Of bear, and his mouth as the mouth
Of O lion"

DISPENSARY TICKET +
%.,. OUT IN DARLINGTON

Lamar, July 19.-The speech of
Senator Tillman delivered by him here
yesterday is the general topic of con-
versation.
1t is claimed by many that they
have never seen Tillman more ener-
getic and vigorous. Several remark
ed that cit Is the same old Ben of
. 1927 There is no doubt but that he
made great impression on the "wool
hats.' "Thr old court house ring'
is the cry. Some people in Darlington
and other parts Of the county brought
out Mr.. ID. II. McKcithan for the
State senate and The County Mcsscn-
ger, in commrnin" ON his candidacy.
mentioning on his candidacy, mcntion-
ch his platform and advised the OPP
ponrntS of the State di$pcnsnry to
form and advised the opponents for
the house Of Representatives and il has
been said that II slate was made. 1t
seems that Tillman was Informed of
the fact and hence he urged organiza-
tion Of those favoring the retention
of the State dispcnsary to join they
must be as well organized as the
"antis' and must work as cnergcti-
cally in order to defeat the "court
house ring. -
1t is reported that Immediately af-
ter the meeting number of people

that either Mr. G. p. Scarborough. cX-
sheriff of this county, or Mr.. w. a.

G. G"odsomc of Society Hill and, very

The Death of the Diamond King.

Springfield Republican.
Alfred Belts death removes about
the last of the group Of financiers who
became international figures through
the development Of the diamond mines
OF Kimberly and the gold mines of
the Rand. Cecil Rhodes, Barney Bar
nato and Mr.. Belt became multimil-
lionarieS; all have died at a compara-
lively early age, leaving fortunes con-
sidcred huge in England, yet COM
paratively modest when judged by
our highest American standard. Mr..
Belt, it is stated, was not worth over
$30,000,O00, and, if that was all, of
course there are several Americans
who could have "bought 'him out
two or three times over While "thc
richest man in England, Mr.. Belt
was born a German Jew, a fact not
without interest as showing how back
ward the pure-blooded Englishman is
nowadays in amassing great wealth.
Like Cecil Rhodes, Mr.. Belt was much
entangled in the Transvaal troubles
that eliminated in the Jameson raid,
and If finance had much to do with
bringing on the Boer war, he un-
doubtedly has his part to answer for
at the bar Of history.

France and the Church Separated.

There is great commotion throughout
France because of the operation of the
law separating church and State, which
law went into effect yesterday. For a
thousand years the church and State
have been one in France. That is, the
Roman Catholic church and the State
have been virtually one. The church was
supported at the expense of the State.
The State provided most Of the church
buildings and paid the salaries of the
church officials of all kinds. These Off
cials, however, owed their allegiance first
to the church of Rome, from which thew
derived their authority. Something like
a hundred years ago laws were passed
that gave limited recognition to other
religious bodies besides the Roman Cath
olics; but the Roman Catholics generally
came first, and were considered as having
claims that did not attach to others. The
new law, however, puts the Catholics on
exactly the same basis as the professors
Of other creeds. The State has taken
back all the property of it's own that has
been used by the church, and will no
longer pay salaries to churchmen. In
order to be permitted to hold public wor-
ship the Catholics are required to petition
for the right of assembly the same az
Others are required to do. The Roman
Catholic world has not taken kindly to
this change. Indeed, the French Gov.
ernment has evidence that the papal au-
thorities have been trying to get up rs
bellion, and what the fnal outcome will
be is not yet definitely, known. 1t is
quite possible that bloodshed may result
out Of the situation, but as to that time
alone can tell.
