Happy is the farmer who, dur ing the early part of last week, converted his cotton warehouse receipt into a certificate of de posit from the bank. Cotton de-' dined more than a cent per pound before the week closed. .: The legislature that enacted the dispensary law made one egregious error. It made provision for a constabulary force to execute the Jaw among the laity but failed to establish a "secret service" to pre vent those high in authority from violating it. The gubernatorial candidates, Smith, Ansell and Manning, are now jockeying for position.-' Aiken Journal and Review. Were we dealing in "futures" -we would stake our last dollar on Ansell. As it appears now, the man who defeats Hon. Martin F. Ansell will be the next governor of South Carolina. In writing of speculation, bucket shops and exchanges the News and Courier, which name is almost a synonym for conservatism, says : '.There is something radically wrong with the system when the cotton, grain . and provision markets of tbe country are regula ted not by the natural law cf sup ply and demand, but by the gamb lers who fix prices and control the crop movements." The citizens who are circulating the petitions praying for an elec tion upon the liquor question are having no difficulty in securing signatures. Very few persons re fuse to sign them. The petitions will be presented to the. supervi sor at the regular meeting op the board in AugUBt, and the election will probably be held early in September. ;.";:'?t'?'--;. - ' -: . Heretofore, when anyone would charge the dispensary with being corrupt the Orangeburg Patriot would wax wroth, and vociferously demand the proof, b ut when Sena tor Tillman tacitly admitted or charged corruption the Patriot t8aid not a word. Brother Paris was struck speechless. He shoul d now call upon the senator to "specify"; state his reasons for saying that the belief that corrup tion Gxists "has good foundation in fact." .Tbe grand jury and city authori ties are waging a vigorous war on. the gamblers of Spartanburg. There is said tobe a gambling den in Edgefield.y If one-doos-exist' the town^ authorities should ex hauBt^?very means to break it up. ?Thffi will receive the loyal sup port of all right-thinking people in their efforts to .rid this com munity of that which will cause the downfall of more young men than any other one thing. It seems that the time is fast approaching when the race pro blem will no longer be referred to as a southern problem, but as a national one. Race riots are al most as frequent now-a-days in New York city as they are in | "Dixie." One marked difference, however, is that "way down south" it does not requi.e 250 policemen to quell them. By the way, it would be interesting in this con nection to know upon which color Mr. Ogden would use his club most vigorously were he summon ed to aid- iii suppressing a race riot on Fifth Areuue. We know that Mr. Dixon would be true to his color, but how about Mr. Og den ? We clip the following from a very ardent dispensary advocate, the Florence Times, which with all of the dispensary's faults loves it still: "We are told that 80 proof liquor is good whiskey with 20 per cent of water put in it. We have our doubts unless it is a mighty poisonous water that is used. "Fuss x" liquor will kill a billy goat and second x is mighty little better if any. There is more poison going out over the dispen sary counter than in all the drug stores iu the state. Thai sort of businets must be stopped and stopped with a bump. Let a mau put.his own water in his liquor and let the dispensary sell nothing but the unadulterated product of the still and there will be less of riots, murders and crazy drunks j charged up to the state/' ' The election of Mr. D. A. Tomp kins as a director of the Equitabl Life Assurance Society of Ne\ York is a source of great gratifi cation to bis Edgefield friend! Being chosen a member.of th board under the re-organization i a very distinguished honor-ou of which anyone would be juetl proud. In this honor Mr. Tomp kins' native county, the state au the southlaud share. His bus: uess sagacity, large and varied ex perleuce in the commercial, ic dust rial aud financial world wi] pro^a to be of great value in th restoration of order from th chaotic couditiou that has obtain ed for some time in the affairs o this gigantic corporation. Th position carries with it an annus salary of ten or fifteen thousam dollars. Tho men, says the Newberr Observer, who are asking, tkAfte the dispensary, what" ? and the] sittiug down and lugubriouslj answering their own question prophesies of barrooms and bl i nt tigers, etc., remind one of thi youug woman who was found sit tiug off in the corner weepinj copiously and in great grief. Ont who attempted to comfort he: asked the cause of her great sor row, and received the reply: was just thinking that maybe som< day I would get married, and thei I might have a baby aud the babj might die-aod the tho.ught wai so dreadful that I just could no help crying." Dry your fears, ?JO wee] over imagiued ills. * dreadful things you conjure up in your minds may never happen. "Suffi cient uuto the day is the evi thereof. Both Fratricide And Suicide. The town of Darlington ha? suffered two very severe blows Following closely upon the colos sal failure of the large oil company and b.iuk, was the unspeakab*} horrible and shocking suicide o Mr. R. Keith Dargau, the presiden of these corporations. Ttn mos revolting feature of the tragedy however, was the par,t that i brother of the unfortunate mai played, iu deliberately purchasing the deadly poison and standing supinely by aR lt was swallowed This death was as much a case o: fratricide as suicide and the living brother should be indicted foi jiurder. The Greenville Newt speaks of it as follows: "The human mindflfts to com prehend the inner f?ffives of a mau who would quieBgpurcbase a deadly poison for bH^rother in financial distress ancTwho would sit down, in a cold blooded way and wait for him to drink it and die. Whatever else may be said of that Dargan suicide, it is a plain case for the solicitor and the grand jury, for enough evidence has been adduced to show and prove that Pegram Dargau was au accessory before the fact. There have been times and occasions when two persons agreed to die together, but we doubt if the re cords will reveal another case like that in Darlington. And if sui cide is cowardly, what must be said of the act of the brother ?" Lasj^Tu?s?ay night Bill McKie, Ji^negro who lives on Judge Bell's piase, lost all he had by fire. The fire was discovered about terj o'clock. The family wa3 all asleep, and only awoke iu time to save their lives. Mrs. J. W. Lanford aud Misc Annie Lanford are visiting al Rose Cottage.
