The police of Charleston were un
usually busy Saturday night and Sun
day and the harsh clang of the patrol
g^*gon gong could be heard in the
Greets at all hours of the night and
day. Only one fatality resulted .
from the revels of the merry-makers,
and this slaying took place outside |
the city limits. Frank Jenkins, col

Jankins, colored, in Lawton’s lane,
near the naval station. Scipio es

a late hour Sunday night.
The town of Union was shocked
Monday morning to hear of the
death of States it. Crawford, presi

that place, who died the night before
as the result of blood poisoning caus

went to Atlanta last Monday in his
usual health; on Wednesday he felt
a carbuncle coming and returned on
Thursday night, when he went to
bed. Blood poisoning at once set in
and after suffering intensely Mr.
Crawford passed away at 10:30
o’clock.

ThVee conflagrations in the busi

The fire originated in the store of H.
F. Bamberg and is supposed to have
been accidental. It gained such
headway before it was discovered
that it was impossible to save any of
the goods from that or the adjoining
buildings, and the whole block would
undoubtedly have been burned hut

The Blacksburg School Matter.
Ed. Ledger:—In your issue of
March 11th, 1904, I published an ar
ticle charging the trustees of the
graded school of this place with a
sinister motive in stopping the school,
to which they have made no
reply either throng your paper
or otherwise. The public cannot
help hut infer from their failure to
answer the charges on their part that
their silence is an admission of guilt.
Since the publication of said arti
cle, a petition was circulated among
the patrons and taxpayers and was
presented to the Ijoard and was
turned down by them, though the
signers of the petition represented
wer one hundred children in atten
dance, while the three trustees have,
only one child in school.
The trustees’ attention was called
to the injustice that closing the
school would do the children in the
ninth grade who would graduate were
the school allowed to run to the end '
of the term.
To mend the matter the chairman
of the hoard requested the superin-1
tendent to order the graduation cer-
tifiicates for the pupils of the ninth
grade.
I was under the impression here-:
tofore that a school was one of the
places where “honesty, virtue and
morality” were taught, and really it I
seems strange that the trustees:
should request the superintendent to
present certificates of graduation to
pupils who have not completed the
ninth grade studies. Should the su
perintendent do this, what other
name could he given such a transac
tion than “fraudulent?”
The petition that was presented
the honorable hoard of trustees was
signed by a large majority of the
patrons of the school, who implored
them to continue the school, but in
vain. B.

CHEROKEE DRUG CO.
GIVE REASONS WHY THEY
SIDER VINOL
CON-
and
The Greatest Health Restorer
Strength Creator Known to
Medicine.
First: Because Vinol contains in
a concentrated form all the medici
nal curative elements actually taken
from fresh cods’ livers, but without
a drop of oil to nauseate and upset
the stomach and retard its work;
therefore, wherever old-fashioned cod
liver oil or emulsions will do good,
Vinol will do far more good.
Second: Because Vinol acts first
upon the stomach, creates a healthy
appetite, strengthens and tones up
the digestive organs; purifies and en
riches the blood, and in a natural
manner health is restored and
strength created.
Third: Because Vinol contains no
injurious drugs to react upon the
system; you know just what you are
taking, as it is printed on every bot
tle.
Fourth: Because we have never
sold anything in our store equal to
Vinol to restore health and create
strength for old people, weak, sickly
women and children, nursing moth
ers, and to build up the system after
a severe sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chron
ic colds, bronchitis and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes:
“Vinol is the most palatable and val
uable preparation ever compounded.
I now use it entirely in all cases
where I formerly depended upon old-
fashioned cod liver oil and emul
sions.”
Try Vinol on our guarantee to re
turn money if you receive no benefit.

In compliance with the call issued
recently the State Democratic execu

the secretary of state Tuesday night
and made arrangements for the cam
paign in the Second district and also
for the meeting of the State conven
tion. In the absence of any delegate
from Spartanburg, Gen. Willie Jones,
chairman of the committee, read an
invitation from that city, but on mo
tion of Mr. T. B. Crews It was de
cided to hold the State convention in
Columbia, and Spartanburg’s gener
ous offer was declined with thanks.
There was quite a large representa
tion, very few counties being with
out committeemen on the floor.

The following offered by Mr. Magill
was adopted:
“A convention of the Democratic
party of the State of South Carolina
is hereby called to meet In the city of
Columbia at 12 o’clock noon on May
18, 1904, for the purpose of electing
delegates to the national Democratic
convention, and to transact such
other business as the convention may
see proper.
“The county chairmen throughout
the State are hereby instructed to
call together their executive commit
tees and order meetings of the clubs
in their respective counties on Sat
urday, April 23, for the purpose of
electing delegates to the county con
ventions to be held on Monday, May
2nd. 1904, for the purpose of electing
delegates to the State convention.
Each county is entitled to twice the
number as It has members of the leg
islature.”
The resolution also carried a par
agraph providing for a primary in
the Second congressional district on
Tuesday, the 19th of April. But as
this is a special and not a general
primary it was thought fair to all of
the candidates for the voting to be
done on Saturday as that day of the
week is more satisfactory to the peo
ple in the rural districts. According
ly a resolution was adopted to ap
point a committee of one member
from each county in the congres
sional district to frame resolutions
more explicit in their nature and fix
ing the primaries for Saturdays in
stead of Tuesdays. The members of
the subcommittee were: M. B. Mc
