On looking back into our files to con-
firm a recollection of the fact that
while The Enquirer supported Feath-
erstone in the campaign of 1910 with
all the ability it could muster, it did
not undertake to emphasize prohibi-
ton, as the News and Courier seems
to think, we ran upon quite number
of paragraphs that would be of strik-
ing interest just now, if the political
situation were active enough to justify
their reproduction. Three of these
paragraphs, however, in The Enquirer
of August 9, 1910, seem to be especially
appropriate to the subject which just
now appears to most concern the
News and Courier. They are as fol-
lows:
Twist it and turn it as you please,
as between Messrs. Featherstone and
Mcleod; but there is no question OF
the fact that while Mr.. Featherstone
was fighting the old state dispensary
abomination with all the power he
could bring to bear, Mr.. Mcleod stood
for this same dispensary abomination
as the best solution of the liquor ques-
ton. And at that time everybody
knew how rotten the dispensary abom-
nation was. They knew virtually as
much about it then as they do now"
The News and Courier is out for
Mcleod. There is nothing surprising
about that, however, as it is against
prohibition, and like the Columbia
State, it would not support Blease."
The News and Courier says there is
no moral issue involved i'm the guber-
material campaign. We think there is
but we do not expect anybody but Pro-
hibitionists to be able to see it,"

LOCAL LACONlCS.
Shot From the Roadside.

Fort Mill Times: Magistrate ]. w,
McElhaney was called upon Thursday
to hold an inquest over the body OF
Isom Faulkner, colored, who had been
killed by gunshot Wednesday night on
the Mccoy farm, four miles north of
Fort Mill. The jury found that
Faulkner's death was due to gunshot
at the hands Of one Arthur Russell
also colored. The evidence brought
out at the inquest was in substance
that Russell and Faulkner had quar-
relied about two weeks ago at the home
of a negro woman and that the latter
shot Russell, wounding him slightly.
Russell probably swore to have revenge
for Wedneday night when Faulkner
left the house of the negro woman to
get a bucket of water at a nearby
spring he was shot twice from the
roadside one shot entering the stomach
and the other the side Of the head. A
short time after the shooting Russell
went to the home of Mr.. Walter Nc
Kinney and with the latter returned to
the scene of the killing and explained
to Mr.. Mckinney just how the shooting
took place. Russell then disappeared
and his whereabouts are still un-
known.

A patrol of the California from
tier by United States troops, abolished
only a short time ago, was ordered
re- established Wednesday by the
war department because Of a threat
ening situation just south of the bOr-
der i'm Lower California, Mexico. A
company of coast artillery at San Die
go. Cal, was instructed to take the
field for patrol duty from San Diego
to Yuma. AriZ. Mexican rurales are
now proceeding to Tiajuana, travelling
over American territory with the con-
sent of the United States government,
for the purpose of suppressing the
trouble in Lower California. 1t is
feared by the state department that
when the Mexican soldiers arrive on
the scene to clear out the disturbers,
some of the latter may seek refuge I'm
the United States and commit depre-
datiOns on American SOIL For that
reason Secretary Knox appealed to
the war department to send the bor-
der a patrol adequate to protect
American interests.

1t is an absolute fact, backed by
statistics, that a smaller aggregate cot
ton crop always brings more money
than a larger one. If the growing
crop is really as large "a the govern
ment says it is, then the way to get
the most out of it will be to market
it gradually. There are those who will
argue that there is nothing in this
suggestion; but they will have diff
cult time of it convincing thoughtful,
we'll informed people that except for
the agitation and organization that
followed the terrible depression In
prices a few years back, the cotton
producers of the south would have
never been able to get prices up to the
living basis they have reached since.

CONSUMPTION Spreads In Dus'

Consumption Spreads In Dust.-A
warning against the dangers of dust
has been issued by the National AS
sociation for the study and preven-
ton of tuberculosis. "Dusts are of
three kinds, factory, street and house
dusts." While among males gener-
ally in the registration area Of the
United States 14.5 per cent Of all
deaths are from consumption, the
mortality among grinders from this
disease is 1872 per cent, and in hard
ly any of the dusty trades is 1t below
25 per cent. The percentage Of deaths
from tuberculosis among all those eX-
posed to metallic dust is 36.9 per cent;
to mineral dust, 2S.6 per cent; to
vegetable fibre dust, 2S.S per cent; to
mixed animal and other forms OF
dust, 32.1 per cent; to street dust,
25.5 per cent; and to organic. or dust
coming from the articles being manu-
featured, 23 per cent. The statement
speaks also Of the dangers from house
dust, especially in rooms that are not
well ventilated. The association
warns against dry sweeping, and
against the use of the feather duster,
or other devices that scatter. but do
not take up the dust. Since the ordi-
nary dust blown about In the streets
Is impregnated with disease germs,
the National association urges the
adoption of methods that will prevent
the further dissemination of such
bacilli. 1t also urges for the coming
months of fall and winter, more open
windows and more fresh air In house,
shop and schoolroom.

- Greenville, August II: At seven
o'clock this morning w. M. Muller,
an aged and respected white citizen
Of Greenville, sat himself down in a
rocking chair in his lonely quarters
over a mercantile establishment and
put hole through his head with an
old-fashioned revolver. When neigh
bors reached the scene the old mans
writhing body was still in the chair,
and the fingers of one hand tightly
drawn around the butt and trigger Of
the pistol. The rash act did not Gre
ate surprise, as the old man had re-
peatedly stated to others that he in
tended committing suicide. Muller
was a sign painter and for the past
dozen years or more had made Green
Vile his home. He was of a promi-
nent family and years ago conducted
large mercantile establishment in
Augusta. He is said to have one sis
ter, Mrs Berg, who resides in Co
lumbia. 1t Is thought that the soli-
tary life he led together with falling
health, affected his mind and caused
him to take his life. At the time he
died he was engaged in painting sew
eral hundred signs to distribute
throughout the county Of Greenville.

- Columbia, August 16: Commission
er Watson has issued a statement
showing the bad condition Of imported
corn meal. The situation can, OF
course, be entirely avoided by the
grinding of home raised corn. The in
quiry is relative to meal. The state
ment of Commissioner Watson reads:
The first preliminary laboratory re-
ports on samples of corn meal, drawn
officially from the open market in
eleven cities and towns in the state
have been filed with me-" said Com
missioner Watson. In not single
case has a sample come up to the
standard of fitness for either human or
animal consumption. In some in
stances the toXidity runs so high as to
make the stuff extremely dangerous
The results of the scientific eXamina-
tions show that the meal was either
made from rotten corn, the sale OF
which we would not have permitted in
this state for animal food, or else the
meal has spoiled since it was ground
and put upon the market. We only
began to touch this corn meal and grits
situation a few weeks ago and l have
been satisfied from the evidence we
had obtained in connection with our
work with whole grain corn, that we
ed by the reports filed with me. 1t is
noteworthy also that the worst goods
are found being sold in localities In
the state where the disease of pellagra
is most prevalent and has proven more
fatal than elsewhere. / cannot say
exactly what course will be pursued In
dealing with this condition of affairs
as the reports have only just reached
me. 1t is not unlikely that you may
hear of number of seizures, however
in short order. One thing is certain
as far as the law allows, no effort will
be spared to put a summary stop tC
the unloading of this class of food up
on the unsuspecting people of South
Carolina. Whether or not spoiled corn
| is causing pellagra, we have found
| that stuff clearly unfit for human OF
animal consumption is being generally
shipped in here by the mills and that
the people are eating it, and the only
| step that is proper and that offers any
remedy is to drive this class of rotten
material from the markets. 1t will
probably take just such a fight as we
have been through this year to put the
shipper of rotten whole grain corn out
of the market, and if it does we are ir
it to a finish. The reports on the
samples from the Glendale village have
not yet reached me, but they will be
available in a few days." Commissioner
Watson concluded.

Tiny's Thanksgiving.

way lot your turkey III YOU Wdhb
your money back" Sounds Of
this kind greeted Tiny's ears
as she walked up the street Of
that big city. How jammed
the stands and windows seemed!
Tiny thought she could hear
them groan under their heavy
burden Of Thanksgiving varities,
and a great longing came into
her heart as she stood gazing in
at the window at the six, big,
golden brown turkeys all in a
row, with what seemed to Tiny
"A real, little boy and girl, with
broad smiles Of their faces at
each side Of the window, point
ing TO the golden beauties.
Just then a richly clad lady
stepped out of the market with
her arms full of bundles. She
smiled pleasantly at Tiny as she
passed her, but as she smiled, a
large tear rolled down her cheek,
and, as she wiped it away with
her snowy handkerchief, Tiny
wondered what such a beautiful
lady as she, who appeared to
have all the earthly comforts
one could desire. would have to
shed tears for. Just then the
lady turned and called for her
little daughter to hurry.
AT the sound of her mothers
voice, Oral ran out of the market
leading her little white dog.
Come on, doggie, /" she said, as
her pet seemed to like the inside
of the market better than the
snow outside. In her skirmishes

and she led him toward Tiny
saying. "Ohpaint you glad it's
Thanksgiving tomorrow? Is
yoGr mamma goin' 10 buy one of
them big turkeys for your
Thanksgiving dinner? Why
mamma got one and a whole lot
of other goodies for dinner,
Look, this is my doggie. Amt
he cute? | anti got any little
brothers or sisters to play with
SO papa got this little dog for me
-on my birthday"
Oral asked Tiny so many
questions that she could not
answer them all, but a great
lump came in her throat rs she
told Oral that she was alone in
the world; and how. after hel
father died, her mother had
worked so hard TO keep up the
rent and to clothe and feed both
of them; and how her mother
had taken sick and died Just q
year ago that night, The tears
rolled down Tiny's cheeks as she
thought of n year ago that very
night. the night before Thanks
giving when she looked upon hei
mother for the last tine. How il
did snow that long to-be re.
membered night. 1t seemed as
il il would cover the little los
cabin they were living in, and
how cruel and cold it seemed t.
see her mother put in the deep
hole under the chestnut tree,
"No, | won't have any Thanks
giving dinner tomorrow, | never
have had but one of them dinners.
and that was once when my
mother did extra hard work to
