There will be a few weeks allowed to dispose ol the stock on hands and then wo will be the dry column. Manx evils will result from our effort to be tee-totallers. Many of us will break the letter of law. Let ub hope that no oue will break the spirit of the law. As the law stands under which we live to day nine tenths of us are breaking It. Here are some of Its requirements: Section 1. By this section no person can receive, store or keep wine, whiskey or brandy in his private home, whether used for sickness or as a beverage. If you buy liquor from another State and have It shipped to your borne, It will be seized by constables ae contraband liquor and the owner Hoed or Imprisoned not more than $500 or less tban 8100. It Is unlawful to accept, receive, give away, store, own or possess wine or liquor, either at or away from borne and for sickness or pleasure. ' Section 4, declares no druggists can sell a), cohol or sacramental wine for churches without giving a $5,000 bond and keeping a book of records. In no case except ohurcheB can he sell wine and never whiskey, brandy or beer?even 'or medicinal use. He can only Bell pure alcohol. Section 4. No person can ever buy whiskey brandy or wine?nothing but alcohol?theD not more than one-balf pint at a time. Before he can get this, he must pay for a physician's prescription. No physician can give a prescription without first making an actual examination of the patient and certifying that bin sickness requires the use of alcohol. A well person cannot buy even alcohol. Section 5. If a person pays for a prescslp " lion, it must be filled on the same day or day following, after which time, it cannot be filled at all, nor can any prescription ever be refilled. You have to pay the physician every time. The alcohol cannot be delivered to any person, except to him, whom the physician may authorize, or to whom the prescription is issued. Section 7. No wine can be purchased for any purpose, except by priests and ministers, of the gospel, who may buy wine for sacra mental purposes of the church; but then the minister must certify it is bought in good faith and for religious purposes. Section 8. All BtatomenU or prescription shall be recorded and indexed in a record book In the clerk of court's office, and open to publlo Inspection at all times. Tbe clerk is en titled to a fee for Descriptions of five cents and each statemdht fifteen cents; all no d oubt paid for by tbe patient. Section 9. The druggist must keep a record of every purchase of alcohol, the fote of sale, name of purchaser, name of physician giving the prescription; such record being subject to inspection at all times by tbe solicitor, sherill, peace officers, tbe mayor and polloe o* towns and all other persons. At each term of oonrt tbe druggist must make a report to the Judge, and on Monday morning of each week, file a list of alcohol sold by him, and to whom, a copy being also filed with tbe chief of polloe and mayor, a oopy of wblcb must be posted In B6me publlo place In tbe municipality. ',AOa mia llno'nn will h mnr I/Iaa of what the law should be? Ia this Ideal, Is It what you want ? Whether we want It or not we now have It, and H Ib the part of each and every good citizen to do his best to see thai the law is obeyed. Whether or not the law will be enforced depends entirely on those * who vote for the law. We have a very small bottle, just a ewe lamb, so to speak, on onr mantle and while we would like to keep it we are nevertheless willing; to part with it if so doing will subserve the good of the commonwealth. If all others are going to obey in tbls one particular so will we. Seriously, this Is law and it has been shown that the majority of people Banotlon It so it le the part of minority to fall to with good grace and help in carrying ou t the letter of the law. Let us all stand by oar reputation for a law abiding people and see that this law that we have made is obeyed. II will not stand always. "Even this stiall pass away" and we will have a new law. We have not reached the final truth yet though ww may uave ueeu uiubc lu 11 at huicd, It la to be hoped that the man who write* the next act will not be bo exaetlDg of us. We are Inclined to think that the writer of tbe present aot has a bad liver. Unprepared to Vote. ~The new method of requiring tax receipts and registration certificates of electors caught many unprepared to vote on yesterday. s Heretofore very few men have kept track of tbelr tax receipts; knowing that the duplicate receipt Is on the books of tbe treasurer, there was no necessity to save them. Iu consequence the treasurer was kept busy on Monday and Tuesday issuing certificates to those who had lost or mlsplaoed their reoelpts. Mr. William Sberard, supervisor of registration, has been beset by many to issue them duplicate registration certificates, but Mr. Sberard has uniformly refused all who have come to him. It Is estimated that fully one-third of the voters of the county were disqualified on acoount of losing the necessary papers. Hereafter the voters will be prepared ; they will not be caught In the same box twice In succession. The county will be several hundred dollars better off eaeb year by tbe enforcement of this law. When it is found that the possession of a poll-tax reoelpt is necessary before one can vote, then poll-tax receipts will be in demand, ????? ? Mother Under the Parental Roof. Mrfc. Corrie Holllngsworth Creeoh, with her husband Mr. C. A. Creech, of McCall' Marlborough County, have been in town several days In tbe home of Hon. M. E. Holllngsworth. Mr. and Mrs. Creeoh bring with them a baby daughter,- which Is as pretty as tbe mother and as handsome as the father. Mr. Creech Is a member a mercantile firm In McCall, which does a large business with tbe people of tbe town and as well as with the farmers ot the surrounding country. From Mr. McCall we learn that the town ]S an exception toother towns In Soulb Caro. Una. in that there are no negro landowners In the Incorporate limits. No negro owns a single loot of.land In all that townofapopu. iatlon of 2,tOO white people. When a man buys land in that town there Is Inserted a clause that he will never sell it to any other than a white person.* There-aWhowever, perhaps a dozen negro families In the city who i. rent houses and work for their white neigh Farming lands In Marlborough County range in price from $50 to $75 an acre.

' A Flag For The City Schools Before every door of tbe public schools of the United States Id ber Island possessions st&D^s a flag pole. At tbe beginning of tbe school day the flag Is raised In tbe presence of tbe assembled school. All tbe pnplls stand at attention with beads bare, while the stars aiid stripes float upward to tbe breeze. At,tbe end of tbe days work 'tbe flag Is brought down again In tbe presence of tbe school, To those who have never anflered from need of protection, whose lives have nevar been at stake on aooount of lax and worthless laws, and whose property has never been endangered at the hands of outlaws?to these the stars and stripes may not mean^mnoh. bat to the soldier who has fought for It, it means much. He knows what it means to him in a foreign country, he has felt tbe Influence of the power that lies behind It, be baa seen how It engenders respect in whatever oonnty It may be. So zealous arc soldiers for their flag so jealous of attention to it that tbsy will brook no inattention on the part of a foreigner when the. flag is being raised or lowered. It is tbe custom at army headquarters to raise and lower the flag each day, raisibg it in the morning (and lowering It at night time. When it Is being raised and lowered every soldier stands at attentlnn with his hat off* and woe to tbe foreigner wbo passes blm with bat oa during tbe exeroise. It is pretty custom, tnat of raising tbe flag over the publlo school building. Every school should have Its flag and the pupils hculd be taught to respect It, not only to respect it but to love It, and tbe great principles of liberty for which It stands. Tbe little ones like It, they like to see tbe flag floating over their school bouse, It en' ders in them a desire to know more about it' It begets [a spirit of patriotism and lodges this principle In the heart of the child at a time wben It will leave Its Impress on .lis entire life. A docs not cost much, ft oolleotlon or a play, would provide sufficient foods for the flag and stair. We would like to know whether or not there Is a single school In Abbeville County where a flag staff Is planted and a flag used. What school will be tbe first to Introduce It? The Die Is CastThe Supreme Court In Its wisdom saw fit to set aside the lnujunctlon against tbe Eleotlon of yesterday god tbe Election has been held. Tbe decision of the. Court was a wise one. Had tbe Court seen fit to pronounce tbe act unconstitutional or parllyuuoonstltutlonal, there would have been no end of wraDgllng on the part of the contestants In the eleotlon. As It Is, neither side can raise an objeotlon. Tbe Eleotlon has been hetd and It has been held fairly, for there Is not a single man on that list of managers who would, If he oould, do Injustice to either side. It Is to be slnoerely hoped that there will be no contesting ? any mans vote of yesterday. We all have the Inherent right to vote, and all things takeo Into consideration out) uihuh voit) in an nuuu no uuuludi . outfit ub allow the coin to He Justasit has fallen no man wishes to gain the election by a trick. It Is tbe part of all good oltliens now to join In Beelng that tbe law, aB It 1b on tbe Statute book, 1b cairled oat. It Is your duty to Inform yourself as to tbe Import of that luff, Eacb of ub Bbould read and (tudy it oaretully bo as to fix it on our minds, otherwise we will not know when tbe law Is obeyed or ditfobeiyed. - .? > Tbe people of tbe United 8tates do not exercise tbe .regard foe tbe majesty of tbe law that tbey sbould, and the fact that we have laws on our Statute books that we openly and sometimes flagrantly break, tends to anarchy. . . The disregard for law Is lnslnatlng, It stealB upon ub unawares. True It Unseen now and then id tbe acts and doings of men. but the fact that we see It teaches us no lessonIf the;Unlled Slates, as a nation, and South Carolina, as a State does not wake up. to a realization of this lnsenuatlng ?vil that is steallng;in on us and. undermining our reverence for law and order, we are going to pay the penalty sooner or later. \ ' Rest Room.

' In an article beaded "Primary Schools" Id this Issue Is a letter from Mr. E. C. Meseblne or Lowndesvllle. Mr. Meseblne says that our youths should be taught tbe general principles of morals aDd tbe principal laws or tbe the land. /n most. sohools In our State an effort Is made to Inculcate morals and a respect for law. It la well tbat It Is so. for after the sto dent leaves the common school be does cot get much more training: along thislineunless he goes to a denominational college. A boy bonld be well groaded In tbe faith of bla fathers when he leaves the parental roof, or else there Is Imminent danger of his flying oil atnotae unknown tangent and traveling in a hyperbola that never returns to Its starting place. The universities are passlDg tbrongb tbe experimental stage of a new religion. Tftere is no way of telling Jnst where t^ey will land as yet, for they have not yet folly formulated their tenets. Suffice It to say that It Is bo mnoh unlike the "good old-time religion" as to be almost unrecognizable. Mr, Meschlne la right; the children should be taugbt morals; they should be taugbt fundamental laws; they should be taugbt that their liberty depends on law and Its proper Enforcement; tbat law and liberty are Inseparable; that where there Is liberty there must be law, and where there Is law, properly enforoed, there will be found liberty. v' Red Shirts MetTbe Antrevllle Red Shirts met on last Friday tbe 13th, and elected John E.

A Taylor prealdent of tbe National dinners' aaaooiallon today leaned tbe following apeclal report on tbe cotton crop: "Reports irom about balf of our correspondents under average date of tbe 16tb, Indicate a condition ever known at tbla date. Some parta of Alabama, Mississippi, Loulslane and Arkansas sbow slight Improvement, but otbers show deterioration. M'exas shows heavy deterioration on acoount 01 severe droughts and hot winds. Scattered rains have fallen nlqoe these reports, but In most oases have come too later. "It Is the consensus of opinion that rains now will only make the plant shed more rapidly and there is little cnanoe to make a orop from the new growth on aooount of the weevil. Heavy rains In Qeorgla and the Carolines have caused a small lots In condition In that region. Oklahoma shows considerable loss In about tialf the Slate, due to hot dry weather; th'e other half about holds Its own. "Reports from the weevil district are that the damage being done now Is much less than in Jnne, but with rains tne damage will Increase. The orop will likely show further loss between now and the 25 lb, unless there are general rains of two to tbree daya In Texas." * * Msn and Shoes. (Anonymous.)
