An old lady OF Lynn, Mass, who has

The birth rate in Berlin declined from

The Legislature.

Since our last issue we have very lit
tie to report of a local nature, ana
mighty little of a general natnre eN-
cept the action of the House in passing
the Morgan Local Option bill. A
measure very similar to what was
known as the "Appelt BIZ introduced
in 1900. The Clarendon delegation was
not solid on the Morgan bill. Green
and DesChamps cling to their idol by
voting to hold on to the State dispen-
sarv, and Captain Bradham voted TO
kill the State dispensary, and in favor
of local option. Representative Hamel
of Kershaw, true-blue Prohibitionlst,
in order 70 go on record called for a
straight vote on Prohibition, in this
vote not one of the Clarendon delega-
ton voted for Prohibition, Captain
Bradham did not vote, and the other
two were against.
Senator Davis has a bill to authorize
the trustees of Summerton school to
issue bonds for school house.
There was no session last Monday, on
account of salesday, and as most OF the
members are lawyers they had to De at
their respective court houses on pro
fessional business.
Representative Irby OF Laursus, VINO
is interested in a little paper, ''Ihe
Vidette.'' has introduced q: resolution
calling for commission TO 'lnvestl?ate
the State printing. These investlga-
tions are all right in.their way, but we
are unalterably. opposed to the per
diem feature which gives Anvestlgatlns
committees junSetinG trips at the eS-
peuse Of the people.

ested spectators at the big land sale

Peace to His Ashes.

If the ';uncoguid" or ''rigidly right
eous," as Burns loved to call them,
could have witnessed the demonstra-
tiors of grief manifested by almost the
entire population in this town at the
tragic death of Mr.. J. r. Hill, and
have heard the earnest expressions OF
sympathy for the bereaved ones, from
nearly everyone, they might have
formed more acurate opinion of the
esteem in which he was held by our
people, and his moral and social stand
ing in the community.
The exaggerated accounts Of his
death and the unfortunate incidents
leading up to it would hardly have
been sent to the press for publication.
Evidently the items which appeared
the morning after his body was found
were written by irresponsible parties
or those ignorant Of the facts as they
existed.
The absurd charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons IS too silly to need de-
uial. Whoever heard OF a white man
carrying razor as a weapon?
Our dead friend was too polished a
gentleman to descend to anything SO
Contemplate. It could only have been
used by him for shaving, and was to
be sharpened, or had just been bought,
He had his weakness-who has not:
But his intemperance was neither a
vice nor crime, but was constitutional.
The desire to write something sensa-
tional or intensity the interest IS the
