A tiffin ronrlinff VAU? ? ? mmin^ v/i iiic e n x "i r\ papers dispels the notion that there was such a tiling as the ''silent vote." Wouldn't it huve been a joke on the insurance compauies, if Col. | Bryan hud been elected in 1896 or J900, in spite of liieir "barrel." Yon may have observed that t))e dispatches did not quote what the President said to the pilot of the Ksparta, immediately after the collision. While the judges of the Flail of fame were trying so hard to decide who should have a niche, strange none of them thought of Patrick Crowe. The announcement that eightteen women are hank cashiers in Iowa is a little surprising; supposing that they would prefer being ''tellers." When yon start a story about a I town boing "in the throes" of something or other, you have to look twice to see whether the town is in Russia or Kansas. Another Oregon congressman has been sentenced to the peniten|B| itentiary. Oregon seems likely to ^|B be more prominently represented in the peuitentiury than iu congress. ^ It is going to u.nke a 6overe draft on Russia's supply of free speech when the Finns and Poles /start in to unload their thoughts that have been surpressed for years. Depositors in that defunct Pittsburg bank nay not get any of their money back, but they are certain to secure a vast amount of very interesting side light on Penusylyania politics. From a careful reading of the President's speeches, it is supposed thut he is the staunch and 1 unchangeable friend of everybody, without regnrd to race, color, or previous condition ot servitude. The expenses of the Equitable for the third quarter of the pres- 1 ent year were $829,913 lower than ' for the corresponding quarter of 1904. A few showings like that 1 will remove the doubt as to whether Mr Paul Mortou c#n earn hia $80,000 salary. The Southern Cotton Association has issued a statement com- ' piled from the reports of 17,000 1 /correspondents throughout the cot- ' ton belt, estimating the present 1 crop at 9,144,314 bales. The state- 1 ment also estimatus that tfl.3 per ' pent of the crop has been picked 1 and that 54.7 per cent ginned ' October 31. ' One of the most important orders ever issued to the constabulary force was made public Thgrs- i lay by Chit-f Constable Hammet. ] The circular puts about thirty 1 beverages and patent jnedicines i out of business in this State unless < they are sold on prescription, and ciders aro also put on the tubooed list.

This thing oF hazng is about the biggest piece of fool work we know cf, and if that mob out in Nevada is given a taste of the law, there will doubtles be a decrease in the number and nature of huzings in that institution hereafter, Of course there are no such things as gossips around a small t >wn like Fort Mill, and for fear that one might pass through unobserved, we print the following description as given by an exchange: "A gossip is n humming bird with eagle wings and a voice like a fog horti. It can be hoard from Dan to Beershebu and has caused more trouble than all the ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, coyotes, grasshoppers, chinch bugs,ratilesuukos, sharks, sore toes, cyclones, earthquakes, blizzards, small pox, yellow fever, gout and indigestion that this great United States has known or will know when the universe shuts up ahop and begins the final invoice." Thirty "Prohibition11 Drunks. We were somewhat surprised to rond the following paragraphs in the last issue of the YorkvilloXew Era; ".The jug trade is doing nicely, thank you." "About 30 nrrosts were ipnde circus duy for druiikenncK. Assuming that there were other drunks who eluded the police, and then others still who drank only moderately, the question is, how did they manage to get so much liquor in a prohibition town." Perhaps, brother, there was not "so much," after all. This "prohibition" lieker do sometimes have n stunniii' effect. To Change Pistol Law. Representative McFadden, of Richland county, will, according to the Columbia Record, at the next session of the legislature call for the consideration of a very important amendment of the pistol law of this state. The amendment was introduced by its title last year, but on account of the fact that it was near the end of the session wns continued. Tho bill makes it necessary for every dealer in firoarms to keep a record of the pistols sold. The ilealer must also make a record of the purchaser of the weapon with a description of him or her, as the case may bo, and the purchaser must not transfer the weapon to some one else without notifying the dealer from whom the purchase was made. Mr. McFadden snys that while the amendment would do away with tho Cooper law, which rei? i?? jiiii re ci ^jioiui iu ui: ill lt"NMl I Wfll * ty incites in length, he believes that it would put a stop to many dealers selling pistols of illegal length. The dealer would he required to take out a regular license and be under a heave bond for the performance of the feature of the law. The Season to Pay Up. The season is now at hand when every person who owes for a newspaper should pay up without waiting to bo asked "to do so. There are always a few subscribers who object to being dunned for the little amount they owe, and the way for them to avoid being dunned is to pay up before the dunning senson arrivos. It is not a pleasure with the publisher of this paper to dun his delinquent sub? soribers, but when it is apparent a dun is actunlly necessary, we invariably brace up qpd do so. We 1 have quite a number of delinquent ' subscribers on our books and hope that all who can possibly do so will come in nt once and settle. Save the publisher the unpleasantness of presenting a dun, and yourself the humiliation of being Juuued. \ iL ? ' Polygamy as It Is. The following incident, according to the Spartanburg .Journal, is an actual fno*, though on the surface it appears unbelievable: A certain unmarried woman was ill and was thought to be about to oie. ner mends, fearing For the | fate of an unmarrit-d woman in the hereafter, went hurriedly to a man of their acquaintance, a bachelor, requesting him to be sealed to her immediately. Ho consented, being willing to have lier.in the life to come. But the unexpected happened, and 'he young woman was restored to health. The young man to whom she had been sealed continued to live as he had done, and she lived at her home as a single woman. Sometime after, the woman met and married a man of her faith and lives with him and her children today. In the meantime the man died to whom she hud sealed for eterpity bpt pot for time. He was a man of wealth, and on the strength of the sealing, the woman, the wife for time of another man, sued for the former's property in the Utah courts ?and got it. It is impossible to grasp the full import of the whole Mormon situation. Its unwholesomeness, its repulsivenoss and its geyerul degradation in its very protection. The who)e story cannot be told and insinuations seem vulgar. And what makes it so intricate, so almost hopeless, that individuality, the mass of Mormon people, are so admirable, so sincere and so oarnest.

And yet the women, who constitute the only individuality to he found in all Monnonisin, have not been taken into consideration in their religion, except as tliey can assist in building up the glory of their husbands. The Dispensary Situation. Thirteen counties have held elections within the past year under the provisions of the Brice law, and in all but one the dispensary was voted out by decisive majorities. Florence was tho only county to rotniu tho dispensary, and this was by the small majority of 7-1 votes. As a review of the elections held thus far, tho following figures will prove an interesting study: Against For Cherokee 2 2~>1 249 Pickens 707 222 Union 761 412 Newberry 808 248 Marion 1 149 281 York 72-") 131 Lancaster., 976 126 Florence 638 706 Darlington.. 680 271 Horry 822 214 Oconee (partial)... 560 80 Totals 9,081 2,156 Flections will be hold in other counties on the following dates: Greenville and Spartanburg, Nov. 14ih; Anderson, Nov. 25th; Edgefield, Dec. 7th; Fairfield, Dec. 12th.

SON LOST MOTHER "Consumption runs in our family, ami through it I lost my mother," writes 15. B. Reid, of Harmony. Me. "For the jKist live years, however, on the slightest sign of u Cough or Cold, 1 have taken Dr. King's Now Discovery for Consumption, which has saved me from serious lung trouble."

The southern and northern troops were both attempting to reach an eminence the position of which practice Hy derided the battle, and the southern column was blocked by a balky mule just long enough to enable the northern troops to gain the eminence, so that a balky mule really decided the battle.?Ex. MAN'S U1 REASONABLENESS is often as great us woman's. But Thos. 8. Austin, Mgr of the "Republican," o# Leavenworth, Ind., was not unreasonable, when ho refused to allow tho doctors to operate ou his wife, for fenuile trouble. "Instead," he says, "we concluded to try Eleutrio Bitters. My wife wus then ro sick, she could hardly leave her bed. and five [ft] physicians had failed to relieve her. After taking Electric Bitters, sho was perfectly cured and can now i>crforni all her household duties." Guaranteed by W. B. Ardrey, druggist, price ?0c. ihm'H ii Hi .. Inter-State Commerce a Hindrance tc Prohibition. Prom different teetions of tli* State tlie authorities at Columbia nre receiving inquiries regarding the frequent visits of agents foi whiskey houses in othor states. Some believe that taking order* for whiskey in a prohibition com ty is a violation of the law ant! should be stopped. That such is not the case is proven by the following letter which was sent some time ago by Assistant Attorney General Townsynd to a Mr, Pant, of Whitniire, \v!ii) sought information as to the law along this line: "Dear Sir: Answering your letter of the 28th, I beg to my that the State cannot prohibit drummers or salesmen from soliciting | orders in this State for the sale of liquor by non-residents in another State to be shipped into this State for delivery, as such transaction is purely one of interstate commerce over which this State has r.o control. The sale in such case is not complete until the delivery the goods and the State has no jri^ht to seize intoxicating liquors so sold until after their arrival in the State and delivered to the consignee or purchaser, at which time only they may became to the State law; and are then liable to seizure if held by the consignee for other than his personal use." Thus it is thai the law of prohibition fails. While a horde of constables may he placed in a county to prevent its citizens from selling whiskey, when the nonresident whiskey dealer comes around the constable is compelled by the interstate commerce law to stand aside and allow the sale of liquor to rock smoothly along. Not only this, but, according to Mr. Townsend'a opinion hh expressed above, interstate commerce is a protection to the blind tiger. No longer docs the tiger fear the seizure of his goods from a transportation company or their offices but is given time and opportunity to lie in hiding and in the absence of tho officers, pay the charges. tnke liiH whiskey uud continue to dispense it. ^ To Face the Court.
