Woman Forged Check.
th
S. M. Rice, Jr., E. IT., came Vi
3ar being the loser in a $10 check M
rgery May 8th. A negro woman, $1
annie Sims, who worked for Mr. as
ice at the time, passed the bogus a
icck at Mrs. D. N. Wilburn's li
ore, where she bought 38 cents c<
orth of goods. The check was
redited on deposit here, but on
eing sent to the Merchants and tl
'armors' Bank of Gaffney, where it \
'as payable, it was returned pro- 1
estcd. 7
Mr. Rice at once investigated the d
natter, and charged this woman J 1
tannic Sims with the deed. She c
lenied, stating that Henry *Young7 n
>f Greenwood, had sent her the c
hock. This seemed a plausible (
ale since it was made payable to 11
young and endorsed on the back <
by him. However the check was
rather a muddled affair being
signed S. M. Jr. Rice, and not
filled out in the usual way.
The woman was released by Mr. i
Rice to go search for the letter in
which the check had been sent her. i
She was not under any bond and !
has not been seen since. Mr. Rice
will swear out another warrant and
have her prosecuted.
It is believed that the woman
found the blank check in the pocket
of Mr. A. G. Sarratt, who was living
at Mr. Rico's.

lie key position taken by Dr. '
lor in his lectures was that aleo-j 1
which is the essential property ' I
dl alcoholic liquors, and the I <
filling in them for which men\ _
IdV/w&rphine, chloral and co-| '
e, and that therefore it should !
nit to such uses only as are suit- I
to its nature, and be legislated
n with as much care and restricl
as are exercised concerning
gs, with which it is properly
isiticd. This, he affirms, is the,
v solution of the liquor problem,;
ausc it is thoroughly scientific j
1 incontrovertible.
>0111 this point of view he reach-;
the following conclusions which
ated something of a sensation:
1. There is no more reason in;
idem science for the beverage use |
opium, morphine or cocaine.
I. The appetite for liquor is as
normal, unscientific and inexcus- J
le as is the appetite of the morine
fiend, and the user of liquor,
ght to be as much ashamed of his
bit as is the user of morphine. j
3. The moderate use of alcohol is
unsafe in begetting an uncon- \
illablo appetite as the moderate
e of cocaine in Coca Cola which i
e courts havo recently called in |
lestion as a safe beverage, although j
dy one-four hundredth of a grain !
cocaine was used in every average
ass of Coca Cola.
4. There is no more reason in
lodern science for the legalization
f the sale of liquor for beverage'
urposes than for the legalization, i
>r the same purposes, of morphine}
r cocaine.
5. A saloon or dispensary is therc>re
as much out of place in modern ;
ivilization as would be an opium
jint or a cocaine den.
0. The policy of regulation by
axation of the liquor traffic and
lie use of the money for civic purjoscs
is as unworthy of intelligent
itizens as would be a similar policy
f the drug in question wore cocaine.
7. The common argument, viz:
'They will have it anyhow, therefore
let us get some money out of it
to lessen taxes," is as contemptible
as would be the same argument
concerning morphine.
8. The violator of a prohibition
liquor law is as much of a criminal
deserving punishment, as would 1m
the seller of morphine or cocaine t<
a miserable slave to cither of thos
drugs.
9. The sentiment of a communit;
should be as intelligent and stron
in enforcing the prohibition of tb
sale of liquor as for the enforcemei
of any other drug law.
10. The prosecution of olTende
< (or violating liquor laws is as instil
