Stripes on The Grafters.

AS wehave said before, we have
absolutely no feeling of spite OF
malice toward the alleged dispen-
sary grafters; but we sincerely hope
that they will be punished.
We consider the punishment OF
the dispensary grafters as being OF
far more importance than getting
back from the whiskey houses the.
money that has been stolen from
the state.
Although we felt sorely disap-
pointed when the whiskey people
succeeded in convincing Judge
Pritchard that he had jurisdiction,
principally because we feared that
the delay would inure to the benefit
Of the grafters, and for that reason
were hopeful that the state would
accept the situation and go in for
punishment and redress in the
United States court, it now gives us
much pleasure to commend the Wis
dom and determination of the at
torney general. and to say that
events have vindicated his course.
The understanding is that Mr..
Fielder and the attorney general
have lots of evidence positive
proof sufficient to convict the graft
ers even of more than the public
has any suspicion that they are
guilty.
Tie only contingency to fear now
it seems, is as to whether juries
will convict on positive and indis-
putable evidence, and we are not
ready to think that South Carolina
has yet sunk so low that her juries
will perjure themselves to protect
thieves.
1t has been observed all over
South Carolina, and it has not tax
en- very close observation to see it,
that the unrebuked shamelessness
of the dispensary grafters has
tempted and encouraged hundreds
of Others to follow their example
OF every opportunity, and the ten
.dency was to make official honor a
by-word and a sneer.
There have been cases OF embez-
element and thievery that have
been allowed to go almost unnoticed,
simply because of the much larger
precedent that had been furnished
in the dispensary stealing.
Of course, we would not be un-
derstood as suggesting that any
body should be punished merely
for.example. We DO not want any
guilty man punished, until after
his guilt has been established by
perfectly regular and lawful evil
dence beyond a reasonable doubt.
But if these grafters 90 without
stripes, the result will be infinite
harm to South Carolina, while if
Mr.. Lyon succeeds in putting stripes
on them, then the state will be bene-
fitted lusdiately.- orkville En-
quirer.

Dead Of Mrs. Miller.

: Our. town was deeply saddened
on Thursday morning last by the
news of the death of Mrs. Mamie
Hart Miller, the wife of Mr.. James
L. Miller, who passed away at her
home near Golfers. The interment
was held at Republican church
Friday morning. Revs. ]. p. Meal
ing, and j. T. Littlejohn officiated
at the funeral.
For nearly a year Mrs. Miller had
been in declining health and for
several weeks she had been. des-
perately i'll. She received the best
medical attention and was constant
ly and very tenderly ministered to
by friends and loved ones, but no
human agency could stay the dis
ease.
Being a deeply pious and CON
secrated Christian woman, as well
as possessing firm and very decided
convictions, her life was an active,
positive force for good in the com
munity. The neighbors of Mrs.
Miller who knew, her best and who
appreciated her worth say with one
accord that the loss to the commu-
nifty % very great and can not be
easily filed, if at all. She was
identified with every good work.
Through a strange dispensation
of Providence-one that the finite
mind can not understandable
mother of six little ones, with ages
ranging from one to twelve years,
was taken. yet God spared her long
enough to impress her life upon
them, especially the older ones, 50
that when they grow up they will
emulate her example, following the
way of truth and right. To these
motherless little ones and to the
grief stricken husband, we beg TO
offer our deepest sympathy.

Splendid Showing Made by
Local Building and Loan
Association.

That Edgefeld's growth during
the past decade is largely due to
the Edgefeld Building and Loan
Association, is shown by the fol-
lowing report made by the treas
urer at the recent annual meeting:
To the shareholders of the. Edge
field Building and Loan Associa-
-tion,
This being the tenth anniversary
of the organization of your associa-
tion / deemed it an opportune time
to review briefly some of the things
the association has done during
these years. l trust some of the facts
thus set forth will prove interesting
to you.
The association has loaned to its
shareholders during this time the
sum of s54,547.OO; of this sum.
$40, $4,000 went into the erection of
forty-seven new dwellings and busi-
ness houses; the balance, of course,
was loaned to the shareholders on
the security of their stock.
During this period we have paid
back to our shareholders in ma
tured stock $19,9OO.oo-we have
earned in net profits after paying
taxes, expenses and interest on bor-
rowed money, the sum of s7,s49.es,
s4,143.35 having been paid out to
your shareholders and s3,7O6.43
being still held to their credit.
While your association is small,
and the field of it's activity is limit
ed, still, / think the fact that you
have built homes for almost half a
hundred families, and added at
least s5O,Oo9.o0 to the taxable val
ues of the town is cause for con-
graduation.
Any review of the work of this
association for the past ten years
would be incomplete without mem
tion of the fact that your president,
vice-president, secretary and board
of directors have each served you
faithfully and zealously during the
whole of that time without any re-
muneration whatever, (your treas
urer being the only salaried officer)
and to their wise and prudent man.
agement and direction is due what
ever success your association has
had.
