The prompt punishment, administer
Z
ed by Judge Williams at Kenosha, to
six railroad men who had plead guilty
to robbing freight Gears on the North
Western road, should constitute a
wholesome lesson to offenders and
would-be offenders Of this class. The
men implicated in these robberies un-
doubtedly escaped with much lighter
punishment than would otherwise have
been inflicted, by pleading guilty and
thus obviating the necessity of an ex.
pensive prosecution. Their fate, how
ever, will be a timely warning to the
effect that the railroad officials propose
to run down this sort of thievery and
put every offender behind the prison
bars that it is possible to convict.

Scheme to Secure Her. City Beauti.
full Pleasure Ground.
Had it not been for ~oman's idea
Bay City, Mich, would probably not
now be preparing to convert a nine
acre strip Of river front, occupied by
business houses, into public park,
saws the Detroit Free Press. The wo-
man is Mrs. Alfred E. Bousfeld, wife
of one of the wealthiest residents of
Bay City. Mr.. Bousfeld is one Of the
three men who brought the $3.50, ,OOC
hotel and auditorium project to sue
cessful issue.
The day the old Fraser House burned
Mrs. Bousfeld began talking park in
earnest to her husband. The latter be-
came impressed with the idea, and he
broached it to S. o. Fisher, president
Of the board Of trade, and c. A. Eddy,
his associates in the hotel project. The
three gentlemen presented the scheme
to the public, and it was ratified at
the polls election day by 4 to l vote.
AS q result Of Mrs. Bousfeld's idea
the new hotel will cost $4,000 more
than originally planned, fourteen new
business blocks in the business district
are in the hands Of the architects, over
s4OO 1000 has changed hands in down.
town realty, business property has IN
creased in value from 25 to 100 per
cent, and buildings valued at S125,OOO
are to be torn down.
Interest in the hotel and park propo-
sition, however, had aroused people
generally in matters Of civic improve
ment, and Mrs. Bousfeld, always more
or less interested in municipal improve
ment work by local clubs, took lead
ing part in the organization Of the new
Woman's Civic Improvement league.
She threw open her home on Center
avenue for meetings, to which women
of all classes of society were invited.
Other wives of wealthy men followed
the example, and now the membership
Of the league is mounting rapidly to-
ward the thousand mark.
Absolute democracy prevails among
the members, and women who have
never before known each other owing
TO differences in the social scale are
working hand in hand. They have
overthrown all municipal precedents,
made a grand assault on the council
and secured the aid of the city In clean
ing up the town, the city furnishing
the teams to haul away the accumuia
ton OF q winters debris from all pri-
vate residences.

ALWAYS Trust the Girls.

Not long ago a Kansas City stenog-
rapher learned that the railroad for
which she was working had determ-
ined to extend it's line. She had a
friend living in the town through
which the line was to run. A letter
to him, with her savings, would have
enabled him to buy at low price
the land the road needed, and the
peculiar nature of the ground in that
neighborhood would have enabled
him to sell at a great profit. She
did not consider the thing more than
a minute, and then decided that it
would be a dishonorable thing to do.
Another stenographer in alarge real
estate office became aware of a deal
in which S15O,000 was involved.
Certain information she possessed
would be worth thousands to the
other parties. They made few ad-
vances and limited at rewards as high
as $4,000 for her betrayal of her
firm. She Indignantly refused and
told her employers of the scheme:
Another stenographer was offered
$1,000 for copies of three letters
which she had written. A law suit
in which her employers were involved
might have gone against them had
the opposing party been able to Sc
cure the information contained in
the three letters. The lawyer for
the other side laid ten S100 bills on
her mothers table and told her they
were hers for the permission to read
the letters. The girl scorned the Of
fer.

Comedy in a Back Street.

About 10 o'clock one morning two
men met and began threatening and
calling each other names. One final
ly called the other a liar, and the
two men were about to grapple when
a woman opened the door and said:
Gentlemen, are you about to fight?'
eve are!" they answered together.
"Then have the kindness to wait a
moment" she continued. my hus-
band has been sick for weeks, and is
now just able to sit up. He is very
down-hearted this morning, and if
you'll only wait till l can draw him
up to the window ! know he'll be
very. grateful to both of you"
She disappeared into the house,
and after one look into each others
face the men smiled, shook hands
and departed together.

Now let all good citizens, prohibi-
tionists and dispensaryites, join hands
and hold up the hands of those who
have the management of the county
dispensaries in charge. They want
to carry out the law, every one of
them we believe, but they need the
support and cooperation of all law
abiding people, just as all other pub
lie officials. They haven't an easy
job by any manner of means, and we
believe they will appreciate the sup
port and encouragement of good
people in their efforts to administer
the dispensary affairs to the best in
terest of the county.

Prohibition in Chesterfield.

MIR. w. ]. Hanna, of Chesterfield,
one of the leaders in the fight made in
that county for prohibition, resulting
last week in voting the dispensary
out of the county by a vote of two
to one, was in the city yesterday.
s'We won a victory squarely and
fairly" said Mr.. Hanna, ''but the
dispensary folks are dying hard. l
understand that they have employed
Mr.. Pollock, of Cheraw, and it is
given out that a bitter contest will
be made. But the prohibitionists are
game and don't propose to sit down
and allow these folks to do as they
please. We have employed Hon. E..
D. Blakeney, of Kershaw, and those
who know him know that he will fight
to the last ditch.
"At Chesterfield the ladies and
children stayed near the polls all day
long, praying and singing. They
would hand ballots labeled Against
Sale to every person that came along
to vote and pleaded with them to
help vote the the dispensary out.
Some of the dispensaryites, | under
stand, are trying to claim that by
doing this they were 'intimidated.'
eve are not afraid of any contest
that the dispensary folks want to
make. Idon't believe any election in
Chesterfield county was ever con-
Quoted more strictly in accordance
with the law. If there were few
irregularities here and there they
were merely Incidental and certainly
no one will charge that the prohibi-
tionists designed them"
The board of canvassers will meet
at Chesterfield on Tuesday of this
week to canvass the vote of the 18th.

Tiny Boy Saves Father.

NORFOLK, Aug. 17.-Seeing his
father dubbed into insensibility by a
negro, little Joseph White, seven
years old, picked up a rifle, struck
the negro several blows on the head,
put him to flight and fired two shots
at him as he ran.
w. H. White is tollgate keeper at
the Campostella bridge. The trouble
with the negro arose over the pay
ment of toll. White attempted to
shoot the negro in self-defense after
the black commenced to club him,
but his assailant caught the revolver
in one hand and held it as he used
the club with the other.

Thursday, August %, 1907

The dispensary contest is over and
we are glad of it. Some feeling was
doubtless aroused in the heat of the
campaign, but that should all be for
gotten now. Let US drop the ques-
ton, as it is settled as county mat
ter, and go to work to build a cotton
warehouse, get a competing line of
railroad, and other needed enter
prises.

Dispensary Wins by Small Majority

The election on the dispensary
question in Bamberg county Tuesday
resulted in favor Of the dispensary
by the small majority of 27 votes:
The election passed off quietly, and
avery light vote was polled, although
much interest was manifested in the
town of Bamberg, which resulted in
a good vote at this place. Only 600
votes were polled in the county, less
than half of our white voters. Fol-
lominor are the fpureS.
