Against Toy Pistols
Anions the bills in trod uoed in
the Senate Friday was one in
which every small boy in the State ;
is interested. Senator StnnhiuU,
of Dorchester, is the author of
the bill which aims to prevent th?>
sale of toy pistols, caps and toV
pistol cartridges. There is already |
a law preventing the sale of tire j
crackers 3 inches in length, and
last year there was very little violation
of the law. Cap pistols
were used, however and a lar^e :
number of deaths from- lockjaw j
were reported from various sections
of the State from injuries
received from cap pistols and
other toys supposed to ho harmless.
The bill provides a heavy
penalty for violation of the law.

Heywnrd Will TacKle the "Tigers."
It ia said that the liquor situn ;
tion down in Charleston is acute
at this time, which in <111?? to tin?
fact that Governor Hey ward is |
determined to have the law en- j
forced. Grievous wrongs will be
righted, the friends of the governor
declare, and if there ia no power
by which the city court can convict,
sflch jurisdiction will be given
to other courts in the city.
Charleston ia losing a revenue
amounting to nearly $">(),000 annually
from the operation of the
-dispensary law. With the present
method of doing business, the I
dealers escape all licenses, and the
illegal sales are so heavy that lit
tie trade is left for the dispensaries
which pay a port of their
profits to the city treasury.
"Post Check Currency,"
Cue of the measures now pending
in Congress is that which ptovidea
for what ih known as "Post
Check Currency," which is intend
td to furnish a practical and con
veuient method "fcf sending small
auuia ui money uy mail. 1 he I
"post cheek currency" is in effect,
u greenback in denominations from
25 cents to five dollars, which
passes current like any other jI
money until the holder writes in r. I
space on the back the mime of a
person to whom he wishes it sent
by ii.ail, it then becomes payable i
to the payee only, and on his en- !
doraemeiit is deposited in the bank
and gets back to Washington I
through the usual channels and is !
destroyed as "mutilated currency.'*

Ths P.cit Year In dlstory
To say that 1002 was the best :
year this country has ever ex peri- J
'iii'od, while truthful enough in
the main, does not suggest fully
the enormous strides which the
*Tnitcd Htntes took in the year just
closed, frantically every branch
of ordinary trade and manufacture
| ah owed un increase above the best
and of previous years, and yet this
immense enlargement of output
was not sufficient of itself to satisfy
the.giowinyr, it might be termed
insatiable, demand for all kinds of
materials. In many enses the usual
foviegn outlet for jjrodncts was,
force, pegie^ted by the American
I prodm-ons, who confined 11 ?->r of

Oruhc'n Children.
Too ninny people lmve mislaUcn
ideas hWont an orphanage. Some
seem to think it the name as the
county poor house, but ri^ht thenis
where they make u hi^ mistake. |
For instance, one charitable-mind- '
<1 man will say, "I guess t might j
us well send these brown peas to
some orphanage, for I know I eannot
sell them, and if I should be
nble to sell them, 1 would not yet
h decent price for them." Another
says, "Let us cither send that old
piano to the orphanage, or use it
for kindling tires; it is no good J
now, hut I know the little orphans
will enjoy its tin pan music, and
will never know but what it. is a i
grand, melodious square'" Yet an i
other says, "I always give my old 1
oBt. clothes t?> 11i?^ clem* little orphans,
that is, what 1 do not give
to my cook.''
Do not orphan children have intellect,
refinement ami feeling-, as ;
well as the most wealthy man or:
woman? Does not the orphan
linve an eye for,the beautiful, and ;
a taste for the highest culture as
well as anyone?
Of course, wo dej not mean to j
make heroes and heroines of all
the orphans, nor are they all per
feet by any means, but they are j
I due more consideration than is
sometimes given them.
I The above examples are only
some of the exceptions to the general
rule of unselfish love toward
God's children. There are many, ;
many God-like men and women *
who are really interested in the
education -physical, mental and ;
spiritual of the chilbren of their
one King who is in lleaven, and
may the loving Father of all re- \
ward thein justly and doubly. In
J faot, we, ourselves, have so many
. rich blessings, wo should not stop
J to harp on the injustice and sol i
; fishness of the world, for that only
| tends to make on? bitter and l
scornful, but there is more than
one earnest-mimiod Christian who!
wishes some of the world was very
much otherwise.
One nioro word about orphan*
acres. ninJ >?? #.< ?,1>??-? --- --?' -
, ".|jiiniiii^c in [mnic
ulfti'. It has every ndvnntuge in
education, both manual and mental.
Its school system is carried
on ns if it were some large college.
French, Latin, Greek,German and
Stenogrnpy are taught just as in
college; nil'extensive library is at
hand to be consulted by nny who
dosire; there are the same bright,
happy spirits, the same quarrel*!,
the sau.o love affairs, the same
loving hearts, and last, but not
least, the same sweet religions ox- j
ercises which draw their hearts,
closer together in the realization
of a gracious Fatiier in common.
Let no one ever shun the orphan
on account of its "living on charity,"
no some say, for when Christ j
comes to make up his jewels, "the
last shall be first, and the first
shall be last." Mae E. Downs.

that I In* patient was very low and
that the chances were ten to one

Mr. Gonzales rallied, however and
at 10 o'clock Friday morning it
wa stated that he had rested
fairly well during the night, and
that he was holding his own as
Well as could he expected, C< :isideiing
the grave character of the
wound, hut that the odds wore
sti.l greatly against his recovery.
A number of newspaper men
called at the police station and
asked Col. Tillman for a statement.
This lie refused, stating that
his counsel had advised him to
say nothing concerning the affair.
There was oracticallv no chaiice
in Mr. Gonzales' condition dining
Saturday, though on Sunday tlio
jjjrntifyinj^ niinoiincciui'iit was
made that moreencouraiiin^symptoms
had appeared in ids codilioo

wounded. One of the physicians
stated that if there was no turn
for tin* worse up to Tmsday, Mr.
Gonzales hail an even chance of
recovery.
This was only a temporary ini
proveinent, however, for at 10.150
Sunday ni^ht peritonitis appeared

1 o'clock Monday, when death relieved
