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 '

This being campaign year and 1

es ol the day worthy of some|
notice. 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

Reported for The i.ews. 1
As previ"usly announced, the '
aniiU'il picnic of the Liberty j *
Hill Killes was held hero on,'
Saturday. 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. Was |
lad when Lumpkin was going
[i run, it gave him something to
o ; he is now making campaign ,
ecause he believes it his duty ,
o do so. 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. It should not have

ward of control composed of
toliticians at a salary ol $'100

After a pitchfork anecdote
and a few pleasant remarks t"

HABIT!
Habit rules one's life. Don't allow yourself to get
into bad habits. People who have used good Flour all
their lives can't quit, and if they happen to get bad flour
tm*y ait; cuvvuys hi u iiurry tu i iu ui n. vv iieu ,yuu
want to feel that life is a pleasure and worth living-,
don't forget to use the best? ,
PAGN QLIA i

It's purity convinces the most skeptical. 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.
Cleanliness, purity and quality. Your trade invited with
the assurance that it will be appreciated and the goods
we sell vou to be the very best in the lines we carry.

Groceries, Dry Goods, Notions?in fact, everything a
farmer needs. Most respectfully,

Trade makes us happy. Goods return the compliment.
