THURSDAY, APRIL 2, M8.
Thirty-seven drunks faced the recorder
in the city of Augusta last
Monday morning. This is a fearful
redord for a prohibition town.
We notice that several bright
young newspaper men in different
sections of the State are preparing to
break mto the legislature. What a
pity!
The Dorchester Eagle came to us
last week as a five-column eight page
- paper, all home print. We congratulare
our contemporary on its prosperity.
The annual meeting of the South
Carolina State Press Association is to
\ be held in Gaffney the 15th, 16th, and
V 17th of June, 'and we know old JJeCamp
and the Parrott boys and all
the people of Gaffney will take us to
their bosoms and treat us royally all
B; ' round.
April 1st is here, and the rule of
the postoffice department as to sendpt
ing newspapers op credit is in effect.
My, what a dwindling of subscription
lists there'will be with some newspapers.
They had better obey the law,
|^v; too, as "Uncle Sam" is a dangerous
fellow to monkey with. It does not
,affect this newspaper to any extent,
pnd we gladly welcome the change.
We are ready for the inspector whenever
he calls, and our books are open
to him.
EDITORS IN POLITICS.
For some-reason our copy of the
Beaufort Gazette has not been reaching
us recently, and therefore^ did
not see the excellent article of our
I,- friend Christensen in reference to
newspaper men in politics until we
saw it in the Abbeville Press and
;r Banner of last week.
Tltowj om olnroxrc tmr\ cirloc tn Q

' question, and Senator Christensen
has made an able argument against
y the position taken by us, yet he ad- i
mits that there was a great deal of 1
t truth in our article,
g Senator Christensen is one of the |
| few newspaper men who have hot
g been "ruined" by going into politics, ]
and in his case it appears to us that !
his newspaper connection has rather (
been of benefit to him in his legisla- <
tive and investigating duties. In the
main, the position taken by this newspaper,
i. e., that newspaper men
should not go into politics, is correct, i
* but there are exceptions in all mat- 1
<: ters, and Senator Christensen is a j
iy' most notable exception. \
We might also mention our good 1
friend Col. E. H. Aull, of Newberry,
as another instance of the added ser- j
vice an editor can give to his State ,
by going into politics. Col. Aull has 1
been a member of the house for sev- <
eral terms, and is one of the leaders 1
in the body. He is now a member of }
the ways and means committee, and <
one of its hardest-working, most val- s
uable members. We believe that ?
there is still further and higher publie
service to which Aull and Christen- ]
sen will be called by the people.
But after all, the safest rule for
editors to follow is to take the advice
of Col. Jas. T. Bacon, of the Edgefield
Chronicle. He says: "My son,
shun politics as you would the devil."
Getting Even.
"No, I don't believe in expensive *
nractical inkes." said a San Francisco !
business man, "except by way of retaliation."
"Now last year I received a telegram
from a friend who was traveling
in Italy. It came collect and cost
me seven dollars; and when I opened .
it, all I read was, 'Thank you, I am
well.' 1
"Then I sallied forth and sought
me out a cobblestone?a nice, large
cobblestone weighing about eleven
pounds. And I wrapped it in ex- <
celsior, pink cotton and white paper, i
and I boxed it up in a handsome box; i
and I sent it by express, collect, to c
my facetious friend far across the 1
bounding billows. t
"And when he had paid his little
fifteen dollars, and had opened the '<
box in St. Petersburg, if I remember i
rightly, he found in addition to the j
precious contents a note from me s
that explained, 'This is the load that a
rolled off my heart on receipt of the
news of your good health.' "-Wo- man's

HEROIC WOMAN*
Goes Into Burning Building to Save
Children.
New York, March 27.?Two trips
by a brave woman into a burning flat
house in Borough Park last night resulted
in the rescue of five children,
who unconscious of their danger,
were playing happily in a room as yet
untouched by the flames. The rescuer
was a stranger, Mrs. Lila Raymond,
who was passing the house
when the fire started, rang in an
I alarm and then ran back to the house,
i She hnrst in the front door and dash
ed upstairs, finding Mrs. Joseph Lock,
whom she led through the smoke to
the street.
Mrs. Lock then awoke to a realization
that her three children were
still in the building, which by this
time was in a blaze. Mrs. Raymond
ran back into the house up to the
second story, carried out two of the
little ones, an older boy following her,
and then repeated the trip for two
little playmates of the Lock children,
who were with them when the fire
broke out.
The last two were half suffocated
when she reached them, and the
Hivwtc nf thp vrmncer was ablaze.
Tearing it off Mrs. Raymond got both
the children in her arms and made
for the stairway again. This time it
was entirely ablaze, but she dashed
down and reached the street just as
the stairway fell. Her face and
hands were badly burned, but she
refused medical attendance and went
home. All this happened before the
arrival of the firemen who had been
delayed by the poor condition of the
streets. The house was entirely destroyed.
Paid Her Father's Shortage.
Ten years ago Henry Barton, treasurer
of Muncie, Indiana, went out of
his office short in his accounts for a
large sum. His bondsmen paid part
of the shortage and he removed to
Los Angeles, Cal., where He has since
lived with his family.
On Friday last the last dollar owed
by Barton to the city was paid by his !
daughter Marguerite, who is a steno- i
grapher in Los Angeles. She has been j
making payments of $25 at a time on i
the indebtness for years, and the re- !
oonf r?n UYirlnv ia in full nnrl I
clears her father. j
Muncie officiate were inclined long 1
ago to canctel the debt, but the young
woman refused to consider the offer,
saying she wanted to pay in full and
thus free her father from the stain
of embezzlement.
Bad Economy.
A southern gentjeman recently at a
banquet in Washington related the "
following story about a certain
philanthropist he knows at home. He
said:
"My friend heard of a negro family
fV?of txTQc r?oTVYrf<a*1 in Hmatifiitp mw?nm.
stances, and, calling at their home,
he found the report true. The family
consisted of mother, a son about 15
years old and three young children.
After hearing the mother's story, he
gave the oldest son a bright silver
dollar, saying:
" 'Here, my lad, take this dollar
and get a turkey for the Christmas
dinner.' "
"No sooner was he gone when the
mother said in a stern voice to her
son:
" 'Heah, Jackson, you done gib me
dat dollar, and go git dat turkey in
denachral way.' "?Harper's Weekly.
Horrible Crime in Georgia.
Augusta, Ga., March 25?A Chronicle
special from Granite Hill, Ga.,
says:
"A posse of negroes is chasing
Porter Cooper near here with the determination
of lynching him for the
brutal murder of his wife. >
"Monday night Cooper dismembered
the body, carried the parts into
the woods and buried them, after
7?hich he burned the house to hide
the evidence of his crime. After
crushing the woman's skull he alnost
severed the head from body
vith a knife, chopped the body in two
vith an axe just above the hips and
jut the lower limbs apart. He put
jeveral Dieces into a sack and buried
the bundle in the woods some distance
Tom the house.
"Cooper made his escape, but it is
eported tonight that a posse of negroes
has formed and is searching
he woods for him. Excitement is
ligh among the negroes and they are
ietermined to lynch him if he is captured."
Gasoline Explosion.
Tampa, Fla., March 26.?The exjlosion
of gasoline at Eggmont Key,
lpon which Fort De Soto is located,
ate last night resulted in the destruction
of three buildings at Pilot station,
jrobably fatal burning of Mark
tyan, a soldier, and serious burning
)f Capt. Ira Washington, a pilot,
rhe fire was checked before the
'ortification and officers' quarters
vere endangered.
i Take
Your Choice.
Have you ever almost run into some 1
>ne on the. street, and then dodged '
:rom side to side for half a minute,
mainly endeavoring to pass, while the
)ther person by some strange fatality
blocked your every move by trying
;o pass you in the same way? i
Such was the recent experience of
i young man in Portland, Maine. He
md a strange young woman had been '
joing through this performance for
several seconds, when his unwilling ?
ris-a-vis staggered him by saying: s
"Well, hurry up! Which is it to be i
?a waltz or a two-step."?Woman's d

WHITE GIRL ARRESTED.
Chicago Police Find Her Living With
Chinaman in Squalid Room.
Chicago, March 26.?Living in a
squalid room with a Chinaman, a
young white girl, apparently 16 or 17
years old, wras arrested last night.
According to the information received
by the police, she has been locked
up there nine weeks.
It is believed that the girl ran away
from her home in Baltimore. She was
dressed in expensive clothing, a fur
coat she wore being worth $300. She
declared that she was married to the
PKinamon +K7A uoQrc ocrn of Nnrfnllf

say she is not more than 17 years old.
She said the Chinaman's name was
Charley Lee.

drowned," was spoken by a woman
and not by a man.

NEQRO SHOOTS FARMER.
Difficulty In Greenwood Sunday May
Terminate Fatally.
Greenwood, March 30.?Milledge
Colt, a negro, was lodged in jail here
yesterday, being sent up by Magistrate
Lugon Brocks, charged with shooting
Mr. J. Belton Hargrove, a white farmer,
living on the Greenwood-Saluda line.
From reports received here, it seems
that Mr. Hargrove was looking for some
negroes who had been in a fuss with
some of his tenants. In the search, he
came upon the Colt negro, whom he took
to be one of those who had been in the
difficulty.
Colt had a single-barrel shotgun at the
time, and Hargrove was carrying a Winchester
rifle. Colt says Mr. Hargrove
shot at him with the rifle, giving him a
flesh wound in the side and was ready to
shoot again when he, Colt, used the
shotgun, hitting Mr. Hargrove full in
the face with a charge of No. 6 shot, a
short distance away. Hargrove was
still living yesterday, but was in a very
serious condition. It was reported here
last night that there would be an attempt
at lynching, and the sheriff prepared
for any emergency, but there was
probably no ground for the report.
Drug. Store Dynamited.
Center Point, Ind., March 27.?

a drug store, shoe store and barber
shop, with the Knights of Pythias
)iall on the second floor, was destroyk?r

anything but splinters is left of the
building.
The town has no saloons, and Mr.
Urey, a druggist, has been importun- ed
often to turn his store into a blind
tiger, but refused.
It is believed that the liquor sympathizers
who wanted the blind tiger
established destroyed the building
out of spite.
A Collard Course. y
A North Georgia editor hands out
the following regarding a "social
function" pulled off in his town:
"Mr. C. J. Clark entertained recently
with a delightful 'collard
course' with side entrees of pot-liquor
and buttermilk.
"Green was the leading color, each
guests being presented with a hemstitched
dishrag as a souvenir of the
occasion."
