ANOTHER BAD STEP.
Another very objectionable
piece of business has been done
in making preparations incident
to converting the S(,ate into a
barkeeper. As already shown
South Carolina has been put up
on the same footing with the
rumseller, inasmuch as the
State will sell liquor for profit.
It is the desire of Governor
Tillihan that this profit shall be
as large as possible and as an
aid in this direction he conceiv
ed the idea of reducing the
freight charges for shipping on
railroads the liquor to be used
in the dispensary. This would
help to cut down expenses and,
consequently, increase the pro
fits. The Railroad Commission
was, therefore, called together
and the scheme was quickly
carried out. The commission
fixed a new schedule for liquors,
greatly reducing the freight
thereon. Can anything be
more unfair than that the rail
roads shall be made to carry li
quor at reduced rates because
it is intended for the State
bars ?
Commissioner Thomas, it is
stated, voted against the new
schedule and he scored a good
point when he said that, if any
reduction be made, it should be
made on cotton or some other
commodity that would make
the reduction ot direct beaefit
to the farmers and other people.
By the action of the commission
the reductiqn is made in favor
of the liquor traffic.
The day after the new sched
ule of the commission was made
public the Governor became
very indignant when shown a
letter from a Northern capital
ist, in which the writer stat*
ed that he and some of his
friends wished to invest money
in South Carolina, but were de
terred from doing so because
the impression prevailed at the
North that the present State ad
ministration is antagonistic to
capital and corporaticns. The
Governor said that this im
pression originated from the
lies told by those in South Caro
lina who are opposed to the
present administration. We
are surprised that he should
have said this just in the wake
of the commission’s action,
which, it is said, was instigated
by him. If to compel the rail
roads to carry freight at a price
entirely incommensurate is not
discriminating against corpora
tions, what is it ? The commis
sion could with just as much
propriety compel the railroads
to carry the liquor for nothing.
DARLINGTON'S CARNIVAL.
It is hoped that themovement
inaugu rated at t^he mass meeting
of the citizens of the town on
Friday night to have a carnival
at this place in the fall will be
successfully carried out. It will
be a great advertisement for
Darlington and the business
men should support it to a man.
The merchants particularly will
derive great benefit from it on
account of the large crowd that
will surely come. The recent
carnival in Columbia cleared
all expenses and the success at
tending similar affairs in other
cities shows that we, too, can
have a great festival. What
others can do, Darlington’s citi
zens can do. Let the city open
her gates to visitors, that the
world may know that “we are
the people” and that Darlington
is indeed the “Pride of the Pee
Dee.” |
There will be no trouble about i
attractions. A number of them
may easily be arranged. With
our fine race track and splendid
horses capital races may be had
and now that Darlington has
so many wheelmen we may also
have bicycle races. Encourage
the cdming of horses and bicy
cles from other points and we
shall have exciting contests in
these lines. Then there is the
competitive drill. This will at
tract some of the State’s crack
military companies. A good

THE JA _ IS SECURE.
Silas B. I IBs’ escape from
prison has ci used considerable
comment, b< ause the jail,
which is one of the best in the
country, wa considered proof
against such occurrences and,
in fact the P; wley Jail Co, who
built it, guar nteed ittobesuch.
The jail is ail right, the cause
of the troub e being that the
door of the ci 11 aijoining Bass’
was left unlocked. For this
Bom., peoph are disposed to
blame Mr. Y; ncy Scarborough,
the jqilor. ’his, we think, is
unjust. It w as neither malfea
sance nor c '.relessness on his
part; the mot t that can be made
of it is that t was an error of
judgment—a i error which any
man similar y situated would
be liable to i take. He did not
think it nece sary that Deo cells
should be h eked in order to
keep a prisor er safe in one. To
most men thi i would have seem
ed as unnece sary a precaution
as it did to Mr. Scarborough.
Taking ever) thing into consid
eration we do not see how any
blame can b i attached to him
ami we beli sve the criticisms
are unfair.

HURRA 1* FOR HOKE I
A Pennon Decision Which Will Save

Washingt >n, May 27.—Prob
ably the moi t important decis
ion ever sen from the office of
the Secretar) of the Interior to
the Commis ioner of Pensions
was filod to-< ay. It is believed
by those hi, h in authority in
the Pension iureau that it will
reduce the pi yment of pensions,
under the ai t of June 27, 1890,
between $15, '00,000 and $20,000
000. It invc Ives the repeal of
an order pas: ed by Gen. Ra
and approve! by Assists

this decision for

did he deen it that, when it

he submittei the questions in

GREEN PLAIN.
We had the heaviest rain on
Monday morning that we have
had this year. It was accom
panied by considerable wind
which blew down some of the
oats.
Mr L. E. Esterling takes the
lead for the largest yield of
honey. He claims to have ta
ken between 60 and 75 pounds
from one gum. Who can beat
this ?
The fight between the farm
ers and General Green is very
close. This year’s cotton crop
is behind last year’s by at least
two weeks. Corn is also be
hind and nobody seems to be
bragging on his garden.
We regret to have to announce
the death of Miss Emma Griggs,
which occurred on Tuesday
morning of last week. She was
sixteen or seventeen years old,
of the highest Christian charac
ter and was beloved by every-
body. Her mother, a brother
ami a sister, besides many
friends, remain to mourn her
loss. With much grief we laid
her to rest in the cemetery at
Antioch, on the day following
her death. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. F. M.
Satterwhite in the presence of a
large coucourse of relatives and
friends.

Our farmers are harvesting
the oat crop, which, owing to
the rather dry season, has not
yielded very well.
Mrs. Morris, of Marlboro, ac
companied by her two little
children, is visiting the family
of Mr. L. C. Morris.
Mr. L. C. Morris has a field of

There will be no preaching at
Mechanicsville until the second :

Rev. C L. Dowell, is going off

will be held at the usual hour.
I wish to correct a mistake in
my last letter. The hour for
preaching at New Chapel has
not been changed; services are
still held at 4 o'clock in the af
ternoon on every third Sunday.
A warrant has been issued
for the arrest of Tamur Ken

a number of articles of clothing
and some money. She acknowl

Harris Lithia W ater,
HARRIS’ LITHIA SPRINGS, S. C.
After a long and varied experience in the use of mineral v/atersj from many
sources, both foreign and domestic, I am fc.lly pi rsuaded that the Harris Lith
ia Water possesses efticacy in the treatment of a.flictions of the kidney and
bladder unequalled by any other water of which 1 have made trial.
This opinion is based upon observation of its effects on my patients for the
past three years, during which time 1 ha\i prescribed it freely and almost
uniformly with benefit in the medicable muladits above mentioned.
When failure to relieve has occurred, I have mputed it to insufficient use
of the water, for my experience teaches me that from one to too quarts daily-
should he taken from two to four weeks, to secu -e its full remedial effects.

My wife has been using^your Lithia Water and is very much benefltted. I

Having spent last summer days at your Spring, and having since used sev
eral cases of the Harris Lithia water, I am glad i hat. I can bear willing testi

attract to your place many vititors, and send the water to every part of the
county. G. W. HOLLAND,
