I The first dispensary case tried j
in courts in this State which resulted
in a conviction was that of K
F. G. Holtzclaw, of Greenville. He
was sentenced to serve nine months
in the penitentiary or pay a fine of
600. Holtzclaw was one of the
Greenville dispensers and was
charged with shortage and overdrawing
his salary.

Judge Samuel AlcGowan died at
this home in Abbeville last
Monday, at the aee of about 79 j
years. The news of his death;
will be received with profound
sorrow throughout the common\
wealth. As a soldier, a statesre-:
. man, a jurist and a patriot his
; state never called upon him in
lp ? vaio%and his services throughout
an extended and eventful public
' We will long be cherished by his
fellow citizens.
Bis lar public service was as
u associate justice of the supreme
court wbere his eminent
talentf and judicial fairness won
|-V-- him aditkmal honor. Through
(be exigencies of politics he was
retired and has since been quietly
living at his home in Abbeville,
r._ ^(a??ng no active part in public
affairs; but his counsel and advice
jpagfc1 were often sou lit and when
r given was always with the single
^ . view of doing the state and peoxHi'iwid.
* I
Can a death, which is caused by
Ev ' a mosquito bite, properly be called
accidental ? The court of apij
' peal* of Kentucky has so decided,
aud the decision . appears to the
?r- Chicago Times Ileralu to oe very
good law. A Kentuuky traveling
man took out an accident policy
for $5,000 and departed on a journey.
In Rome, Ga., before he
grose one morning his right foot
became uncovered and a mosquito
hovering near, waiting for an earlv j
breakfast, settled on the foot "at
the base of the fourth toe," and j
gorged hemself. Blood poisoning
as the doctors testified, was the |
result of the bite, and the man,
died. When sued on the policy
the company contended that a
mosquito bite was not an accident,
and consequently they ought not!
to be compelled to pay. The low
er Court agreed with th^ company,
but on appeal the higher
Court reversed the case and gave
judgment for the widow who had
brought the suit.

We ronie>'S that the statement!
surprises us, says the Newherry j
Voice of t lie People. The Voice ,
joined in the "hog and hominy";,
agitation because it believed great
benefits would result, but it did
not thick that one million of dollars
would be prevented from
leaviMg the Stale in such a short
period ol time, if the statement
made by the representative to the.
News and Courier is correct more
than one million of dollars must
have remained in this state as a
result of the agitation, for l<e was >
only tho representative of one
lirm. It is reasonable to suppose
that other Chicago fir us lost trade |
here in proportion to the size of j
their business. Brtt if onlv onej
million of dollars were kept in \
this state, surely that is enough |
to convince any one of the wis/I

The question naturally arises:
Are th^re not other things we

keep our money in circulation

in order that our readers might J

There is a local capitalist whose
mother-in-law. to the chagrin ami
[Klin of her immediate tamily ami
descendants, persists m taking on
Hesh at an alarming rate. She has
Irieti Hautiug and dumbbells withuiit
any appreciable result ami now
would almost attempt the hicycle if
the city council would vote her the
use ot one entire street to learn in.
While such a thing as her avoirdupois
is never treated lightly in her
presence, wheu she is not around it
inevitably leads to more or less humorous
remarks. Her little granddaughter
frequently uses her weight
us a term of comparison. The stone
sidewalk near the house is badly
cracked on one side of the street,
while ou the other it is in an excellent
state of preservation, which
Ktato ot things the little girl insists
is due to the tact that her grandmother
walks almost entirely on the
injured side.
The other day tho capitalist's
wife, in accordance with an old family
custom, decided to have her
mother's portrait painted. She mentioned
it to her husband, and without
thinking twice about the matter
he told her to go ahead. Chicago
boasts some artists of considerable
reputation, and these artists are frequently
able to boast the roceipt of
large sums for their work. Tho lady
in question sat for one of them. In
a short space of time he transferred
her lineaments, together with a
smile prepared for tho occasion, to
canvas.
A few days Later her son-in-law,
who. thouirh a wealthy man, abhors
extravagance, receive*! a bill for the
Baine. It cauie one morning before
he left for business. He tore open
the envelope ami glanced at it a moment
The amount asked was
1)00.
"Why, heavens, Maria," he said,
turning to liis wife, who was standing
near him, "that m;*i must

A Man Did It. ^
Every woman will be glajlv{to
know that it was a man who <nd it
?a man of wide experience the
world :tn general and in mdth&ls of
travel in particular. Ho was a New
York rxan, and it was his first visit
to this western city. He had registered,
more by chance than anything
else, at a certain hotel, taken
dinner there, and started out to tako
his first view of the place. Almost
the fust thing he did was to run
across an acquaintance, who, by
reason of his superior knowledge of
the nlace. felt called upon to give
some advice.
"What hotel are you stopping at,
old trf'.M ?" he asked. "The best hotel
here is the Metropolitan. That
is where I am stopping, and you had
better come up there."
"I will," said the traveler, and a
little later, returning to his hotel,
he gave up his room and started out
to find the Metropolitan. "Just
around the corner." said the first
man he asked. "I will show you,"
and turning he guided the traveler
to the hotel he had just left, and the
latter, as he registered for a second
time in thut hotel that day, thought
things to himself of the man who
could go to a hotel and not learn its
name.?New York Times.

But you don't How should
you? When you are going to
