(Southern Field.) It has ever been the proudest) boast of the South that “Our women must be respected and shall be protected,’ and no people have been more out I spoken in this declaration than South 1 Carolinians. That State has now an opportunity to make good this asser- ! tion, and show to the world that these are no idle words. A few days since there stopped at a hotel in Gaffney, S. C., a traveling theatrical company. After developments showed that they were peaceful, quiet and respectable people. Two lady members of \he i company were engaged to marry two : <;f the actors, and the day set for the - double nuptials. George Hasty, one 1 of the hotel proprietors, grossly insult ed one of these ladies, and not content with this, attempted to force an en trance into the room of the other, and i when the door refused to give way. , secured a chair and peened over the I transom into the girl’s chamber, for the use of which she had paid, and it was her private nroperty at that time, as much so as her home would i have been. Those ladies, most nat- uraly, complained to their betrothed, about the insults and treatment they had received. From the evidence actors, being strangers in a strange . land, proceeded with far more circum- ! specMon, and discretion than one would think reasonable. George Has- , ty, the hotel proprietor, in answer to - their protests against his ungentle manly, yea. brutal conduct, jerked out ! a pistol and killed them both. It was one of the most cruel and unprovoked murders we ever knew. Thus far the outraged people of Gaffney have acted i most commendably. But their duty ! has just begun. They must now' see that justice is meted out by their court - of justice, and not permit sympathy to blind them to their duty. It may he charged that these women were “actresses.” Often pure and true wo men resort to the stage in order to earn an honest livlihood. And such aopear to be the young women who , were so grossly insulted by that man Hasty. But the question for South Carolinians to ask themselves, is. “Shall we make good our oft-reneate- boast that our women must be pro tected?” We believe that Cherokee jury, when the case comes up. will render the right verdict, and thus make good the most chivalrous boast of the old Palmetto State. Let Sou'.h Carolina say to the world. “All wo tnen shall be protected while within tho borders of our State.” whether they be to the manner born, or are our guests. We cannot conceive a more terrible reflection upon the proud name of that State, or a fouler reproach to its courts of justice, than that such a vile deed, and cold-blooded murder, should be permitted to go un avenged and unwhipped of justice. WOMEN AND SOCIETY. [Address communications for this col umn to P. O. Box 304.1 A great many circular skirts are noticed; also a number of the um brella fashion, with bias seams at the front and a decided fullness at the'side gores as they near the bot tom. The modish skirt has lost all top fullness that it took on when clinging styles decamped. Some of the smart est models are almost glove-fitting at the top but have a flare at the bot tom. The popularity of the Empire modes is shown in the garments for children as well as in those of their elders. The popularity of the sailor suit for both boys and girls seemingly in creases each season. One of the new skirts for a Miss or a girl is formed of seven gores, with a tuck at each side seam and at in tervals between the seams and stitch ed to yoke or deep flounce depth. Guimpe dresses remain in vogue for small girls, and a pretty feature of such modes is the Bertah collar fin ishing the low neck. The French design for little girl’s frocks are always becoming. • • • Mrs. R. S. Lipscomb has gone to Spartanburg for a few days. Capt. and Mrs. Sarratt and son have gone on a visit to Union.

His A Serous Blow to the Dispensary. (Charlotte Observer.) Unless the people change their minds or the Legislature now in ses sion takes some action to prevent its downfall, it Is probable that the decis ion of the South Carolina Supreme Court upholding the constitutionality of the Brice act. with the exception of the penalty clause, will mean practi cally the end of the dispensary system in that State. The Brice act provides that a county may by vote of the peo ple close the dispensaries within Its borders. The advocates of the grea moral irstitution succeeded in attach ing to the measure the provision that counties voting out the dispensary counties voting out the dispensary should receive pone of the profits from the liquor business that they had been getting for school purposes, and if we remember aright the adverse vote also carried with it the provision for a spe cial tax levy to keep down the illegal sale of whiskey in case it was found necessary to invoke it. The dispen sary advocates reckoned that the sur render of their share of the school fund and the liability of having to pay the special tax would deter counties from voting to close up their wh’Hk^' shops. That they were mistaken ;s shown by the fact that in some four teen or more cases in which election. 1 have been held, so far only three, wt believe, have voted to retain the dis-, pensary. If this was the result in the face of the Imposition of the penalty, there would seem to be hardly an limit to the adverse vote since the Su preme Court has decided that) no pen- 1 alty can be inflicted. The immediate result of the decision will be to close the dispensaries in the large towns of Spartanburg. Green ville, Anderson and a number of small-1 er places, where adverse votes have been recorded,, but the closing pre vented by temporary Injunctions, all of which are dissolved by the Supreme Court's decision. It would seem that in view of this blow to the system the Legislature would he impelled to take some action regarding the liquor business. A num ber of bills on the subject have al ready been Introduced. U HE above picture of the man and fish is the trade mark of Scott’s Emulsion, and is the synonym for strength and purity.

If the cod fish became extinct it would be a world-wide calam- itv, because the oil that comes from its liver surpasses all other fats in nourishing and life-giving properties. Thirty years ago t i»e proprietors of Scott’s Emul sion found a way of preparing cod liver oil so that evervone can take it and get the full value of the oil without the objectionable taste.
