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,

A WILD NIGHTS RIDF.
Manager Manning llullt on the
Paul Revere Order.
Owoiw people are generally awn ?
that the electric company played in
bard luck last week, but du not ktn>w
the hereic effort* Manager l^awrence
Manning made to keep iliingit going.
The power l.ouae wan equipped with
three dynamo* of 86, 00 and 120 Kilo
watts power They were all needed to
supply light and power and there wait
little reserve. Tuesday evening the
big dynamo burned out early in the
evening. By making arrangement*
with certain firm* Manager Manning
kept th? commercial light* going, us
ing the smaller dynamo*. At the
?ante time he bad the big machine dis
mantled and found that one of the ten
coils of the armature needed rewind
ing. A tr.p to Detroit was necessary
and there being no psssenger before
morning he went over to the railroad
Iards and Hndiug a freight headed for
lurand attempted to climb in the en
gine cal>. The engineer objected, told
him to go to the caboose, at the san?
time opening wide the throttle. 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. The wire arrived Thurs
day morning and at 10 o'clock that
uight the dynamo was again ready for
use.
Fridav the 00 k. w. machine burned
out and Saturday the big dynamo
again went out of commission. They
| Were wound and in use Saturday night
at 9 o'clock.
?n old engine is being rebuilt, and
the company now has a generator for
another, wbleh wlil, as soon as install
ed give tbem a double unit being an
engine and generator of 88ft k. w. capa
city, which Is equivalent to ftift horse
power.
Mr. Manning is entitled to much
credit for his strenuous efferU to keep
the electrio plant in condition to meet
the demands.
