THE MAYORS COURT.
Four Cases on Trial Saturday for
Vagrancy.

On Saturday morning Charles
Griffin and John Grimes, stood before
the Mayor to answer to the charge of
having too much spare time on their
hands. After due and careful consid-
Grafton it was thought best for the
interests of all concerned that these
gentlemen should be given an incen-
tive to work. The incentive proved
to be $40 or twenty days or the al
tentative of leaving town. Their
doctors thought also that change
of climate would be beneficial so
Johnnie and Charlie have departed
from the CITY on the Edisto.'
Legrand Scott and Jim Haynes, a
portion of our African-American pop
ulation, were also charged with vag-
rancy. They were both quite certain
that they were hard workers and had
no time to spare on the public works
of the city. The case against them
was dismissed.
Charlie Martin next figured. He
was exiled from this city on April S
last and warned not to come back
for a year and day. However as
the longing for his native home and
the scene of his childhood grew
strong upon him, so did the effect of
the warning grow weaker and weaker
until Charlie was found again in the
city he loved 80 well. He was taken
I'D and his original sentence was
again passed upon him. Not having
the necessary $40, he goes on the
gang for a period of twenty-five days.
On Monday morning j. T. Lemons
was called, charged with having inn
bibed from the cup of happiness lit
tie too much than was good for the
serenity Of his mind. but he was not
present. His bail of $3.50 was taken
into tow.
Jim Marshall, generally and famil-
iarly known as Buckeye" was charg-
ed with cursing and being disorderly.
1t seems that Jimmie works in
restaurant near the Southern depot,
and it is customary for all customers
to 20 in the back door on Sunday,
but a particular colored gent while
passing the house OF goods things to
eat, found out that he had the hun
CRY feeling and seeing the front door
cracked made a break for the lunch
counter. This angered James, who
not being able to give vent to his
feelings physically, did so literally,
that is to say, cusses little. The
Mayor thought 50 or five days about
suited the case, and when he left Jim
was saying his pa was in search OF
the money.

MAKING GOVERNMENT GOOD.
Statistics Show That the Government
Pays ENhoritant Prices.

Why is is that a man working for
a private employer can accomplish
more than eleven times as much in q
day as a man doing precisely similar
work for the city? And why should
work done for the city cost fifteen
times as much as the same quantity
of the same kind of work done for d
private employer?
Why should the city pay clock
repairer $ll.63 per hour for tinker
ing at its clocks? Why not save
money by throwing away clock as
soon as it got out of order and
buying new one?
Why does given quantity of rub

$196 cost the city $500?
Why do brackets retailed at 45
cents cost the city three dollars?
Why does it cost the city $S.25 a

citizen can get it hauled the same
distance under identical conditions
for s1.47 load?

Summer Hair Dressing.

The disagreeable and repulsive od-
ors that come from the hair in sum-
mer are caused by dandrufF.
Dandruff Is caused by microbes
which are hard to kill, but which can
be killed by Partisan Sage, the quick
acting. money-back hair tonic.
Dandruff can never be cured until
the small. aggravating and indomi-
table dandruff germ is conquered and
destroyed.
And millions Of dandruff germs
nave been destroyed, thanks to the
great scientist and dermatologiSt who
gave TO the world Partisan Sage. the
only real dandruff cure and hair
grower the world has ever known.
If you have dandruff, Partisan
Sage will cure you in two weeks, or
your money back.
But besides Kidding the scalp OF
dandruff, Partisan Sage is guaranteed
to stop falling hair and itching Of the
scalp. 1t keeps the scalp cool and
clean in summer. 1t IS a prime fav-
orite with women OF refinement. 1t
makes the hair soft, lustrous and
beautiful in 4 week, and Is not sticky

FOR PROHIBITION.
Springfield Stirred Up on the Liquor
Question.

Springfield, July 1.-THE liquor
fight is on at this place, and promises
to grow in fierceness and fury until
after August II, next. The liquor
forces feel that they are pretty well
entrenched, and boldly claim this poll
while the prohibtionists equally feel
sure that as far as Springfield is con-
cerned, Orangeburg County will go
dry, and even more than that, stay
dry after it goes so.

ton, Miles O'Riley. opened the bat
tie here this week in the auditorium

Union exhibited the best trained class
of little people in the cause so dear

seen here.
The program was under the direct

tertained large audience. The fol-

KEPT VERY BUSY.
State BactcrioIogist Coward Hard at
Work.

The Columbia State says the State
bacteriologist, DR. f. a. Coward, is
kept very busy in his labratory in
campus.
Although the labratory has been
in operation only week. twenty eX-
aminations for different forms of bac-
terra have been made. Many Of these
examinations were OF specimens sent
on by physicians living out of Co.
lumbia. which shows that the medical
men are at once awakening to the
great benefit which: the bacteriolog-
ical labratory will confer on them
in helping to correct diagnoses.

found to be Infected with rabies. The
dog bit one person before being kill
ed, but as The bite. was not severe
and the teeth Of the animal pierced
the clothing first, 1t is hoped that no
rabies will be developed
DR.. Coward says that the results
of his examinations were mailed, or
telegraphed when he was so request
ed, at the earliest possible moment.
The records of all work done in the
laboratory will be filed and put on
record for public inspection. These
records will, in after years, prove OF
great assistance in compiling vital
statistics in which South Carolina Is
