* THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS NOT * * OVERDRAWN. * We were asked a short while ^go lt we did not think that "The Leop ard's Spots" was overdrawn? We declare that lt Is not, while lt may be tinctured a little with fiction, but even that is based upon solid facts. Read, If you please, a history writ ten by Dr. Leland, o? Greenwood, S. C., called "A Voice from South Caro, lina.'' This book was written in about the year 1872. Then you will agree that the "Leopard's Spots" is a true story. "Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead, \ Dear as tne oiood ye gave; No impious footsteps here shall tread The herbage of your grave; .Nor shall your glory be forgot ' While fame her record keeps, Or honor points the hallowed spot Where valor proudly sleeps." This is one of the verses ' on a beautiful monument wc locked upen with tearful reverence while walking through Rosemont cemetery, at New berry. Such acts as the murder of Crozier are some of the things that | keep a man from forgetting the war. Does history record any nobler sacrifice? Damon was the friend of Pythias, but this man Bowers waB a stranger to Crozier. Much more of this pathetic story.ls recorded In the ''Annals of Newberry." Crozier yield ed up his life that another might not suffer. The memory of that day ls of a tragedy never to be forgotten^] The war had ended, and the soldiers | of the disbanded Confederate army and paroled prisoners were passing through South Carolina to their homes In the West. Among them was Calvin Crozier, a Texan, who arrived at Newberry on September 7th, 1865, and was deldp-d there over night. He had 'some ladles un der his care, and, as hotel accommo . dations were very meager, they de > elded it would be best to pass tho night In the car on which they had traveled. Late In the night some ne gro soldiers, under the command of Col. Trowbridge, who had arrived at Newborry that day, entered the car where Crozier and the ladies under his care were quietly reposing, and made themselves very offensive to the ladles. Crozier requested them to leave, but they refused to do so, and a difficulty ensued. In the scuf fle which followed one of the negroes was slightly cut by Crozier with his k Ufe. The regiment to which they belonged was encamped in a grave yard near the depot, and very soon after the difficulty occurred a number of them appeared ot the depot bent on revenging the one who had been dealt with by Crozier. In their mad ness they seized Jacob S. Bowers, who was then General Superintend ent of the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, and were about to lynch him. When Crozier learned what they were about, without a moment's hesitation, he presented himself and told them that he had wounded the negro soldier. He was at once tied and taken to the camp mentioned above, aud was shot to death by the fiends. His body was thrown in a shallow grave, and they danced In ghoulish glee upon his new-made grave. The officers of the negro reg iment, principally white, were ap pealed to In behalf of Crozier, but In vain. Trowbridge, the colonel of this regiment, declared that he took upon himself all the responsibility of the act. Prince Rivens, a negro officer, wish ing to save The life of Crozier, went to him and begged him to deny the fact that he cut the negro, but he refused. Seldom indeed do we find such heroic self-sacrifice as is em bodied of this noble Texan. He might have gone free to his far West ern home had he permitted an inno cent man to suffer. How fondly he may have dreamed of his arrival at his Texas home, Galveston, and the greeting of loved ones there! He gave it all up and laid down his life that another might live. No ignoble spirit could have acted as he did, and where he now sleeps must be holy ground. His body re mained there where lt was burled by the negro soldiers until 1891, when the people of Newberry had his re mains burled In Rosemont cemetery, and erected an enduring mon?.ment to his memory.' In erecting this mon ument they have honored themselves. These are stubborn facts known to this writer, and are in keeping with the "Leopard's Spots." Every South ern boy (and girl aa well) should read a book written by Dr. Leland, of Greenwood, called a "Voice trora South Carolina," and the "Leopard's Spots." They will then learn what the Southern people endured for ten years after the war, until they all ?ose up as one man lu ISM, with the Immortal Hampton as their standard bearer, and threw off the Iron heel of despotism. AB WO have stated before, the Southern people are tho product of a nation which could not wear a yoke.

The Above ls the Showing for First Nine Montlis of 1008. (Columbia Cor. News and Courier.) The dispensary sales in this State for three-quarters of the year have exceeded two and a half million dol lars, and as the last quarter of the year is the largest in point of volume of business, the sales will likely amount to three and a half million dollars for the etnire year. There are only twenty-three out of the forty one counties In the State which have dispensaries, the sales for tire new county of Calhoun being included in Orangeburg In this statement.- Yet In twenty-three counties the dispen saries do a business In excess of that of the State dispensary when lt was nt its zenith-or so the official figures say. The profits for the three-quarters of 1908 are more than half a million dollars-$662,226.71-to be exact. This ls also In excess of the profits of the State dispensary system, both ! comparatively and actually. For the i three quarters of the year the dis- ; pensarles have made an average ! profit of 35 per cent, which ls very good indeed for any business. For the third quarter of the year the sales have reached the sum of $819,269.26, and the profits amount to $212,862.39. Tho last quarter will exceed this in gross sales and proba bly in profits, as the Christmas trade ls to be Included In the fourth quar ter. Sumter county shows a percentage of 66 per cent profit, the highest in the State. Florence ls next with 52 per cent; Abbeville shows 50 per cent, and several show as high as 45 per cent.. The lowest ls colleton with 19 per cent profit. Charleston shows a profit for the three months of 23 per cent. These figures are compiled by State Dispensary Auditor West, to whom the county dispensary boards are re quired to make reports monthly and . quarterly. He has given out the fol-1 lowing statements: For Nine Months. Sales and profits of all the dispensa ries In the State for the first three quarters of the present year: January, February, March-Sales $970,964.01, profits $268.941.98, per cent 39. April, May, June-Sales $777, 296.34, profits $180,422.34, per cent 30. July, August, September-Sales $819,269.26, profits, $212,862.39, per cent 35. Total-Sales $2,567,529.61, profits $662,226.71, per cent 35. Comparison with I^ast Year. The total sales for the county dis pensaries for the quarter ending Sep. tember 30, 1907, amounted to $753, r46, and the net profits of that quar jr to $200,370. The total sales for the entire year of 1907 up to Octo ber 1 (the symtem being established In March, 1907), amounted, to $1, 401,023, with net profits of 367,162. It was stated lu this correspondence In October, 1907, that at this rate the annual profits of the county dis pensary system would probably amount to 725.000 In round num bers, as against an annual profit of $576.000 from the State dispensary system In 1906. The total net profit from the county dispensary system in 10 months in 1907 reached $695, 056, and the profits in 1908 will go over $800,000, and may reach one million dollars. The State dispensary In 1906 did a gross business of $2585,137; there being 138 dispensaries then in ope ration. The net profit In 1906, earn ed In that year, was $575,975. The county dispensaries for nine months of this year have sold as much whiskey, or at least the re ceipts are as large, as for the entire twelve months of the State dispen sary system-two and one-half mil lion dollars. The county dispensa ries have for nine months made a profit greater by $100,000 than the net profit of the State dispensary In one year.

When the report of the State dis pensary for 1906 was compiled the dispensary had been voted out of all but 25 counties under the Brice Act, and to show a just comparison with the State dis; '?"?ary, the figures should bo tal. n before the passage of the Brice Act. but those figures are not now available.

Thrilling Sport in Spearing These Queer Denizens of the Deep. There ls no more thrilling sport than harpooning the devil Ash, the giant ray or manta, which has Its home In the Gulf of Mexico, says the Illustrated London News. Some of these Ash, which are very grewsome to behold, measure from twelve to eighteen feet and weigh more than fifteen hundred pounds. It requires tremendous skill to harpoon them, and infinite tact to land them once they are struck. It is not unusual for the fish to run for three hom:? or more, and they can tow a lea-ton sloop. The fish, is wily and will often go to the bottom to rest, to prevent which he has to be kept in a constant state of panic by hauling the tow In close to him. At a moment of weak ening another harpoon and a rifle shot will dispatch him. During a recent run, it was three hours before the cable could be fas tened to tho boat's windlass in order to pull the devil fish under the bow, where another Illy Iron was secured in him, and then followed a rush of extraordinary impetuosity. Follow ing this method and only after there were three harpoons In his back and a shark hook attached to one flapper, was lt felt that he was secure. Half an .hour later his struggles were fi nally stilled by a lucky rifle shot In the head. As night came on the sharks be gan to come in, and long after dark could be heard fighting over the stranded carcass. The wholesome, harmless green leaves and tender stems of a lung healing mountainous shrub, give to Dr. Shoop's Cough Remedy its cura tive properties. Tickling or dry bronchial coughs quickly and stately yield to this highly effective cough medicine. Dr. Shoop assures moth ers that they can with safety give it to even very young babes. No opium, no chloroform-absolutely nothing harsh or harmful. It calms the dis tressing cough, and heals the sensi tive membranes. Accept no other. Demand Dr. Shoop's. Sold by J. W. Bell. Negro Woman Burns to Death. Anderson, Oct. 22.-Esther Brown, a young negro woman of this city, who had been working on the plan tation of Charlie Jones, about two miles below Starr, was so severely burned to-day that she died in great agony. She had been working In the field near where she lived, and went to the house to start a fire in the stove to prepare supper. It is believed that the woman used kerosene oil In starting the fire, and that it blazed up on her when the match was applied. She was horribly burned all over the body and face. Dr. J. N. Land, of Starr, was sum moned, but was unable to do any thing for the suffering woman be yond the administering of drugs to relieve a part of the pain. Proof is inexhaustible that Lydia E.
