n The Abbeville Press and Bannerj 7W. W. & W. R. BKADLEY. ABBEVILLE, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1909. ESTABLISHED 1844' J| I, Henry Wat'terson and the Liquor Questioi Augusta Chronicle. 1 Hon. Hebry Watterson, in reply I ja friend and war comrade, refuses I concede that to excessive liquor drint ng alone is atrributable most of tt crimes of the day; nor will he adrn that to liquor is a! tribut: b e more crim khan to other causes. He declares ths here are many voices which arise 01 If our frail humanity and afflict m liety which are notarritbutable tothi lause. I Mr. Watterson holds that drinkin ) excess is confined to a very sma percentage of every community, an Ipntends that of late years there ha fceu a steady diminishing of thedrin Ho^it, due to the better eulighi mentofmen. Iu the Latin countries such as Spain, Franceand Italy,drunl enness is unknown. In Germany where beer is the national beveragi Hioro io nn annh thinf an drurikennesi r"But, in Maine, sixty years of cirasti prohibition have not sufficed to e> tinguish drunkenness or regenerat the people." As a matter of fact, this long term c prohibition in Maine has brought inl being a retinue .ftf evils never befor known, although inevitable to the e fort to control by legislative enactmeti the "appetites and individual libeitit of the people." Mr. Watterson, always interesting writes: "Our friend of West Tennessee i mistaken iu his theory that prohib tion prohibits. He is mistaken in hi theory that wicked huspands and ba fathers may be turned into good hui bands and fond fathers by actofassem bly. The attempt to do it entails wau ton impositions to begin with and foi casts untoward conditions to eDd will sacrificing the freedom of the peopl without elevating the morals of th people. The better way, and the su ficient way, H to close the evil place where the community united tnoug! to close thtrn and to keep them closed each the judge of its own excice ai rangemenis, leaving every iudividuo free to develop upon his own lines r conscience and conduct.

Force impelled b clericalism and hystericalism, tquall.i undiscrimina'iujf aud despotic, neve yet did any lasting good, but alwa.\ in the end, surely come9 ths irremed able wrong." We know now, dowu here in Geoi gia, that prohibition does uot prohibit We can uot draw a lesson in the mal ter from our city of Augusta, for it ha been honed that there would be prohi bitiou of consumption of liquor at (hi point. The fact that there is the le^a sale of liuuor two hundred yards froc the city limits?in the adjoining Stat of South Carolina?is testimony tha those who enacted the prohibition law did not hope to bring about a halt i the drinking ot liquor in this cit; But we have the testimony of towr that are not similarly situated, tec graphically, that the prohibition law have not resulted in putting a stop t liquor driuking. Kentucky may pass all the law ' against "demon rum" that she wishef but she will not be able te enforce pre bibition of consumption any mor than has Georgia, Maine or the oihe States that have enacted stalutes < this sort. IT IS A MONEY MAKER. The Abbevelle Dispensary Pays Well, Says Senator Graydon. Hon. w. N. Graydon, State senate from Abbeville county, and orte of th leading lawyers of the Abbeville ba is in the city ou profes*ioual businesi says Saturday's Andersou Mail. Mr. Graydon was asked what tli Abbeville county people would doabo< the dispensary at the election to b held iu August. "I-do not thiuk it will be voted ou', said Mr. Graydon. "Iu fact, we cat not aft'ord to vote it out," he continuet "There is too much money in it fc us. Our dispensary'sold S9,000 wort of liquor in April, and half of that wt profit. We expect to make at lea! $60,000 out of it this >ear. Mr. Graydon says the Abbevi le dii pensary is shipping a lot of liquor 01 of the State to points in Georgia an North Carolina, both of which are dr States. A good deal of liquor is sbij ped to Atlanta, Mr. Graydon says. Under the law the Abbeville dispel sary cannot ship liquor into dry coui ties in this State, but there is nothin to nrevent people from dry counties g< ing to Abbeville aD<1 buying whiskey and Mr. Gravdon pays the di.-ppnsar sells a great deal of whiskey to Greet wood, Laurens aud Anderson count people. ? 4^ > Why Wirz was Hanged. .

I do Dot know all ubout orchards, eed, lew do. But It would certainly be dothe right thing to plow the orchard carey and well, If that has not been done earin the sprlDg. If tbe trees are planted In '8, an tbey usually are, tbls will not be y difficult. But if tbe orchard is one ol se in which tbe trees are standing irregny and without ordpr, it will be quite d fflL to plow, an tbe limbs of tbe trees will be he way. rhen tbe trees are In rows, this difficulty I be partly removed. In plowing, tbe dirt uld be thrown towardR the trees, mi away n tbem, so that when tbe work Is finished rows of trees will etand In tbe center of e lands, with furrows between. It will be l not to plow very deep near the trees, tber away, it will not hurt to plow some per. It is always safe to plow quite deep . young orchard. As the trees grow older piowlug should not be discontinued, but depth should be Jess, tor tbe tree roots e taken possession of the soil, aDd deep ivlng would break ibera unnecessarily. It trees are in rows two ways, it will be pos9 to break tbe groupd between the trees :ross plowing, and there will be left only inbroken square of soil around each tree. b unbroken ground should be kept clear ol ds with tbe boe or grass scythe. As tbe s grow and tbe limbs reach out, It will not >ot-8lble to plow near them any longer, but 111 not then be needed Tbe open spaces ffeen rows should still be plowed, as tbe h mulch tpus formed v.'ill be valuable as leans of checking evaporation after rains, ter 1>- essential In the summer, aDd easily . Anything that will help to keep it In ground where it will reach tbe tree roots, be beneficial. Bo it is evident tbat the soil should be kept broken, if possible, afheavy rains, throughout the growing ion, Just as in the fl ld crops.
