We welcome Spartanburg into the anti-dispensary column. Now let her officers do their duty and the county will be the gainer for having abolish ed the rum. • • • dames »W. Osborne, the ex-drug clerk of Charlotte, was defeated for District Attorney in New York Tues day. Well, there is one thing certain, if Jerome, who defeat d him, is the better and smarter mr n of the two, New York has a mig ity good and smart man for District Attorney. * * * Our neighbor. The Cherokee News, compl.fins because one firm in town uses the columns of this paper aufl does not patronize it, and asks the reason why. Upon our soul, we don’t know. But we do know that several local firms are usin„ its columns who are not using ours, and we know why they don’t use ours—because they don’t want to. And perhaps that ap plies to the other fellow, too. Notwithstanding the fact that few of our readers knew the man we want to stop long enough in the mad rush to lay a small flower upon the mound of Rev. John F. Butt, who died in Char lotte last week. He was a kindly soul and did much good among the poo- and lowly with whom he labored ail his life. He did much to dis reputable people respectable airi ac complished a great deal for cue cause for which he laboreu. Charlotte is better for bis having lived there and the sincere mourning of his passing a wav is but a just tribute. • • • The Charleston News and Courier will never, no never, forget our good friend Kimsey Huskey. Only recent ly It had this item : The American people doubtless were astonished at the announcement in The News and Courier yester day that the celebration of his birth day by the Hon. Kimsey 0. Huskey and sixty friends and relatives at Gras sy Pond marked the completion of only thirty years. The Impression was that our friend was much older, hut as a matter of fact his future lies before him. His achievements al ready are more than those of most men who have lived to a ripe old age, and he is but at the beginning of his career. As formerly stated, his candi dacy for the Legislature may continue for twelve years, but we predict that he will be triumphantly elected in 1906. We congratulate Mr. Huskey upon reaching the thirtieth anniver sary of his natal day, and we repeat again that we are for Huskey for the Legislature first, last and all the time, now and forever. In addition to the above The News and Courier on last Tuesday express ed its regrets that Cherokee was not to be included in the election returns of that day. We are getting a little sore on account of so much facecious- ness on the part of our esteemed sea side contemporary. * * * We haven’t visited all the carnival shows, having been too busy to give much time and attention to it. In fact we have seen but two—Jerusalem and the Foolish House—and they are both entertaining. We have heard that the art palace is rather suggestive, but not having seen it are unable to say. All in all the company is larger and beuter than that of last year. The suggestion that the indecent part should be cut out, is eminently prop er—if there be any indecent part— but Mayor Gaffney and the city coun cil should not be criticised because of the character of the attractions. The public would do well to remember one thing, and that is this, that the ad vance representatives of shows come here and put the best face possible upon their attractions. They praise them to the limit and lead those whom they do business with to believe that they have good shows. Upon the re presentation of the advance man the shows—not only carnivals, but all others—are booked and advertised. Now if the advance man misrepre sents it, it is not the fault of the local management. They have no means of knowing, except what they are told and see in the papers where the shows have been. But after all is said it depends very much upon which way you look at it. All people do not look through the same eyes. What sqme would think good others would think bad. and vice versa. But in no in stance should the local management be condemned for misrepresentation of adyance agents after the local man agement has made careful inquiry elsewhere and the representations made to them have been borne, out by disinterested parties. We take this to be the case of Mayor Gaffney and his associates. Court Proceedings. The following cases have been dis posed of in court since Monday: Spencer vs. Jefferies.
