Quoth Attorney General Peeples:
4'For my part, I would die and go
Id hell l?efore l?y my vote I would
rut off the right of suffrage in Williamsburg
or any other munty."
And straightway did Attorney General
Peeples proceed t<? vote to deprive
a majority of the people of
' - A.J
Williamsburg, county wno yoieu
against the dispensary of their right
of suffrage.
Since the year 1890 there have
l>een foun eleetions on the whisky
question in Williamsburg county
and every time a majority of the
votes cast were against the sale of
whisky. Vet, except for the past,
four years, whisky has l>een sold
almost continuously in the county.
And wecallthisa democratic government?"of

A uarenuon county man is uported
to luive killed a doe with ;i
pistol last week. Quite a feat of)
marksmanship, to he sure, hut isn't
there some kind of law against killing
does in this State with a pistol
or any other deadly weapon? What
with catching sturgeon in?the 1'ee
Dee river and killing does in Clarendon
county in violation of the
game law, and exploiting the prowess
of the sportsmen in the newspapers
right under the noses of the
game wardens,the game laws apjnar
to be relegated to a state of "innocuous
desuetude."

the matter of reckless driving and
loose horses and mi)les on the
streets. All along through the day
the streets are filled with little tots
going to or coming from school,
many of whom are scarcely more
than babies and unable to take care
of themselves when threatened with
galloping 'horses or speeding automobiles.
Tuesday, we are informed,
several small children were return -

BLEASE FACTION INTENDED TO
BOLT IF JONES HAD BEEN
DECLARED ELECTED.
I I
The Bennettsville Advocate has'
! received the following open letter
for publication:
, Hon George R Rembert,
Columbia, S C.
Respected Sir: You make an uncalled
for attack on me in the public.
prints which I shall not allow to
go unnoticed. You wrote a letter
'attacking Senator J L McLaurin
and sent it to one of your henchmen
in Anderson, who signed it and 1
gave it to the paper there. The
editor of the paper. Col Y H Ches-!
hire, taxed the party with it and he
! confessed. Yuu were "caught with
the goods," and to escape the consequences
of your puerile conduct1
you divert attention to "Bull Moose" j
Beard. 1 had nothing whatever to
do with the matter. I am not a
candidate. I have no connection of
any kind with Senator McLaurin
other than friendship and I brand
your statement as wilfully and
maliciously false. You say I have
been attacking you for three months.
This is also untrue. I said in the
interview that you were not "gubernatorial
timber." I am sure that
r> nAtiairlorfltinn of vour in
a uiiuui wuuivtvtv ??
ane bombastics would convince any
intelligent observer that I understated
this proposition. I have
heard many, (not half as well informed
as I) say that they did not
want a "cheap imitation."
Your reference to "Bull Moose"
comes with iil grace. You are as
much "Bull Moose" as I. You know
as well as I do that I was only a
small pawn in the game last year.
Every indication pointed to the fact
that certain influences dominating
the Jones crowd intended to count
Blease out and you, as well as I, intended
to go to the general election
with a full independent ticket if

in a letter from me to The News
and Courier during that period
putting out such a ticket, which,
by the way, you did not protest
against at the time. All of us, you
as well as I, took advantage of the
Progressive party to provide the
machinery for such a contest at the
general election. Am I to be the
scapegoat? This threat is what
kept John Gary Evans and others
from forcing the issue. It is also
what frightened Tillman into line.
I did my duty as I saw it and I am
willing to take my medicine like a
man. But I refuse to permit one
J of the men who was as much in
favor of it as I to have the monuI
mental cheek to twit me with "Bull
Moose." You are tarred with the
same stick.
I stated in a letter once that I
would support you as the Bleaseite
candidate if you proved to be the 1
strongest, otherwise I would support
John L McLaurin. I can't help
it because you cannot measure up
to a standard that will lift you out
of obscurity. I have no malice towards
you and after our conversation
on the train going up to Hendersonyille,
cannot understand why
you persist in attacking me. Unless
indeed it be a last desperate effort
to draw to yourself the notice of
the press, which seems to either
have forgotten you or never have 1
had the pleasure of your acquaintance.
This is not the first time I have
had minnows to nibble at my hook
or torn-tits to challenge my fire, but
I have, and do still, refuse to waste
my bait and ammunition on such
trifling targets.
Regretting my inability to afford
Mr Rembert, through a useless and
unproductive controversy, that publicity
he seems so much in need of,

A FAIR WARNING.
One That Shauld Be Heeded by Kingstree
Residents.
Frequently the first sign of kidney
trouble is a slight ache or pain in the
loins. Neglect of this warning makes
the way easy for more serious troubles?dropsy,
gravel, Bright's disease.
'Tis well to pay attention to
the first sign. Weak kidneys generally
grow weaker and delay is often
dangerous. Residents of this locality
place reliance in Doan's Kidney Pills.
This tested remedy has been used in
kidney troubles over 50 years?is
recommended all over the civilized
world. Read the following:
J F Turbeville, 117 S Jarrott St,
Florence, S C, says: "I am confident
that Doan's Kidney Pills are a good
kidney remedy and act just as represented.
Pains in my back annoyed
me a great deal and I also had trouble
from irregular passages of the
kidnpr spprptinns Doan's Kidnpv
Pills gave me relief from these symptoms
of kidney complaint. I have no
hesitation in recommending them."

SHOWING VAGARIES OF FAMF
How Rubinstein, at the Height of
Eminence, Refused Offer That
Meant Great Distinction.
Teresa Carreno, the eminent woman
pianist, indulging in reminiscences
of her career of fifty years before the
puhllc, tells a story of TscnaiicowpKi
and Rubinstein, which. In one respect.
Is Illuminating.
Rubinstein, the great Russian mas
ter, composer and performer of his
time, Is seated In his study when
Tschalkowskl arrives and humbly
asks permission to dedicate to the
great man a concerto for piano and orchestra.
Rubinstein examines the
composition hastily; flies Into a terrible
rage; shakes his leonine head
rnd asks the affrighted Tschalkowskl
how he dares to offer to dedicate this
"trash" to a man of such eminence.
Thereupon, Tschalkowskl leaves the
house, and by chance, meeting the
conductor Von Bulow, offers him the
dedication, which is accepted. %
Observe the mutations of time!
Rubinstein was a great musician, a remarkable
performer, but not a composer
of the fl' " rank by any means.
Tschalkowskl has sprung Into the first
rank of composers and is generally regarded
by musicians as one of the
greatest musical geniuses Russia has
produced.
A dedication by him of one of his
works Is In Itself title to unusual distinction,
and will make for the perpetuation
of any one's fame, while, as
the years bring a lessening of memory
of Rnhinstein's wonderful playing, his
reputation Is bound to diminish.
Thus, even the pet of fortune and
circumstances can afford to be courteous,
for posterity often rewards cour.
tesy and properly punishes overweening
self-esteem.
TELLS OF BROTHER NOVELIST
Interesting Reminiscences Related by
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of Qeorge
Meredith.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, speaking at
the annual dinner in aid of the Newsvenders*
Benevolent and Provident institution,
gave some personal reminiscences
of George Meredith.
In the year 1894-5 Sir Arthur visited
the novelist at his residence at Boxhill,
in Surrey. "When I went there I
inadvertently offended him in one
?"T' XJq mat m a at th A door. He
told me he had Just come from the
top of a high hill near the park. I
expressed my amazement. He asked
me why I was so surprised, and I said
I thought he was an Invalid. He said
that would be the sort of compliment
one would pay to an octogenarian.
"Subsequently a maid servant
brought In a jelly or blanchmange, and
Meredith, looking at the shivering
lump, expressed himself in a characteristic
phrase?Just such a one as he
would put in the mouth of one of his
characters. He said, 'The jelly
seems as treacherous as a Trojan
horse.'
"Meredith was fond of a bottle of
wine, but his state of health when
I saw him forbade him taking any inlAvUanl

with cobwebs brought up for me, and
asked If I could drink somo. I said I
did not think there would be any difllculty.
I finished the bottle, and Mera
dlth expressed his gratification, saying
that on one occasion some one
only drank one glass of a bottle he
had opened and he had the mortification
of seeing the rest of the contents
wasted."?London Mail.
Instalment Plan,
The late Police Captain William H.
Hodgklns, of New York, who died
fram cardiac strain that he brought
on by reducing his weight over fifty
pounds In three weeks, hated corpulence,
and often regaled his friends
with anecdotes that had corpulence
for their butt.
"I went to a melodrama the other
night," Captain Hodgklns said one
afternoon to a police reporter. "The
heroine was fat?fatter than myself.
"In the second act she fell over
board, and the hero, a little, scrawny
chap, plunged after her, and seemed
to be having a good deal of difficulty
in swimming with her toward ths
yacht
"As the hero splashed and strur
gled under his heavy burden a god
yelled from the gallery:
"TouU never do it that way, bo!
Save what you can now, and come
back for the rest Hake three tripe,
If necessary.'"
When Murray Tackles Oedipus.
Classical scholars have not exactly
complained, but have pointed out
that when Prof. Gilbert Murray translates
Euripides into English verse he
slides that dramatist over his rough
spots by doing mediocre Euripides
into gorgeous and splendid Murray.
It is better than Euripides, to be sure;
but it isn't Euripides. There will be
no difficulty of this kind in Professor
Murray's newest task, the Oedipus
Colonus. Murray at his murrayest
will have all he can do to keep up to
the sustained elevation of Sophocles.
But there Is hardly a living hand
worthier of the task, and Joy be the
consequence.?Boston Transcript.
Asking Too Much.
A large shepherd dog owned by Dr. j
George W. Bowers was run over by
an automobile on High street at 7:30 j
o'clock Wednesday evening and was
killed. The occupants of the automo- :
bile stopped and returned to the
scene, but the dog ran away.?Mobile

You would scarcely expect It to remain
and be killed a second timet
