And he said unto the woman,Yea, hath God said. Ye shall not eat of every tr.* of the garden! Aud the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. But of the fruit of the tree ^hich is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not] eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, * lest ve die. ( A.d the serpent said unto the won.-: n, Ye shall not surely die: tor G. d doth know that in the day ye eat I hereof, then your eyes gt shall be opened, and ye shall be as Jjj| . g'wis, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that cn woe iTAiut fnr fruvl ?nil IUV % IW n MO ?*vrw? * gfe./ - that it was pleasant lo the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, site took of the fruit thereof, and did eat and gave also unto her husband with her; and fj, he did eat." s - We have written out the above fcrvnot to show the sorrow and death brought upon the race by the vio' li'tion of this first prohibitory law, but to bring out the peculiar chars' acteristics of the devil when ?* ', tempting men to do wrong. He ^ dosen't nund setting the word of God at naught and telling a positive lie. "Ye shall not surely fa, y die," says he, and then goes on to show the good things in the tree, [>,' "good for food," "pleasant to the y-> ' eyes," "to be desired to make one I wise." The Devil succeeded so well that he uot only continue| the plan, but by long usage he ~ Ii-is improved the language. Through his agents, Frank G Tullidge & Ca,of Cincinnxti,Ohio, he sends into this State the following description ot his goods nod says it (ican be had at your dispensary:" "Popcorn whiskey is the most r wonderful whiskey that everdrove lie skeleton from a least or paint61 landscapes in the train of roan. It is the mingled souls of wheat and corn. In it you will find the - sunshine and the shadow that chased each other over the billowy fields; the breath of Jnne;the carol of the lark; the dews of ught; the wealth ot summer and autumn's rich content, all golden v with imprisoned light. Drink it, ' and you will hear the voice ot men and maidehs sing the "har& vest borne," mingled with the laughter of children. Dr nk it, *- and you will feel within your blood the star-lit dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks of many perfect days. For many years this liquid joy hA been within the happy staves of oak, longing to p-' touch the lips of man." John Gough gave his exper f ience after taking the liquid he thought was "longing to touch the | lips of man," in the following lan ' * . fiuage: "For three days I endured more lljjjagony than pen could describe. even were it guided by the band of 6ante. Who can tell the hor rore of that horrible malady? Hideous faces appeared on the walls, >:' * and on the ceiling, and on the doors; foul things crept along the P bed cloths, and glaring eyes peer' ed into mine, i was at onetime surrounded by millions of monstrous spiders, who crawled slowly, slowly over my every limb, whilst beaded drops of perspiration would start to my brow, and my limbs . would shiver until the bed rattled azain. Strange lights would dance before mv eves, *nd then sudden? ly the very blackness of darkness would appall me by its dense gloom. All at once,whilst gazing j|fy " *' ^ , t * " * TI?N | ?TiVlENT. 1 v%ww\^\%v^wv\v\v%%\ ?3 ISON, Editor. ^ at some frightful creation of my distempered mind, I seemnd struek with sudden blindness. I knew a caudle was burning in the room, but 1 could not see it. All was so pitchy dark. I lost the sense of feeling too, for I endeavored to , grasp my arm in one hand, but < consciousness was gone. I put J my hand to my side, my head, J but felt nothing, and still 1 knew my limbs and frame were there. ( An then the scene would change. , 1 was falling?falling swiftly as an arrow far down into some terrible abyss; and so like reality was it that as I fell, I could see the rocky sides of the horrible shall; where mocking gibing, m; wing, fiend-like forms were perched, and I could feel the air rushing past me, making my hair to stream out be the force of the unwholesome blast. Then the paroxysom, sometimes ceased for a few mo ments and I would siuk back on my pallet drenched with perspiration, utterly exhausted, and feeling a dreadful certainty of the renewal of my torments." Your dispensary is selling the stuff; believe the Devil's beautiful lie, take in enough of it, and <Tod's word lor it, you will have Oough's experience. The devil is saving to a good many of the weak-kneed Christ; i1 o ,i. i: ._ .1.... jaiis ui cciiiu ^aiuinm iu?u<t y, ' Prohibition won't prohibit, and you'll have the drinking without gelling the money you might get out of it. The liquor is good to make one strong; it is pleasant to the taste, and to be desired to make one feel great. Perserve your personal liberty and don't touch prohibition." This is the last issue before the Convention. Come all you prohibitionists and let us join ha ids to remove the curse. Under existing circumstances Williamsburg owes it to the other counties of the State to send a full delegation of good men to rep ^ it her in the State Convention which meets April 14th,in Columbia. County Co nvention to elect delegates to the State Convention will meet Saturday, April 2nd, in the court house, at 12 o'clock, m. When a man says "Prohibition won't prohibit," we fear he doesn't wish it to prohibit. Don't annoy others by your coughing, and risk your life by neglecting cold.

To all voter8 in Williamsburg county who desire the removal of th?. liquor traffic^ and are willing to vote in the next general election for men who advocate Prohibition. The State Prohibition Executive Committee having, called a State convention to meet in Columbia Anril 14th to nominate a Sta'e ticket, and having asked a full delegation from each county to take part in said nominations: Now therefore, in order to obtain delegates chosen by the people to represent this county in said nominatingconvention, I earnestly urge all who favor Prohibition of the liquor traffic to attend a meeting to be he'd in the court house at 12 o'clock, 011 Saturday the second day of April next.

While he was at no time seriously ill, he has been kept from his business and is not yet able to do his accustomed work with any com fort. Miss Mattie Mixon has been suf fering severely for several days with acute rheumatism. It is now hoped that she is now better though still suffering very much. There is to be a meeting here next Tuesday evening to organize a lodge of Knights of Pythias. We wish it much success. Several days ago the railroad company put in a standard steel crossing for the trains of the Mallard Lumber Company to cross their roads on, so that now the lum ber can cross, the railroad track without danger ordelay. All trains on the Central road have to come to a halt for the crossing, but as it is near the depot there is not much time lost by it. The many friends of Dr. I N. Boyd and Miss Gruber was very much surprized and delighted to hear the other day that they were, married. We all extend congratulations and wish the happy couple til the pleasure of united love and purpose, Dr. Boyd certainly deserves the love os this county, if faithful service and uniuersal kindness demanh any gratitnde. Oapt. J. R. Hair has planted cotto and we hear of several others who are about to commence. We believe the war fever is grad ually cooling down, and that not more than a full company will now volvunteer from this community. B. We are anxius to do a little good in this world and can think of no pleasanter or- better way to do it than by recommending One Minute Cough Cure as a preventive of pneumonia, consumption and other serious lung troubles that follow neglected colds. wax.lace Ann JOHnson The newly-discoverd gold-region in Mixido, towards which a movement has set in second only to the Klondike migration, is described in an illustrated artitle contributed to ho Aniprifun Mnnthlv Review of Rev*ew9 by Dr. H.
