The sentiment in this county seems
to be against the repeal of the lien
. law, so far as we have been able to
gather. v
If public officials would spend the
public money as carefully as they
|i; spend their own, it would be only a
r short time until taxes could be reduced
all over the State.

a lot of money by their investiga|||v

~i:* The bill introduced in the house of
r representatives by Hon. C. W. Garris,
which is to prevent the introduction
& - of the Mexican boll weevil into this
State, is a very wise measure, and it
j|; is to be hoped it will become law.
There seems to be a general disposition
to xgive Attorney General
fc- Lyon credit for the dispensary reV
.velations, but the credit seems to us
p- to be due the members of the comP
mission and the Georgia lawyers hired
Lv by them. As a graft finder Mr. Lyon
|l: is rather a failure.
We do not know what our legis|J
;; lative delegation will do in regard to
$ county affairs, but if they will legis1
late so as to stop the leaks in our
county government they will deserve
jp. the well done of the tax payers. They
V may alienate some of their political

& who bear the burden of taxation will
? be pleased. The fact is that the ex||pv,
penses of Bamberg are entirely too
high for such a small county and
E should be reduced.
Liquor Graft Exposed.
$ K In the hearing before the State
^ dispensary commission last Friday,
^, the representative of the Paul Jones
' Distilling Company testified that his
Kk house had overcharged the State $2
& a case on liquors, but he gave no explanation
why the overcharge was
made. The question is, who got the
fi:$2 a case?
? The Augusta Brewing Company
jg stated that they had overcharged
I V $125 a car on beer, this amount bepi.%
ing paid to Adolph Shayer, of Laur$
f . ens, and their other agents in this
;* State. They did not know who got
& this money, but they had to pay to
get orders from the State dispensary,
? and they added the amount paid to
? the price of goods shipped.
The Savannah Brewing Company
also admitted that they charged the
m ~ dispensary more than other customers.
The overcharge of this firm
was $1 a case and 50 cents a keg.
None of the houses will divulge the
names of the parties to whom they
p- paid this money, or graft. .

A Long Time.

On visiting the city of Philadelphia
some time ago, a greenhorn Irishman
went to the Quaker church to
hear what he thought would be a
fine sermon. After the chief elder
had preached a short piece, a young
I man sitting directly behind the Irishman,
arose and cried out, "I am
married.'' About two minutes later
> he arose again and said, "Oh, how
happy I am to think I married a
daughter of the Lord." The Irishman
by this time thought he was

Adam was naming the animals.
/"What are you going to call this
one?" asked Eve, pointing to the
striped little specimen that came
next. I am not going to call it at all,"
said Adam, holding his nose," Send
it away!" This is why the skunk is
known by so many different names.

CRACKSMEN HELD FOR TRIAL.
Men Arrested at Van Wyck Given Preliminary
Hearing.
Lancaster, Jan. 30.?J. T. Leonard,
C. Frank Shaw, James Scanlan,
Charley Williams^and Henry S. HalIon,
the alleged safe crackers who
have been in jail at this place since
their arrest at Van Wyck, this county,
a month ago, were given a preliminary
hearing before United
States Commissioner Paul Moore today.
The charge was robbery of the
postoffice at Dunn, N. C., on Dec. 28,
1907. The examination was conducted
by United States Postoffice Inspectors
Gregory, Bulla and Mosby.
A large number of witnesses in and
near Dunn and Smithfield, N. C.,
were in attendance at the hearing.
The witnesses for the government
? ktr fkn o
were an ausi-cAtuinucu vj
cused, the questions being mainly asked
by Scanlan, who never took his
right hand from his mouth to keep a
snap shot picture from being taken
of him. The evidence against them
was that when captured shortly after
the robbery at Dunn they had in
their possession dynamite caps, fuse,
soap and other, articles used in cracking
safes. It was also found that
they were all seen in and near Dunn
a short time before the robbery. At
the conclusion of the hearing the
commissioner announced that he
would send the case up to the United
States court for trial.
The defendants would not make
any statement excepting Henry S.
Hall on, a one-armed man, who claimed
that the evidence was not sufficient
to hold him. At the conclusion
of the hearing before United States
Commissioner Moore, Magistrate W.
P. Caskey read the warrant against
them in the State court under therecent
act making it an offense to have
explosives for safe cracking purposes
in possession. The prisoners all
waived a preliminary hearing and
the magistrate thereupon announced
that he would send the cases to the,
circuit court for trial.
Accused of Serious Crime.
Laurens, February 2.?Yesterday
afternoon the police authorities turned
over to the sheriff Lawrence
Hunter, a young white man, who is
charged with attempted criminal assault
on a small white child in this
city Friday afternoon. Hunter was
arrested for disorderly conduct and
was about to be released on bond
when the charge of assault was made
against him and he was immediately
committed to jail.
The parents of the little girl were
absent Nwhen Hunter visited their
home and knew nothing of his conduct
until some time afterward.
Hunter seems to have been drinking,
but he denies stoutly the more serious
offense.

Battlefield Logic.
Among the men who served with
Roosevelt's Rough Riders in Cuba was
a little Dutch Jew, who, according to
the men in his own troop, was "the
very incarnation of cool, impudent
bravado in a fight." He was a consistent
fatalist.
One day he observed a comrade
dodging a spent bullet that had whistled
uncomfortably close to him.

The Cotton Harket.
Xhe price of cotton has declined
somewhat since last week. Very little
is coming to market. Good cotton
would bring 11| cents. The staple of
that being sold now is very poor.
"Your father is in politics," said
I the stranger, "is he not?" "Yeh,"
replied the boy, "but mom thinks
he's gittin' cured of it." "How do
you mean?" "Why his stommick has
gone back on him an' he can't drink

Our New York Letter.
"As many as I love, I rebuke and
chasten."
Often a text learned in childhood
has come back to the grown man and
changed the whole current of his
life. The verse quoted above did
more than this. In bringing a man
to his right self, and his God, it forged
the first link in a golden chain
which promised to be as endless as it
is useful.
Years ago, when a boy, Charles N.
Crittenton learned that verse in Sunday-school?later
he came to New^
York and for a time forgot it.
When he left his Western New
York State home at the age of twenty
with sixty dollars in his pocket, a
country youth's industrial training,
EU1Q a nnn ueiitM. in uic uj^hhj w I
labor, young Crittenton meant to be
3, succesful business man. Not above
ivork, he invested his small capital in
druggists' sundries and himself sold
his goods to the retail trade of New
York City and vicinity. In this way, :
the present wholesale drug business
on Fulton street was founded.
It was after years of industry had ]
wroughts)rosperi ty that grief came
to the Crittenton home on Fifth avenue.
Death entered and robbed the
happy household of a dear little ;
girl.
The loving father rebelled. i
In business zeal he had forgotton
the equally fervent service due the
Lord, and he could not understand
why Florence should have been taken
from him. For months, gloom pervaded
the home and shadowed the
father's heart. Until one day, the
text learned so long ago recurred to
him: "As many_as I love, I rebuke
and chasten." With the words came
the thought, "You can go to her."
Soon ttie dark way seemed plain
and easy, for the man was willing to
follow wheresoever the Lord led, and
with willingness, light and peace
shone on every side. He could and
would go to Florence, who had only
gone before, and he would not go
alone. That spirit of industry which
had worked out his wordly prosperity
was now transmitted into zeal in
the Lord's service.
His mind, trained along practical
lines, at once sought and tried to
remedy the defects of ordinary missionary
work. Hearing a night
worker in the slums urge unfortunate
girls to "go and sin no more," Mr.
Crittenton realized the futility of
such a command unless they were
told where to go. He promptly
planned to provide such a place, so
that the strongest temptation to return
to the old haunts would be removed.
TKllO TT7QC fnrored the first link in I
J.UUW nuw ??
the chain of Florence Crittenton
Homes. Since the first mission was
opened at 29 Bleecker street (since
removed to 21-23 Bleecker street, its
present location) twenty-four years
ago, the chain has been extended link
by link through sixty cities of the
United States and in Japan, France,
and Mexico. r
The doors of these mission homes
are never closed. Unfortunate women
and girls who really want to do
better, or who can be induced to try,
are always welcomed and helped both
spiritually and materially. Thousands
of repentant girls now bless the memory
of Florence Crittenton, the text
which led her father back to his God,
and his visit to the slums and its beneficial
results. H. W. Finlayson.

Portugal's King Killed.
Kin# Carlos of Portugal and the
crown t>rince,*Luis Phillipe, were assassinated
on the streets of Libson on
Saturday while going in their carriage
from the railway station to the
palace. As the carriage turned the
corner of a street a band of men who
had been waiting with carbines hidden
under their coats sprang suddenly
out and fired a number of
shots. The king was shot in three
places a^d the crown prince in three.
The second son was wounded in two
places, though not seriously. The
queen was not hurt.
. The royal guard accompanying the
carriage returned the fire, killing
three of the assassins; three others
were captured.
The second son, Manuel, has been
proclaimed King.
Sawed to Freedom.
Atlanta, Feb. 3.?With four sroall
saws, mysteriously furnished from
the outside, John Harper, waiting
death on the gallows for the murder
of the sheriff of Murray county, and
George Barton, the alleged professional
safe cracker, early this
morning sawed the bars from a third
floor window in the tower, let themselves
down to freedom by means of
four spliced blankets and vanished.
The jail officials are satisfied that
the fugitives had outside assistance,
both in getting out of the prison and
getting away after the escape.

KILLING AT MANNING.
Negro Boy Shot to Death at a Dance ,
Thursday Night.
Manning, January 31.?A colored i
youth, named Walter Davis, was shot 1
and killed at a dance held in Fursten- 1
burg hall, at this place, last night.
The pistol ball, a 38 calibre, entered j
through the bridge of the nose and
ranged along the base of the brain to
the back of the skull, causing death,
in about fifty minutes.
From the evidence elicited at the
coroner's inquest today it appears
that young Davis and another young
negro namea David DeLaine, each
went to tne dance carrying a pisun,
and that while the dance was in progress
Davis was sitting on a table
talking to a girl named May Dickie,
when Davis was shot with the pistol,,
that DeLaine had carried. This took
place upstairs, and after the shooting
the pistol that Davis had carried was
found, so it was said, among some
trash on the ground at the back of
the hall. At fi/st eveiy one present
claimed to know nothing as to how
the tragedy happened, but from what
evidence could be obtained at the inquest,
the jury found that "Walter
Davis came to his death by a pistol
shot in the hand of David DeLaine,
May E. Dickie accessory."
Walter Davis was a son of Willis
Davis, the well known mail carrier,

Both David 1 DeLaine and May

held to await action of the grand
jury. The court of general sessions
will convene hereon Monday, Feb. 10.
Receiver for Whitney Co.
Asheville, N. C., Feb. 3.?Judge
Pritchard in the United States cii/- '
cuit court today granted the petition
of A. 0. Browne & Co. for the appointment
of a receiver for the Whit- i
ney company of Rowan county, near
Salisbury. Judge Pritchard named
Col. John S. Henderson as receiver.,
The Whitney company has been developing
water powers at a point
called The Narrows, 20 miles below J
Salisbury, where alreadyi$5,000,000
has been spent. The company was
threatened by creditors and to protect
all interests a receiver was asked
for. Work has been in progress for
three years and it is expected that
the plant would be completed and in
operation by July 1, 1908. One
thousand men were employed there
until recently when the force was cut
- - * - ^ xL _
to 400. It was tne purpose 01 toe
company to supply electric power to
the Piedmont section of North Carolina
within a radius of 75 miles of
the plant. The receiver will take active
control and complete the work
and the company will be reorganized.
Governor Hughes, of New York,
will be candidate for the Republican
nomination for president.
Hoke Smith says that he will not be
a candidate for the United States
Senate, but will seek re-election as
governor of Georgia. A wise decision.
The New Amsterdam National 1
bank, capitalized at $1,000,000, and
the Merchants' and Traders bank,
ranitalized at $2,000,000, both in New
York city, closed their doors last
week.
Harry K. Thaw was found not
guilty of the murder of Stanford
White, on the ground of insanity at
the time of the shooting. He has
been sent to an insane asylum, but of
course he will soon be released.
