We will soon have return of bar
room days in South Carolina if a
local optionist candidate is elected.
The prohibitionists advocated local
option some years ago to get rid OF
the State dispensary, and they ad-
vocated the local option principle as
an opening wedge. 1t should be
borne in mind that the old dispen-
saryites at that time opposed local
option. Now they have changed
front and want local option because
they want liquor sold again all over
the State. And, mind you, if this
comes to pass it will not be through
dispensaries either. To our mind the
local optionist is the man who favors
the sale of liquor in some shape or
other.

Special Delivery Dangerous Label.

Washington, August 1.-THE un-
usually large number of special de-
livery letters that have gone astray
recently has led the post office au-
thorities to make an investigation of
the service, the result of which has
been the conviction that four out OF
five persons believe special delivery
stamp on a letter insures it's safety.
This belief leads them to employ the
special delivery stamp for use in
transmitting articles of value through
the mails. So common has this
practice become that dishonest postal
employees have been led to expect
valuables to be carried under special
delivery, and, as there is no more
safety under these stamps than un-
der ordinary two-cent stamps, they
can be easily tampered with by those
through whose hands they pass.
There are about three million pos
tai employees in the United States, and
they are not all honest. To expect
that number of men engaged in a
single class of work to be honest in
each case would of course be in vain.
And 80 it is not surprising that out
of this vast army, some are found
who will tamper with the mails when
they think there is something Of value
passing through their hands, and they
are unmatched.
The special delivery letter is on ex-
actly the same footing as any other
piece of first-class mail until it reaches
the office of destination. Then its
special stamp insures that it is taken
up and delivered at once. That is all
there is to it, To say that it is no
safer than On ordinary two-cent
stamp letter is not quite strong
enough, for the percentage of ordl-
nary letters going astray is amazing
" small, while the specials that are
lost are many more in comparison to
the total number.
Formerly a special delivery stamp
was required for special delivery, but
more recently the department has
changed it's regulations so that an
ordinary ten-cent stamp, or two fives,
or five twos, of ten ones, added to the
regular frst-class postage, and
marked special delivery will be
given the same handling. Since the
new regulations have been in effect,
it is stated that the special delivery
business has greatly increased.

NEGRO is DROWNED.
Body in Crooked Creek-No Suspi.
cion of Foul Play.

Bennettsville, August 14.-The
body of a negro youth, John Wat
son, was found in Crooked Creek on
the edge of Bennettsville to-day.
It is said that Watson was simple
minded and early one morning, a few
days ago, he was seen in the yard
of negro not far from where the
body was found. At that time Wat
son was without clothes. He disap-
peared and a party was organized
this morning to search for him and
the bady was found.
The coroner will hold an inquest
tomorrow, though there is no suspi-
cion of foul play. From the posi-
ton of the body it is thought that
he fell while endeavoring to cross the
creek on an old dead tree that had
fallen in the creek.

For Murder of Pretty Woman.

Los Angeles, CAL, August 10
While detectives are searching the
city, deputies from the sheriff's Of
flee are securing the country to-day
for Otto Schultze, the young German
wanted in connection with the MUIR
der of Mrs. Freda Castine, whose
body was unearthed from shallow
grave by pet dog yesterday, at her
ranch near Lancaster.
Some of the police and deputies are
inclined to believe that Schultze, with
the $4,000 thought to have been stol-
en- from Mrs. Castine, has sought to
enter Mexico by way of the Arizona
borderor through Ell Paso.
A full description of the fugitive
has been telegraphed abroad Ac-
cording to the description, Schultze
is between 20 and 25 years of age,
FIVE feet eight incnes in height, OF
medium built, wears a light mus
tache and has a florid complexion.
A curious feature following the
murder of Mrs. Castine is the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Martha Chatt, wife
of a Los Angeles realty dealer, and
her escort, John Inderbetten, while
the two were on their way to ranch
near the home of Mrs. Castine. They
have been missing for week and B.
C. Chatt, the husband, has asked the
aid of the sheriff to find his wife.

Mayor Killed by Falling Wall.

Ell Paso, August 14.-W. E. Robin
son, mayor of Ell Paso, lost his life at
9 o'clock this morning while en-
deavoring to warn a number of fire.
men of the imminent danger from a
tottering wall. At the same time,
Todd Ware, fireman, was instantly
killed and William Robinson and
Dave Sullivan, also firemen, were in
jured, the latter perhaps fatally.
The casualties followed a fire
which broke out in the store of Cali
sho Dry Goods Company, and ruined
it.
AS the mayor approached the
building a large portion of brick wall
fell, crushing Robinson and Ware and
knocking the other men down. Mr..
Robinson witnessed the accident.
Conservative estimates place the
loss at s225,000.

Two raen Jump in Well.

Vienna, August 13.-Two rich
Hungarian landowners, Paul Kovacs,
aged 70, and Emmerich Juhasz, aged
6S, who had for many years been
neighbors and on extremely friendly
terms, decided to end their lives to-
gether because both had become in
tolerable owing to incurable diseases.
They uncovered deep we'll on the
estate of Juhasz, hung bags filled with
stones round their necks, tied their
left hands together and then jumped
into the well, where their bodies were
subsequently found by the servants.
The large estates were left to distant
relatives.

SMALL BOYS IN TROUBLE.
Released Freight Cars and Caused
Costly Smash-up.

Willie Coon, Willie Young, Eddie
Davis and Albert Jackson, a Quartette
of small negroes, are in trouble as
the result of idleness and mischief
and the Atlantic Coast Line railway
is the loser of several thousand dol
lars in rolling stock because of the
boys prank Wednesday in releasing
several freight cars on the spur trac!;
leading to the water works engine
house. The cars in their wild run
after being relieved of the brakes
crashed into several other cars and
the smash-up was complete so far as
the cars were concerned. The wheels
and iron work on the cars can proba-
bly, be utilized again.
The negroes were arrested by De-
tective Ford soon after the collision.
They were given preliminary hear
ing before Magistrate Fowles Friday
morning and sent to Jail to await
trial at the September term of crimi-
nal court. The charge against them
is malicious mischief.
The law is that offenders when
their act places in jeopardy human
life must serve 20 years; when life
was not endangered the penalty is
one year at hard labor.-Columbia

Fooled the Old Man.

in Massachusetts, highly respected
and extremely pious old gentleman
conducts a weekly newspaper dur
ing the week and on Sundays dis
courses his religious views from the
pulpit of the local Presbyterian
church. In addition to these duties
he is an arduous and indefatigable
worker against the liquor traffic.
One sultry afternoon in midsum-
mer, his office force of three-press-
man, compositor and "devil'-were
regaling themselves with a quart
bottle of beer, secured from the local
liquor dispensary across the way.
Jones, the pressman, was just TAX
his turn at the bottle, meanwhile
keeping his eyes riveted on the door
around the corner of the big press.
Noting the entrance of the "old
man." he signaled a warning to his
companions, and with rare presense
of mind, seized the type brush, and
sprinkingly it literally with the beer,
began to industriously scrub the
form on the bed of the press.
The "old man" at once scented the
beer, and instantly recognized the
odor, regardless of the fact that he
had on several occasions made the
proud boast that mot drop Of the
vile stuff had ever passed his lips"
With "blood in his eye" he advanced
upon the scene fully determined to
make horrible example Of the offen-
der. Judge of his surprise when he
witnessed the unrufled Jones calmly
scrubbing the form with the foamy
suds, every now and then dashing a
new supply onto the dripping brush.
"What does this mean, Jones?"
"Well, sir, we've been having lots
of trouble on this run keeping the
type from filing up. l tried every
thing l knew without striking a
remedy, until happened to think
that 1 once heard tramp printer say
that beer was fine thing to use on a
sultry day"
Huh" snorted the "old man.
$50 1 sent Johnnie after bottle
and just see the results" Jones con-
tinued, without noticing the Interrupt
ton.
Picking up a sheet, from a pile OF
waste sheets that had been run
through the press two or three times
to remove an Offset, he held it before
the old gentleman's eyes, with the re-
mark:
"Just look at that, isn't it fright?
Now how it printed after I scrubbed
out the form with the beer"
He exhibited a sheet from the pile
on the delivery table, which was per-
feet in every way.
"Well, Jones, that does show some
Improvement, I must confess. Tricks
in all trades, hey?"
"You bet your life,' exclaimed the
unabashed Jones, "and by the way, I
gave Johnnie quarter to get that
beer with, knowing that you wouldn't
want it charged to you
"All right, Jones, here's your quar-
ter. and if you need any more beer
next press day, don't hesitate to ask
me for the money"
AS the old man disappeared into
his sanctum, the entire force were
suddenly seized with an uncontrol-
liable desire to "sneeze. ."-Exchange.
