Tbe Williamsburg Case. /
The Williamsburg case has
1 been settled by the removal of
: two of the members of the dis*
pensary board. The fault of
. these two members did not lie
5 in any abuse of their office, but
5 in failing to measure up to the
strict standards of duty expect
ed by the law. In fact, the
. charges were that the board alt
lowed the clerk to order good9;
that they sometimes bought
P goods in excess of the awards
r! and that they did not always
.' buy the cheapest liquor. They
j were, in fact, ''too easy."
The point that we wish to
t make in. this case is that the
' people of the county of Williamsburg',
just as the people of
the county of Florence and
those of Charleston and Ricbi
land and all the rest of lhe Sfkte
jare under solemn obligation to
J have the county dispensary affairs
carefully looked after
I through the grand juries, so
| that there might not be oppor1!
tunity even for the suspicion of
I rrrn ft :ind few. if anV. of the
f,. M...., v. , -- ,
j grand juries of the State, have
carried out their obligations in
this matter. The dangers of
the county system are becoming
! apparent, just as was predicted
by the men who urged that the
old State system be continued
with provisions for cleansing
and turning the sunlight in on it.

Picnic at Helnemann.
Heinemaxn, May 10.?Quite
an enjoyable picnic was given
on last Friday by Miss Clelia
; Keels to celebrate the closing of
i her school here. The picnic
: v*as a success in every way.
The spot was an ideal one for a
picnic?under the large oaks on
, Mr J P Gamble's avenue.
The branches of the giant
' oaks which line both sides 01
this beautiful avenue meet in
the center, thus forming a beau,
tiful, cool and shady walk for
: nearly two hundred yards.
The school here has just closed
a very successful year with Miss
Keels as teacher.
