C. b nt **-Publlshed every Wednesday at 82 a ~ year In advanoe. di Wednesday, Aug. 28,1907. u 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 at # 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] el Two Pretty Printerti. th Ft* la A week or two ago Miss Eula Campbell gQ oame down lrom Greenville, and aftor-her m return, her sister, Miss Daisy Campbell has Bpent several days with their cousln'b the p( Misses Gilmer.

Hon. I. A. Keller, President, Abbeville, M. C DearBlr.- On September 5th, tbe National Executive Committee will meet InJaokson, Mississippi, for tbe purpaseof discussing tbe cotton situation In general, aud fl.xmg tbe price or cotton lor ibis season. iluuu outie in urgently requested to recommend a price for which It will stand. Therefore I. as President ot tbe South Carolina Division, call a meeting of the County Presidents, together with tbe State ExecutWe Committee, to meet at twel ve o'clock, Friday, August 80th, to dIscuss tbe situation of the Southern Cotton Association In South Carolina and what minimum price, In our Judgment, should be fixed. In this connectlOD, also, I urge you to call a meeting of your County Association, asking each township to send as many delegates as possible to your Court House to meet on August 24lh, so tbat you, as president, may come with as full report from your county ns possible. I'lease do not neglect this all Important matter, as other matters of vital Importance and Interest will be discussed on that occasion also. In case you, as president, cannot come, which I hope will not be tbe case, please send a representative In your stead. Very sincerely, E. D. Smith, Pras. S. C. Dlv. 8. C. A. 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.

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.
