A handful of dispensary opponents met in solemn session in Columbia a few nights ago and ! decided to abolish the dispensary. Among the number in attendance at the meeting we note the name of the distinguished senator from York county, who doubtless repeated the little ranting stunt which so amused the upper house of the legislature last winter. The principal feature of the meet- . ing, however, seems to have been negotiated the morning after * when the names of the self-constituted guardians of the people's morals and welfare appeared in ' The State newspaper. These i powerful politicians and politico-! preachers?who preach almost j everything but Christ crucified? I decided to make an active fight in each county against the dispensary. beginning their crusade, presumably, prior to the meeting | of the Democratic clubs on the 27th Inst. This isn't a matter which should cause fear and I trembling among the friends of the best method of controlling the liquor problem ever born in the brain of man, but the meeting shews that the opponents of the dispensary are bestirring them- | selves and it is perhaps well to remind the friends of the institution that they should attend the club meetings. I We hope that every person, and especially those in the rural districts, who receives a copy of this ; paper will read carefully and consider the ?*i?icle appearing on our front paMKieaded ' 'The Rural Free Crisis."

" 'c?f i P1NEVILLE PEOPLE WOULDN'T AGREE TO VACCINATION. Consequently a Number of Warrants Were Taken Out. Reports from Pineville for the East week say that there has een much talk and indignation among the people of that vicinity over the compulsory vaccination recently inaugurated by the, board of health. Vaccination was deemed advisable on account of the appearance near the town of a number of cases of smallpox, and as a preventive of an epidemic of the loathsome disease. Some of the citizens of the u l. 1 J-- i u>u iiMU[i, v\ uu seenwu to nave more dread of the sore arm incident to vaccination than o*' the disease, entered a protest, while others flatly refused to comply with the compulsory rule. The! result was that the authoritiss took a hand in the matter, and a i number of warrants were issued. The result of this action on the 1 part of the authorities seemed to awaken the less considerate citizens to the perilous stand which they had taken, and all agreed to undergo the "scratching." The excitement in Pineville was due to several cases of smallpox which had appeared in the western section of the township. Among the number who have been attacked by the dis- j ease are Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Bailes, who live near the South | Carolina line, and who had suffered with the disease a week or more before their cases were pronounced smallpox. Many of the neighbors called to see them prior to the diagnosis of their! illness and it was feared that on account of this exposure an epidemic would result. However, I as a large majority of the resi dents of that section have been | successfully vaccinated there is j little fear of further trouble. The disease in the Pineville ' section is of a very mild type, its victims appearing to be afflicted with measles rather than ( small uox. ' ; tx-Senator Love Dead. Hon William B. Love died Tues-: day night at his home near Mc-1 Connelisville of paralysis. Mr. I Love had been in bad health for . some time, having suffered from ' two previous strokes of paralysis, j The interment took place Wed- < nesday afternoon at McConnells- j ville, after funeral services by 11 Rev. J. B. Swann. Mr. Love was a native of this * county, having been born near his late home in Bethesda town- ,. ship near McConnellsville in 18-19. j He was the son of the late A. F. . Love. He was educated in the i common schools of York county. At the beginning of the war he { was but a small boy, but before ; . its close he was enlisted in the t army and saw service in the en- * deavor to resist Sherman's march through the State. In 1870 he I married Miss Susie McCleve.-and * this union was blessed by three ] daughters and a son. His second j wife was Miss Laura Baskin, of Abbeville. i . He first figured in politics in ] 1898 when he was sent hv tli?? i" citizens of York county to repre sent them in the lower house of ' the State legislature. He was , re-elected by a flattering vote in 1894. In 1890 he was elected to J the State senate, succeeding Hon. | I). E. Finley. He performed his duties in an able, efficient and clear cut manner?thus rewarding his constituency for the confidence reposed and the honor bestowed on him. He served two terms as a member of the board of directors of the South Carolina penitentiary. ? Yorkville : New Era.

Was Once an Army Officer, Though : the Fact Was Not Generally Known. I ?An Amusing War-Time Incident. Gold Hill, April 17th, 1906. Editor Times: This leaves us top-side up, but just running along in the old rut. Our neighbors are generally well, I think, and the farmers are just moving up nicely. It is 4 wohaw Mike" and "get up there Rattler," and the mocking birds are getting in their spring notes now, and all seem lovely. And there is a .new boy at Jno. Youn^rblood's, and, of course, Johnnie is stepping high. Well, we have heard of poultry farms and chicken incubatoi-s, but an enterprising Gold Hill lady has in operation a chicken reformatory, and we judge that the biddies are learning what's what about now. Rut sav nothinir about this, now, for this lady's rolling-pin might run against Splinters gourd. And now we will relate an incident of the war, though we may have told the same thing before. It is not generally known that that we held office during the war, but we did, all \ the same,?was corporal for a whole long night?and we will tell how it came about and how we distinguished ourselves while in office, too. One evening in | the winter of '63, while in camp near Morristown, Tenn.our company was called on for a corporal and there being none present, Capt. Allston put the stripes on this High Private. A detail of ten or twelve men was made from the regiment, put in our charge and we were ordered to report at a certain point, some half mile away, and off we marched our squad. And maybe WO folt :i hojul nr lulluv tVion I Gen'l Longstreet about then. On | ar living at the place we found i?ur duty was to help guard a regiment of Yanks that our cavalry had captured. We were laken in charge by a lieutenant, wjr men posted, and the orders were to have Ho arguments or , controversies with our prisoners. Fires were made and we settled i iown for the night. Well, along j in the night it begen to rain. A V ank lying on the opposite side )f the tire from us turned over ^-cursing everybody and every- ( thing, arid observing us hovered 5ver the fire, he asked us what j State we were from. We told | nim and then asked him where lie was from. "Connecticut," says he, and one word brought >n another. He loved to talk j tigger and asked us if we owned i my. We told him yes, a round lundred of the kinky-heads. "Well, what do you with them?" ; le asked. We worked them of i course. "Well, do you ever whip j :hem?" Oh yes, frequently.! "What for?" ?says he. Well sometimes we have a cause, but j /ery often we whipped them; iust for amusement. "Well," he says, "my frent arn't you afrait | /mi will <r? K?119??

From that he :hrew off his blanket, coine to a fitting position on the ground, itaring at us, and says, "Well! ?ou must be one tam fool." And j iust then it occurred to us that i vve had disobeyed orders, and we played mum the remainder of j jur office hours. Splinter. Pleasant Valley.
