A Good Move.

The greatest chain of drug stores
in America is called Liggetts. Its
president, Louis X. Liggett celebrated
New Years day by issuing this or
der to its stores in Boston and twen-
ty-one other cities in the United States
and Canada:
From this date no intoxicating IL
quors of any kind will be sold in any
Liggetts stores in the United States or
Canada
This is wholly voluntary step to-
ward high ideals, for the law
quite generally sanctions the sale OF
liquor by drug stores in quantities
of half pint or more. Liggetts had
already discontinued throughout it's
chain or retail stores the sale Of hab-
Informing drugs, or anything to be
used for questionable purposes, not
waiting for these things to be forbid
den by law.-Colliers Weekly.

"Kill Child" Cried Father.

Atlanta, Feb. 6.-Everybody who
read the Engli:h novel, Clayhanger,
and nearly everybody did, will recall
the almost unbelievable story of how
the little boy was forced to work in
the factory, beaten, and checked and
bleeding from the blows.
Exactly that same story has been
going on here in Atlanta for weeks past
except that the victim was a little
girl instead of boy. The factory was
not to blame. The cruelty is laid at
the door of the child's own father and
her step-mother.
The girl is Iona Edwards, daugh-
ter of w. C. Edwards, OF 156 JONES
avenue The chief witnesses against
him are the operatives of local mill.
They tell of how the little girl used TO
come to work every morning with her
: ;aoulders bruised and sometimes
bleeding, and would tell them that her
father or stepmother had beaten her.
Once, they said there was blood on the
little girls mouth, and she told them
her father had choked her that morn
ing until the blood ran out OF her
mouth and nose This went On for
some time, the little girl toiling all the
while in the mill, until the mil! people
themselves reported the affair to the
police.
The father has been arrested, and
the police are looking fer the step

Neighbors say that on one occasion
the father told the stepmother, who

A. c. L. GIVES BIG ORDER.
Large Amount of Rolling Stock.
Mammoth Locomotives.

Florence, February 1T is stated
on official authority that the Atlantic
Coast Line has just placed very
large order for rolling stock for use On
its entire lines from Richmond to st.
Petersburg and branches. Ninety OF
the large Pacific type passenger and
freight locomotives, 1000 box cars, 500
fiat cars, 100 stock cars, 100 coaches OF
the most modern design and other
needed rolling stock are said to be
s3n7e of the order recently placed. 1t
will be only a short time now before
the big engines" that have been on
the run between Florence and Rocky
Mount and Rocky Mount and Rich
mond will be sent down to the second
division and used on the Florence
Charleston-S Savannah Passenger ard
freight runs. AS SOC. IS these mon
sters are put On that run ali crews will
run directly through from Florence to
Savannah, and vice versa, cutting out
the Charleston stop-off. The delay is
being caused by the softness OF the
new double track between Charleston
and Santea River trestle. AS soon as
his gets d little mora. sclid the mon
sters will be put On and the trains
heightened by two or more sieepers.
These engines will pull fourteen sleep
ers and make sixty miles the hour
without the least effort. 1t has been
done on the short cut division" be-
tween Florence and Contentna, and one
night last week one of these engines,
driven by one of the finest and most
reliable enginemen on the run, made
the remarkable time Of seventy-nine
miles the hour with twelve sleepers on
a portion Of the run.

The Small Farmer Can be a Good
Farmer.

The man with one horse and one pig
needs as much to study how to feed
these animals. and needs to care for
them just as faithfully as does the
man with barn full CT stock. The

first man than whole herds and fiocks
to the other.

the man with a ten-acre crop to buy
his fertilizer 10 advantage as it IS for
the man with hundreds Of acres. And,

Beach Joins Wife.

After shaking hands all around with
his lawyers, the judge, the clerks and
the bailiffs, Beach hurried away to
join his wife who had remained at the
hotel. Mrs. Beach had been notified of
the verdict by telephone.
Formeman McCarroll said, after the
jury had been discharged, that a YER
dict would have been reached in a
much shorter time but for the DISPOSE
ton cf one or two Of the jurors to
discuss everything under the sun ex-
cept the Beach case"

said Mr.. Beach a short time later OIL
his way to the telegraph Office. Mr.
Peach would aot discuss his plans fur
ther than to say that he and Mrs.
Beach expected to leave tomorrow af-
ternocn to visit friends in the North.
Awaiting the Verdict.
During the half hour the jury was
out before recess was ordered, Beach
and his wife chatted gaily with neigh
bors of their set, who crowded around
to offer a word of encouragement
Neither of them appeared to be con-
cerned in the least over the outcome of
the trial. Mrs. Beach asked for a news
paper and laughed with Mrs. Harry

chair, as she read some. Of the refer

about the presumption of innocence,
and said that the prosecution was

ment, that Mrs. Beach was cut with a

Orangeburg, Feb. 5.-The following
report was made by the ltgis!atur"
committee appointed to investigate
the conditions of the State educational
institutions conc<rning the State

The buildings, equipment and

an impression of system and efficiency
that doubtless IS not misleading. Sew

81 little barns cannot be kept IN pro-
per condition. When these nads snail
have been supplied the general appear
ance of the institution will be much
in,proved. but there are evidences tnat
the most IS being made of existing con-
<litions and facilities.
The impression got from our necss-
sarily brief stay was that the student
body is under good discipline and that
there is a spirit of cooperation be-
1weer. them and the faculty. The STU
dents assembled at dinner were order
" and neatly dressed, the meal was
we'll served and we'll cooked. The new
dining room is attractive and the
Kitchen is adequate, except that 1t
should be supplied with some labor
saving equipment as soon as the trus-
tees can afford it; this room, with its
adioizing pantries, is not properly
screened, but we are informed that the
trustees plan to have this finished be-
lore spring.
Heating Plant Installed.
The principle expenditure for per-.
nanent improvements last year was
from the appropriation of $4,000 for
central staam heating plant. This was
installed under the general supervision
of President w NJ Riggs, OF Clemson,
and seems, admirably adapted to the
needs of the several buildings. This
plant in properly heating buildings
that were very poorly heated before,
is resulting. we are Informed, in a
saving Of money, and eliminates dan
ger from fire, which formerly threat
ened the institution when the build
ings, most of which are frame, were

will be remembered that about three
years go one Of the large dormitorlss
OF this college WAS burned by fire,
which presumably caught from one Of
the many stove ffuss that were con-

The requests for approximation this
year are mod st. The total asHnd FOR

of any sort. An instant later the ia

man appeared in the doorway, his face

to greet his lawyers, Mr.. Beach walk

minutes passed and Beach did not ap-
