?&efield Advertiser J. ?i. MIMS. - - - EDITOR TERMS: ONE* YEAR $150 SIXMONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, JULY 26,1905. WHICH? Prohibition stands pre-emi nently for piety, purity, probi ty, peace, plenty, prosperity. . Dispensary stands decidedly for deviltry, debauchery, dissi pation, degradation, drunken ness, damnation. Which do you stand for ? Let conscience answer. " if tte men of this county will vote out the dispensary X's they " ill-have m?re-V^wirn v^itrbHro> pay off'old mortgages on" their homes, to purchase necessities and luxuries for their families, and with which to educate their* chil dren. Rev. CbarleB Creighton, editor of theChrietian Appeal, a religious journal published at Greenwood, strongly endorses Cole L. Blease, of Newberry, for gov?uor in 1906. We have often heard that Mr. Creighton was a genius, but errat ic; now we have abundant "ocular demonstration" of that fact. With the ice-te? season at its height it would be .useless to sug gest a boycott on Chinese tea. However, America could some what even-up with Chiua in the boycotting business by inducing "Santa Claue not to purchase any firecrackers, _ etc. Millions of American dollars aie annually burned up by Chinese fireworks. The greatest ccmpHmeiit to the morals of the people of this com munity that has been bestowed, during the years over which our memory sweeps, is tho voluntary withdrawal of the bucket-shop from Edgefield. It seems to have been frozen out with the ther mometer ranging in the nineties. The bait is no longer tempting to . the people of Edgefield, so a new field, where a greater num ber of "suckers" abound, had to . be sought. But this Btaten?ent is a hard blow to N Anderson-the icity to which the* ?hop will be ;rempyed. -%"^ncle'; Sam should offer a . bil lion dollars reward for the dis covery of a virus with which to inoculate his subjects to render them immune to "graft", a seem ingly "infectious disease that originated in Wall Street .but has in recent years become almost universally prevalent. It has manifestad itself in both private and corporate interests, in county, state and national affairs. Green ville county is now suffering from a very malignant type of "graft" that has been gnawing at the vitals of the county's finances for ee ve ral years, and, as for the South Carolina dispensary, it ?eems to be a veritable hot-bed for "graft" germs. . A Model Investigator. If we were assured thatthe_ne?fi legieteturewojij^^ Avory Pat?o^--oT Greenville, to reign over the dispensary officials with carte blanche instructions, placing a "big stick" in one hand and a cat-o-nine-tails in the other, we would-feel more inclined to await the convening, of the legislature before taking final action on the dispensary in this county. Had . ?vory Patton been on that inves tigation committee something would have "happened" before now. Some individuals would doubtless be quaking in the knees, whereas now they are laughing in their sleeves. Thorough and Frequent Examina tion Needed. We fail to understand how the wholesale stealing that ?R being unearthed in the supervisor's office of Greenville county existed "?o long and assumed such enor mous proportions before it was detected. The taxpayers must have all indulged in a Rip Van -Winkle sleep, only to wake to find that they had ?been buncoed out of thousands upon thousands of dollars by men whom they trusted implicitly. This - theft plainly shows the lack of frequent and thorough investigations. Too often it is the case that examina tions into records of county offi cials, by special committees of grand juries, are superficial and perfunctory. A hurried, careless, desultory examination is worsa than none at all, for if an official be dis honest such an examination allays his fears of being detected and makes him bolder, conducting his theft upon a large scale in future. Viewed at a distance, this appears ip have been the case in Greenville. - : : i Vote Out The Dispensary And We ? Have Prohibition. * Seme ?re m is iu formed as to the la;v bearirjg upon the sale of whis key io South. Carolina, being under the impression that wheo the dispensary is voted out in this couuty, that thereupon im mediately steps will be taken to establish "local ophion and high license" in the towns. ThiB could not be done even were a majority of the people to favor it, which we do not believe is the case. The very, moment that the dis pensary in the town of Edgefield is closed we will have prohibition throughout the county, and no whiskey can in future be sold in any form unless the legislature should provide for its sale. Then the law would bavo to apply not alone to Edgi field but to every other county in- the state. Even the legislature can not re-es'.ab i^Mhejiid^iar^rrOom" system for the constitution of 1895 prohibits that. We are anxious to make this plain so that the uninformed may not be deceived br persons who know belter but who are say ing: kThey just want to vote out the dispensary so they can estab lish open bar-rooms 011 the high license plan." Should Consume -Less Jute and More Cotton. The very marked advance in the price of jute bagging will cause southern farmers to think more seriously of using colton baggius instead. It is di?icult to understand why the southern peo ple are so slow to adopt cot tun covering for certain commodities that are produced and marketed in the south. Whenever totlon goods have boen used tor such purposes they have proved tc be very satisfactory. Recently the Charleston bag factory filled a large order fer cotton oiigs from a wet-tern mill. A few day3 ago a merchant of the same city re ceived a consignment of three cars of grist, 1500 sacks, from this mill and tho grist was ship ped in the identical cottou bags that were made in Charleston. Millions of pounds uf cotton goods could be annually con sumed were coffee, sugar, grist, salt, onions, potatoes, corn, oats aud cotton marketed in cotton goods instead of jute. In the making of coarse, heavy cloth of the character that would be need ed-for this purpose, the loweef grade of . stains and "dog tail'r:. cor*0?icc^ld''b;9 uaedy.~ Not only ; do the farmers ' use jute bags and sheets for picking the cotton but Iney cover the bales with jute and the manufac turer wraps tLe bales of cotton goods in the same material. We wonder if the jute producers across the water are half so assid uous in their effort to consume cotton goods as are the cotton producers in comsuming jute. Now that boycotting is the order of the day-the Chinese boycott having gone into effect-is it not about time for the southern peo ple to boycott jute ? An Attempt Will Be Made to Revive Old Prejudice. ? DEAR MR. EDiroRj_.,A3reffort is being m?.de ^J^-^f??ose who favor the djsjpelQS?ries to have the ques t^n-'agi tated by the pol i tic i a and they say for the "Educati of the people." God knows we know enough, though, perhaps, the half has not been told. Such agitation will accomplish no good, but, on the contrary, stir up strife and arouse old predjudice.s. Those are the tactics of those* who desire to hold the dispensaries. They are going to do every thing possi ble to delay a voto ou thelsubjecf.. It seems to me it would be far better for the people to vote on the subject as early as possible .and then stand by the result. If this grand old county wants to continue the sale of whiskey iu the way it is being doue I cheer fully yield to the will of the ma jority. If on the other haud, she votes a majority to dispenso witb the dispensary I for one will never-submit to the' lash of the politicians. 0. H. F. Meeting Street, S. C. Tribute of Love.

There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it - heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al lowed to advance the kidney-poisbned blood will attack the vital organs or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement of thc kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys, if you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Sv/amp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the met distressing cases. Sv/amp-Root is pleasant to take and sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sized bottles.
