Sj A Xcw Lumber Company. Mr. P. Rosenberg is going to open up a lum- u ber business here. For the present he will U6e some of his store rooms for headquarters, but he Intends In the bi near future to build a large lumber yard and racks on Cherry 6treet opposite tbe Eureka Hotel and about two hundred feet from It. Mr. Rosenberg Is a man of splendid business ability as Is evidenced by the eminent degree of success which he has attained in p his chosen field and we feel safe In saylug b that he will make a success out of this busi- ^ t ,, H * nfiCO Ofl WAll. Abbeville Is just beginning to grow and * more lumber and building material will be 0 used here in the next live years than in any f fifteen years previous to this time. t< . <?i ~ li Getting: Rid of Their Husbands on ' the Installment Plan. 'I The Anderson Dally Mall Is after one Steed, who has been claiming to grant divorces to t< certain women in the mill towns of Anderson lj on payment of live dollars down a:.d balance b on Installment plan. It seems that the work ' of this enterprising gentleman hss developed sl the fact that there 1b a good herd of husbands who are personae non graloe to certain Ander- tc son matrons.; ' If any man in these parts sees his wife look- ^ leg askance at bim let him seize a stick and \ Jolu in the search for the aforesaid Steed? that is if be does not consider him a special p benefactor. ei ci |( A RlicliteouM Governor. ?

If we are ^ not careful Missionary intermeddlers Into ti the religion of other people may gtt this c country into another war.

Only ti last week a negro at Honea Path shot tw<- p white men. His bad aim being bis only ex- ^ case for failure to commit murder. A few n nights later, a negro attempted highway A robbery of a man of the grip in another ? town. The traveling man'was strong enough p to take care of himself and to beHt the negro. Who Bays the negroes are not being civilized? b ? ? a Tillman's bill In reference to the shipment 0 of liquor into "dry" States was considered In ? sub-committee last week. It now seems that p this much needed law may not go through the Congress like greased lightning. The fact that the Tillman-Aiken Bills in * Congress wonld tend to bring about real prohibition will make the road tor such leglsla- B' tlon a little rocky. u tl " ?" n The Legislature may soon go into the practical business affairs of the country. It fixes t labor contracts for farmers and cuts off poor e folks'lleiiB. It says that cotton mm opera c tives shall not work more than ten hours r (( day, and Axes the hours of labor for train- b men, not to exceed sixteen hours In any one s twenty-lour hours. t - I The Legislature went to Charleston las: ? Saturday. That was good. But the legislators returned to Columbia In time to go to work on Monday. That was bad. " r t If yen ihlnk the South Is bad, we would c like lor you to tell us what you think of the u tobacco growers of Kentucky. At no time f during carpet rule was the cotton growing b States as bad as Kentucky now is. Q The Slate Legislature adjourned odc day ^ last week to accept an Invitation to inspect the Military Academy. It is not stated wh?t { appropriation Is needed. \ t - - - a , a negro was murcereu in jnohoik iasi . week, tbe murderers burying the body, but left tbe feet stloklng oat.

Mr. Mejor was once Couniy Commissioner of Abbeville, and was beld In good esteem;by our people, wbo will b9 sorry to bear of his deatb. The probability Is that the United States will let contracts for several additional war 9 vessels. This Is right. A big fleet will enBure | peace. The lawmakers of the State were shown around Charleston harbor last Saturday. Judge Hargls, storm center of a fend In Breatblll County, waR killed by his son. The Judge only a short time ago, made a special order of a Si.500 coflln. Orangeburg had a Are on Saturday morning. Like all other fires. It, for a time, threatened other houses.

From word tbat has gotten out "there ap- (o ars to have been something doing In tbe uate ol south Carolina on yesterday, 'henever you touch the state dispensary te lere Is "most treneraily always" an explo- fu i>n and that nobody was hurt yesterday Is irtunate. Wl It Is exceedingly unfortunate that there ca lould be in the senate gentlemen who are y? iid attorneys for liquor housed, with ciatma .. ralnst tbe state, and counsel for former state 01 licials charged with defrauding the com- at ion wealth. And, further, It Is alroosta scan- m tl that these same men should at all time6 ppose any action looking to the lnvestlgaon or prosecution of dispensary frauds. pe It strikes us that a commendable course for iese gentlemen to pursue would be to resign om ihe senate, where they are sent to repre- 011 nt the people.lt they And It impossible or hi desirable to discontinue their professional ilailons with whiskey houses and men isrged with defrauding the state. DC No man can serve two masters?Spartan- co urg Herald. ga For casus belli see supplement page. hI A ((iiestion or Elliicd. sa Editorial in The State. all Senator Appelt was jumped upon in the snate yesterday. We are Informed by those wl reseat that the tongue lashing administered in y irate lawyers was "good and hard." The larendon senator seems to have borne the ssanltwttb meekness, but upon reading that ) which tflense wbb taken we can not see herein Mr. Appelt did any man injustice,or verstepped the proprieties. bl; In an editorial in his paper, tbe Manning t0 inies, Mr. Appelt recited Ihe fact, that an at jmpt has been made to work up sentiment er gainst Attorney General Lyon for employ- na ier a Georeia lawyer In his hunt for gratters hen tbe senator says tbat tuis Atlanta at jrney "will expose the names of members ol r'' le general assembly who attempt to us- wl aelr relations as attorneys for these liquor r.. aucerns to thwart the legislation necessary > uphold Attorney lieneral Lyon's hands. D{ formation has already been obtained saffi- co lent to place some men in a very undealra!e attitude before the people." We do noL know what evidence the dlspen- al sry commission has ottalned or is goln* to >ake public, but It Is current report tbat lere was active opposition on the part of at >meys for liquor bouses and for alleged rafters to the appropriation of money for tbe rosecutlon of grafters and further lnvestiga- so on of graft. . A lawyer may believe he Is justified In acjptlng any castiofTered to him, and In duty w< ound to defend the vilest criminal and go lead bis innocence, knowing him to be a vile , rimlnal. If a lawyer believes tbat then we c in say nothing, except to question his ethl aI taste, and to predict thatBucb belief by >me is what has already lowered the standrd of a great profession, and tbat if it be 3mes general, will bring more discredit up- pr u tbe Bar. But while people are not able to )t. ly what a lawyer in his office shall do, they 11 in say what a lawyer In the legislature or in fai ongress shall not do-and public opinion all ver this country is pretty well crystsllzed n tbe subject of paid attorneys working as iwmakers for legislation advantageous to 2 aelr oltents. How does Tom Piatt stand be ur >re tbe country ? Piatt may believe with all . je sincerity and honesty of which helsca- rn able that bis ext ress company is desrrving fai f certain rights and privileges, but when be gbts the parcels post In the senate, he is usjg his offiolal position to oppose that which rill be in tbe Interest of tbe public, but IdJulous to tbe express companies. Is Piatt a cr ortby senator? None respect him any m mere. Now, then, a member of tbe IfglslsLire may be honestly opposed to seeking lore graft, and prosecuting those already barged with defrauding the comraonwealeh, ut when lawyers retained by those alleged rafters and by tbe llfuor houses subject to avestlgatlon, are members of tbe legislature . nd fight tbe efforts of the legal department 11 f the State to get money with which to con- te inue its campaign against corruption, they ?h re offending the people's conception of clean _ glslatiou; they violate a well-recognized e tandard of ethics. They will be certainly w ondemned by the public, and tbey can not 8t et endorsement of such course by any autiorlty in the country on the proper conduct 0 f the lawyer-legislator. J( Senator Weston said something about not aE tklDg the cue for bis conduct from newspaerx. Quite commendable ; we should dislike olDg i-o ourselves. But the rule ?t conduct v< pferred to abov* Is not promulgated by w, ewspapers; It is laid down by good morals. iod if newspapers are loslstent upon a stand- >c rd or sound ethics it seems to us tbat good eople have cause to thank Ood for newsapers. The attack upon Senator Appelt. as we read -0 etween the lines, was not Intended so much gainst the offending editor as It was to scare a timid editors, If there are such, and to put thers on notice as to what they might exeot, If they attempt to criticise a lawyer 'bile sitting in the Senate, while attorney J >r liquor men in their dispute with the State s to the justice of their claims. Without question in our mind, such men iiould be either one thing or another. It has v ot been explained bow a man can represent b aelState wblle at the same time represent- a ig the liquor claimants. There are more than forty Senators. Of n bis number some four or five became greatly ?l xclted. One man Introduced a resolution fl ondemnatory of Senator Appelt and calling 8j sr proof or investigation of his assertions, li ut lor some reason which we do not under- ? tand, he withdrew it. We are left to infer hat the momentary ebulltlon had settled, or tl hat there v:as fear of an unfavorable vote, ? r that more ogly things might be said by ed- p tors. n The contempt expressed of newspapers unier certain olrcumstances, Is some men's only efuge. But a man Is something more or less ^ ban man, if be is indifferent to newspaper rlllclsm. Aside from all this, we think an jj, inbiased Jury would award credit to editors p or being as good and as patriotic as their asallants. ^ Mr. Dawson once said that anybody could a it In the United States Senate, bnt it wasn't very man who could eJit the News and n Jourler. * Tbat there should be an entire separation 81 rom laeouiiottuu SUI'U luuiviuuam, uuipuialona aud others whose Interests confilot with hat of the State, the Legislature Itself puts 9 small a thing as railroad passes under the i an, fearing that this slight advantage may afluence some weak Legislator, and yet a E awyer may receive, not a railroad pass, buti Noah wi inrlirroc lAlVtlgVU leave The American people ia cor ever since been victims of lar and indigestion.

J>imes Norton, and all others who have had the moral couraged to oppose the repeal 01 tbe lien law. As Senator Otis said In speech In the Senate u few days sen the title to repeal should be a bill to d( utroy credit and d ive labor either Irom the State, r Into otber kiDdx of employment. A few perhaps would or might be ben flted by Its repeal, b'it a very larue m>j>?yrity of the labormg class, those who till tbe soil, and keep up tbe agricultural inteiesls would seek ome other bnslnes*. There l? a very large number of laborers, both wbl'e and black, who If they canm t get satitf.ctory credit, (HDd ho far tbe lien 1 iw ha? proven tbe best way) will bo to some other State, or to work on the lallroad cr some oiber public utility. As is wen kuown every Industry It entirely dependent upon ngrlculiuro lor supplies, and therefore lnstend of doine some'blni: to lessen tbe number of fleid labrr-irs, everything pos slble should be done to increase the number and the living ol all classes would be better and cheaper.

Among the vlsUyrs to CharleMcn \esteiday was Mr.Sain M.

Mr. Grist is very much Interes'ed in the proposed Insurance Itglslation now being considered by the General Assembly, and he Is anxious that the Htaie.'a lawmaker* shall provide lor an Insurance commission for the State and pass what is known as the Saye bill. Thla bill w?k introduced i>y Dr. Saye, a member oi the York County delegation, and is model'ed closely atter the North Carolina law. It prohlbtis the misrepresentation of policies, stops rebating and puts an end to what are known as "bourd" contrai l schemes. Insurance premiums p? Id in North Carolina amount to Sli.OOO.UCO a year, >ays Mr. GriBt, aDd at present, he adds, thousands oi policies, both life and fire, are not worth the paper they are written on. He believes that If the bill referred to is made law and an insurance department is created and a capable man placed in charge of It the Interests oi the public will be safeguarded and promoted. William A. Lanier, of Monterey, Abbeville County, was oue of the visitors to Charleston yesterday wbo came w\tb tbe Legislative party from Columbia.
