Thursday, Dec. i, 1904 fS Senator Tillman in a letter to the Greenfey TiUe Mountaineer, explaining his attitude ha the contest in the general election orer ?# ' the office of county supervisor of Greens'; riile county, says that we must keep the ro?, primary above suspicion. This is good doctrine, and one to which ail honest gfe Democrats will subscribe, but the Senator j||^; should advocate such rules and regulations for the government of the primaries m>ps will put them above suspicion. Just g|v so long as the present lax methods prevail ??%?*o long will there be charges of unfair|pj MS, partisanship, and corruption. Governor Hey ward should withdraw ( ' the dispensary constables from Charles, ton or put new ones there. It is very E>~ plain to any who know of conditions in P/ - thatcitv that the constables now station jfe.?d in Charleston do little or no good in ( the way of suppressing the illicit sale of /whiskey. Liquor is sold in plenty cf / places almost openly and seemingly withEjgfe 4Wt fear of molestation. Hare the tigers ? [S|| tamed the constables^ or it is impossible Bgffifb make any show at enforcing the dis- 4 |& penary law in Charleston? If the latter, governor should withdraw every con- ? Hfcjftable, take away the profits, and give :he ;t\> whiskey men full sway. * Amid all this discussion of the dispen ary and the whiskey question, would it ] jipftQt be well to be considering some solumt^pn of this vexatious problem? Suppose - the dispensary law is repealed, what then? / oVjkre we to have prohibition or free whisjlfefcey? That the coming'session of the > legislature will attempt to change the 'S^j^retent status of affairs we have little I t||fejkrabt. But what course they will pursue gfeSli what troubles us most. This is the for conservative, wise action, and ^R^men should not he led away by prejudice. m ||We have no pet scheme to offer, but we | * < are afraid our lost state will be worse Bjp^tfcan the first unless this matter is taken ^H^hold of earnestly, with the purpose to do -y what is best for the welfare of the State. Rll?, Speaking for this newspaper, and for it g||?/akme, we have always been a friend of the ^R: dispensary, and at no time in its aVminisc ^ration have we been unmindful of its l^-good or its bad features. But the trouble I * W* no*80 muc^ *aw 118 with! enforcement. Honestly conducted,! f S";.with the restrietive features rigidly en-1 ; -forced, it is without doubt the best system ! g||^ we are likely to get for the control of the : liquor traffic. But there's the rub. That Hli^fthas been clouded with suspicion through !ese years and that the restrictions ng to decrease the sale of liquor"have almost ignored, counts nothing st the system. But the cry is "Clear uspicioa or kill it." Can it be cleared spicion and gain the respect and rt of the people or will it go down a cloud which will rest upon the State? IMPORTANT NOTICE. editor of this paper has been seriwnsidering fdr some time the adity of raising the subscription price i Herald. We do not want to" do < at our expenses are much higher ley were a year or two ago. Everylas advanced in price, and it costs nore for living and office expenses, 'ore, it is clear that we must find ( ray to increase our income. It is ( at we are doing more business ths.n , ut we are not getting enough for ?rk. Everything else has gone up e except the price of printing. i we do not want to raise the subon price of the paper. One dollar ivenient price for a weekly paper, about all some of them are worth, lieve our paper is worth more, but leither here nor there; we do not o increase the price. So we have d this solution o?the question: A ty of our patrons now pay us cash rance for their subscriptions; in aost of our subscribers do so, so :er we will continue the one dollar those who pay in advance, and to vho do not pay in advance the rate e $1.50 a year. This is entirely Ita^r, lor mere is no justice in cnargmg as much for cash in advance as for credit subscriptions. So bear in mind, that if you want The Herald on credit it will cost you $1.50 a year. For cash in advance the price will remain one dollar. Dr. B. H. Thurman, of Cheraw, was shot and killled on Tuesday by Geo. W. 0 .trms, a tenant on Dr. Thurman's place. During the absence of Carms Dr. Thurman drove up to his house, and getting out of his buggy went into the yard and commenced talking with Mrs. Carms, at the same time holding a pistol in his hand. About the same time Carms came up and seizing the doctor from behind matched the pistol out of his hand and commenced beating him over the head with it, which caused the pistol to fire, the ball entering the doctors head, killing him instantly. * December Woman's Home Companion.

The city man said he was stuck Upon the rural life. Ho longer wished to run amuck In noise and dust and strife. Said he: "I'd like to husk the eggs And dig the new inown hay, And monkey with the husking pigs And milk the cows for whey. (Td like to pick the cream and cheese And dig the apple crop, And drive a team of pure white geese And feed the chickens slop. "It would be fun to groom the pigs And curry off the cows, And hitch the roosters*into rigs And work the threshing ploughs. * 'Twould be a treat to shell the oats An/l niMr thp hnekwheat flour. A.nd gather whiskers from the goats And sort them by the hoar. } Td like to cultivate the bees ] And pump the pale blue milk, i A.nd pick the pumpkins from the trees And do things of that ilk. Td like to pick the little lambs And shear the gentle hens. Ind gather in the fresh smoked hams. And put the wasps in pens. Tn fact I think the country life 3 Would be the thing for me; i [ do not care for wortc and strife, ( I need the rest you see." ?Chicago Chronicle. 1 The Only Case on Record. Pickens, Nov. 29.?Coroner Parsons, who held an inquest at Clemson college last Thursday over the body of the Sizemore boy, is "of the opinion that it is the only instance in the history of the State when nine college professors sat on a jury. ' ' Vx'Yv.^:'; MABEL PAIQE Who will appear in the Opera House here Friday evening, Dec. and, in the play, "THE LITTLE PRINCESS" Ate Their Gods. The gods of most South American tribes of Indians are generally looked upon as sacred, but when the gods become a nuisance it ir time to put an end to them; at least, ihat is what a certain tribe along the Zabari river think. They worship tie iguana and monkey, but as soon as the iguana started eating chickens they thought it time to stop worshiping him and to eat him in place of the chickens he had eaten. This they do, and they prefer iguana stew to chicken fricassee. The Elect of Boston. I can remember when it was Jocosely 'said of some families of Massachusetts that they claimed to have bad, in the time of Noah's deluge, a boat to themselves, and I can recall, on the other hand, when a social aspirant in Boston asked, "Who belong to the really old families, grandmamma?" and when that relative shook her weary head and said, "Mostly no one, my dear."?Thomas Wentworth Higginson in Atlantic.
