' 7 THURSDAY, MARCH 12, W08. k: The dispensary matter seems to be getting all mixed up, but we suppose the attorneys do not ca^e how long the litigation continues. A Mndidatp for the office of Sheriff " ? p; in Calhoun county winds up his announcement in this manner: "Gentlef men, if I am elected I will do my duty, so help my God." A mighty ! good pledge, if he; will carry it out, once in office. Precious few do. 'V'V- , K f We congratulate Fitz McMaster on his election as insurance commissiong er. That he will discharged his duties faithfully and with ability all who V ?: know him will agree. But what he J; wants with a public job we can't unf" derstand. The salary does not tempt him, for he has been earning more than that, at least he is worth more. I We have received from Immigration Commissioner Watson his "Hand U. Book of South Carolina." It is a very ' interesting publication, and one of p:* the few public documents that we fe" have read in a long time. But we looked over the book carefully and ' found it entertaining as well as in | structive. The facts set forth about ff: the resources of South Carolina will certainly be of great benefit to the g?:' State if the volume is properly distributed Another son of Colleton we hope to* hear from as a candidate for some high office is Calvin W. Garris, of |y ;r Denmark. We believe there is good congressional timber in him.?Walterboro Press and Standard. We have heard it intimated that Mr. Garris will be a candidate for congress this year, but we have not been able to confirm the report. If he does enter the race, he will make it mighty |y interesting, and our opinion is that the man who defeated him would be W. congressman. %;''X A. number of editors who are not V members of the general assembly v have criticised that body rather severely as to the results of the recent session. Other editor?legislators, or at least some them, have defended the acts of the body, and we have ?; seen no criticism of the legislature from any newspaper man who was a ; fe member. As the number of those who have criticised is considerably j greater than those who have defend ? ed, is it not fair to presume that 1 m those editors who have occupied the role of defenders would have been ; critics had they not been members? j ? - v . We have no criticism to make of 1 the legislature for electing Frank B. Gary, of Abbeville, as United States Senator for the unexpired term of Senator Latimer. He cannot be of * any great benefit to the State or na- 5 v , tion in the short time of service, and 3 anybody of ordinary intelligence could 1 have filled the place equally as well. But it must be remembered that Mr. j Garyhasbeenrepuidated by the voters of the State time and again, and has always been defeated when he ran ] for a State office. His election does . not mean that he i3 strong through- j out South Carolina, ana he owes nis < elevation to the fact that he was a member of the legislature. Simply this and nothing more. The longer we are in the newspaper business the more firmly do we become convinced that any sort of a public position hampers an editor in the discharge of his duty to his readers and the community. An editor x has a line of duty which should be followed, that is if his paper is to be of service to its county and State, and ] he cannot do his work half so well if he allows himself to form entangling s alliances of any kind?political or otherwise. In other words, if you are going to be a newspaper editor you must be that and only that. For in- , stance, the newspapers of the State [ generally have criticised as a whole 1 the work of the recent session of the general assembly, while the few news- J paper men who were members of the ] body defend it. i We cannot attempt to discuss the course of Judge Pritchard in a legal way, but even were his action not an unwarranted interference with the affairs of a sovereign State, it is indefensible on the sole ground that the liquor men no doubt expect him to be a great deal more lenient with them than the dispensary commission was disposed to be. The attorneys representing the whiskey interests evidently expect fair sailing in Judge Pritchard's court. One who is familiar with the practices in dispensary affairs in the past in this State will not wonder at the anxiety of the whiskey sellers to get out of the hands of the commission. But we do not expect to see the settlement 01 dispensary matters taken out of the hands of the commission. The whiskey houses who are now fighting the 1 commission and incidentally the State 1 so hard will finally have to come in < and beg for mercy. , ' ( MOODY'S SLAYER TO BE HANGED. Judge Aid rich, at Darlington, Sen- < tences Negro to Die on Gallows. < Darlington, March 5.?Gaddy ' Graham, colored, was found guilty in i the court of general sessions to-day ( on the charge of having murdered P. Furman Moody, white, on the 18th ' day of November last, and was sen- < tenced by Judge Robert Aldrich to be ( hanged on Friday, the first day of May, 1908. The trial of the case con- ' sumed all the morning hours of the < court, and the jury after deliberating , nearly four hours, reached the ver- . diet of guilty. " . P. Furman Moody, a white man 33 years of age, vas out hunting, near his' home on the 18th day of November, and on his way home, after the day's hunt and as he was passing the corn field of Mr. Bright Williamson, he heard some one breaking corn; ai\d it being too dark to see who it was he hailed and demanded to know who was there. The reply was that it was Isaiah Bostick. Moody then ordered him to come with him, which the person agreed to do, begging Moody not to shoot him. While the person was approaching Moody, and while Moody was off of his guard owing to the promises made, a shot was fired, striking Moody in the side, and from which he died a week or ten days later. Bostick was arrested, . but the circumctances, etc. made it i almost certain that he had nothing to do with the matter, and he was released. Following up several clues Gaddy Graham was arrested. He was seen near about the place on the evening of the killing in company with a ne- I gro woman, named Minow Campbell. She was questioned as to her know- J ledge of the affair, and she told that < she and Graham were there together, J and that it was Graham that shot < QVio o afrQiorViHVirwnrH ' 1UVAAIJT U1AV l/VAU M> n story, which was strongly corroborated by circumstances. At any rate it satisfied the jury that beyond a reasonable doubt Graham was guilty as charged. Graham denied in a well- . told story that he was guilty. Pastor Was Black. Wheeling,W. Va., March 7.?'The Baptists of St. Albans are without a pastor: They advertised for one, received an answer, made a contract, and when the new leader of the flock arrived; he was of the wrong color. Ten days after the advertisement appeared, a letter came from St. ' Louis from Rev. A. R. Stallings, who said he was a Baptist of the old school 1 and could give the best of references. He was hired, a banquet was ar- ? panged in his honor, but when thene- t gro appeared both he and the com- j mittee realized they had made a mis- c take. He returned on the next c train. t s Questions on Marriage. f 1. What is marriage? Marriage is c in institution for the blind. 2. Why do some people never mar- s ry?

Training a Young Shepherd Dog In the Care of Stock. To make a success Id training the collie puppy we must be willing to use both time and patience. Tie must first learn to come at call and come at once, not hesitatingly or doing so unwillingly. When he is called he should know that he is to obey, and while he is being taught this if he is favored with bits of cooked meat or cake and a friendly pat upon the head be will readily understand and do as he is bidden gladly. Never scold or whip him at this period. for ^forced obedience done in a A GOOD COLLIE. [Waiting for his master's word.] sneakish way cannot be depended upon. No dog can be expected to obey gracefully when he knows the whip is waiting for him. Gain his confidence by kind treatment and his training will be an easy matter. If he looks for a favor or kindness at his master's hand he comes to him full of animation and spirit ready to help If wanted. Good work cannot be secured if the dog is harshly treated. If he is under good control in this way he can at once be checked when he makes errors in his work Instead of going on and making things worse. Than to come to call at once there is nothing more important for a useful dog to know?to leave all else and heed his master's call. Then teach him to drive at the heel, keeping him in check close by your side while you do the driving, so that he may become accustomed to drive at the rear or heel. Persist in this until he gets the habit well formed, and do not undertake to teach him to head off or turn the stock to right or left until he Is a sure driver at the heel. Then he can be taught easily any desired ways of handling the stock, only go slowly, step by step, not trying to accomplish the impossible in turning out a fully trained dog in a few days. ' Often a cord is used in restraining the dog if he is overanxious to force the stock, and in some cases it may be necessary to continue its use until he has given up his fault of going to the head. A headstrong or vicious steer turning upon the puppy would cause him to fight at the head and so get this habit, for which reason we advise avoiding such kind of stock in the early training. If the dog is kept on a chain or in a small kennel yard it is well that he should have a bit of freedom before attempting to keep him under control, it being much easier to manage him after a short run, says Lothian In giving, tne roregoing auvicw In the Breeder's Gazette, Chicago. O O NEWS AND VIEWS. o o The Merino sheep industry In Vermont is again entering an era of prosperity that presages a boom, according to an exchange. While by no means j approaching the palmy days of thirty; years ago, the industry Is reviving, and each year for a decade past has shown j an increase in shipments of fancy strains of Merino breeding sheep to Africa and Australia. Within ten years past the bulk of the shipments have been to the Transvaal, in South Africa, and the leading Boer farmers are today breeding Addison county sheep almost exclusively. Nebraska's Stretchy Hog. We compliment the swine breeders of Nebraska on the wisdom they are showing in their breeding operations. They have not been carried away by pedigree fads, and today they are producing what one might call a profitable farmer's hog. It is onr honest conviction that no state in the corn belt shows so many useful hogs as are seen at the Nebraska state fair. They combine scale with a large degree of quality. We concede that as you go east there will be found rather more quality, but the reduction in scale, in our opinion, more than offsets this superior quality. Men who are breeding bogs and feeding them out for the meat market are calling for stretchy hogs, and the fine stock breeders of Nebraska are just wise enough to satisfy this demand. No doubt the remarkable scale that is found in Nebraska hogs is to some extent the result of the free use of that splendid flesh forming food, - - ? m -i-i alfalfa. It makes Done ana duuos uw frame, says Iowa Homestead. Intensive Farming. Dr. B. C. Swltzer, a veterinary surgeon of Springfield. Mass., has a fourteen acre farm within the city limits on which he keeps thirty horses and cattle ? blooded Guernseys and Ayrshires. It Is needless to say that he makes the land produce three times as much as ordinary farm land, using the latest machinery and quickest methods. In fact ten acres support the thirty head. ' Rye, sorghum, millet sugar cane and corn are raised, three crops In a season. On a three acre plat o4 rye thirty tons were cut The six acres of corn this year Is estimated to yield 300 tons. As much as possible goes Into silo; the rest Is stacked.

C., gives the particulars | of a sensational shooting there last ; evening of a young woman, Miss Ida i Franklin, who is well known in the I Laurel Hill section of Buncombe j county, by Miss Parseda Shelton of i the same locality. j It seems that the shooting is the re; suit of enmity arising between the : two former friends over the love of a young man with whom both were infatuated. Miss Shelton, hearing , that Miss Franklin had been "talking about ner, wcut iu uic uuwc vx uxc iaxwi i with the purpose of securing a peiv sonal interview about the matter. When she appeared she was refused ; admittance to the Franklin home and the door "was slammed"-in Miss i Shelton's face. | The former thereupon drew a pistol and fired through the door, the bullet l striking Miss Franklin in the breast, making a dangerous wound: Miss Shelton soon crossed over the Tennessee state line and today she is under arrest there awaiting requisition papers to take her to Ashevifie. PASSENGER RATE PLAN ADOPTED. Railroad Commission Win Allow Short Lines to Charge Three Cents. Columbia, March 5.?The railroad commission has been in session since Tuesday morning hearing arguments from the thirty different railroads doj ing business in this State as to passenger rates. The Southern system, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Charles-' ! ton and Western Carolina and the - A ft Blue Kidge Kaiiroaas win arter Apra 1, operate a 2? cent fare, flat rate, with mileage books as has been herein before reported, j An important decision was to-day rendered in relation to the Blue Ridge Railroad. The commission decided that the Blue Ridge Railroad was part of the Southern system and, therefore, must operate the same mileage. Nineteen short lines were heard from. The commission has decided to allow these short lines to operate the same rate as now prescribed by law, viz, 3 cents per mile?these are independent railroads and make a very poor showing before the commission. The Seaboard Air Line and the Co11 ? XT?n.V>/%m.ir on/1 T.annong VlitVP lumuia, 1KW UCX 1 Jf auu . asked the commission to allow them to operate the local 3-cent rate on condition that they put in all mileage books that are set forth in the orders to the Southern, Atlantic Coastline, etc. This has been taken under advisement by the commission and they expect to investigate the matter thoroughly and after the investigation make their report and deliver their order in the matter. j Banks Served With Order. / Anderson, March 9.?At the instance of Marshal Adams, copies of Judge Pritchard's order, placing the funds of the dispensary into the hands rrrara fftHov QCTUpH on U1 I CtCl VCiiJ, nviv WVK.^ WW- ? w_ the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of Anderson and on the People's Savings Bank of Anderson by Deputy McAdams.
