Commended for Course which Re-? suited in Strenuous Attack. (A. P. Aldrich, in Tho State.) From the amount of 'howl" that has been heard it does look like Sen ator Appelt's stick has hit a good many, and the camp evidently has been set afire. The advertisement to the world which Saturday's edi tion of The State tuakeB of the virtue in our legislative halls is not one to make the breast of the average South Carolinian swell with pride. The spectacle of one of our Senators using the columns qt his paper for placing before the people the situa tion , pleading for their support in the fight for betterment in the moral status of our time, and the outburst that comes from some of our law makers, ls heartrending. Has the time come when each of us must .go about like the sandwich man, with a label in front and one in the rear? Is it possible that so many of those to whom the people of South Caro lina have done honor, have allowed themselves to become so entangled by circumstances that look suspic ious that they must cry out for vin dication before they are called Into th t court of the people to answer r>arges? If such ts the case, then ?tho hour of shame has come to our State. She who has furnished the world examples of brilliant states men, men born in purity, reared in moral rectitude, schooled In cul tured, gentility, must hide her face. It Is an acknowledged fact, ac cepted of all men, that no one is expected to defend himself until he is attacked. In the meantime lt Is his duty to lend a helping hand to detect orime and bring to the bai of justice those responsible for breac eB of the law. The' same rule will ap ply to eath and every situation in life, public as well as private. The commission appointed to wind up the affairs of the dispensary. ls, I take lt, for the purpose of collect ing the honest cues to the State, ? paying the State's honest debts and to bring to justice those who have despoiled the State in their trans actions. The Legislature is looked to to uphold the hands of the At torney General at every stage of the. proceedings.' Can, they stand .by the Attorney General and do their duty by their clients, the liquor houses, at the same time? No;, no one can servi; God and mammon, and the man who ls to form hts opinion by what he reads In the daily papers is very apt to make up his mind that there is a great deal of rottenness in the place where the 8tate has a right to expect a great deal of abil ity, integrity and virtue. Has old South Carolina to-day got all of the last named virtues that she has a right to have in her legislative halls? Only a few have answered to the swipe of the stick' of Claren don's Senator, and lt is possible that Born? have done so through ill ad vice or sympathy, of a kind. Verily, the dispensary has brought with ll: , and left with us its full quota of ti p Band shame. I Clarendon has no reason to be ashamed of her Senator. My re spects to him. H1H example might be considered seriously before it |s Greenwood, S. C., Feb. 9, 19?8. Stop that tickling cough! Doctor Slump's Cough Ci;re will surely stop it, and with perfect safety.

DALK CORNER DESPERADOES. Killed Constable's Cow and Smashed Buggy to Pieces. (Greenville News, 14th.) "Moonshiners," some of whom are yet to be found in the Dark Corner Section of Greenville county, have a peculiar idea of what constitutes re venge. When an Injury, or at least what they term an Injury, ls done ?hom by the officers of the law they ,t once sot about trying to secure some retaliation. On last Saturday nlghtWade Plum ley, who Is a constable for his bro ther, Magistrate J. D. Plumley, was a member of a party which made a raid on tho Dark Corner section and cut up several stills. The men whose stills were raided chanced to know that Plumley was a member of the party, and at once determined that ^CASTOR IA Vor Infants and Children. Thi Kind You Hats Always Bought Bear? th? Signatar? of some revenge munt be visited on the offending officer of the law, and thci set about to visit that revenge upon him. A consultation was probably held amoug them, and the following night was set as the time, for secur ing that revenge. v Monday morning when Mr. Plum ley went to bis iot he found his fine cow lying lr a pool of blood. He made an examination of her and found that her throat had been cut. He then w>ut on to his barn and found that h.? buggy had been torn to splinters, ar.* he ittsllzeO that he had been visited by the moonshin ers. Oh further examination he dis covered that the clan of men had done other acts of depredation Of course there -is no way to as certain who did the work. Their names will probably never be known ActB similar to this have been com mitted by the lawless elomout in this section of the county nany times , hut not once have the perpe trators been caught, and punished for it. Tho work is done in the still hours of the hight, and aa there ls no police protootton in -that section of the country the men have no trou ble la keeping their identity hid.

THE BATTERY PARK ??OTFL-. It Is Now in Hands of J. I,. Alexan der, Formerly of Oconee. (From the Asheville Citizen.) The !ea3e. of the Battery Park Hotel, Asheville's famous and his toric hostelry, was sold recently by D. C. Waddell, Jr., to J. L. Alexan der, Hugh LaBarbe and J. M. Chiles. Mr. Alexander, the present lessee of the Toxaway Inn. will be the propri etor of, and will personally operate, the Battery Park. The new proprietor, Mr. Alexan der, is no stranger In this section, and he has the reputation of being one of the best hotel men in the South. Ho ls popular to a high de gree, In this vespoct being fully as fortunate as the late E. P. McKis slck and the retiring lessee. He was steward of the Battery Park when it was operated by Mr. McKls slck, and for five years under Mr. Waddell's management, retiring from that position to assume charge of the White Sulphur Springs Hotel at Waynesville. He became pro prietor of the Toxaway Inn last year and gc ve that hostelry the best ad ministration lt has ever known. The attery Park has entertained every President of the United States elected since it WEB built, a? we!! as many other men of national pro minence. (J. L. Alexander ls a son of Jor dan Alexander, of Oconee county, and 1B well and favorably known by many of our people, who will be glad to know of his success -in the field he has chosen. His administration of affairs at White Sulphur Springs and Lake Toxawty made for him hosts of warm friends among the thousands of guests entertained by him there, and we doubt no', that hiB connection with the Batery Park will result, in an oquol show of favor and patronage.-Eds.

Women Who Wear WelL It ls astonishing how great a chango a few years ot married life often make In the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which lt? rudely handled, Th? matron ls only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the channing malden. There are two reasons for this change,' ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through tho change which comen with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with th* unpleasant pelvic drain? and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain ls robbing th? cheek of Its freshness and th? form of ita fairness.

Having served the purpose for which they were issued, and the con dition of the local banks being such that they are no longer needed, $ 148,000 worth of clearing house certificates were yesterday afternoon bumed to ashes In this city. The burning took place in the boiler room of the Huguenot Cotton Mills, the paper which had once passed as money being tossed . into the two big furnaces by Prank Hammond. president of the Pobple'a Bank, and H. P. McGee, president of the ?ity National Bank, both of whom are members' ot 'the executive committee of the Qroenville Charing Htouae Association. At a reen t mooting, of the associa tion it was decided to destroy all of the certificates on hand. They were carefully counted, and it was found that out of $75,800 worth issued there was on hand about $73,500 worth. These, with the $75,000 Worth that were not Issued, made'a total of $148,500. and the executive committee was authorized to burn the whole amount at once. There was no ceremony connected with the passing of . the certificates. The paper was packed into two boxes and taken to the boiler room of the mill, and there, in the presence of two witnesses', they were thrown Into the fiery furnace by Hammond and Med tie, a package at a time. Each package contained from $20 to $100 and ii took several minute? to burn them all up. When the box contain ing the unissued certificates was reached, twelve certificates of each denomination wore taken out to be distributed among the banks of the city. These certificate.? will be kept as a souvenir ot tho panic of lu07. There are something over $1,000 worth of certificates still in circula tion, and it may be many months, it not years, before the entire issue is destroyed. Many people are keep ing them for souvenirs, and lt ls possible that the entire Issue will never be entirely destroyed. As fast as the paper is collected, however, it will be destroyed.

Wlhlamston has long had an am bition to be a county seat, and as far back ss *" ?rears ago made an effort toward mat end.
