Thin Letter wan Received Liwi Week Alter (lie Paper was PrlnteU, But In Ktlll Good. Greenwood, S. C., Nov. 20,1S94. A recent visit to Newberry, S. C., convinces Soar correspondent that a more social and ospitable people are not to be found anywhere. During our visit of one week at Newberry two orlllTant weddings took place, court was held, Dr. Leo made a number of wonderful cures, at least so the Newberry papers say, an opera troup played one of tbelr best pieces, twenty-five bead ol fine horses were sold at auction and one hundred and sixteen western horses had juBt been shipped in for sale, two Italians exhibited a performing bear to the great delight of tbe small boy and the astonished darkle, a traveling phonograph man delighted tbe lovers of music with a recent Invention, anu last, but no least, tbe "Blind Tiger" played an active part, despite the vlgilence of tbe States constables. A letter recently received from our cousin. 8. M. Pyles, of San Paulo, Brazil, sayB: "I see from the papers Governor Tillman Is making things lively In South Caroyna. It would take two or tbree Tlllmans to establish dispensaries In Brazil and yet there Is not aimuch drunkenness here as there Is in your state." As viewed from oar standpoint, tbe dispensary law is far preferable to the barroom as formerly kept in South Carolina. Tbe fact Is, as we see it, tbe use of liquor, as a beverage, 3s a curse to any country. The evil 1?. among ps and here to stay. To eradicate it, we cannot. All we may reasonably hope to do la to temporarily suppress it. Tennyson mleht truthfullv have said: Men may come And men may go Bat men will drink forevermore. Mrs. J. F.

Tbls is no excuse for tbe farmer, but it is a good excuse to keep sucb an enterprise as a roller mill out of tbls country. Farmers, go to raising wbeat and take pains with it and keep your cotton seed to name it with. You are depending too much, upon tbe north, and they are speculating on everything you buy.

WOMAN SUFFEEAGE. What h Pretty Yohhk Lntly from Abbeville Hhn to Nay on the Subject. Augusta CbroDicle. If asked to give my opinion on the subject of woman sultrage, whether woman should vote, or remain the "household divinity," I should emphatically answer both. Tbeopln ions of the most learned meu of the day, vary on this subject. Some contend that woman V sphere Is the bome, and that voting among rough men will mar the beauty and purity of her character, sooDer than auything else. They harp on the fact that her place is at lUe fireside and there she should ever be lound, like a guardian angel, ministering to the wants of her lamily. Think ! they cry In holy horror, of women thronging to the polls, corniug in contact with drunken and dissolute men, and hearing vile words which would make the bol blushes suffuse the fact of any true woman. Can she come out of the tire unscathed? No! they cry; us the velvety Willie LI ess 01 I lie my i? iiiarn-u u v cwiiiiij^jn contact with the human hand, and lis soft down is ruthlessly scattered. so will woman's stainless purity and beauty be contaminated by mixing In the whirl of political life. They admit that there are good, pure men found at the ballot box I there are alas a superabundance of wicked ones, and women cannot mingle with these and come out the true, pure beings they were bofore. That woman can mix in political life, and still remain the presiding genius of the household has been clearly demonstrated by the charming and staunch little wife of William Yates Atkinson, the governor of a .Slate haughty and lair, and clothed In stalely beauty, namely, Georgia?a State that lt> famed far and wide for her lair and graceful daughters. "In 1871," says Willard Glazier, "the territorial Legislature passed a bill, in Cheyenne, giving universal suffrage without distinction of sax. , The ladles at once made use of their newly acquired right with an earnestness and universality entirely unexpected by those who had conferred its exercise upon them. In their capacity as grand jurors they closed every gambling saloon and brothel lu the city, put restrictions upon the liquor traffic, brought criminals to justice who nad heretofore defied the law, and, in brief made a clean sweep or the city, raisin? its social and moral standard. Women of all classes voted and, strange to say, even the worst women vot#u for law and order. .Political parlies loutid it necessary to put up men with good moral record. as well as tbose politically sound, for the women would not vole for a bad man. All classes recognized the good results of woman suffrage, and all opposition to it was speedily overcome. Cheyenne is now one of tbe best governed and most orderly cities in the country, and every Governor of tbe territory, whatever his political complexion, has given bis disqualified testimony in favor of women at tbe polls. Women not only deposited tbeir oallots unmolested but are treated with the utmost courtesy, and the polling places are made comfortable and even elegant, lor their reception. It is uo uncommon thing for husoand and wife to vote opposing tickets, but qodivisions thus far in families have resulted." This is a new era in which woman is begin ing to be recognized as the companion of man. Some men affect to sneer at woman's rights. S&id a member of a celebrated literary club: "I am aweary of the pretentious dissyllable and satiated with tbe ihcessant twaddle of woman's suffrage and womans rights," I for one say that if woman wishes to mix In I he political strife let her by all means, for a woman's influence Is always for tbe good but not to become so engrossed in the fascln-: atlng politics that she should forget that bfoe Is "Queen of Home." One of the most noted dlvines6 of our country, Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, who Ik now taking a trip around the world, says "that in New Zealand woman suffrage is In full blast and that woman elevates the ballot box. He also says that man at the ballot box is a (allure, and to give womau a chance, she may not elevate it any, but it is certain that she cannot make it any worse. Let England and America try it. The watch cry of the brave, noble and self-reliant woman of the 19th oentnry should be, "Excelsior." Maude L. Rogers. ^ My Brother'* Keeper. Augusta Chronicle. One of the illustrations used by Dr.Conwell in his lecture on "Acres oi Diamonds," ought to have an abiding place in the memory of tbose who heard him. It is not a new lesion that the lecturer sought to teach, but it is a practical one, and one that needs to be learned. It might be summed up in a single sentence thus: The man whose welfare the community is most interested in, is the man who is most interested in the welfarb of the community. The lecturer illustrated his thought by detailing a conversation that would be likely to ensue If be should enter the store of an unsuccessful merchant on Broad street, and matte luquiries uuuui Buuits ciuz?n wuo uhu recently come to Augusta to live. Each question was answered by the same *'1 dunuo," until at last, losing patience, tbe merchant blurts out: "I don't know anything about blm, and I don't care." That, said Dr. Conwell, is the secret of failure. The man who knows nothing about his neighbor, and who don't care anything about them,does notdeserve to prosper,and needn't expect to do so. "Am I my brother's keeper?" was an excuse offered in the dawn of human history and Is still sounding through the ages. We must feel an Interest In and a measure of responsibility for our brother. The man who lives most for his fellow-men has the deepest place In the affection of his fellowmen. The man who gives most, receives most. The man who lives a selfish, indifferent life to those around him may keep inherited wealth, or may by miBerly living hoard up bis own earnings, but no sucli man holds an abiding place In the affections of his fellows. The lesson of living for others and the good we can do for humanity is sure to bring its reward, not only iu the recompense ol a good conscience, but in material prosperityprovided, of course, that we really accomplish something. Tbe Ham's Horn, among Its many clever epigrams, declared recently, that "a man must not simply be good, be must be good for something." We must not simply feel the disposition to be of service to our feilow-mea, but wo must actually accomplish something, before we can claim reward. When we all realize that we owe something to the world and to our neighbors, when we rid ourselves of the pernicious creed that the world owes us a living, and when we cordially work together for the advancement of our community your towu will take on a new era of progress, and we will know a new era of prosperity as individuals. About Advertising. Columbia Register, There is a theory that advertisings pays. There are facts which prove the theory true. All men who advertise are not successful but with rare exceptions, all successlul men have been advertisers. Advertising is the greatest of all modern engines for facilitating business. Keslde it the telegraph, the telephone, the locomotive and steamboat are dwarfed. If It were not for advertising, these would not be needed. Business would not be of sufficient volume to justify their employment. The man in Chicago advertises and the man in St. Paul buys?by telenraph perhaps, and has his purchase delivered by the locomotive. But the advertising caine first. It always does. It conveys information and an invltatioo to buy at the same time. xiu au> ci tinciuciiu iu u. jjajji-i iiku i ut? Press & Banner places this Information beiore many buyers, either nresent or prospective. Count the cost of a suitable adver tlsement against the possible number of those who will need some special thing ou any day. The chances will always be found on the side of the profitability of the advertisement. Nine times in ten a good ad. Will brine more than enough In direct profit to pay for itself, leaving lis great cumulative value clear again. Hal** the time a good ad. will pay an actual direct profit, but to do this it must be carefully tended. Treat the newspaper fairly and it will pay every time. We are still holding ou to low prices. We will give you first-class goods cheaper than you ever bought them. They arestraight goods and no dead or auction stock. W. Joel Smith & Sons.
