The legend runs
On the banks of the silver river of
heaven we call the Milky
there lived a beautiful maid-
en, who was the daughter of the
sun. Her name was and
she was so serious and so busy that
all called her the or spin-
At last the sun king
thought to marry his daughter to
a young man who kept a
herd of cows on the hanks of the
celestial stream, hut no sooner was
she married than her character
seemed to change utterly, and she
became idle and forsook her loom
and needle.
The sun thought the
band the cause of this and deter-
mined to separate the couple. So
he ordered the husband to remove
to the other side of the river of
stars and told him that hereafter
they should meet but once a year,
on the seventh day of the seventh
month. The sun king then called
myriads of magpies, which formed
a bridge over the flood of stars, over
which the lover-husband sorrowful-
crossed the river of heaven. Then
the magpies flew away, filling the

two would go and stand by the
banks of the river and gaze longing-
at each other. Once a year they
were allowed to cross the bridge of
birds, except if it rained, when the
magpies would be swept away. But
usually the sky was clear on the
seventh evening of the seventh
month, and the lovers met with
great joy. So in ancient times the
people of Japan celebrated this
date, hoped for clear and
wealth and happiness for all, while
the girls made a wish that they
might be skilled in needlework.
This is the legend of the 7th of
July, when the star and
the spinning maiden star cross the
Milky Way to meet each other.

An ingenious trick was played by
a gang of burglars in Sheffield
About T o'clock at night
news was received by telegraph at
the fire station that a large timber
yard in the suburbs was on fire.
The message purported to be from
the owner, who added that there
was not much flame, but plenty of
smoke. The brigade immediately
turned out, but on reaching the
of alleged outbreak found
it In d hoaxed. The wires were
at once put into operation, and it
was found the message had come
from a silverware
most opposite the fire station. The
officer- on gaining an entry found
that thieves baa ransacked the
place. Largo quantities of silver
goods had been packed, ready for
removal, and the burglars doubtless
hoped to escape during the excite-
caused the brigade turning
out. They had, however, been
alarmed and fled empty handed be-
fore the arrival of the police.

It is strange that men who are

will sometimes act in a way that is

selves and the town.
The Greenville aldermen have

Messenger of that city has declared
that it is neutral on the subject
and will take neither for nor

position for a newspaper to on

more manly to get on one side or
if it favors the whiskey-
side say no, and vice versa.
STOP AND CONSIDER.
Norfolk is having a trouble that
is quite like Greenville's

controversy. In that city a reform
board was elected for the coining
fiscal year, and the board soon to
retire has advantage of every
point possible in an effort to tie the
bands of the incoming
Reading an editorial on the
subject in the Norfolk Virginian-
Pilot we could feel that it applied
almost as well to the situation in
Greenville.
As an illustration of the
of speculation a striking
story is related of an Atlanta man
who made by dealing in
cotton futures. When he had re-
the check, his wife suggested
that it was an opportune time to
buy the home they had been want-
for years. After a desirable
residence had been selected, the
husband decided that, since the
purchase price would just about
consume the amount he had made
on cotton, it would be better to
re-invest his money and make
enough to furnish the place hand-
and live in grand ever
afterwards. He did the
next day cotton slumped and he
was left penniless and homeless.
Another case of a man not being
able to let well enough alone.

is a well known fact that the alder-
men voted by that the
names of the two persons elected
had not been mentioned in the open
meeting, but et by some port of a
strange coincidence there had
been no previous the
names of these two persons were
found on the five ballots cast by
live of the aldermen.
Section chapter of the

Can anyone that these five
aldermen confederated to violate
this law, and set at defiance its pro-
visions They did not stop there,
but they undertook to say by an
ordinance passed at the same night
that these disqualified persons
should continue to hold this place,
which the law says they are dis-
qualified to hold, until the first day
of July, 1906.
Did these two disqualified persons
have any previous knowledge of this
arrangement Had they previously
agreed to enter into this conspiracy
to set at defiance this plain provision
of law and to defeat the expressed
will of the people of Greenville
These are questions which those
concerned had better be considering
if there is ever to come a day of
reckoning for these flagrant viola-
of law.
These conditions will impose upon
the incoming board of aldermen
grave duties and responsibilities.
Will they meet them like men I
trust and believe so.
I would suggest that the alder-
men and the disqualified persons
they have chosen stop and think be-
fore it is too late, but it they
are bent u doing whatever they
can to obstruct and defeat the results
of the election on the second of
March, 1904. A majority of the
people voted for a dispensary. So
the present board of aldermen them-
selves declared. The law says that
the dispensary shall be put in the
hands of its friends to run it. The
board of aldermen and the two com-
missioners appointed to run it have
undertaken to place it in the hands
of its enemies. Two of the
chosen to run it voted
against the dispensary. man-
ager and ass intent manager, chosen
by these disqualified commissioners,
also voted against it. It is a well
known fact that these two
appointed to run it and the
manager and assistant manager
chosen by them, not only voted
against the dispensary, but they
were among the most active workers
it.
Can it he possible that these
and these disqualified com-
missioners, and the manager and as-
manager chosen by them,
suppose for one minute that the
of Greenville will quietly sub-
to this outrage If they do,
then indeed will the law of the land
be worth nothing in Greenville.
It is to be hoped that the persons
referred to in ibis communication
will not take this as a threat, but
that it may cause them to stop and
think and to retrace their steps be-
fore it is too late Citizen.

Nearly ever newspaper mini who

Many good things have been said,

We are not of those who regard
the license of the press as an
mitigated evil. The great sin of
the press our is its
silence when wickedness is seated
in high places. the best
editors shrink from the duty of
denouncing the wrong-doing of
party leaders, whom they must
support under penalty of being
charged with disloyalty to their
friends.
Some prominent and useful pa-
are swift and persistent in the
detection and exposure of wrong-
doing by men of the political party
whose injury they wish to effect,
while they pa's by in silence or
with faint rebuke, if they do not
openly i, similar practices of
their own party men.

What the Dispensary is not.
The whiskey business is getting
warmed up in Charlotte. Wherever
a campaign of this sort is conducted
will be seen and heard a lot of
utterances. In all temper-
movements the men least cap-
able of leading are apt to get into
the saddle. That is why sensible,
conservative men have, for the most
part, staid out of the fights. The
dispensary, as conducted in Raleigh,
is the proper and permanent
of the liquor business. We say
conducted in because
we happen to know how the bus-
is done here. The dispensary
is sickly,
movement. It is rather a
of how a bad business may be
done in the least harmful manner
possible- To make a dispensary
successful, there are three things
necessary. First, it must be in the
hands of honest, upright men, who
will see to it that business is
properly conducted. Second, it
must keep a pure article of goods the
best that can be had anywhere.
Third, it must be a financial
and tend to reduce the taxes of the
property holders in the city and
community where it exist. Whiskey
is here, and here to stay. It will be
sold in some form till millennium
dawn, and the dispensary is the me-
through which it can be done
with the least harm to all concerned.
Prohibition cities like Charlotte,
Raleigh or Wilmington would, as it
has always been, a delusion and a
fraud; a breeder of
and all sorts of back-door, dark-alley
devilment. We have no thought the
conservative business contingent of
these places will favor it for a sin-
