THE DISPENSARY FIGHT.
The dispensary flfcht has
reached a crisis; about this
there can be no doubt. The
war cannot be stopped now;
whether wise or unwise, it must
be pushed to a finish. Even if
there were a desire on either
side to back down, it would be
impossible for matters have pro
ceeded too far for anything like
this Those who disapprove of
the fight, and they are by no
means confined to the members
of the Tillman faction, have to
submit to the inevitable and
await the outcome jusf as those
who approve of the fight have
to do.
Of course, on account of the
many sensational turns the
fight has taken, everybody is
awaiting with eager curiosity
further developments that the
near future is sure to bring
about. We are promised a sen
sational trial for contempt to
morrow and what will follow is
a matter of great speculation to
everybody. Indeed the ques
tion has assumed so serious a
shape and the legal complica
tions have become so great that
the mind of the average man is
becoming more and more be
wildered as he tries to keep up
with each stage of the fight.
Our advice to him is to do as we
are doing, abide patiently the
result.
There is one thing upon which
the advocates of the dispensary
and its opponents agree. All,
irrespective of their views on
the question, wish a speedy end
to it. When it is decided one
way or the other peace will
come and this is what every
body wants Of course no one
can predict with accuracy what
the final decision will be, but it
is generally believed that the
dispensary will win. But what
ever be the result let us have
peace after the fight is ended,
for wo can hardly expect it be
fore then. •
Mr. T. J. Price took a trip to
Lake City last week.
We had fine seasons the past
week and all vegetation has
put on a better appearance.
Mrs. Jacobs, the mother of
Mrs. W. L. Galloway, is spend
ing a while at Mr. B. A. How
ell’s.
There is one of our young men
who is very much stuck up; no
thing strange, though, for he
has been sojourning in the Tar
Heel State.
We have been reporting for
The News a longtime and have
now to chronicle the first in
stance of theft in this section.
Last week some unknown per
son went into Mr. M. Marco’s
millhouse and took a side of
meat, the property of Mr. Rosier
Kelley. Whoever the ,ellow
may be he had best keep it a
profound secret.
A large number of our people
went from this place to Red
Springs, N. 0., on an excursion
on Wednesday of last week, re
turning the same day. They
report a jolly time. The train
did not stop at Syracuse and
while some of our friends were
left they would not be outdone.
They took the regular passenger
train and spent the day in Dar
lington. The supposition is that
the V. 8. & N will know when
they go to Red Springs again.
—i « —
City, K&ns., on Thursday, the
strikers were led by about one
hundred women who fought sa
hard as the men.
An excursion train, carrying
a large number of Sunday-
school children, was wrecked at
■East Aurora, N. Y., on Wednes
day night of last week and
twenty people were injured.
On Friday at Metropolis, III.,
Richard Shoemaker killed two
men named Lukens, seriously
wounded their father, and then
committed suicide. All parties
were of high social standing.
Robert McMahon and Robert
Caton became involved in a
fight in Sevier county, Tenn.,
on Saturday. Eighteen pistol
shots were exchanged. Caton
roceived six wounds and was
killed.
Miss Frankie Jehnke, 1C
years of age, was murdered and
her body thrown into a creek
near Ennis, Texas, on Wednes
day of last week. Suspicion
points to a negro as the perpe
trator of the foul deed.
The coroner’s jury, which in
vestigated the recent fire at the
World’s Fair which caused the
death of sixteen persons, has
fixed the blame upon several of
ficials of the fair and the officers
of the company which had the
exhibit in the burned building.
A race riot between Polish
and Hungarian miners took
place at Priceburg, Penn., on
Friday. The combatants filled
themselves with whiskey and
took possession of the town. A
reign of terror followed. Over
thirty people were injured.
THE TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATIONS.
No association has been or
ganized in Darlington county
in recent years that can be
made of more practical benefit
to our people than the teachers’
associations, white and colored.
Everyone interested in the great
cause of education should give
these associations a helping
band. No greater benefit can
be conferred upon the young
than to give them thorough ed
ucational training.
The State has been very gen
erous in the matter of higher
institutions of learning. To
white boys are given the South
Carolina College, Clemson, and
the Citadel. These institutions
cannot be excelled and all who
graduate from them receive a
complete education. To the
white girls the State will soon
open the doors of an industrial
college and there our sisters
and daughters will get excellent
training in practical knowledge.
But in order for our youth to
enter these higher institutions
they must first be well ground
ed in the elementary branches
of education^ and this can only
be done through our schools.
Hence the importance of im
proving them is readily seen.
There is no better way to ele
vate the schools than by the
formation of teachers’ associa
tions. The teachers are thus
brought closely together, goodis
derived from the free inter-
changeof views and experiences,
and interest in educational mat
ters is increased. With the
people generally and the teach
ers in particular increasing their
interest in the schools the result
will be that the pupils will be
given better advantages and
greater incentives to learn.
What is applicable to the
white people is also applicable
to the colored. Their children
have Claflin University and
Benedict Institute; now let
_j them be thoroughly prepared
for the higher education thus
JllliP offered them. •
CARTERSVILLE.
The weather is quite warm.
Miss Clara Bailey, of Florence,
is visiting Mrs. E. P. Tolson of
this place.
TheBaptirt Sunday-school is
preparing for “Children’s Day”
which will be held in August.
Mr. Boyd McLaughlin opened
a large school at St. Paul on
Monday last. He has over for
ty pupils.
Mr. Joseph Meyers, a young
fa'
Judge Norton has refused to
interfere with the Greenville
dispensary. He says that three
sections of the act are unconsti
tutional, but as he does not know
whether this will effect the va
lidity of the entire act, he gives
the law the benefit of the doubt.

On Thursday last, during a
thunder storm, lightning struck
and instantly killed Stephen
Wilson, colored, who lives on
Martin Mims’s place, near town

At the beginning of the hen^r season
the crew all try to seize the h^nng first

If it i* a male, their fishing may be ex
pec ted to be a poor one: if a female, a
good one. Sometimes, however, the
skipper secure* it and hides it away, salt
ing it and laying it past for the season
The boat must not be turned against the
sun. Certain animals considered of ill
omen must not be spoken of in the boat
and ministers in this respect occupy the
same place as rabbits, hares and pigs.
Fishermen do not like to lend anything
to a neighboring boat, lest their luck
should'go with it If they lend a match,
they will contrive—secretly if possible-
to break it and keep part, hoping thereby
to retain their luck. Their dislike to
have anything stolen is increased by the
fear that the thief may have stolen their
luck with it To ask the question
“Where are you golngr of any one who
is going on board is equivalent to de
stroying all his chances for that time

haste, only to tell her that his older
brother had “told a lie,” as he expressed
it “He said Mary broke bis top when
he broke it hisself, and so he told a lie,’'
the cherub explained, and then hastened
back to his play perfectly satisfied now
that he had had an opportunity to use
