The Dispensary Opens.

On account Of contests the Dispensary did
not open as advertised last Friday. On Sat-
urday there were many disappointed ones
who came TO town, not for the purpose Of WIS.,
iting the Dispensary. but who wished TO see
II open all the same.
The Dispensary opened Monday morning
Inc did just an ordinary business. There
was no rush, no crowd. The police locked no
one up. Things passed of as usual.
A great number OF the darling women OF
Abbeville are Dispensaryites, but there Is ono
good woman who is not; she is q prohi from
a TO lizard. This good woman unfolded q
tale OF woe that would harrow up your soul'
and ."freeze your red blood" on the results Of
Mondays opening. All the Bacchanalian
jewellers passed her house on Monday. Tam
O'Shanter, followed by all the witches OF the
kirk, bibu lous Burns on Rosenantes, glorious
gin-guzzlers galore-all hilariously celebrat-
ing the damper to the recent dry spell. She
saw them all, and told about 1t, too.
When a good woman tells you a thing,
there Is no use TO say q word. When she
sees 1t with her own eyes and tells you, the
jig Ia up with your argument. You can only
say "Yessum," and look meek.

Argument of Mr.. ]. P. Grace snent the
nncontitutlonallty Of the Dispensary Election
act.
MI. Grace In arguing the unconstitutlon-
ality Of the DlBpensary Election act divided
bis argument In to three points as foil
First that the act In question 10 in conflict
with article 8, section II, OF the Constitution
of 1895 which Provides: Every act or resolu'
lion having the force oflaw shall relate to
but one subject and that shall be expressed IN
the title.
Seoond-that the said act is uncon stitution
because It Is In conflict with article l, section
s, Of the Constitution Of 1896, which provides the
privileges and immunites OF citizens OF this
Sta to and OF the United States under this
Cons ition shall not be abridged, nor shall
any person be deprived OF life, liberty or pro-
peFty with out due process OF law, nor shall
any person be dnenied the equal protection o,
the law.
"Third-The Act in question is In conflict
with Article 3, Section "a, Subdivision !, OF
the Constition OF 1895, against special legisla-
tion."
The Objectionable sections Of the Act. &C.
cordipg To Mr.. Grace, were those sections
pertaining to the election recently held. Mr..
Grace cited a number Of authorities In sup.
port OF the special legislation feature OF hts
part OF the Act In the prohibition features Is
Constitutional, the last sections are not. Mr..
Grace contends that the Act OF 1903 was q
Prohibition Act, and that the sections tn ere
Of after the thirteenth are null u void.

sionary to Mexico, died at the home OF
his daughter, Mrs. NJ. w. Boyce, OF
Gastonia, N. c., or August 9th, aged
50 years.
Mr.. Hunter had been in failing
health for sometime. He became ill
at his home in Cindad del Mais, Mex
leo, where he had been laboring for
twenty-four years as a missionary.
Mr.. Hunter was well known in this
county, having married Miss McDill, a
sister to MI. J. Hayne McDill of this
place. She died in Mexico in 1901.
She was a noble woman and did much
for the cause in Mexico In aiding her
husband in his work.

Hon. Wyatt Aiken and family are back
again. 1t has been rather a strenuous year
and all the Representatives deserve a rest.
AS for our Representative, Mr.. Aiken, he does
more work than anybody; his capacity for
work is unlimited, and he does 1t so graciously
that he makes you think you are doing him a
favor, when In reality you are giving him q
herculean task.
Few men in the Capital have more friends
than has Mr.. Aiken. He works on the prin.
ciple that for a man to have friends he must
show himself friendly.
MIR. Aiken's friends are men with whom
friendship counts. A man cannot expect 10
accomplish anything in any legislature If be
antagonizes the powers that be. 1t Is no
harm to court the friendship OF men, though
they be of different political persuasion from
yourself.
This Is the secret OF Mr.. Aikeu's success,
He Is broad in altruism, and men like thai
type Of man.

ABBEVILLE'S EDUCATIONAL Meeting

The Educational Ralley for this County
was held last Friday the q tn. at Sharon. A
good number OF people were present to hear
the speakers.
We venture to say, without having attend
cd such meeting In other counties, that the
Sharon meeting was In the fore front In point
Of attendance in point Of interest, and In
point Of thought in the subject matter OF the
speeches delivered. II is a PLY that every
man, woman, and child III the county could
not have heard the messages brought by
those who graced the occasion with thei r
choised thoughts on the subject of subjects
Education,
According to the good book there are some
things that .seems to enrick yet 1t tenth 10
poverty and there are some things that scat
ter abroad yet enriceth. Whena county tries
to pile up money at the expense of Educs'
ton such a county tendeth to povety. When
a county is lavish in her Educational ex-
penditure she may seem to be scattering her
substance abroad but In truth she Is growing
rich. No county Is richer than the Educa-
ton Of her citizens. or the wealth of q county
may be measured by the Education of Its
citizens,
AS was mentinued by one OF the speakers OF
Friday, Massachusetts Is richer than; South
Carolina simply because her citizens are bet
ter educated. Not because the men of Mas
sachusetts have more brain than we have but
because they are better trained men, their
brains have been harnessed and put 10 work
the average man in Massachusetts makes too
much more wages than does the average
South Caroline.
When Abbeville built her cotton will
Massachusetts furnished a man OF ruin 1t s
case directly In point.
The awakening along Educational line is
going TO accomplish results. The people are
ready for the QUESTION. They are ready to 60
to work, to leave the low place or the intel
~leotual ladder snd climb higher up. South
Carolina Is disgrased in the position she &C.
copies in the galaxy of State In Eduoati onal
matters.
Dr.. Johnson stated that Gov. Aycock, OF
North Carolina, thanked God for Sonth
Carolina because that State saved North
Carolina from being at the foot OF the class in
Education. II Is time for us to awake.

IDauntIess Hunter Invades Den oil
Desperate Lynx, in Ohio, and Kills Leader.

Lowell,'O O., August g. William Smith,
q South Carolina hunter, showed bis bravery
yesterday into a den OF lynx, near here, and
killed the leader Of the band. The battle
lasted three hours. The lynx was six feet In
length.
For several months The lynx have b en- q
terror to the community. They bave killed
stock and attacked people. Their den was In
q wild. rocky ravine and none dared attempt
TO route them. Smith organized q posse to
help him fight the animals, but he had barely
gotten inside the den when the posse,
frightened at the growla OF the animals, fed
In terror. The battle was fought in dark ness
and the den was 80 small that Smith was IN
able to stand erect.
