VIII Assist in Cagins Tigers

The recent legislature passed law
that should be helpful 10 the dry pre-
ciucts of this county in caging the
blind tigers that infest the MONDAY
and make the nights hideOus with
drunken revelry.
And there are some places where
this law will be invoked as soon as
its provisions become known.
The law is known as chapter $500,
and amends section 1855 of the gene
raj statutes and reads as follows:
Selling liquor in counties or pre-
cincts voting against such sale
Whoever sells or causes to be sold
any spirituOus, vinous or malt liquors
in any county or precinct which has
voted against the sale of such liquors
under the provisions of article 10 Of
the constitution of the state of Flor
ida, shall be punished by imprison-
ment not exceeding one year or by
fine not more than one thousand dol
lars. and the cost and expenses of
the prosecution and conviction in
each case shall include fifty dollars
which shall be paid to the person fur
nishing the testimony upon which
the conviction is secured, and when
such expenses and costs including
the sum to be paid to the person fur
nishing the testimony aforesaid can"
not be collected from the person or
persons who may be convicted under
the provisions of this act, the same
shall be paid by the county in which
such conviction is had, as in other
cases"
The same law provides payment
to any one furnishing evidence to
any person of selling liquor
without license.

What Whisky Did.

john Smith, a hitherto peaceable
negro of Welaka. is in Jail with a
sure penitentiary sentence in pros
pect, aud all because of whisky.
What whisky did for this negro is
best told by G. C. Alvers, the we'll
known naval stores operator. who
helped arrest him. AlVers says that
Smith was drunk ar Sisco Saturday
evening, ana when the train drew up
at that station, Smith threw a bottle
through the car window, the broken
glass of which struck a passenger
Mrs Oglesby of Monroe Junction
in the face, cutting her in a frightful
manner, and SO badly that for time
it was thought she might bleed TO
death.
J. w. Coe a special agent of the A.
c. L. and a deputy sheriff of the
county, with the assistance of Mr..
Alvers, run down Smith and brought
him to Jail Tuesday night.
Mr.. Alvers states that Smith has
always borne good reputation, and
that whisky alone is the cause of his
present sorry predicament.

The Warehouse.

The cotton warehouse bids fair to be
an assured fact. The meeting last Sat
urdav showed about $4,000 subscribed,
and everything was IN readiness to or
eanize and elect directors, but the
notice that was published called for
the books of subscription to be opened
on the 26th, and it was decided that 1t
would be best to resclnd that notice
and fix the time for the books OF sub
scription to be opened tomorrow, and
then have meeting for the purpose
organizing and electing directors
Saturday, 18th, instant. Therefore the
meeting next Saturday will be import
ant to everybody who has subscribed
to the stock of the warehouse, ana II
should De well attended. This ware
house project must be pushed to sue
cess, conditions demand one. and every
merchant in this town should be SUB
scriber to the stock. As soon as the
list is complete we shall make puollc
the names Of the subscribers to this
stock so that the people who are in
vited here to trade can see what mer-
chants deserve any part OF their patron
age. We contend if there is merch-
ant in the town of Manning so lacking
in public spirit that he will not con-
tribute to something intended to- help
theltown's trade conditions, does not de-
serve patronage, and he should be
made to feel the effect of his little,
narrow, contemplate sel6sbness. We
are tired of leeches sucking the life
blood out of the commercial body of this
town. The town has suffered long
enough from the spirito selfshness. We
are opposed to the drastic principle oil

Loved Colored Girl.

Blacksville, S. c., July 9.-Further
deyelonments in the case of Rev. c. ".
Billings, recently deposed from The
from the pastorate OF the baptlst
church here are of the effect that this
drastic action came as the result OF a
report which had been circulated about
Billings conduct with his chamber
maid. a neat colored girl, who had
been in his employ for several years.
The story was generally reported on
the minister recently, but the positive
proof of the charge was not secured till
letters by the preacher, which were
read at the church conference yester-
day, to the negro girl, who had tled to
Bamberg, S. c.. cleared away the least
yestise of doubt and made those who
had been the preachers friends shud
der with the horror and debaSement OF
his conduct, the like of which was
never before known in this community.
These letters addressed to the negro
girl at Bamberg told, in many terols OF
endearment, of the love the minister
bore for her, that he could not live
without her presence, and that in order
to be with her at all times he would
leave his home, lis wife and BIS
friends, and go with her even to death.
Before coming to Blackville Billings
preached at Waynesville, n. c., Tim
monsyille, Paxville and Walterboro,
S. c., and other places. Reported
trouble of nature similar to that here
was circulated on the man at Waynes-
vile.
Billings married and invalid wife in
North Carolina and to them was born a
bov. who is still small. The physical
condition of his wife and the youth OF
the child greatly increase the eno:mity
of the otfense against society and the
church.
