PACQLET "KICK" SETTLED.
Superintendent will Respect Wishes J
and Appoint White Man.
i
Spartanburg, April 8.?The people:
of Pacolet Township, who have raised t
a howl because a negro had been ap- r
pointed as census enumerator for c
their district, were made to feel per- s
fectly at ease this morning, when c
Superintendent of Census Pritchard a
,made known that such would not be c
- " * 1 J
the case, ana mat a wnue mau wuum a
be appointed. The matter will be ad- r
justed satisfactorily to all parties,
and it is thought that nothing fur- c
ther will be heard of it. Some per- t
sons living in this township threaten- t
_ ed not to give desired information 1
to a negro census taker and petition- f
ed that a white man be appointed. c
The negro stood the examination v
successfully and received the ap- t
t * pointment, and the citizens objected, e
and the outcome may be that a sep- r
- arate man will be appointed to take t
- ; census of negroes. s
The negro will only call upon mem- c
bers of his race. This arrangement I
is entirely satisfactory to all parties t
concerend.and Superintendent Pritch- a
ard will in all probability make an t
appointment of a white man during k
the next few days. c

Cattle-Raising Again.. r
'
We republished recently a paragraph
from The Bamberg Herald
telling of the shipment of eight car c
; ; . loads of catcle from that county last s
t "week and calling upon our contempo- c
i vj rary to inform its as to the, profits t
resulting to the farmers who raisea s
these beeves. Now comes Th# Herald f
V with the astounding information that I
'V' none of this cattle was raised in Bam- t
" ; . berg county. These beeves, some e
seven or eight hundred head of them, b
!J^v were bought by Bamberg county f
v ' firmers in Tennessee last fall and u
N Chipped to Bamberg to be fattened r
'* - . and resold, the farmers desiring to t
fM obtain the compost for their farms. ^
The cattle, says The Herald, were P
5 * lattaned on hulls and meal purchased s
at tiie local oil mill, and brought *
V - about 6 cents the pound when sold P
1 * last week. "In this conn^tion," our n
- contemporary conoludes, "it/ may be a
? noted that the fattening of cattle each *
i r 'A winter by th? farmers around Bam- t
berg is getting to be quite an indus- d
r
- "v try, so we were correct in saying that r
. Bamberg is getting to be quite a mar- d
ket for beef cattle." c
fg?' This is goo<f enough as far as it 5
goes, but why in the name of common n
' r ; . iehsebuy cattle in Tennessee for the c
, purpose of fattening, them? If they a
can be fattened profitably in Bam- d
l\ /': berg, why can they not be raised there r
U J* . pet more profitably ? And if they can f:
^ ; v* t be . raised profitably in Bamberg t(
-county, why not in other counties? s
fi; ^Twenty yearis ago it was customary z\
Wz bring every winter great* droves t]
; of hogs across the mountains from E
&V?; Tennessee into the upper counties of
gfe^flonik Carolina for sale. The farmof
South Carolina have found ^
ngLW*at least some of them have, that b
* they can best afford to raise their f]
own hogs and their own corn upon r(
?>. which to fatten those hogs. Some
'.jj < day they will learn, that it will pay
;them also to give some attention to
?jvr ' V' '* * ' O'
**ttpplying butter and milk for their
fc neighbors in the towns and cities of G
? ' Qputh Carolina, as well as for them- ^
aelves, and to furnish some of the g.
iV: which they themselves and their
-i neighbors must eat. Why postpone ^
?that time?- Why not do it now? The h
subject at least merits careful investiI
cation.?News and Courier.

Allied "Raffles'* Arrested.
Springfield, Mass., April 6.?The p
wanton murder last Thursday even- ^
tag of Miss Bertha Blackstone by a g
masked burglar at the residence of *
Mr*. Sarah J. Dow has been formally V
charged against Bertram G. Spencer,
a clerk, aged 28? who was arrested ^
yesterday. ?
Spencer was identified by Mrs. Dow
and Miss L\jcy Dow, mother and sister,
respectively, of Miss Harriet P. a
Dow, who was seriously wounded by n
the robber's bullets. ^
b
, Later, according to me police, several
other persons identified Spencer 0
as the man responsible for a local 0
reign of terror a year ago, whose S
homes were broken into and robbed
by a burglar, who adopted some of c
the method of "Raffles." *
A search of Spencer's home after
v the arrrest resulted in the finding of
two black silk masks, several loaded a
; v s revolvers and a small amount of mis- ^
cellaneous articles, including jewelry. t
Krs. Dow and her daughter picked out *
, Urom this alleged loot a peculiar green 0
-* Indian head belt and a pearl broach,
which, they said, were taken by the .
man who entered their home on t
Round Hill Thursday evening.

CRIMINAL ASSAULT CHARGED.
$ ,
Uleged that Italian Committee
Crime in Colombia.
Columbia, April 8.?It was learnec
hat O. Sciserlinder, an Italian dress
naker, is in jail upon the charge o:
iriminal. assault. The deputy jailei
tated to-night that he could not urn
lerstand the man's version of th<
illeged affair. It is alleged that h<
ommitted a criminal assault upoi
l well known married woman, whe
esides in Shandon.
The assault is alleged to have beer
ommitted a month ago at the vieim's
home, where Sciserlindei
>oards, but the charges brought tc
ight at the preliminary hearing be
ore Magistrate Fowles did not beome
known until Wednesday. The
eoman said she dared not tell hei
Lusband because Sciserlinder threatened
to kill her if she mentioned the
natter to anyone. Her husband saic
hat for several weeks his wife actec
trangely, as if there was something
>f a serious nature on her mind
'"inally she told him of her accusations
against Sciserlinder, and the
.rrest of the man followed. The paries
involved in the case are well

Orangeburg's View.
OraQgeburg has been stuffed full
f railroad propositions for the past
everal years, and in each and everj
ase, we have been "stung." But it
here Vras ever been one which Dos
essed merit, the present proposition
or an extension from Ehrhardt tc
lamberg, and on to this city, seems
o be that one. The proposition has
aany attractive features, and perlaps
the mo^st attrative one is the
act that the road is not such a big
mdertaking, and therefore will not
equire tons of money to carry i1
hrough. The propositions hitherto,
Fhile they started in modest proiortions
soon grew to such gigantic
ize that they were unwieldly, and
pere compelled be abandoned. The
iresent proposition is a road of not
oore than 20 miles at the utmost,
,nd to build this road would mean
he opening up of a most valuable
erritory. Much business could < be
rawn to this city on account of this
oad, and much travel would unoubtedly
pass through here on acount
of the fact, that this country is
ractically inaccessable only in a
lost round about way. Thfs city
oiild be made the terminal station,
nd then another train would be aded
to the large number already ariving
in the city each day. Viewed
rom all sides, the proposition seems
9 be a feasible one, and one which
hould be taken hold of by our citiens
and cajpied through to compleion,
if such is possible.?Orangeburg

Chas. A. Bland, the traffic manager
f the Augusta chamber of comlerce,
was assured the support of

Mr. Bland said' that since the
harleston & Western Carolina road

1th the Seaboard that Augusta had
lissed the Seaboard connection more

The building of a road from a

olumbia a double service to Auusta

nd also to south-west Georgia over
ae Georgia & Florida railroad.
Mr. Bland conferred with Secretary

ill co-operation of the local body.

REVENUE TAX ON SOFT DRINKS.
1 Revenue Agent Gives Notice that
Dealers Must Comply.
I Columbia, April 8.?It is very
- probable that Charleston drug stores
f and all others selling soft drinks,
r will be subject to revenue license
- tax, if all are not now paying it.
i The internal revenue department
3 under the administration of Mr. A.
i J. Yellowley, as revenue agent, has
) served notice upon all the soft drink
sellers of Columbia that they must
i take out licenses as liquor dealers,
- if they are using or have used syrups
containing as much as one-half of

the dealers in Columbia have taken
out licenses for the last two years,

it is possible tuat one or more of the
dealers may take the matter to the
i Courts. Others have paid up rather
I than protest.

Prohibition and Federal Law.
>
The advocates of the bill in congress
, to restrict the shipments of liquor
into prohibition states, are getting
i restive under the hold-up and proj
pose to make trouble, says the Pittsj
burg Standard Union. The Anti-Sa,
loon league says it will carry the
issue to the polls if the bills do not
pass. This league is not on the best
of terms with some of the prohibition
I and temperance organizations, but it
: is numerous and aggressive. In the
r present state of party confusion its
I activities might further complicate
. the political situation in several
l states.
> No good arguments against the
j bills has been brought forward; in
s fact, they are haying to contend not
so much with opposition as with
> evasion. When a state prohibits the
; sale of liquor, importations in origi;
nal packages cannot be interferred
; with because interference would be
, regulation of inter-atate commerce, a
. power delegated to the Federal por;
tion of the American government,
i Sometimes it happens that more' liqs
or (such as it is) gets into a state
; after a prohibition law is passed~than
, before, making state regulation diffli
cult or impossible.
> The Prohibitionists want inter
) state traffic in liquors forbidden as to
i states in which the people have de
clared for the abolishment of th6
saloons. This is as it should be, bei
cause the people of a state ought to
, have either one thing or the other?
either no liquor at all or else liquor
dispensed on the terms prescribed by
the people. The system of giving the
abstainers all the law they want and
giving the driifkers all the "rum"
; they want is a Joke that should be
obsolete. < ,
Closing Streets to Automobiles.
.. . / , ..i
The. town of Eden, in Maine, under
express legislative authority, passed
an ordinance closing to the use ?>f
automobiles certain public streets pi
that town, the Supreme Judicial
Court of the State held (State' vl.
Mayo) that the legislative enactment
.which authorized the closing of such
streets to the use of automobiles was
not repugnant to any constitutional
provision, and that the ordinance \?as
constitutional. The court said that
when the legislature has constitution
ai autnonty to enact a law to promote
the public safety, and does enact,
|f, the expediency of its enactment
is not to be passed upon by the
court. Ip such a case the legislature
determines by the enacment that the
law is. reasonable and necessary.

Spartanburg, April 5.?Telling his
brother and his wife that he was going

Walker, a farmer, 65 years of age,
living near Enoree, went to the Enoree

of him. xHis body was found this
1 morning at 9 o'clock near, his home by
the road side. ,
Coroner Turner was notified and
went to Enoree to-day to hold the in1
