Thursday, Nov. 12, 1903 ' Gorman's victory in Maryland last week I; did not do a thing to the presidential as- 4 pirations of Willie Hearst. * t * * j The statement is made that all the blind ^ tigers in Columbia were closed up tight a during fair week. If they can be clos- c ed up for a week, why can't they be put ? out of business for all time ? * * * How do all these darkies live who hang around our streets without means of sup- n port ? There is but one answer to the a question: their support comes through ]j the back door of the white peoples' q houses. q *** E We see that some Hearst clubs are to v , be organized in this State. We hope the newspapers published in the towns where such clubs are formed?if any materialize ^ ?will print the names of the officers, j, T^>t. TiR spe what manner of men these are jn who want Willie Hearst for president. th * * # ra We see by one of our exchanges that a p3 member of the board of the directors of m the State dispensary was robbed of a a diamond pin by pickpockets in Columbia jj( during fair week. The job only pays $400 a year, yet they wear diamonds! No al wonder there are so many applicants for ^ v h the position. al *** hi The Newberry Observer says the State board of control refused to remove the \f.- k dispensary from Saluda, just as it predicted. This newspaper expressed the same opinion before the hearing was held, and a is not at all surprised at the result. The ^ system seems to be "wisely" fixed upon ^ ns, to quote some men and newspapers. st * * * i,j Willis Woods, a white man, was sent -p to jail last week by Judge R. 0. Purdy, rt who was presiding. Woods was a wit- m ness in a murder trial, and it was clear to the Judge that his testimony was not true. Therefore he directed the sheriff to arrest him on the charge of perjury. ? There is lots of lying done by witnesses, and we ought to have more Judges like Kr. Purdy. Justice would be more apt to ai be administered in the court house if all witnesses knew they were liable to arrest if they didn't tell a straight tale. There is already talk of several gentle- t0 men wanting ^Railroad Commissioner Garris's job, and it is likely that there will be a number of candidates against 11 him in the primary next summer. However. they might as well save the time And expense of making the race, for Mr. fle Garris has made too good an official for the people to dispense with his services yet awhile. He is one of the most compe- ge ) \ tent men we have ever had as chairman ^1 of the board, and he is always busy in the raj interest of his constituents. If the legie- e(* Jatnre would only clothe the commission with more power, the results of his good work would be more apparent. As it is trc now, in many instances he can only re- no commend. Still, his record of duty well done is one that any man might be very fel proud of. tiri * sir hv * * CUI As will be seen, we publish elsewhere ^ in this issue a stenographic report of Th Conference held last Sunday in the C., Methodist church here. A report shows that of the church members some of the piales are not as regular in attendance at worshio on Sundays as they should be, ^ and the pastor intimates mildly that there is a doubt as to whether he shall pa( meet them in heaven unless they do bet- ? *ia ter. But he is apparently oblivious of " the fact that many males who do not st0 attend church regularly, and some not at J311 all, still expect to go to heaven, because, int in the case of the married, they are ?V( I161 church goers by marriage, as their wives ^ attend church regularly and they are not aSr averse to those good women having their m0 [ill proxies. The others delegate their salvation to good relations. It certainly "would be a great surprise and much in- bh convenience to the publisher of this pa- of per if any subscriber, a member of the ^ Church, did not go to heaven, and died in m< arrears to the paper; it would necessitate 1 a long trip to a tropical climate to collect hu the bill, whereas it is only in heaven'a * that many a publisher of a paper will get tb!

Thinking to drive ^ home a moral lesson, the father answered: re "Papa gets a gray hair every time his L( little boy is naughty."

A forty-ton vessel, the Vivid, of Fortune Bay, Newfoundland, recently escaped by a narrow margin from being drawn to the bottom of the sea by a giant squid says a northern explorer. The vessel was off Cape St. Mary's when the lookout thought he discovered amammoth lump of ambergris floating at a distance of 150 yards. "When the vessel approached sufficiently near to the supposed ambergris Joseph Ellis, whose duty it was to use the gaff, struck at the floating object. In the twinkling of an eye the-still thing drift ing idly on the waters became a demon furious with life thrashing, grappling, squirming, feeling for everything within its reach. Great clouds of inky stuff dyed the water. A monstrous beak pecked at the Vivid's oaken side. Two giant eyes focused on the deck seeking something to seize. Instead of ambergris Ellis had j struck a devilfish. Out of the depths arose a bewildering array of tentacles, twisting and crawling all over the smack. They fastened on the bulwarks and squirmed inboard. They felt their way around the masts and up the flattened sails. All the while the ponderous beak of this demon thing of the deep was pounding at the ship, eager to sink it. The Vivid lay on the tumbling seas like a dead thing, with the octopus madly trying to drag it down iuto the depths. "Knives and axes, there!" fairly screamed the captain to the men, who stood stupefied on deck. As if to meet the coming battle to the death, the devilfish seized the masts in a { firm <rrm TritVi tirr? nf its stoutest tentacles. ! "* "" &* *V 1 Then it tried to sink to the bottom of the i sea, bent on dragging the schooner with it. Round ana round it wrapped its, feelers about the spars, sending up fresh ones to aid those that had already taken hold. Slowly the sturdy Vivid began to yield to the mighty arms that reached up out of the waves. Over and over she bent. The big body that thrashed in the water fought more and more madly to tilt over the boat till she capsized. Just then the monster threw up more of its tentacles and in a second Moulton, the captain, Ellis and a sailor named Jeans were held fast by the powerful ! arms. Another sailor had fortunately | ONE THOUSA $1000 apo! TO SMOl Upmann's High < This Offer Holds Goo the 25th day of De Further Information W. G. HOI Upmann's Extra 5s. TJpmann's Little Havanas.

With difficulty the Vivid made port.for there was a whole in her side, made by the beak of the squid, while her masts and sails were scarred and torn by the giant arms which had ail but pulled her down to the depths. DOESN'T RESPECT OLD AGE. It's shameful when youth fails to show proper respect for old" age, but just the contrary in the case of Dr. King's NewLife Pills.

"Because de paper says der are thousands of dollars dropped in Wall street every day." He was Mr. Hockey. At midnight recently a policeman found a man lying on the grass under a tree in a park, and"he aroused him. "Come, mister, no one can sleep here." "But I have a good excuse," replied the man. "What is it?" "See that house over there ? Well, please to do me the favor to go and ring the bell and ask if William Dockey is at home." The officer went to the house, ascended, the steps and rang the bell. A head was thrust out of an open window and a female voice demanded: "Now, who is there?" "Madam," replied the officer, "Is William Dockey at home?" "No, sir, and I don^t expect him until daylight!" snapped the woman, and at the same moment a bowlful of water descended on the officer's head and half drowned him. "Well," said the man on the grass, as the dripping officer came up, "you see how it is, don't you? I'm Dockey. That's Mrs. Dockey." " "I think I see, remarked the officer.
