Settled by Ten Families.
About 800 years ago ten families Of noble
birth came from Spain and settled upon
vast tracts Of land which had been granted
them in this vicinity. by the crown. They
have since controlled affairs. They have
intermarried and raised large families and
have populated the country. Their chill
dren have been educated in the United
States and have been taught the blessings
of liberty, which made revolutionists of
them during the period of Spanish domina-
ton. The aristocrats of Santiago sent
their children to France. Those of Santa
Clara sent theirs to Spain and Germany.
The children of Havana, Matanzas and
Pinar del Rio went to Spain, and you can
trace the influence of the environment Of
their education in their character and their
conduct. Since independence very few
Cubans have gone to Europe for education
The United States is receiving nearly all
of them now Even the most uncompro-
missing Spaniards now send their sons to
New York and their daughters to converts
on Long Island and in New Jersey. The
ten great families Of Puerto Principe, the
Agramontes the Betancourts, the Castillos,
the Cisneros and the rest are still planting
sugar and raising cattle in this province
but the big estates have been divided
among their descendants. Every other man

Trouble in Springfield.

That is certain a bad state of af-
fairs over in Springfield. Some
weeks ago there was a big row on
between the dispensary and anti-dis-
pensary people, and several destruc-
tive fires occurred which were said
to be the outcome Of this feeling.
The next thing to stir up those folks
over there was the shooting Of the
town marshal and a citizen by a
travelling photographer named Flem-
ing, who was also wounded. Only
recently the house which the town
marshal was occupying and in which
he was lying wounded, was set on
fire. There is considerable interest
being taken in the matter, and the
governor ordered Sheriff Dukes to
go to Springfield and make an inves-
tigation.

. VIII. They be Removed?

The judiciary committee Of the
State Senate last week presented the
following resolution, which was un,
animously adopted:
''Be it resolved by the senate, the
house Of representatives concurring.
That in our opinion the directors OF
the State dispensary have violated
the law in the purchase Of liquors
and are liable to removal by the
governor and prosecution; that it be
referred to the governor to take
such action as he may deem neces-
sarysand proper in the premises; and
that copy Of this resolution be
transmitted to his excellency the
governor, with a copy Of the testi-
mony taken by the legislative COM
mite on the, affairs of the State dis
pensary, together with their report
thereon.
The resolution was also unani-
mously passed by the house, and the
matter is now up to Governor Ansel.
He stated a few days ago that he
had not yet received a copy Of the
resolution, but he granted a hearing
to J. E. Mcdonald, attorney for
Rawlinson, a member of the board.
The entire board should be removed
as we'll as prosecuted.

Verdicts For the Seaboard.

COLUMBIA, February Among
the cases tried at the term of court
in Lexington now in session were the
cases of Magill Brothers against the
Seaboard Air Line Railway, J. w.
Connor against the Seaboard Air
Line Railway and H. w. Connor
against the Seaboard Air Line Rail
way.
It will be recalled that these three
cases were tried at the spring term
1906 of the court Of common pleas
for Lexington county, Judge Hy.
drick presiding, and resulted in
small verdicts for the plaintiffs. The
plaintiffs attorneys moved for a
new trial on the ground that i'm
proper influence had been brought
to bear upon the jury by w. G.
Johnston, who is a claims adjuste1
in the employ of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway. Judge Hydrick grant
ed the motions and ruled Johnston
for contempt. The cases were again
tried this week and in each instance
the jury returned a verdict for the
defendant.
The alleged improper influences by
Johnston caused a great deal of com
ment by the press of this State at
that time. The result of the trials
this week vindicates the railway. Mr..
Johnston had strong afidavits from
prominent people of every class, in.
cluding county officers, members of
the Senate and House, ministers,
attorneys and farmers of Hampton
county, to the effect that. he was a
man of high character.
Mr.. Johnston has lived in Hampton
county all of his life.

Echoes From "Merry Three Mlle.''

I:have not seen anything in your
columns in some time from this Sec
ton, so have decided to write a few
lines to your valuable paper, to let
the "outside' world know that we
are moving along in the same old
way.
Many of our young folks are away
at the different colleges, fitting
themselves for positions in life;
others have launched on matrimo-
NAL seas, which Of course, makes it
sad for the few that are left, but at
times we are tempted to believe
''there is life in the old land yet"
wedding bells'' will again sound
their happy notes on next Wednes-
day afternoon at the home of MIR. l..
A. Brabham, when his daughter,
Miss Adelaide will be united in mar
riage to Mr.. Manning Johnson, of
Ellenton. These notes will be a
mell of sadness to many, for one
will be taken from our midst which
has won the love of all. But we
wish for them both a life Of hap
piness, and that the clouds will only
be sufficient to temper the glare of
the sun.
The White Point school is moving
along smoothly, under the manage
ment of Mrs. Baker. We are look
ing forward to an entertainment the
last of February and we hope to
have O. B. Martin with us on that
occasion.
Miss Anabel Boynton, of Ulmers,
is teaching the Camp Hill school.

Too Much Truth.

The Burlington News says the edi-
{ tor of an Indian paper became tired
OF being called a liar so he announc-
cd that he would tell the truth in the
future. The first issue thereafter
contained the following:
John Bonin, the LATEST merchant
In town, made a trip to Bellville
Tuesday. "
John Coyle, our groceryman, is
doing poor business. His store is
dirty, dusty and noxiously odorife-
rous. How can he expect to do
much?''
Rev. Styx preached last Saturday
night on charity The sermon was
punk
Dave Sankey died at his home
at this place. The doctor gave it out
as heart failure. The fact is he was
drunk, and whiskey is what killed
him"
Married Miss Sylvia Rhodes and
James Conhan, last Saturday even
ing at the Baptist parsonage. The
bride is a very ordinary town girl
who doesn't know any more than a
jack-rabbit about cooking and never
helped her mother three days in her
! life. She is not beauty by any
means, and has a gait like a fat
duck. The groom is well known as
an up-to-date loafer. He's been
living off the old folks all his life and
don't amount to shucks. They will
have hard life.''
The paper had no sooner reached
the public than a committee was sent
to him bearing a petition asking him
to continue in the good old way, and
stated that they believed him to be a
truthful and honest man.
