All claims upon the State of South Carolina must be filed with the comp troller general 40 days before the con vening of the general assembly. There will be a great many such claims this year, as the appropriation for some of the election expenses was inade quate and there will be other claims passed up to the general assembly on account of.the contingent funds of the State officials having been ex hausted, notably the civil contingent fund out of which the governor is au thorized to pay the special judges. The next general assembly will meet on the 9th of January, and the 40-day limit has already expired. The mystery surrounding the iden tity of the negro man whose dead and mangled body was found on the track of the Seaboard Air Line near Co lumbia Sunday morning has been cleared, and it is now certain that the remains are those of Allen Watkins, who lived at 1514 Gates street in Co lumbia, and who was employed as helper on one of the drays of the Ca ble Piano company.

His talk was well received by a good sized congregation and highly ap preciated by all who heard him. Mr. and Mrs. H. B. McDaniel, of Hickory Grove, with their children, are visiting friends and relatives on this side of the river. They went to Gaffney today on a shopping expedi tion. Rev. W. H.

Pleasant school is progressing very nicely. There Is an enrollment of sev enty-seven out of ninety-three given in the school census report. The law of this State requires an enroll ment of seventy and an average week ly attendance of fifty, before a dis trict is permitted to employ two teach ers. The requisite number was ob tained after the first two weeks. Miss Lula Holland tendered a so ciable to her friends on Thursday night last, to which we had the pleas ure of being invited. The young people of the community are making preparations for a Christ mas tree. Everybody is cordially in vited to—contribute. There was a fire at Caroleen Wed nesday night and one also at Forest City the following night, but no ex tensive damage is reported. An accident occurred a few days since at Caroleen in which Miss Alma Moss came -very near losing her life. Something caused the horse which she was driving to plunge into the mill race. When taken from the wa ter she was in a critical condition. We are glad to state that she has very nearly recovered. She Is a Very popu lar young lady of Forest City, and her many friends were sorry to hear of her misfortune. We notice that the press unite in one voice in expressions of hearty commendation for the stand taken by The Ledger in the recent campaign against the dispensary. It is univer sally agreed that the liquor traffic should he controlled in the best pos sible manner, but there is a diversity of opinion as to what that partionlar plan is. As a great man has said, “Drunkenness, that worst of ail evils, makes some men fools, some men beasts, some devils.” . We would like to write son.athing about, prohibition in Rutherford coun ty, and several other matters, but space and time forbid. H. M. Revolution Imminent.

[Greenwood Journal. ] From an interview given out in the daily papers from Senator Tillman we take the following extract: Senator Tillman ip of the opinion that the Gaffney victory was more of a victory for prohibition than a pro test against the dispensary system. The disposition all over the South, he believes, is towards prohibition, and not towards the license system, and the prohibitionists, he says, are earnest and zealous workers who do not allow any opportunity to escape, and who are making rapid gains with their views all over the South, and unless the General Assembly purifies the atmosphere around the dispensary system, Senator Tillman is firmly con vinced that prohibition will make very much more rapid progress in this State than is expected. He remarked that two-thirds of the State of Mississ ippi is *now prohibition, one-half of Georgia, a very large portion of North Carolina, and that such a disposition seems to be growing all over the coun try. Senator Tillman says that he has no objection in the world to prohibi tion, but that in bis opinion it simply means that they will have all of the evils of liquor and none of the benefits of the dispensary system, and he is satisfied that in Cherokee county there will be a regular procession of jugs and demijohns at every depot along the railroad. In reply to the last paragraph we quote the following which appeared in the News and Courier from its Gaff ney correspondent: Cherokee is getting on well without the dispensary and the improvement for the better is very noticeable to the most casual observer. The express company brings in some liquor, and we suppose will continue to do so, but It. brought whiskey here when we had the dispensary. Senator Tillman is right, the prohibi tion sentiment is strong in South Caro lina, and it. Is growing everywhere. He knows that the State voted over 10.000 majority for prohibition and in stead of giving the people what they asked for, the dispensary was forced upon them. But the time has come when they will not submit to the whiskey evil, and Senator Tillman sees it. Yes, give us prohibition. That is what, the good people want. The folks who go around and whine about prohibition not prohibiting, as a rule, are the fellows who are afraid that it will prevent thorn from getting their whiskey to which they are wedded for life. With them it is a very personal matter. Subscribe for The Ledger, $1 a year. HELP THE ORPHANS. Contributions Received for the Or phanage at Clinton.

Items of Interest Concerning Out Neighbors in the Old North State Culled Expressly for Ledger Readers Thomas Dewey, the defaulting cashier of the Farmers’ and Mer chants’ Bank of Newbern for over one hundred thousand dollars, has been arrested in San Antonia, Texas. The Centaur Knitting company Is the name of the new enterprise estab lished at High Point by New York parties. Work on the buildings is pro ceeding satisfactorily; the walls going up rapidly. There is talk of a dispensary for Lexington. Lately the blind tigers have become so hold and such quan tities of intoxicants are being sold there regularly, that many of the citi zens are now favoring’ a dispensary. Others contend that the retailing should be stopped by some means, otherwise by legalizing the traffic. Mary Peterson, the colored woman so horribly burned by her husband Sunday morning at Newbern, died Monday morning, and Peterson will now have two charges to answer, mur der and arson. The othey man, Alex ander Adams, having proved an alibi was released. The coroner’s inquest charged Peterson with murder and he was committed to the county jail. Sandy Miller, the father of the col ored girl. Laura Miller, who was mur dered near Concord Saturday, has sworn out a warrant against Ray Mcismore, a 15-year-old white boy, who lived near his house, upon the charge of murder. The trial was set for Tuesday before ’Squire C. A. Pitts. The boy was taken to town on Satur day by the coroner, as the negroes thought he was the murderer. One of the most unique damage suits that has been in the Charlotte courts for some time was an action brought by Mr. W. J. Moore, through Mr. T. G. McMlchael, against the Char lotte street railway for the killing of a fine dog. It was alleged that the dog was killed by reason of the fact that the fender on Liie car that ran over him was too high from the ground* The dead dog was vauled at $50, but the jury awarded only $16. The court in Laurinburg last week cleared the jail of all its inmates. Every case was tried except one. The result of the court is that six negroes leave the county for a time at least. Four of them go to the public roads in Union county, all for selling liquor. The other two go to the penitentiary. They are murderers that were on trial for their lives. Both were convicted of murder in the second degree. Their names are Tyson and Ray. Tyson goes for 15 years and Ray for 10 years. The satisfaction at the way Judge Peebles conducts his court is well-nigh unanimous. He has im pressed the people as being a fair and able judge. Noble Patten, a young yellow-faced, unintelligent negro, is in the custody of the Charlotte police, charged with an attempt to commit a nameless crime on Susan Glover, a colored wo man, Monday night. Patton was ar rested next morning by Officers Cro well and J. M. Earnhart, after a war rant for his arrest had been sworn out by the w’oman. The woman says that she was walking near Latt^ Park that night, when she was approached by Patten from behind, who made an indecent proposition to her. She re fused and started to run, when the negro used vlolenece. She finally es caped and fled. Patten tells a dif ferent story, and says that he and the woman quarreled and engaged in a general fight. There were three eye witnesses of the episode, who seemed to be Patten’s witnesses. Mr. 0. C. G. McCarter, a highly es teemed citizen of King’s Mountain township, was found hanging by the neck in his barn, near Ramah church Monday morning at about 6:30 o’clock. He was dead; but the natural warmth had not yet left his body. Thero is no question of the fact that the tra gedy involved a case of suicide. Mr. McCarter’s mind had been unbalan ced for some months past on account of an unfortunate trouble that worried him, and his wife and children were expecting him to do violence to him self. They kept close watch over him, and their only surprise when they fouad him dead was at his success in evading their vigilance. Mr. McCar ter was about 50 years of age, was a quite straightforward, respected citi zen, and w’as a deacon in Ramah church. He leaves a widow and seven or eight children, several of them fully grown. The grand Jury In Charlotte filed into the criminal court room Tuesday morning, and when Judge Allen had suspended the regular court proceed ings, retuned a true bill against Char les Thomas for the murder of L. A. Evans. Thomas is a young artisan of that city and is charged with kill ing L. A. Evans, of Iredell county, a few weeks ago. The two men met and quarreled in the vacant lot back of the city hall and Thomas drove a pocket knife into the head of Evans. He was arrested by Sergeant Pitts and has been in jail since. Evans was removed to the Presbyterian Hospital, where he died.
