We forgot to mention sootier that c the dinner, which was by no 11 means the least enjoyable part ,J ol the program, was served in * groups?on account of the largo ' number present.

I' was near 11 o'clock I ~ when Senator Tillman arrived and announced that he would''1 have to return to 1 loath Springsp by 2:30 o'clock in order to make) v railway connection for home : ' such h"io-r th ci-'f his tim 1 \v is N very litnitel and he was com- 11 pel led to make his address, and 1 take dinner on the road.

July 21st. As Liberty I* Hill is so far ironi the centers ^ of population many people 1 thought the crowd ill attendance " would t o small, but their doubts I ^ were soon dispelled, as loin; be- 1 tore the "King ot day" had y reached the zenith every avail ' able shade was tilled with people '' and vohie'es. Many people came 8 a distace of twenty miles and from at least three counties. The number of people present was e estimated by tliose who ought s to tie able to judge?at 1200 to ^ 1400 ? we know that it was by 1 far tbe largest crowd we have v ever seen at this place. The day 1 was typical July weather, with- ' mil ruin bill h few nassitlf? cl()U(ls S v- I - o which tempered I lie effects of s' the sun's ravs and made the ? heat less oppressive. The day 11 wa? spent, in viewing the seen erv, listening to the speeches (mention of which will b<- w made below), watchiug a game " of lull between Heath Springs and Liberty Hill nines, and in conversation. The best of order ^ prevailed throughout, the day and the only thing to mar 1 lie pleasures of the day was the 1 fact that our popular and efficientcommander,Capt. Richards, was detained at. home most of a the day by the serious illness of a momher of his family, who wo '' ind that he was going to talk ibout State affairs. Some said lie lad no right to do so, but should ontino hini-ell to hij; senatorial luties, but he has not lost inter " 11 ?st in issues at homo; he did lot care tor criticism, in fact, at her enjoyed it for the ingenu-| ty of the arguments used The ssue is the liquor question. It1 vas claimed by some that be loisted the dispensary on the leople when thev had voted for irobibition. It was true the irohibition vote was greater han the opposition but there vas 30,000 who did not vote on he issue at all. He desired to ive something better than we tail but had studied the question n Maine and was satisfied it \oukl not prohibit. He did not ike the idea of encouraging the iabit of lying to gel whiskey, ?<> ubstituted (he dispensary lawlie Senate adopted it and the louse accepted it, All of his eninies foil in line with theoppoition. He tried to get good men or constables but the law and hose who tried to enforce it .-ere hounded and abused so hat it became necessary to get lie men who would stand and hoot when needed.The result was time killings did occur but tbe pposition did not mention the umber to the credit of the old arrooni system. The question is ere, we have to consider it diether we want to or not.

What did you vote lor ini for if you did not believe in im? 11 he Pees the people about o be betrayed and warns them lis enemies say he is dictating nd wants to be boss. The dispensary should not mve been taken out o: the lands ol the governor. No man an be elected governor who is iot honest.

When you eat it an easy and pleasant feeling passes over you like one in love chilled with happiness. If bread is the staff of life, why not eat good bread when it lies in quantities right at your door. If you want the very whitest flour we can supply you. We have flour that is whiter than j y the whitest in Lancaster, but reason tells us that no I power can ge greifter than the source from which it jl ^ came. When you take your wheat to mill do you want your flour chalked or bleached by electricity? If you do, this will do for fancy or for pride in hearing some one brag on how white your biscuits were at dinner. How about your health? Don't overlook this. Life is sweet, and when millionaires are groaning from aches and pains from adulterated food you can be wishing for the time to come when you can square yourself at the . table and be satisfied to sit and eat all the Magnolia "biscuits that your appetite calls for and fear no harm.
