SEPTEMBER 24. I1H>2
Wbcrela the Justice?
A deplorable fact which many
people in tliia section would like
to have explained in why lhe Stale
constables watch the border towns
BO closely for contraband whiskey
dealeis and yet allow monstrous
iiliud timers to ilourish in the very
hearts of the larger cities of the
State. As a proof that such conditions
exist we cite attention to
the seizure of Saturday morning,
when a force of constables visited
this place and seized a few gallons
of whiskey which arrived here
on the morning train, the greater
part of which, however, was later
relensed, it being learned that the
oousigneos wore people who do
not tniy it for the purpose of re
tailing. Now, it ho happened that
on this particqar morning to our
certain knowledge there passed
through Fort Mill iu a car lot!
kegs of contraband whiskey con
jsigned to Columbia. Of course,,
the constables hero wore not aware
of the fact and if they hud been
the stutf could not have been
sej7,eq ueioro reach inn Us (lestinntion.
That it lauded safely in
Columbia is made evident by the
fact that none of the Capital City
papers have thus far contained
notice of its seizure. Hence, it
would seem that there is a lack of ;
enforcement of the law in some j
sections of the State, while in
other parts it is carried to extremes,;
and while The Times would not
have it understood that this urtiele
is written in defence of the blind
ti^ere, it seems to iih that what if?
^ood or bad for Columbia would
liavo n like effect, upot) other
sections of the State and we are
are at a loss to know just, why this ;
deplorable state of affairs is allowed
to exist.
And agaoi. every business man
in Fort Mill, without exception,
has been for the past month or
two exercised over the damaging
effect these wholesale seizures have
had upon his business. The attacks
of the constables have been
especially directed against the em
pjoyeee of tho Oatawba Power,
Company and on more than one
payday every package directed to a
' dam" man was seized. Most of
these employees are strangers to
South Carolina laws, and they will
parry home with them strange recollections
of a law that authorizes
the oontisnntion of the whiskey of
nineteen law abiding men because
the twentieth illegally uses it.
Fort Midi being the nearest point |
to the dap). formerly g >t hundreds
of dollars of the $f>,000 to $8,000
disbursed there every two weeks.
Now we do not get the tenth of it.
The trade has been diverted to
Charlotte and other points and
* I i ? -
me town suffers from a boycott
because these people have been
Unfairly treated here. Monday a
darkey from the country wandered
nronnd tqwn heart-broken all day
beoause his annual purchase of
one gallon of whiskey had been
seised. The town authorities and
citizens of Fort Mill have always
been active in enforcing the
law against blind tigers, more so
than most towns, and will continue
to do so, and there ia no reason
why it should be imposed upon
and seemingly discriminated against.

Wanted.
Almost everybody wants flour.
It ciwi be had lor the money:
but if one has not the money, how
can it l.?e paid for.
Your two hundred orphans at
the Thornwoll Orphanage need
the flour to make broad of. but
they have neither the silver nor
the tfold to pay for it.
Tlie little town of Clinton, in
which the orphanage is situated,
will head the subscription with
twenty-tive of the two hundred
and fifty barrels needed. Pastors,
deacons, kind ladies. cannot your
church, your town do something
toward swelling the subHcriplion.
Let each strong church send us
ten barrels, urul the weak ones
seven, five, three, two barrels, or
even one. Let up supply our orphan
children with Hour and that
at once. They will make it into
bread.

Slanders South Carolina.
According t?? tin* Columbia l?ocord,
tho secretary of Stale on Monday
received a rt>py of some resolutions
adopted at. Portland, Mi?.,
rtvi'r l.oOO miles away, concerning
tin* working of ohildren in tin*
mills.
Tho resolutions were unanimously
adopted hy the Central
Labor union of t hat city and a copy
of then) was ordered sent to the
legislatures of South Carolina and
Alahntpa. The tirst part, of the
resolutions refers part ieularly to
Alahatnn ami is, comparatively
speakintr, mild. South Carolina,
however, is severely denounced
for perinittiiivr "20,000 children,
half starved, too spiritless to laut^li
nud too dead to weep," to work in
the mills. The papor eoes on to
say that the people of this State
should he ashamed tooormit them.
Helves to be bo controlled by tli?capitalists,
and winds up with the
hint that the national government
may take a hand in the matter.
Ah a matter of fact, out of 2(?,OOo
employeea in the cotton inillH
only about DUO are children: anil,
as Htated in a recent article pub
halted in The Tradesman, a Southern
industrial magazine. this nuiuber
will be much reduced when the
schools open.

Miss Clair Harris, of Pineville,

We are glad to learn that Master
White Consart, who has had
a mild attack of typhoid fever, is
recovering.
Farmers are busily engaged in
harvesting their crops and, as
usual, they seem disappointed in
its ' turn out."
Air. W. P. Normnn (U.T. P. M."),
one of Pleasant Valley's most energetic
and thrifty citizens, isoperating
a public ginnery. This mill
the npw mercantile establishment
of Mr. J. W. Elms, evidences the
fact that Pleasant Valley is still
making progress.
Since it has been suggested that
a suitable monument be erected to
the memory of the late Prof. L.
Shnrlpy, we consider this an opportune
tune to raise tho fund for
this purpose. A majority of the
scholars who received their train
ins under the care of this grand
old man are now farmers, and it
Would probnhly suit them belter
at this season of the year to make
a donation than at any other. This
matter has been dormant too long
already and tho many friends of
the deceased should get together
and act. We understand that several
subscriptions have been received
by Mr. W. B. Meackam at
Fort Mill, and we hope to hpar of
numerous others during the month.
