A Word of Explanation. <
In addition to what was said iu last j
week's paper in reference to the cou
tesi. it should be added that in regard
to the voter who requested Mr. Knox
to call on Mr. Bitting for his tax, Mr. j
Knox testilitd that the tax was paid on 1
January 8. Mr. Bitting testified that
in.' got a memorandum of the amount
on December 31st, and that be enterred
up the amount of the tax to Mr. Knox s 1
credit, although it is not shown that j;
Mr. Knox knew of this until tUe «th. ■
when he issued the receipt. Ihe writ
ten evidence does uot show that Mr.
Bitting made exactly that statement,.
but Air Bitting says he did. After all the
payment of this particular tax was a
mere mattci of hook keeping. No
money, at all, was passed at the time,
but on Mr. Billings’ part it was a sim
ple matter of giving Mr. Knox credit
on his deposit account for the amount
of the tax, and charging it up to the
account of the tax payer. The wet
men contended that when this entry
was made to Mr. Knox s credit that it
was at once tubject to his check and
therefore the tax was considered paid,
although the receipt was not issued,
while the dry men insisted that the
j settlement was not completed un'il the
\ receipt was issued. That is all there .

COMMISSIONER ELECTED. |
Rev. Mr. Milner Succeeds
Mr. Jones as School
Commissioner.
The Board of County School com- j
missioners met iu Summerville last ; 1
Saturday for the purpose of electing j
a county school commissioner for the
ensuing four years. A full board was !
present, consisting of the chairman,!
Mr. J. A. Branner, Alessrs G. W.
Morton. Wm. Gamble, J. I*. Holland,
and Rev. L>. T. Espy.
Until the morning of the election it !
was not known for who the candidates j
might be. Both Mr. Jones, who has *
tilled the office the past four years
most acceptably, and Air. Alilner had j
been spoken of, but whether either or !
both would be in the race was uot |
known positively to outsiders.
About noon Air. .Tones made the an- j
nouncement that he would not enter
the race, which left the field clear to
Air. Alilner and he was elected.
Air. Jones leaves the office he has
held the past four years with a most
excellent record behind him. Ilis
! books and accounts have always stood
the scrutiny of the closest examination
;by grand jury committees, aud there
lias never been any complaints of un
| paid accounts, or a lack of careful and
correct business methods in handling
| the school funds, for all of which Air.
•Jones is to be congratulated.
There is every reason to believe that
Rev. Air. Alilner will give the same
: close attention to the interests of the
| schools that his predecessor did, and
| that the good work begun will be car
? ned forwaru in an energetic manner.
1 Air. Alilner is a most careful aeeoun
! taut, is well qualified by education for
the position, and will no doubt make
an enviable record for himself as com
missioner.
The Youth’s Companion of Feb
ruary 13th publishes an unusually
valuable ar iele for young men, by
the Lord Chief Justice of England
on “The Bar as a Profession.”
Sound advice, taken from a long
1 and varied experience and wise en
couragement aro given to young
anti prospective lawyers. It is as
readable as a story, yet will bear
| careful study. .
Os eloquence Lord Russell s iys:
“The desirable thing is to have
something to say; and as to the
manner of saying it, Daniel Web
ster spoki truly in his celebrated
oration in honor of John Adams
when he said, ‘Clearness, force and
earnestness aro the qualities which
produce conviction .’ ” Regarding
the necessary qualifications for
law : “Love of the profession for
its own sake, and physical health
to endure its trials, clear-headed
common sense and ability to wait
are the main considerations to be
taken into account in determining
a choice of the bar as a profession
If the youthful aspirant possesses
these, success is, humanly speak
ing, certain. The lawyer must re
member that while he is fighting
for the interests of his client, there
are greater interests even than
these; the interests of truth and
honor: and he must never forget,
as Sir Alexander Cockburn well
expressed it, ‘that in the battle his
weapon must always be the sword
of the soldier, and never the dag
ger of the assassin.’”
Now is the Time.
j Some writer has given out the
following beautiful thoughts,
which it would be well for you and
I. fellow traveler to the tomb to
ponder carefully;
“Do not keep the alabaster box
es of your love and tenderness seal
ed up until your friends are dead.
Fill their lives with sweetness, i
Speak approving, cheering words
while their ears can hear them, j
and while their hearts can be thrill
ed and made by them, the kind
things you rneau to say when they
are gone, say before they go. The
flowers you mean for their coffins, I
send to brighten and sweeten their I
homes before they leave them. If
my friends have alabaster boxes :
laid away, full of fragrant perfumes
jof sympathy and affection which
they intend to break over my dead
body. I should rather they would
j bring them out in my weary and
i troubled hours, and open them,
that I may be refreshed andcheer
jed by them while I need them. I
would rather have a plain coffin
i without a flower, a funeral without
;an eulogy, than a life without the
sweetness of love and sympathy.
' Let us learn to anoint our friends
beforehand for their burial. Post -
mortem kindness does not cheer
the troubled spirit. Flowers on
the coffin cast no fragrance back
ward over life's weary way.”

ACTION OF CONFERENCE
Os the Summerville Circuit at the
First Quarterly Meeting Held
at South Carolina Church.
Whereas, our church has made
alliance with all institutions and
men whose purpose it is to exter
minate the traffic in intoxicating
liquors as a beverage; and
Whereas, It seems the opinion
of our wisest men in church and
state as declared by the voice alike
of courts of justice and councils
cf the church, that the open bar
room is the very worst and most
abominable way in which this ini
quitous traffic in human happiness
and life is carried on; and
Whereas; Our own Methodist
Church has made it unlwful for
her members to do the lesser evils
of signing petitions or renting their
houses for the sale of liquor.
Therefore, Be it resolved by this
Quarterly Conference that it is
! contrary to the spirit of the laws
of our church that our members
should support and uphold the H ' ,
quor traffic as conducted in bar
rooms.
Resolved 2nd, That we recom
mend our members not to support ;
any man to represent us in either I
house of the Georgia Legislature j
who favors open barrooms among;
our people. 11. J. Adams, Brest.

THE TOWN COUNCIL.
Mr, G. D. Hollis Resigns And
Coi. J. D. Taylor is Elected.
Last Thursday Mr. G. D. Hollis re
| turned from Atlanta where he was on
! business when the contested election
| ease was decided and next day after j
| his return he tendered the town coun- !
\ cil his resignation, to take effect at j
l once, winch was accepted. Mr. llol
j lis’ seat as Mayor was not contested
j but he decided, under all the circum
stances, to resign.
Saturday night the council heid a
meeting to till the vacancy caused b\
his resignation. Capt. J. S. Cleghom
was interviewed to know if he would
accept the position but after considera
tion he declined to do so. The coun
cil then adjourned until Monday night,
at which time Mr. N. K. Bitting ten- |
dered his resignation as councilman, j
In the meantime Mr. Arrington was !
seen to know if he would accept the !
mayoralty. Mr. Arrington gave the :
matter careful consideration and at last J
declined to accept. The council then i
elected Prof. J. C. King to 1111 the va- j
cancy caused by Mr. Bitting’s resigna-1
tion and adjourned.
Yesterday morning Col. .T. D. Tay-!
lor was approached to know if he j
would accept the office of Mayor and j
he consented and was accordingly elec- i
ted by the council at once.
The council now consists of Messrs j
J. A. Branner, J. W. Pitts, E. W. !

IBy this statement it will be seen

of the tax on the iligestjj has been
collected but that amount. This
is a splendid showing, both for the

of the county. It shows that Mr

The taxes at Trion were collected
January Bth. This included the taxes
of all the residents of the town as well
as the taxes of the company. The tax
es at Raccoon were collected on the
9th and the same rule was applied
there as at Trion,
Mr. Knox has made a splendid re
cord as a faithful aud diligent officer,
and this statement, which is taken
from his books, is made that the tax
payers may know for themselves
whether he has done his duty or not,
It was with sincere sorrow that we
chronicle the sudden death of W. K.
Moore, wlio for along number of years
has been the able and efficient corres
pondent of the News at Trion. Mr.
, Moore was a very busy man, as was
| the editor, and it was seldom that we
| met, yet it is like parting with an old
i friend. There is a sort of masonry a- ;
| mong those who work on. or fornews
! papers that is hard to explain, yet our
j readers will know what is meant.
1 Through his letters we knew him bet
j ter than by personal acquaintance, and
1 the feeling of strong personal friend
i ship we felt for him was on this line,
| rather than of personal intimacy, but
l it was none the less sincere, ile was
: a good man, a true friend, a Christian
| gentleman and it is with profound sad
! ness that we say: “All Hail, good
| friend, and God be with you.” To j
| the wife aud children who knew him
best aud loved him most we extend j
our sincere sympathy.
BOSTON’S! PROBATION SYSTEM.
Tho Method o Dealing; With Petty Offend- ,
jers 1 ill owed at the Huh.
“Now Yo k is a generation behind
I the age in : orno of its methods of j
j dealing wit. i offenders as compared
with Boston,” said a criminal law
yer. “For instance, they have a j
method of d ealing with petty offend- )
ers over tin ro which to my mind is '
tho onlysor sibleand logical system, j
Here if a m j.n is arrested for being j
drunk and disorderly or for petty j
assault or thoft he is sent to the j
workhouse for anywhere from ten J
days to six months, as the magis- I
trate choosos. He theu becomes a :
charge on the county, and as it hap
pens that in nine cases out of ten j
the offender #?-> a workingman with, j
a family his wife and children also j
have to be cared for at tho county's I
expense. Besides this, the mere sen- j
tence is a de gradation and a blow to j
his manhood from which it is hard j
for him to recover when released. j
“In Boston they have what is j
called the probation system, and I 1
think it is t he only city in the coun
try where this is practiced. They do
not send a man to prison for a minor |
offense—that is, if it is his first. !
The character and circumstances of j
the offender are investigated by one J
of the officers of tho probation bu
reau, and the judge is satisfied
that the offender is likely to reform
if allowed t o go free ho is turned
over to tho probation officer and sen
tence is suspended. The majority of
cases are o:c persons charged with
drunkenness, and the rule is srenor
ally applied to workingmen. Habit
ual drunkards are sent to tho island,
but a man who falls from grace
once gets another chance.
“After the offender is turned over
to tI.H Probation officer he is taken
to the bureau, where he receives a
register number, and the circum
stances of bis arrest, with his pedi
gree, are taken down. Then he is al
lowed to go. The probation officer
investigates the situation of bis
family, and if he is a man accus
tomed to spending his wages regu-
Ilarly for drink arrangements are
made with his employer to turn
over bis wages to bis wife. This, cf
ccui'e, Las to be don=> with his cop- j
sent, and »• he has the alternative
of going to prison if he does not
consent he rarely refuses to sanc
tion the arrangement. The system
of espionage in vogue in the proba
tion bureau is as effective aud pri
vate as any Russian secret police
bureau. Tho police of tho district in |
which the probationer lives are no- j
tilled and the policeman on tho par
ticular post where his home is locat
ed is instructed to watch him.
“The probationer is required to
report at the probation bureau at
least once during the period which
tho judge specifies. This is usually
five weeks in the lower court aud
one year in the superior court, where
the graver offenses are tried. If,
during that time, his conduct has
been of a nature to satisfy the court
£hat ho has repented of his ways, ho
is allowed to go free altogether. Dur
ing tho probationary period, how
ever, the probation officer may ar
rest him without a warrant at any j
time. If the probationer should mis- J
behave himself, or repeat tho offense
for which he was first arrested, and
he is caught, ho is usually fined $5
or $lO. If, however, ho should re
peat iho offense after having served
out his probation period, a double
penalty is imposed. The probation
bureau Ims an average of 800 per
sons on its books under constant
surveillance.
“There are six male officers and a
female officer for women and young
girls. The women who aro subject
to tho probation system are compar
atively few. They are only released
on a char ge of loitering in the street,
drunkenness or disorderly conduct.
Tho entire cost of maintaining tho
bureau, including salaries, is not,
more than $15,000 a year, while tho
saving to the county, you can im
agine, is many times that sum. The
moral effect of such a system is, to
my mind, tho main consideration,

Tho offio coy of a prominent
Broadway i a lew days ago put a
2 cent stamp on a letter containing
tfco summons and complaint in a
case and mailed it to the defendant’s
co nisei. Tho postage was 2 cents
short, and the defendant's counsel,
after paying tho additional 2 cents,
was in a position to claim judgment
by default on tho ground that lie
had not been legally served. The
plaintiff’s attorney immediately got
an order to show cause why tho do
fault should not bo opened. There
was; a long argument, in court and
several lengthy affidavits were sub
mitted. The case was finally re
oper.ed upon payment by the plain
tiff of S3O costs.
Thus the time of tho court for
nearly two hours, S3O costs and the
fees of two leading lawyers were
made necessary to correct a mistake
of 2 cents by an office boy,—New

Best For the Blood
Hood’s Proved Its Merit-Eczema
Cured.
**l have used Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
know it is the best medicine for the blood
I have ever taken. Two yeara ago I had
a sore on one of my limbs below the knee.
I Spent Many Dollars
| for medical attendance and treatment but
all in vain. At last a friend urged me to
try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I told him it
would not do me nuy good as I had the
best of dootors in this vicinity attend '
me and they said it was a severe case of
eczema. He prevailed upon me, however,
to take one bottle and when it was all
H°°£f *TT-~
taken I noted a slight
improvement. I have R. .
now used six bottles
and my leg is well. Had it not been for
Hood’s Sarsaparilla I do not think I
would ever have conctucred my com
plaint.” J. W. Hindman, Fort Lawn, S. C.
