Thursday, September 14, 1899.
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.

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.

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

In the general talk that ensue
Senator McLaurin said that Sout

business prosperity very gratifying
to the people of that State* Thos
who are engaged in growing tobac

greatly eucouraged by the result o

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

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.

is the latest advance in baking preparations,
and if you don't use it you should.
It Is Better Than Soda \
because it will make biscuit jus? right
every time. No more yellow spots or
soda taste.
It Is Better Than Baking Powder
because it is half as strong again and
one heaping teaspoonfuj will do the
