An interesting opinion has been filed in the supreme court by the chief justice who affirmed the decision of the circuit court in the cases of J. C. Harrigal and ? John Matheny vs. the City of Aiken. These were separate cases but were so similar in character that they were heard together. Both of the men had dairies which were located on the bank of a stream. Into this stream the sewers of Aiken emptied and the dairymen brought suit against the city. The lower court, however, dismissed the case and now the supreme court has upheld that decision.

Beneath a canopy of lace, over which sprays of ivy in vivid green trailed its graceful length, Mr. J. L. Karesh was wedded last evening to Miss Mamie Ellison, both of the contracting parties being of this city. The ceremony was performed at Berith Shalom Synagogue by Rabbi J. J. Simonhoff, according to the ancient Hebrew rites, at half-past 7 o'clock, and was witnessed by a large congregation composed of the friends and relatives of the young couple, and their parents. For the occasion the Synagogue had been beautifully and profusely decorated with vines, palms and flowers, and seemed in its artistic loveliness like a conservatory filled with guests. Before and during the ceremony which joined this popular young couple for better or for worse, Metz's Charleston Orchestra furnished the sweetest music, and at the proper times a choir of young singers added their clear voices to the ceremony. All of the service was in the Hebrew language and was noticeable for its religious solemnity. When all of the large number of spectators had been seated and the bridal party had arrived the four ushers, Messrs Morris Ellison, Alec Levin, Abe Herzog and Hyman Birlant, came down the centre aisle and took their proper places near the altar. Next came the groomsman, Mr. Samuel Berkman, with the only bridesmaid, Miss Ray Banov, and then came Mr. Daniel Ellison, the best man, with the lovely maid of honor, Miss Rosa Pearlstine. Following these the groom entered with mother and brother, and next came the bride with her mother and father. Between came the two little flower girls, Misses Marie and Eva' Karesh, and the ring bearer, Miss Ray Karesh. The bridal party followed them and all grouped in their proper places. When the ceremony had been completed the party left the church as they had entered, the bride and groom preceding. After the marriage the bridal party were driven to the residence of the bride's father, where an elegant repast had been spread, and where until a late hour the joyous occasion was celebrated in the customary manner. There were many guests at this reception. The presents received by the newly wedded pair were numerous, useful and costly, showing the popular esteem in which they are held. The groom is a well-known young business man of Charleston, and the charming bride is the daughter of Mr. E. Ellison, of this city. The popular young couple will make their home here.?Charles ton News and Courier, Friday, March 4. News of the above marriage will be of interest to the people of Bamberg, as Mr. Karesh, the groom, was a resident and merchant of Bamberg for several years, leavinghere to go to Charleston about three years ago.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne iif mind,"however,that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of grip, and by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the threatened attacK 01 pneumonia may oe warded off. This remedy is used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with best results. Dr. W. J.

SAYS ITS WORSE THAN THE BAR-ROOM SYSTEM TO THE PUBLIC. Sam Jones the Famous Georgia Preacher, Prefers Saloons to Dispensary System?Visited Blind Tigers in Charleston. Sam Jones writes to The Atlanta Journal from Cartersville, Ga., as follows: I have spent three days of this week in South Carolina, and I have been thinking considerably over what I saw and heard on this trip! as well as on other tours through South Carolina. I spent last Afnr/lQT- nifflit in Phorloctnn Our train Jluuuu; on Coast Line was late. "We got to Charleston about 9 o'clock. I inquired at the hotel for a decent restaurant. I was referred to one in the block of the hotel 1 went in, ordered my supper. At the table next to me were four young men, not eating but drinking. They were full when I got in; they were fuller when I got oui. When I got back to the hotel I remarked that there seemed to be more to drink than to eat at the restaurant they referred me to. That brought on more talk, and the dispensary, with all its characteristics was discussed. A gentleman standing high in the financial and political life of South Carolina proposed to me that he would show me something if I would go with him, and I accepted his invitation, and within two blocks he carried me into six full-fledged Charleston blind tigers. He said there were 300 of them there. Some of them were raided by the State and city constabulary frequently. Others were immune; | they never had been raided. There are fourteen State dispensaries in Charleston. I suppose they only do a smdll per cent of the business in liquor. The dispensaries must close at 6 o'clock in the evening, and open at 6 o'clock in the morning, but the blind tigers do business after the hours of the dispensary, and they do business until the wee small hours of the morning. The names and places of these blind tigers are as well known in Charleston as the clothing stores of George Muse and Eiseman, or the dry goods stores of Chamberlin-Johnson and Keely in Atlanta. The dispensaries in the smaller towns do a large business, and perhaps the only liquor business of any of them worth speaking of; but they do business, selling bust-head from sixteen cents a half pint bottle to $2 a quart. The State is the wholesale dealer and furnishes all the dispensaries and the State's profit is made in their profits as they sell to the county and town dispensaries. For instance each dispensary pays the State dispensary twelve cents a bottle for that pop-skull, which the town dispensary sells for fifteen cents, and it has the stamp of the State chemist on it, reading "Nothing chemically impure in this liquor." I do not know why thev" do not stamp on the bottle, "Nothing morally impure either." The one would go as far ! with me as the other. - I once favored the dispensary as a j choice between the saloon and the dispensary, for the following reasons: First, 11 thought the dispensary would put the bar room crowd and the liquor interests out of politics, and we all know what a potent factor they make. Second, that the license feature, by which the coffers of the town and State are enriched would be done away with; and thirdly, because I believed less liquor would be drunk. But the South Carolina dispensaries demonstrate that liquor is in politics worse in South Carolina than any State in the Union. And secondly, that the taxpayers are getting more money out of it. And thirdly, that there :js more liquor drunk out of the dispensaries of South Carolina, per capita, in my candid judgment, than out of the full-fledged bar rooms in other States. It will take South Carolina a hundred years to recover from the effects of the dispensary; for dispensary liquor not only debauches the poor devils that drink it, but the dispensary will debauch the whole State in its politics and morals. I am as much against the open saloon as I ever was. I am as much against the dispensary as I am against the saloon, and for the same reasons. And I keep saying that if whiskey is a good thing, then turn it loose, and let it flow ankle deep, and a dipper on the limb of every tree and give the world all the good there is in it. If it is a bad thing, then down with and out with the whole business m extenso. ? Greenwood, S. C., has never had a dispensary. For first-class citizenship, intelligence, morality and decency she stands without a peer in that State. Clinton, S. j C., I believe, is another of the same stripe. ! But whenever you find a dispensary you ' will find a debauched sentiment, and. a ! growing greed on the part of the taxpay: ei's to push its business, and to increase ' its profits. ; The best elements of South Carolina ! are against the dispensary, the worst ele! ments of South Carolina are against the i dispensary; and these two classes together /I /\ ?? <\f 1?A n n 1 ?? ?M U A f Cf n f ^ T f < uu nut uiaac a uiajuntj iu mat oiaic. it ! is an anomalous state of things if the best and worst elements of society be together against anything. I do not remember that I have met a single minister in South Carolina, or de vout Christian man who wasn't against the dispensary; and the worst feature of the dispensary system is, it has fastened itself like a leech, and has come to stay. I rather undertake to vote the saloons out of Macon, Atlata or Savannah, than to undertake to vote the dispensary out of Athens or Rome. I have not only got to fight the liquor, but I have got to fight the profits of liquor that comes to each taxpayer of the county, and when you touch the average fellow's pocket, you have hit the vital spot. If any town in Georgia, or other State UULUCUipimca ludu^uiauu^ a uxop^ucui j < let them send a committee of three honest men to Charleston or Columbia, and take in also some of the smaller towns, and see the thing as it is. That committee will come back and report unfavorably. Keep your saloons until you can vote them out, but don't ever compromise by swapping your saloons for the dispensary, A saloon is the smallpox, a dispensary is the measles. I, for one, had rather have the smallpox, and get well than to have the measles forever. I am frequently asked, which would you choose saloons or dispensary or blind tigers? I reply, why don't you ask me which I had rather have, smallpox, yellow fever or measles? By the grace of God, I don't want either one of the three in mine, and am not goi: g to have them if I can help it. G. Frank Bamberg sells everything under a positive guarantee.

HORRIBLY CASHED WITH AN AXE. unexplained right Between iwo ixeignDors in Richland County?The Wounded Man is Likely to Die. Columbia, S C., March 7.-*-An unexplained act of a terrible nature was made Saturday nigh!; against the life of Ed Martin by Will Lee, both farmers living about seven miles from the city on the Winnsboro road. Martin is lying at his home with a frightful gash five inches wide and three inches deep, in his breast. The deadly blow was inflicted with an axe in the hands of Lee, who was arrested yesterday at his home and is now in the county jail. The encounter between the two men took place at the home of Lee, it was stated, but at what hour of the night could not be learned. Dr. L. E. Harmon was summoned between 2 and 3 o'clock and arrived at 4 o'clock at a neighbor's house a few hundred yards from Lee's home, to which the wounded man had walked. Dr. Harmon says he was not told at what hour the combat took place and that the injury was so serious and the man so extremely weak from the loss of blood that his entire attention was given to the urgent requirements of his patient. Lee was arrested yesterday by Sheriff Coleman, who drove out to the scene of the tragic occurrence. The prisoner made no resistance, but would not talk, about anything relating to the assault, only that it occurred at his home, but as to the hour of the night or of the reasons for such a summary onslaught, the prisoner was silent. Dr. Harmon stated last night that the wound indicated that the blow was a full, free swing of the axe. The fissure extending five inches from the left shoulder blade downward and was fully three inches deep, penetrating the left lung. What chances fo recovery had the victim he could not state, but his condition, he said, was grave. Martin was removed to his own home a short distance away yesterday afternoon. Dr. Harmon visited him there and was pleased with his condition after standing the strain of being carried on a litter. None of the neighbors would talk of the affair,, said the physician. Martin is a married man and has two children and is a tenant on the plantation of Mr. W. M. Mays of Columbia. A Columbian who knew Martin said he had the reputation of being a very quiet ana oroeriy man. jjee is aisu uianicu, but has no children. Letter to H. J. Brabham, Bamberg, 5. C. Dear Sir; Devoe is worth $4 or $o a gallon, put-on; how much is another paint worth? Depends on how many gallons you've got to put-on, to be equal to one of Devoe. Mr J J Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted two houses one oat, five years ago, lead-andoil, took 40 gallons. Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe for same houses; had 10 gallons left. Mr N Avery, Delhi, N Y, owns two houses exactly alike; painted one with Devoe; took 6 "gallons. The other with some other; took 12 gallons. What'd you give for those off paints?

BRELAND IN THE KEARSE SECTION FIRED SUNDAY MORNING. A Keg of Gunpowder Explodes Inflicting Very Serious Injuries on a Prominent Physician. People in That Section Aroused. Last Sunday morning about four o'clock the store of Mr. J. S. Breland in the Kearse section of this county was xlestroyed by fire. The fire was discovered after it had gained considerable headway and nothing of any consequence was saved. Tne loss of building and goods is a heavy one, and we are informed that Mr. Breland had no insurance. The value of goods and building must have been at least $1,500. Immediately upon discovering the fire Mr. Breland and Dr. H. Manning Brabham, who boards with him, rushed to the burning building to save something if possible. Soon afterwards a keg of gun powder (fifty pounds) exploded and completely wrecked the building. One of the flying timbers struck Dr. Brabham across the face, destroying the sight of the left eye, and crushing the nose and jaw. The wound is a ghastly one, and for a while he was not expected to recover. Our latest advices are that he is doing as well as could possibly be expected, and his recovery is hoped for. He is suffering considerably but has been conscious all the while. The blow was a terrifiic one, and it is wonderful that he was not instantly killed. A crowd of neighbors soon gathered and the country has been scoured in search of the incendiaries. This is cue tmra rouuery auu scuuuu uiu urng in that section in the last two weeks. No clue has as yet been found, but the people of that section are aroused and will not discontinue their efforts until the guilty parties are brought to justice. Dr. Brabham is one of the most popular physicians in this county, and his many friends deeply regret that this awful accident has befallen him. His re-1 covery is earnestly looked for. GREAT EXCITE/IENT IN BAMBERG. Two Houses Burned In the Kearse Section by a Gang of Thieves and Incendiaries?Dr. H. M. Brabham, a Much Loved Physician, Probably Fatally Injured by an Explosion of Gunpowder In one of the Houses. Olar, March 7.?Special: The Kearse section is in great excitement. Evidently a gang of thieves and incendiaries are operating in an extensive way. A few nights ago the store of Messrs J. Bitter & Son was robbed and a large amount of goods stolen. Last Sunday morning before dawn the store of Mr. J. 0. Kearse was totally destroyed by fire, the loss being large and total, as he carried no insurance. Between midnight and dawn this morning the store of Mr. J. S. Breland was found in a light blaze. Mr. Breland, his clerk, Mr. H. L. Kearse, and Dr. H. M. Brabham were first at the burning building. A few minutes after reaching the store a large keg of powder exploded, which completely wrecked it. Mr. Breland was slightly wounded on the head by a flying board, and a large piece of timber struck Dr. Brabham in the face, completely knocking out his left eye and crushing in much of the frontal facial bones. The wound is ghastly. Drs. Coleman, Folk and Kirkland were hastily summoned, and they are doing all in their power to save the life of their patierft, but they are not hopeful, and told his family to prepare for the worst. As proof of the esteem the people of this section have for Dr. Brabham, his pastor, the Rev. Mr. Harley, call to see him, and was so shocked that he went on to the church and in a few simple words told whad had happened, and stated that services would be orditted. Strange to say the same thing happened at the colored people's church near by. For twelve or more years Dr. Brabham has practiced here, and holds a large place in the hearts of all the people, both white and colored. As above stated excitement is running high, and if these high-handed outlaws are caught it will be hard indeed to keep Judge Lynch from presiding. Scouting parties have been out all day to-day; in fact, nearly all of last week, and it will be kept up.?News and Courier. * Everybody come to Bamberg next Saturday and hear the Ladies' ililitary Band.

A strange negro known by two or three names arrived at town Saturday morning. He said he was a railroad hand. His conduct * * v % was a little disorderly ana ne wasoraerea to leave town. He went to the house of a negro by the name of Manuel and after staying a short time he returned to town. The marshal considered that his irrelevant language warranted arrest. When arrested he became violent. By the aid of handcuffs and ropes he was secured and carried to the calaboose and left there for the night, the only charge being disorderly conduct. He was taken out during the night and carried out a short distance and shot several times, the handcuffs still being on Thpv threw him in a ditch and left I mm. *uvj - -- him for dead. He soon crawled out and went to Manuel's house, freezing, bleeding to death and handcuffed. He wanted fire and a place to die. Manuel was afraid to take him for fear that his murderers would visit him. He went some distance to an unoccupied house and there crouching against the wall died. He told Manuel that two white men took him from the calaboose. It seems that downright savagery could go no further. THE BEST COUGH SYRUP. S. L.

Former President Invited Negro to White Hoost Reception, also Signed a Bill Providing - -Ji'ja| for Mixed Schools. j|S Atlanta, Ga., March 7.?The News publishes the following letter. ^Wjj9 Thompson, Ga., March 5,1904. k|?lg| To The Atlanta News:?Mr. Clevelaaft /^^B denies that C.
