As the sequel shows his money was very likely worthless. On Tuesday he went Into a drug store to bay some medicine, and tendered some counterfeit money. The gentleman detected immediately that the money did not have the right ring about it, and subsequently Jones and his friend Moore were arrested, but a3 a prima facie case could not be made out, they were released. It is tr* fKofr thoTT {i??o A a parted.

The time has arrived when vaccination should be compulsory and we urge upon the town council to use whatever power they may po3ses3 in forcing people to be vaccinated. The public health demands it. The wonder is that the disease has not spread, but that it has not done so. At Claflin Univeriity it is now unquestionably established .that this terrible disease exiits, and it is directly traceable to the Sten-honse cases in Greenvil'e. Students from every coanty in the State are attending this institution, and their letters are passing through the mail. A great many colored families right here in Fairfield are represented at Clafio, and of course there is com mumcauon Dy lener auu omerwise. How rea902?ble then it is to believe that infected letters are iu oar very midst! This is enough to impress the importance .of taking every precautionary means to prevent an epedemic. The disease may be communicated by handling money that has been in infected communities. It can be conveyed by the trains passing through the to<vn; especially when so large a number of people go to the train as in Winnsboro. When this disease can i be checked with so little expense and inconvenience, it is folly to be indifferent. Vaccinate. Free Pills; Send your ddress to H. E.

I should like to get the opinion of the pr?cficaljarmers of the cotton States Dn a little-plaiL which I have been cogitating for sum<flimen>v'~-cUil^the cotton producer can be best benefitlcTT" AsRoddey's plan has notbeen adopted ind that some of my friends ask that I make my plan known to my fellow farmers, I give it. Let every county in tbe cotton States elect a, cotton agent and send tiim to their State capitol where they will elect a state agent. The state igents to mee: in a central place, say Atlanta, and elect a cotton king whs will deal directly with the manufacturers. Let the kiDg know aborit what number of^bales is being made in each state; tlis state agent to know the number of bales in each county. The king will agree to sell a certain number of bales at a certain price; but only with the consent "of two-fhirds otthe state agents. If they corfsent, the king will order each state sgent Jo have his proporiionate number "of balei sold; and the state agents order the county agents to ship to a certain factory, at * certain price, their proportionate is amber of bales. Let no cotton be sold in auy other way, and manufacturers will 600U be hungry enougn 10 pay our owu piice for cottou. In this way no capital is necessary, for ?five cents off the bale will pay all these agenti handsome salaries. This plan need not eflect thos-3 who do bQsiness on a lien; for merchant and farmer will be alike benefited. It would certainly be a benefit to the merchant to have the country in a more prosperous condition. The farmer could deposit his cottou with his merchant, which would make his merchant in3t as safe as he now is. P. C. Mellichampe. Back Lick, Jan. 7, 1898.

Mr. Editor: The consensus of opinion seems to be that the ''liquor question" or "dispensary law" will be one of the most important subjects for consideration at the coming meeting of the Legislature. This being so, is not worthy of the most earnest consideration by all our people? There is evidently a wide difference of opinion in regard to the "prohibition" vole a few years since, hence I am of the opinion that "local option" is the best way to settle the matter. I do not mean local option as it has been practiced, to a very limited extent in the past in this State, i. e., allowing only the incorporated towns to vole on the question, but local option in the broader sense of referring the question ~ ?A4* *! *A rocri<4^ IAJ ilii LUC ^UaiiUCU V^ugia vi. ix?v ^ v live counties. If the Legislature will repeal the present dispensary law, and enact in its stead a local option lawgiving tc each county the light to settle for itself which it prefers of the three following methods of handling the liquor question, viz., high license, local dispensaries without the profit feature, or prohibition, I believe it will be tend to be the best practical solution of the matter. Low license and State dispensaries have been tried and found wanting, while it is hardly probable that the majority o.' the legal voters in me State believe prohibition to be altogether practical. The election should be conducted just as the ordinary nominating prima ries?first vote on all three methods then afterwards on the two receiving the highest number of votes, if a second election prove necessary. The whole county should vote on the question, but in no case should kliqnor be sold except in incorporated towns of a certain population. Under the high license system the raw "should regulate the quality of liquors to be sold and .the hours te-fceobserved in their sale, etc. The o. p. establishments could hardly continue their fight Lto amy extent imder the no-profit looal dispensary system. If prohibition should be voted then enforce it as well as possible. I am convinced of one thing, and that is, if liquor is to be sold it should be done absolutely and entirely as a fienara!e and distinct business bv itself, with no connection whatsoever with any other business. Surely this plan would be fair to all factions who have a genuine desire to progress along the way to a correct settlement of this extremely important matter. Then why not try "local option?" Reader.

Dm* nftWR colnmns this morning mention the fact tbat Rev, Dr. Rainsford, of at. George's Episcopal Church, New York, passed through this city yesterday. Dr. .Rainsford preached a very remarkable sermon to men last Sunday evening?a sermon which arould seem to entitle him to a vacation. In it he urged all men to join the church. "Everything in this lite," be said, "obeys the rule of association," end "the church is an association to make men good." "I do not mean to tell you that the church is infallible; that there are no hypocrites in it. But I do say thai it offers to everybody the opportunity of doiog good toward his fellow man." The point is made by the New York Sua, in discussing tkis sermon, that it nowhere refers to the Church as a Divine institution, in which lies the means for the salvation of men, bat that "it is treated as a fallible human institution, which commends itself to men [as a voluntary association simply, ot moral and religious usefulness to them." Dr. Rainsford is quoted a3 having said, amongst o'her things: "We cannot give you au infallible Bib!-', f*>~ the Bible is not an infallible book: l?tu we can give you a light unto >our feet and a hope for your lives." Where are w? drifting? Dr. Lyman Abbott, of Plymouth church, said even ranker things than this in hi* sermon Sunday after Christmas day; he said that Chaist did not come into the world to show men the way to heaven or to keep them out of hell. Thi3 is an age of new ihings?of things new in rrlicrinn in noli ties. in everything1. The world is moviDg along. A bright aud aspiring politician in North Carolina said, in a public address, a couple of years ago, that the church has always been on the side of human slavery; and though the speech created a little flatter of talk at the time, the man rrrKrt xnQrin it vcfla ve>?r Secretary of State. The utterauces of people who hold advanced views on religion, even in conssrvative North Carolina, are passed by unnoticed or forgiven, The men who bold the old beliefs in politics, declining to accept new doctrines, are branded as reactionaries and are deprived of their yellow jhckets and peacock feathers.?Charlotte Observer OAffTORIA.
