Below we publish a communication to the Columbia State from its Ben nettsville correspondent, which shows a disgraceful state of affairs existing along the state line between Marlboro and Richmond counties. There the laws of the two states against the sale of whiskey have been openly and noto riously defied for years. It is a humil iating fact to North Carolinians that these law-breakers seemed to have less fear of breaking the laws of thi3 stats against the sale of whiskey than those of South Carolina. That bloodshed should be the result of such lawlessness was to be expected. but it takes, no account of the manner in which &e is making that war and the means which he employs the arraying of .one class, by arousing all its pre judices and passions, against the other. The question arises, that ad mitting the Daily Mail to be correct on this point, is not there greater danger to the country In Mr. Hearst's manner of warfare against the trust-3 and the illegitimately gained capital than there is in those evils, or at least as much danger? Are no: they the two horns of a dilemma equally threatening to the future welfare of the country unless the one is checked through proper legislation and unbias ed action of the courts and the other Made Happy for Life. Great happiness came into tne home of S. C. Blair, school superintendent, at St. Albans, W. Va., when his little daughter was restored from the dread ful complaint he names. He says: "My little daughter had St. Vitus' Dance, which yielded to no treatment but grew steadily worse until as a last resort we tried Electric Bitters; and I rejoice to say, three bottles effected a complete cure."

"now silly!" exclaimed the daughter of the plutocrat. "The Idea of my marrying you, who have absolutely nothing, even though I do like you im mensely! Why, I spend $100,000 a year on dresses alone. Goodness only knowa how much money I actually waste." "Yes," argued the earnest youth, "I bad thought of that. The way I figure it; you throw away enough money right along to support a husband in good style." Judge.

The State's correspondent says Jule Combs, proprietor of the noto rious line bars, was shot and killed in his barroom Sunday night. Combs' clerk and two other wit nesses say that Ebbie Quick, Carey Quick, Loudon Quick and Love Knight went to the bar together Sunday night. They were drinking. Combs told Knight that he owed him for a half pint of gin. Knight said he did not. Combs then struck Knight in the face, and the witnesses ran out. After they got out, they heard pistol shots inside.

Elsewhere in this issue of The Mes senger will be found an article under the heading: "The Outlook, Today's Epoch-Making Election", which we think will be very interesting to a great many of our readers. It appeared as the leading editorial in the London Daily Mail of November 6th, the day of our elections, anl is on the contest that day being waged in "New York state between the two po ll real parties, 01 as many po.ifkiaus and newspapers in this country pro nounced it, between Hearst and Hughes This London paper, however, asserts that, after the famous Elmira speech of Mr. Root, in which he, as represent ative of the president, made such a fearful attack on Mr. Hearst, it be came an issue between Mr. Hearst and Mr. Roosevelt. The editorial is a very interesting re sume, from the viewpoint of a British journalist, of the conditions, both po litical and economical, in this country of the present time and of the causes which have brought about those con ditions. It is inclined to favor Mr. Hearst because it believes he is making war, not on capital, but on capital i illegitimately gained and on the trusts; Oh the elephant ate all night. And the elephant ate all day. Till every cent of his income went To keep the beast in hay. He envied the lot of the Hottentot On African's barren sands; He swore like mad because he had That elephant on his hands. Uncle Sam has an elephant on his hands. To be exact, he has four ele phants on his hands. For that reason he feels four times as bad as the king of whom De Wolf Hopper used to sing in "Wang," who was eaten out of house and home by an elephant bought from the king of Cambodia. Wash ington Herald. Yes, Uncle Sam, in truth and in fact, has an elephant on his hands not only one elephant, but four. They are not the kind we see in cartoons of political papers branded "G. O. P." but of the live, food-devouring, keeper requiring kind, and, therefore, he is sorrowful and knows not where to turn for comfort. This sweeping tariff law which im poses an import duty on every thing which ingenuity can imagine is likely or unlikely to be imported into this country at some future day, is respon sible for this sad plight of the old 1 ; gentleman. Our customs duties are levied to protect home enterprises and to provide revenues for the government by taxing the importation of necessi ties and luxuries. The existing law pro viding for the protection of home in dustries and the raising of revenue by imports places an ad valorem duty on all elephants brought into this country. The reasons for placing this tax can not come under the former head. Then is it a tariff impost laid on one of the necessities or luxuries of life? What ever it may be, the law is caus ing Uncle Sam much worry just now. Not long ago a man brought four trained elephants into the United States from Canada and entered them through the customs house in Buffalo. He valued them at $2,400, paid the duty and went his way rejoicing and giving pleasure and amusement to thousands of children and their circus-abhorring parents. Pretty soon the treasury de partment began nosing around an.i found the owner was trying to sell his elephants at a much higher price and also that he had a year ago entere-i them at the New York customs house and then valued them at $6,000. Ex perts of the elephant market were put to work and they declared after exam ination that these four animals were worth $1,000 a piece. Then the collect or of customs at Buffalo was ordered to seize them and hold them until the owner settled up at the higher ap praisement. This, he declines tc do, and will probably contest the matter in the courts if his appeal to the higher treasury officials does not avail him. In the meantime the Buffalo collector has the beasts on his hands, and he does not know what to do with them. In addition he fears ridicule from car toonists and joke writers of the press because of the time at which the inci dent occurs just after the campaign and election when the "G. O. P." ele phant played such a conspicuous part in the political departments of the newspapers. He is afraid of being car icatured as his party's official keeper of that a.Tilma.1 until next election.
