August 26. 1909. The two-faced baby burn in Atlanta the other day has a promis ing political career. Harry Thaw put up an able defense, but he made a fatal blunder when he announced that he was going in for literature. A stranger who spent four hours walking over Dillon the other day said we ought to have a trolly system so visitors could see the town.

The country correst>ondent is breaking aviation records every week. We noticed recently where a gentleman took a "flying" trip from Edgefield to Charleston. When Tift visits Columbia in November the Columbians will show him the sights in their city all right, hut they won't risk taking him up into their skyseraper. The Anderson Mail says times do change. Richland and Char vau/u aup|Ai? iuu uic uiniJCll> .1 y and Senator Tillman wants prchibition. No doubt about that. We should not surprised any time now to see the News and Courier supporting the democratic party* Five or six years ago when the Atlantic Coast Line built the present depot at a cost of about $10,000 they said it would be large enough to accommodate the travel to and from this point for many years to come. The committee who had the matter in charge saw the plans for the new station and acquiesed in the judgment of the railroad people. But the railroad officials and the members of the committee were basing their judgment on . ] ordinary developments that spring from the natural order of things ; and did not calculate on the ab-1 normal growth that not only Dillon. but the entire country for a radius of many miles, has attained 1 since the foundation was laid for the present very creditable depot ' building'. One does not have to look very far into the future to see ' that the town is rapidly outgrowing its present depot facilities and ' before another six years have rolled around the increase in trave 1 ' will have reached such propor lions that an enlargement of the depot and its premises will be ne- j cet-sary to provide the public with j the degree of safety and comfort I to which is entitled. It has been suggested that the A. C. L. and ; N. & S. C. railroads combine and i build a union station and if there is any hope of bringing < the two roads together on this i proposition the time to push the 1 matter is before the new railroad begins the erection of its depot 1 buildings. The coming of the N. 1 & S. C. means an appreciable in- ! crease from this point in travel ( over the A. C. L., and if you think there is enough room at the present station for the accommoda- j tion of the public just attempt to ] elbow your way through the crowds that gather there at the arrival of every train and you will be convinced to the contrary. Tillman's desire for state-wide prohibition is a tacit admission I that the dispensary system of Ki: handling liquors is a failure. The dispensary was not a failure .be V 11? I ' >'T " "f y*:; clause the system was impracticable. If liquor is to be sold in a community it is one of the best systems ever devised for the control of the traffic. Carried outon its original lines the dispensary would have grown in popularity. not only among those who were responsible for its establishment, but also among the conservative clement of the prohibition i>arty who earnestly desired some better method of selling liquors than the old barroom with its attendant evils. Pronibition being impracticable at that time the dispensary was a compromise measure, but from the very be ginning it was use J by unscrupulous politicians as a vehicle to public power and before very long it fell into bad repute not only among those who had no political ambitions, but also among those who had hoped to profit by its popular ity but bad been dropped by the wayside. Assailed on the one side by its former friends and attacked on the other by its most bitter enemies its disintegration began at its birth and there is no surprise that it shared the fate of all other movements for the public good that resolve themselves into corrupt nolitical machines for the manipulation of the ballot. In those counties where the majority against the dispensary was very large prohibition begins under more favorable auspices than did the dispensary 15 years ago when sentiment between the dispensary and the open barroom was more evenly divided, but unless the law against the illegal sale of whiskey is rigidly enforced the pendulum may swing to the other extreme and there will be a re-establishment of the dispensary with a healthier and more substantial public sentiment to insure its permanenpv I Tr? 1 ib-o tVio dicnoncnr" prohibition cannot be used as a vehicle to political power and its four years' trial in those counties that adopted it over the dispensary will be purely a test of merit, unhampered by outside influences. Dan'l Mac's Corn. D'Mc. has a petted patch Beside the street in town, And for failure it's a match For any corn around. The stalks are very high, Like fishing poles they seem, But the ears of corn, oh! mv 'Tis nothing but a dream. High up the stalks you see The place the ears should grow, [?oking up the stalk-like tree A shoot and nothing?more. D'Mc. thinks he's in the swim, As by the patch he walks; No one can see but him The corn upon the stalks. And to think a man in town, For whom he had respect, Who he had invited 'round Said he wouldn't make a peck. Latta, Aug. 24. L. T. S. Bermuda Briefs.

Ploreucw, Ala.. Time*. I In an audience composed mostly I of the members of the Farmers' i Union one of the speakers lecently expressed the mutal friendship j between the farmer and newspaper i in the following: ' "As a rule the farmer has no rirmer friend than the country press. The home paper is distinctly the farmer's own papei, supported directly and in directly I by farmers, who compose the 1 backbone of the subscription list 1 of the printer and largely for 1 what the enterprising merchant i advertises. Now, brother, let us i not forget our friends. Let us 1 see that our subscription is paid a ( year in advance. We can do it. ' "The man or the paper that 1 fights my battles shall have my support. Another thing, the mer- 1 chants advertising are the ones ' that mak^ it possible for us to get a good local paper. The man or ^ local firm that is too penuriu* to j advertise and help to support the local press has no right to the far- 1 mer's patronage. "I promise hereafter to go to i II.? - J * - * me uve au"crtisers ana tne man j who does his share in supporting ? the local press, thus contributing ! to my support, rather than buy of a man who proposes to take all and give nothing back. If far- . mers as a class would support ' their friends, the other fellow would soon go out of business." i CITATION. THE.8TATK OF SOUTH OAROLIN A County of Mario. 1 By P. B.

There are i others who have not yet complied with the requirements, and to these I would address an earnest admonition to exert ' themselves vigorously to perforin what is required of tbem. " \ Having noticed that in some places, where the roads have been built np with 1 clay, sand is used in filling np holes in I the road, I would urge that such holes shall in ali cases be filled with clay instead of sand or mod. , I would also cantion the overseers * against ordering more lumber than is S needed for immediate use.
