Blind Tiger Raided.

Sheriff Sim J. Miller made rich
haul of blind tiger liquor yesterday
morning when he, in company with
his son, Julian and constable Roof,
of Chaplin, Ipade raid on the restau-
rant of John Hitler at Peak, seized
barrel that had not been opened and
a half barrel and a few bottles in a
box. The whiskey was brought to
Lexington where it will be safely stor-
ed for 30 days, when the sheriff will
pour it out. Sheriff Miller went to
Chaplin yesterday morning and was
Informed by Constable Roof that
scm=thing was doing as barrel had
just arrived at the depot at Peak and
one a few days before. The Sheriff
already had the place under suspicion
and they went to Peak and the raid
followed. Sheriff Miller is right in
behind the blind tigers Of the county
and those who deliberately violate
the dispensary law will find out yet
that he means business. If the tigers
want to avoid serious trouble with
Sheriff Miller they must simply stop
openly defying the law.

cALVEs-0F THE LEGS.

IA wicked newspaoer up towards
Columbia way is reported to have said
in substance that the fatscalf slaugh-
tered for the prodiga son could not be
compared to the fat calves displayed
by the silk skirt. Now, is that mod
ests We are, and to prove it, we
have put the word "Of the Leg" IN
parenthesis so that our readers will
not see them. What that wicked
paper has hinted may be true in q
,ew instances but, the majority of the
calves displayed by the slit skirt look
more like a bent fire poker with a
smoothing iron attached to the lower
extremity. The hobble skirt makes
the same show, especially when the
hobbled woman is sitting down.
With the foregoing explanation and
correction, the whole matter is refes-
red to The State. .-Edgefield Chronicle.
Right. We have the least fear that
the style will eventually prove popu-
lar hereabouts, and especially among
those 'ssweet things'' who walk on
'.stilts.''

Will Bouknight in the right eye kill
ing him instantly.
Smith was arrested by Magistrate
Lorick and held pending the decision
of ooroner's jury, which rendered a
verdict that the deceased came to his
death from q wound of bullet of a
pistol carelessly handled by Nathaniel
Smith.
Sheriff Miller was summoned Satur-
day morning, and after the inquest.
took the negro into custody and now
has him safely incarcerated in jail

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Undoubtedly the greatest, the most
instructive, potent and beneficial of
our county institutions is the fair.
Every farm and home in the county
should be represented with the various
products and accomplishments of the
wear that would tend to improve rural
life conditions here in the county.
Especially do we lay stress upon the
exhibits of the novelty work in the
home. In addition to the information
and pleasure, which is well worth the
time it takes to prepare the exhibits
a number of valuable and useful prizes
have been proffered,, large number
of which are special prizes, and are
offered by business and patriotic men
throughout the county. The catalog
is in the hands of the printers and will
coutaih possibly fifteen or twenty
pages more than heretofore, which
indicates marked Improvement over
that of last year. Mr.. Thos. L, Har-
man, the superintendent, and Nr. M.
D. Harman, secretary of the fair
association, are wasting no time and
energy in the work, and we bespeak
for tia great success this year.

Court Judges Against Rum,

In view of the effort being made by
certain parties in Abbeville county to
have the whiskey shops returned to
that county. a gentleman Lying IN
Abbeville wrote the circuit judges ask
ing them the following questions:
Gin your experience as a Judge,
what has been your observation of the
relation of whiskeY to crime?
"What proportion of court costs is
due to whiskey?
'Have you known OF a county in
which dispensary was at the time
operated, where regular term of
criminal court was called Off?
t'What is your advice to a people
who are called on to vote "for'' or
"against" d1spensary?"
The responses are interesting. Judge
J. w. DeVore wrote:-"Whiskey and
disreputable negro women are about
on a par in causing crime, and the two
in combination cause much crime.
Il am not aware of any criminal
court being called off in county where
there is dispensary." In reply to
the last question he advises national
prohibition, without answering the
direct question submitted.
Judge Geo. E. Prince replied.
"Whiskey is responsible for a great
deal of crime. I have never heard ror
known of county in which there was
dispensary calling off regular term
of criminal court. My advice to
people called on to vote on the dis
pensary question is, vote against it.
!, Trusting that the people of your county
will have the good Judgment and the
manhood to settle this question right,
I am," etc.
Judge Geo. W. Gage:-"I think that
most of the crimes Of violence in this
State are traceable to the use of intox-
icants. In sixteen years. upon the
circuit, have not yet found such
county with Jail empty at term time.
In my Judgment the best way for our
people to abolish the sale of intoxi-
cants, is to quit the use of intoxicants.
About their use, there ought not to be
but one opinion"
Judge Hayne F. Rice says
wherever intoxicating beverages are
easiest to obtain, there the percentage
of crime is greatest. Probably seven
ty-flve to ninety per cent of costs of
the courts of sessions are traceable
either directly or Indirectly to intoxi-
eating liquors. In answer to your
third inquiry I say, No. .'-Greenville

grims-Thanksgiving Day. What
seemed to be almost a complete failure

prospects of a bumper crop, especially
late corn. The early corn was retard-

The crops generally are good through
