There was a bill introduced in the recent legislature seeking to put the expense of creating new counties upon the movers of the proDosition failed because of not being reached on the Calendar of the House: the bill passed the Senate and we had no idea but that it would pass the House eas ily, bat to our surprise it did not get pushed and became one of the measures that went to the legislative grave yard at the wind up. This measure has merit as well as justice to commend it. and it should be the law, unless the legislature does give relief, the old counties are liable at any time to be mulct in great expense whenever a few persons chose to agitaze a new county. The recent agitation to create Rutlidge county has cost the taxpi.yers a considerable sum of money, both in Williamsburg and Clarendon, with no benefit to either county, and we are again threatened with another scheme to create a new county out of Sumter, Florence. Williamsburg and Clarendon. It the promoters of these new county schemes had to pay the expense then per haps they would not be so ready to launch the proposition. We opposed the Rutledge county movement from a sense of duty, and felt it was due this people to do all in our power to prevent Clirendon losing any part of her territory, but if we had reason to oppose the creation of Rutledge we have a greater reason to op pose the creation of the county contemplated to make Olanta a county seat. If the Olanta prop osition is to go through it simply means the loss to Clarendon of about 200 square miles of terri * tory, and the increasing of taxes to a considerable degree. We * would lose from Clarendon the townshins of Douglas, Sandy Grove, New Zion and Midway, making the river the line, and for what? To promote the interests of a few town lot owners at Olan ta, they would be the most bene fitted while the rest of the county will have additional burdens forc ed upon them. Already the pro moters of this scheme are work ing and in last Sunday's News there appeared along article from a Florence correspondent boost -ing the project, but those who read this article can easily sur mise that the correspondent was employed for the, purpose of aid ing the projectors of the new county scheme. We have an abiding faith in the voters of the townships sought to be taken from Clarendon Lo stand by the county as it is, and until it is done~we cannot believe that Midway. New Zion, Douglas and Sandy Grove will lend themseives to the schemes of the agitators, nor do we believe that it is pos sible for this new county to be created, and leave Clarendon with the necessary area, but under the law now, these new county pro moters can go ahead, have a sur vey, hold an election, and wheth er they are successful or not, the expense comes out of the taxpay ers o? the old counties they seek to aismember. We hope the people of the Sa lem section of this county will re fuse to sign the petitions that will be circulated; by refusing to sign they can prevent the expense in a large measure. Of course the circulators of the petitions will have all manner of good things to promise, but the safest thing to do is torefuse to sign the pe titions- ______ THEE REMAIS GOOD PICKING ON THE DISPENSALY GOOSE. The attorneys for the winding up commision have succeeded in getting through the legislature a measure which will give them more picking at the funds in the hands of the county dispensaries. they have about milked the State dispensary dry and now they pro pose to graze in new pastures. It is all right to make the concerns that robbed the State disgourge, but in doing so, it begins to look like the collections only breed another form of graft. Since the legislature adjourned Mr. Felder one of the attorneys from Atlan ta, who is workirg on a commnis sion basis has sezt out orders to those in charge of county dispen sary funds to turn said fund over to the State Winding-np Commis sion, instead of paying it to the parties the counties are owing. Just what right Mr. Felder has to give these orders, either by telephone or letter, we capinot see, if the attorney general can not attend to the work of his of fice, then he should be provided with help at home- and not im port it from Atlanta. The firm of lawyers that Mr. Felder is con nected with has gotten rich from the dispensary up-heavel, and we think it is about time that their services can be dispensed with, so that whatever the State can re oover out of the whiskey houses the money so recovered can find its way in theState treasurywhere it rightfully belongs. If the peo plC of the State arc going to let this money be scooped up by a few lawyers, they might as well have permitted the original thiev es keep it. The whole thing is beginning to take on the appear ance that can be best related by an incident said to have occurred. A countryman was looking at the sights of a great city, when a pick-pocket came along and re lieved him of his big fat purse, another pick-pocket happened to see the performance and he rush ed forward grabbed the thief and said to him, "I saw you rob that stranger and you cannot get off with the money," the first thief fearing arrest gave up the purse to the fellow who caught him, but this fellow went on with the swag and the countryman never got a cent; so it will be with this dispensary fund, the lawyers have caught the men who robbed the State all right, but when they get through getting their share of the recovered money, the rob bed taxpayers will wonder where ther come in HAVE A SEPARATE BOX. This is campaign year and there will be a multitude of as Ipirants for office: in order that the voters will be able to select men in the primary on merit, we suggest that the Democratic State convention grequire the State Executive Committee to have placed at each club voting in the primary, a separate box wherein the voters may express their preference between Prohi bition and Local Option. If this is done, then the gentlemen who are candidates can go before the voters on some other issue than liquor. There is no doubt in our mind that the people are hearti ly tired of hearing the liquor question discussed, and are also of the opinion, that the mind of the people is settled upon this annoying problem. They know without any further discussion whether or not they want a State-wide prohibition law, and, should they decide in the manner suggested, to desire State-wide prohibition, they will say so, and those who are nominated in the in the primary will be pledged to carry out the expressed wish of their constituents, even though they personally do not agree with such expression. It may be argued by some that the people in certain counties have already given expression, but we do not agree with them, because in the vote taken when certain county dispensaries were voted out, in most cases there was not a full expression. be cause of the strict requirements to vote, many declining to go to the trouble to secure registra tion tickets, but where the ques tion is put up to them in the pri mary, every white voter will go to his club and give his expres sin in the ballot box, then there will be no excuse for men nomi nated for office to do other than carry out the instructions from his people. Remove the liquor question from the campaign and the can didates can discuss questions lookiig towards retrenchment in the government; they can dis cuss matters that will tend to further improve our educational problem, they will also offer their views on the tax problem; none of these important matters can be properly handled as long as the liquor question is para mount, and as long as a candi date's position on the whiskey question is the only qualification for office. There is only one way to get a clear voice of the people, that is to provide a means, aside from the personality of the indi vidual candidate, that will speak in no uncertain way, and in our judgment the placing of the sep arate box by order of the Demo cratic conv<.ntion will accomplish the result. WHO ARE THE STOCEOLDERS2 There is a prospect now to learn who are the stockholders of the Carolina Glass Company, because suit has been instituted against it by the winding-up commission for S29.000, and against the Richland Distillery for $500,000. It will be remem bered that THE TIES has fre quently asked The State of Co lumbia to give the public the names of the stockholders of this local glass company, and so far it has not done so, but when pressed, claimed that it had pub lished these names previously, then it proceeded to get ugly by calling us names over the shoul ders of Senator Till man, and eulogizing the people who had stock in a company which it is alleged by the winding-up com mission, have robbed the State out of thousands of dollars. We know nothing of the merits of the charge made against the owners of the glass company, but The State was so bitter agaist others who were charged Iby this same commission with Iwrong doing. that we thought it should not discriminate in favor Iof its local thieves but come out and advocate the punishment of al alike, instead of adopting this course it resented the accu sation against the local grafters, and attempted to put them be fore the world as above reproach: any hint to the contrary brought forth from The State denuncia tion. Now let us know whbo are ithese high-minded men The State is shielding, and then let us see by what aathority the commis 'sion bases its charge against the.

Duncan, Esq., the man known to thepeople of the State as the one who fought John Gary Evans so hard in the campaign for the United States Senate, in which Judge Joseph H. Earle won, is before us. and it is a hot one sure. There akre some allega tions in it we are not disposed to -believe. but if what Duncan says is true the people should know it and visit the proper punish ment upon the guilty ones. We have been satistied for sometime that mercenary greed and scurvy politics figured in the asylum trouble, and that there existed a conspiracy to get hold of the asylum lands for the purpose of speculation, but we would not zo so far as to charge all of those who voted to ruin the character of Doctor Babcock in the estilha tion of the masses, as being con sciously parties to the conspiracy. Some of them we believe were misled by the exaggerated rep resentations made by those who were playing into the hands of the Columbia land sharks. Dun can's "Reporter." of coarse will not be noticed by the dailies of Columbia, as they regard its editor irresponsible, but all the same, he can tell the truth, and when he does, it will leave its mark. THE TIMES editor has received an invitation to attend "the con ference for education in the South, to be held at Little Rock, Arkansas. April 6 to 8th. At this conference leading professional men from all over the Union wiiI be present, and it would afford us much pleasure could we at tend also. but other matters will have our attention at that date. The high price of food stuffM is a problem that is giving the country at large much concern. The efforts of the politicians to put the blame.on the other polit ical party does not appeal to us, it is our opinion that the present condition is not attributable to any political party, but it is sole ly the cause of greed and avarice. It is gratifying to note the de nial of the report sent out from Edgefield that the mothers there sent a wreath of flowers tied with crepe to Senator Tillman. When the statement was made in the press dispatches we doubt ed it. and now since it is denied, and the local rewspaper that first published the story explains it was misinformed and apolo gises for publishing it, we he.ve not lost onr high estimate of tLe good and noble women of Edge field. It is true there existed a strong feeling against Senator Tiliman, not only in Edgefield, but all over the State. asnd prop erly so, but whcn it comes to re joicing in his affiction brave people cannot and will not do that. Therefore, when the false report was sent out reflecting upon the honor and bravery of the women of Edgefield, those people would not let it go with out protest and denial. The News and Courier is now edited by Robert Lathan, who was at one time the stenographer for the third judicial circuit, ap pointed by Judge R. 0. Purdy. In this position he was regarded one of the best in the State, noted for his correctness and thoroughness. Since going to the News and Courier the same determination to reach the top was manifested, and at the first opportunity he succeeded. We congratulate this young man, and wish for him a great career, which will be his if his health continues good. The beautiful words of praise given to Maj. J. C. Hemphill by the press and the business bodies on his moving to a new fields should cause that gentleman to return home, and never leave again. We hope that Maj. Hemp hill's successor will fill the void caused by the resignation of this most brilliant writer, and we be lieve he will, if given the proper support. if hard and conscien tios work will give to the News and Courier, the editor that such a paper merits, Robert Lathan will not be found lacking in the effort. Notwithstanding this, we hope Maj. Hemphill will come back home. The Sumter authorities are at last responding to public clamror and are making an earnest effort to rid the city of blind tigers, they show their earnestness by jerk ing up the white tigers as well as the black ones, would that other towns do a little work among the whites in towns not as large as Sumter. As we have frequently observed, unless the law is en forced better than it has been in the past, prohibition will even disgust a Prohibitionist. These sasmodic arrests do not amount t much more than putting mon ey into the treasuries, but if the vigilance is kept up as it should be then, even those who are not Prohibitionists will have more faith in the professions of the prohibition advocates. so far as stopping the unlawful sale is con cerned. The Prohibitionists can not be held responsible for not being able to reduce the consump tion of liquor, because the fed Ieral laws emnbarass their efforts, thy cannot help the stuff being shipped into dry territory, the only thing they can d. is to stop the stuff being sold after it does ge here, and this all good citi zens should aid them in doing, whether they favor prohibition or not. it just will not do to let a lawless element defy the laws Iof the State. The passing of Senator Tilman is a topic some newspaper writ ers are indulging themselves in these days. Perhaps they are premature, and had better wait until the passing of the Senator is more certain for it begins to look as if he will be spared for more usefulness, at least this should be the hope instead of fig uring on picking up his cast off shoes. There is need in this State, for a better system to disclosed the values of property, so a more equitable assessment of property can be made. To return proper ty at its full value with the pres ent constitutional three mill school tax would operate unjust lV, and to leave things as they are, is also an injustice. The question of remedying the trou ble, is the work of a commission composed of first-class business men, and the next legislature should provide for such a commis sion. The Sumter Herald in speaking of the candidacy of Hon. Thos. G. McLeod says he will come out of the fight in the also-ran-class. What makes the Herald make this prediction? Is it because its candidate. Hon. R. I. Manning. occupies a conspicous position in the also-ran-class? Watch the prediction of one who guesses correctly more often than he fails: Thomas G. McLeod will receive double as many votes in the com ing primary as will be cast for that excellentgentleman, Hon. R. 1. Manning. Why do we say so? It is because McLeod has always stood consistently by his convic Lions, and has not made enemies by running with the hare and barking with the hounds. And too, his being deserving of pro motion for good and faithful ser vice rendered, appeals to fair minded and appreciative people -a Carolinan characteristic. We failed to get last week's Beaufort Gazette, but judging from a comment in last Monday's Columbia Record, Senator Chris tensen who is editor of the Ga zeite, has been handing himself some posies for his distinguished services as chairman of the asylum investigating committee; in thus exalting himself he has evidently had a dream, when he intimates that Doctor Babcock placed his resignation in the hands of Governor Ansel, after Lhe midnight conlave in the judi ciary committee room that re sulted in the culmination of one of the most reprehensible schemes ever concocted in a par limentary body. The scheme was iadened with chagrin, spite, greed and dirty politics, and even after it was, thwarted, a protest was made because the spokesman for those bent on rev olution, was not recognized, and appointed on the committee to solve the problem in a patriotic manner. Summerton News. Editor The Manning Times: The deficiency in rain-fall during the early winter at this place, of which we have spoken previously, seems to have been fully counteracted by the abnor mal fall on last Wednesday night and continuing all day Thursday. Without naving hleard its actual measure in in ches, it is safe to say that seldom if ever has there been such a heavy fall of wat er. Preceded by a strong wind, the rain began about midnight on Wednesday and continued almost unabated until Thursday evening. Having had such a generous supply of moisture, the soil should soon be in excellent condition for the early plowing which our farmers are making ready for. Every day for the ast ten days or two weeks has witness ed the constant unloading of cars of fer tilizer: and already we are infected with pring's significant call to action. Another evidence that not only our farmers but all citizens are on the alert, ever ready to go forward to the command of "March" is that there are several prospective building to be erected in the near future. There are to be found no vacant, dweilings in town, and some who would make their residence here must wait for d wellings to be completed. Mr J1. M. Woodley whose family is a recent and very welcomie acqusition to Summerton. has rented until a commo dious dwelling can be built upon the plantation which he has bought a few miles from town. It is also understood that Mr. John Brailsford, proprietor of the 10 cent store, has sig'nilied his in tention of building at an early date. Rev. E. S. Jones is well pleased with his list, of subscriptions to the new Methodist Church: and it is hoped that the build ing may be begun very soon. Having remained here the full four years, Mr. Jones will no doubt feel very much grat ited and just so, to leave behind him such an evidence of his good work. Our town Council, continuing its us ual activ-ity, has purchased more light to be placed along the streets. While of course these will serve to reinforce the present lamps, they will not be put in their st-ead: but they are an improve provement on them. The new lights are said to be 2,500 candle power. having in connection with each a gasoline tank. Several events of social prominence invite our attention this Weesc. On Tues day afternoon. February 22nd, at the home of Mr-s. Carlisle Ragin the "Sum merton Novel Readers" entertained a number of their friends. This club is1 not ostensibly a social club but in depart ing from their routine management and' having their friends meet with them socially, they have placed upon the min utes of Summer-ton's Social Rec-ord a conspicuous event. R7eceived by Mrs.I Ragin, assisted by Mr-s. Fred Lanham and Miss Mabel Harper. the guests were invited into the parlor, which bespoke for the Father of our Country that Joy alty which the day claimed, by being profusely decorated in the national col ors and ilagrs. Here several entertain ing features were introduced, the most, iteresting of which was a rhyme con test.. The guests were coupled ofT by finding corresponding questions and ans wers on the life of George Washington. which had been written upon hatchet shaped cards, partners being the two with a given question and its answer. Papers were then distributed having the name "Washington" in the form of an acrostic upon it: using a letter from this to begin the initial word of each successive line, the guests were request ed to write a rhyme on Washington. The judges expressed themselves as as tounded with the evidences of poetical talent, and after' much labor ar rived at the decision that M iss Mabel Harper and Mrs. Fred Lanham had by their origi nal and rhythmical lines won the prize. The dining-room had been dark ened and shades of red. white and blue covered the windows, nermitting onlv of the canc.e light which cast a pleasing light over the prettily decorated room. Here around a table of white over which were strewei numerous artinicial cher ries, Misses Bertha Davis and Sallie A n derson served the guests with a dainty salad course followed by coffee served from a side table by Mrs. Razin. On Friday evening Dr. Ellison Ca pers, Jr. entertained a number of h4 gentlemen friendsatastag supper. Mrs. Capers assisted by Mrs. J. A. James. prepared for them a supper which coup led with their hospitable entertainment at the hands of Dr. Capers will serve as a happy memory to the fortunate par ticipants. Three courses were served after which. midst the jokes and well t-irned conversation of the guests the happy moments fled all too quickly. Those present were: Drs. W. 1. Mood. T. J. Davis and L. C.

These dates compass the years and days of our departed brother. .Tames Fant Broadway. Brother Broadway was born an-. brought up near Paxville. S. C. In phy sique our brother was of aw -age height and robust: in manner quie. and unos tentatious: in character sincere and above reproach. Wherever known, his worth was highly valued and deserved Il so. Being the eldest of his widowed mother's children, he was unto her and them strength and counsel. His Masonic career of short duration but it was seen at every step. that he sincerely appreciated the tenents of our great Fraternity, and he did not fail to honor the institution that bestowed up on him its benefits. His untimely end felled in the midst of life's labors and in the prime of life by the cruel hand of death-fills our hearts with sorrow and moves our eyes to tears. We feel keen lv his absence from: amongst us and mourn the loss of a true brother. We not only appreciate his life but, behold ing his unfinished column as man sees, we will try to learn well the lesson taught us by his untimely end. Life is uncertain, death is sure. With Masonic honors our brother was laid to rest in the cemetery of Home Branch Baptist Church. To the grief stricken mother, broth ers and sisters, we extend our condo lence.

"Water seeks its level- is an ex pression heard so frequen:ly as to be I almost trite, and yet the law has its exceptions. There are conditions un der which water actually flows up ward and rises above its source- If a glass tube be dipped Into water the column inside will be above the level of the surrounding surface. Moreover. If a tube of half the diameter be sub stituted the column doubles its height. The water creeps along the Inside of the tube, owing to the adhesion, and forms a cup shaped depression at *.he top. An explanation Is not difficult. It cn be proved mathematically that It tediameter of a circle be diminished one-halt the circumference Is also re duced to that extent, while the area Is one-fourth of Its former value. The circumference of the column of water being reduced one-half. Its contact with the glass, and hence the adhesive force. is also diminished to that extent. while the cross section. and hence the weight, Is decreased to a fourth of what It was before. Therefore the see nd column can be twice the height of the first without exceeding the lifting power. Remarkable as the underlying prin ciples cf this phenomenon undoubtedly are, nature made use of them long be fore man made their discovery. Every Itree and flower adds Its testimony.

Sense of Danger. Dr. Waldo of London holds that peo pe should develop a sixth sense to Inform them of the approach of dan grIn the streets.

My intuition Is almost infallible. like that blind faculty by which in absolute darkness one be comes aware of the proimity of bulky objects without touching them. If I hesitate to obey It a collision is the inevitable consequence. What pilots one quickly and safely through a thick press is not conscious observation at all, but unreasoning Intuitive percep tion." A Sight Worth Paying For.
