Thursday, Jan. 19,1905 The finances of Beveral counties in the * State seem to be in a fearful condition, and the legislature will take steps to have Hp"'.;' an Investigation made in each case. In i|^ - Greenville and Richland the state of affp fairs is anything but creditable. In his fj&V*- feport Comptroller Jones says he found Irregularities in fourteen counties. Great is reform! 1 m -\. The legislature will do well to pass some of the bills introduced looking to i'_ the securing of a better class of jurors. C The session will sot be wasted if a comvpulsory education act is passed and the - method of conducting our criminal courts improved. Circuit Judges should be given the right to charge juries on the facts in criminal and civil cases. ' Governor Heyward in an interview last Jfonday stated that he would not be a | candidate for governor again, and that be would retire from politics altogether at the end of bis term as governor. Some .people have-thought the governor would Stand for the position of United States Senator, but his positive statement puts an end to all "political rumors in regard .to his future intentions. - It is rather significant that the resolution to investigate the dispensary was ;offered in the Senate by the Senator from > Newberry, which is the home of one of the State board of directors. There is a story afloat that this member of the boardis behind the resolution, the other two members of the board having combined against him and cut off his "pickings" in 3be matter of purchasing liquors. An Interesting Story. A gentleman who has just come from Columbia says that there is weeping and g and gnashing of teeth on the part j of the member of the' dispensary board who formerly enjoyed the fat pickings and was living a life of luxury and fast - " mi a. vi. I'tfjjt Becoming a moaern uoctbb. xueuvume arose from the two other members of the ^ board forming a coalition against him and Kr controlling all the purchases, rendering this member's vote of no commercial or J < marketable value. As there are only three members of the board two constitute a decisive majority and tbe third member is wholly impotent. Having the riches of ^ .-"directing" the dispensary tarn to ashes in his handa has almost broken the heart :C- \-.pt this member and he is said to be be^ hind the resolution calling for an inves, tigation of the management of the dispensary and he hopes to be the means of having his associates brought to book and the former state of affairs ^,.'':when he enjoyed the rightful emoluments of his position restored. He is vv ~ tired staying oat in the cold and feeding 5 : on husks at $400 a year. As this member ^ is a good fellow, it seems a pity that the > V other two members should have treated $>"; him so inconsiderately. They should .have at least divided the graft into thirds f and given him his part Otherwise what membership on the board worth?? i V Soartanbur* JournaL < Il0:r V The Stale Liquor Basinets. ?. The Slate board of control has submit- , ted its annual report to Gov. Hey ward. It is brief, but a most interesting presen tation of figures is made. The total cost of liquors, wines, etc., purchased during the year amounts to $2,316,243.67, and the total sales "^exclusive of "fresh .beer") ;; amounts to $3,374,786.43. The net earnings for theaccount of the school fund for fiscal year, which have been placed to its credit, amount to $171,377.73. The net profits that have accrued tov and equally divided between the counties and towns V amount to $603,998.22, making the total &?/.' earnings for the year for the school fund, Bp ; counties and towns, $775,275.95, which l. * is an increase over earnings of last year, II* :; - $138,893.60. A Forgotten Lair. ? One of many laws of the State that has fallen into disuse is that relating to |j? v the care and preservation of trees along the highways. Section 459 of the code S$ak1 reads as follows: "Whoever shall wilfully or wantonly if ":,f * cut down or kill any tree growing within ten feet of any road which may be laid, out, altered or mended by authority of the V *V county supervisor of any couDty, which shall, by direction of the highway surveyor - or in charge of such road, have been left m-zM standing as convenient for shade to the T* said road, for each tree so cut down or killed shall be fined twenty-five dollars at any court of competent jurisdiction." If this law were enforced we would soon IP have beautiful highways in every section of every county in the State. And besides the shade would make .traveling on the highways more pleasant in summer, and the trees would protect the roads from washing in the wmter. It seems a great pity that this law is not enforced. m1 . I!? ' .! * New Advertisements. A. J. Hunter?For Sale. Perry Jones?Warning Notice. J. M. DANNELLY. The new advertisement of J. M.

The property to be delivered to the purchaser on the 1st day of June, 1905. The purchaser to pay cash for the property when bid is accepted. H. J. Brabham, Chairman Building Committee. Bamberg, S. CI, January 6,1905. Frank B. Ayers, who was connected with the force who are constructing the new steel bridge over the Catawba river on the Southern road, near Fort Mill, was knocked off the bridge by a large guy rope and was instantly killed.

Copeland, late postmaster at Bethune, who is serving a term in the Federal prison in Atlanta for omVvu7?lomont wflTA nnpri in the United States court in Colnmbia last week for the amount of Copeland's shortage. The names of some of the bondsmen were forged. At a joint meeting of the executive and legislative committees of the South Carolina Bankers' Association held in Columbia Thursday, it was resolved as the sense of these committees: First: That the best interests of the people of this?State require that there should be appointed a State bank examiner. Second: That these committees recommend to the State Bank-, ere' Association /at its next meeting, in Anderson, this year, that action be taken looking to the adoption ef suitable legislation by the next meeting of the State general assembly to carry this recommendation into effect.

This sign was all right, and placed over the sheet music it would have been quite the thing. Through some error, however, the window dresser had hung it over an array of large-size hosiery. Near London, Ky., a 17 year-old boy and a coy bashful maiden, 60 years old, were married. He had a superabundance of youth and she owned .2,000 acres of mountain land and other things. At Utica, N. Y., Charlotte Armstrong a business girl of 18, is bringing suit against a slow hesitating lover, aged 85, because he continually puts off the day of marriage. ? A "The weather is so changeable." Ofie may hear that expression every day. Whether it is raining or shining, calm or windy, hot or cold, people inform you that the weather is very changeable. Do they want the same temperature the year round ? Do they want it dry all the time; or cold? or hot? The fact is that the weather is ail right. Without changes in the weather the world would be an unattractive place. You will please let the weather alone. It is all right. TONIC TO THE SYSTEM. For liver troubles and constipation there is nothing better than DeWitt's Little Early Risers, the famous little pills. They do not weaken the stomach. Their action upon the system is mild, pleasant, harmless. Bob Moore, of LaFayette, Ind., says, "No use talking, DeWitt's Little Early Risers do their work. All other pills I have used gripe and make me sick in the stomach and never cured me. DeWitt's Little Early Risers proved to be the long sought relief. They are simply perfect." Persons traveling .find Little Early Risers the most reliable remedy to carry with them. Sold by H. F.

Bettina gave her head a disdainful toss and helped herself to another chocolate. "I know I shan't even like him," she said, finding it difficult to express disapproval with any great amount of dignity when one cheek was distorted by a chocolate drop. "Now, Bettina, that's simply prejudice. He was the nicest fellow at college, and he Is the only, man on earth I would be willing for you to marry." Bettina'8 fingers seized a candied violet which she discovered in the corner of the box. "Of course I know he's a wonder," oairi the reason I know I shan't like him. He is probably so perfeet, that he chews his food- a regulation number of times before swallowing.'* Hilyer laughed. "I've seen him swallow sandwiches so fast it would take a lightning calculator to keep up with him. Now, Bettlna, please be reasonable! I haven't seen Dent since we left college, but if he is as jolly a doctor as he was a medical student you certainly will not have cause to complain of his primness. *~He will be here in time for the dance tonight, and I simply want you to be iflce to him. I don't know what it is women do to themselves when they want to be especially charming, but you can do it when you try, little sis.** Bettlna balanced the somewhat depleted candy box on top of a skull that ornamented the doctor's desk. "Thafs to keep the servant from eating the rest of it" she laughed. "Mag gie wouldn't dare touch It now. Well, Brother Doctor, I'll see what effect the new pompadour silk will have on Dr. Dent If it is immediate and startling and you see me sitting in the conaervj atory holding his hand don't be alarmI ed; it may be necessary to take his pulse." | Dr. Hilyer smiled as his erratic little sister flitted from the room. He had been resident physician at j the Burton asylum for two years, [ where it was customary to give an oc| casional dance for the inmates. Bettina found something unusual in these dances that she fairly reveled in, and ' she had not been known to miss one j since her brother had been in charge. I She would take the electric car from ! the city and arrive at toe sanitarium I triumphantly bearing a box containing her newest party dress, produced by home talent The girl's mother encouraged her industry by giving her all the material for party dresses that she would make up, and her chic creations I were the envy of her girl friends. When she had arrived that afternoon she had shown her brother a gay little blue and pink pompadour frock that he | had vowed would make it necessary to send all his harmless patients bade to padded cells and leave a paucity of dancing men. Dr. Denfs train was late. He hurried into his dress suit, and the* two friends started down the hall toward I the ballroom. An attendant came tip hurriedly and whispered that Hilyer was needed Immediately. *Tm sorry, old man," he said, turning to go with the nurse. "You'll have to find your way in alone. There's no hostess, so go in and talk to any one you like. You'll find Bettlna somewhere. Look for a yellow haired little girl in a blue and pink dress. I believe the little minx has sprinkled diamond dust in her hair and put a black patch on her cheek to be in keeping with her pompadour costume, so you will have no trouble in recognizing her." Bettlna was partly hidden by a group of palms when Dent entered the room. She saw him speak to several of the patients near the door and finally ask one dark eyed girl to dance. Bettlna recognized him Immediately from the photograph in her' brother's room and studied him calmly as he and his partner passed her. Certain she was that Will had not told her Dent was a perfect Hercules and that even the photograph had been misleading. She acknowledged to herself the improbability of a man of his type masticating food according to set rules and was rather inclined to think Will might have mentioned his style of dancing as a point in his favor when he had given a list of his friend's many imn +hiit offomnnTt TUWUCO W When she saw him coming toward her with the evident Intention of speak' lng she thought he mistook her for a patient; and her eyes sparkled with mischief. "May I introduce myself?" he asked, bowing before her. Bettlna raised a haughty little head. "It Js somewhat unusual for royalty to be approached with so little formality," she said Icily, "but of course the daughter of the lost dauphin of France has had to put up with a great many trials." Dent looked startled. "Perhaps I have made a mistake"? he commenced. "Oh, don't mention it," she Interrupted, with an airy little wave of the hand. " 'Tis within royal power to pardon, and even I, Princess Fleur-de-lis, feel that it Is no condescension to talk to Alexander the Great on an equal footing." Dent bowed again profoundly, so profoundly that when he stood erect I " . ' ' > *r -r'- ? . " ' * ?M ' ' ' ' "' ' ': -.v? . ' , .. y *0 . ,i>; . -.v. f ' J."*/' ' w '>. .V r V . / ^ lie bad gained control of the smile that threatened to convulse his countenance, for he knew he could not be mistaken about that patch and diamond dust It was scarcely probable that two girls would be dressed just like this. 'Tour highness, no battle trophy ever filled me with a joy that the effect of your approval does not rar exceed, j Permit me," he added, seating himself beside her. "Ifs really a pleasure," she continued affably. "It la so seldom that one meets royal blood In this democratic America. It will positively be the cause of my being an old maid, for of course a princess could not marry a commoner, could she?" Bettina's wicked little dimple was now in evidence, and the patch on her cheek called attention to it in a way that seemed positively audacious. "No, indeed," he assented eagerly; "of course princesses must marry?er? kings and things." Bettlna nodded approvingly. Her blue eyes looked into his with guileless expression that threatened Dent with a second attack of convulsions. "Yes, of course," she smiled into his face with a confidential friendliness. "I rather think I would like a king myself, but I have met so few," sighing. "In fact you are the first one." He leaned over and took the fan from her hand. "Fair princess, I feel that one could wish the first might be last and the last might be first" "Oh, dont; please don't" she entreated hurriedly. "Don't wish for anything. I'm afraid you might?cry." i^eni snareu in asumisnmeuu "Perhaps I ought not to have mentioned It"?she drew the corners of her small mouth down in an absurdly contrite manner?"but we heard about ?Alexander the Great's weeping; ifs really a matter of history. I would not start you to crying and spoil the evening for you?not for anything." "I feel a lump in my throat right now," he declared. "I am perfectly sure that if you don't dance this next waltz with me I shall burst into tears according to history." She rose quickly. "Anything to please the ba?I mean anything to keep you from crying," she said as they joined the dancers. Hilyer peeped into the conservatory an hour later. "I guess I'll not disturb that," he muttered and tiptoed away/ On the last day of Denfs holiday Bettina's maid carried a box into her room. It contained delicate purple and white lilacs tied with a royal purple ribbon strangely decorated. On one streamer was a hand painted shield of strange device, and another end of ribbon was tied around a small scroll of paper. The girl opened it eagerly.. Little Princess Fleur-de-lis?Alexander the Great feels another lump In his throat. He wants to call this afternoon and ask you that the fleur-de-lis shall be bound always by the royal ribbons of his house. } that afternoon Bettina smiled into his eyes admiringly. "I certainly am glad to marry a man who knows so much," she said, pointing to the painted ribbon that she wore In a knot on her breast "Now , I was so Ignorant that I had no idea how'Alexander's coat of arms looked." Dent drew the curly head over on his shoulder and laughed. She asked him why be laughed. He didn't think it necessary to tell her that he had paid a girl In an art store to copy the strangest looking shield he could find in the dictionary. A lion couchant or a charger rampant was all the same to him?he had trusted to luck that she would not know the difference, and he now added a touch of diplomacy that promised him great future success as a married man. "What am I laughing at, little girl? Yon might know that a man who was emotional enough to cry for mere worlds would laugh when he foundheaven." v The Birds In the Picture. George Chambers, an artist, was once commissioned by King William 1 IV. of England to paint a picture of the attack on a fortress on the Spanish coast by a frigate commanded by his majesty, who was then the Duke of Clarence. The attack took place at night Chambers completed a beautiful picture from some rough sketches that were In the king's possession, and when submitted for approval his majesty was delighted with it, but Chambers had taken an artlsf s liberty with the picture and for the purpose of relieving the somber veil of night had introduced some sea gulls skimming the waves* "Hello, hello. Chambers r said his majesty. "This will never do to have the birds flying about at night They were all gone to roost" "So they were, your majesty," replied Chambers, "but you gave such a rousing broadside with your guns that they all woke up and flew about'* "Ah, so I did; so I did, Chambers. I forgot that Very good, very goodr Japanese Playing Cards. "Japanese playing cards," writes a correspondent who has given some study to the playing cards of different countries, "are unlike those of any other country on earth. In shape they resemble those used in France and other countries on the continent, but they are very much smaller than ordinary cards, being but two inches in length by one in breadth. The backs of the cards are almost invariably black and with true Japanese artistic instinct are pasted over the edges of the cards so as to leave a narrow rim .to form a frame on the face of the card. The symbols are stenciled and the card varnished or enameled, thus causing it to be extremely slippery. The pack consists of forty-nine cards, the extra one, which has a plain.white face, being used or not at option as a 'joker.' ** ' \ '. . ? ' ; . - - W $H .. " r rgr v.;^.
