L. It. A UL. 110D1ronT. EITORIA . COltICU05'ONDCNCE. ('olumbia, Maarch 8.--The municipal pr"imitry, which was held here on Tues day, for the prlpose of n,ominating Democratie candidates for Mayor and Aldermen of the city, passed off very (uietly. Of course, thu plrimary is really the election, for there will be no opposition to the candidates, but the form of a general election has to be gone throi ih. All the interest centres in the primary and there is where the fight is to be made. The'hre were four candidates for MIayor, the present In cumbent, Col. T. J. Lipscomb, ex-Mayor W. MIc3. Sloan, W. 11. (ibbes, Jr., and F'. S. I.rle. Neither one received ia majority of the votes (ast and it will be necessary to have a second race, which will be matde by 1ir. I:arle and Mir Sloan, they having received the highest num ber of votes, and Nilr. Sloan leading by nearly two hundred. In nearly every inStance a full aldermatnie board was chosen and a second race is not, neces sary. The second primary will be held next Tuesday. 1 find tie following in t,he Abbeville Press and Banner: Iirother Aull, of The Newberry IIer aid and News, without provocation, as far as we know, gives Abbeville a dig for seeking a !fiee, but pays us at high compliment by saying that, many Ab beville men have gotten ofllee. it Is honorable in all inen to aspire to posi tions of honor. And for a hundred years Abbeville itas been producing mnei Who have been appreciated by tihe People of the State. W e are very proud of our mnen. Very few cou ttics have produced as many inen who have been rewarded by public honors. Newberry is not without her distin gi hed mnu, andt Newvberry has noth ing of whic she ean be so jnttiy proud Its of her good metn, whio have ben held in higlh esteem by the people of the State. Not so very long ago Abbeville gave t.hte editor of The Lierald an! News a hearty weleome to iter hearts atd homes. And it is a little strange that he should now seek tO trike the people ot a matter of which they are o troutd, namueiy: The exrceient 'tof her citizens. If it is at rtlt:it'he to i'.'t t'ait't', what shall we :tY of th u ;n<.::,.

'pme that anytiing that I said woulid even be cons trued irn'.o the ilehtes.t redeli on t Ie excellence of the citi .ers of Abbevi! !e. My first newvspacr work was done on an Al e ville newspaper and thr'oughl the k:ind ness of an Abbeville editor. It has been my privilege and my pleasutre on more thant one occasion to show my in terest in Abbeville, by giving my vote and my hearty endor'setment to sorte of her sons whIo were seeking political honors. I hope I may have that pr'ivt lege ar d pleasure again. Now, Brother Wilson, you do mue injustice whten .yout intimate that I am ungrateful for th e kindness shown mec in the past, and 1 do not think anything I saild could be construed in. any such way. But I ram not quarreling with the Pressand Han ner, and have only written this to as sure Brother W ilson of rmy cord ial good will to all the '.eple of Abbeville and lasting obligations to them and1 my ao preciation of the hearty we'.come they gave me when, as a stranger, I went to make moy home among them, and thbe interest I feel In the success of Abbe vllle's sons, and her daughters, too. f** I do not care just now to discuss the question of the success or the failure of Newberry people who have sought po litical preferment, because that ques tion Is not germane to the subject. I shall always be found st.anding b, my friends and outr own people when I think they are right. * The board of directors of the peni tentiary are making arrangements for the building of the juvenile reformatory as provided by an Act of the Legisla tutre. It is proposed to build it en the Lexington farm just about six miles from Columbia. It is a needed reform and I am glad the experiment is to be tried. It is not the only purpose of punishment for crime to punish. There should be an effort tnade to reform the youths who have gone astray and send them back from the prisons better citi zens than when they were sent there. This will be the purpose ofthe juvel2de ~risooi The. young criminals will be' ta from the older ones. " to nporane sobriety and total abstinence are good things, how can we have too much of thorn? Does The Herald and News beliove that the )is pensary is promoting sobriety and hon esty in this State? I)oes the constant increase in the sale of liquor by the State tend to improve the morals of the people? Is the )Ispensary law itself enforecd? Are blind tigers unknown in Newberry?" The above questions are propounded by the Greenville Mountaineer, brought forth by an observation in one of my recent letters, that prohibition by statutory enactment would be imprac ticable and result in failure. I have al ways held, and still hold, that temper. anco and sobriety are good things, but it does not necessarily follow that you can secure them by passing laws pro hibiting the sale of liquor. On the contrary, I do not believe that you can secure them in that way or that you will promote In the least the cause of temperance and sobriety by prohIbit,ory legislation. As I understand the pro hibionists they do not pretend to claim or hold that the manufacture and sale of liquor is in itself wrong, but the evil conies in the excessive or in temperate use of it. They undertako to correct the evil by prohibiting it rather than in an effort to make men strong to resist the temptat,ion to its excessive use. You can't make men good or holy by removing tempt,ation from theIr paths. That is not the Scripture doctrine. Now, as to the questions of the Mountaineer. I (10 believe that, the )iapensary has pro moted the cause of sobriety. Now, we have only one place in Newberry Coun ty where liquor is legally sold, and at this place it is not sold after (lark, nor is it sold by the drink, and when you get It you have to put (own the cash. 13efore the )ispensary law cane we had eight barrooms in the town of New berry, regularly and legally authorized to seli liquor and you could get it from day:ight unt,il the late hours of the night, and you could buy it in any <quantity from a ten cent drink up. You could take your friend in and ''set 'emt up,'' and this social drinking led more1'o people into the drinkc habit than any other feature. Thet, too, you could run an account and many a man bought whiskey when he could get it on credit, who never think. of it now, and when the fall .me he had a big whiskey ae count to :ett1e. There is none of that row. lo:d say that the dispensary ha dore &ood aong this l:ne. The -in 'ees that the eight ba.-roon:s aoi 10 the town amo:nted to ab\ut as as the pro!its the past year to the ow r.ar. county from the Dispensary. U course :he men who oeonucted the barro:us made money or they would not have remained in the business. As to honesty I don't think any system has anythintg to do with that, but I be lieve prohibition would do less towards promoting it t'han the 1)ispensary. Whiskey in any way you handle it will not do mu'ch to improve the morals, but the Dispensrrv will do more in that lirection than prohibition for tinder prohibition "blind tigers" would flour ish and there would be illicit sale throughout the State and you would have no machinery with which to stop it. It is trute that the D)ispensary law is not rigidly and completely enforced but I would like for the Mlountaineer to tell mue how a prohibition law would be enfor'ced when the D)ispensary' is not and th ir:ty or forty men are kept con stantly at work watching for violators. U nder prohibition you would have no prIovision by which to 01mploy3 anyotne to enforce it unless you levied an extra tax for the purpose. I believe that much of the prejudice that has hereto fore existe-d against the D)ispensarmy is gone tind that it is being constantly bet ter enforced. As to "blind tigers" in Ne'iberry if there are any* they are very searce and no more than existed under the old license system. There tre sever'al things in regard to the Dis pensam'y law that I (10 not aipprove; never have appr'oved aned nev'er will, but the whiskey question is a very puz zlinig one and I am willing to accept what I consider the lesser ev". "We would like to see newspaper at' gument in this State rise above the plane of epithet." This comment is made by the Yorkville Enquirer. It would be a glad day for South Cato lina when not only newspaper argu ment but all other argument could rise above epitbet and pe-rsonal abuse of your anrtagouis'. Any vulgar black guard can abuse you a:nd this license in many cases is taken as true statement and as argument. Wh,en men and newspapers happen to differ on any' question there i8 no sensc in personal attacks and abuse for there can be difference of opinion with bonesty and sincerity and pure motives and patriot lsm on both sides. And the trouble is much of this abuse pa?s.ea for argument and courage arrong many people. We want to have a hIgher andard with whieh to treat arn hor,st oppzeA.

Candidates speem to be plentiful in some of the townships, but so far, No. ti has only a few spoken of yet. Well, March has come and very lit tie work has been done on the farms. A number of our people have been hauling corn home from town that were never known to buy corn before on ae count of the short, crop raised last year and it has been very seldom that many of our farmers ever buy corn, and we do hope that, they will plant enough this year and not try and raise so much cheap cotton. The Monticello and Saluda school boys crossed bats at Monticello on last Saturday and had an old time game of "chimney or base ball." Well, Chips, Josh Triunp has retirn ed, and has become "one of the boys" again, and we were real glad to hear from him, but sorry that he wias sutfler ing with a boil and mumps, but we hope he will soon be himself again, and that he will let us hear from him often. It. seems that a little printer's ink had the desired effect on him. If a person had left this section before the war and not returned until now, he would not recognize it as the same see tion of counti y. People then lived far apart and very few on the roads, then nearly the whole country was a forest of pine and oaks; today that has given away under the heavy blow of the axe man, and cotton, corn and other crops have been planted thereon for years and today only patches of oaks and pines ire standing, all the thickets have been cut down; then there were only a few families living on the Holley Ferry road, now you can't halloo along that road unless from a half to a dozen families hear your voice. There is not but one man, according to my knowl edge, living at the same place he was living on this road when the war began that is theru yet, and that, is Henry M. Dominick. Today cotton is the staple ar tiele, then a diversitied farm of wheat. oats, corn, peas. etc. Then they were large land owners. now wae have a numa ber of prosperous small land owners and farmers: then they ma,ie what they needed at home and lived at the same place. Today they principally raiz-c eotzon and use the town for the ferti li.ers. eribs and smoke houses. We read what the editor had to sav about staving on the farm: also, the elipping taken from another journal, and it was certainly true and had the right ring. WW-hat our country needs is small en terprises of different kinds-factories to manufacture our raw material at home. We are glad to see that outr State is making such strides in her cot ton imilis, and we prediet that South Carolina will soon be a leading manu facturing State. Calk's Ferry road is nearly impassable in places, and we call onr Suipervisor's attention to its condition at once. The majority of the traveling public has to tr'avel the Blush River road tuntil thley strike the McNary Fer'ry road In going to Prosperity. The road bed should be paved afld done at once. Bethel Baptist Church is still with otut ai patstor. W\ell, the legislature did adjour'n at last, and1( somel of' that body have dlone the last work in the halls of tile Benate and Hotuse they will ever (do for the peop)le, and we (10 wondeir what they are going to tell the people as they stuimp tihe cotunties this year they have done, rind whIat they tried to do rind they want to go back to (do so andl so next year. We guless that will be about thoir plea. Leona. March 5, 1900. Silver street nlots. Nov- as the Southern is aibouit to move ouIt and leave the Chappeils, Old T1owni and Silver Street people, it stands us in hand to look out for another railroad. W~hy can't we get the r'oad from Whit mir'e's to Augusta?
