It is not generally known that con^res! passed a law, which becomes effective afte: January 1st. 1910, which provides that an] person or firm that issues a check, note memorandum or obligation for less thai Si. or circulates such, shall be liable to i fine of $500 or six months' imprisonment.

But after January 1. next aline oi lmpiisonment stares them in the face. As a consequence, the business interests of the large cities are "sitting up and tak lng notice," and especially is this the ease with the department stores in New York Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Pitts burg, Buffalo and all cities doing a niaii order business, Just upon what theory the government proceeds to restrict any person from drawing his own money out of bank is not eas> to reoognize, and the law seems to nave been passed without general knowledge 01 discussion. It may be that the government desires to compel the use of postoffice money orders, postal notes or registered, upon which fees are charged, but what right has the government to compel tribute upon the withdrawal in any sum of the Grsonal money of any man deposited in nk for his individual use'/?Greenwood Journal.

' t The C., C & 0- Charter. *| There was a good jleal of _ criticism re- 1 1 cently or Attorney uenerai JLyon lor au-11 1 vising the secretary of state to refuse a i ' charter to the C. C. ?fc 0. railroad; his opin- j ? ion having been asked by that oflicer. It ( 5 was charged by some that Mr. Lyon was c r obstructing the development of the state? < I and all that sort of thing?his critics for- i r getting that, as chief law officer of the I : state, it is peculiarly his duty to observe t II the law. The attorney general lias been s sustained by the supreme court. The con- i stitution expressly forbids the granting of I a railroad charter to a "foreign corpora- 1 tion;"and therefore, there was nothing s for the attorney general to do but to ad- i vise as ho did or to perjure himself. It turns out that ltiscourse was not only s I the correct one, but the best one also? 2 another illustration that "honesty is the c best policy"?for the railroad company c has "domesticated" itself and become a t j, South Carolina corporation subject to the \ control of South Carolina law.?Newberry i ' Observer. fc i Improved Cattle Troughs- / , I As stated last week, Mr. J. C. Brown of i -1 this place has invented a self closing cattle s trough which he gives to the public free f I j of charge. The general principle on ti ) I which the trough works is about as fol- 1 r lows:? * 3 The trougli is set on pivots in a rack or \ 6tand made by nailing something like one by six inch stuff at an angle of about thirty ?' five degrees or a suitable angle. It is then ^ J | braced so jis to allow motion of the trough \ (j on its pivots above the bracing. 1 The trough is made like the ordinary ' ' feed trough except that a plunk is nailed ^ j along the centre of the bottom anil to the ^ . back so as to keep the feed in the front n ' I part of the trough as long as there is any f ;; feed in it. As soon as the food is all coni ^ j sumed the greater weight being in the o > back the trough automatically closes. v ! TA design of the trough is In the Press and ?

The time appointed for celebrating this service, one of the two which havesurrived the customs of the ancient Chris,ians?to wit, the Sabbath and the marital -was three o'clock, P. M., and shortly beore and after this hour the guests and contracting parties, with their attendants, issembled in and about the church. Soon lie minister took his position at the altar. [ L'he kindred and guests were seated; the Mendelssohn Wedding March sounded ortli from the well-timed organ, while the n idal company tiled in through the main lisle to their several positions. The minisister in a brief and impressive exordium, stated the purpose of the ^atliiring, and in the short and simple formula tf their service quickly concluded the mar iage, when the bride and groom, followed jy their attendants, withdrew and went heir several ways. Later, when the shadows of evening had fallen, the newlynarried couple repaired to the home of he groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jno. L. vennedy, with immediate kindred and ipecial friends, to partake of an entertainnont iriv(>ii in their honor. On entering the house, fruit-nectar was served by Miss Georgia Kennedy and Miss Jury Morris. Later, an elaborate course >f salads, with appointment, followed by akes and the many adjuncts belonging hereto. The drawing-room decorations vere beautifully and artistically arranged n green and white, with an arch on one ;ide, under which the bride an ft groom revived the congratulations of their friends, riie dining-room decorations were in red md white and this color scheme was carled out even to the refreshments. The social festival continued until the vee small hours of the night warned the fuests that the time had come for it close, md, one by one, they took their departure, caving tlie home to its usual rest and ieiose.
