Lexington Grog All Gone.

Lexington, Oct. 16-It is goodbye
to whiskey in Lexington. Dispenser
Caughman sold the last half pint of
liquor to-day, and there was weep
ing, wailing and gnashing Of teeth"
when the announcement was made
that there was not drop of liquor
to be had. About $125 worth of Is
cents beer and wine is all that Is left
and this will likely be closed out ear
~ next week. It is not known how
much remains in the Peak dispen-
sary, but it is supposed that there are
only few hundred dollars worth of
stock there.
There has been an appreciable de-
crease in drunkenness on the streets
to-day, due no doubt to the fact that
there was nothing to be had to cheer
and make merry. Merchants report
the largest business in their history,
and there has been a lot of money
turned loose"

Greenwood Lad in Trouble.

Claud Ellenberg, charged with at
tempting criminal assault upon
pretty little 10-year-old girl in the
eastern part of the city late Saturday
afternoon, is behind the prison bars
in the Greenwood county Jail.
The boy, who is about IA or Is
years old, is son of Mr.. M. D. Ellen
berg. He was arrested Monday night
in Greenville where he went after the
affair occurred. He was brought
back to Greenwood Tuesday at 12:07
o'clock on the Southern train by Mr..
Decatur Fortner, who had been sent
to that city by Sheriff Mcmillan for
the purpose Of making the arrest.
It seems that the little girl came to
the house Saturday afternoon where
the Ellenberg boy was, to use the
telephone. It was at this time that
the alleged attempt at criminal as
sault is said to have taken place.
The case will be tried, in all proba-
bility, at the coming term Of criminal
court which convenes here October
25th.
The affair is regretted on account
of the parents, friends, relatives, and
the youth of the boy.-Greenwood

Be Loyal to Home.

No matter where you live, where
your home is you ought to take a
special local home interest. Your
neighbors should be more to you than
strangers. You should be proud of
your churches and your lodges and
your clubs, proud Of home improve
ments and home advantages; proud
Of home industries.
Home to you should be the best
place on earth, and loyalty demands
your influence to help make it so.
Give your home the preference in
pleasure and in business. Some other
place may have more people, but
they are strangers to you. Some
other place may have more churches
and finer and larger school buildings,
but they don't help you or your neigh
bors. Some other place may have
more business advantages and more
merchants, but they don't pay any of
your local taxes, they don't help to
bring to your community any perma-
nent local value, they don't make
you any richer, they don't sympathize
with you in sickness or in trouble.
The place that gives you living
is entitled to your best efforts. No
person has a right to live in town
and enjoy it's benefits and pleasures
without identifying himself with it's
interests.
Give your home the first chance,
your home workmen, your home mer-
chants and your home paper.
The only men Of worth to town
or community are those who forget
their own selfish ends long enough,
and are liberal enough in their ideas,
to encourage every public and pri-
vate enterprise, every home industry,
who are ready with brain and purse
to push every project calculated to
build up the town and enhance its
importance.

MAY GO TO INDIA.
Aiken Lady Said to be Leprous Pa
tient May Leave Country.

Aiken, Oct. ia committee OF
three from the Aiken city council has
been appointed to confer with Miss
Mary V. Kirk, the alleged leper, or
her agents, in regard to the sale OF
her property in the city of Aiken to
the city authorities. 1t is stated
that Miss Kirk desires to sell her
property here and move away.
Miss Kirk is now quarantined with
in half a block from the business part
of the city, on Main street, the prem
ises being under guard to prevent en-
trance and exit of persons to the
house in which the aged lady is in.
carcerated. 1t will be recalled that
some months ago, when the board OF
health was preparing to remove her
to the hospital for contagious dis
eases, on the edge Of the city, an in
junction was secured to prevent its
doing so. Later the case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court and the
board of health was restrained from
moving her to the present pest house
or city hospital. But the right OF
the board to keep the premises quar-
antined was reserved to them by the
courts decision, and accordingly the
quarantine has never been lifted.
Now the lady expresses her desire
to leave the city, and it is stated
that she wants to 90 to India. Miss
Kirk is lady of refinement and cul'
ture, and was at one time possessor
of considerable fortune, most OF
which she spent in missionary work
in South America, where she is said
to have contracted the dreaded lepro-
sy, which the board of health of the
city Of Aiken still maintains she is
suffering from. If a reasonable price
can be agreed upon, it is probable
that the city will purchase her prop
erty. The committee will report
back to council before action is taken.

The Berkeley Case.

Assistant Attorney General De-
Bruhl will appear for the State in
Berkeley to push the suit against
County Treasurer Edwards of that

shortage in his accounts. This treas

Ansel and another appointed in his
stead. The case was to have come up
at the last term of court but was
postponed. The suit will probably
come up next month.
