AWAY WITH STATE DISPENSARY.
Has Outlived Its (Joodness, Let the
Privilege to Dispensing Whiskey to
Highest Bidder.
Ar. Editor: We have a full
team of office seekers for state
offices. 1 want to vote for a man
firm on a local option platform,
one that favors doing away with
the state dispensary. After the
question of local option is decid
ed by the people of each county
if they favor dispensing whiskey
in any county, the right to dis
pense whiskey :shall be let out
the first Monday of some month
to the highest bidder for the
privilege of dispensing whiskey
under a full guarantee that the
dispensary law will be obeyed in
full, giving a guarantee bond for
several tho'sand dollars as to
good faith in carrying out said
dispensary law. Let the revenue
so derived be divided as follows:
the town in which such dispensary
is located to receive one-third,
roads and bridges one-third, the
state one-third.
This is only an outline of my
views. I feel that .any thanking
man can see that the state dis
pensary has outlived its gcodness
:if it had any. This thing of
.everybody selling whiskey is not
.only destroying the revenue that
state and county is entitled to,
but is ruining the propsects of
-peace and good will between the
rising generation. Give a fool
whiskey and he is ready to do
:any crime. While 1 know that
'we can not prohibit, yet we can
restrain to a great extent. En
force the dispensary law, pro
:secute the blind tigers as the
-owner of the privilge to dispen
:sary whiskey would do, and we
restrain to some extent.

ALCOHOL FROrlPOTATOES.
New Industry Opening for the South
ern Oil rilLs.
There was a meeting of the
cotton seed oil mill men of South
Carolina.here Thursday that mean
mnuch not only for the oil mills
but also for the farmers. Thoze
who have kept up with such mat
ters will recall that several weeks
ago a chemist in Arkansas, J. C.
-116, discovered that denatured
alcoLol could be extracted in
large quantities from the potato
by the use of the present oil mill
-machinery. The matter was no
-ticed especially by the oil mill
-men and Thursday at the meeting
.'the whole suggestion was gone'
over and its practicability dis
-cussed.
If the schemie is worked out
:successfully it will be of mutual
advantage. The oil mills now
:shut down in summer and just
:about the time the potato crops
r are coming in. The farmers often
have to throw away hundreds of
~bushels of potatoes because of a
glut in the market or the fact that
they have sprouted too soon.
These could be sold to the oil
mnills at slightly reduced prices
and used by them for making of:
denatured alcohol.
The government now proposes
to remove the tax from this
product and it cani then be pro
duced very cheaply. The fact
that it will keep labor organized
during the entire year is also of
considerable advantage to the oil
mills. After much discussion it
was decided to obtain further in
formation about the project and
then take some definite action.
The tax is not removed by the'
government until next May.
The meeting of the oil mill men
'was primarily for the purpose of
effecting an organisation to be
known as the South Carolina Cot
ton Seed Crushers' Association of'
the same enterprises. There was
a very large attendance and F. D.,
Hunter of Darlington was elected
president, J. T. Stephens vice
president and B. F. Taylor of this
-city was elected secretary and
treasurer.-Columbia State.

'Gentlemen: I have been using

any paint on the market. It

Love and Life.
Most men know love but as a
part of life;
They hide it in some corner ol
the breast,
Even from themselves; and
only when they rest
In the brief pauses of the daily
strife
Wherein the world might else be
not so rife,
They draw it forth (as one
draws forth a toy,
To soothe some ardent, kiss
exacting boy),
And hold it up to sister, child o
wife.
Ah me! why may not love and
life be one?
Why walk we thus alone, when
by our side,
Love, like a visible god, might
be our guide?
How- would the marts grow noble.
and the street,
Worn like a dungeon floor by
weary feet,
Seem then a golden courtway
of the sun!
-Henry Timrod.
farriage of riiss Jean Pressly and
Rev. B. G. Pressly.
This happy occasion was solem
nized on last Wednesday morn
ing at 8:30 o'clock at Prof. J. L.
Pressly's, the home of the ' ride.
TIe marriage ceremony was
beautiful performed by Dr. F. Y.
Pressly assisted by Rev. 0. Y.
Bonner. The groomsmen were:
Messrs. J. P. Pressly J. E. Pres
ly, H. E. Pressly and Lowry
Pressly. The bridesmaids, Misses
Agnes Grier, Jennie Roseborough,
Bessie Boyce and Edna Ramsey,.
Hiss Louise Brownlee presided
At the piano.
The happy couple left immedi
%tely for the mountains of North
Jarolina. The array of presents
was. handsome and costly. One
>f the presents was a much prized
amily heir-loom that had been
anded down for eighty years-a
olid piece of silver.
Aiss Jean is the accomplished
laughter of Prof. and Mrs. J. L.
Pressly. She was a social fav
)rite in Due West. Rev. Grier
Pressly is the son of Dr. and
irs. N. E. Pressly of Mexico, a
:raduate of Erskine College and
>f the Erskine Seminary.
As the parties entered the
parlor on the morning of the
>retty wedding they did so with
o undue haste, yet without that
5ow pace that gives you a creepy
nd tired feeling. We felt thank
ul that Miss Jean's attendants
lelivered us from this misery and
we are pleased to have the oppor
unity to say so. Many friends
nd relatives will join in throwing
oqiets of~love and affection at
his happy young couple.

When Maxim, the* famous gun in

aittee of judges, he stated its carrying
ower to be much below what he felt
he gun would accomplish. The result
)f the trial was therefore a great sur
irise, instead of disappointment. It is
he same with the manufacturers of

nake the statements. What they do

"Ay EgitoF" Defined.
The definition of an. editor,
iven by the Spectator in~ a re
view of the new edition of Blake's
oems, is worthy of quotation:
"A good editor is an immortal
eneactor. His work, unlike the
work of the critic, can never pass
way. He loses himself, subor
linates his personal predilections
sand aims to the meaning of his
uthor, and his reward is per
petuity for his work and oblivion,
t mav~ be, for himpself. He h.3lps
eaders to their destingtion, and
ike the engine' driver of a. train,
is forgotten as soon as they have
arrived in safety. He is like a
perfectly transparent window
hrough~ which the light of his
author streams without dimuni
tion or distortion; while the
aesthetic and original critics re
semble a window or colored glass
which permits the passage of only
o much light as will serve to set
off the pride of the artist."
