PUBLISHED WEEKLY WINNSBORO, S. C. WEDNESDAY, JULY 1906.ESTABLISHED 1844 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. Subscriber. 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. Always Recommends Stag Brand. Nlessrs. Hirshberg, Hollander & 'Gentlemen: I have been using Tour Stag Paint in Lancaster, and can say that it is as good as any paint on the market. It 'will cover as much surface, and stand as long as any white lead or oil on the market. Lancaster, 8. C. Tous house is protected when 'covered with Stag Semi-Paste. Paint.

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. ~. R. P.

The result )f the trial was therefore a great sur irise, instead of disappointment. It is he same with the manufacturers of hamberlain's Colic, Cholera and r)iarrhoea Remedy. They do not pub icly boast of all this remedy will ac ~onplih, but prefer to let the users nake the statements.

"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." Twenty Year Battle. '- was a loser in a twenty year battle with chronic piles and ualignant sores, until I tried Bclen's ArnicaL Salve; which turned the tide, by curing both, till not a traice remaigg'-' writes A. M.
