like a ship without a radder-a
waif, a nothing, a no man. Have
a purpose in Hie, and, having1

and muscle into your work as
.God has given you.-CAR
LYLE.
The old Advertiser salutee ' the
rejuvenated old Edg?field .Rifles
and wishes them a very success
ful and brilliant career.
. Wfcile the matter of securing
lower Pullman car rates is in the
courts, wouldu't it be a-good idea
to "amend the complaiLt" and
ask for a reduction of tips also.
Dispatches tell us that floods
arn raging and the boll weevils are
multiplying in Texas. Thc out
look for the South.CaroliDa "cot
toi -tofu" is not 60 very bad, after
all.
South Carolina has a pro minent
place in the Jamestown picture.
Several distinguished persons who
are. capable of judging, among
them being Hon. William Jen
nings Bryan, have pronounced
the Palmetto state's exhibit to
be among the best at the Exposi
tion.
Great preparations are being
made for the entertainment of the
newspaper men at the Isle of
Palms next week, among them
being a royal fiehiug excursion.
"We want to see Brother Bacon
catch that famous Charleston
whale.
The unusually large number of
young men and young women who
areJhis year receiving diplomas
from the schools and colleges au
gurs well for the future of the
country. This liberty-lovi?g laud
will never go to the bow-wows, as
some calamity criers have pre
dicted, as loug as we have educa
ted roeu and women as home
builders. We mean, educated in
the broadest and fullest sense
mind, heart and body.
An Accommodating Board.
Jt seems that Charleston's coun
ty dispensary board has endeavor
ed to mest the requirements and
suit the tastes of each individual
patron of the dispensary. There
DOW on sale in the Charlestun
'dispensaries "one hundred and
.eighty-odd varieties of whiskies,
gins,' brandies, wines, and othei
liquors." And still there are cer
tain kinds of liquors for wbicr.
there is some demand on whicl
no bids have been submitted U
the. board. These will be pur
chased later. Tigers that can ex
ist in the face of such competi
tion are a peculiar breed an<
must have nine lives.
Pythian Sanitarium.
At the meeting of the Grant
Lodge of the Knights of Pythia
in Anderson last week, it ?<'as de
cided to unite with the Pythian
of North Carolina in the estab
lishment of a sanitarium .for th
two Carolinas in which the sic
in their ranks, including widow
and orphans, could be treater.'
This is a very praiseworthy undej
taking. One that should not onl
receive the hearty support of tb
members of the Order but the cc
operation and ^well-wishes of th
uninitiated also. By estabhehio
orphan asylums, sanitariums an
other kindred institutions, Fri
ternal Orders enter upon a larg?
sphere ol usefulness, the blessing
that accrue fron them being c
longer confined to their immed
ate membership.
An Unjust Discrimination.
The Advertiser believes that e:
set justice, as far as possibl
should be meted out by constit
ted authority, whether dealii
i with individuals or with corpor
tions. The State board of equal
zation bas raised the assessi
valuation of railroad property
100 per cent, or the market valu
Heretofore, it has iu ?he sggr
-gate been 32 mi'lions of dolla
in this state, while now it is 1
millions. Cotton mills, oil mil!
fertilizer factories, banks, real e
tate and personal property are r
turned for tnxatiou on a basis
60 per cer t, while railroad prop?
ty is returned at 100 per cent Ti:
is a manifest dit-crimit.fctii
against the latler.
The Advertiser favors tho e
actmeut of laws to curb and co
troJ corporations and advoca*
the enforcement of tho-e laws
the Jotter, but at the same iii
we believe all corporations shou
be dealt with justly.
Detectives Doing Good Work.
One of the many annoyances
.t merchants experience it the
paking open and stealing of
eight while in transit. The box
ir thief' being no respecter of
erchants, will break into a case
; dry goods or shoes as quickly
i he-will a case of groceries or
uit. And they become bolder and
arder to satisfy as the months
ass. Thieves of this class used to
ppropriate one pair of shoes from
case but now it requires -several
airs lo satisfy them. A few
Tackers or ginger-Bnaps used to
atisfy their hunger but now it re
uires in some instances half a
?ox. It is eucoursging and grati
ying, however, to see that the
ailroad detectives are doing some
;ood work along this lin?. The
lailv papers have recently con
ained accouuts of a number of
irrests of box-car thieves. Maj
heir tribe speedily b'.come "*x
inct.
Very Short Sighted Policy.
Corporations, like individuals,
viii sometimes do very foolish
;hiog8. Iostead of filling thpir
?varehouses first-hand from tb?
.vagons of the producers* we havp
mown South Carolina cotton
mills to wait, till the rush ol'th*1
marketing season was over, aftpr
raw material had become scarce,
and tben ship cotton from Louiei
aua, paying a higher price for the
staple besides the freight. This
seems to he a very shortsighted
policy, but a Georgia mill has
capped-the-climax by ordering
500 bales of cotton from Liver
pool. If a. dividend can be made
by paying two cents above the
market to get cotton from Liver
pool, think of what could- have
been mad9 had the cotton been
purchased at the prevailing price
la6t fah. Furthermore, had the
Georgia mill supplied its needs
at tbat time the farmers of that
vicinity would doubtless have
been benefit ted.

License Law Needed.
Seeing the need of such a law,
this newspaper has for some years
advocated the enactment of a
marriage license law. While thp
prevailing sentiment in the pas*
has been opposed to such a law,
it ?B now steadily growing iu
favor. The day is not far distant
in Sooth Carolina when some offi
cial record will bo made of all
marriage, sand liceus?8 will be is
i83ued therefor/
The conduct of a notary public
who resided io this state, near the
North Cai o?ina line, very pointed
ly and forcibly illustrates the
need of a license law. A marriage
license being . required in North
Carolina, it was the habit of all
sorts and conditions of couples,
especially runaway couples, to
come over the line into this state
and have "'Squire" Bailes tie the
knot. He married them without let
or hindrance, never refusing any
who'had the fee-it mattered not
how teuder their ages or what pa
rental objections existed.
This promiscuous knot-tyiuj
became a nuisance and a menac(
to?oeiety iu Charlotte and Meek
lenburg county. H?uce, an out
raged people became so enrag?e
that petitions were presented t<
Governor Hey ward asking tba
Bailes' commission as notary bi
taken from him, which waB done
But he did not etop. It is alleget
that Bailee, ap. a private citizec
continues to marry ruu-awa;
North Carolina couples. The peo
pie of that vicinity are said to b
indignant because this ex-notar
recently "officiated" at a forcet
marriage, the woman alleging tha
coercion was used to make he
marry the mao.
A properly framed marriage li
cense law would make sucb cor
ditious, as above set forth, impoi
sible in South Carolina.

closely resembles wool. Not a
