dispatch from Greenwood to The
News and Courier says Butler Pinson.
known as "Bub," is charged with
making an attempt to kill his father
and step-mother, Mr.. ard Mrs. b. p.
Pinson, as they lay asleep early on
Tuesday morning, firing both barrels
or gun at them, and when only
about eight feet away from them.
That Mr.. and Mrs. Pinson are living

for the load of shot entered the head
OF the bed, only few inches above
their heads, and some of the shot
were found imbedded in the pillows,
on which their heads rested.
Mr.. b. NJ. Pinson lives about a
mile AMI half southeast of Saiuca,
and within about four hundred yards
of Sloan Church. He is well-to-do
farmer. and is numbered among
Greenwood County's most substantial
citizens. he being man of about So
NNoi VI d6t.
"Bub," however, seems to bear a
pretty bad reputation, having lived a
very profligate life, living the greater
part of the time away from home.
Young Pinson's motive is unknown,
but his father, the elder Pinson, him
self thinks that the boy, knowing
that no one knew he was in this part
of the country, decided that he
would kill both himself and Mrs. Pin
son, and that he would then share
the estate with his brother, Richard,
being hard pressed for funds. Mr..
Pinson had only lately refused to
grant his request for money.
Young Pinson made his escape, but
Sheriff Mcmillan is making every ef-
fort to catch him, and has sent out
the following description of Pinson
all over the country: Arrest Butler
Pinson; charge. attempt to murder;
color. white, age twenty-siX
years, height 5 feet. inches, weight
100 pounds. Said to have missing

Selling Booze or Go to Jail for
Contempt of Court.
AFTER BLIND TIGERS
Court InjunctiOns Will be Pushed and
an Earnest Effort Made to Stop
the Illegal Sale of Liquor-Gov.
Ansel Will Authorize the Attorney
General TO Proceed cas- Supreme
Court Gives the Right.

What will be done now that the
supreme court has sustained the in
junction policy as applied to blind
tigers? This question has suggested
itself to great many people II the
last two doys. Gov. Ansel himself
declines to talk, and Attorney General
Lyon is out of the city" says the
Columbia State.
But il Is reported that Mr.. Mar
shall p. DeBruhl, assistant attorney
general, has been given batch OF
of injunction affidavits and has been
ordered by Governor Ansel to pro-
ceed against the places regarded as
blind tigers 1t is said that among
these cases are five right here in
Columbia and that Capt. Il T.. Dixon
has been given orders 10 eujoin not

again toleratng the Illicit sale of Ii
quor on the premises ,uch sale con-
stituting a nuisance under the Carey
Coihran act and suhje" ing the prop
erty to he handled in injunction pro-
ceedings.
1t is believed that Gov. Ansel will
now push the iniunctions against
bling tigers in Charleston-and in
other cities where they may exist
and by this drastic measure drive
these people out of an unlawful bus
mess.
when Gov. Ansel was a candidate
for governor he received nearly IS
per cent. of the otes in Charleston
county Some time after he assumed
his official duties there was some
talk to the effect that Charleston
was getting more and more wide
open depending upon Gov. Anscl's
political friendship. When this mat
tention he inquired of the attorney
general If there were any way effect
ually to go after the blind tigers.
Mr.. Lyon suggested the injunction
method. This was approved by the
Governor and the State disuensary
auditor, Mr.. w. B. West, was sent
to Charleston to work up evidence
against suspects. The dispensary
constabulary was used and upon af-
fdaits thus obtained the attorney
general issued injunctions closing a
number of liquor shops in Charles
| ton
"An appeal was taken 70 the sill
preme court and the court decided in
favor of the injunctions. Mr.. LyoT
had been advised by Gov. Ansel tc
suspend tho enjoining proceedings
until the court should act. Mr.. De
Bruhl. it is stated, has received in
structions that as the court has sus
tanned the injunctions the work
should be pushed.
1t is said that in Charleston wheI
a law breaker was enjoined from
selling liquor he would move hi'
place to the upper story OF the same
building and conduct the business ii
his cherk's name. Mr.. Lyon will nov
issue injunctions against propert.
owners also. These injunctions ar,
perpetual, and the punishment i
sure"

o. tnree years will follow the ex-
ample of Georgia and the coming
winter even will bring forth many
Legislative amendments. Let us
hope that the pendulum will not go
again to the extreme, but that the
evils sought to be remedied may be
still kept in view, while extreme
measures are modified.
Idaho democrats who bolted the
Twin Falls convention are likely to
not be seated in the Wallace con-
vention, the question Of their regu-
lar!ty being made an issue by the
Dubois faction. This will leave the
control of the Wallace convention
largely in the hands of the follow.

the terms on which the boilers may

plotting the anti-Mormon issue.

Crack Organization.

The Lewiston Military band, the
crack amateur organization OF the
Northwest, that has delighted the
people for the past six years, was
disba nded last night by the action
of the band organization. The dis
bandment is the result of a lack Of
proper support. During the years
of the band the members have Ia

for the past few months the sub

Efforts are being made today to
place the band subscription upon a

this secured the matter will be
taken up with the band members to
secure a reorgs nization of the body.

REACTION IN GEORGIA.

Evidence is not wanting that the
reaction is now coming from the ex-
treme and radical movement of a
couple of years ago against the rail-
ways. Like pendulum, public
opinion swings from one extreme to
the other. Only a few years ago
the people in their extreme friend
Illness to the roads, were willing to
mortgage everything they possessed
tn benefit the roads. OF late years,
when the roads began to show big
profits, the people went to the other
extreme and following the cry Of
robbers in nearly every state, OPP
pressive and extreme laws were
passed which beat down the stock
quotations at once.
Now calmer judgment is begin
ming to prevail, and there is feel
ing that 1t is folly to kill the goose
