Thompsons Handicap. Col. Henry T. Thompson, of Columbia, S'.nlo utxent for the New York Life Itisuiance Company, colonel of the Second regiment, member of the Columbia polii-e commission uud candidate for adjntant and iiiHpector ueneral to succeed Clen.

I ' w? ......... it >'j it 10 v; > n - /.rn lUilh t'l forts to enforce tin; Sunday lawn in the Capital City. Ah the result of.the aetiv.ty ot the police commission, inspired, it is said, by Col. Thompson, it is now impossible to buy even a cigar in Columbia on .Sunday and there is talk by Bottle of those whose business has been curtailed by the orders of the i commission of inking the matter1 t the courts to compel the com- | tnissioiiers to see to it that the Sunday laws ale enforced impar- ; tially ? that all business and work, xcept that of absolute necessity.' hj forced t o siispend on the first J day of the week. Naturally this dissatisfaction creates speculation 'us to what effect the matter will! have on the candidacy of Col. Thompson for adjutant and inspector general next year, and those who arc in a position to know something of the fueling pver the matter mi Columbia pre. ! diet that lie will ha\e an up-hill! tight to carry the city, which is practically Kichlaud county,, against Col. J. C. Hoyd, of the j First regiment, byjwhom he will lie ! Opposed. So it woliivl sccill that 1 Col. Thompson enters the race tor this office with an unusual hamiicap, for when one asks to he sleeted to a S ate otlh o lie should be in a position to assure the voters that he has strong hopes of flattering endorsement hy his home county. ]3ut perhaps Col. Thompson will rely on the old adage that "a nrouhct is not without honor snve in hi? own country.'' I ?? Talks About the Town. We don't know what work tin* i Village Juiprovemeiit Society Ims in vit'w, t>ul we would like to uee the ladies work up interest in the mutter of planting shade trees, along the streetH of the town Nothing mhls more to the beauty j of h town or the comfort of its citizens in hot weather than goon shade, and Fort Mill needs more of it. The tail season is the best time of tlie year to put out trees, and the sooner the better, so that the dirt may settl" well around the : roots before the sap rises in the ' Spring. With electric lights and cement ; pay* mollis the m .in street of Fort Mill has assumed a decidedly city, like appearance. No longer does one have to grope along through the darkness over sticks and atones ' hut can walk along good and well ligiited street as will bo found in in oh l cities. May the good woi k continue until all the streets of the town have been paved and lighted.

Then there is also three 1). l>'s. hml a veterinary on the name street. We hnve always believed in niviny credit where it is due, so here is n bunch ??t tsowere for the town council. It is not u qinVion that the present council has done more for the improvement of b\ut Mill than any former conn-il did <n one year's tiuie. The streets are in better shape generally and are kept cleaner thnri ever before. The present council is composed chief IV of vounu' men those who are looking forwaid t<> tin* time when the town hue grown t?? a city and tire tint doing things by halves. The town's welfare has been well guarded, its funds liandled and in Vented in a business-like manner, and we offer congratulations to the c tuncil for its excellent work. And another matter. The books of registration are now open and it behooves ?very citizen who iH enti led to vote to trot a certificate to tlmr effect. An election for town officers will be field early Hi January, and, should there lie a change of arlmipistration, it would be a grave mistake to put in a Council that would neglect or drop the good work which the ptesei t pouucil has begun. llegister it |H&can Hird let s elect a set of yoatig biibiuess men who will continue to do things in a business Id v.BSS % " -~.il'-.?.

A Larger jChaingangJ At Mr. Brice-'s prohibition mpet- j ' iii^r ip the coqrt house Monday, | ' siys the New Era, a resoldt on was j adopted askiup that the legislature I be "tnetnorialisjed to p-ovide pin' ishiueut for the violation of thej I liquor laws by service on the chain ' L'aup without the alternative of a j | line, and to attach to the same j I penalties that are provided for the ! : sellinp of the same." If the lepis- j lalure aids favorably on this we 1 may look forward to a preatlv aup- ! | inented chaingang force with the) j prospects of many miles of good j | roads. However, it will be a ruth- } i cr pathetic picture to see Home of j i our esteemed prohibition friends! manipulating the pick and shovel ; on the public highway as a penance for having slaked th ir thirst with blind tiger liquor. But if we are to have prohibition let's huve the j genuine article. Bun a fine tooth i comb through the' county and j catch everything that looks susj suspicious. Judges to be lilectedTt will be of general interest to note that a number of judicial elections will !>< held by the general assembly at its next meeting. According to the records in the office of the secretary of state the elections to be le-ld are to till the positions now held I>y Chief Juslice Pope, .Judges Daubster, Aldric.ii, Purdy, Watts, Gage and ; Klugli. These half dozen elections will 1 enliven the next session to a con- | siderable extent. It is not known whether all of the present judiei- ! ary whose terms ? xpire during the ! year 11)05 will lie candidates for ; re-election. Tln-re have been sug- ; gestions that some of the present members of the bench will retire to private life, and that they have I i :? ? r * timii ipine enough ot iDe worry unci | tribulations of 1 iff on the'beqcli. ?A Question of That. In Gold Hill academy a few days ago, Mr. S. E. Honey, the princiltni. offered a prize to any member j of the Etidlisn Grammar class who could frame a sentence containing I lie word "that" six timed consec! ulively. Oil the following tuurnind Grover Epps presented this sentence and cluiiued the prize; "I think that, that that, that that t hat modi ties is a noun." After having the olaimant parse each "that," the principal declared the sentence dramatically correct, and awarued the prize, lint on declaring the sentence dramatically correct, Mi. lioney made this re inai k: "1 believe Mr. Epps, for all that, that that that that that that, modities is an adjective." Who can make it ei^ht? ? Marriage in Steele Creek. Mr. .1. 13.
