McMASTER COMPANY. NEWS AND HERALD PUBLISHED WEEKLY, --Y WINNSBORO PRINTING CO. .FRANK FOOSHE, - - . EDITOR TERMS, IN ADvANCE: One Year,........................$1.50 Six Months........................... .75 WINNSBOR O, S. C. Wednesday, Nov. 15, 1905. If the amount of advertising on the part of home merchants is a true index to the business life of a community-and it is a pretty well accepted principle that it is-Winnsboro is not much of a dead town these days. Since cotton has maintained such a fair price during the sea son of heavy receipts, why should it not go still higher? It looks very much as if there are better things in store for the man who is freezing on to his cotton. Even 12 cents cotton is more than a dream. The sowing of grain has been very much retarded by the long dry spell. Now that it has rained, it should be the order of the day. No farmer should fail to put in a reasonable part of his land in grain. It is only through the raising of all his supplies at home that the farmer can reap the prof its that come from the raising of cotton, even at eleven cents. More, it is only through a system of alternating crops that lands can be inproved at the least cost. Land sowed in grain and* then followed by pease is in a far bet ter fix for the next year's crop, than it would be if continued in clean cnltivation. The improve ment of his land is a very con siderable item with the farmer. It is the sure way to permanent prosperity. Improving the lands and the using of better farm im plements is gQing to be the solu tion of the labor question, that is becoming to be more and more vexing to the Southern farmer, who is going to have to do some good head work or be forced to have to do lots of work with his own hands. A feature that has counted for no little in the rapid harvesting of the cotton crop, has been the fine weather. This counted not only in getting the crop from the fiela, but also in getting it to the market. The roads have been as good, as they can be under the present crude way in which they are attended to. The superiority of the roads in this scetion after a long dry spell like there has' been as compared with what they are in wet weather ought .to be a fine object lesson to the farmers as to tho importance of keeping the roads in better shape all the while. It is a big item to a farmer to be able to haul two bales of cotton, where otherwise he would be able to haul only one. The saving of his own time and the saving of the additional labor required means much, es pecially since labor is becoming so scarce. Better roads are one of the ways in which the labor problem, that is coming more and more home to the Southern people, is goong to be solved. And Spartanburg did do for the dispensary just what was expect ed of it, voted it out by an over whelming majority. Greenville also voted on the proposition of dis pensary or no dispensary yester day and prob abilities are strong that it too is now rid of the Groat Moral Institution. With these two very populous counties in the pioibiton ranks there are -now fourteen of the counties in South Carolina without a dispensary. ['bese counties represent decided ymore than one-third of the entire population of the State. Several other counties will vote on this ale proposition within the next few weeks and it is now pretty well nigh certain that some of these counties will be added to the counties that favor prohibiton rather than the present system of dealing with the whiskey traf fic. While the number, who have voted in each of the counties in which elections have been held has not been as large as it should have been there is no question about it that the sentiment of the majority of the people of the Paletto State is decidedly in favor of prohibition. Can Read Now. The books of the, Winnsboro Public Library are again being let out and the members are mak ing a free use of them. The change of the library hours to 4 to 6 in the afternoon is going to prove very helpful, as the~ library can now give the books better at tention. There is very great need for new books for the lib rary and all members who have not paid their dues for this yeaty are urged to attend to the same Beggar Prince Coming. Manager McMaster ann:uuces Lhat after considerable negotia toi he has closed contracts with the management of "The Beggar Prince" Opera for an appearance at the Thespian Hall on Monday Nov. 20, for one night ouly. This engagement Mr. McMaster considers the most notable in the amusement line that he has effect ed in some time, the company re quiring a large guarar'tee for one performance. The piece is bnilt on operatic lines enacted by per formers who are trebly gifted being vocalists, farceurs, and possessing dramatic ability as well-"The Beggar Priuce" this season being composed of these three entertaining elements. This edition has been edited by Wm. H. Lydell, author of "Gayest Manhattan" and other New York Travesty Successes. The present ing company is beaded by Miss Etta Merris, soprano and come dienne, well and favorably known to patrons of light opei a, for the past seven seasons having had the responsible roles in numerous musical reviews of importance. As a fun-maker few ladies can impart to an audience that feel ing of spontaneity and good fellowship that Miss Merris can. She possesses a style ail her own, and is ably assisted by clever comedians and pretty girls cos tumed in fetching gowns. The latter, daring the action of the play, will introduce for the first time here the "Sammy Girls;" "The Noble Firemen," "Belles and Beaux at the Sea Shore," and numerous other musical and vocal ensemble numbers. The latest lightning effects known to stageland are employed in enhanc ing a performance that will be a real loss to miss witnessing. Manager McMaster enterprise in securing attractions of this calibrs will no doubt be appreciated by our playgoers, and a big house is assured. Seats are on sale at McMaster Druggist.

At the adjournment of the recent term of court held in Lancaster county, over which Judge Buchanan presided, the following resolutions were un animously adopted by the bar of Lancaster: Resolved: 1st. That the thanks of the Bar of Lancaster and the officers of court are es- < pecially due and are hereby tendered to the Hon. 0. W. Buhanan of Winnsboro, South1 Carolina, for the uniform courtesy painstaking .dare and marked abil ity shown by him while presiding as Special Judge at this our Octo ber Term, 1905, of . the courts of General Sessions and Common Please for Lancaster County. 2nd. That the Clerk of this Court is heredy requested to spread the above resolutions uyon the, miuutes of this court and that a certified copy thereof be furnished the Hon. 0. W. Buchanan. Observe The Day. For the past few years thei stores in Winnsboro have been closing on Thanksgiving Day, but each time it has been 1 necessary for a petition to be carried around, asking for the1 closing of the stores. The dag is the one national holiday and should be observed as su'ch by all places of business, nor should be any need for a petition asking for its observance. Especially ought that to be so this time, for this county has been exceedingly. 1 blessed with good crops, whicht have brought a good price. The county was never in better con dition financially. The day should be observed not only as a day of rest, but it should be made the occasion for a real thanksgit~ing for the great prosperity that has come to the county. Certainly every business house will be closed for the day, so that the clerks . may spend the day in whatever way they see fit. They have had a busy time of it and opportunity to have the day off will count. for much in putting them in better shape for the heavy work that will be before them during the month of Decem ber.d Fine Fairfield Farms. t _. 0 ( Winkbro Curresxpondme~'c to Theo I *state, or'. s.) 1 The cotton crops around here are the best fo ryears.
