Prohibition Prophet. n
Senator Tillman spoke wise when he said p<
that the dispensary was "a step towards pro- g
hlbltlon" Because of the management of the tl
dispensary and because of hatred of an In- o
atltutlon which supplanted the licensed bar t!
system, the combined opposition bids fair to p
win, when prohibition will follow. The constitution
of this state forbids the lloenslng of d
the old time bars, and It looks like the prohl* li
bltlon wave may Bweep the Slate. Georgia li
has enacted a prohibition law, and bar keep- w
era are Bald to be making ready to move or go c
out of the business on or before the first of b
Jannrary, 1908. si
A sure enough true, prohibition law would
be a consummation devoutly to be wished, y
The people of South Carolina need protec- a
tlon from the drug habit too. n tl
The people should be taught that all lntox- w
1 eating llquois are more or leas poisonous, b
and that whatever la polsluous that is taken tl
Into the stomach, the very oltadel of life Is P
Injurious and will sooner or laterdlsturb that k
t organ In the proper discharge of the duty a
whioh nature haB assigned It. With the ,l
stomach ruined or Injured life Itself becomes
a burden. 0
Young people, or those who have older H
grown, should be Impressed with the tmpor- ^
tanoe of taking care of the stomach. P
Intoxicating liquors and other drink*
should be avoided. There Is no good aud ?
much harm In sooalled harmless drinks. a
Nursing mothers if they would not Impart
to their Innocent babes the desire for lotoxi- 11
cants should .themselves abstain from the a
nse of intoxicants. w
Prohibition Is a good thing If we have pro- 9'
blbltlon. Bat before this people goes into 11
prohibition, we hope to see the hours short- 11
ened In which liquor may be sold In the
dispensary. If the dispensary was opened at
ten oclock In the morning and closed at two T
oclock all the Deeded liquor could be bought 0
and nobody will deny that liquors are need- a
ed In the treatment of the sick. Old people &
often need It and from the Infirm should p
not be takes the right to boy It lawfully. "
The habit of disregarding the laws of health w
and then dosing the stomach with either in- *
toxicants or deleterious drugs, is working in. 11
Jury to human life. Men should remember
that for every aot of dissipation there will a
be a reckoning In future years, and if tbej '
would remember that their stomachs are not
copper lined, they would have better health *
and would live longer and happier.
Nature, if allowed a chance would repair *
many of the Ills for which* too many of as
fly to drugs, with which to rain our stomacns 1

Crescent Ale. p<
Some Industrious gent ap about Virginia ^
has been selling a drink known as Crescent lt
Ale, In this part of the oountry. The ale Q(
looks like lager beer, tastes like lager, and ia
the Sheriff says that lt Is lager beer.
It sells like hot oskes! p(
Whenever a fellow tries a bottle becomes e8
back promptly after another, and another.
This ale wbb evidently made at an ?p-to- n,
date brewery. Some who have tested It m
claim that lt is even superior to the stuff that
Mr. Joe Jones Bells down on Rosenberg block. go
The retailers who bought this ale doubtless c0
did not know what they were buying; but B[
now they have fair warning. If you are sell- hr
log Crescent Ale ship it back quick belore tbe cj,
Sheriff reaches your place. H
There ought to be some way to handle the
aonroe of each an evil at this. It wonld be bo p?
much easier to Btop tbe evil by blotting out
the fountain head than by handling it after it p(
haa been distributed all over the State. (
A man who would come through tbe coun- y,
try and sell a thing like this without puttlog
his customers wise to the situation and thus av
leave them to bear tbe brunt of tbe law, lgno- |y
rant of what they have bought from him,
ought to be handled ! some way. If, when al
this agent sold the stuQ, be told his customers
that they were buying a good quality of beer t|;
of him and that It had some alcohol In it, was
a good seller for that reason and with this lu- N
formation the customer bought It, then the w
customer deserves nothing but the brunt of t,t
the law. T]

Some people are Imbued with a mawkish |

The above letter explains Itself. The Southern
Cotton Association Is about to fix tbe
price of cotton for the coming crops. It Is a
matter that should bo thoroughly weighed
before attempting to fix a price. It is so easy
to make a mistake tbat might cost much
mnnev to the South.
The Cotton Hsoclrt tlon should first consult
the Farmer* UdIon bciore fixing a price and
see If It Is not possible to get a price fixed that
will be agreeable to botb institutions. For
tbe Association to fix a price at one figure
and tbe Union at another means confusion
worse oonfounded. Let tbe two organizations
get together and fix a minimum price at, say,
12% cents per pound, wblcb Is nnder tbe pres
ent price. It would be far better to ask at
least 12% oents and get It than to ask IS cents
and not get It.
Let the farmers make a reasonable demand
and then let tbem stick to their figures to tbe
end. Fix a price and stay by It. Tbls would
only mean that you will not sell a pound of
ootton below 12% cents or sucb price as you
may fix, and yod should get as much more as
the market will warrant. /
It Is true that cotton Is now selling at from
13% to 13% cents per pound, but tbls Is based
od tbe old crop and Is due to tbe Inadequacy
of tbe supply. If It develops later that reports
are true which indicate a short crop for
Texas, Loulslaqp and Mississippi, tbe minimum
price can be raised accordingly to 14 or
15 cents. If, on tbe contrary, tbe crop in
these States is found to be about normal, and
tbe splendid condition here Is unchanged,
there 1b danger of a slump, and these different
organizations will be powerless to sustain
a nrlrto all nnt. nf nrnnnrllnn with the size of
? ^.vv w.. v. r-*-r ?
the.crop. Better to fix a rate that can be sustained
even If there 1b a large orop, than to
flx a price too high and lose prestige In tbe
failure to make good.
There Is demand for thirteen million bales
American ootton. This last crop has demonstrated
that fact, and tbe farther faot that 12%
to 18 oents Is a fair price for a crop of this size.
Let tbe Cotton Association ard tbe Union
keep In toaoh with the oatilde world, and If
It Is concluded that tbe crop will not ezoeed
thirteen million bales, let them stand for 121
or 13 cent* cotton.
Charleston l?ins.
Charleston has about won out In Its struggle
for a steamship line to Europe. Baran
Von Pills of the North German Lloyd Is In
Columbia to-day and was In Charleston yes
terday on thla business.
Should Charleston be sncoessfnl in this undertaking
It will mean more fpr her than any
tblng that has happened In the old city for a
long time. It means muoh, sot only for
Charleston but to the entire State as well. It
Is only a question of time until we will take
our share of the business from New York and
Boston, Iwhioh was wrested from us years
ago.
There Is now no steamship line from Charleston
to Europe and If we would visit the
old world we. must, per force, go to New York
to oatcb a steamer. Snob oondltlons will nol
last muob longer, and we bt.ll tbe day wheD
we can have a part of the maratlme business.
It seems that we have been sleep all thl*
time, while all tbe exports and Imports of
tbe poutb going and coming by way of New
York, Boston and Philadelphia.
Tbe new south will not stand for suob conditions
longer, and we may look for a change
In the near future.
? . ???. ; .
Honae Parly.
There are bousepartles In which are gathered
the gay and beautiful maidens and the
handsome youths ;'rom city and country side.
It Is very much in vogue to call In these happy
hearts, as If Into a family, and to turn
over the premises to merry-makln g. There
la the soft music, the sweet oadenoe of youthful
voices and the dance that In itself Is
rytbm. Surely the blind poet knew something
of the wiles of the danoe ball when be
wrote:
" Came and trip It as you go
On a light fantaBllo toe."
Such a house party, with Its aggregation of
youth and beauty Is tbe dream cf those on
pleasure bent, but we would mention another
house party which must be given precedence.
Reference 1b bad to tbe reunion of tbe family.
When tbe children of one family have been
scattered by tbe vlolsltudeB of fortune: when
"some have gone to lands far dlBtant, and
with strangers made their bomes"; when fath?r
and mother are lflft arnnnd thn nld Are
side to dream of by-gone days; tbe call that
re-unites tbem In tbe family circle 1b fraught
with pleasure tbat tbe angles might well
envy.
What If some bare wandered from tbe
path of rlgbt? Wbai If some have eaten ol
tbe busks wltb wblcb swine are fed? The
world may frown upon tbem, and for tbe
world tbey may wear a callous mask, but in
tbe family circle tbere Is no mask, but a
unison of hearts wblcb .like tbe violin pro.
duces purer and sweeter phords wltb age. It
Is an unnatural beart tbat will forget tbe
brother or sister who rested upon tbe same
bosom, whether there be difference In wealth
station or morals. Tbe famllv bouse party Is
or ought to be the bouse party of greatest
pleasure.
Judge M. E. Holllngswortb, of this city, has
juBi experienced ipe pleasure or a lamny
bouse party. Happily, there were no prodigals
at thlB re-UDkm. It was the gathering of
a prosperous family.
Judge Holllngsworth is one of the best financiers
who ever graced this or any other
olty. After spending a good fortune In youth
he began In middle lite to gather up the fragmehts
and to build on them. It Is unusual
for a man to rally after passing the meridian
of life, but this Is Just what Judge Hol.'lngswortb
did.
He may well be prondof his success In business,
for be has made a competency tor himself.
but over all this he should reach bis
hand end placing It upon the beads of bis
children say, these are my Jewels.
