The freaks of an insane Mormon elder^an account'of Whose doings is given in this issue, would be witheat special significance did it not foveiblj remind ns of the fact that tfaeeet emissaries of the Danite church are keeping everlastingly at it in their work of proselyting our people-to their way of thinking. L9ce dther problems that are constantly'with us the ubiquitous Morman will not down and the qoesriou of what to do with him is |. i one that is difficult of solution. As 9 free, independent and libertyloving nation our people regard with abhorrence auything taking the form of religious persecution. And jet when the tenets of a sect are in direct conflict with oar ideas of law, ^morality and decency it seems that there should be some way to put a top to the incursions of its disciples. to Paradoxical as it may seem, upon their weakness these Mormon "missionaries" rely as their strength. ~ Their work is done quietly and systematically along the lines of least resistance. They avoid controversy or disputation and thus inject the winis of their poison where it may do ita deadly work with little chance iter an antidote. And, however painful the truth may be, the Mormons kte securing a foot hold, not only in this county, but iu our whole State. It is only a few years ago that a Mormon conference was held in the -r , city of Charleston and at that con^ ' 1 11 A. I f' terrace, we are whu, mere were r.o . leu than fifty elders who were 10 fMoth Carolina for the dissemination of their doctrine. At this time we do not doubt that the number is f en greater. I Without entering into a discussion of the Mormon religion the fact alone that it allows and even encourages polygamy should be an insuperable barrier to its spread in, this State. South Carolina stands second to none in her reference for woman, bearing the proud distinction standing along without a divorce law in the galaxy of States. The doctrine of Mor Monism strikes ?t the very foundation of her ancient ideals and cherished traditions. It is time our people, and above all our ministers, awoke to the seriousness of this propaganda. Meet these people on *5^ their owfc battle-ground and before the unanswerable argnmeut of the religion of Christ the followers of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young mast slink away afraid and ashamed. Gustarus Franklin Swift, President of the Swift Packing Co., died * y. I in Chicago last Sunday. Mr Swift began life as a butcher and died leaving an estate whose estimated value is $10,000,000. k IPmmmmmm n The State Pension Board. . c There is now *?00,000 appropriated to the j>ension fund and vet notwithstanding the vast sum that is at their disposal, the State pen- '' eion boaid requires the county j! pension board to insert certain notices j in county newspapers and then o refuses to pay for the notices, leaving v the county boards to settle with the o noirsnaiters the lk'ht WaV t!?PV Can, J I~I * which means that the members of e the latter board have to pay the c v money out of their own pockets. For a big and prosperous commonwealth kSouth Carolina, or those who ^ administer her government, has some c strangely niggardly ways. . a ===== i April 11 is the anniversary of , the death of Gen. Wade Hampton. ( ====== ! The business men of Charleston j are preparing to give Senator Till- j j man a rousing w elcome when he h I visits that city this week. i = 1 Notwithstanding Charleston's vig-' j orous protest against the Crum ap-; r pointment it is reported that there * are about one hundred and fiftv ap- c 1 plications for jobs under the negro collector of the port, many of the applicants being white men. At ^ this writing we have heard of hut j one white employee who resigned his - ? -i? , position ratncr umu eerie uuuu | v Crum. == ! Waltzing in South Dakota. j 1 ?. !' (From Bell Fottrehe "Bee."') j The lit tie in form a I dancing parties given in the Gayety from ( time to time ar^ becoming im- , mensely popular. The reason, | possibly, is the innovations in- . froduced by some ot the boys. | Dave Broomfield has declared | that "sitting out" a waltz is now | more fashionable than dancing, , the only difference being von sit , instead of dance. The * man's right arm is around the girl's waist, while Ins leit hand hold- , her right. Her left hand is placed upon Ins shoulders, while . her head rests lovingly on his , manly "buzzitm" and all they , have to do is lo sit and listen to , the music. Now that is something like it. We have always regard- * ed it a nuisance to gallop a mile ( or two in order to get a good hug. A room full of people, silting around on sofas, hugging to music is more gratifying. This will*give the old rheumatic brethren another chance to waltz. Most men waltz not for the dance, but for the i position, ajtd while a man loses hts appetite for dancing he has got to get mighty old before he 1 loses his appetite for hugging a pretty girl. Belle Fonrche is always up-to-date and this new dance is bound to be popular here, for we have not found a man who is not willing to blow in a dollar on the deal. Vet many people wonder why we don't waltz. ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident, i? narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great Joy, the first bottle made a 1 decided improvement. 1 continued their use for three weeks, and am now ( - --"'1 I Irnniv thpr mlitiml t.he grive of another victim."

These scholarships will go into affect next session. Divorce is an epitaph frequently carved on love's tombstone. When a man's spirits are oh ihe ebb he says he hasn't the ghost i)l a show. A woman asks a man's advice ho that later on she can tell him how little he knew. ?L Fortune seems to delight in knocking at the average man's door when lie is absent.
