'Mr. John Hinkle, a Baltimore lawyer,
finds the four conspicuous faults of mod
ern legislation to be these: "First, the
excessive number of bills introduced;
second, the quantity of hasty and slipshod
bills passed and actually placed upon the
Blatote books, or requiring the use of the
Executive veto: third, the tendency to lo
ad laws and local exceptions to general
laws;; fourth, the nullification of constitu
fiDnal provisions as to the date when laws
bicorne operative." With possible ex
on of the fourth all these are familiar
in this latitude.
Greater New York, now the second lar
gest city under one government in the
world, is trying to rise above politics.
The Citizens' Union have organized to
g ve the new municipality a clean gov
ernment, and they think that they cm do
tliis by nominating a man who is not a
pirt'izan and not prominently identified
vsith any political organization. Seth
Low, President of Columbia College, is
p resented as such a man. The Republi
cans and Democrats are fighting to draw
purty lines, each party having its own
candidate. If ie thought that tho Citi
zen's Union will draw principally from
the Republicans, and weaken their party
more than the Democratic, and that the
chances, therefore, are in favor of the reg

so long as we are prosperous and happy.
But let the true test of friendship come;
let ine man be tried by tribulations and

the experience of most men and women?
Do the friends who besmear us with

are some to whom we have extended bel

Five Men Lynched.
'Versailles, Ind., Sept. 15.?A mob of
infuriated men last night lynched Lyle
Levi, Bert Andrews, Clifford Gordon,
William Jenkins and Hiney Sch?ler.
i They were taken from the authorities.
The men had been arrested for burgla
ry. Frequent robberies had enraged the
citizens of the cone ty and the mob was
composed of citizens from Milam, Suman
and other towns.
The mob on horseback entered the
town an hour after midnight and called
ont tJailer Kenan, who, upon refusing
to give up the keys, was then overpower
ed
Tho mob soon pushed its way into the
cell rooms and in their impatience fired
on the five prisoners and then dragged
thorn to a tree a square irom the jail door
anJ-nung them up.
Andrews and Gordon have already
boon wounded, having been shot several
times while attempting to rob astore at
Correct last Saturday night. Schuler was
in jail for attempting burglary and Lev!
and Jenkins had teen indicted by the
grand jury for robbery. They had failed
to .rive rjond and were put in jail last eve
ning. It was thought that Levi and
Scbuler were both dead from the shots
fired by the mob when they were taken
from jail.
The bandages on the wounded men
were found later thi s morning on the
streets through which the men were
dragged along.
Lyle Levi was an old soldier and, bore
on his face wounds received during the
civil war while fighting for the Union.
None of the lyuchers are known. They
all came from a distance, presumably
from the neighborhood of Correct,
wteretbetwo men were arrested Satur
day.

X Family Reunion.
Mr. Editor: On Tuesday, the 7th inst,
a most happy day was spent at the home
of our venerable friend, Mr. J- B. Pruitt,
who lives in Marlin Township, 13 miles
southeast of .the city of Anderson. That
day had been selected by his children to
meet and speed one more day at the old
homestead and have a family reunion.
It was agreed by all tbe members of the
family to congregate together near the old
home and take the venerable parents by
surprise. Neither Mr. or Mrs. Pruitt
knew anything of the proposed occasion.
Bright and early on the day set apart
the children, with their respective families,
assembled about one-half o? a mile distant
from the old home and formed a proces
sion, the oldest couple and their little ones
taking the front, and so on down to the
youngest until all were in line. In this
way they advanced on the old home- The
eged father and mother soon saw a long
line of carriages and buggies coming down
the road. They were amized and wonder
ed what was tbe matter. The precession
draws nearer and Mr. and Mrs. Pruitt
come out to sed it. Io a few minutes they
recognize the eldest daughter, with her
husband and children, and then the eldest
eon with bis family, and by the time the
second and third daughters, with their
families, drove up, the aged couple was so
overjoyed that their eyes were moistened
with tears. If, was indeed a grand s'ght to
see the meeting of all their children, grand
children, sons inlawanddanghtere-in-law.
?o one but God alone knows what a
stream of happiness was fleeting through
the minds of t?ie aged couple as they met
and greeted each of their loved ones.
The hours passed by too swiftly and were
spent moat pleasantly in various ways.
In the meant me a long table bad been
erected in the beautiful grove in front of
tbe dear old mansion, and the fair hands
of the matrons and maidens soon had it
loaded with the tempting viands that had
been brought from their respective homos.
Dinner being announced, the happy party
with the invited guests gathered around
the table and cid full justice to the delici
ous feast spread before them- Enough
was left to have fed tbrice tho number
present. After dinner (he party scattered
about in groups and spent the time in
pleasant conversation and walking around
under the giant old oaks, where thoy bad
so often in days gone by played hall, mar
bles and indulged in otber childhood
sports. Doubtless some of them may have
tbougbt they would love to live over those
happy days again.
Mr. Pruit is tbe seventh son of the late
Wm. Pruitt, who died in 1855, and whose
father was a soldier in the Revolutionary
war His mother's maiden name was
Francis Tucker, who died in 1883 at a ripe
old age. Mrs. Pruitt is a daughter of the
late Robert Parker, who was a sou of John
Parker, a native of Ireland and brave
soldier in tbe Revolutionary war. Her
mother was Mary Gar?brell, daughter of
Henry Gambreli. The Pruitt family
originally came from England and the
Parkers from Ireland. Mr. Pruitt was
born in 1S31 near where he now lives.
Hie wifs is four years bis junior. They
were married in January, 1S52, and have
lived ever since where they now reside,
except one y6ar?1853?which tbey spent
in Tippah County, Miss. Thoy have bad
born to them six sons and five daughters
One sou died in infancy, and all tbe other
children are still living. They have twen
ty-nine grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs.
Pruitt were lovers and play mate? in child
hood, their parents being neighbors. They
joined tbe old Mt. Bethel Baptkit Church
in early life under tbe ministry of the late
Rev. D. Simmons, who died in Tesas some
years ago. and still bold their membership
at this Church. Their oldest daughter,
Mary, married R. \V. Drake, of Donalds ;
their eldest son, R W., married Miss
Minnie Riley, of Anderson ; the second
daughter, Mittle, marriec! j. J. Findley, of
Anderson ; the third daughter, Rosa, mar
ried J. L. Jackson, of Cooks; tbe second

Long, who died some years ago ; the third
son, J C, married Miss Anna Mnjor, of
Denver; the fourth son. E J, married
Miss Jett Scudday, of Anderson ; the
fourth daughter, Birdie, married Oscar
Bowie, of Cooks. Miss Nina and. Walter,
tbe ycungest son, are still domiciled in the
old mansion trying to make the last days
of tbelr fond parents pleasant'. All of
these own good bornes and bave plenty of |
this world's geodi.'
Late in the afternoon all ci the kindred
and invited guests assembled in a group
in front of the house, where fctood Ander
son's accomplished photographer, Mr. J.
II Collins, who inad6 a picture of the
entire party. Mr. Collins then took one
of tbe venerable parents and the ten chil
dren in a group.
Thus ended a most happy occasion,
which will be long remembered by all
who were present.
We hope Mr. and Mrs. Pruitt may be
spared to baye many more such reunions,
and at last, when the Lord shall come,
may they be an unbroken family in the
Heavenly Kingdom. R

Outlook for the 0. P. Men.
Tho Seaboard Air Lino and tho Colum
bia, Now berry aud Laurens railroads
have joined forces with the Southern and
the Atlantic Coast Line in their refusal to
longer haul uncased bottles packod
loose in boxcars for original package
stores. Tho Florida Contrai and Penin
sular, tho South Carolina and Georgia and
tho Charleston and Western Carolina
roads seems still bent on getting all tho
business they cau. In view of tho circu
lars sont out by tho Southern and Coast
Line, tho F'lorida Central and Peninsu
lar has issued instructions to its agents
not to receive shipments for connecting
lines.
At first sight tho action of the South
ern, tho Coast Lino and tho Seaboard
would appear to bo a death blow to the
original package dealers throughout the
8tato, but a glance at a railroad map en
tirely disprovos it. The Counties that can
bo reached by tho roads independent of
tho agreement are: Oconee, Pickens,
Greenville, Spartanburg, Laurens, An
derson, Abbeville, Edgefiold, Aiken,
Barnwell, Hampton, Beaufort, Colle
ton, Berkeley, Charleston, Orangebnrg,
Lexington, Richland, Georgetown, Kor
shaw, Lancaster, York, Chester and Hor
ry
The counties most seriously affected are
those of Uniou, Fnirfield, Newberry,
Sumter, Clarendon, Williamsburg, Flor
ence, Marion, Marlboro and Darlington.
But somo of these are near enough to the
North ..rolina line to enable" buying
liquor in original packages to be hauled
in by wagons, if tho "o. p.'s" care to do
so.
Columbia original package agents are
not perturbed over the situation in the
slightest. They still have two railroads
which aro willing to bring in as many
carloads of liquors in'looso bottles as they
desire They are at a loss, though, to un
derstand why the railroads should begin
to kick on haulinc breakable goods uncas
ed when the breakage thus far has been in
finitesimal.
What will bo tho action of the State of
ficials to compel these recalcitrant roads
to yield to their demands? is an interest
ing question. A few weeks ago throats
woro made of forfeiting their charters
and getting injunctions from the Stato
Jupromo Court restraining thorn from
hauling liquors for . p.' agents. An in
timation was m ade yesterday by a depart
ment assistant that should the Florida

DAME FASHION
Again claims our Attention after a few
weeks rest, and to her reign we
must now submit.
We should not begrudge her the attention, for she has
been unusually kind this season in bringing back the Stan
dard Materials in beautiful new shades. Soft, light-weight
Wool Goods predominate. Fine Whip Coids, in black and
colors, Pingalines, Canvas Cloths, Vigarots, Drab 'Etes, Gran
ite weaves and other Goods too numerous to mention.
Those pretty Plains and Roman Stripes have her seal of
approval, and for those beautiful shades of Browns, Greens,
Reds and Blues, which came in Plain as well as Plaids and
Stripes,rwe should be especially grateful. For all of these
we have Trimmings to suit, and you should bear in mind
that with these a touch of black is indispensable.
We have the Satins, the Braids, the Buttons, the Buckles
and all the little things necessary to make the toilette com
plete and stylish.
We also wish to mention that heretofore we have had
one good Dress Maker, but she has secured the assistance of
another most excellent Modiste, and from now we will have
two of the best Mantua-Makers to be found in upper South
Carolina. Come and let them help select the Dress, and they
will be sure to give you a becoming, stylish, up-to-date
