Last Mondays meeting of the New
Century Club was in charge of Miss
Jennie Davis, chairman Of Education
A pleasing feature of the programme
was the report of the committee ap.
pointed to visit the schools. Mrs. NJ.
E. Williams told of the visit to the new
school building and spoke in apprecia.
tive terms of the work being done in
each grade. Mrs G. w. Marshall then
spoke Of the condition of the colored
school. The attendance is better in
rainy than in pleasant weather, pre-
sumably because the children cannot
stay in the streets when it rains. Some
seem anxious to learn to sew and if ma
terial can be provided the teachers are
willing to add this TO the course Ofstudy.

day last, which stated that Mr.. and
Mrs. Pardoe wereidenti6ed by the Rev.
W. +. Cotton, colOred preacher who
once resided in, Milford, and that he
married them later at his residence.
Mr.. PardOe was informed by the clerk |
that he would have to have some one

they claimed to be, and ii so happened
that DIR. Cotton was at the City Hall
making return Ofmarriages at the time.
and he testified to having known both
parties in Milford, and this ended the
matter They received the license and
went to Rev. Andrew Culver, pastor of
Grace Presbyterian Church, who is a

he wedding took place. They took the

monious solution last Tuesday when
John W. Bennett, Of near Milford was
elected to the Sussex ehairmansbip.

endeavoring to capture the leadership.
When the committeeman oftbe vari

YARDAMAN WHIPS CONVICT.
Conduct of Chief Executive of Mississippi
May be Investigated.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 1S.-A report
having been current for some weeks
that Governor Vardaman had thrashed
severely a convict at the Governors
mansion some time ago M. w. Wells,
Jr., a member of the Legislative peni-
tertiary committee, called on the Gov
ernor and asked him if the report was
true. Governor Vardaman said that
he had whipped the convict, who, he
said, was shining his shoes, and made
some impertinent remark. The Gov
ernor said he had kicked the convict,
and then grabbed a broom and had
given him a sound thrashing.
Governor Vardaman, in his message
to the Legislature, charged the Legis-
lature to investigate the convict sys-
tenn and this whipping of a convict by
the Governor will be thoroughly inves-
tigated by the committee. The con-
vict who was whipped is now in the
prison hospital suffering from rheuma-
tism. The publicity of the story here
has created a great sensation in politi-
cal circles.

TO SAVE THE DISPENSARY.

Ii the Hon. Coleman l.. Blease should
be elected Governor of South Carolina
the D~ispensary would be stronger than
it has been in years. Senator Blease is
the most active and aggressive cham
pion that the D~ispensary has at this
time. With Mr.. Blease in the Gov
ernor's Office and Capt. Tillman in the
Senate the Dispensary would be con-
Quoted much as it was conducted when
Capt. Tillman was Governor. If the
Dispensary is not killed at the present
session of the General Assembly to
Senator Blease will be due the princi-
pal credit for saving it. This will af-
ford to Senator Tillman the opportunity
to make that zone more" campaign in
it's defense.
Meanwhile we are not sure that Sena-
tor Tillman has a stomach for that
fight. He will have all he can do to be
reelected to the Senate without risking
his political life to save the Dispen-
sary's corpse now floating rapidly out
ward with the tide. For six months he
has been as quiet as a mouse about the
liquor law.
Buff MIR. Blease shall succeed i in
leading a spectacular fight for the
Great Moral Institution in the General
Assembly, the Tillman-Blease ticket
may prove the strongest combination in
next summers campaign.
