? ' . All this talk about whiskey being more
plentiful now in counties where dispensaries
have been voted out than under the
'
dispensary regime is all bosh. No doubt
^ such talk comes from the dispensary people,
but they are not helping their cause
Any by spreading such reports. Anybody
with common sense knows this is not

John Sharpe Williams, the Democratic
leader of congress, in the house, says that
he will support the president in the matter
of national regulation of railroad
rates. As the Esch-Townsend bill is the
only one likely to be presented, the statement
of Mr. Williams is equivalent to
saying that he will support this bill. It
is to be hoped that the Democrats will
not follow him in this. The Democrats
in congress can be depended on to do
some very foolish things, but we think
they will hardly support this measure.
A short visit to Orangebrg last week
showed us some of the wonderful progress
that thriving city has made in the
last few years. Handsome new business
- i ii
houses, long lines or cement; siaewaias,
beautiful new residences, and many other
^y V things attested the progressive spirit of
her citizens. Bamberg could with profit
v follow the example of her sister town
across the Edisto. The most noticeable
difference to us was the appearance of {
- the business portion of the city. A few
years ago most of the business houses
. were old style one-story structures, some
ofth'em being of wood. Now modern 1
fv' two and three-story brick stores with 1
plate glass and handsome fronts are to 1
be seen. In fact, Orangeburg's business !
N * section would do credit to a much larger
I dly' v '
The price of farming lands has gone i
much higher all over the State. Now, '
} . let'? see how this class of property will be
returned in January. It is a fact, which ]
no one can successfully deny, that banks, i
/ , >. cotton and oil mills, other manufacturing i
enterprises, and.town property, both real
and persona], bears an unjust burden in
the matter of taxation. Why should farming
lands which are worth $50 or more
tthe acre be returned at $5 the acre, and
other property be assessed at sixty per
cent, of its value ? This rate of assessment
does not obtain in all instances, but we
unhesitatingly declare that farming lands
as a rule are assessed lower than any
other form of property. We are not ar
going for higher assessments, dui we ao
want to see more equitable and just assessments,
Either raise farming lands
or reduce other property. "Equal j ustice
to all men" and classes of property should
& . be done.

" "Christ With Us," a poem by Edwin

of the magazine is very Christ-' \
massy indeed. Christmas fiction is represented
by "An Ogre's Tenants," by
Owen Oliver; "The Burglar's Christmas
Gift," by Clara Morris; "The Quest of (
the Unwise Men," by Temple Bailey; j

Reo Bennett tells how John D. Roctee- t
feller celebrates the day; and two articles .
elaborately illustrated with photographs
tell "How Royalty Celebrates Christmas," 8
and of "Christmas Charities of the Great i

Cameron, November 14.?Mr. Whiteman
Horzer. of Jamison. S. C., and Miss
Ethel Smith, of Cameron, were married
at the Methodist church, of Jamison,
Sunday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock. After
the ceremony they left on the Southern

where they will spend their honeymoon.
The bride is the charming daughter of
Mrs. Carrie E. Smith, of Cameron. Her *
winning ways and graceful courtesy have
made for her many friends among the J
young and the old, and she will be greatly '
missed in her social circle.
Mr. Horger is a prosperous farmer of 1

families of Orangeburg county. He is to (
be congratulated. <

NEGRO ATTEMPTS ASSAULT. (
^
Charlie Benson Arrested Monday in Camden J
Pet Dog Saved its Mistress.
Camden, Nov. 20?Charlie Benson. Jr., g
a negro boy about 18 years old, was arrested
today for an attempted assault on a resnected
ladv of this city, and has confess- E
"I ? - ed
his guilt. {
The attempt was made Friday a week
ago, and Benson was arrested on a suspicion
soon afterwards but was released, as |
there was no evidence against him. He
was employed at the house adjoining the
scene of the attempt and had been at
work there ever since it took place. .
When again arrested today he made, a *
statement admitting that he had attempt- ,
ed to assault the lady, and his statement *
agrees with hers, although she was unable
to identify him, not knowing whether
her assailant was black or white. His
confession also confirms the lady's statement
that her pet dog saved her from /
greater harm by his persistent barking as ^
she was struggling with the negro. j
When the crime was committed the i
carnival was in town. That afternoon the 1
negro boy met the lady's hnsband at the
gentleman's gate and asked him if he
were going to the carnival, and whether
he were going at night or in the afternoon.
He was told that the gentleman was go- C
ing in the afternoon and the negro then
decided to take advantage of his absence i
and make an attempt for which he had I
been planning for several days, so he "
now says. He saw his chance when the
lady went to the lot to shut the gate.
When she reached the. gate the negro was ?
waiting and sprang at her, caught her
and threw her down. The woman fought
him desperately until her clothes were
torn almost to threads, and his neck was
cut by her finger nails, the marks of which
are still visible. Fearing that the bark- ing
of her pet dog would attract attention I
the negro gave up the struggle and ran. |
It was "clark and she could not see |
whether he was white or black.
The affair occurred in a prominent residence
portion o^the town, the house
being on Monumental park. The lady is F
of a well known family and is about 27 9
years of age. u
When Benspn was arrested here today r<
it was thought that there might be an at- &
tempt to lynch him, and<the sheriff sought ii
authority from the governor to remove 0
his prisoner or to secure extra protection h
if necessary but tonighi it was thought T
unnecessary and the negro is now in jail. j
A SAD KILLING. ?
/ IF
Little Boy, Twelve Years Old, Shoots Another __
With a Parlor Rifle. m
Last Saturday afternoon a most distressing
affair occurred in the factory
portion of the town, which forcibly illustrates
the very bad practice of allowing
K/>r?o tr\ Konrllo firoormc
jujaii UVJ O bV UUUU1V UAViMtuw* |
It seems that several little boys were I
together and one had a parlor rifle, and %
one little fellow, twelve years old, shot ?
and instantly killed one of his playmates.
The bullet entered the heart.
An inquest was held by Coroner Zeig- !r
ler, and the jury returned a verdict in the tj
usual form, that the dead boy came to his
death at the hands of John Hodson.
Notwithstanding a lot of inquiries, we __
have been able to learn very little of the
details of the killing. In fact, we have
heard several versions of the affair. We
understand that the only witness of importance
at the inquest was one of the
little boys who was present when the
killing took place. His story was, so we
are informed (we have not been able to
see the testimony) that young Hodson
called to him that he was going to sboct
him, and he replied that if he did, that
his father had a gun and would shoot
him (Hodson.) Then Hodson turned to
the boy who was killed and said he
would shoot him, which he at once did.
The dead boy's name was McLoat or
something like this. No one seems even
to know exactly what the right name is.
Young Hodson is now in jail. His
parents are English people, and have

time.
The case is evidently one of criminal
carelessness or accident. There was no
quarrel, and the boys were evidently
jood friends. * 1
Drowned Herself In Pond.
Brevard, N. C., Nov. 20.?Miss Sarah
Deaver, a popular and estimable young =
voman of this place, committed suicide ?
his morning by drowning herself in ;
Davidson river. Poor health is assigned <
is the cause. This morning Miss Deaver 1
ose early and went down to see to get*
ing breakfast, and when the family as- j
embled she could not be found. Search 3
vas instituted and foot-prints were found ;
eading to the river, and afterward her ?
?ody was recovered. She had evidently \
>repared to get breakfast, as she left the i
ire burning and the meal partly cooked, j
The Cotton Market. 1
The government crop report came out 1
ruesday, and sent the price of cotton <
lp with a bound. The report puts the j
;rop much shorter than was supposed,
he figures for the total crop being less =
;han eight million bales. The price today t
is eleven cents in Bamberg, and the receipts
of the week are only 100 bales. As
soon as the report came out, New York
went up 100 points, or one cent a pound,
[t seems likely that the price will go still
higher.
