According to the Sumter Item 1 <
that county is as strongly in favor . j
of abolishing the State farms and 1
employing the convicts on the pub- i
lie roads as Richland is. It says: 1
"The candidates for the legisla^ 1
ture all favor the sale of the State i
farms and the immediate with' |
drawal of the State from active I
competition with the farmers. ]
They aUo favor the improvement <
of the public roads by the use of ]
convict labor." The Item reaches
this conclusion: "The State farms i
may be fine farms, finer even than 1
haw been claimed by those whojj
believe in fa'ming by the State, i
but the State has no riirht to en- i
o - - - j
gage in business in competition
with its citizens and the people
are now fully awake on the matter.
The farms may not be sold
this year, nor next year, but they .
will surely be sold in the near
future."?The State.

Happenings at Lenoir.
Editor Ledger:?I would like
to give you a few dots from the
little breezy Lenoir. I am proud
to say that my health is improvin/*

weeks. I have gained-two pounds
the last few days. It has been
right warm during the day, but
the nights are cool. There has
not been a night this summer but
what I have slept under cover.
The good people of Lenoir are
making considerable preparations
for the Sunday School chautauqua
which is to meet Sunday August
the 14th, to 19th.
Lenoir is a live little town of
about 1,500 inhabitants, with 4
churches and a fine college. The'
2[ood peoplo as well as the bad of
the Old North State hare been
considerably excited over politics
his season and the Democracy of
Jald well count y turned out last
Tuesday in r*rpHt nnmKurs I
J O w
lend the grand rally. Early in
the morning people began to ar<rive
and by ten o'clock a crowd '
rati mated at about 4,000 had
gathered in town. All parts of
the county was well represented,
ind decorated Marshals and fair
ladies were riding hither and
thither with lovely flags and banners
of red, white and blue. The
procession consisted of over five
hundred persons on horse back,
led in parade by a handsomely
decorated band wagon drawn by
four tine white horses, in which
was the Lenoir Cornet band, and
some few distinguished speakers
After the parade, which was an
inspiring scene, the crowd gathered
in the college grove where
Hons. F S Spruill and B F Long,
made forcible and eloquent Democratic
speeches. The day was
perfect and the crowd all good
humored, nothing occurring to
mar the occasion and not a single
arrest was made. Our heroic
Capt. Johnson, tho ideal chief
Marshal, and all his assistants.did
their duty well and everything
moved on in tine shape. Every^
body that was present seemed to
enjoy the occasion except a few
Populist and Republicans. On
Thursday everybody turned out
to the polls that was allowed to
vote with the gloriou? result that
the Old North State has gone
Democratic 50,000 majority for
white supremacy. Three cheers
for North Carolina. 1 W M j
Lenoir, N C, Aug 7.
A Palpable Inconsistency.
If prohibition means "free
liquor," why is it that liouor
drinkers are so violently opposed
to prohibition? One would think
thnt free liquor whs just the thing
they want.
If one will observe, he will see
that the fellows who go trooping
to the dispensary in droves day j
after day and those who hang
iround it for hours at a time as if
to get the very fumes of the stuff, '
ire the very ones who will go to J
... * i ti ? i
^mii|iuigu mediums unci yell 1011(1- j
jst for the dispensary and hold
lp their hands the highest when
the hand primary is called for.
There in a very palpable inconsistency
here. What is it f i
rhese fellows do not really be- I
ieve that liquor would be more
ibundant under prohibition ; and
ve suspect that many of the poliicians
who tell them so do not
>elieve it either. But it is politics,
and politic too, to say so.
If Senator Tillman were to pro luim
tomorrow his belief in prolibition,
why a large majority of
he politicians running for office
?ould nearly break their necks in
heir haste to get on that si<le.?

South Carolina in Ephesus ?
"And the same time there arose no
small stir about that way. For a certain
man name I Demeirioua, a silver
smith, which made siiver shrines for
Diana brought no small guin unto the
craftsmen; whom he called together
with the workmen of like occupation.

craft we have our Wealth.
Moreover, ye see ami hear tba? not
alone at Kphesua, hut aim ?t throughout
nil Asia, tlila Paul hath perxuaded
anil turned away much people eaying 1
thai they he no koiIh which are made j
with hands H that not only thin our ;
craft is in danger to be net at naught,
but also that the temple of the great
goddess Diana should he d- spfsed.and
her magnificence should he destroyed, ,
whom all Aula, and the world won
shippeth. And when they heard these
aiMinga, they were full of wrath, and ;
cried out, Haying Great ia Diana of the '
Epheslans, And the whole city was
tilled with confusion: Home Dietefore
cried oub thing, and Home another for I
the assembly van confused and the,
more part knew not wherefore ?hev i
were come together," Acts 19:2tt, 27, |
28, ^9, 32.
Men, ' brethren and fellow citi-1
zens, when I hear such an uproar
and so much fuss and contention, ,
by Hen Tillman and his colleagues, 1
for the protection of his dispensary
cod, I find myself, askinir
WW' ^ ' ?
the question, where am I ? am I
among christians, o** among
heathen idolaters, like the Ephesiuns
were when Paul was trying
to persuade them to the christian (
faith ? And when I test the
problem by tho infallible standard
of truth, 1 find that we have
laws upon our statute books that
are in conflict with the law of
God. Fellew citizens, these things
ought not to be. To think of a
people, for instance South Caro~
linians. nrnfns?inir 1m (-(iriutiont
, , f,
and at the Hamctimo, holding, and
forcing, the bottle to their brothera'
mouth*, and putting evil men,
mich a* Demetrioua, for instance
Hen Tillman, in high places. Hen
Tillman, reminds me of u certain
Elymas, a sorcerer, a false prophet.
whom Haul met at Oapbos. I
1 don't know which is the j
meanest.
Let ua read what God done for
Elymas: '
Elymas the soicerer, who with- '
stocd them, seeking to turn awav the ;
deputy from the taith. Then Saul,
who also is called Paul, tilled witli the
Holy Olio-nt, Ket his eyes on him and
said, C> fiul of subtlety, ai d all mia 1
chief, thou child of the devil, thou j
enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou I
not cease to pervert the right ways of
the Lord ? And now. behold, the hand
of the Lord is upon :hee, and thou
shalt he blind, not seeing the sun for 1
a aeaaon And immediately tin re fell
on him a mlat, a darkness; and he
went about teeking some o- e to lewd i
him by the band.'* Act#, 13:H. 9 10,11.
( auppoae GikI blinded bun for an
example ) "He that wishes an uiiK?
diy man god a peed, become* par
taker of h*8 evil deed."
Drunkard, what made you f
"The dispensary made mo." Dis|>enHary,
what made you ? "The
law, made me." Law, who
made you ( "The legislator
made me." legislator, who
made you i "The ballots in the
hands of the churchman made
me." Churchman, did you cast
a ballot for the man that made
the law that made the dispensary
that made the drunkard ? 4'Well,
I always stick to my party."
That is not the question i asked
you sir. Did you vote for the
man that voted for the law that
made the Dispensary that made
the drunkard ? ,4Yes. He represented
my party, and I never
scratch ths ticKet." Take this
picture, my fellow citizens; here
is a chain with the following links:
A drunkard, a dispensary, a law,
a legislator and a voter?five links.
Do you see it? I jet us go to the
last link. Poor drunkard, where
are you going ? <4To hell." How
do know i 44Tho old Book says,
4No drunkard shall enter the
kingdom of heaven' " I go to
the top of the chain, churchman,
where are you going ? 44I am
going to heaven." How do you
know ? "About ten years ago
the Ix>rd took my feet out of the
mire and clay and placed them
ii|)on the Rock, and put a new
song in my mouth." You miserable
hypocrite ! I have a contempt
for such twaddle. F^et every man
hear this statement. If the lower
! '
link goes to hell and the upper
does not, if the poor drunkard
goes to hell and churchmen, who
voted for the dispensary that
made him, don't go with him, (
then the drunkard can stand on
the hlackncrested waves of damnation
and cry, "Unjust, unjust,
unjust," until he will tear down
tho pillars of heaven.
Follow citizens of South Caro~
lina, let me beg you, as one that
loves you, to vote at the next elec
tion, for God and home and native
land, that it may he well with you
and your children forever. The
poor drunkards want the temptation
put out of their way, and the
poor naked and starving wives
and children of the drunkards,
want you to holp them. O won't
you do it i You can, if you will,
and save many and your own soul,
by so itoing, for "Blessed are the
merciful, for they shall obtain
merey," but, "Woe unto him by
whom the offense cometh." The
laws of the Bible must bo the laws
of the land. All citizens must
make God their trust, His love
their inspiration, His laws their
standard, His Son their Redeemer,
His grace their strength, or His
heaven will not bo their eternal
home. P H T.

Some Strung* Bedfellows. >
The Hon. Buoky Patterson,
Senator Tillman and The Columbia
State continue to lambast
Got McSweeney because the dispensary
law in Charleston is not
enforced, notwithstanding the
fact thut neither can point to a
time since the dis|>ensary law went
into operation when it was in
force in Charleston.
This is ft queer combination,
but to use Tillmanesque logic,
since each is trying to convince
the people that Goveronr Mc
Sweeney has not done his duty in
Charleston it follows that they
have entered an unholy, or holy,
alliance.
It is worthy of note that Col.
lloyt has never used this argu^
ment against the election of Mc
Sweeney. Col Hoyt is above all
a fair man and while he thinks,
and we acrree with him. tlmt. h*
could enforce the law better than j
McSweeney he is not urging the j
non-enforcement of the law in
Charleston against the Governor
for the reason that the fairness of
the man forces him to recognize
tho fact that with all of his failures
and short comings, Gov McSweeney
has given a better en
forcement of the law throughout
the State than any of his predecessors.
