[ NOTES AND COMMENTS. ! n
I ! lJ
Governor Ellerbe makes out a ^
bad case against .1 udge Simonton,, C
y ; the great usurper, in bis message. j
_ i lie doesn't use as vigorous Ian-j 81
; gunge in his "bill of indictment" ?
~ as did Tillman and Evans,but it is h
- evident that he had vigorous lan- 11
guage in his mind.. And next time
ho had as well use it, if it isn't too h
. bad to print. It would do no good, n
but it makes entertaining read- ti
ing; and one had as well speak ^
his mind when discussing Ruch ?
men as Simonton?he couldn't say h
1 anything too bad. a
6 n
1 I do not know, but I believe
1 f 1
the Legislature would make a
' mistake if it were to follow the ?
advice of the Governor and elim- *
e inate the prolit feature of the dis- c
pensary. The friends of the dis- 11
e pensary do not believe iu it for
e the money there is iu it?there ''
are other ways of dealing with c
the liquor question that more ?
money could be made for the 0
State than can be made by the P
k dispensary law ; but at the same 11
I, time they believe, or most of them n
. do, that it is best, for several reu
.. I sons, that something should be 81
? ! made out of it. c

" On its face the suggestion that
j all places where liquors are sold ^
?dispensaries as well as original
package houses?he required to ^

pay a license seems 10 be a good .
one?seems to he a way to get 1
'round Simonton's decision, liut,1
t
there is no telling; if a mean man
wants to do a mean thing ho can \
generally find a way to do it, if 1
not one way, then another.

OBITUARY. f
On Tuesday night, January 11, 1898,
the cruel, relentess messenger of death
entered the home and took from its
midst little Steve, the little six-yearohl
son of Mr. and Mrs. W.J.Williams.
The funeral services were conducted ji
yb Rev.S. S". Watson at Douglas churchy 7*
where his remains were interred on
Wednesday,Jan. 12. Steve was^n bright,
amiable child and on account of his
affectionate disposition was loved by
all who knew him. Though it is hard
to give him up we bow in humble ?ub- ^
mission to His will, realizing that ho
has been transplanted from a cold
and aterile earth to the beautiful Kden
beyond. Weep not, then, dear parents
for your loved one is gone to Iliiu who
said. "Suffer little children to come
unto me"?and nestled nafe under tho
shadow of His all-protecting wing,
he will wait and watch for loved ones
left behind.
"I'arents bonding o'er tho bed
Whoro your llttlo ono ha? laid;
I)ld you know tliu transformation
That tho sloop of Death has made?
Think: his little reel had only murt<*l
In tho path besot with sin;
When tho Gates of Ilcaven opened
And thoy let your darling In.
Yes wo kiss tho lips at parting
While the Angels whisper "Corao,"
And forget In human sorrow
That he Is only going Home.
Wo will think how safe forsvor.
In tho hotter Holds above,
The young lamb for which we sorrow
Kosteth now In Jesus' lovo."
