The Dispensary Reports.
The quarterly reports of the dispensary
at Camden and Bethune were
published last week, and showed a
big volume of business. 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.

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.

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.
After a long illness from typhoid
fever, the Rev. 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. The inscription below
the name reads:
"Going, but know not where."
