E.H. AU LL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at N ew berry, S. C., as second class matter. f t TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1905 . Governor Heyward has decided to let .the constables remain in Green 'ville and Spartanburg and we pre sume will let them remain in Ander son ;also. It seems that in these coun ties the opinion of the people is di vided on the wisdom of the governor's action, some of them holding that the law can be a:s well enforced without the constables as with them while others hold t-he contrary view. In view of the conflicting tpinions f and -with the fact that the law is be ing violated the governor has decided to leave the constables in all the coun ties now voting out the dispensary until the legislature meets and then let 5 that body determine what shall be done. As we understand The Brice law it is left optional with the Cgov- C ernor what course he shall pursue. t The law carries with it a levy of one- " h-alf mill tax on all the property in the -county voting out the dispensary, said fund to be at the disposal of -the governor for enforcing the law in case he deems it necessary to isend constables in those counties but if not the money -reverts to the county funtd. / C fhst what is best to do is a puzzling c question. We never have favored the t state constabulary and the whole bus iness should be abolished. If it should become necessary' in any coun-ty to have extraordinary help to enforce the < law each county ought' to be left to -arrange for it and to pay 'vhe cost. We are satisfied that -Governor B ey-ward is anxious 'to do .what is right and 'best and 'probably the best I tng for him to do is to leave the Sconstables in the prohibition counties - until the legislature meets as that Sevent is so near. Then the members of the legislature, fresh f.rom the peo- ' pIe can take .such action as to this1 mattef. as their wisdom may dictate. Thanksgiving. Thursday of this week has been set apart by proclamation of the presi dent of the United States and the gov eror of this state as a day of thanks vigand prayer. All public offices " will be closed and all business sus ~pended. In Newberry the joint ser -vc will be held in the opera house. It is right and proper that we should give thanks to the giver of all -good for the blessings 'we enjoy as a ' people, as a nation and as individuals. Thanics for the blessings of health and strength, f'or the yield of the field and the general good will whi'ch pre vails among all our people. But amidst all our 'happiness and gpood cheer we shou.ld not forget the fatherless. One of the best and most suibstantial 'ways of showing our grat iti.de is by helping those who have 'been bereft of father and mother. As ye 'd'id unto thie least of these. ye did it unto me. The ope,ra house should be filled on Thursday and every one - should go prepared to 'help the orphans. KThe court of common pleas 'had no thing ready for trial yesterday, and yet we have an extra week set of ju rors because of the unusual amount of business. If our lawyers would get 'busy the cot'rt might be purged of their congestion and there would be no necessity for extra terms and spe Henry Claremont Moses. The loll-owing from the Sumter ews gives the announcement of the eath of Mr. H. C. Moses. Mr. Moses ived in Nowberry for many years. -le was at one time clerk of court and requen'tly assisted the auditor and reasurer in the office. He knew near y every man in the county. white and >Iack. For some 'time it has been known hat Mr. H. C. Moses could not live. 3ut the. announcemnent of his death )rought a shock of pain, as such an iouncements always do no mat.ter iow expected they may be, to his nany friends in this city and t-hrough >ut the state. \Jr. Moses was a most :ourteous and affable gentleman with L pleasan-t word and a genial smile or friends and acquaintances as he vent in and out among them. He :ame from a family that has been dentified w-ith Sumter from its earli st history. During all the growth f this city from village to town and rom town to city his family before tim and then he, have been loyal :itizens cultured themselves they have Iways taken great interest in educa ion and literary movements. He him elf was very fond of recalling per ons and incidents of Sumter in her arly days, and 'his remarkable ,memo y was a storehouse of snch lore. His record in the fraternal orders >f -the county bears unambiguous estimony to the esteem in which he vas 'held by those who knew 'h.im vell. The story of -his .doings du.ring -the reat struggle that shook our coun ry shines out as unmistakable evi ence of his -devotion 'to his country. Henry Claremont Moses, son of udge Montgomery and Katherine loses, was born August 16, 1841. He Traduated -from 'the South ;Carolina olege at the age of nineteen in the lass of i86o, and almost upon leaving he halls of -that class.ic institution, e heard the call of 'his country and ntered her service in Company D, :nd South Carolina volunteers. He vas soon appointed a sergeant of his :ompany. He was wounded at the irst battle of Manasses on July 21, :861, an.d was soon afterward pro noted for gallantry to a 1-ieutenan'cy n Company B, Lucas Artillery, of the 'egulars. He served with great gal antry during 'the rest of the war. It s worthy of note as an evidence of rs unwillingness to shirk work, that mee when at home on 'a furlough, he ~ladly gave up 'a part of his hard ~arned holiday 'to go 'and volunteer s services in Florence when 'he heard hat Federal prisoners 'were escaping rom that 'place. Another inpstance of this same ~piit -is seen in his volunteering for louble duty and serving day and ight during a trying time at Bat :ery Wagner. He always 'took great interest in ~ecret orders, 'whose fraternal spirit .ppealed to his highly developed so :ial nature. He 'was Past High Priest f the Grand Chapter of this state, md a 32nd degree Mason. He was, for many year's a nember f the Grand Lodge of the Knights >f Honor, an-d served 'on many im ortant committees of that body. He was also, for several terms, an officer n the Knights of Pythias. He was Adjutant of Camp Dik Anderson of the United Confederate Veter'ans at the 'time of his death and always took great interest in the :amp. In January 1878, he married Miss Andrena W'er'ber, of Newberry, S. C. Theirchildren are: Mrs. Win. Moran, Mrs. H.'R. van Derenter, Misses Min nie, Alice an1d Katie Moses, and H. C.

Senator Johnson of Fairfield, who ~as ruled for contempt of court, in having spoken to a juror about the case on trial, appeared before the court and sta.ted that he did not know the man to 'be a juror and meant no disrespect -to the court.

The hanging of Epps Snowden did not take place at Kingstree on ac count of some uncertainry as to the effect of his abandoned appeal on the sentence of the icourt. It .was 'decid ed to postpone the execution until Snowden can be resentenced. The dispensary was voted out in Anderson on Saturday by a majority of about two to one. Mere Man. His doctor said 1he had an iron con stitution; His friends declared that fhe had nerves of steel; His uncle thought he had a wooden head; The girls all s.aiid he had a heart of stone: His enemies declared t!hait there . was more brass to him than anything else; While others. said he had a lot of sand.

One morning a Sunday schiool was. about to be dismissed and the young sters were already in anticipation of relaxing their cramped little limbs after the hour's confinlement in straight backed chairs and benches, when the superintendent arose and in stead of the usual dismission, an nounced: "And now children, let me introduce Mr. Smith who will give us a shorit talk." Mr. Samith s'milin.gly a'rose and after gazing impressively around the class room, 'began with: "I hardly know what to say," when the w'hole school was convulsed to hear a small, thin voice back in the re.ar, lisp: "Thiay amen and thit down."
