Passengers Entitled to Seat.

There are perhaps few people who
travel on railroad trains to any con-
siderable extent who have not expert
enced the inconvenience and discom-
fort of being denied a seat through the
selfishness of some fellow who has de-
posted his hand baggage in a seat and
then hiked off to the smoking COM
partment or other part of the train,
thereby OCCUPYING two seats-often at
the expense of ladies and children.
The practice probably is more or less
common throughout the entire cou-
ntry, but that is no reason why it
should not be regulated by the rail-
roads. Apparently the most frequent
offenders in this connection are COM
mercial travellers, many of whom arro-
gate to themselves the right to thus
occupy two seats, regardless of the
hardships to which they are subject
ing others; and if some fellow-passen-
ger is bold enough to attempt to occu-
ply the baggage-laden seat the owner
of the baggage protests in a loud mouth,
most often, IS is the wont of no incon-
siderable number OF ''drummers,"
the seat is his by right of reservation.
Unfortunately there are too many peo-
pie who accept this unwarranted state
ment as a matter of fact, preferring to
suffer from such hoggishness rather
than become embroiied IN a personal
difficulty. There is not, so far as our
information goes, any law upon the
statute books of South Carolina touch
ing this matter, but it is safe to assume
that if a case were taken before our
courts a decision would be rendered
following closely that of the New York
court of appeals, which holds that the
placing of baggage in a seat in a rail
way car does not reserve it for the
owner of the baggage. In affirming
the decision Of the lower court the
New York court of appeals establishes
definitely for that State three points.
Seats in a passenger car are for pass
engers to sit in, seats are not for goods,
chattels or baggage; seats containing
baggage are, in the eyes of the law, va
cant. The Southern rail way on whose
trains the people of this section often
have to submit to the hardships point
ed out, would be safe in i%nstructing its
conductors to follow the New York de-
cision.

GOOD SCHOOL.
Teacher Of Refined Taste Who CaItivates
Love for the Beautiful,

On the public road between Due West and
Abbeville there Is a small school house. 1t Ia
near Santuo saw mill, which school Is taught
by Miss Kate Crawford.
The remarkable thing about it Ia that a
small flower garden has been enclosed by q
neat fence. II Is the only one ever saw on
the grounds of a common school. The teach
er seems u OF only to instruct the children In
books but In other things as we'll. A good
many flowers have been planted and care
fully cultivated. 1t would seem the pupils
OF this school do not confne their learning to
The cold dead facts of the books, but they also
work among the flowers that live and grow.
nd so their love and taste for the beautiful
expands. l have no doubt they are taught
to look from nature up 10 natures God, and
IA they admire and love their beautiful flow
ers they no doubt adore and worship Him
who clothes the lilies and gives to them
their great beauty.
Our Informant on this particular is a wild.
over and he guarantees that the teacher ls
the incest and the prettiest woman on earth
Since writing the above we learn that Miss
Mary Carwile's school at Parks Creek has a
beautiful flower garden on It's grounds. The

You Must Not Deny Any Man His

The prohibition law of Alabama has
just hadtwo big holes knocked through
it. That section of the law which for
bids the storage or holding in posses
sion of liquor in any building or apart
ment that is Inhabited, has been de-
clared unconstitutional. The piovis-
ion. it appears. is clearly in conflict
with the maxim that every mans
home is his castle. Another section OF
the Alabama prohibition bill which
has been declared unconstitutional or
contrary to the Bill of Rights is the
one which authorized the issue of war.
rants to enter Inhabited dwellings for
the purpose of securing evidence. In
temperate reformers may assert that
he denial of aman'sfreedom to "booze'
in his own home is justified as a means
to a good end. The denial of this free,
dom, however, would involve the de-
NAL of other personal liberties which
even extreme Prohibitionists hold
sacred.

Songs in the NIGHT.

Very many of the sweetest joys of Christian
hearts are songs which have been learned In
the bitterness or trial. 1t is said OF a little
bird that be will never learn to sing the sopg
his master will have him him sing while IL IL
light In his cage. He learns a snatch of every
song he hears but will not learn . full sepaI.
ate melody of his own. And the master
covers the cage and mnkes II dark all about
the bird and then be listens and learns the
one SON. that il taught him, until his heart
is full Of IT. Then ever after, he sings the
song in the light. With many Of US IT Is as
with the bird. The master has a song be
wants to>teach US but we learn only q strain
of 1t, q note here and there, while We catch
up snatohes Of the worlds song and sing them
with II. Then he comes and makes II dark
about US, till we learn the sweet melody be
would teach ua. Many Of the Ioveliest songs
Of peace and trust sung by Children have been
taught in the darkened chamber OF sorrow.
