Hilton Usher, the young white man
of Bennettsville who was cut in the
head by a negro several "weeks ago,
died as a result of the injury.
The county board of control of
Orangeburg county has decided to
close the dispensary at Elloree, as
the citizens of that town petitioned
for its removal.
John S. Wilson, of Manning, now
solicitor and elected circuit judge by
the last legislature, was operated on

gall stones. He is said not to be doing
so well.
J. L. Hoover, a young white man
and brakeman on a freight train, was
killed at Branchville Monday by
being run over by a train. He is
from the North section of Orangeburg
county.
The citizens of Elloree, Orangeburg
county, are trying to get the
county board of control to close the
dispensary in that town. The matter
will be heard by the board at its
next meeting.
Alex Adams, a white man, has
been arrested at Bennettsville. He
is charged with robbing the railroad
depots at McCoil, Darlington, and
other places. The evidence is strong
against him, and he is evidently a
bold robber.

Dr. W. L. Linder, of Union, white,
was shot in the back in his office
Monday morning by a negro woman.
The, wound is not necessarily fatal.
It is not known what the shooting
? was about, as the woman will make
no statement. She is in jail.
The State Supreme Court handed
down its r decision Monday in the
. matter of the removal of the State
board of dispensary directors by
Governor Ansel. The court holds

We have received a copy of the
program of the State convention of
the Baptist young people of South
Carolina, which is to meet in the first
Baptist church in Columbia, April
9-11. The program is an interesting
one, and there will be addresses ana
sermons by prominent and able men.
There was a-disastrous fire in the
mill villages of Spartanburg last
-. Monday. Sixty-one houses were destroyed
and 325 people are homeless,
jnthout food, clothing or household
effects.. The president of the mill
has appealed to the people of the city
for aid for the homeless operatives.
Charles F. Deal was shot and killed
at Blacksburg last Monday by
William Mills. Both parties are
white. It is claimed by Mills that
the cause of the killing was the in
timacy of Deal with his wife, and
that Deal had attacked him with a
knife. Circumstances do not seem
to bear him out, however. There
were no witnesses to the tragedy.
- /' Mr. Carnegie has offered Anderson
$12,500 for a library provided
the city will appropriate $1,250
annually for. its maintenance. Col.
J. N. Brown offers the library $5,000
as an endowment fund, $500 toward
buying a lot and $5,000 to take effect
after the death of his daughter if
the building is put close to the

NEGRO IN HER ROOM.
f Young Woman Awakened by Feeling
a Hand on Her Arm.
Columbia, March 23.?John Rich
arusuu, ayuuzig iiegiu, is HI J?UI HCIC
under the charge of attempting
criminal assault. Richardson was employed
in the home of a respectable
v family in this city, No 699 Taylor
street, and was allowed to sleep in
the kitchen. During last night or
about 2 o'clock this morning one of
the young ladies of the family, Miss
Leila Norton, was awakened by the
passage of a hand over her arm and
she cried out inv alarm. She was
deeping with her sister and they
soon had the household awake. The
negro escaped through a window,
the means of his entrance, as a
ladder had been placed against the
window. The negro was suspected,
but he was found on his pallet, at
least feigning sleep, if not asleep.
The matter was investigated at a
private hearing before Recorder
Stanley this morning and .the negro
was sent to jail to await trial at the
1 J- - * L iL. .L
regular term 01 court on uie cuai gc
of attempting criminal assault. He
is from Sumter and says he is about
16 years old, but looks to be older.
The affair has caused no excitement
whatever and was not known to many
persons in the city today.
The negro practically confesses his
intention in entering the room and
the situation looks rather dark for
him.
The oil mill at Woodruff was burned
Monday night, the fire starting
about one o'clock. The ginnery and
house for storing products were saved.
Loss $10,000 to $12,000. Dr.
L. H. Irby and his brother are the
. principal stockholders.
BONNOITT DECLARED INSANE.
Darlington Man who Shot Wife in
Charleston Sent to Asylum
Charleston, March 22 ?R. L.
Bonnoitt, who yesterday afternoon
seriously shot his wife and tried to
kill himself, was sent to Columbia
early this morning, having been
found insane by the physicians at
Roper hospital, where he was sent
from the police station. Solicitor
Jervey consented to the removal,
upon the showing made of his insanity.
Judge of Probate Bryan decided
that Bonnoitt was insane upon
testimony of physicians and signed
an order for his commitment to the
asylum.
The wounded wife of Bonnoitt is
still in a serious condition at the Riverside
infirmary. It can not yet be
said that she is out of dansrer and
whether or not she can live. She is
in a precarious condition.
The young wife who received the
bullet from the maniac's pistol, has
only been married four months. She
is the second wife of Bonnoitt.
When a boy it is said that he was
hit on the head and that the blow
made a clot of blood form on his
brain. This is supposed to have
caused his mental unbalancing. He
was a patient at the asylum some
years back, but was discharged as
cured. Yesterday he developed an
attack of insanity, with the terrible
results of the shooting. His brother,
Mr. Marion Bonnoitt, of Darlington,
was in Charleston today to see him.
Church News.
Rev. Peter Stokes, pastor of the
Methodist church in this city, wrote
the following letter to the Southern
Christian Advocate, and it appeared
in last week's issue of that paper:
"Last Sunday night we held the
closing service of a protracted meeting
in our church in Bamberg. For
three weeks Brothers Thos. Leitch
and Fred Marshall were with us, and
faithfully did their work. These
men do not spare themselves when
there is work to be done in saving
souls. It is no easy matter for a
man to preach from two to three
times every day and conduct the af
ter services too. inese oretnren
have been with me several times,
and I believe Brother Leitch preaches
better than ever, and works harder
than ever to bring people to
Christ.
"The results of this meeting were
large, and I am sure that much of it
will abide. I suppose that no meeting
ever results in all that we hope
and pray for, and this is no exception,
but we have so much that was
done to thank God for.
"A large number professed conversion,
and thirty-eight applied for
church membership. A large number
of the older members of the
church testified to the reviving of
their spiritual lives, and pledged
themselves to better service. The
good effects of the meeting extended
to other churches, and was felt in
the whole town. The youn& people
were to a marked degree helped by
the meeting. The pastor of the Baptist
church was with us from start
to finish, and greatly aided by his
presence and prayers and personal
work. The Baptist church in Bamberg
and in South Carolina was very
fortunate when Brother A. J. Foster
came to this pastorate.
"Our young people are looking
forward with great pleasure to the
coming of the Epworth Leaguers in
their State Conference. We hope to
have the best State Conference of all,
so far.
"The Sunday-school, with Prof. H.
G. Sheridan as superintendent, is
taking on new life. Even before
our good meeting, the attendance,
was nearing 200, and now we expect
still larger things.
"There is much to encourage us,
and we thank God for His blessings."
Darlington Han's Deed.
Charleston, March 21.?R. L.
Bonnoitt, of Darlington, shot his
wife and then stabbed himself this
afternoon while visiting at the home
e\t m*k2 R/vnnnitt's sister. Mrs. Laura
VI XU1 Ut w 7
E. Hertz, 34 Rutledge-avenue.
The act seems to have been done
during a temporary aberration of
the mind, as there was no apparent
cause for it. Mrs. Bonnoitt was
shot in the left side and is in a serious
condition. Bonnoitt has one
wound in the breast, which is not regarded
very seriously, having missed
his heart, although he seemed to
have tried for the fatal spot.
Bonnoitt was arrested and was later
removed from the station house
to the Roper hospital for the dressing
of his wound. He was sent back to
the station house, but again removed
to the hospital, as his mind seemed
affected and the latter place was better
suited for his condition. Mrs.
Bonnoitt is at the Riverside infirmary.

The date is governed by the moon.
It always comes on the seventh Sunday
after Ash Wednesday, which is
the first Wednesday after the full
moon in February. It has been thirteen
years since Easter came as
early as March 31. That was the
date of the celebration in 1894, and
since then the dates have been between
April 1 and 15. Last year
Easter Sunday was on April 15.
Easter will not come as early as
March 21 again until 1919 and not
again after that until 1920.
Last week our country afforded a
variety of weather. In Charleston
the temperature was reaching after
the 90 mark, while telegraphic service
was impeded in Montana and
Wyoming by snow and violent
storms.
CANT CLOSE DISPENSARY
I
ATTORNEY GENERAL LYON SAYS
BOARD HAS NO OPTION.
Must Keep Open All Dispensaries in
Operation Under the Old Law..
No Action Taken Yet.
When the dispensaries of Bamberg
County were reopened under the new
liquor law, the stock at the Midway
dispensary was moved toBamberg and
the dispensary at the former town
discontinued. The new county board
of control did not elect a dispenser
for that place, but decided to close
the dispensary at Midway, as it had
never been a paying proposition under
the old law. This action of the
board met with general approval, .
and it had been a source of comment I
in times past why the Midway dis- J
pensary was not closed, as it did no J
more than pay expenses if that.
But now it seems that the action ^
of the board is to be questioned and *
the matter may get into the courts. *
In Tuesday's daily papers the state- !
ment is made that Intendant H. 'W. 1
Walker, of Midway, wrote the attor- 3
ney general for his opinion as to the ]
right of the county board to close ?
the Midway dispensary. The attorney
general's reply was that if Mid- *
way was an incorporated town the
action of the county board in closing (
the dispensary was illegal. He says
there is no option in the matter, but T
that the board must continue all dis- r
pensaries which were in operation ;
on February 16th, 1907.
It is not known at this writing \
what steps\will be taken by the in- .
tendant of Midway to get a dispen- J
sary open in that town, or whether any j
further move will be made.
The county board has not yet had j
a meeting, and when we showed the ]
opinion of the attorney general to j
the chairman of the board, he show- J
ed a disposition to stand pat, and it is
reasonably certain that no dispensary
will be opened theffe unless through
process of law. The board feels that
they have no right to spend the J
money of the tax payers for a dis- 1
pensary at Midway, for they believe '*
that it will be a losing proposition.
And they are right. This newspaper '
heartily endorses the action of the ]
board in closing the dispensary at
Midway, and we believe they should '
not allow it to be re-opened. If the 1
ii ___ if ^ i.1 1 1
attorney general s opinion 01 tne law '
is correct, certain it is that the law
is fatally defective at this point, and <
in this instance we feel sure they are ?
exacty right in not following it. If <
the board is not to have full authority
over the dispensaries of a county, 1
there seems no reason for their ap- ]
pointment. They should certainly i
have the right to close a dispensary
when it was losing money. ?
It is the opinion. of able lawyers
that a county board has the 'right to
close the dispensaries, for the Carey- \
Cothran bill plainly says: "The said j
board is hereby authorized and re- j
quired to establish a dispensary or j
dispensaries,as said board may deem ]
proper, for the sale of alcoholic \
liquors and beverages as herein pro- (
vided, and may close any dispensary ,
so established, except the dispensary
at the county seat, when in their \
iudement the Dublic trood requires \
5t."~ * ~ "
Minnesota Preacher Wants Information.
"I am looking for light. Therefore
I appeal to you. Is the dispensary
liquor law of South Carolina a
success? Do you regard the recent
change in said law an improvement?
Any information you shall be pleased
to furnish will be most gratefully received."
This is the letter which Gov. Ansel
has received from a preacher of his
own church, Presbyterian, who lives
in Canby, Minn. Evidently the Presbyterian
brother knows as little about
Gov. Ansel as he does about the dispensary
law. He has not heard that
the governor's campaign platform is
embodied in the new dispensary law.
The governor sent him a copy of the
Carey-Cothran act stamped with his
approval.

The Circus and the Arabiin Steed. .
Homer Davenport, fresh from the -flM
Arabian desert, where he journeyed ^ ?
in the interests of the Woman's ':,J|
Home Companion, shatters toother
fond delusion of our circus days. 'He .-$
tells us in an article, "The Arab
Horse in Legend and Story," appear- ~/"I
ing in the April Woman's Home ;
Companion, that the piebald horses /J3r
jtilized in the tented shows are not
Arabs at all, but are products of Hie
iomestic field. But here is the trag- ,.3jj
ic story in his own words:
"Circuses are perhaps more to
blame for the misrepresentation of
te hArab horse than any other source.
A friend of mine owns a circus, and
[ saw his posters a few years ago,
claiming to exhibit eighteen or twen- ! ^
ty of the only Arabian horses brought ' %
to America. He said they were cap- ,
tured with great difficulty, and ^

ings in their spots of the tip of eagle >1

ters. In this case I am mighty cer- "':M
tain these 'spotted Arabians' were '1|
sought at Albany, Oregon. The
most peculiar part of this spottedlorse
business is this, and it is not a 'J?
/ery strange reason when you know
it, that spotted anything is created'
oy a mixture of different races, or
lifferent breeds, and that likely aclounts
for the fact that the Arabian
iesert in all its history has never ' M
produced a spotted, or piebald horse;
xwsibly from the fact that there is
lever any mixture of blood."
