Hon. John L. McLaurin, who no doubt
knows something of the plans of the prohibitionists,
says he thinks there will be
a State prohibition ticket in the field next
year. And we believe a prohibition ticket
composed of strong men will come mighty
near winning.

Senator Tillman is exactly right when
he says the governor should remove the
present State board of control. Sure,
those fellows are rich enough and should
be turned out and let some other fellows
enjoy the "pickings" for a while. That's
what's the matter with the whole system
now. Those fellows who are gettin g rich
won't "diyy up" and that is the greatest
crime of all.

Since the People's Oil Company put a
tank wagon in this territory in competition
with the Standard Oil Company, the
Standard has cut the price of oil from
14i cents the gallon to twelve cents. The
People's sell oil at thirteen cents, and
now that the Standard has gone lower, ]
some people patronize that company, not
seeming to realize that it had not been 1
for competition they would still be pay- :
ing the old or a higher price. Just so sure ,
as the People's Oil Company goes out of <
this territory, the Standard will raise the !
price again, so it stands our. dealers in J
hand to patronize the concern which ]
brought prices down, even if they do pay i
one cent a gallon more. We have the
i opportunity to get out of the clutches of '
the trust, and yet we are short sighted j
enough to let one cent a gallon fool us.

The Orangeburg Times and Democrat |
had a long editorial last week on the sub
ject of negroes voting in dispensary elections,
and that newspaper appears to be
somewhat alarmed over the outlook. We (
:;V think our friend can rest easy, as there ;
seems no danger of any negro domination
in thece elections. Editor Wallace, of ;
the Newberry Observer, is a very careful
man in his statements, much more so
TT \f? Wol. 1
uiau me nuu. vine juicaoc, ouu mt. > ?*tlace
says that twelve negroes voted in the
recent dispensary election in that county,
cV some voting for and some against the
dispensary. So it would appear that the
negro vote amounted to nothing. Fact
is, we are surprised at the editorial of the
Times and Democrat, as Editor Wallace
corrected this matter some time ago, and
his article had been published in the News
k , and Courier and other papers. While on ,
the subject it might be well to bear in
mind that the dispensary was opened in 1
Newberry county by negro votes, and
this same condition applied in other counI
x' ties.
Workday for the Orphans.
A recent movement set on foot by Howard
L. Crumly, of the Decatur, (Ga.) Orphan's
home, is likely to be of very considerable
service in the near future to our
orphan children. The proposition is 1
that every man in the State, every woman, *
every child should set apart September ?
23, (Saturday) of this year, the proceeds ^
of his labor on that day, or whatever he (
can make, if he be not in business to the c
support of the orphans in the institution *
he loves best. In this State Presbyterians s
will work for the Thornwell Orphanage, 1
Clinton; the Methodists for the Epworth c
Orphanage, Columbia; the Baptists for 1
the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, Green- 1
wood. Send promptly on the Monday 1
following the sum made or raised, to the *
institution of your choice. The help 1
coming in at that time, will tide over t
these institutions till the Thanksgiving
and Christmas days. Send it be it little
or much. There are about six hundred
orphans in these institutions, and there

Shocked by Fair Bathers.
Adjutant General J. W. F. Hughs, of
the Kansas national guard, was shocked
by the sights at Atlantic City, N. J., says
a Topeka dispatch.
It was the military man's first experience
of salt water and bathing suits. He
started to the beach with Governor Hoch
and the other members of the governor's
staff, but when he saw a bevy of women
at the Philadelphia and Reading railway
station wearing bathing suits he halted.
"It is actually shocking," said the hero
of many Fort Riley sham battles in telling
his experience the other day. "There
were those women more than a'mile from
water, and wearing those ridiculous
clothes. Why, actually, their stockings
and their skirts did not meet by several
inches. I took one look at them and
caught the first train back."
SOUGHT MASONIC SECRETS.
Negroes Tried to Extort Them From a Gentle,
man in Georgia.
The following is from The Anderson
Mail: in J une tne newspapers comameu
brief mention^ of the attempt of several
negroes to wring Masonic secrets from a
resident of Toccoa, Georgia, by hanging.
The man is in Anderson today and has
been interviewed bv a representative of
The Daily Mail, fie bears yet on his
neck, red and raw, the scars of his terrible
experience.
He is Mr. T. W. Davenport, one of the
overseers of the Toccoa Cotton Mills. He
was formerly a resident of Pelzer and has
friends and relatives by the score in
Anderson. He is with his kinfolk in
Anderson now. His reputation wherever
he is known is that of a man of the strictest
integrity and he is especially respected
by his brother Masons. Mr. Davenport
told of his experience about as follows,
saying that it had never before been
fully described:
"There are several boarders in my home
in Toccoa. About June 15, one of my
boarders lost his wife and went to Atlanta
with her body. A little later I got a
message, supposedly from him, saying
that he was in trouble and asking me to
come to a little side station several miles
from Toccoa and help him out. Of course,
I went. It was after dark when I got off
the train, and nobody was around but
some negroes. They asked if I were the
gentleman who was to meet some one
there, and I replied in the affirmative,
when one of them offered to direct
me where to find my friend. We started
off up the railroad track.
"I was looking down to see that my
feet should not stumble on the cross ties,
when I was seized around the body and
a black hand clapped over my mouth.
Before I could defend myself, the negroes
had tied my hands behind my back and
blindfolded me.
"Then they put me in a buggy and we
drove and drove and drove. As*I learned
afterward, we stopped in the woods about
three miles from Buford. Then they began
to try to get me to tell them some of
the secrets of Masonry. Evidently they
belonged to some colored Masonic organization,
but suspected that it was a
spurious Masonry and wanted to know
the workings of the real craft.
"Of course, I refused to talk. They
threatened to hang me. Then they did (
put a rope around my neck and pull me
up over a limb, but got scared and let mc
down. They pulled me up twice, nearly
choking me to death each time. You can
see the marks of the rope here on my
Deck and imagine how I felt. Before
they let me down it seemed as if my
tungs would burst; everything grew black
in front of me and horrible things danced
in my eyes; I was too nearly unconscious
after the first time to think.
"Finally they seemed to get tired of the
game and evidently wished they were
well out of it. They took off the cords on
my hands and said they were certainly
going to kill me. I didn't know enough
then to care much about it one way or
the other.
"One of them climbed a tall sapling
until its top bent down with his weight,
nno cnri nf tVio Tnna tpqc foctoncrl tftit the
LTUW ViiU VI VUV A UV AMUVVUVV* WV AH VMV
other put around my neck again, and they
let the sapling go, jerking me off my feet.
I don't know what they aid just then; I
must have been unconscious for a minute,
for I came to with my lungs about to
burst and had just sense to throw up an
arm and catch the tree above my head,
Then I got a little air, and slowly untied
the knot, holding up my weight with one
hand. I dropped to the ground and lay
there for hours?I don't know bow long.
"After what seemed like a dozen years,
I managed to crawl and walk to a house.
I couldn't talk, with my swollen throat,
and couldn't make them understand me.
They let me lie down on the porch, and
there my friends found me.
"I am not much the worse, except for
the scars and they'll probably pass away
in time. I wouldn't go through with that
experience again for all the money in the
world. But I didn't tell them anything
about Masonry."

The Girl Who Works.
God bless the girl who works! She is
jrave and good and noble. She is not
loo proud to earn her own living nor
ishamed to be caught at her daily task.
She smiles at you from behind the counter
lesk, or printer's case. There is a mem>ry
of her sewed up in the adage, climbng,
struggles, rejoicing. The sight
thould be an inspiration to us all. It is
in honor to know this girl and be worthy
)f her esteem. Younglman lift your hat
o her as she passes by. Her hand3 may
De stained by dish washing, sweeping or
'actory grease, but it is an honest hand
ind a helping hand. All honor to the
arave girl who is not afraid nor ashamed
;o toil.
The Boss Picker.
His name is Aleck Albright, colored, 26
pears old, about 6 feet tall and a cigarette
smoker. He tells us that in five days
last week, beginning at sunrise, stopping
an hour and a half for noon and quitting
to weigh up at sundown,he picked in five
days 2611 pounds of seed cotton for Mr.
E. H. Jenkins, of Great Cypress.
Can the State equal that record?
His best day's picking in the past was
done last year, when one day he gathered
567 pounds.?Barnwell People.
Hadden Gets Bail.
Spartanburg, Sept.' 11.?W. L. Hadden,
who killed T. M. Glenn near "Wood's
chapel a few weeks ago, was granted bail
today by Judge Townsend, the sum being
fixed at $2,000. Mr. Stanyarne Wilson
went to Union this morning and argued

bond and has been released from jail.
This tragedy is a peculiar one. The circumstances
were that late one night, some
of the female members of Hadden's family
detected a face peering into the house
from a window and notified Mr. Hadden.
He went to the door, fired at a rapidly
retreating figure and returned inside the
house. The next morning he discovered
the body of T. M. Glenn, his nearest
neighbor, an aged and substantial citizen,
lying stiff and cold in death, about 50
yards from his (Hadden's) front door.
