r A Complimentary Words in a Leading Baltimore Daily about a Charming Young Lady of Lancaster. The Baltimore America" of last Thursday had the following to say about Miss Florence Robinson, the deservedly popular and highly attractive young lady of the Heath-Jones company, who has been in Baltimore lor some days, buying the company's fall stock of goods: The millinery houses are being especially rushed now, as many Southern milliners come up at this time of the year, and the houses look more as though a social function of some sort were going on than the serious proportion of selling goods | It mu8t not be thought that the milline-s and leminino buyers are a frn olous lot; far troin it. They exaniii e samples, inquire prices and j.lace orders with as much rapidit) , and often with more tasie. th.?n do most <>f ihe buyers of ttie opposite sex. An especially charming example ot this class is Miss Florence Robinson, who has been in da'ti more tor the last lew days buying bills from the local houses tbat would put many of the merjtfiants to shame. She represents Heath-Jones Co., of Lancaster, S. C , and is enthusiastic over the prospects for business this fall. "Of course," said Miss Robinson. "evervthinrr denenda nn tha - -p> -~f ? price cotton will bring, as,around Lancaster, we have very large crops of that staple. 'The larmers are a little spoiled on the question of price. They got such big prices last year that they think they ought to get 15 cents every year. 1 am afraid that they will not get anything like that much, however, though we do hope they will get 10 cents. I have been buying for HeathJones Co., for several years and although 1 am not buying quite as much this year as 1 did last, the orders are large and will surpass any placed before last year.

We had an object lesson at the reunion at Greenville last week in favor of prohibition in South Carolina. All who have attend ed these reunions for yeara past know that many of the old vetern.n? irave th?ma>?lvpn nv?r in ( f strong drink where it was easily procured, which caused the citizens of Columbia, and other cities where these meetings were held to close their doors against us, LI - THE Li for the reason that they did not want drinking people in theii homes. Nearly all the people oi these cities would at any time lurnish food and shelter for these battle-scarred veterans, provided they had left off the excessive use of whiskey. But on account ot this bad habit with them the> have for some yearn been lodged in tents and provided with straw for bedding. Shall we blame the committee* oi management and charge want of respect for the boys of the Confederacy? No. not that; bui the State and county put the whiskey in easy reach, and somt failed to resist the temptation ; and we all know the result. But about meeting in Greenville where there is no liquoi sold. Not a veteran was undei the influence of strong drink and ihey were practically tin same men who attend the re unions each year. The difference in the behavioi of these old men where whiskey is pold and where it is not shoulc cause the voters in South Caro una to consider tlie harm the) are doing their iellowmen ir voting for the sale of whiskey. And again, the men who pat ronize these dispensaries as ? rule are those who have but little money, and that is needed at their homes to buy clothing and food for the women and children, Otway Henderson.
