Little Meeting, Bij Undertaking.
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.

who receives a copy of this ;
paper will read carefully and consider
the ?*i?icle appearing on our

apparent that the Federal government

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 :

SPLINTER REMINISCENT.
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

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

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 |

lim we had never heard of the
ilace and asked him if it was {
ip in Connecticut. 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.

a few days ago a number of
scales of a big carp which Mr.
L. S. Nivens had captured in a
basket. The scales were about
the size of a silver quarter. Mr.
Sutton did not see the fish
weighed, but, judging from the
size of the scales, thought it
would reach well up in the teens.
