GAVE UP $50.
For Distributing Whiskey Circulars
on Streets of Dillon.

Distributing whiskey literature in
Dillon comes high. A man who at
tempted to place before Dillonites
the other day circulars testifying to
re merits of a certain brand that
N lid bring unbounded Joy during
the holidays fell into the clutches
of the cops and when he was ar
raigned before the Mayor he paid a
a fine of $50 and proceeded to an
other town The name of the man
Is unknown, but shortly after he
arrived in town he began to distrib-
ute circulars and order blanks in
tie stores and other public places
II was not very long before a cop
camped on his trail and before the
drummer had visited more than half
the stores he was taken into GUS
tody. The verdict OF the public is
that ii served him right. A man
who knows 30 little about human
nature as TO suspect that Dillonites
would use such thing as whiskey
ought to be sent to an asylum.

The following memorial ofMr. R.
b. Mclean, was adopted by the
session Of the Dillon Presbyterian
church. November 13, 1910.
Death having invaded our ranks
end removed from our midst our
dear brother and fellow worker
Robt b. Mclean, we, the session of
the Dillon Presbyterian church
would express to his family our
sincerest sympathy in their great
bereavement, and to the world our
nigh appreciation OF his character
and worth, and would record the
deep sense of personal loss which
, We individually feel, OF his many
virtues we need not speak, for his
life was an open book. known and
read by all men. In both his pri-
vHte and public life he was known
as man of unQuestioned honor
and integrity, whose life was with
out repraoch.
Kind, generous and sincere, he
was admired and loved by all who
knew him. After a quiet, useful
and happy life of nearly sixty-sey-
en- years he peacefully passed away
August 18th, 1910, leaving to his
Family and to the church and to the
community the precious legacy of
an untarnished name and noble
example of Christian manhaad.
Our hearts are grieved that he is
no more to meet with us here, but
We bow low in submission to Gods
holy will and thank him for the
sweet and helpful Intercourse and
Fellowship which we have enjoyed
for so many years with the beloved
friend whom He has called to his
eternal home.

1t was stated in The Herald last
week that Coroner Gasque did not
hold an inquest over the body of
Lorenz Bethea. the colored boy who
was killed while hunting near Lit
tie Rock. Mr.. Gasque did hold an
inquest and the verdict of the jury
was that Bethea came to his death
by the accidental discharge of q
gun in the hands of unknown par
ties. Hunting with Bethea at the
time of the accident were two col
ored boys and one of the boys tes-
titled that Bethea told him just be-
fore he died that the other boy
shot him accidentally. The accused
hoy stoutly denied the accusation
and in the absence of further testi-
mony the jury rendered an open
verdict

Mr.. Elrod said last night that he
wrote To Scrogginger two weeks
ago He did not know that he had
come TO Columbia.
When Scrogginger's body was
found it was lying face down, be-
tween the crossties, with the mutt
lated limbs stretched across the
west rail of the track. The man had
apparently fallen on the track i'll a
Stupor.
The injured man was taken in a
dying condition TO the Columbia
hospital, where everything possible
was done to save him. In spite OF
the efforts of the physicians. he
died in three hours.
At the transfer station numerous
inquiries were received last night
about the identity VI the dead man
from residents in the section OF Co.
lumbia where his body was found
Many of the inquiries were women,
anxious about a husband or son
who had not come home.

This week The Herald is crowd
ed with advertisements and a lot of
reading matter will have to be
omitted. We are printing IL pages,
but the demand upon our advertis-
ing columns has been 80 heavy
that even the additional four pages
do not provide the space necessary
to meet the requirements OF our
patrons and advertisements had to
be declined at the last moment.
The month Of December is always
q record-breaking month in the ad-
vertising line, but this year the de-
mand for space has moore than ex-
ceeded our expectations. So great
was the rush that the doors of the
office were not closed from Monday
morning at z o'clock until Tuesday
night, the entire force working
through the night. This shows that
advertisers appreciate the value of
The Herald's columns and are get
ting results.

1t was fate that made Juliet's birth

not expected that the course OF true
love will run smooth. and, heretofore.
the love affair of Juliet had had no un-

he loved her. and they both loved his
mother.
Now and then a little jealousy OF
Carter's mother crossed Juliet's mind.
The older woman was fascinating and
beautiful in way that Juliet had
never been and never could be. Juliet
was pretty and fresh and pink and
white. while Carter's mother was
stately and classic.
The two women talked OF the son
and lover who was In the far west,
and planned for his Homecoming.
He will get here in our birthday

have two cakes; a white one for you
and gold cake for me. You shall
have white candles and I'll have vel
low ones. and we will have jonquils
and lilies OF the valley In the middle
of the table"
Their disappointment came when
Carter wrote that he could not get

sent box with his letter. In It was

The next day the two women went
downtown together. Mrs. Crowell

Juliet answered family. The purse
at close range seemed 80 desirable
and the books on the shelf were re-
mote. She wanted something that
she could show the girls, something
that would glitter and swing from a
silver chain and add the final touch
to her costume. On the way home
she still cherished her sense of griey-
ance. To quiet her doubts she got
out Carter's letter. II was written In
his usual difficult scrawl, and she
read 1t slowly. It breathed his love
for her and she went to bed CON-
forted.
But the next day her best girl
friend came to see her. What did
