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

The loll-owing from the Sumter

requen'tly assisted the auditor and
reasurer in the office. He knew near

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.
Moses, Jr.

His doctor said 1he had an iron con
stitution;
His friends declared that fhe had

His enemies declared t!hait there .

else;
While others. said he had a lot of
sand.
And this admirers maintained that

A Child's Advice.
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."
