A Michigan judge has decided that a husband may spank his wife; but it will not take the Michigan wife long to overrule the . decision of the court.-Ex. On Saturday la st the lynching of a negro in New York city, who attacked two unaccompanied girls, was narrowly averted. Wonder what the great metropolitan dailies will say about it? Such occur rences, iu their very mid?t, bringe the northern Pharisees face to face with the race problem. One of the Greenwood oil mills is to be converted into a fertilizer factory. Every farmer, by giving his stables, cow stalls and barn yard proper attention, can have a fertilizer factory of his own. The quality of the out-put of Baid fac tcry will be all right, too. He need not trouble to have it analy zed. v Saluda and Greenville counties are neck and neck in the matter of homicides. SOBB?ODS court con vened in Greenville on Monday with fifteen cases of homicide on the criminal docket. Is thia whole sale shedding of human blood at tributable to "moonshine," blind tiger or South Carolina liquor? Very probably the latter.' If your life is insured and you are hanged or otherwise legally executed your heirs or assigns cannot collect the policy, so rules a Pennsylvania judge. A few days ago a Pennsylvania court sustain ed an inpurance company in re fusing to pay a policy m a case in which the in BUK d met his death by-legal execution for crime. Fox the first time in-the world's history, a leper-a Creole boy, aged fifteen years-in New Orleans has been completely cured. It is worthy of notice, too, that the cure WEB effected by an old remedy that v.as systematically applied, and not by any of the newfangled nostrums or cure-alls of the pres ent day. The disastrous fire which re duced to ashes $133,000 worth of property was a severe blow to our sister town of Greenwood. But the spirit and enterprise that made almost within the last decade Greenwood one of the foremost towns in the state will cause hand some business blocks to be erected, where the embers are yet smoking, and in a few short months visitors to this fair town will see no traces of the merciless flames. : That the department of agricul ture has found an ant ^Guatemala to be an effective enemy of the boll weevil is delightful news to the entire cotton belt, the farmers of Texas especially. The ant will be introduced into the cotton states to check the ravages of the weevil. This pest is the greatest menace thatjhas confronted the south in years and should it be not checked' is certain to bring disaster second only to Sherman and his vandals. The divorce evil is being dis cussed on the rostrum, from the pulpit and by the press as never before. Throughout the north and west ministers are refusing to .marry persons who have been di vorced for any cause whatsoever. This is striking at the effect and not at the cause. Agitation will, of course, to some extent arouse and awaken the public conscience, thereby accomplish some good, but it appears to us that the most ef fective means of counteracting this monster evil is by proper teaching in the home. Rear a generation of youog men and young women who have high ideals and a proper conception of life; who regard the marriage relation as sacred and is not to be trifled wita, th?n there, will not be the thousands seeking human devices to cast asunder what God has joined together. We believe that the people of every section of the state will heartily approve of the action-of the Democrstic executive commit tee in abolishing the county to county state campaign meetings. These meetings have been an im position upou candidates and peo pie alike. One meeting will be arranged for each congressional district, which meaus that only seyen will'be held instead of forty odd as heretofore. The fundamental Democratic principle isjuajority rule. Every Simon pure-Democrat bows to the will of tho majority of the people whether it be expressed by the ballotor by their representatives in convention assembled. On be ing asked whether or not he would abide the reBult of the St. Louis convention, William J. Bryan, who is more autocratic than Demo cratic, replied : "Things have not developed far enough yat to tell." The natural inference is, if Bryan is ignored, as he deserves to be, he will not acquiesce in the doings of the majority of the body a3 will every true Democrat. JOHNSTON. It was a shock to our communi ty to hear that Mrs. Palmer was dead. She had not been sick, just fell asleep in Jesus for she was a good woman. Beloved by all who knew her. She leaves two daugh ters ia town. Mrs. Robert Turner with uhom she has lived for the past t 'U years, and Mrs. Tom White. Her remains were placed in in our cemetery in the presence of many friends and relatives. * Mr. Mercer Herrin, whose health has been poor for some time, died on last Wednesday. D^ep sympathy is extended his wife and mother. The two games of ball . played here this week attracted considera ble interest. Johnston and Lex ington on Wednesday, and Gran iteville and Johnston on Saturday. The latter was an exceptionally fine game. The Graniteville team is composed of gentlemanly meu who with practice will be good players Johnston was victorioup, in both instances. Mr. Alvin Ethredge of Saluda vieited our town. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Long of Trenton were shopping in town during the week. Dry Creek church will, on tho fourth Sunday in June, celebrate her centennial anniversary. Shipments of peaches have been heavy during the past week. The New Century Club met on Friday ?fi*rr;p?n at the hospitable home of Mrs. Thomas Stansel, a large number being present. After a pleasant and profitable business meeting four pretty girls served dainty refreshments. We all en joyed some sweet music from Miss Addie Ouzts. PROGRAMME Of theS. C. C. I. Commencement.
