COUNTERFEITERS.
P. A. Lance and J. W. Ducker have been ; <
trying a rouud with Uncle 8am, and have re '(
ceivtd a knockout blow at an unexpected j
moment. These gentlemen found their way ?
to Greenwood some ten days ago, and were
on our streets brlghtand early Monday morn- '
ing last. F. A. Lance went several times to )
the express office inquiring lor a packiige f>r c
J. W. Ducker, also went to the post otllce ask-'
ing for letters for ihe same gentleman. About j '
ten o'clock Mr. J. W\ Duekett fouud In his j.
mall a letter containing eighty-five dollars In <1
counterfeit five dollar bills addressed to J. VV. Ducker.
This letter after some time was j
turned over to Postmaster L. M. Moore, who J
was advised as to Its contents. Knowing '
that F. A. Lance had already called lor mall i 8
for tbis name, Mr. Moore notified policeman
Wm. McMillan to be on the lookout for him:8
when ha put in his uppearance at the office j
again. Lance was not loug In coming, and ! 8
was soon under arrest charged wttu counter-1
letting. He was taken before U. S. Com mis-! ?
sioner W. G. Chalee, and on the showing | 1
made was released. Afterwards he and Duck- j
or were auain arrested, the latter having been } v
found waiting for tils confederate h short din- K
tance from the city. Lance gave boDd for his !
appearance at the preliminary h?re Friday, j '
and Ducker was put in charge ol Sbcritl Mc-| ^
Caslan. On Friday they were before Com mis-1
sloner Cbafee, and had to hear uew evidence j 0
produced against them. A gentleman from j
Greenville county swore that Ducker had ] f
tried to pass counterfeit money ou him, and 11
positively identified him. No doubt was left 8
in the mind of Mr. Chafee as to their guilt,
and he accordingly held them for trial at the i *
next term of conrt in default of So,001) ball. It;1
Is learned here from the United States au-1
thorltles that a regular baud of counterfeiters i K
are located somewnere to the north of Ashe-! c
vllle, N. C., and are flooding the country with
counterfeit money. These men It Is supposed 1
are members of the band whose business It
was to dispose of the money, and but for the '
mistake in placing the mall of Ducker into I
the box of J. W. Duckett at the post office.; 8
would no doubt be distributing cheap money j
* jimong us dully. Col. B. F. Cunningham ap-, E
r peered for the defendants, but the evidence 1
A was overwhelming against litem, hence he
A could not stay the tide of Justice.
W fWE GBI.GINAL PACKAGE STOKE. t

WD1CO lue piirucipuu ic UI c lucoimc guuvu. j
original package. Jus;, now iheS'aie has
struck her antagonist a rogu ar Pitz immons j \
blow, and bus It lying mercilessly before her. ?
The only question which is now agitating lh?speciators
is whether or not original package
will get up in time to try the next round. On
last Saturday, Sept. i)tb, the State authorities
closed up theestabjisbmeni run hereby Spen- ,
cer & Cobb, arresting Mr. Chas. Cobb and his I
clerk, Mr. Peter Pounds. These parties at I
once gave bond, and employed Messrs. Ball, j
Ulmktns ?& Park to look alter their interests. 1
On Tuesday last these gentlemen went before
Judge Slmomon at Plat Hock, X. C., aud asked
tor an injunction against tbe constable's
further Interference with their business
JudgeSlmonton refused to grant a temporary
order in the case, but Issued rules against the >
Btale authorities requiring them to show c
cause bAlore him in Charleston on Oct. 6th, as j J
to why such Injunction should nol be grant-j
' ed. Greenwood it will be remembered was a (|
"dry" town before the dispensary law weui j
Into effect,aud has sluce voted against ihees- r
tablishmentof adlspeusarv here. Itlsclalm- f
ed by the Slate that Inasmuch as It cannot t
sell liquor here, tbe original package men ^
should also be excluded. This contention Is c
supported by some of the best lawyers lu the
State, while sotne equally as prominent take :
the opposite view. On this account the opln-1
ion ot Judge Simonton in this case is anxiously
awaited.
ROSENBERG'S OPENING.
Mr. A. Rosenberg had something new in the
way of an "opening" here last week. Instead
of having two day* as has been his custom,
this season be bad all on one day and the iolI
lowing night. This change seems to have
been a success because nearly every one in
town, the meu as well a? the ladies, turned
out to see what he had. His display of goods
was very beautiful, and is said by those who
are abl' to Judge to be on* of the best ever
seen In Greenwood. Mr. Kos?-nberg is a thorough
business man and can be counted on to
ferve the public with the best and cheapest of
everything in his line.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT. {
The little chfld of Mr. Telford Reynolds |
came near experiencing a serious accident on ',
last Friday. It had In some wise found Its ;
way to the C. & W. C. Railroad near the out-;
skirts of the town and toh on the track as ;
the train from Spartanburg came into Green- I
wood. No one saw It. and the train knocked |
it from the track. I)r. W. 1j. Hood was called, i
and after examination found that while it!
was painfully bruised, uoserious luiuries had 1
been*sustained.

for Oar Chief Educational Institution*.
Lust Wednesday morning the cords were
tiled and the rusty hammers that have been
inging silently In the towers of Ersklne
>llege and the Due West Female College
ruck the great dusty bell that, responding,
ve forth the call "to books." A great mul.ude
of sludeuts assembled In the rlassoms
of these educational Institutions. Proisors
and students having had a long vaca>n,
they each entered upon the year's work
ith a commendable zaal and the proud dermination
to do their full duty. The Incased
attendance upon the class rooms at
ch of the colleges was most gratifying to evy
lover of these Institutions, and furnished
e best evidence of the acceptability of the |
jrk which has heretofore been done by the !
ofessors. The facts show Increased public I
llh In the colleges, and evince the growing
ibltlon of parents to educate their sons
d daughters for the higher walks and to
them for the more Important duties of life.
\s good and loyal citizens should buy their
ods from neighboring stores, so parents
ould educate their children in home instlMnns
The endowments In most of the col
;es enables our institutions to offer great
ducements In the way of securing a splen
i education at a low coBt In money.

Why Minor* Should not be Allowed
to Kent Postofllce Boxes.
It has been properly decided minors Cf.nnot q
rent letter boxes In postofliees. A geneml order
from Washington has gone forth tc that a
effect. The reason given for this action is u
that the Governraeofedoes not wish to be a R<
party to the secret correspondence of callow 0
youths and maidens that might ha carried on jf
In the safety of the letter box. Several cases D
of harm have been reported hs a result of such ?
correspondence. The postmaster can hardly ti
contract with a mrnor in any case unlesii the ^
latter has the sanction of his parrents, und n
certainly the office cannot afford to lerid it- j(
sel r to any sceme for the advancement of love
affairs between designing youth aud silly b
gir s. There Is too much of this vealy y
courtship in evidence as it is. Too many ^
youngsters of school age are allowed to parade
the streets at night to make acquaintances
that cannot result to the advantage of
anybody, and to acquire troubles that oae is
noi easily freed from. It is well for boys and
girls to associate together, but It should be in
the open freedom of the home, the playground E
and the school rather than the streets. And e
parents to discourage the idea ol forwardness G
In tbe girls ana or impuaence in me ooys. s
Many youngsters who are still In their knickerbockers
conceive that they have arrived Ht Cl
discretionary years when they can tramp the t
sidewalks unattended, smoke fetid cigarettes ?
and address Insulting remarks to girls and
young women whom they pass. They are
a nuisance, and they require not merely a restraint
of postal privileges but of tbe warm j
parental hand.

An Explanation.
Some of our competitors are trying to "fly
low" our free gift lu furniture by saying to

bject In making these gifts to our customers
i to advertise our business and Increase it, If
