The dispen? - * ' ? ll A _ ? sary at Camden sold lor tne quarter $19,106.90 of w&iskey and the Bethune dispensary $4,050.80; making a total of $23,187.73. The profit^ from Camden dispensary, $5,512.28, Bethune, . $1,225.80; total profits, $6,738.17. This amount has been equally divided between the towns, county and schools. The expense account was $2,084.76. Of this amount $500.00 was paid out in attorney's fees,, in an effort to fasten the dispensary upon the people of the county, after a majority had voted to close it up. We do not knoW upon what legal grounds the dispensary profits can be expended in employing attorneys to try to save its life upon technical grounds; still more difficult would it be to find a moral right. Suppose one of our county officials would be defeated for re-election in the next election, and after he had been defeated he decided to enter a protest, what legal or moral right would he have to call upon the county treasurer to pay his attorney's fee? None whatever. However the dispensary spends hundreds of dollars in lawyer's fees in fighting the will of the people.. But this . will not save it?it is doomed. The chances are that at the next SeSSlCIl OX IDC lC{$i5iatuic uit uwyvu saries will all be upset, and if not, next summer men who will represent the wishes of their constituents will be nominated. Many want a State wide prohibition law passed, others will be content if the situation is reverted, allowing those counties that may want a dispensary to get up the petition for dispensary instead of those who want to get rid of the dispensary. At any rate this modern Jericho of evil must be taken. ?Wateree Messenger. CONVICT A MANIAC. Spartanburg Prisoner Lost Mind While at Work on the Roads. Spartanburg, October 30.?Lewis Nicholls, a young white man who is serving a sentence at the county stockade, having been convicted of | bigamy, is a raving maniac in the county jail. He will be sent to the ? asylum within the next few days. Nicholls lost his mind while at work on the county chain gang and was brought to the city and lodged in jail for safe keeping. r***Hnber*t^c! || (?t?estnut (Tree* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA What He Wanted. i The young man from the country i took his green necktie and his best girl into a restaurant, and, like some other young men, he was disposed to be facetious at the waiter's expense. ! "Waiter," he said, "I want you to bring me a broiled elephant." "Yessir," replied the waiter, perfectly unmoved. "And, waiter, bring it on toast." | "Yessir." Then he stood there like a statue for a minute; "Well," said the young man, "are you not going to bring it?" "Yessir." "Why don't you, then?" I "Orders is, sir, that we get pay in advance for elephants, sir. Elephants on toast, sir, are five thousand dollars and ten cents. If you take it without toast, sir, it is only five thousand dollars, sir." The waiter did not smile, but the girl did, and the young man climbed down. No Place for Him Here. j ''Your honor," said a prosecuting attorney in a backwoods court, "the prisoner at the bar is charged with killing one of the most exemplary citizens of this county. Thomas Jones, your honor, was in every respect a model man. He was a member of the church; he was never Known to bet on horses, play poker, drink whiskey or use tobacco. He"? "Hold on a minute," said the judge. "You say he never bet on a horse?" "That's what I said, your honor." "Never was known to play a game?" "Never, your honor." "And he never drank whiskey?" "Never drank a drop in his life." "And he didn't chew tobacco?" "Never took a chew in his life." . "Well, then," said the judge, "I don't see what he wanted to live for. There wasn't anything in life for him, and I don't see why he aint about as well off dead as alive. Release the prisoner, Mr: Sheriff, and call the next case."?Nashville American. Preferred Age. \ "Yes," said the old man, addressing his visitor, "I am proud of my girls and should like to see them all comfortably married, and as I have made a little money they won't go to their husbands penniless There's Margaret, 25 years old and a real good girl. I shall give her a thousand pounds when she marries. Then comes Bet, who won't see 35 again, and she'll have two thousand, and the man who takes Dora, who is 40, will have three thousand with her." The young man reflected a moment or so and then nervously inquired: "You haven't one about 50, have you?" > Good Enough For Him. There is a colored preacher in Mobile who has no sympathy with the modern doctrines of some of his white brethren. One Sunday evening, after preaching a long sermon bearing upon the "good old fashioned religious ideas," the divine paid his" compliments to the "newfangled religion" in no uncertain terms. Finally, he pounded the pulpit and wound up with: "An' breddren, I wish to say that when all is said and done the hell of my fathers is good enough for me." "What does your father do to earn his living?" asked a New York principal of a pupil who was being admitted. "Please, ma'am, he doesn't live with us; mamma supports me." "Well, then, how do?s your mother earn her living?" "She gets paid for staying away from papa," replied the child artlessly.?Harper's Weekly. * A clergyman had been displeased for some time with the quality of miljc served him. At length he determined to remonstrate with his milkman for supplying such weak stuff. He began mildly: "I've been waiting to see you in regard to the quality of milk which you are serving me." "Yes sir," uneasily answered the tradesman. "I only wanted to say," continued the minister, "that I use the milk for drinking exclusively, and not for christening." ' TOO riANY WIVES. Cleve Bryant, of Spartanburg, Has Wives in Five bifferent States. Spartanburg, Oct. 30?Cleve Bryant, a young white man who is monfo^ in AloKomo r*n tV?p r?hnr(rp rvf vvaiiw^u in xjuuuuiAiM v** M*V 0w v* bigamy, was lodged in the county jail Monday night to await the arrival of an officer from that state. He says he will return without requisition papers. Bryan is accused of having too many wives. He married in this county about 12 years ago, and it is said that he has married four times since he first entered into matrimony. Wife No. 1 lives in this county, wife No. '5 in Alabama, while his other wives are said to be scattered about in different states. His arrest was made on complaint of wife No. 6, in Alabama, who is said to be a member of a- well-to-do family. , ? * GALVESTON SWEPT BY STORM. Twenty Frame houses Demolished and One Person Killed. Galveston, Tex., October 30.?A j northwest storm of short duration, with heavy rain, passed over this1 city early to-day. The wind attain- j ed a velocity of 72 miles an hour for | two minutes. About 20 frame houses j were blown down, one woman being, killed in a falling structure. It is es j timated 20 persons were injured in I the western part of the city, where | the wind was severe. Several business houses were unroofed and the stocks of goods were slightly damaged by water. The Mallory wharf shed was damaged to the extent of several thousand dollars. A few cars in the railroad yards were blown from the track. The gulf remained normal. There was no interruption to traffic. She WUI Die a Widow. All the fashionables in Burlington, N. J., an old and aristocratic town, are laughing at the rencontre which a matronly widow, who lives on Federal street there, forced upon herself. The widow although well known, is best described by this "personal," which she placed in the Philadelphia newspaper: "A lady of mature age, but looking young and feeling. so; a tall blonde, imposing and graceful, and at the same time, well-to-do, desires to marry. Address The lady, who is not older than she feels, chose her affinity from the writers of many letters she received. Quickly an interview was arranged? she wearing a bunch of lilies-of-the valley in*her corsage, was to wait at the Pennsylvania Railroad station; he with a red, red rose in his coat lapel, was to arrive on the 9.37 a. m. New York express, eastbound, yes l/CI UOJ The widow, looking extremely youthful and handsome, waited at the ch? the station; the express stopped; from a car dropped her stalwart son. j "Hello, mother," he cried, "what are you doing here?" Next instant he saw the bunch of lilies-of-the-valley; she, the rose he wore. She blushed far redder than the rose and was seized with an opportune fit of coughing, which could not hide her confusion, however. "I?I got?off to?to get a paper," stammered her son, who is about 23 years old, a gay young fellow employed in Philadelphia. He rushed to the news-stand, grabbed a paper, and scrambled aboard the last coach as the train pulled out. His mother tore the lilies from her corsage, threw them" on the platform and ground them under her heel. "I will die a widow," she has since said to intimate, "confidential" female friends. Fight to Stop Hazing. Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 30.?A recent case of hazing at the State Agricultural and Mechanical college here caused President Winston of that college to reprove the student body, and in his remarks he commended a manly fight in the open, with man to man in the contest. As the result of this the freshmen class of the college sent a challenge to the sophomores to meet them for a tussle on the athletic field and with about 75 on each side there was a mass fight Wednesday afternoon but the match passed off without injury to any one. This afternoon, however, the sophomores invited the freshmen to battle, and the result was many injured in the encounter. There were 65 on a side, and the noses of four cadets wef e broken, a number of eyes were blackened and many faces scratched. It is understood that another fight will take place tomorrow. The opposing sides' line rush at each other, and fight at will, no fighting on the ground being allowed. President Winston and Lieut. Young, U. S. A., the commandant, think this will do away with the hazing. Many friends of the college here condemn the innovation. REV. S. H. ZIMMERMAN. An Able and Successful flethodJst Minister Passes Away.

Samuel Herbert Zimmerman, financial agent of Columbia college and statistical secretary of the South Carolina conference, Methodist Episcopal church, South, died Wednesday morning of last week at 2:45 o'clock at his home in Columbia. ! Mr. Zimmerman leaves his wife, formerly Miss Elizaebeth Simpson Jones, and four children. The funeral services were conducted from the Main Street Methodist church Thursday afternoon by the Rev. H. B. Brown, presiding elder of Columbia district. The interment was at Elmwood cemetery. Doesn't Know Where He is Going. New Haven, Conn.?Phineas G. Wright has had his grave reopened at Putnam, to place a case of whisky besides the coffin, which has been in the crave more than a vear. await ing its occupant. He is 75 years old. Several years ago he caused a granite block to be placed over the grave, with his bust carved on it. The cut of the whiskers did not please Wright, and he caused the sculptor to trim the stone enough to conform with his hirsute adornment.
