Isle of Spice.

B. C. Whitney's company Of over oo
people will be seen at the auditorium
Saturday evening, March :, in the i, mu-
steal extravaganza, Isle of Spice. rms
production has created name for 1t.
self throughout the country. 1t is SAID
that this extravaganza caused a sensa.
ton in Chicago where it ran for zzl
nights. 1t was then taken to Boston,
where at the Globe theatre, it delight
ed music loving audiences for four sol
id months, and thence to New YORK
city, at the Majestic theatre, it quickly
established itself as prime favorlte
among the metropolitan theatre goers,
remaining at that play house for four
months. Absolute novelty IS CLAIMED
for the construction Of this muslcal
comedy, and the\ chorus numbers are
said to be marves of stage invention.
The musical numbers are of the sing
able, whistleable kind, and there is no !.
doubt but what the most catchy OF
them will be heard on the streets long
after the engagement here. Among
the most attractive features OF the Isle
of Spice is a pony ballet, composed OF
10 little girls, not weighing over one
thousand pounds for the entire lot, whQ
do some clever work throughout the en-
tire performance.

Discussing the Railroads.

While waiting for q turn In the BARRIERS
chair a few days ago, we were interested In 6
conversation which two drummers had. Thu
Legislatures in general and Hoke Smith o.
Georgia, especially, were roasted for theil
warfare on the railroads.. As q result OF up.
friendly legislation the drummers agreed the
roads were compelled to reduce the number
of trains. They wanted the trains. They
made nothing while waiting TO get away
from a town. They cared nothing for the
little difference In the cost of q passenger
ticket. The saving 10 them was a trifie com
pared 10 the lost time since the taking off OF
trains. The travel of the country was chile fly
by business men in the different lines, and
to them time was g great object. And the
reduction OF the lumber of trains had thrown
many coed men out OF employ nent. and the
oppression OF the railroads had forced the
reduction in the wages of thousands of rail-
road men.
AS q rule, farmers were more interested In
growing something With which to load
freight trains, than In the price OF a tick ell
which they seldom bought. They thought
unfrIendly legislation was TO ruin the rail-.
roads which had built up and developed the
best interests Of the country.

Should BE Honest aud Fair.

Any malicious effort 10 destroy the good
name of the gentlemen who have accepted
places as receivers of the dispensary money
will hardly avail In the end. AS a rule, we
believe the character OF the receivers to be
every bit as goo1, as high, and as honorable
as Is the character of a defamer. The abuse
Of these gentlemen, 1t occurs TO US, came from
a fear hat the Supreme Court of the United
States may not approve of the States effort
to shirk payment for the goods which brought
he $4,000 into the hands of the States Off
GERS, agents, or employees. We believe in
that degree OF oentral!Z alton that would pre-
| ventany State from refusing to ply Its debts.
or that would enable q State TO shirk respon-
slbility. for participation In any rascality.
As we understand, the States agents agreed
TO pay, or did pay. an excessive price for
liquor. The State put that liquor on sale at a
correspondingly increased cost. and after re-
ceiving the excessi We charges from the people
who bought the liquor, the state now wants
to keep the profits on It's excessive charges,
and wants to escape payment for the booze.
1t is a profitable business II the State crn
promise a big price for the liquor, and then
sell 1t 10 Its citizens at a still higher price, and
then by the majesty OF the State, under the
claim OF States rights. refuse to pay for the
liquor.
had a monopoly, could raise the price, and
then seek a technicality TO evede pa ment
for the goods whose sale made him rich.

All Expressing Opinion.

Quite q number OF brethren Of the State
Press are expressing opinions as to Judge
Pritchard's recent order appointing receivers
for the dispensary money now on deposit Ia
various banks OF the State, and the trend Of
opinions would condemn Judge Prltchsrd for
what they term Interference with the States
rights.
The editor Of the Press and Banner person.
ally cares very little about the matter ont
way or another, but our feeling is 10 sustain
Judge Pritcbard. We believe 1t is a maxim
of law that he who expects equity must him
self come into court with clean hands. Does

pa y is evidence OF clean hands, then the State

TO refuse TO pay for the liquor which
brought the money Into the treasury II
scarcely less honest or less honorable ibaL
was tn e act OF the Legislature which repudi.
ated the bonds which the Democrats issueo
before the war to build the magnificent State
house, which stands as a testimonial OF the
manner In which the great State deals With
its creditors.
Speaking for our own self, We are in favor
OF such centralzipg OF government, as will
require a State 10 be honest, or 10 pay Its
debts. even as the State REQ uires the individ-
ual TO pay his debts. The same law shoulC
apply 10 a State that Is applied 10 an individ-
ual, and We think both should be made tt
pay their debts. This being true. our sympa-
thy Is with Judge Pritchard In appointing re-
Gel Vers for the money that belongs 10 the
creditors OF the State, and which was put
there by IL 9 sale Of the goods for which tn,
State now tries 10 eyade payment. We hope
therefore that the State may be made TO pay
for its share in any r~ascality in which 1t was
a party.

Slig hi ST. al of Condemnation.

Some days ago the Columbia State said:
"Why was Berry B. Mobley shot 10 death
IN a train In Lancaster county by Grover
Welsh? There was no personal conflict; 10
-udden heat and passion. Mobley was going
10 consult his attorneys who were TO defend
Tim for the Staying OF a brother OF Welsh's.
The living Welsh, conversant with the gener-
al criminal history OF South Carolina, and
| The local history of Lancaster county, had no
reason tn believe that Mobley would be pun
rshed. And he had reason TO believe that II
he assumed the role OF avenger he would mt
be punished by the law. So the failure Of the
law melted Welsh TO STAY his brothers slayer;
the failure of the law encouraged him 10 do
so without fear Of map-infilcied punishment.
rhe CD ly escape from feud and anarchy is
through the en- Increment OF the law. judges
cannot too frequently BANNER that into the
l%juries."
We do not copy this With a purpose to cast
any stones al South Carolina, for under the
same condition OF facts OF what OF our stats
could not the same things be sale? How
p~arison OF our homicide statistics with the
statistics OF legal observation-disclosures OBJ
server.
All the more deplorable Is this situation
when every individual with a reasonable
amount OF common sense 40 we'll understands
that a few just verdicts from juries against
white offenders Of various kinds will serve
as an infallible corrective.-Iork1i lille En-
quirer.
1t is idle to talk about juries convioting
anybody as long as the Judges on the oench
lean 30 much to mercy, and as long as they,
In cases OF con ~victlon, give the necessary
new trials to secure an acquittsl.
The judges In giving easy, cheap. or low
ball TO murderers set a very slight seal OF
condemnation on murder.
In the general chapter OF accidents 1t is fair
to assume that onc-half CT the man slayers
ought TO be hanged, and 1t may be set down
as safe TO hang any man who has no better
self-defense than the claim that his victim
tn rev his hand behind his back.
Again: No man should have the right 10
claim self.deiense after he has provoked bis
victim to threaten to strike him.
Ifone-half OF the manslayers were hanged,
and four-hfths OF the other half were sent to
the penitentlary life would be safer in South
Carolina.

Death Of Mrs. Grier.

J Inasmuch as Mrs. Mamie NJ. Grier WAS
closely connected with Ersklne College
through her husband, the late DR.. w. M.
Grier, beloved president OF the institution
/, for more than twenty-five years; and In
, ssmuch also as she was q woman OF q pre-.
] eminently lovable and worthy character,
|. therefore we, the faculty and students Of
] Erskine College, desire 20 express publicly
appreciation of her worth n our
sense OF loss in her death.
\ We feel that the College has lost q warm
! and earnest friend-a friend whose kindly
interest In the students OF the College
showed Itself both In her home n in
|, whatever other place she met them, and
! that continued TO show itself after the
death OF her husband az we'll as before.
We wish further to express our admira-
|. ton for her fine Christian character. At
J the death of her husband the sympathy
of the whole town and of all who loved
J Erskiue College WAS profoundly stirred !;
|. and the Christian resignation with which
! she bore her great sorrow served both TO
Intensity and to sanctify that sympathy.
} sorrow seemed to develop more fully IN
her the graces OF the Spirit 30 that, as
! time passed by, she grew more and more
gently, aud her life more and more persue-
sive by lis example. Such q life Is a benz
diction to all those who come under its In
! fuence, aud therefore we feel that both
the town and the College have suffered q
great loss in the death OF Mrs. Grier.
AS still further expression OF our respect
] and sympathy we have suspended college
exercises from noon till after the fun raj
J Wednesday. and we send q copy OF our
. resolutions to the family OF the deceased.
J We also request The Presbyterian and
The Ersklniap to publish them.

=. Seen From Different Viewpoints.

Onr respected friend kicker" registers @
or.st bip kick in the matter OF certain pro-
posed cement sidewalks to be laid by The CITY
council. While much that he says may be
plausible, y et in fact we think be is IN error
The Council having done SO lhuch ior tne
improvement of the town, and without IL
cresslng the taxes, that we are irciiheo "
think that they are right even Ia laying Tue
cement sidewalk TO which objection ls maze
These are some OF the reasons why We
would be likely 10 support the Couhcll III
whatever they are apt TO do.
FIrst-We believe the members OF the
Council, as individuals, cannot be otherwise
than interested IN the growth and prosperity
of The city. Ii we are not In error, each anu
every one of them has invested his estate I'D
realty In the incorporate limits. Seli-interest
If nothing else, would prompt them 10 WorR
for the welfare of the Town..
Second-As TO the sidewalks In question:
The owners OF the property on both sloes OF
street, nave given land to widen the street
which Is bound to be OF more or less value
10 the city. AS W. understand, Mr.. Long has
moved back his fence the present width Oh the
side walk on his side OF the street. In order
10 straighten and further widen that street
Mr.. ]. Allen Smith has consented 10 move
hack his fence ranging from thirteen down 10
two feet, and TO give 10 The town the lano
which Ia uncovered by the removal OF biz
fence.
Third-Ifthe City Council had attempted IL
hnv the land 10 widen and improve the
street, the cost OF the land would nave
amounted TO a considerable sum. 1t Is fall
to estimate the land SO given at from s2o 10
$50 a front foot, counting the front on Maln
Street.
Fourth-The amount thus saved would go q
long way tow ard paying the city's hall OF the
cost OF the cement sidewalk.
Firh-The owners OF the land fronting on
the sidewalk In question agree TO advance
the full cost OF the cement sidewalk. with the
understanding that the city, when In funds'
and can do so conveniently, will repay one
half the actual cost OF the cement pavement.
AS a matter OF fact, we think the city never
had q more energetic or a more enthusiastic
council In the work of building up the
town.
At present their energy is directed chiefly
10 the building Of the city hall, which Will De
a pride to them and an honor TO the city ior
years after this generation shall have passed
away. The building, when finished and fur
nished, It Is estimated will cost over $4,000
1t is further estimated. that by the beginning
of a new year, the debt will be reduced to
$4,000. All this without increasing the rate
of taxation to the amount OF one cent.
By economical management and good
judgment the Council will turn over to tn
city a magnificent building that Is equalled IN
splendor only by the new court house.
We believe the names OF every member o.
the Council should be engraved in a mural
tablet of lasting metal, and placed as a memo
rial to the progressive spirit Of the builders
which memorial should also be as O testi
monial of a peoples gratitude.
