SUMTER HAS BLIND TIGERS?
An Ardent PrOhibitiOnist Says They
Are Selling Dispensary Liquor.

An ardent prohibitionist stated to-
day that blind tigers are selling liq-
uor in Sumter and that the liquor
they are selling was certainly pro-
cured from the dispensary before it
was closed.
The statement was accepted as a
fact, the writer not being in a posi-
tion to dispute it, not having seen
any liquor Of any description since
the dispensary was closed, or for
several weeks prior to the closing,
for that matter, he being what might
be termed a "near-prohibitionist" in
practice, although a dispensary ad-
vocate in politics. Not being overly
inquisitive or given to asking search
ing questions Of personal nature,
the inquiry was not pressed as to
how the ardent prohibitionist be-
came possessed Of the knowledge
that the blind tigers are retailing
whiskey in dispensary bottles. It
was taken for granted that the pro-
hibitionist knew whereof he spoke
and was qualified to differentiate be-
tween dispensary liquor and the 9TH
er sorts. 1t was a matter of little
concern that the tigers have the
poor taste 10 sell dispensary liquor,
instead Of some other sort, but
feeling of sorrow and amazement was
produced when it was realized that
blind tigers are carrying on their ne
farious trade in Sumter in defiance
Of the prohibition law which became
effective on August I'd. How can
such things be and an ardent prohi-
bitionist have full and exact informa-
ton of the facts? If prohibition will
prohibit after the dispensary is voted
out on August 18th, why does it not
prohibit now while the dispensary is
closed and the sale of liquor forbid
den by the same law that will prohi-
bit and is expected to prevent the
sale of liquor after the dispenssries
are closed finally in November? This
matter of statutory prohibition Is
queer thing-a puzzle and an enig-
mat is so full of contradictions and
kinks and twists that a believer in
plain old temperance or total absti-
nence gets hopelessly entangled
in the mystic maze of moral and po-
litical subtleties that the prohibition
lists construct.

Good to Remember.

A church somewhere, no matter
where, prints on the back of little
slips-programs denoting the order OF
OF service-these words:
1 will not worry.
I will not be afraid.
1 will not give way to anger.
1 will not yield to envy, jealousy OF
hatred.
L will be kind to every man, woman
and child with whom 1 come in con-
tact.
I will be cheerful and hopeful
I will trust in God and bravely face
the future.
Read them again. They are worth
while. You might cut them out and
paste them in your hat, indeed. If
you will resolve to 1--we by them
even for one week-you will be
great deal better for it. This is not
Monday morning sermon-not at all.
1t is just Monday morning sugges-
ton. Blue Monday" you know, is a
good time to begin a new order Of
things.
If you will get these words into your
mind-good and strons-you will find
that living up to them supplies you
with all the religion, all the philoso-
ply you need. You can not go wrong
if you follow these precepts.-wash-

Much Depends on Decision.

Rock Hill, Aug. 13.-Attorneys
who appeared before the special ses-
sion Of the Supreme Court in Colum-
bia Thursday state that argument on
the motion to compel the commits
sioners of public works of Rock Hill
to sell the sewerage bonds issued by
this city, developed the fact that the
bonds issued by Charleston and Flor
ence are exactly analogous, and that
whatever decision is given in this
case will affect the above named
cities alike.
1t will be remembered that a spe-
cial clause was inserted in the Con-
stition Of 1895 to govern the issue
Of bonds for public utilities by Char
lesion. Rock Hill, Florence and
Georgetown, and what affects one af-
fects the others equally. Florence
bonds having already been sold,' it
would be very unfortunate should
the decision which is expected in ten
days be adverse.

How a Monkey Pleaded.

In Barbados the monkeys frequent
ly injure the sugar cane. AS a gem
eral thing, however, they are inoffen-
sive creatures and the average plant
er regards them with good-natured
tolerance. Once in a while however,
they commit a little too much dam
age on the growing cane, and an ex-
ample has to be made of one poor
culprit by shooting a member of any
particular troop Of monkeys that may
be found near the scene of destruc-
ton. Exposing the dead body as
warning is usually sufficient and the
cane is no longer attacked
On one occasion great damage had
been perpetrated, and the planter
Clarence Agard, now residing in ST.
Lucy. Barbados-went out with his
gun to act as executioner. He sue
ceeded in isolating one stray simian
Ia tree that was detached from all
adjacent shrubbery. The poor ami
NAL, realizing that it was trapped
rushed up to the topmost branch,
and then to the utmost end of the
branch, and looked in the most ap-
pealing manner at the man below
The latter finally raised his gun. and
was on thte point of pressing the
trigger when the monkey suddenly
took little infantile replica of itself
from its back and held it OUT the
most supplicating way c., .ule.
The planter, who is fond of ami
mails, had his heart quite touched,
and he promptly lowered his gun. A
companion, however, in his endeavor
to see what else the poor animal
would do, raised his gun, and ap-
parently once more it's life was in
danger Then ensued a most strik-
ing exhibition OF animal reasoning.
The monkey at once grasped the fact
that her first claim for consideration
had apparently failed, and the only
reason her intelligence could suggest
for the failure was that the infant
simian was not regarded as her own
genuine offspring.
What was to be done? How could
she convince these two human brutes
that she really was a sad and distress
ed mother? A happy thought occur
red to her. She plucked a leaf from
the tree, held it close to her breast
and then pressed the breast till a few
drops of milk eXuded. Then she drop
ped the leaf, and again held up her
baby to the gaze OF the astounded
men below. Needless to say, she es-
capped with her lfe.-London Globe.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton OF the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doc
tors pronounced it local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

not charging it to the account of

they could do so with a Cood reason

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
Some Matters Claiming the At
tention of the Law Makers.

Bills were introduced in the
Senate and House Monday in
line with the Republican plat
form providing that the State
board of education shall furnish
free to INDECENT children the
text books required in the public
schools.
Senator Barringer, of Gull
ford, introduced in the Senate
Tuesday joint resolution to re-
move the State Capitol from
Raleigh to Greensboro. The bill
was introduced in all Sc
riou>ness, but Senators refused
to take it seriously, regarding it
merely in the light of a joke. A
bill introduced in the Senate
Tuesday provides for a special
tax that will give 4 months of
school in every school district in
the State.
Representative Morton, of
New Hanover, has sprung
a bill to require every in
dividual keeping distilled IL
quors for personal use to pay a
license tax of IS a year, to allow
common carriers to deliver ship
ments of liquor to persons only
upon exhibition of such license.
and to compel carriers to report
to the county authorities lists of
persons receiving liquors, such
lists to be published.
The Senate committee on coun-
ties, cities and towns has decid-
ed to report favorably a new
county bill, to divide Mitchell in
the creation of Avery county.
The bill to incorporate the town
OF st. Pauls passed final reading
in the Senate Tuesday. Repre-
sentative Shepherd introduced
bills yesterday to create a dis
trlct in Robson in which stock
may run at large, and for the
relief of the county board of edu-
cation.
A large number of local bills
have been passed, and night ses-
sions Of the House are being
held.

country for the cure Of all forms of
female complaints is Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
stood the test of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. It has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, inflam-
nation, liberation, fbroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, f1atulency,
indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.
If you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound trial.
If you would like special advice
