Excursions and Week End Ratas Sloppad.
At the meeting of the special quar
antine committee of the board of heath
of Charleston on Friday it was decided
to order off all excursions, the week
end excursions as well as the special
excursions, and hereafter travelers will
be brought to Charleston only on the
regular trains, when provided with the
prescribed certificates, in accordance
with the proclamation af v, ayor Rhett.
The board of health called off the At
lanta, Macon and Greenville excursions
a week ago on account of the lax pro
visions regarding the travel of refugees
from the infected points and the mat
ter of the excursions from other points
was deferred for future consideration.
The health authorities have now exam
ined into the situation, and the inves
tigation has shown a loose way of issu
ing certificates, and the quarantine
committee decided that the same rule
apply generally, as to the particular
excursion,and the order was accord-
ingly prepared and dispatched to the
railroads.
The announcement has been made
for several days in the press that the

The strong sentiment favoring ware

rapidly materializing.

ments and each compartment of di

on end, making storage for 48,000 bales.
These warehouses will be rented to

A Rather Compromising Proposition
In the course of his speech at Edge-
field on the 5th inst., Senator Tillman
said : ’‘It is a much greater question for
the people of South Carolina to settle
how they shall wisely and best govern
the sale of liquor t han whether I or some
one else represents them in the senate.”
Is this really and truly the Senator’s
highest conception of the people’s
needs? For all the seeming innocence
with which his estimate of the
people of this State is set forth we feel
obliged to differ with him. In Aiken,
for instance, we have heard on good au
thority that seven-eighths of the liquor
sold by the dispensary is sold to negroes.
It may not be far wrong to say it is
equally true in most places.

Petitions com ining the names of 718 ;
reputed qualified voters in that county
were filed witli the supervisor by Mr.
P. M Crunch on Saturday asking that
an election be ordered at once on tiie
question of "d'spensury” or “no dis
pensary” for Saluda county. There
are a few pet tions not yet returned but
it is well known that considerably more
than one-fourth of the qualified voters
have signed those filed
There are „aid to be about 1.600 regis

1 Tiie petitions pray for the ordering of
an election at once, but it is not known
when the supervisor will order.
Those fighting the dispensary have
done all required of them by the law
and the matter is now squarely up to
the officers of the law to decide wheth

and to fix the date for such an election
if it is ordered.

THE ROMANCE OF MARY /s.NN
Both Jones an'i Brown loved Man- Ana.
And Jones was vir;. small
And monk* ylike, and people said
He had no brains at all.
Now, Brown was big and handsome, toot
At school he led his class.
And people, filled with wander, turned
Ofturnes to see him pass.
Jones bad a father who was rich;
Brown worked for what he had.
Because good luck had never tagged
Around behind his dad.
It chanced that Brown and little Joatf
Went forth upon a day
To claim the lovely Mary Ann
And carry her away.
They found her playing on the linka,
Where both rushed forward, and
Utile Brown was pleading for her heart
Jones pleaded for her hand.
••You won my heart long, long ago,'*
She sweetly said to Brown,
“And now be kind enough to iurt
Go way hack and
Then lovely Mary Ann that day
Said: “Fate has wisely planned,
heart is his who yearned for itf
The other baa my hand.”
