Editor Mnrtiti, of tlie Eftsloy ^ ? # II tl. .. jcrogress, sums up as iuiiuwb uie .abominable d*bt shirker with which every community Iihh to fi intend: \Ye imagine that the meanest feeling individual?we won't say juhu next to tlie one who is just f?ettjng oyer a drunk from "fust x" rom liquor?is the .one who goes around day after day dodging his creditors. H,e tees a man on the street whom ',e owes probably a email amount; it may be for 9 store account; rations that he has eaten, jur it may ha for the clothes he is wearuug. or it may be a doctor's .bill, or wood, or fertilisers, or a subscription to his county paper; lie at once has business in an opposite direction. He has no desire to meet the man he owes. 5Iow, my poor deluded friends, is this ricrht? Is it honest? You ^ut -the goods and gave a fair promise, that if accommodated, you would settle by a certain time, lou probably think it very smart to thus beat tbe one who has befriended you?one who has proha bly made a sacrifice in order to jacoommodate you?you, by your act, are not only hurting him financially, hut are making an enemy of him, and worst of all, you are making for yourself an unenviable record. A record that will last as long as you live and .cause the blush of shame to mantle the cheeks of your children after you are dead and gone. So if you are one of this class, go at once, if you owe anything, and give the 'person you owe satisfaction. It may nearly kill you to part with r few dollars to pay it to the one to whom it rightfully belongs, hut in p day or bo you will get over it and (will feel Bo good you will tliink .you are sprouting wings. This thing of not paying your .debts ia all a very pernicious habit, rather an affliction that might be termed "abort memory," and strange to say, it only works one Way; for if anyone ouies you, no ^natter how insignificant an amount, you almost go crazy until they settle with you; but if you owe another, it is altogether a different matter. If approached on the subject you have either left your cash at home or forgotten about the debt. Now friends, let me auggest a remedy, which, if adopted, we will guarantee that your own selfrcjjspect will be enhanced fifty pei cent, and the respect of yom neighbors many folds of thai amount. It is this: In the tirsl place, make no debts, unless necessity forces you to do so; in the next, having made a debt, take t pote of it at the time and do no! rest until it is discharge:!. Simply do unto others as yc would that thev should do untc you. You owe n person mid Ik probaly has a sick child that need* jnedioine, or his wife needs souk jot the comforts of life; they WHil jdsv after day thinking that yot will pay them, finally he has U mortgage his property to procure money that rigtfully, you ahould he the one to procure. He, an honest man is made to suffer while you, a self-conscious scoundrel simply because the law is sncli that justioe cannot reach you, gc ,qu through life miserable,dejected leaving a trail of glooin and sorrow in your >vake. Local Option Bill Passed. Bv a vote of (18 to 81 the hnnat fit representatives Thursday nigh! put itself on record as favoring tlx /original "Brioe Bill." The bil . was introduced by Mr. Toole ol Aiken, aud was ?lie identical bil jprepented by Mfenator Biice ol York last year. The vote last yeai was 49 to B6. the majority beinj in favor of placing the odious hal piill tax on the counties voting ou the dispensary. Perhaps aomi have seen the handwriting on tin ,waU-r-at any rate, there was a de ,cided change in front. The houa< having refused, by a vote of 63 t< ?1, to strike out the enactini |&;?j words, adopted an amiendmen BjayMI which prohibits prohibition conn I,, jties from participating in the sur Bury. Ah the amendment in word- j fd it appjiea to conntwhich i J|Bye ii^?r dud d?Hpe|jBt}rieH ft wrt| ! an to comities which y.ot,e out <fi*pensariea. The liQuee voted do:iyu Afr. iSin^ler^s apiendmjBnt propoe ipg to jet the counties vote on tjie question of high license under the dispensary regulations, and also rejected Capt. Hellers' amendment proposing to strike frojp the law the paragraph which permits dispensaries to ho located outside of incorporated towns iu Horry and Beaufort counties. Governor Hey ward's Pardpn Record. 1 The annual report of Governor Heyward as *o the nqipber of par dons and commutation, granted by him for the year 1904. has been filed with the General Assembly. The constitution does not require that Governor Heyward should give any account of the commutations granted, but he done so. The record shows that there were 4ft pardons granted during the year 1904, and that these 45 pardons set free 53 persons, i. e., in several cases sevetal parties were convicted together and pardoned together. There were 31 commutations of sentence and these 31 commutations set five other persons free. In other vyords 89 people were 1 4 I 1 J ri>rL*.cu uy tlie ^rtiuuiio (lliu L'UlU- \ mutations granted during the year 1904. Much has been snid about granting pardons to those couyicted of inuider of manslaughter. It will be interesting to note thnt of the 89 pardons and commutations granted, 28 individuals were pardoned, or had their sentences com. mutated, or in other words a fraction more than 25 per cent of all the pardons and commutations, were in murder and manslaughter cases. The Hoyt Hayes caae was perhaps the most interesting iu the number. Twi New Stars. The admission of Arizona and Oklanoma will cause a change in i Itu T Tti t tutl Silufna Hour Itu Ilia in ! section of two new stars. There are uow 45 stars arranged in six rows of seven and eight star*. The two new stars cannot be ad. ded to the present arrangement without destroying the symmetry. But there is no arbitrary rule for arrangements in rows. Circles and even star at rangements of the stars have been resorted to in the past. Originally, a stripe as well as a star was added for each new State. But in 1818 the number of States having reached 20, congress reduced the number of stripes to lit, to typefy the original States, and enacted that "on the admission of every new State to the union one star be added to the union of the Hag, and that such addition shall take effect on the Fourth of July next succeeding such admission." Woman Kills Jow Poddlor. Sunday's papers told of a tragedy Saturday at SumervJIe, Dor[ cheater county, in which Mrs. J. ' D. Bivens, wife of State Senator Bivens, shot and killed a Jew peddler named Green berg. Sunday the jury of inquest exonerated the woman, finding a verdict of justiti1 able homicide. It aj pears that Greenberg was arrested at Dor chester a week ago for it suiting 1 Mrs. Bivens, but was released and ^ prosecution dropped on his promise to quit the town. He re turned Saturday night, calling at * the residence of Mrs. Bivens, who raised an alarm, bringing a numi her of neighbors to hpr assistance. The premise* were searched and ' Greenberg was found in an out1 house. He ventured the explaua* tion that he had returned to the * place at the requeat of Mrs. Bivens, ' and the remark enraged the woman 1 who accompanied the party, to i such an extent that she rained her * husband's shotgun which she car1 ried and shot Green berg, killing ' him instantly. Mrs. Biveus * was released on a nominal bond. ' Senator Bivens was in Columbia at the time of the tragedy. With rain, sleet and snow, the weather Monday was decidedly ^ winterish. > LETTER TO W. L.

Our own boys are good enough for us. Mississippi and Alabama should invite over a few more bool wevils to regulate their annual output of cotton.

It has been suggested that the next that springs up in or near Breathhitt Cq., be nau.ed "Shot-down." With Congress hammering the railroads at one end and Atlanta at the other, there ought to be tic difficulty in bringing them tc proper terms. Lazy Chicago husbands are endeavoring to liave married women made eligible as school teachers, Just think what a cinch this would be for Johan Iloch drawing salories from thirty-one wives. Florida orange and Georgia peach growers say they cannot market their crops without a private cai system. We hope the watermelon will not get into such jeopardy as this. A Jackson, Mm*., woman takec the cake in divorces. In suing her husband f??r divorce she claime that alimony of money he won ir a suit for the alienation of hei affections. This woman almosl belongs to the Chadwick class. The railroads say they do nol violate the law,and that we do not interpret it right. As the lawt were written by their attorneys probably they do know more about the way were intended to be inter preted. Criticism has been heard of Mr Bryan for approving and congrat uluting Mr. Roosevelt in his eff oris to regulate railway rates. Whi bless you honey, this is good olc democratic doctrine and the firs bill on the subject was introducec by John H. Reagan of old Texas the very Gibraltar State of Dem ocracy. Pleasant Valley Items.
