GIVEN JUSTICE AT LAST.
The orangeburg Lutheran Church to
Be Paid War Claim.

A special dispatch from Washing

the House took up the omnibus war
claims bill Friday and passed the on
ly South Carolina item n 1t, which
was for the benefit of the trustees
of the German Lutheran Church OF
Orangeburg, the amount being $685.

AS Orangeburg is in Representative
Levers district credit should be CIV
en- him for getting the bill passed by
the House. IN a short time the
amount above stated will be paid to
the trustees of the church.
While the bill was under discus
sion a long wrangle ensued because
Representative who had items pend
ing which were left out claimed that
thew should have been incorporated
in the bill as it was reported to the
House.
Amendments which were offered to
that effect, however, failed and the
ported. 1t is probable that other
claims will be passed later If put in
the Senate.
This is tardy act Of justice on
the part of the government, but it is
better late than never, and we con.
gratulate the Lutheran Congregation
on getting a settlement with the
United States for the use of their
church building right after the war

THE OTHER FIRE.
The Residence of MIR. P. w. Cant.
-. ,;swell Burned Down. @i


About FIVE O'Clock on last Friday
morning the residence Of Mr.. P. w.
Cantwell, OH the corner, Of Middle
ton and Market streets, was discov-
cred to be on fire. When discovered
the fire had made such progress that
the building and practically all its
contents were consumed. When dis
covered the flames were coming
down the wall near the chimney and
the room was soon filled with smoke
and the inmates had to flee for their
lives.
BY the time the fire department
reached the scene the entire build
ing was in flames, and nothing could
be done except to prevent spread of
the fire, which was gallantly done.
The residence of Officer Segrest caught
but by hard and effective work 1t
was saved. This house was right
next door to the Cantwell home, and
it took good work to save it.
Mr. Cantwell had some insurance,
but just how much we did not learn.
Mr. Segrest had his furniture badly
damaged by water, but had no in
surance. The origin of this fire
seems to have been accidental

Mr.. W. H. Redish, Postmaster of
Branchville, died on last Friday. Mr..
Redish served through the Confeder-
ate war, was a member Of the Wal
lace house and was very prominent
about that time, he taking a very
prominent part in the organization
of that house. Mr.. Redish held the
postoffice there under both Republi-

which is an evidence of his popular
ity in this section. Mr.. Redish had
a great many friends throughout the

,Orangeburg is having her full share
of fires this year: The fire loss al
ready amounts to about four times
what it did during the whole of last
year. There seems to be no doubt
about the origin of the other fires,
but there is considerable doubt
about this one, and it should be thor
investigated. Aside from the
loss sustained by Messrs. Pike & Co.,
who had just opened lot of new
Spring goods, and the others who
suffered from the fire, it should be
Investigated thoroughly to prevent a
recurrence of such a dastardly thing,
if it was the act of an incendiary, as
many believe.
The fire department certainly COW
cred itself with glory in stopping
this fire where it did. BY its heroic
work it practically confined the fire
in the building where it originated,
and even that was not allowed to be
more than half destroyed. The dam
age to the adjacent buildings was
very slight. The block on which the
fire occurred is the most congested
part of the business section of the
city, and had it not been for the
efficient work OF the fire fighters a
considerable area of Orangeburs;
would be in ruinsstoday. Gentlemen,
of the fire department, we again
thank you on behalf Of the people
OF Orangeburg for the grand work
you did on Saturday night. No fire
department in the world could have
surpassed it. u" aS'F

The State Board Of Canvassers.
This case grew out Of the dispen-
sary election in Kershaw County
some months ago. The opponents OF
the dispensary won, and the election
was declared in their favor by the
County Board Of Canvassers. Those
in favor Of the dispensary contested
the election before the State Board
of CanvaSsers on the ground that
certain persons were allowed to vote
without registration certificates and
that the secrecy of the ballot was
destroyed. The fact upon which the
latter allegation was based was that
two ballot boxes were provided and
used at each place in the county;
upon one Of the boxes were the
words, For Sale" and on the other
box the words Against Sale" On
this showing the State Board of Can
vassers reversed the County Board
of Canvassers and declared the elec-
ton null and void.
The case was then taken on appeal
to the State Supreme Court by the
opponents of the dispensary. After
hearing the case the court sustained
the State Board of Canyassers. The
opinion Of the court was delivered by
Chief Justice Pope. In speaking Of
the allegation that certain persons
were allowed to vote without regis
tration certificates, he says; How
ever, If this be the only irregularity
in the election we do not think 1t
necessarily follows that it must be
set aside. The finding Of the county
board which was not reversed by the
State board, was to the effect that
even if these were declared Illegal,
nevertheless the result would not be
changed, nor even made doubtful.
The universal weight Of authority Is
to the effect that where the result Of
an election Is not made doubtful nor
changed, that irregularities or ille-
galities in the absence of fraud will
mot cause the expressed will of the
body Of voters to be set aside, unless
Il constitutional provision is violated,
or it is specifically provided by leg
islative enactment that such irregu-
larity or illegality shall invalidate
the election.
After defining at some length what
constitutes secrecy Of the ballot,
Chief Justice Pope concludes his
opinion in the following language:
"Of course, If the election is prop
erly conducted, and the eector vol
unfairly puts aside his privilege of
secrecy, the case IS entirely different.
The point is he must be allowed the
privilege. While in this particular In
stance it is possible that no evil re-
suits followed from the mode in
which the election was conducted,
yet we cannot be unmindful Of the
fact by those general principles of
law and policy that will enable us
to determine future litigation under
the election laws of the State con-
sistently. With such principles in
vicw, we are compelled to declare the
election here under consideration
void" All the Justices of the SUI
IRENE Court concurred in this oDin-
ion.

bune. 1t is called Morbus Sabbath
Gus. or Sunday sickness. The attack
comes on suddenly on every Sunday,
no symptoms are felt ON Saturday
night; the patient sleeps well wakes
up feeling well eats hearty break
fast, but about church time the at
tack comes on and continues until
ccrvices are over for the morning.
Then the patient feels easy and eats
a harty dinner. In the afternoon
he feels much better, and is able
to take walk, talk politics and read
the Sunday papers. He eats hear
ty supper, but, about church time he
has another attack. He retires early,
sleeps we'll, and wakes up Monday
morning refreshed and able to go
to work, and does not have any sym
ptoms of the disease until the fol-
lowing Sunday.

SHOULD Be Needed.
Miss Mary Nance Pleads For Bet
ter Country Schools
And Better Paid Teachers in Both
City and Country Schools as Well
as Better Equipment.

as Better Equipment.
Miss Mary Nance, President of the
State School Improvement Associa-
ton, made an address at the Court
house in this city on Saturday morn
ing to a number of teachers and
others. 1t is pity that every school
trustee and parent in the county did
not hear Miss Nance, as she is doing
much to improve the rural schools,
and she needs their sympathy and
support in the grand work in which
she is engaged. She talked hard
sense for about one hour and was
given close attention.
Among other, much needed re-
forms In our school system, Miss
Nance pleaded for better pay for our
school teacher. She very correctly
said the. salaries now received by the
average school teacher is far too
small. They should at least receive
SIS or $50 per month. They who
have charge of the training Of the
children; who in large measure
make the man or woman out of the
child. moulding their character,
should be better paid. The teacher
is something more than person who
teaches lesson to a child, they mean
much to community, and their pay
should be sufficient to warrant them
to keep abreast of the times, and to
instill into that community the best
! that can be had in educational lines
To every word Of which The Times
and Democrat wishes to add its most
hearty amen. Miss Nance also plead
ed for better school buildings and
equipment in the country, where
many Of our brightest men and wo-
men are raised and educated Not
such buildings as are to be found in
the town, but comfortable buildings
neat and attractive in every way. She
said every white child should be In
the schools, and that an effort ought
to be made to get those children in
the schools who do not attend now.
She gave some interesting statis-
tics about the white and colored
school children ard pleaded for more
universal education, but was agin"
compulsory education, and rejoiced
that the House had killed the COM
pulsory education bill. She was rath-
er caustic about the giddy girls who
go from point to point with view
of matrimonial alliance and are
much more interested in buggy
ride in the afternoon than in the
welfare and progress of her children
during school hours. The patrons
and trustees Of the schools also re-
ceived rap or two in passing.
Miss Nance is good looking and q
good talker, and does not hesitate
to express herself. She paid some
of the schools Of this county praise,
but said some Of them needed mark
ed improvements, which she hoped
would soon be made. She spoke in
the most corplimentary manner of
city schools and spoke in high terms
Of the excellent work being done by
Superintendent Thackson and his ex-
cellent corps Of teachers. All who
heard Miss Nance were pleased with
her address.

From the time the store was clos
ed, about ten o'clock, to the time the
fire was at it's worst, about one
o'clock, is only three hours, and in
that time it certainly made wonder
full progress. This has led MANY TO
believe that the fire was of incendiary
origin, and that it was set in that
part of the store where it would burn
the quickest. The store may have
been entered from the rear by
thieves, who after robbing it, set fire
to the interior of the store The rapid
progress of the fire from the back to
he front of the store indicates that
there must have been powerful
draft from the back door, which
might have been left open by the In
