State Dispensary Director b. b. Evans
has been elected president of the Farm
ers' Oil Mill at Newberry. So he's a
farmer after all.
Nv
If Mr. Dispensary Director 81. 81. Evans
finally concludes to enter suit against the
Barnwell Sentinel, We fancy he'll get a
lot of free advertising, but it will hardly
be the kind he'll like. The Sentinel edi-
tors would do we'll to get his tax return
in New5erry county for the year before
he was elected dispensary director and
for the year 1905. Comparison of the
two might be interesting at least.
Nv
The suggestion of a taxpayer that
mass meeting be called to discuss the
water and light franchise to be voted on
by the citizens of the town on Monday,
April 3rd, is an excellent one. We can
not have too much publicity in matters
where the peoples interests are at stake,
and this is an important matter. Let
rs have the meeting and full and free
discussion of the matter. We should do
what is best for the town and no false
steps should be made.
~
We see no reason to discuss the water
and light franchise any further, as most
of our citizens believe We have an ad7an-
tageous proposition-one which it will be
to cur advantage to accept. There is little
opposition to granting the franchise, and
we confidently expect it to be ratified by
an overwhelming vote. This newspaper
has always been in favor of municipal
ownership, but the only way for the town
to own it's water and light plant is to
issue bonds to raise the money. This we
cannot do, as the law prohibits bonding
any town beyond eight per cent. of its
total taxable property. We already have
the court house bonds, and to issue water
and light bonds would exceed the limit.
Therefore the best thing to do is to give
q contract to private parties with the
privilege of buying the plant when the
court house bonds are all paid. Then, too,
some towns have found municipal owner
ship a costly experiment at the start.
NeWberry established its. own plant few
years ago, and their so street lights have
been costing them over $50 each perry year.
We noticed an article in the News and
Courier few days ago which stated that
Elgin, ILL.,, large city, using PAT street
lights, has discontinued the use of its own
plant and contracted with private COM
pany to light the streets. The lights,
even with this large number, cost them
$71 a year under municipal ownership.

Strenuous Times for Strenuous Press.

These are strenuous times for the siren

ton contemporaries for referring to him
as "colored," and Chairman of Dlspen-
sary Directors Evans is about to bring
action for libel against the Barnwell New
Sentinel for intimating box-parties and
coach and pair on s4Oo per annum. It's
a shame to take the money!-The State.

SNOWSLlDES.
They Are Fearful of Speed and q
Magnificent Spectacle.

They Are Fearful Of Speed and .
Magnificent Spectacle.
SnoHslides are most frequent on
steep mountains that have a heavy
snowfall. With q bIlowy train OF
snow dust boiling out behind and over
turning or crushing almost everything
before they make an awful and mag
ni6cent spectacle. Their speed is some
times so great that trees alongside are
overturned by the swamping force OF
the air which the slide has violently
disturbed.
There are many we'll authenticated
Instances where miners have been
caught on the surface Of slide and by
dexterous use Of their skees have kept
on top Of the enguling surface Of the
slide and come out uninjured. John
Muir once rode down from the high
Sierra on q snowslide. He was swish
ed back down in a minute over dis
tance that had taken all day to climb.
One day while climbing up steep
snowy slope a slide started beneath
me, and for time I was on the sur
face Of its upper edge, where the snow
was about two feet deep. Wading a
torrent will give some idea Of the sweep
Of the coast!ng snow. The snow dust
steamed and boiled up around me, and
each time I struggled to my feet the
rushing snow simply jerked my feet
from beneath me- At last almost
smothered, I was dropped off the back
end upon bare ground.-Enos A. Mills
in Harper's Weekly.

the list with 165 winning mounts. On
the California tracks this winter he
rode two winners at Oakland and fin

Fresh Fruit,

"Gold in the morning silver at noon
and lead at night" is always used with
reference to fruit. Most people think it
means that the explanation of the prov
erb is that digestion is strongest in the
morning and weakens as the day goes
on But you will note that the proverb
refers to fruit alone. If it has to do
with the digestive power only it should
be applied to all foods. The real expla-
nation is very different. 1t is that fruit
freshly gathered is fitted for eating and
lessons In value as the hours pass. That
is true not of fruit only, but of all veg
