Kings tree's Opportunity.
In many respects Kingstree has
already overslept her rights. In
ct,for a]century or more,she might
%
truthfully have been called a full
grown town, lacking only, as Mark
Twain would say, a headstone and
' -a footatone and on the former the
anscription, "Finis," to proclaim
*A world th*t further devel- !
W bUV WW* IV VM%.V ?
opment or progress was neither
-needed nor wanted.
Within the past few years, it
is true, this lethargy has been to
some exte.it thrown off and the
old town has taken on a newlease
of life. But we cannot
afford to stand still. Iu fact,
there is uo such thiug as standing
still in material affairs. We
either go forward or backward,
and just now we have arrived at
the turning point?the parting of
* the ways. If we mean to keep
abreast with the procession it certainly
behooves us to be up and
* doing. Resurrect our defunct
Board of Trade, or organize a
...aew one, and get to work. s
:T.he atmosphere is fairly vibrant
'with potential progress, but "the 1
gods help them that help them- ?
aelyes," and if we oontinne wait- t

BLOOD GUILTINESS.
Twelve Homicides Id South Carolina in
Seven Days.
Fro'*.: the newspaper reports f ?r
the seven days from Suuday to
Saturday last week, we learn that
there were twelve homicides in
South Carolina. They are sported
? / v * ^
CO nave occurred in Aiseu, v/ian^cburg,
Florence, Edgefield (2),
Greeuviiie, Spartanburg (2), Darlington,
Saluda. Kershaw and
Charleston counties. Ti is may not
be a complete list; we may have
overlooked some. Among those referred
to, three negroes were killed
by negroes, two whites by negroes,
two negroes by whites and five
whites by whites. Thus it will be
seen that a majoiity of the homicides
were committed by white meu,
and that a majority of the slain
were white. One of these killings
is claimed to be accidental, nine of
them were by pistol shots, two from
knife cuts, and oue from a blow.
The ever-ready concealed weapon,
carried in defiance of law, hurled
human souls into eternity, and living
men into jail, while homes were
made desolate and hearts were
broken and bitter tears are being
shed by innocent sufferers.
That record should cause men to
stop and reflect. Especially should
those who have at heart the welfare
of the State and the protection of
the home, and who regard the sacredness
of human life, consider the
condition of society in South Carolina
as it is testified to bv the bloodv
- - - y w
record of the last week. Iu no one
of the twelve cases repotted is it
stated that the homicide was committed
upon the authority of the
"unwritten law"?a plea all too often
resorted to.
When the law against concealed
ieadly weapons is flagrantly violated
iud iu one week there are twelve
homicides iu this State, it is evident
that there is something wrong. It
nav be the fault of the bench, or
:he bar, or the jury box; it may be
oecause of the loop-hole provisions
)f the statute law; it may be the
naudlin sentiment of the people;
>r it may be a combination of these.
But it is more than probable that
the principal cause is that public
>pinion is asleep to the danger and
mconscious of the responsibility
esting upon individual members of
tociety.
Let the cause be what it may, one
;hiog is certain: Christians should
ipend much time in prayer to God,
md should be instaot in securing
;he conviction and punishment of .
manslayers and all other law breakers,
seeing to it that jnstice is adniniaterad
with a firm hand, though

Our hearts were made sad
Saturday, July 20, when we
learned that two of our lady
friends had died that morning1
Misses Margaret and Agnes
Hannah. Both had had fever
For a number of days when death
:ame and took them about the
same hour. Our neighborhood
is suffering much grief on the
account of these deaths. Margaret
was the daughter of Mr
and Mrs James Hanna, while
Agnes was ner niece ana tne
laughter of Mr and Mrs J H
Elanna.
Numbers of friends and relatives
went to the McClary burying
ground where the two were
[aid to rest at the same time,
Rev S J McConnell conducting
the funeral services.
Oh, Agnes dear, you have left us.
Ana gone to heaven, we trust;
Our only hope to see you
Is to prepare to meet you
For when our loved ones die.
Our only hope to ineet them is be
yond the sky.
While you lived we loved you.
When you died we mourned for you.

8. Years.
This lovely bud so young so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Justcame to show how sweet a flower
In paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed
And bid it blossom there.

The Dispensary Situation.
The latest phase of the dispensary
situation is that the;
supervisors of registration have,
j taken the bull by the horns and ,
; are going over the count}*, visit
ing each voting- precinct, in or- j
j der to get an intelligent idea of
| the actual number of qualified;
| voters in the county, which
; when they revise the names on j
' the petition for an election on ,
; the dispensary question, will:

er or not the petitioners are
entitled to the ordering" of the
election. The board of supervisors
are ill paid and coming
just at this time it is a great
hardship upon them to have to
go to work this hot weather and
make a quasi canvass of the
county, but they seem to be conscientious
about the matter and j
are in earnest in their endeavor
to find out whether or not the
election should be granted.
It is probable that the board
will report their finding to the
county supervisor within the
next week or two. In justice to
all parties this report should be
made at the earliest date possible.
