Is THE uEDGER- Tuesday and Friday, c d. H. DeCamp, Editor and Publisher, A. W. Griffith, Local Editor. NOTES AND C 'MME.<IT8. Hdgefield, Senator Tillman’s coun ty. ba» voted out the dispensary. Will tbo political mountebanks never realize that the people are tired of this corrupt institutior? A six day bicycle race has just closed in New York. The promoters are said to have cleared $60,000 on the scheme, while the poor, plodding rid ers received a mere pittance for wrecking their bodies. • • • Jesee Gantt, the secretary of State of South Carolina, and one of his clerks, D. H. Means, have lost a book that would aid the investigating com mittee in straightening out the tangle in that office. It is sometimes very convenient to lose important docu ments and books when they would throw light on things. O, Jesse, we didn’t think it of you! • • • South Carolina suffers a loss in the doath of Col. Altamont Moses, of Sumter, which occurred Friday. He was a prominent figure in the legisla ture of this State for years and had the reputation of being a clear think er, a hard worker and conservative brain. If we mistake not he was a Hebrew—one of God’s chosen people —and he was every inch a man. • • • The people of Spartanburg and Greenville voted out the dispensary in good faith; but the Supreme Court last Friday decided that these dis pensaries may remain open until January 8, 1906, when the constitu tionality of the Brice law, under which they were voted out, will be de termined. Associate Justice Eugene B. Gary dissented from the opinion of Justices Pope, Jones and Wood. We have no desire to fie held in con tempt by the Supreme Court of South Carolina, but we want to say that it has little to do to force upon a liberty- laving people something that they have denounced by thtelr ballots. - • • • A noble hearted woman of Gaffney has conceived the idea of sending a Christmas box to the unfortunate ponr who are dependent upon the county for sustenance, and believing that others would gladly join her In this work, has requested The Ledger to say that any one wishing to aid in this laudable undertaking may do so by notifying this office. If they can not bring or send their donation we will send after U. A note through the postoffice or a ’phone message will have proL'.i^t attention. “RemembiT the pwor.” is an injunction ha/ded down from the Master, and h<v)/ she who obeys this comr««v,«f "will find Christmas more cheerful and happy Let all who can join in the good work, all who can join in the good work.
