J; I,. MIMS. - - - EDITOR . ._ ?TERMS: ONE YEAR $150 ' SIX MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 190B. Do not think of knocking ont another person's brains because be differs in opinion from you* It would be as rational to knock yourself on the head because .yon differ from yourself ten years ago.-HORACE MANN. A retraction is in order from ih?se jwho said the dispensary in vestigating committee wou'd not accomplish anything. As state and national stenches, the South Carolina dispensary and the Chicago slaughter peDs should be awaided first prizes. Doubtless the members of the former board of dispensary di rectors aro scratching their heads and thinking "the d- ! is to pay." If "Uncle Sam" desires to lay bare the vitals of the "bloated beef barons." let bim employ Mes srs. Lyon and Christenzeu of South Carolina. Hub Evaus et al can supply him with testimonials as to the penetrating quality of their searchlight. If one is to judge by the sigus of the times, a re-united De mocracy will with perfect harmo ny and accord nominate the Hon. William Jennings Bryan for the presidency in 1906 Several Demo cratic state conventions have re cently endorsed bim in tho high est terms. The act of congress pro hibiting corporations from con tributing to campaign funds, to gether wiLh the startling revela tions made by investigations of trusts and corporations, may make a Democratic victory possible. The western packers claim that they make soap grease of the cows and hog* that die in the pens of disease, instead of utilizing them for canning purposes. May be that is why some soap is so high ly perfumed, to conceal other odors not . so pleasant to the olfactory nerves. Would it not: bo bestand safest anyway to return to the old home-made, lye soap of our grandmothers? It v. as guar anteed to remove dirt an ireh thick without any harmful effects. The editor of this newspaper has been a friend to the dispensa ry system since its institution, and we stood for it at times and under conditions when it took nerve. But we have had enough. We care not what other method is tried, but we will not vote for any man who is in favor of the dis pensary as it is managed at pres ent.-Bamberg Herald. This is a manly and honest con fession from Brother Knight; v There ara thousands like him who : .v?t^first believed in the dispensary system, but "have had enough." Returned missionaries, as well as those who travel in China, say the Chinese are-the keenest witted people on earth. Recently Joe Tong Lee, a young Chinaman who came to America to educate him self, won second prize in au oratorical contest at the com mencement exercises of the New York university. His subject waB "The Exclusion of the Chinese." One very strong point that be made, among many others, was that this country admits people from the slums of Europe without question, while our doors are closed to practically all of the Chinese. Ever and anon something transpires to strengthen the cause of prohibition. Following closely upon the adoption of more strin gent rules by the express compa nies, as to the deliveries of liquor, has come the decision of Judge Brawley, of the United States court, to the effect tbrt liquor dru Jimers must pav a license just ks retailers of liquor. We have been informed that one or two per sons in Edgefield receive and for ward orders for liquor. According ' to this decision they are violating the United States law unless they have a liquor license. One of the great army of com mencement orators that are abroad in the land is quoted as saying that ."character comes up into a man from the plowed ? ground through his bare feet." This, of cjurs-*, is not literally 1 true, yet it cannot be deni jd that 1 nowhere can there be found a ! more favorable environment for character building than on the ( farms, away from the corrupting j influences of towns and cities. Go where you will, the sturdiest, r stanchest men to be found, men * ; 7 } who are leaders in their respect ive spheres, are those who were reared upon farms. Happy should be the man who is the father of A one or more bright, manly boys, ^ boys full of- possibilities and c promise, but happier still should ^ be tho father who bas the sons, " and a farm on which torear them. As i? Prohibition in Edg?fio??. In bis-?etter of June the 9th. to the News and Courier, Mr. S. McG. Sinikius, the Edgafield cor respondent, does our town and county a manifest iujustice b\ heraldiug to the world the state ment that prohibition is a failure in Edgffield. Ic writing of the call, issued by the nine minister? of the county, fur the meeting which was held in the court house on Monday, ho says: "Not cul y the action in issuing the call, but the call iUelf, is a confession, that the prohibition law siuce its adbptiou in Edgefield, has been a failure." To say that the call, for the meeting in question, is au ad mission that prohibition is a fail ure in Edgefield, has no founda tion iu fact. When buildings were being re peatedly burned in our town three years ago. and the citizens became aroused, appointed nightwatch meu, employed detectives, appre hended and convicted the guilty pa'ty, was that an admission thal the law against iucendiarism was a failure? No, not at all. So it ie with prohibition. The law is being enforced, and simply because meu, who are concerned about the well being of the present and corning generations, organize for a more thorough enforcement of law, should that be construed as an admission that prohibition is a failure ? No, not at all. Prohibition is uut a failure in Edgefield, all statements to the cootrnr}' notwithstanding. Cn.iv; servativelv estimated, it baa re duced whiskey selling and drink ing 80 per cent-some say 90 per cent. Is this noe practical prohi bition? Are not other laws, laws not as difficu't of enforcement, violated to that extent, and be sause they are violated are they considered failures? Certainly not. Then, in the name of common sense, why place the prohibition law in a separate class and call it A failure? If a darkey buys a drink-of liquor from a blind tiger, and later in the night steals a cb icken from a fowl house, which is not infrequently done, are the Jaws prohibiting stea'ing aud selling liquor failures, ?ud bhculd they be repealed because they are violated? If so, the law against btealiug should be abolished as well as the prohibition law. We have practical prohibition in Edgefield. Absolute prohibition is not claimed. Were all laws en forced absolutely, never violated, the jails and court houses and awyers would be put out of busi ness iu short order. However, as public sentiment is cultivated and created, absolute prohibition will be more and more nearly ap proached. . Fall-in. line, with those"who.are working to. that end.. COLD SPRING. Early yesterday morning (Sun day) the people began to gather at Rehoboth in great crowds. By eleven o'clock there were SOO or 1000 It was children's day. There was a beautiful program arranged and it was carried out as arranged. AU the children who took part did themselves aud the community great credit. The singing was very g>od indeed. The dinner was in abundance and of the very best quality. All had plenty and to spare. The church was beautifully decorated with pot ^flowers. In the afternoon we wish we could men tion the name3 of all who took part on this occasion. ' We will mention only one name, sweet little Ethel Strom daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Strom, only about seven years of age. She Hang a beautiful solo, before a great crowd, sang so sweetly all our hearts were filled with joy as the sweet little girl stood before us and saug the praises of God. In the afternoon Dr. Bristow one of the editors of the Baptist PreBS preached a very strong ser .non to a large and appreciative congregation. After the sermon the people began to go to their homes feeling that it was good to have been at Rehoboth on chil dren's day. A great many uic? things wabeaid of the good people of Rehoboth and they deserve it all and more. There were many visitors at Rehoboth on children's day, we will not attempt to mention them for fear we will omit some oue. The grass is now growing and the farmers are all hard at work trying to keep from making hay Mastei J. T. Jr., of Rose Cot tage bas been Buffering for some days with a carbuncle on bis leg Mr. L. F.
