, with the conse-
quent mob instinct which it arouses
among the spectators"
The game also would, he says give
liveliness, greater variety of possible
plays and strategic situations, and few
delays by reason of injury to players.
It's advantages to the players, II
addition to these points, would be
great proba bility of a scarcity of Sc
Tious injury; the game is as intense
and calling for nearly as much exer-
ton without the. exhaustion following
the American game; a greatly de-
creased cost to players and clubs
alike; the requirements and the de-
Velopment of certain fine qualities not
cdAled out Dy the Other game, espe-
cially quickness of individual judg-
nent and exertion. @a
In suggesting the substitution of
Rugby, Prof. Woodnan says that this
plan seems to him to be the only pos
sible solution of the present trouble
He believes that any attempt to rad
ically revise the present American
game would only result in its destruc-
ton. It is essentially a specialized
game. and he believes it would be i'm
possible to successfully despeciaIize it.
To abolish football entirely. he be-
lieves would result only i'll. in that it
would merely bottle up the energy of
the men without providing a counter
outlet. Slight changes in the game
would result in no permanent good.
Association football, Prof Woodman
declares, to be beyond consideration.

BANK TO PAY MORE.
Receiver Thinks He VIII Have a 10
or Is Per Cent. Dividend.

Enough real estate and uncashed
collateral remains in the hands Of
Receiver Bradley to declare an addi-
tional dividend of from 10 to 1 3 per
cent, without reckoning upon the out
come of the receivership of the Devlin
estate, in which the bank is a cred
itOr. This statement was made by the
receiver this morning. How soon an
additional dividend will be declared
is problematical. 1t will not be before
something is returned to the bank
from its portion in the receivership Of
the general estate of Devlin, is the be-
lief
There will be practically no cash
left to the credit of the bank with the
treasurer of the United States when
this SIS per cent. dividend is paid, :"
said the receiver.
The Germania Life Insurance COM
pany, of New York, which has been
the last of the insurance companies to
report. notified Mr.. Bradley today that
the $4,000 policy would be paid over
within the next few days. Until all
of the life insurance money is paid
over and from here transferred to the
treasurer of the United States, it is
not expected that active steps to pre-
pare the schedules for the payment
OF the dividends Will be made.

THoMAs FOB g1sTRIcr CLERK.
He Has No Opposition for the Nonli-
nation.

Richard L. Thomas. better known as
Dick Thomas, today makes a formal
announcement Of his candidacy for.
clerk of the district court. He is prob
ably the only candidate for county Of
fee who feels that he is certain to win
and this arises from the fact that he
has no opposition.
Mr.. Thomas probably mas as large a
personal acquaintance as any man in
Topeka. He came to this city with
his parents in 1871 when he was but
five years old and has lived here con-
. tinu0hslx y ii evarJ since. He went to
school with Fred Freeman, John Wa
ters, Speed Hughes and Charlie Holli-
day and others who have grown to
manhood in Topeka Two of Mr.
Thomas brother Evan and James,
are Santa Fe engineers and this fact
has given him a large acquaintance
among railroad men. This is prob.
ably why no one has cared to enter the
lists with him in the contest for the
nomination as clerk of the district
court.
For 81 years Mr.. Thomas was in
the newspaper business but for two
years he has been devoting his time to
the work of expert accounting. He
lives with his mother at 812 Quincy
street.
