The Circus and the Arabian steed.

Homer Davenport, fresh from the.
Arabian desert, where he journeyedl
in the interests of the WoMANs
HOME COMPANION, skaters another
fond delusion Of our circus days. He
tells us in an article, THE Arab,
Horse in Legend and Story, . appear.
ing in the April WoMAN's HOME
COMPANION, that the piebald horses
utilized in the tented shows are not
Arabs at all, but are products OF the
domestic field. But here is the trag-
ic story in his own words:
"Circuses are perhaps more to-
blame for the misrepresentation of
te hArab horse than any other source.
A friend Of mine owns circus, and
I saw his posters few years ago,
claiming to exhibit eighteen or twen-
ty of the only Arabian horses brought
to America. He said they were cap
tured with great difficulty, and
brought to New York by special
permit of the Sultan; that they were
of the family known in history as the
Eagle Feather Horses, so much prizr
ed in the Queen ofSheba's days; that
they were snow white, with big mark
ings in their spots of the tip of eagle
feathers. We don't have to believe
everything we read on the circus pos
ters. In this case am mighty GER;
tain these spotted Arabians' were
bought at Albany, Oregon. The
most peculiar part Of this spotted
horse business is this, and it is not q
very strange reason when you know
it, that spotted anything is created
by a mixture of different races, OF
different breeds, and that likely ac-
counts for the fact that the Arabian
desert in all its history has never
produced a spotted, or piebald horse;
possibly from the fact that there IS
never any mixture of blood"

DR.. w. H. Wiley was reminded by
the pure food law of story.
"A country grocer, he said, was
talking to a throng of customers
about the wonderful sense of touch
that the blind have.
" Here comes old blind Henry
Perkins now," said the grocer.
We'll test him.
"And he took a scoopful of sugar
and extended it to the old man.
Feel this, Henry" he said, land
tell us what it is"
'tThe blind man put his hand in
the SCOOP, passed its contents through
his fingers and said in a firm, conf
dent tone:

Church News.

Rev. Peter Stokes, pastor of the
Methodist church in this city, wrote
the following letter to the Southern
Christian Advocate, and it appeared
in last weeks issue of that paper:
Last Sunday night we held the
closing service of a protracted meet
ing in our church in Bamberg. For
three weeks Brothers Thos. Leitch
and Fred Marshall were with us, and
faithfully did their work. These
men do not spare themselves when
there is work to be done in saving
souls. It is no easy matter for a
man to preach from two to three
times every day and conduct the af-
ter services too. These brethren
have been with me several times,
and believe Brother Leitch preach
es better than ever, and works hard
er than ever to bring people to
Christ.
''The results of this meeting were
large, and l am sure that much Of it
will abide. l suppose that no meet
ing ever results in all that we hope
and pray for, and this is no excep-
ton, but we have so much that was
done to thank God for.
"A large number professed con-
version, and thirty-eight applied for
church membership. A large num-
Der of the older members of the
church testified to the reviving OF
their spiritual lives, and pledged
themselves to better service. The
good effects of the meeting extended
to other churches, and was felt in
the whole town. The young people
were to marked degree helped by
the meeting. The pastor Of the Bap-
tist church was with us from start
to finish, and greatly aided by his
presence and prayers and personal
work. The Baptist church in BAN
berg and in South Carolina was very
fortunate when Brother A. J. Foster
came to this pastorate.
''Our young people are looking
forward with great pleasure to the
coming of the Epworth Leaguers in
their State Conference. We hope to
have the best State Conference of all,
so far.
''The Sunday-school, with Prof. H.
G. Sheridan as superintendent, is
taking on new life. Even before
our good meeting, the attendance
was nearing 200, and now we expect
still larger things. ...-...
There is much to encourage US,
and we thank God for His blessings. "

NEGRO IN HER ROOM.
Young Woman Awakened by Feeling
a Hand on Her Arm.

COLUMBIA, March 23.-John Rich
ardson, a young negro, is in Jail here
under the charge of attempting
criminal assault. Richardson was en-
ployed in the home of a respectable
family in this city, No 699 Taylor
street, and was allowed to sleep in
the kitchen. During last night or
about 2 o'clock this morning one of
the young ladies of the family, Miss
Leila Norton, was awakened by the
passage Of a hand over her arm and
she cried out in alarm. She was
sleeping with her sister and they
soon had the household awake. The
negro escaped through a window,
the means of his entrance, as a
ladder had been placed against the
window. The negro was suspected,
but he was found on his pallet, at
least feigning sleep, if not asleep.
The matter was Investigated at a
private hearing before Recorder
Stanley this morning and, the negro
was sent to Jail to await trial at the
regular term of court on the charge
of attempting criminal assault. He
is from Sumter and says he is about
Is years old, but looks to be older.
The affair has caused no excitement
whatever and was not known to many
persons in the city today.
The negro practically confesses his
intention in entering the room and
the situation looks rather dark for
him.

CAN'T CLOSE DISPENSARY
ATTORNEY GENERAL LYON SAYS
BOARD HAS NO OPTION.
Must Keep Open All Dispensaries in
Operation Under the Old Law.
No Action Taken Yet.

When the dispensaries of Bamberg
County were reopened under the new
liquor law, the stock at the Midway
dispensary was moved to Bamberg and
the dispensary at the former town
discontinued. The new county board
of control did not elect dispenser
for that place, but decided to close
the dispensary at Midway, as it had
never been paying proposition un-
der the old law. This action of the
board met with general approval,
and it had been source of comment
in times past why the Midway dis
pensary was not closed, as it did no
more than pay expenses if that.
But now it seems that the action
Of the board is to be questioned and
the matter may get into the courts.
In Tuesdays daily papers the state
ment is made that Intendant H. w.
Walker, of Midway, wrote the attor-
ney general for his opinion as to the
right of the county board to, close
the Midway dispensary. The attor-
ney generals reply was that if Mid
way was an incorporated town the
action of the county board in closing
the dispensary was illegal. He says
there is no option in the matter, but
that the board must continue all dis
pensaries which were in operation
on February 18th, 1907.
It is not known at this writing
what stepswill be taken by the in
tendant of Midway to get a dispen-
sary open in that town, or whether any
further move will be made.
The county board has not yet had
a meeting, and when we showed the
opinion of the attorney general to
the chairman of the board, he show
ed a disposition to stand pat, and it is
reasonably certain that no dispensary
will be opened there unless through
process of law. The board feels that
they have no right to spend the
money of the tax payers for a dis
pensary at Midway, for they believe
that it will be a losing. proposition.
And they are right. This newspaper
heartily endorses the action of the
board in closing the dispensary at
Midway, and we believe they should
not allow it to be re-opened. If the
attorney generals opinion of the law
is correct, certain it is that the law
is fatally defective at this point, and
in this instance we feel sure they are
exactly right in not following it. II
the board is not to have full authority
over the dispensaries of. county,
there seems no reason for their ap-
pointment. They should certainly
have the right to close a dispensary
when it was losing money.
It is the opinion Of able lawyers
that a county board has the right to
close the dispensaries, for the Carey
Cothran bill plainly says: 'The said
board is hereby authorized and re-
quired to establish dispensary or
dispensaries, as said board may deem
proper, for the sale Of alcoholic
liquors and beverages as herein pro-
vided, and may close any dispensary
so established, except the dispensary
at the county seat, when in their
judgment the public good requires
t.

Alex Adams, white man, has
been arrested at Bennettsville. He
is charged with robbing the, railroad
depots at McColl, Darlington, and

bold robber.
. DR.. w. L. Linder, of Union, white,
was shot in the back in his office
Monday morning by a negro woman.
The, wound is not necessarily fatal.

Charles F. Deal was shot and kill
ed at Blacksburg last Monday by
William Mills. Both parties are

the cause of the killing was the in

that Deal had attacked him with a
knife. Circumstances do not seem
to bear him out, however. There
were no witnesses to the tragedy.
