Biggest Ship Afloat.

The Adriatic, the latest huge new
steamer, says recent New York
dispatch, created more than the usual
stir when she came up the river.
The huge proportions made her
tower above all nearby objects, caus-
ing intense surprise even among
spectators who had seen all the
other big vessels. When she un-
loaded it seemed as though a small
town had been dumped into West
street, and it took great while for
the passengers to get lost in the
crowd. She had on board 1904
passengers, including 700 cabin pas
sengers, and such number poured
into the street at once staggered
people who reflected that they had
been brought over by one vessel.
AS she lay for the week at her berth,
she was visited by great mass of
people, who almost invariably spoke
of her in comparison with the big
sky-scrapers. She is built for COM
fort, and rides the seas with ease
and little motion. Her gait is not
rapid, as she takes seven days, one
hour and forty-five minutes, at the
average speed of 1902 knots an
hour. She got in the harbor all
right, which is comfort, as it was
feared that the leviathan would ex-
perience difficulty in coming in
through the narrow channel.

Again Sentenced to Rang.

Aiken, June 13.--Monday morn
ing James Williams and Isaac
Thompson were for the second time
sentenced to be hanged Friday, July
10 being set for the day of execution.
Williams was convicted last year of
the murder of E. H. Fisher, one of
the most prominent merchants and
farmers of Salley, on Christmas eve,
1905. Thompson was convicted of
the murder of Lizzie Mays, which
murder was committed last year, the
testimony showing that at the time,
one of Thompson's shots hit and
killed John Dooley, all of the parties
being negroes. This affair occurred
in Beech leland. Both these cases
were appealed to the Supreme Court,
which court refused a new trial in
either case. 4

original with DIR. Pierce, and without the

stead In extracting and preserving the
curative virtues residing in the roots
employed, these medicines are entirely
free from tho objection of doing harm
by creating an appetite for either al

drugs. Examine the formula on their
bottle wrappers-the same as yworn to by
DR.. Pierce, and you will find that his

Marriage License Law Needed.

Seeing the need of such law
this newspaper has for some years
advocated the enactment of a mar
riage license law. While the pre-
vailing sentiment in the past has
been opposed to such law, it is now
steadily growing in favor. The day
is not far distant in South Carolina
when some official record will be
made of all marriages and licenses
will be issued therefor.
The conduct of a notary public,
who resided in this State, near the
North Carolina line, very pointedly
and forcibly illustrates tn; Iced of a
license law. A marriage license be-
ing required in North Carolina, it
was the habit of all sorts and condi-
tions of couples, especially runaway
couples, to come over the line into
this State and have Esquire" Bales
tie the knot. He married them
without let or hindrance, never re-
fusing any who had the fee, it mat
tered not how tender their ages or
what parental objections existed.
This promiscuous knot-tying be-.
came nuisance and a menace to So
ciety in Charlotte and Mecklenburg
county. Hence, an outraged people
became so enraged that petitions
were presented to Governor Hey
ward asking that Bales commission
as notary be taken from him, which
was done. But he did not stop. 1t
is alleged that Bales, as a private
citizen, continues to marry runaway
North Carolina couples. The people
of that vicinity are said to be in
dignant because this ex-notary re-
Gently "officiated" at forced mar
riage, the woman alleging that CO..
ercion was used to make her marry

A properly framed marriage license
law would make such conditions as
above set forth impossible in South
Carolina.-Edgefeld Advertiser.

Trial Of tho Idaho Murdsrers.
The trial of Hay wood, Moyer and

The trial of Haywood, Moyer and
Fsttibone at Boise, Idaho, for the
murder of ex. Governor Frank Stuen-
enburg, continues to hold tremendous
interest throughout the country.
The defendants are officers of the
American Federation of Miners. The
principal witness for the State is
Harry Orchard. Orchard has been
on the witness stand for several days,
and it is not expected that his direct
examination will be concluded before
tomorrow. The probability is that
it will be several days before he is
discharged from the witness stand.
Only Haywood is on trial at this
time; but the testimony concerns
the other defendants as we'll. Or
chard is telling horrible story. AS
the employee of the officers of the
Federation he confesses to the MUIR
der at different times of eighteen
men. He tells his story without ap-
parent emotion. He is very positive
in all his statements, and the attor-
neys for the defense have been unable
to trip him up in any particular. On
CROSS. examination he has admitted
lying, stealing, wife desertion, incen-
diarism and other crimes. The CROSS
examination seems to be directed to
the purpose of trying to make it sp-
pear that Orchard was really in the
employ of the mine owners all the
while, and his crimes were committed
with the idea of making it appear
that it was the labor organization
that was guilty of all the lawlessness.
AS matter of fact Orchard has ad.
mitted that he has been traitor to
his employers on more than one oc-
casion.

Old friend, r. s. Rutledge, of
Oconee, is now in charge of the
State Armory. Uncle Bob looks
natural and reminds us of other
days. Let me say he has wrought
wonderful change in this building.
1t looked like pile of junk when he
took charge, and while it was long,
hard job to renovate this old, old
hulk and check up its contents, it's
now in order and is a credit to the
custodian in its true sense, and no
more deserving old soldier could be
found to fill this place, neither could
you find one who takes more interest
in his work than Uncle Bob. May
he live long and prosper and his
shadow never grow less.
One word on the Confederate SOL
diers and the last reunion and / am
done for many days. I am told
$4,000 was appropriated for this re-
union, besides gifts, etc., to same.
Liquid refreshments were furnished
as before and many of the old vets
never got bite, save what they
bought. It's true, by long wait in
the hot sun you could get some soup
and hand.out, I'd call it. The
sleeping was nearly as bad as the
grub and some little "Willie," pass
ing their camp, was asked by another
what all the tents meant. He seemed
to bubble over in his own wit anu
mirth when heianswered, "To put
these old animals in" Many vets
heard this and it went the rounds,
and cut them deep, indeed. Shame
on the Southern boy to speak a word
like this to mar the happiness of this
last remnant of the grandest and
most powerful fighting machine the
world has ever seen-the Confede-
rate soldier. He is in class TO him
self and when the sod rests on the
last of them there will be none to
follow like him. They've quit max.
ing 'em. He may be called an old
animal by such little pimps, but he
split more blood in one battle than
was split in the Spanish war all told,
and his record stands out to-day
pre-eminently, head and shoulders,
above them all as fighter. j. Q. c.
