I THURSDAY, MARCH 3' ,S?*' I The News and Courier. The Charleston News and Courier Announces that the price of its daily edition, including the Sunday News has been reduced to eight dollars a year to out-of-town subscribers. In the City of Charleston, where it is delivered by carriers, the price of the dailv and Sundav edition is ten dol lars a year. Iq making the announcement of this substantial reduction in price the News and Courier adds: "It is hoped and believed that the reduction in the subscription price of the paper will result in a large increase in its circulation, and that the great reduction in price, which is made, will be fully justified by a great increase in the number of its readers, and in the value of its pages to both - local and general advertisers. The reduction in the price of the News - and Courier and the Sunday News I amounts to four dollars a year"'. * Jj The News and Courier is ably edited and stands for what is best and highest in Southern journalism. We are glad to note that the price of subscription has been reduced to meet the popular demand, and we join our valued cnratemporarv in the hope that the reduction in price may be amply justified by the in crease m circulation. Our Sheriff. Sheriff Graham is getting bouquets howered upon him by reason of the course he pursued in a situation of extreme peril, where a single false step might have added another lynching to the black reoord of the ^ State, or in the event of a collision between the mob and the authorities, the blood of good men might have been spilled for the sake of a worthlees negro criminal. His course |?: throughout the affair is worthy of the highest commendation, and we feel sure that even the parties who ; v nere opposed to him, in the cold -r;? sober light of reason, cannot censure him for dome his datv as a sworn . ? J officer of the law. We are free to say that for one crime lynching seems to be the beet way to dispose of the criminal?just a quiet hanging, without torture or fiendish barbarity, which is too often ' " practiced. But there was no such crime in this case. If the negro Williams be guilty of murder he will undoubtedly be harged legally. There is no possible chance for him to escape. When it is only a question of a few month's delay why disregard the law and t take the life of & human being? We can see absolutely no necessity therefor, and in the name of law and order and for the honor of Williams- j wfi f?-el grateful to| bhwiil <jtiuLuiu :u; ..u ? ' prisoner in the tactful waj that he! did. : . - i A Long Range Critic. An attempt was made at Kings tree Thursdad night to lynch a negro prisoner charged with murder. *The sheriff telegraphed the governor "What to do?" and the governor advised the bringing of the prisoner to Columbia. \Ve do not like this method of running from mobs; it is an acknowledgement of weakness, of inability to maintain the law in that community. But when a |sheriff asks the governor "What to do," the governor may be pardoned for not having con tj deuce in the sheriff's doing what he shoulu do and therefore recommending flight. The sheriff's duty was unquestionably, to protect the piisoner at all hazards. There was not the shadow I of excuse for a lynching. A half j dozen deputies, properly armed, stationed in the jail would, have set; tied the question. There would i have been no lynching and no running. The "determined mob" where there is danger to face is a popular fiction; the bold and unawed sheriff, ! mighty in his determination to make the law triumph, is almost as tare. The Columbia State. It is easy enough to suggest how a better method might have been adopted in the face of difficulty and danger when the person who does the suggesting is out of touch with the difficult and dangerous enviromeut. In our opinion Sheriff Giaham did perfectly right in taking his prisoner away from the mob. Suppose lie had defended the jail and possibly shot one or two of the men demanding admittance, or mayhap had some of his deputies killed or wounded. He would never had ceased to reproach himself for nr?f jirniilinor ?v rliffiiMl !f v whon htt had the opportunity to do so. Discretion is always the better part of valor, and while no one who knows Sheriff Graham would for an instant attribute to him any lack of the former quality, we congratulate both him and the county on his having displayed as much discretion as valor in the affair under the discission. Sheriff Graham's head is level* A military company is being organized in Bennettsville and it is said that the captaincy will be tendered to Ex-Senator John L McLaurin. Should the former Senator accept the command it is to be hoped that he will be more successful than he was as a "captain of industry." , Meeting of Camp Pressley. There will be a meeting of Camp Pressley in the Court House on Monday the 7th inst., at 12 o'clock. All the old veterans are earnestly requested to attend this meeting (whether they are members of the camy or not) as business of importance to them will be transacted. G. J. Gkahm, Adjt.

THE SCRANTON DISPENSARY, j f: i h A Correspondent Thinks That the Doors j of Hell Have Been Unlocked. U The following communication was ' 01 i rcct-ivfd fi0111 Scrmiton last Wednes- pi day with the request that it he [nib- j w j lulled, "e?ery word of it," in last; si i week's issue. On account its bela-; r; I ted arival it was impracticable to w ; publish it last week, but we give it 01 in full this week, unchanged and h unabridged. ' S Scran ton*, February 23:?On Sat-j nrday, February the 20t.li, the dis I pensary here at Scrantou was opened il< | by authority of the Board of Con-: n ; trol vested in the power of three jU ! men. One of the number came ?in I i j T I person and unlocked the doors of ! hell, where a swarm of human mag-1 : gets groped all day long, and at eve-; 11 I ning trailed themselves out in dif-p | ferent directions, throwing the Is stench of their odiousuess into the i nostrils of all who were forced to;0 come in contact with them. These i were at last bisters, wives, children i i and mothers. Were they not often-J !ded? Weak ones, who trusted their! welfare to those who took away the I <1 frugal savings from the family and j' brought back abuses on their ^ drunken tongues? Yes, they were c all hurt bv these offenses; '"but woe '' r unto him through whom they come, t, It were beetter for him that a millstone were hanged about, his neck and n I be cast into the sea, than that he lb should offend one of these little f1 I) ! ones." Who are the little ones? | Not only the little children looking ? | to parents for adniouitiou, but those J,' boys and mind (a great percentage f* of whom cannot write or read their ^ names) looking to the better informed b class for example, who set a decoy to ? to undermine ' their true manhood. Instead, of instructing them to ictain supremacy of the white race on ^ the soil earned by the blood of our patriotic fore-fathers, they put in their hands the poison that sends them reeling arm 111 arm with a thievish, unprincipled negro. Is it j much wonder that the negro in tnru ^ j tries to embrace the white man's k daughter? j!' Would it not be wiser for us to: si use our town tax money and surplus . , * ' l< to educate our white children, rather j j than hire lawyers to plead for a dis- j o peusary? Everything has two sides. j ^ Let us hear the argument of those < who advocate a dispensary. They say1 d "it will keep away blind-tigers." j j Past experience shows that where j one "blind tiger" existed without a; .1 i Qltun O.I fl iron flinro :i (lis- I n V4 IO|/V*ICm J y till VV Villi >v niviv ? v..w ? pensary is established, for this reu-1 son: some few will boldly sign their; names upon the dispensary register, i t> get the stuff and deal it out to boys ^ under age and sneaks who are de- I h ceiving themselves that "no oneijl knows". "When one is bereft of reason, is disorderly, doing damage, p committing crime, the tiger dressed j. in the blood-bedabbled Joseph's coat | of State, gets the credit of doing j such clever tricks. Yes, it throws a shadow dark enough to conceal as dangerous things as "blind-tigers". E But the State does it. After all, what is the State? Only a body of men past the age of twenty-one, whose form and being hive been brought to this manhood by the watch-care of woman. Three times a day she toils over the steaming cook-pots, raising a mighty "temple j not made with hands," which she ! dedicates ti:e 11 io the commonwealth, asking for this great labor of over two decades, only protection aud in this case gets humiliation. Another j plea is that "the town will be lighted and other improvements-! A j, ti-, 1-1 ?! niaue. ?v uu uuuiu chju> iuc um liancy of a thousand electric bulbs, when it puts out the light of just so many souls? It takes even a kerrosehc lamp from the table of the poor and needy ones and sends thei r family'to break crusted bread for supper,- over 6moking lightwood knots. Says a third, "it will profit the; public schools." What use to run a ! school for children too poor to buy j books? What use in schooliug id-] iotic offspring of alcoholism? Why ' not give them the heritage of a "sound mind, in a sound body?"! The most flattering argument is that) | "a dispensary will draw trade".

This remedy ?also used by physicians in the reatuient of pneumonia with the est results. Dr J J Smith, of ianders, Ala., who is also a dracist, says of it: "I have been *eliijr Chamberlain's Cough Itemedy nd prescribing it in my practice >r the east six years.
