Mrs. A. NJ. Cubbage spent a few
DAYS on visit to relatives at Alcolu.
Mrs. w. NJ. Hodge has been on a
visit to Manning to her father, Sheriff
F. B. Gamble.
After an extensive visit Miss Ella
Berry has returned to her home at
Trinity.
Miss Pollie Pack returned home from
a visit to friends IN Sumter, accom-
panied by Mr.. W. a. Carr.
Some of our young farmers think
their stock never tire, they piow them
all the week until Saturday noon, then
hook them up to a washed-otf-buegy,
and expect tt an to hold a high head
and tail until Monday morning. Boys,
the good bouk says we will be held ac-
cOuntable for our treatment OF the
dumb brute If shat be true some OF
our so-calied sports will have loads OF
sin to account for.
Mr.. A. VI. Cubbage had a new horse
and buggy on our streets last Saturday
which was much admired. He had been
over in the Fork section business.

Senator Tillman

Senator Tillman in an inter-
view in Augusta gave as his rea-
son for deciding mot to show up
Roosevelt" was that his motives
would have been misconstrued.
The senator no doubt had great
provocation to tell the country
"a few things" about Roosevelt:
but would it have strengthened
him with the masses? Suppose
Tillman had gone for Roosevelt
with his pitchfork of invective:
everybody would have attributed
it to spite: and it would have had
no more effect than water drop
ping on a ducks back. If Roose-
welt breaks into the senate from
New York, Tillman can then
have the opportunity to go at
him and make the fur fly.

Sometime ago stock connpan was
organized known as the Turbevllle Gin
merry Company. The following were the
officers elected: President, D. L. Green:
Vice President. NJ. J. Morris: Secretary
and Treasurer, D. z. Turbeville; Man
ayers, \. II. Pope; S. c. Turbeville and
r. r. Tomlinson. Most of the machin-
cry has come and the plant is now under
construction. When completed this will
be the largest plant OF it's kind in this
section of the county.
Through the kind efforts of Hon D..
L. Green, ar : ct was passed by the last
Legislatu:c to bond our school district
for th> 4rpose OF building a $4,000
schvu .uilding. We are hoping that
by the time school opens again that we
can accommodate our pupils with a
modern school building. The building
is very much needed as the enrolment
has increased considerably during the
past school term. Our enrolment now
is ll2, the largest number ever enroll
ed.
The pupils of the graded school en-
joyed picnic Friday out in the roads
The open air and the long tramp with
nice lunches and plenty OF fun seemed
to be enjoyed by everyone.
The young people are busy rehears-
ing two plays which will be given at
the Woodmen hall, Friday night, April
g. They are entitled, The Widower's
Trials" and Hash" They are rich,
full of fun and laughter. The public will
be invited.
Appropriate exercises were held at
the graded school Thursday in honor OF
the birthday OF John c. Calhoun.
The greatest social hit of the season
was a tacky party given at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. S. D. McElveen on Friday
evening, March 10. AL kinds of colors.
patterns and dresses were in abundance.
II would be useless to attempt to de-
scribe any OF the costumes. Style rang
ing from the old-time southern farmer
to the modern dude was represented.
The old-time parson was present and re-
peatedly had 10 call down the crowd as
they were inclined to dance. Music was
in abundance, Mrs. McElveen by ac-
cident leftth dining room unlocked and
a number OF tin pans escaped. These
were given violent exercise two hours.
All kinds of formality were forgotten
and everybody went in for d good time,
they had it. \ prize was given to Miss
Pearl NcElveen for being the most
"Tacky." being chosen from large
number of contestants. Everybody had
a good time, and when Mr.. and Mrs.
McElveen wants another party they can
be assured of crowd. Those present
were: Misses Pearle Wheeler, Boyce
Tasca Turbeville, Beulah

oYERDONE LEGISLATION.

A drug clerk in Virginia was
convicted for having in posses
ion cocaine, in violation of the
statutes of that State, and was
sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary. The case was ap-
pealed, and the supreme court
reversed the decision. This de-
cision will, we have no doubt. be
quoted in South Carolina, if there
should be a conviction for having
in possession alcoholic liquors.
Under the law of this State the
possession of alcoholic liquors is
a misdemeanor. punished by fine
or Imprisonment, but we have
serious doubts Of the law stand
ing the test of the courts.
When the recent liquor Act was
pending we questioned then the
wisdom Of making the possession
ofliquora a misdemeanor, but those
in charge of the bill insisted that
this drastic feature remain, we
presume they looked into the law.
and were convinced of its consti-
tutionality. but although a lay
man it did not appeal to our judg-
ment. however. we voted for the
passage of the bill, yielding our
individual judgment to those who
professed to be learned in the
law.
The Virginia decision confirms
our original opinion. and we be-
lieve a conviction for having in
possession alcoholic liquors will
be declared unconstitutional, and
properly so, because there is a
wide difference between having
liquor in possession, for personal
use, and selling liquor.

Gov. Hohe Smith cf Georgia,
at banquet in Buffalo, n. Y,
declared it was almost the unan-
imous sentiment Of Democrats
that a new man should lead in the
next national contest. What IS
the use of putting up a new man
to lead the Democrats, if Taft is
going to capture several States
in the South: Governor Smith
never was a Bryan man, and
therefore he has no right to in
sist upon Bryan getting out OF

THE ADMIN STRATION HAS CONFIDENCE
IN CApERS,

There has been much said Of
latein thenewspapers about Capt.
John G.. Capers being shelved by
new administration at Washing
ton, but coming as it does, from
a source which has been unfriend-
ly to him, we had our suspicious
there was purpose to effect an
arrangement between the ad-
ministration and Mr.. Capers. We
have it however, from a source
we regard reliable, that MIR. Ca
pers' relations with the Presi-
dent. and the heads Of the various
departments, are very friendly.
and that both the President ana
the department heads have great
confidence in Mr.. Capers' judg-
ment and ability.
Just why the newspapers in
this State should wish to cripple
the influence of a South Carolin-
ian in Washington, who has dem
onstrated time and time again his
loyalty to the people of his ma
tive State, we cannot understand.
Throughout Mr.. Capers' connec-
ton with the powers at Washing
ton, we have not known a single
instance where he has used his
influence. in the matter of ap,
pointments which were lnimical
to the interests Of the people of
his State. 1t must be remembered
the administration is Republican.
that the victors claim the right
to the spoils. and notwithstand-
ing this there are very few Of
fensive Republicans in Office in
South Carolina. surely this State
must have had a friend in touch
with the powers that he, and be-
lieving sincerely that Mr.. Capers
was the influential power which
kept thisState efrombeing overrun
with offensive appointments, we
should be grateful to him, and
not lend ourselves TO any effort
calculated, or having for its pur-
pose, to destroy the influence for
good that has been exerted in our
behalf

THE HIGH HAVE FALLEN.

The result OF the trial in Ten
nessee, conyicting the Coopers Of
murder in the second degree, is
sustained by an overwhelming
majority of the people through
out the Union. There are some
who think that Carmack went too
far in his criticisms Of Colonel
Cooper, but those who take this
position must remember that the
acts of public men are open to
review, and that no man has a
right to take the law in his own
hands. # there was anything in
the editorials written by Carmack
Of a defamatory character, the
law has provided a remedy, and
expects a resort tc law, and not
to violence for relief.
It is, our opinion, the conviction
of the Coopers will have whole
some effect, not only in the State
Of Tennessee, but throughout the
nation. It is evident that juries
are taking no stock IN the grant
ing Of a license to kill, because a
man is Of ';one OF the best fami-
lies, :" and it would be dangerous
indeed to permit individuals to
assume themselves above the
law.
The end Of this celebrated case
is not yet, every device that can
be brought into play to reverse
the verdict Of the jury will be re-
sorted to, but there stands out
consplcuously, thatnotwithstand,
ing the prominence of the accus-
ed, jury Of their fellow citizens
has placed the brand of Cain
where it belongs. The Coopers
are guilty Of murder.

Senator Smith has secured ex-
cellent committee assignments.
He is on the committee on agrl.
culture, which puts him in line
with the work he has been car
rying on, and through it he. will
be able to exercise an influence
for the great agricultural inter
ests of the South. The United
States government of late years
has given much attention to
agriculture, brought about large.
ly through Secretary Wilson,
aided by Congressman Lever
and others, and now with Sena-
tor Smith: who has made rep:
utation for his devoteduess to
the cause of the farmer on the
agricultural committee, this
branch of the government will
be greatly enhanced. There is
no man in the United States Sen
ate who is better quaIlned 10
speak for the needs of the
Southern farmer than Senator
E. D. Smith. He is a practical
farmer himself. and he has made
a personal study of the agrlcul-
tural conditions in the South.
This study was not confined to
the planting and raising of the
South's products, but to the
manufacture and marketing of
that product: and when he rises
to speak in the Senate for the
farmers of the South, his audi
tors will give him their atten-
ton, and careful consideration.

Tho tariff tinLnrS afa ,

The tariff tinkers are now at
work revising the tariff, both
parties are loaded, and every
mother son Of them will want
protection for their local inter
est. The timber men of New
England do not want lumber put
on the free list, and all the way
through will be a scrap to save
those things which the home
folks want to retain high prices
for. Both parties are pledged to
revision, but whether the revis-
ion will be up or down remains
to be seen. The governmentneeds
the money to overcome the great
deficit, and if the scale of tariff
is reduced, it may result in di-
rect taxation and put the masses
in a worse fix than before.

already aroused the suspicious of

senator has made a good begin

Of the government. It is dollars

results from the present admins

principle, than has been gotten
by a representative from this
State in many years. The pres

with him on South Carolina ap,

stand how in this great country
so thoroughly policed, that such
an outrage can be perpetrated,
and succeed to the extent of
forcing the payment of a large
sum Of money for a stolen child,
but in this case it seems to have
worked. The children Of wealthy
