E. H. AUIL, EDITOR. COLUMBIA LETTER. Columbia, Dec. 11.-Last night Gov. McSweeney received the following tel egram, signed John P. Haines, presi dent of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals: "It -is reported that bulls owned by R. H. Thomason and H. M. Tillman are to be fought to a finish at Rock Hill Friday next at noon. There are also to be dog and cock fights. This is in direct violation of 2257 and 507 of crim inal statutes of South Carolina. Please take- action to pcevent this violation of law." The governor at once replied to Pres ident Haines as follows: "Have heard nothing of report bull fight Rock Hill. Have wired for par ticulars." He' also at once sent a dispatch to Editor Hull of the Rock Hill Herald re caling the allegitions made by Presi dent Hines and asking to be advised of the facts. This morning the following caine from Rock Hill: "Replying to yours of last night re port referred to appears to be authen tic. Ha id bills circilated anouncing bU figlt, dog fight, cock fights, etc., commencing tomorrow at noon on farm of R. F. Thomason four miles, South east-of Rock Hill. J. J. Hull." The governor when the telegram c eame last night did not think there was anything in the report, but thought best to- wire for particulars. Such sport is in direct conflict with the laws of 'South Carolina. The sections re ferred to by Mr. Haines are in the re gised statutes of 1893. The law is found in Townsend's code at sections 6 to 633 inclusive. The State officers are all busy closing up the year's work and getting their reports ready for the printer. UWSPAPER ENTERPRISE. The Newberry Herald and News last week published the paper daily during the session of Conference. The Her ald and News is one of the most enter prising newspapers in this State, but we venture to est, when the net re sults are sm up, that that newspa per will not again print a daily paper for nference. The Herald and News will get much credit for- enterprise and public spirjt in this matter. The Press and Ranne has, in the past, done a lit tie of that sort of workc, but its cost does not yield big dividends. We have often wondered why as en a newsplaper as The Herald Nw isdoes not throw away its leads and use smaller type.-Press and Banner. We t~hank Brother Wilson for his kma worgis. The next time Conference meets inNiewberry the town will have grown so that a daily will be printed anyway and regularly. We have some *enterpisg merchants who saw the opportimity of getting their goods be fore the people and our daily had a small source ofinoe SOME (ORE BOUQUETS. The Herald and News of Newberry did itself great credit by its publica tion~ of a daily edition during the ses sions of the Methodist Conference. The conception was a happy one and wa exceptionally well carried out. Wiisboro News and Herald.. The Newlerry Herald and News dis played considerable enterprise in'issu ing a daily during the annual session of 'the Methodist Conference in that city during the past week. It was illus trated, contained a full report of each -, -sessaon, many biographical sketenes of the prominent 'members' and other in teresting- ueading matter.-Anderson Intelligeneer. The new * 1la'eetobesoe tbng' of a fac.There is pothing in the Act prohibiting the "lease" of pis tols for ninety years and we venture to *say that as many pistols are "leased" as were sold before the passing of the *Act--Journal and Review. The pistol toting habit will never be cured by legislation. And a law that has not the respect of the people and which can not be enforced tends to breed contempt of all law. In the depth of Gen. E. W. Moise at his home iii Sumter on last Monday night, another link in the chain that binds the South of today to the old South has been broken. Gen. Moise was a gallant Confederate soldier, and was elected adjutant and inspector gen eral on the Hampton ticket in 1876. - Chester's sewerage system cost her about $2,000 per mile of pipe. At this priee were lain some seven or eight miles. Hose Wagon Horses. The city council yesterday purchased from Mr. A. T. Brown a pair of horses for the hose wagon. They are large beys, .well matched, and are beauties. They were secured at a cost of $400. BratIo-Food Now,sense. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authori ties. They have dispelled the silly no tion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particuiar part of the bd,but it will sustain every other1 part. Ye, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must I prepare for their appearance or pre vent their coming by taking regular doses of Green's August Flower, the i favorite medicine of the healthy mil lions. A few doses aids digestion, ' stimulates the liver to healthy action, i -purifies the blood, and makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get t this reliable remedy at W. E. Pelham I &-Son.
