THE LEXINGTOH DISPATCH. T Wednesday, June 14,1905. At Some and Abroad. When the county of Cherokee voted out the dispensary there was blowing of trumpets and waving of flags. / Many prohibitionists and all the i ^ f blind tiger men joined hands one with the other and shouted themselves hoarse over the dawn of a new era when drug store bar rooms would spring up and flourish as the green bay tree in fertile ground and wax in strength as the days multiplied. Thoughtful men locked upon the sit nation with grave apprehension, but found seme little consolation in the town of Gaffney that there was then at that time not a drop of the accursed stuff sold.'as a beverage in the assurance of ^prominent official of the towsand ooarjty and that the officials of both would use their best endeavors to present its sale forevermore, world without end. The newspapers of the county heralded the glad news that King Alcohol had been dethroned and the white banner of Prohibition floated proudly over the strongholds of vice- and immorality, and over the walls of drunkenness and debauchery. The guard houses bad been turned into playgrounds for Innocent young childhood to gambol aindlaugh beneath the rainbow 'of pleasured wing;? The jail, no lnntrflr & "duress vile" for the con finement of criminals and violators of the laws of morality, of society and of decency, had become to be an enchanted palace were mirth and happiness and joyonsness ruled the hour. Many a poorjgrief stricken mother's heart throughout Carolina's soil, throbbed with joy and happiness,? and hourly from the secret closet of her heart ascended anthems of praises to a throne of grace that in one eonnty in Sonth Carolina, at least, the mothers in it conld lay their heads on their pillows and sweetly sleep without being disturbed by the harassing thought of "where is my wandering boy to night," because, confident on the assurance of published reports that the dens of infamy had been closed, she knew that her boy was safe from "the tempter's snare," in his cosy little room which mother's tender hands, her great loving heart and her watchful care had made bright and cheerful and sun shiny t to contribute to his happiness and comfort and pteasnre, and what mother's love could accomplish turn home iinto a Garden of Paradise where bright hoed flowers perpetelly blooms and the altars of God, where the insense ascends to the throne on high, brightly and yet still more brightly barns unto the "perfect day." We were led to believe that the poor, tired bleeding heart of the father had found the cooling, healing balm gushing up from the springs of refreshing thought that the waywardness of those] he loved, those who bad strayed from the pleasant paths |of sobriety into the desolate wild woods of inebriety, had ceased and their feet, instead of treading the hroad road to - the grog shop now turn to the paceful paths and shady groves of home. We imigined that the languishing hopes of the sister and anticipations of friends bad been revived. Let us stop! The picture has changed! All our hopes have been blasted and have turned to Adam's apple. Jamaica ginger, malt, and perhaps other sub8titues for whiskey, are sold from drug stores as a beverage. The yoang men, instead of going to the dispensary now patronizes the drug stores of Gaffaey. A concern of which the Mayor pro tem of Gaffaey is & prominent and leading member, has been fined for selling booze. Another drug concern has been fined for the same cffence. Still another one got off by the skin of the teeth. We stand for absolute prohibition, that is that intoxicating liquors for any purpsoe whatever is a crime, or a return to the dispensary law as originally enacted. Captain Henry Barre, who graduated from Clemson at last commencement, is taking a well earned rest at the home of bis parents in this place before engaging in active business.

The indications all point to the largest hog and hominy crop ever raised in this county being, harvested this year. Lexington people are great believers in bread and meat and plenty of "those" at that. Some time ago the Columbia Water Power Company raised the Broad River dam about two feet higher, thus overflowing considerable lands on the Lexington side of the river. Some of the owners affected have applied to the court for a jury to assess the damages and value. The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths.

Some years ago, when the banner of McLaurin was apparently trailing in the dust, the Dispatch said, and repeats the assertion with emphasis now, that history would yet write his name high up on the scroll of fame among those of South Carolina's honored sons. Keeping Busy. The surge of the wind in the frozen street Is strong as the tide of the sea; The sharp, steely points of the icy sleet Are piercing as piercing can be. I gather my strength and my courage thin And tackle a Job that I hate like sin. The storm king has swept, in his anger bold. The snows of a thousand long years. Has buried my sidewalk in crystals cold, Has heaped 'em clear up to my ears. -r-r . , .. . .1 X- 1V1.. j-ias Gruiea ana neapea xnein uummy high. The man who must clear 'em away is I. No tramp heaves in sight to be bribed to work. No urchin appeals for the job; My neighbors, I'm sure, would not let me shirk; They simply would call me a slob If I should allow any snow to stay, And so I must shovel it all away. As fast as I clear off the confounded stuff The blizzard just slips in behind And banks up the rear with snowdrifts enough To drive a man out of his mind. I'd rather reside in a flat with its woes Than live in a house of my own?when it snows. Wanted a Steady Job. "Do you tliink the doctor can cure her?" "He may help her, but he has too good a business bead to completely cure a lady with as much money as she has." Just What Everybody Should Do. Mr. J. T. Barber of Irwinville, Ga., always keeps a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy at' hand ready for instant use. Attacks of cholic, cholefahnbbits a'hd diarrhoea come 011 so suddenly. that there is 110 time to hunt<a doctor or go to the store for medicine, 'Mr. Barber says: 4'I have tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy which is one of the best medicines I ever saw. I keep a bottle of it in my room as I have had several attacks of colic and it lias proved to be the best medicine I ever used." Sold by the Kaufmann Drug Co. A Business Mead, xm*.

"She contradicted him twice." ETIQUETTE. ? A gentleman always rises.from his chair when a lady enters or leaves the room. On a man's visiting card only titles that indicate a rank or profession for life should be used. At a ball one may not refuse a certain dance to one gentleman and tben dance it with another. A letter to a married woman is directed with her husband's name or initials and her own?as, Mrs. Thomas R. Gibbs or Mrs. T. R. Gibbs. To be polite to one we dislike is not necessarily being insincere. Politeness Is not so much a manifestation toward others as an indication of what we are ourselves. We owe it to ourselves to be well bred. On formal occasions no napkin rings appear on the table and the napkin is used but the once. At the home dinner the napkin, if not too soiled, should be placed in the ring to be used again at breakfast or luncheon. No Secret About It. It is 110 secret that for cuts, burns, ulcers, fever sores, sore eyes, boils, etc., nothing is so effective as Bucklen's Arnica Salve. "It didn't take long to cnre a bad sore I had, and it is all O. K. for sore eyes,'* writes D. L. Gregory, of Hope. Texas. 25c. at The Kaufmann Drug Go's., drug store. A Leap Year Proposal, There was a young girl cf Montana Who gave a young man a Havana.
