GREENWOOD LETTEB.
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

Some of tbe farmers are busy sowing grain.
Some are complaining in diflerent com muni

there are > no mills lu tbls country tbat can
make good floor. 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. The time Is coming
when It will pay every man in the south to

How shall I love you ? I dream all day,
Dear! of a tenderer, sweeter way :
Hongs tbat I sing to you?words tbat I say;
Prayers tbat are voiceless on lips that would
pray?
I These cannot tell of the love of my life:
I How shall I love you?my sweetheart, my

I How shall I love you ? Love is the bread
Of life to a woman?the white and the red
i Or all the worl-i's roses; the light that Is shed
On all the world's pathways till light shall be
dead!
I The star in the storm and the strength in the
strife:
| How shall I love you?my eweelhenrt, my
wife?
Is there a burden your heart must bear?
I shall kneel lowly and lift it, dear!
Is there a thorn iu the crown that you wear?
Let it hide in my heart 1111 a rose oiossoms
there!
For grief or for glory?for death or for life.
Ho shall I love you?my sweetheart, my wife!
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."

^
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.
