On reading Mrs. Mims' article in last week's paper I felt that I could not rightfully hear the name of "Mother" and not add ray word to hers in this struggle to keep the dis pensary out of our beloved town. In speaking of this question with a friend who is in favor of the re establishment of the dispensary, he brought out the argument that in Germany everybody drinks and you <an get any form of liquor at any time; the country is "wide open," so to speak. That may be true, but provided the cold, phlegmatic German, and the equally cold phlegmatic Eng lishman with their beers and ales and wines may do these things we, the tropical sons and daughters of the South land of America can not do so with impunity. Again we do not have the pure drinks that are made in those coun tries. The whiskey, brandy and even wine are adulterated. We can not get pure liquor of any kind, even when fabulous prices are paid. Does any one think that the Ger man Hans frau would place before her children the miserable, nause ous, poisonous stuff that is sold here .by our state dispensaries? No, verily, or else there would not be such sturdy robust healthy men as the Germans are. Ask a man from the Fatherland. He will tell you, "No, no drink dat viskeys, it vas poison, it vap no gook" There are families who use whis key all the time and do not consid . er it wrong. Let them send out of the state for their drinks. "The man who dances should pay the piper. " The souls of the young sons of our county should not be the price paid for his indulgence. Look at that dispensary in 2s orth Augusta. It has lowered the taxes a little I grant, but neverthe less it is a curse not alone to Aiken, but Augusta. Any time one can meet boys and men going over the bridge to the dispensary. Later what do you see?

If that evil was not there, the youth could not so easily get the liquor.I Of course there are the blind ti gers, but would they exist if the evil of intemperance was crushed out? If the better element in the com munity refused to buy from them, would they be able to keep up? If a man wants to drink let. him send oif for his liquor. Don't open a dispensary where our boys can be tempted, and where our laboring classes may spend their hard earned dollar that should go for home comforts for his fami In view of the above statement in regard to Germany and the drink evil, thc following is apropos, taken from an address by the Em peror of Germany to his naval ca dets: I will give you some advice npon a question which, in the interest of the nation, I have very much at heart, the question of alcohol and of drinking. j I know very well that pleasure in drinking is an old heritage of the Germans, but we must, by self discipline, free ourselves from that evil. 1 can assure you that in the course of my reign of 22 ?years, I have observed from experience that of the g/eat number of crimes which have been appealed to me for de cision, nine-tenths were dne to al cohol. Formerly, ;it used to be consider ed a very smart thing for a youth to carry a great quantity of alcohol, and I myself, as a young officer, had occasion to see such examples, but never imitated them. Those ideas belong to the Thirty Years' War and no longer fit oar times. Without speaking . of the results of drink, which 1 do not need to describe, I wish to call your atten tion, especially, to one effect of in temperance which touches your fu ture profession. As you will ob serve for yourselves, in the course of your service on shipboard, naval service demands a height of effort i which is hardly possible to surpass. It is necessary that you be able to enduro this continual heavy strain without exhaustion in order to be fresh for emergencies. The next war and the next naval battle will demand of you sound nerves. Nerve power will decide the victory. Now, the nerves are under mined and endangered from youth up by the use of alcohol. Later you will have opportunity | to see the target ships and the effect of modern projectiles upon yeseels, and from this you will be able to form an idea of the conditions in battle. If you are in one, you will see frightful devastation and a mul titude of things happening. Victory will lie with the nation that uses the smallest amount of alcohol. That, gentlemen, must be your po sition. Then through you the troops will be shown an example, and that goes farthest with the men. Therefore, this is what I expect from you-that here in the naval academy or on shipboard, in all comradeship and friendliness, which need not suffer in anyway thereby, you watch yourselves and each other in this regard.that you do not count the use of alcohol one of your privi leges. There a re in the navy in the course of formation or already form ed, Good Templai Lodges and Blue Cross societies. Many officers and some hundreds of men belong to them. I hope that you will do every thing which you can to persuade the men to join. I do not need to call your attention to the example of the British navy, where 20,000 officers and men already belong to these societies, to the very great benefit of the navy. This is a matter of very great im portance to our navy and to our people, alf you train the troops to renounce alcohol, I shall have sound and sane subjects. This is ia matter of great future importance, for the men when they leave the service will carry the thought back to the whole country. If you will uphold these principles, it will uplift the people morally. I pray for your co operatiDn in this work. Long Branch School. Dear Advertiser: As I see so many nice, interesting letters from pupils of different schools, I thought I would try to write a brief one from our dear old Long Branch school. Long Branch has certainly had its share of trying circumstances this winter. First, we started in to work so late and had been out of school so long that we had almost forgotten the first stepB in studying. Second, we had to change books and could not get supplied. Third and most fatal, the whole school had to stop as all had measles ex cept five. Then when we were all well we were afraid to venture out in the snows and heavy rains. How ever, we make use of these balmy spring days and will make up for lost time. I must say we have an excellent teacher. We are very much pleased with her. Perhaps many of you know her. She is Miss Mattie Lyon from Edgefield, S. C. We had a box party recently and made $28.75. We have ordered thirty feet of hyloplate black board, a dictionary and some books. We will order next a case of maps. We had a very novel experience last week. An insane colored wo man visited our school. She wan dered away from home and moped around the school house looking in at the windows, finally coming in at the door. Miss Mattie said, 'What will you have auntie?" and she said, "I come in out of the cold" and she was given a place to warm by the heater. Her husband came in a few minutes for her. We hope we will not be visited again by her. Our school and neighborhood was saddened this week by Mr. Boyd Derrick's baby's death. An other of the children is very ill. We truly sympathize with the anx ious parent?. The following is the ..honor roll: 1st grade, Thelma Clark; 3rd grade, Pansy Lei Derrick; 4th grade, Fletcher Derrick; 6th grade, Thel ma Derrick and Julia Clark; 7th grade, Myrtie Lee Clark. Worth Smiling At. Judging from the present styles, ti women really had any sense of humor, lt would be fatal They would simply alt laughing at each other. The Danger After Grip lies often in a run-down system. Weakness, nervousness, lack of ap- ] petite, energy and ambition, with disordered liver and kidneys often follow an attack of this wretched j disease. The greatest need then is Electric Bitters, the glorious tonio, blood purifier and regulator of] stomach, liver and kidneys. Thou sands have proved that they won derfully strengthen the nerves, build up the system and restore to j health and good spirits after an at tack of grip. If suffering, try them. Only 50 cents.
