THE LEDGER, mj Tliurlow S. Carter, EDITOR AND MANAGER. RE WEDNESDAY, 8EIT. 7, 1898. g.j r:*_ y "Deliver us from Evil." Every christian man daily utters this prayer in secret t< his heavenly father. There is nothing sel. fish in the Lord's prayer. The pronoun I does not appear in it. ^ It is a prayer for the whole brotherhood of christians. "De- ^ liver us from evil"?evil things. Whiskey is an evil?a monster evil. Are you sincere in the ^ prayer you say when you vote ^ for its sale? The world has no ^ confidence in your profession. It laughs at you behind your back, ^ however much it may commend, you in your prosence. Verily, you are a stumbling block. Lancastes county is the ban- J ner prohibition county. It is the only county in the State which ^ gave Featherstone a majority over ^ all six of his competitors for Governor. Many counties gave him a nlnrnlitv nv?r motif nf hia competitors but Lancaster was I the only county to give him a J clear majority over all. We feel I proud of this. It speaks well for Lancaster county and christian, ^ law-abiding people in other sec. tions of the State will certainly note this fact and say, well dona 1 Lancaster. The second primary J comes off next Tuesday. We hope Lancaster will then give the prohibition candidate a majority to be proud of indeed. ^ S C it G Takes Charge. A Blacksburg special of Thursday to the Columbia State says: 4'General Manager Sands, Gen- ] eral Superintendent W S Jones and Traffic Manager Emerson, of the South Carolina and Georgia , railroad, are here this morning to take formal possession of the offices and shops of the Ohio River and Charleston railroad. For the present, at least, there will he no changes made among the officers and men who have been operating 1 the Ohio River nnd Charleston road.

We have entered the mercantile arena and now throw down the gannt'et of LOW PRICES at th 1 feet of our competitors and defy them to match us. We are of the fieople and for the people first, las and all the time. UNDER SELL. UNDER BUY, will l>e our motto. The high priced concerns will b stamped out of existence. We will wage a reledtless war against all hitrh prices. Our aim is to benefi ' sot *nrmer8 Lancaster and adjoining counties. They are the backl>one and sinew of the lund and whei mey are oppressed the whole country suffers. They are our friends. We will look to their iniorest ,491 anrl act as a safety valve against the oppression of high prices. When this Stock Company was about to l>e formed we had application upon application for te ,240 times the amount of its Stock from parties that we did not want. We of course were very much flat ,596 tered at the confidence shown in our honesty nnd business ability, but had to refuse to issue the stock t ^ them. The farmers are our friends and they are the ones to whom we will issue the stock. They ar the ones we look to for support. "In unity there is strength." 357 On AUGUST 18th we will throw the immense Stock of Fitzpatrick & Bro., and H. J. Gregory ^ ' Co., also the Gregory-Heath Banking and Mercantile (k>. at Kershaw, S.
