The supreme court of Connecticut has decided that barbers in that state need not shave colored men, as the barber shop is not a place of public accommodation, within the meaning of the law, and its proprit - tor may make such rules of conduct for it he pleases. Good enough law, to be sure, but how comes such a question before the courts of Con. nectiout4 Surely there is no race prejudice there. There was a time when jug-break ing was very popular. Children were furnished miniature jugs in which to collect funds for Sunday school pur poses, and jug-breaking was an event; but in these days jug-breaking in South Carolina is not as popular -with some people. Marshal Neeley made the first seizure, and Friduy was the first jug breaking in Pickens county under the Carey-Cothran law. On the public square Sheriff Jen nings in the presence of an interest ed and thirsty crowd emptied one gallon out of as dirty and filthy an old jug as ever contained bug-juice What that old jug contained before it became a receptacle for booze is a mystery, but certain it is the owner of the stuff is safer with the coutents of that jug soaking the sod than poisoning his system. If the stuff must be brought into the count., for "Decency's sake" let the shippers be decent., and put the stuff in clea. vessels. The Hight of it was enough to make a horse leave his oats. Piedmont Light and Power Co. And among other good things comes light. What a blessing and comfort it will be to those who are e>mpelled to be away from their homes after the shades of night have fallen. 'The belated traveler as he homeward wecnds his way o'er the atones and through the mud after making a night with the boys, fronm the inrerunost recesses of his sou will sing praises to the originator8 of' the Light and Power Co. It was a primitive sight on Sunday njghts 01 prayer meeting nights to wvatch tl e lights coming and going like fireflies, as the worshippers with their lan terns wero homeward bound. But things have changed and Pickens is coming in out of the darkness, thank goodness. A number of the substar - tial business men of the town with an eye single to the improvement of 4 heir town, met one night and after talking the matter' over organized the Piedmont Light and Power Co., and almost befove the people was awake to the faict of any talk of lights, the con tract was let for a lighting plant. The comnpanuy is incorporated under the laws of the Siate of South C ir olina for the puLrpose of lighting I y acetylene gas and furnishing wate r and poter in the town.
