Greenwood and Near.Beer.

That the near-beer business is lot
to flourish in Greenwood Guy or Coun-
ty has been settled Some weeks
ago Mr.. 7, B. Hughes, who has a
store at Grendel mill number two he
gan to sell what was purportcd to be
n@r-beer. Mr. Hughes it is said
was doing a fourshing business.
Sheriff Mcmillan was soon on TO the
situation, warrant was sworn out,
and Mr., Hughes was bound over to
court.
The case was tried in the court on
last Wednesday, and verdict rem
dered against Hughes. The fine i'm
posed was $500 and six months i'm
prisonment which sentence is suspen-
ded under promise of good behavior.
This settles the question and nei-
ther Mr.. Hughes nor any one else
VIII venture to violate openly and de-
hantly the liquor laws Of the State
In this county Had Hughes won his
case, conditions would have been
intolerable, but he did not win for
which the good people of Greenwood
are thankful indeed.-Greenwo

Another point of interest in connec-
ton with the Laurens and Newberry
cases is that the near beer dealers
are represented by the same attorneys
and that these attorneys are not local
men in either case.
The following is the clipping from
The Herald and News:
The question as to whether or not
Newberry is to have near-beer sa-
loon is to be decided by Judge Gary
at chambers early in July. Some time
ago MIR. J. T. Lawson undertook to
open such place on the Prosperity
road, just beyond the incorporate
limits of the city. but was closed by
the governor Mr. Lawson. through
his attorneys has filed a petition with
Judge Gary, setting forth his reasons
and requesting that an injunction be
issued against the city of Newberry.

interfering with his oper. mig a near
beer saloon in the city of Newberry.
Judge Gary has granted temporary
Injunction, which will be heard on
July s. The papers were served on
Wednesday by Sheriff Buford. The pc
htion and the order granting the tenn
porary injunction are published in
this connection
Mayor Langford is in Rock Hill at

Gil would fight to the bitter end and
exhaust every means In It's power to
prevent the establishment of any
near-beer saloon in Newberry.
Attorney Blease has been asked to
come home and will take up the mat
ter, and, of course, return will be made
to the petition and the argument
against the establishment OF a near
beer saloon Will be made before Judge
Gary at Laurens on July 8.

cape from under the noses OF guards
who had been put on notice that the
escape would be attempted. The news
columns of the paper have dealt mild
~ with Vaughn, for reasons evident
upon the face of the charges and out
of respect for the order of which he
was member. Behind the mere sug-
Sestions of the horrible details of the
crimes he is charged with committing
are facts which have been gathered
by those in position to do so and IL
these were made public it would make
the blood of every man boil. The
proofs of his guilt, already conclusive
have been made ,moib sdtby ibis desire
to escape trial. If the county of
Greenville has not at its disposal suf-
hcient funds for . thorough search
for the criminal, the state should lend
its assistance. A mere reward should
not suffice in an instance like this.
Immediate steps should be taken to
scour the whole country and the whole
world, for that matter, in order that
the fiend may be caught Expense
should be entirely ignored. He should
be caught II an extra tax levy were
necessary to supply the cost of the
chase. Such crimes as he has com
mitted should not go unpunished.

that sense in my boyhood 1t | had
not been so degraded then should

JAMES f. BYRNES.

The friends and admirers of James
f. Bynes the brany young congress
man from the second district, are
watching with interest the progress of
his campaign for re-electiom Nh.
Byrncs is one among that few con
gressmen who go to Washington and
make any Kind of an impression dur
ing a first term. 1t didn't take a whole
term even for Mr.. Byrncs to make him
self known, for during the very first
session he attracted favorable atten-
ton from the lawmakers He now
enjoys the distinction of serving upon
such important committees as have
heretofore gone only to experienced
legislators and he is making good.
With the prestige and experience gain
ed In such short time. Mr. Byrnes
bids fair to become one Of the most
useful and influential members of the
party in Washington.
Mr.. Byrnes is a deep thinker, a close
student Of public affairs, an impartial
Judge of the needs of his constituents
and a polished speaker. Brilliancy OF
thought and readiness in repartee has
made him a finished debater as, well
as able stump speaker Stunning the
petty contrivancies of the demagogue
to attack votes he strikes straight
from the shoulder with telling effect,
as is instanced in his speech at Bam-
berg the other day when his oppo-
nent. Col. Harry ID. Calhoun, tried to
trump up against him that old charge
OF fayoring social equality. 1t will

THE NEAR.BEER SITUATION.

From a survey of the near-beer sit
uation as 1t now exists in this city
and in Newberry, it would seem that
a systematic effort is going to be made
to flood the prohibition counties of this
state with near-beer. There are sew
eral significant things about the Lau-
rens and Newberry injunctions which
1t would be we'll to take not of.
The first of these is that the same
attorneys are employed by the two
near-beer dealers. Even more signifi-
cant is the fact that these attorneys
are from Spartanburg where the near
beer traffic is "H6t8fious" and more
over that in spite of the fact that they
have been sought by two distant towns
they have heretofore been only of
local Spartanburg famei That these
attorneys are In touch with others be-
sides the retail dealers seems to be
conclusive. The fight evidently has
the brewers behind 1t.
Another significant thing in connec-
tion with the fight has to do with the
Newberiy case. 1t seems that Gov.
Blease ordered a rural policeman to
have the near-beer saloon In that
county, which was outside the juris-
diction Of the city government, closed
Instead OF opening up anyhow to
test the state law, the near-beer deal
er takes another tack and prays for
an injunction against the city's en-
forcing one of its ordinances. Why
this step? If the state law would an
ply TO him outside the city limits. GER
tainly it would apply within Why not
take the least expensive route and
test the state law before the city or
dinance? Certain it is, even If the
city ordinance is found unconstitu-
tional, he would be liable to prosccu-
tion under the state law.
Plainly something seems 20 he ",,p
Is it that the ncar-beer dealers have
no fear of the dispensary law o? do
they think that the county oficia,s Will
let them continue operation as they
N "O' ''oio'S II SeehlS lhdt
Greenwood has about settled the mat
ter, in so far as the efficiency of the
law goes, for she has convicted on
proof of the sale of the near-heer.
Judge Gary will most probably order
permanent injunction against the
city interfering with the sale of it next
week and then il Will be left for the
county officials to settle the matter for
this county. 1t should be settled at
this term of court, if the campaign of
the brewers is to be ntpped in the bud.

ASBESTOS DEPOSITS
IN GRAND CANYON
Bed About Mile Long and
Few Feet Deep
Quality Good

In the Grand Canyon OF the Colo
RADIO below Bass camp, one of the
three known localities of asbestos, ia
sixty miles of the great chasm, a
small amount of development work
Was done, but no shipments we're re.
ported in 1911
The 1880 pound sample OF asbestos
from this locality sent by f. b. Pike
OF New York 10 Germany for test,
was reported entirely satisfactory and
OF superior quality, says the Mining
and Engineering World. Electrical
engineers in search OF asbestos free
from magnetic have carefully tested
this asbestos and reported il excel
lent It's high grade in this regard is
consequence of its origin in lime
stone. The lineal extent of the deposit
is great about a milo or more il
each locality, though its thickness is
only a few feet. On the other hand,
the proportion of the high grade crude
10 mill stock is much larger .han in
any other asbestos deposit with which
the writer is acquainted.
II the water power of Shlnumo
creek can be made available. II would
enable the operator to overcome all
difficulties of transportation from the
bottom OF the canyon.
