SOME NEW LAWS.
*" A
number of important laws
wfcre passed at the recent session
of the General Assembly with
which the public should become
familiar. Four of the new laws
to which referent is made are
as follows:
Disorderly Conduct on Trains.
' Any one who shall in any way
be guilty of riotous or disorderly
conduct, or who shall conduct
himself or herself in any way
to the annoyance of the traveling
* i public, on the train, coach or
car of any common carrier, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemoQ
nnr nrirl lirvrm nnn\rinfir\n
shall be punished by a fine not
exceeding $100 or imprisoned for
not more than 30 days; any one
conducting himself or herself in
the manner- herein described
shall be subject to be ejected
from such car. No one so ejected
shall have cause for action
for such ejectment.
Custody of White Children.
Practices of disposing of the
white children to negroes will be
' stopped in this State under the
new ' law, which makes it a
misdemeanor for any person to
V ; . f dispose of the custody of a white
child to a negro.
It is now unlawful for any pa...
, rent, relative or other white per..
son in this State, having the
control or custody of any white
' child, by right of guardianship,
natural or acquired otherwise, to
dispose of, give or surrender
such white child permanently into
the custody, control, maintenance
or support of a negro; and
any person violating the provisf
ions of this act shall be guilty of
o rv\ic/1n?Y^no?iA?? n v\/l r?
a iiiiouciiirauui , anu uu v.un viLtiuil
jshail be fined or imprisoned in
the discretion of the presiding
judge, but the provisions of the
act shall not be construed so as
to prevent the offices of a negro
in the family of a white person
. as a nurse.
Fertilizer Lawa.
Ar act regulating the weight
of packages of commercial fertilizers
and requiring it to be
. , stamped thereon says that every
package of commercial fertilizer
or fertilizing material, sold or
offered for sale in South Carolina,
shall contain either 100 or 200
pounds each and the weight
thereof plainly printed on such
packages. Violators of the act
are subject to a fine of $10 for
each package so sold or offered
for sale, or imprisonment not
' exceeding 30 days.
Pistol "Toting" Act.
An act of general interest is
the one regulating the sale and
carrying of pistols. The law
goes into effect July 1, and
thereafter it shall be unlawful
for any one to carry about the
person, whether concealed or
not, any pistol less than 20 inches
long and three pounds in weight,
and it shall be unlawful to
manufacture, sell or offer for
i ? \ ?j. i?^ ?
at*ic, lease ur rent, uiirtec, exchange
or transport for sale into
the State, a pistol of less length
and weight. Violation of this
act is to be punished by a fine
not more than $100 or imprisonment
for not more than 30 days;
ana in case of a sale by a person,
firm or corporation, the sum
of $100 shall he forfeited to and
for the use of the school fund of
the county wherein the violation
takes place, to be recovered as
other fines and forfeitures; but
the act shall not apply to peace
officers in the actual discharge
of their duties, or to carrying or
keeping of pistols by persons
while on their own premises. In
case it shall appear to the satisfaction
of the presiding judge or
magistrate before whom such
offense is tried that the defendant
had good reason to fear
injury to his person or property,
and carried said weapon to protect
himself or property, he may
in his discretion suspend sentence.
Speaking of the Best Town.
[Contributed.]
Anent the discussion as to
which is the best town in South
Carolina, Fort Mill rises to make
a remark or two. No one claims
that Fort Mill is the best town
in the State, but there are scores
of people here who know that it
is a very much better town than
some of its contemporaries which
have recently laid claim to the
distinction. One thing which
makes Fort Mill a good town is
the predominating proportion of
first-class people who are proud
to call the town home. Of course
there are some trifling, shiftless
people in Fort Mill, just as there
are in other towns; some vagabonds,
both white and black,
. who should be on the chaingang
since they refuse to produce
their own livelihood ?but fortu
nately they are in the minority,
otherwise the town would have
to pro out of business. Here we
have a great many things which
oJk ^ ^ '
anuuiu uc atUWUVC W 1116 outsider,
not the least of which is the
splendid school presided over by a
first-class educator. Within a
few months the school will be in
its new and commodious brick
building. Then better work
than ever will be done. There
are three Protestant churches
here, each presided over by a j
strong and active ministei
Sometimes the people cuss the
town government, but it is not so
bad that it might not be worse?
which is encouraging. Fort Mill
has much to commend it to outsider
in the fact that its women
don't gamble at bridge whist or
otherwise?which is worth remembering.
The town has as
good stores as any place this
size in America and the merchants
are not trying to get rich
on any one sale. Everybody
agrees that Fort Mill has the best
drinking water in the world.
These are some of the many
reasons why Fort Mill is a good
town, but if there is doubt in
the mind of the outsider who is
looking for a desirable place to
locate the best thing for him to
do is to come here and see for
himself.
Only One Out-of-State Encampment.
Owing to the shortage of the
fori nro 1 o 11 /-\f f .? ?
ixvvtv&ui (Uiviuirnt KtL 1 U I iur> 1UI
the encampments of the South
Carolina National Guard, only
lone of the State's three regii
ments will be sent to Chickai
mauga this year. This will be
j the Third regiment, composed of
companies in the low-country.
The encampment will be held
July 15 to 25, inclusive.
The other two regiments, the
First from the Piedmont counties,
and the Second from the central
portion of the State, will go into
camp at or near such cities
which offer the best inducements
and which will be most accessible
to the various companies composing
the two organizations.
The two commands will likely go
into camp at different places and
a week apart.
The first of several rifle shoots
to be held at various points over
the State for the purpose of
choosing teams of eight men
from each company for the
general shoot at Charleston,
where the contest will determine
the State's team at Camp Perry
next August, will be held at
Yorkville, April 25 to 30, inclusive.
The companies competing
at Yorkville will be those
from Fort Mill, Yorkville, Rock
Hill and Cornwell. The other
shooting points will be selected
later. 1

Shooting in Rock Hill.
In a quarrel which occurred in
Rock Hill Saturday evening at
7 o'clock, S. H. White, a printer,
shot M. Simes, an insurance
agent, working for a Georgetown
concern. Both were painfully,
and Simes seriously, but not
fatally, wounded. The men are
close neighbors, and it is understood
the matter was on account
of their children, over which, it
is stated, there were words some
days since.
Simes had just gotten up from
the supper table and started uptown
and met White entering his
gate. There were no witnesses
and the details cannot yet be
learned. Two shots were fired
by White, one of which struck
Simes in the region of the groin,
and just missed cutting a large
artery, glancing out from the hip
bone. White was cut in the
breast, the knife glancing from
the breast bone and inflicting a
painful, but not serious, wound.
As a special officer of the citv.
White was legally armed.

Nearly every tiling in the universe '
is beautiful. The stars at night, the
clouds, the sloping hillsides, or the far <
stretches of low-lying plain; the water
courses and the grasses and even the
rank growths of weeds in the moist
places; the sunsets and the flashes of
lightning during the storm?there is
beauty in everything, it seems. But
in all the province of God there is
nothing comparable with blossoms at
this season of the year.
In a sense, it is a pity that they are
so numerous. If there were only one
flowering tree in all the world, it would
be more appreciated. Then we should
behold annual migrations to that part
of the earth where the tree blossomed.
We would find that men would make
every sacrifice to behold it* The newspapers
and magazines would have their
correspondents and artists on the ground
weeks in advance of the blooming to
chronicle the first faint budding. The
moment a bit of color appeared, the
news would be flashed over the world.
People would make the pilgrimage to
behold the beauty of the flowering
shrub and talk about it the rest of their
lives. Then, indeed, would the beauty
of the blossoms be appreciated.
But, since there are blooms everywhere,
gorgeous clusters of them in
nearly every yard, banks of them in
the woods and orchards, vast expanses
of country to be seen in flower at one
glance?since there are so many blossoms,
people become accustomed to i
them and scarcely stop to meditate
upon the glories thus wrought in the
springtime.
Man is a strange contradiction. He
passes over the most beautiful things
on earth and tries to solve the unknowable.
He preaches about life and
death, and fights his fellow-man who
does not accept his guess as to eternity.
He quarrels with his follows about the
shape and form of heaven, and goes to
war because other people will not use
the methods he claims to be infallible
in reaching a future reward. He
writes books to prove the efficiency of
a certain symbol known as baptism,
and quarrels with others as to the mode
of adopting the symbol. He imitates
nature upon a canvas and pays a price
to behold the imitation, while without
his door is the more beautiful original.
He makes an image in marble and
worships it when the more perfect
mold, warm with life and colored by
the delicate brushes of Almighty God,
sits beneath his roof. He thinks he
can understand the mysteries of that
which is to come hereafter, but utterly
fails to solve the problem of these
myriad blooms about him.
Take a single bloom and look at it.
Study the delicate fabric of the parts.
Behold the perfect blending of the
color, how it vanishes into shade after
shade or hue after hue. Try to follow
the faint streak of pink for instance,
and ascertain if you can exactly
where it terminates. How perfectly
the petals are formed. How gracefully
each part is shaped. With what
delicacy it is perfumed. Understand
these things, if you can.
Where did it come from? It grew,
you say. What does that mean? It
came from the bud, of course, but
what is a bud? Oh, you understand
the circulation of the sap of the plant,
you say. Very well. But take a particle
of that sap and see if there is pigment
in it. Where, than, did the
coloring come from?and how? From
the sunshine? But why does not the
same sunshine put the same color into
bloom you see? From the earth? Then
why does not the bloom of a peach
tree resemble that of a poppy? It is
natural, you state, that these blossoms
should be as they are; they could
not be otherwise and be the particular
blossoms you are beholding. Meaningless
again.
No; there is no way of understanding
these blossoms, nor how they were
made. But it is not necessary; it was
not intended that we should understand
them, perhaps. Our enjoyment
of them ought not to depend upon our |
understanding them. They are here? |
i that is quite enough. They are j
beautiful?beautiful beyond compare.
Their fragrance is inspiring. Their
purity ought to purify the world.
Their color is that of joy. They quiver
in the spring breezes with delight.
They glorify the God who made them, j
Behold the blossoms! Millions and millions
of them everywhere! A boundless
wreath of fragrant love placed upon
the brow of the earth; festoons of
gladness fluttering in the winds; a
mantle of softened color hung upon the
branches of the trees?and all to be enjoyed
without effort and without price.
