Mm/ of us have heard the njfof that "When thieves fall oat. honest men get their dues. " Now while we don't care to call the party whose contemplated action calls out this editorial a thief, the aphorism quoted holds good. We do not suppose that . there is a man, woman, or child of readable age but knows that we are conscientiously opposed to the dispensary law. We have been too long on record as op posed to it for anyone with a pralu of grey matter in their eranlnm to doubt for an instant that our opposition to it is unal terable, and that until we have high license with a measurable degree of dispensary restrictions, we will not feel that we are a full fledged citisen of one of the proudest states in the American Union, 'Theorists may can't, fools may rant, and politicians may pant in their discourses in the endeavor tb prove the Dis pensary a good thing1, but we tell you that it is a fraud and a farce. This brings us to the casus belli of the editorial. The Columbia Slate of lust Thursday published a special in which it states that a Mr. Ew banks of Spartanburg, for srcen years a State constable had been shelved, ordischurged by Chief Hammett for no reason expressly stipulated, and that he (Mr. Ewbanks) intended publishing a series of articles on the Dispen ssr j; presumably an expose of the inner workings of *th is great moral institution. This course of oopftuot does not strike us us JMaolly half fair. It strikes us on the contrary, 'that if Mr. Ew banks enjoyed the emoluments of this position of State consta ble for seven years, without ex posing any of the rascality that came under his observation, the graceful tiling fqr him |p? do af ter having been discharged from ' whatever cause would be to quietly subside ttnd let the ras cal s run tbfe length of their teth er. We, of course write this on the supposition that Mr. Ew banka has not experienced a change of heart. Many of us have doubtless noted the fact that when a man lost a job, he sometimes experienced a radical change of heart towurds his former employers. .... As w? stated in . an editorial last week, "We- will see what we shall see." OOOD STOCK. Show us a farruer who has good stock on his farm, and it will go without saying that that farmer is not only a progressive tnan but a success in his chosen profession. It is a lamentable fact that our farmers pay too little attention to this, an im portant branch of farm industry. As the years roll by, our )>eople are growing more prosperous, and there is no longer an excuse for the presence of scrub stock on a farm of any size in this county, to say nothing of the other counties in the State. We will take horses as a starter. What excuse has the average fanner for using in his business a plug horse when it is just as oasy for him to own and work a good one? The same idea nat urally applies to mules. Why, in this day of enlightened farm ing should the farmer's wife be compelled to daily milk and care for a scrub cow? To show that this is being done daily however, we merely call attention to an advertisement that has been run- i ning in The People for several luonths of "A bhorthorn Bull lor Bale.'** This proves conclu sively that our people have not waked up to the importance of raising good stock. Again we note t he deplorable negligence of the farmers of the county in the matter of sheep and goat rearing. There are thousands of acres of land in Kershaw county that are fitted for nothing under the sun but for sheep and goat pastures, yet the land Is not utilised for that, or any other purpose. Why? Simply because our people do not think. A few ewes, headed b j aMmimi at a iftott ee i tow dolkrt, * tew gotta; Mad byMMfWiWekitaa t^aiU; triihyrpMii, If IwmA loon Oi ten WUH plMM, WOiii to a few j ears prove a veritable mine of wealth to their owners. Coming closer home. and to a subject that perhaps we are more competent to comment sp oil then any other, we cannot eee how it is that onr people* both to town and country allow the pres ence of what is known to all as dung-hill chickens on their premises. It gives us thst tired feeliofr, that only adoeeof Hood's Sarspavilla (sold at Dr. F. Les lie Zemps) or something else, to have anyone tell us that the scrub stock of chickens kept by them ire preferable to a thoroughbred or a cross on one. As this editorial is growing too long, we will say in conclus ion that hogs should have been incorporated in it, bnt as we are not much on hog except in a pork pie, we will invite some of our numerous oorreepondents to give us a dissertation on that subject later. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. The czar is almost as much surprised by the assurance of his subjucts in requesting self government as he was by the effrontery of the Japanese in wanting to fight. The system by which America gives Europe a rebate on manu factured articles and Europe .sends oyer its original popula tion free of charge is not a satisfactory form of reciprocity. This is a pretty big country. The President has traveled 1,000 miles without going through a Democratic State. The New York World says that an honest man with $100, 000 a year can live very comfortable in New York. But would he want to live there, and wouldn't an honest man with that much money be awfully lonesome. The New York papers seem to have all overlooked the dinner that ftussell Sage gave to the city '8 poor on Thanksgiving Day. The Cxar receives the largest | salary paid to any ruler in the world, but he seems to be earn ing it this year. Nan Patterson promises, if acquited, that she will shun the stage. She will probably also avoid, the - oab. Society Hates. Camden has been unusually dull for the past weak, but our redoubtable po lo player* aro beginning to practice again, the Club Howe Is soon to have a new dress of paint, tourist* are ar? riving every day and the winters round of gM ye ties seems assured. 1 The young ladies who visited sur rounding citiea for the festivities of Thanksgiving have returned; Misses Bailie and Dea* Roykin from Charles ton, where they were the guests of Miss Magdsline Porter; Misses {Annie Johnson and Francis Boykln. who wire in the same city visiting Mrs. Morton \V. Wilson, and Miss Jim El dredge, who spent several days in Kock Hill with Mrs. R. E. Tompkins. Because of the inclemenoy of the weather the members of the John D. Kennedy Chapter did not respond to the Invitations given by Mrs. II. U. Csrrison for Monday night but will probably meet with her on next Mon dny evening. The delegates have all returned from Orangeburg and report a glorious rally. Orangeburg even sur passed herself in the role of hostess nnd numerous elegant entertainments were tendered the visiters besides many smaller individual attentions. The Historical Association will meet on next Monday night at eight o'clock at the High school Building and all are invited to Soeth Carolina is far behind every other state in the Union in the presentation and interest taken in such data and surely no state has a better right to be proud of her past and more valuable source from which to collect bistorlal relics? the very soil we tread is hallowed and bought by the priceless blood of our forefathers. So 1st us, ths people of Camden collect and preserve the relics within our border* and what iv better still, show our interest in such matters by taking an active part in this worthy Association, Illaney Item.

Mr. Mannirg seeing be would be unable to satob the caboose when It came along, made a break for the ladder on a box car, climbed up and rode to Durand, though the night air was decidedly cold. Arivinarin Detroit early in the morn ing lie was unable to find the necess ary repairs and was compelled to phone to Chicago.
