For Little Readers Of The
Enterprise.

A Conductor, whom the most
of you know, told US this m 0rn-
ing with a happy CLEAN in his
eye, of a letter he received from
a little niece who had lately he'll
ped in putting out the saloons
from the town in which she lived.
She told of how she and her little
school-m ates paraded the streets
with banners, flags and notices,
singing hymns and songs that
touched the hearts of the voters.
One of their notices read Vote
for the children" Another
"The Home or the Saloon-whlch
shall it be?" One of their songs
was-"Trem BILE, King Alcohol,
we shall grow up" Indeed he
may tremble, for when those
girls and boys grow to woman
hood and manhood there will be
no drunk factories.for they will
be wiser than we and will not
allow it. We trust that no child
who reads the Enterprise will
ever touch, taste or handle, al
cohol, Will key, beer, wine or
CIDER or anything that makes
drunkenness.

Scene At The Grave.
drunkenes

There was an effecting scene at
Bonaventure the other day when
the body of a Confederat veteran
had been lowered to the dust.
The cerimonies had been conclu-
ded and the last number on the
program was the blowing of taps
when the Confederate flag had
been spread upon the grave.
This was familiar proceeding
here aud yet the solemn1tV Of
it is always impressive and affec-
tin. Across the walk from the
section which bore the new-made
grave was a group of Northern
visitors watching from distance
the interment of a Confederate
soldier. When the burial was over
and the 'bugle sang truce there
was not a dry eye among them
1t made indifference upon which
side the man had fought. At this
late day the color of the uniform
was a SINAI matter. Here was a
soldier who had served on the
Southern side, who had died III
The Soldiers home and who was
brought to his native place to
rest among his comrades and his
kinsmen.
The ranks about the grave were
thin but each man who stood
there might have felt that one day
ia the near future his own bier
would esurrouuded by his old
associates and he might be gree
ted with the reVeille. Possibly
the strangers who watched the
ceremony might have realiz ID
that an old foe was being laid
away who had fought 10 the
army banded against their own
people; but it was touch of na-
ture which made the whole
orld akin.It was a mingliug of
tears by friends and former enc
mies;it was a scene not without
it's suggestions and its sadness

Taft's Friends Accept
FOrakeT'S Challenge
Will Make it Distinct Contest fol
Senate and Presidency.

Cincinnati, O., March 30.-In
reply to the statement made pub
lie by Senator J B. Forsaker
few days ago, Chas. P. Taft, pro-
prietor and editor of the Cincln-
natl Times-Star, gave out the fol-
lowing statement today in behalf
of his brother, secretary of War
Taft:
Senator Forsaker's statement
indicates that he is running for
the presidency and for the Sena-
torship. The friends of Secre-
tary Taft are urging him for the
Presidency. As the Senator has
included the two Offices in this
primary cont e t, Secretary
Taft's friends accept the propo-
sition and will make it distinct
contest; Taft for the Presidency
or Senatorship, or Foraker for
he Presidency or Senatorship
IF the Republicans of Ohio by
their votes at the primaries indi-
cate that they prefer Foraker for
the Presidency or Senatorship,
Secretary Taft is eliminated
from the situation.
IF the people of Ohio indicate
ISecretary Taft for the Preslden'
cy or SenatorsAip, Senator For
aker is eliminated from the poll
tical situation in Ohio. This is
a direct contest between the
friends of the administration
of President Roosevelt and his
opponents. We are willing to
submit it TO the Republican
voters of Ohio, and the soon
err the better.

William Lloyd Garrison.

There was a William Lloyd
Garrison, of Boston, Mass, who
aeitated the race question before
the great Civil War and who had
much to do w h the abolition
move ment which resulted IN
bringing on the war and ended
lin abolishirg slavery. But if our
recollection serves us, he had the
good sense to discourage further
agitation of the r a C e subject
after the war and that in the
course of time he was gathered
to his fathers. Yet the current
news dispatches report that Will
liam Lloyd Garrison presided at
a mass meeting in Boston Sun
day. under the auspices of Nor
ris Brown College of Atlanta,

To protect themselves, their fam

BIG FIGHT ON.
Charleston Blind Tigers Want to
Break Up .Iispensary.

It seems like Gov. Ansel has
stirred up the blind tigers in Char
lesion to such an extent that they
propose to go in the courts. The
Post SAYS the service of the many
injunctions during the past week or
so, restraining dealers from selling
liquor and property owners and
agents from permitting its sale on
their property, is about to result, 1t
is understood, in big legal battle to
test the validity Of the Carey-Coth-
ran act and the issue of these IN
functions.
Attorney J. P. K. Bryan has been
engaged by S. P. Schiadressi, one OF
the parties enjoined. and 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Bryan is to be the
leading counsel in the distinguished
array of legal talent which is to at
tack the dispensary law, as 1t now
stands on the books.
Mr.. Bryan will appear for Schlad-
eressi: John D. Cappelmann for the
Charleston Rifle Club; Logan &
Grace for Riddock & Byrns, and also
for Pat Carroll; Mordecai. Gadsden'
Rutledge and Haygood for the Char
lesion Hotel; George Momeier for
the Turnverein and others. In the
array Of counsel will be lawyers re-
presenting the owners and agents OF
property in which the alleged VIOLA
tions Of the dispensary acts have
taken place.
1t is on account of the property
owners and agents that particular
" strong fight will be made II Is
said that the owners of property can
not be enjoined legally as they have
been under the services of the papers
recently, and the lawyers having
charge of these property interests
will present strong case.

DIES In COURT.
Sudden Death of One of Column
bias Leading Lawyers.
Was Arguing Case at Bar, Excus-
ed Himself for a Moment, Threw
Himself on Lounge and Expired.

Columbia was profoundly shocked
Wednesday morning Of last week
by the sudden death Of Judge An.
drew Crawford, the most eloquent
member Of the Richland bar. VINO
succumed to an attack Of apolexy
while examining a witness in the
circuit court. Ee expired in the
soIlctor's room, just behind the
Judges stand, within seven minutes
after he suffered the stroke, and
just as his physician, Dr.. James H.
Mcintosh, was reaching him.
The distinguished lawyer, was
about SO years old, at the time of
his death, but he was in excellent
health for a man of his years, and
that morning seemed particularly
alert. Only few days ago he re-
marked to a friend how well he was
feeling. how he always so much
more enjoyed life in the fall. He
was under no particular strain this
morning in the court room.
The case he was engaged in was a
small damage suit case of Mrs Nor
ant against the City of Columbia
on account of her property being ov-
erfowed.
He excused himself to his fellow
attorney on the other side, Col J.
Allen Green, and to the presiding
judge, Col. George Johnstone, and,
passing by the clerks desk, said in
his usual gracious manner and with
a smile that he would be out just
moment.
To Sheriff Coleman, who conduct
ed him to a lounge in the solicitors
room, he said he had had a little
trouble with his stomach the night
before, but that he expected to get
relief soon, as some ithia tablets he
had sent out for arrived. In min
ute or so however, he complained of
his heart, said it did not seem to oe
working right, and asked that the
doctor be sent for. Just as the ply
sician started into the building he
crumpled over to one side, gasped
and was gone.
