The State Board of Control, at its meeting iast week, decided to abolish the abominable beer dispensaries, We are pleased to commend thi&action on the part of the board, ^especially aa their record siuce going into office, has been along the line of increasing the sale of intoxicants. The beer dispensaries were fully as bad or worse than the o\d barrooms, and we are pleased that they are to go. The order goes into effect November 1st. * * It is said that a resolution will be introduced at the next session of congress, withdrawing the participation of the United States in the Paris Exposition, on account of the Dreyfus trial and conyiction. A very foolish proceeding, but one we might well expect from the members of congress. * * * The prevalence of crime in our country, and the unanimity with which our best people, including judges on the bench aud other court officials, sign a petition for the pardon of a criminal, makes one believe that we are in a deplorable condition. It is one of the easiest things imaginable to get a strong petition for the pardon of almost any criminal, no matter what crime he has committed. * * * Let us build au oil mill. One man in town will take half the stock. Can't the balance of our business men raise the other half? These mills are all paying handsome dividends wherever they have been \ built. * * *' A Sunshine Society has been formed at Fairfax. The object is to make people happy. Whatever will cheer the heart, drive away frowns, dry tears and make for peace instead of strife, these are the objects of the new organization Its mauner of working is to pass along its good things. If one has an interesting book or paper, speak of it at the society meetiugs or psss it along as a loan or gift to some other, who otherwise might not see it?Fairfax Enterprise. A very laudable purpose, and one that does credit to the organizers of the society. We would only remind the members, however, that they have taken a big contract. Would that we would had more such societies. / * * * A cotton seed oil mill can be built for $25,000, and Gen. Bamberg will subscribe half the stock. It does * seem that we ought to be able to raise the other half. The enterprise will pay, and pay well. A canvass will be commenced this week, and every young inau who wants to help the town and himself ought to take every dollar's worth of stock he can afford. The young men of Bamberg must not wait for our older citizens to do it ail. We would be glad to see half the capital stock subscribed solely by our young business men, -And they can do it if they will. We expect to take even more stock than we can afford, and if all our younger men will do their part the full capital stock cau be easily raised. * * \ * We want it distinctly understood that we are not working for glory. Week after week we receive articles that are of purely a personal nature, with the request that we insert them in our columns. All personal notices of every kind, obituaries, tributes oi respect, etc., are charged for as regular advertising. Our price for all such is one cent per word, and we would be glad if the public would remember this. We nvp frvincr fr make an honest living, and we can not afford topriutsuch mattersfree Some of these notices are sent in b} ^persons who do not even subscribe for our paper. Matters of news w( are always glad to have, but \vhen il comes to extolling the virtues oi some dear departed, then we mus1 have pay for it. * * * Next week we will give some facts and figures in regard to waterworks and electric lights, to be owned and .operated by the city. We feel sure that the figures cannot be successfully contradicted, and that they are sufficient to convince any business man that it would be the best kind of economy to build the plant. ? If a town is not prosperous the Z, people who live in it are not going to be prosperous. Remember this when you are aske 1 to subscribe to the capital stock of the cotton seed gj; i.'' oil mill. This enterprise will help the town, and whatever benefits the city will help you. We must get out of the rut if we ever expect to dc anything. * * * Dreyfus can console himself witl: the rellection that he has had mor< free advertising than any man in tin last century. * * * " * " 1 it is reauy aoromsning now sunn of the small inland South Oarolini towns pay more for cotton thai Charleston. Won't somebody pleas explain ? * -* Senator M cL.au rin is quoted a telling the president that he is in clined to believe the people of Soutl Carolina favor expansion. Well, h was never more mistaken in his lift We incline to think, however, tha he was only patting McKinley oi the back. * * * We see by the daily* papers tha Comptroller ueneral Derham i making a last and noble effort t distribute the dispensary schoo fund. This fund now amounts t< something like $65,000. We sincere ly hope th it Bamberg county wil get something out of this distribu tion, as her schools have never ye received one cent from the dispen sary fund. No Sunday Exenrsion.

Washington, Sept. 12.?Special Senator McLaurin had an interview with the President to-day in behal of two South Carolina soldiers He urged the promotion of Lieut Marcus B. Stokes, 9th infantry, regu lars, to a higher rank. Lieut Stokes is now militiary collector o the port of Santiago, and he i strongly recommended for promotio] by his superior officers. Col. James Tillman accompaniei Senator McLaurin, and was present ed to the President as a desiiabl man for a commission in the vol tin teer service. In the general talk that ensue Senator McLaurin said that Sout Carolina was enjoying an era ot business prosperity very gratifying to the people of that State* Thos who are engaged in growing tobac co and general manufactures ar greatly eucouraged by the result o their labors, and cotton manufactu ring is expanding to au immens and profitable degree. He sai similiar conditions exist in contigu ous States, including North Care i - r\ l n una., ueorgia auu riunuu. The Senator said it was difficul ' to siz? up public sentiment on tb present Philippine policy of th ; Administration, owing to the equr ; division of opinion on that subjec He is inclined to believe that majority of the people of the Pa 1 metto State favor expansion. Would Hang Drunkards. A man of Spartanburg is goin to run for senator on the platfon of temperance reform by hangin every man who gets drunk the sec t ond time. He will excuse the firs > drunk, but on the second the gam [ is up. It goes without saying thn ' the platform is too warm to accou: c modate many of our good Blu i .Ridge Mountain friends. The Spartanburg corresponden of the News and Courier says: L, Carson, president of the Morga 5 Iron Works, offers a sensible pla 5 to introduce broad-tired vehicles ii] [ to the State.

Happenings Near the Mountains. Crotwell, SS, C., Sept. 7.?This j section was the scene of the most ( mysterious murder which has ever come under the observation of the writer. A few days ago a headless body was found in the North T iger t river, a short distance from t he ; McKinney bridge. By means of > the clothing the body has been identified as that of young Ed Hayes, of this section, who has been missing since the 8th of Aug. 2 After thorough investigation the x jury of inquest fixed the crime on James Sudduth, a young married 1 - ^ 1. ? .1 U f/\ 4-K rAii f Iliail W11U IlctU UCCI1 licaiw lumiriucii R the life of Hayes, Hayes having been credited with calling Mrs. Sndduth a liar, on account of some s report. J Since the disappearance of Haves. j Sndduth has been quite ill, and lit 11 is now in the Greenville jail awaite ing his trial. Luther McKiuney stated before t the jury that 011 last Wednesday he noticed his dogs scenting in the cant 11 brake, and upon closer observation discovered them to be eating that which proved fo be a human head, t Later a searching party found a s man's limb protruding from tht 0 river bank near where the head was . seen. The body was submerged in the edge of the river, the stub 0f 0 the ueck up stream, with the body - on its back. 1 The clothes were carried to Mrs. Hayes, who recognized them as those worn by her husband on the 8th of August, the day she last saw him. " The grave-digger, who was evidently the murderer himself, dropped his shovel in the cane brake, a few feet from the grave of his victim. Postmortem examination proved 7 that Hayes had been shot through t the back with a 38 calibre bullet, ? which passed through the liver and a lodged in the breast. e Hayes was last seen at Suddutli's y house, and on the night of the 8th I Sudduth, according to severa r witnesses, made statements to th< effect that he had shot Hayes auc Hayes would not bother any on< else. Sudduth's illness prevents hii being interviewed. Both men an about 23 years old, Hayes leaves j II wife and two small children. On the evening of July 30, accord J" ing to promise, Magistrate Gullicl met Mr.W. H. Neves, and Miss Bessi' [1' Williams on Tiger river bridge, a:.< there united them in the holy bond e of matrimony, Magistrate Gullick' * son being preseut. Thev all agreec to keep it a secret for one month Prof, Neves is 1 he son of B. F. Neves a leading citizen of Tigerville, am P he has won for his wife a mos charming girl. The writer had tb pleasure of being in Tigerville oi f the day that the secret of the happ; u young, couple was revealed. W e extend congratulations, though lat a they may be. J. A. H. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of whicl e Mr. John Oliver, of Philadelphia was the subject, is narrated by hie I as follows: "I was in a most dread ful condition. My skin was almo? yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated - pain continually in back and sides r no appetite ? gradually growing e weaker day by day. Three physi - cians had given me up. Fortunately a friend advised trying 'Electric Bit , ters;' and to my great joy and snr r' prise, the first bottle made a deci , ded improxement. I continued theji use for three weeks, and am now a 5 well man. I know they saved mj life, and robbed the grave of an other victim." No one should fai to try them.

Tillman and a brotber-int} law of Judge Buchanan, has been appointed ih his stead, ? We do not j know anything at all of Mr, Tillman; he may be a very good steno e grapherand all that; but Judgt Buchanan is doing himself hurl when he Jays himself open to tin j charge of nepotism by appointing i k member of his family to fill the ou ? ly position in his gift.

The Largest Man. )_ It is likely the largest man knowi in recent times was the late Miles Harden, of Henderson countv. Tenn. A ' ' Pie was born in Northampton couu '? ty, N C., in 1799, and died neai ' Lexington, Tenn., in 1S57. His height was seven feet six inches, and .a his weight over 1,000 pounds. It: 1839 his coat was buttoned arouni three men, each weighing over 20( pounds, and they walked arounc the public square at Leixngton ? Tenn. In 1S50 it required thir n | teen and one-half yards of clot 1 ?, one yard wide to make him a coat '' I His coffin was eight feet long, thiij tv-five inches deep, thirty-two inie cites across the breast, eighteen inlt ches across the head, anu fourteen inches across the feet. It tool e twenty-four yards of black velvet tc cover it. His hat measured twentyt seven inches around the crown, and f is now in posession of the State ' Historical Society at Nashville. This modern Goliath was twice married, and he became the fathei of eleven children. In religion lie (* # ^ (r was a pronounced Baptist.
