Good Results Follow.
In opposing prohibition legislation,
especially when moral questions are
involved, some persons argue that
morality can not be legislated into
people. While this is true, yet, it is
also true that when certain temptations
and fruitful sources of demoralization
are practically removed by
the enactment of prohibitive measures,
good results always follow.
A notable example was the outlawing
of the lottery; another in
stance is the law prohibiting speculation
in cotton futures, and still another,
and later example, is the prohibition
of gambling on horse races
throughout New York and several
other states in which horse racing is
extensively practiced. To come nearer
home: Sobriety can not be legislated
into people, but, just as good results
were accomplished through the above
cited prohibitive laws, the evil of intemperance
can by legislation be
minimized and the temptation removed
to such an extent that fewer of the
bright boys of the present generation
will meet a drunkard's fate.?Edgefield
Advertiser.
The above from The Advertiser is
all too true. Edgefield is a "diy"
. /mawmfcy and we venture the assertion
' that it will always be. Remove the
temptation, and where is the young
man that will order the vile stuff from
a neighboring state? Place a prohi
bition law on our statute books and
the generation now rising up will be
living monuments of sobriety and morality.
The men who drink whiskey
now will drink less and many of the
dollars now going for whiskey will go
into the coffers of the merchants for
the necessaries of life.
Grover Cleveland, one of the greatest
men the nation has ever known,
.died at his home in Princton, N. J.,
on Wednesday last at the age of 72
years. Mr. Cleveland was twice
elected President 6f the United States
and was universally loved. He was
beyond doubt the greatest of democrats,
and was always looked to for
advice when the party's interest was
a? stake. The entire nation mourns
his death.
What is the matter with the Lexington
boys?" remarked a charming
young lady to the writer a few days
ago, "they are so horribly selfish."
Not a bit of it, dear; the young men
of Lexington appreciate the fact that
this is Leap Year and they are only
waiting for you to propose.
The Dispatch acknowledges the receipt
of a very interesting book from
?. Congressman Lever?the Congressional
Directory of the 60th Congress.
This book contains a world of information
and is a valuable addition to
our library.

the office.
DnriDg my term of office I have inspected
personally every line of railroad
in the State, often walking
cross-ties that I might be assured that
the condition of the roadbeds and
: trestles were^afe.
I have been often in every county
in South Carolina, looking "into the
conditions of the stations, and improving
the conveniences of the tra
veling public.
I have stood for lower freight and
passenger rates, better schedules, and
safer modes of travel.

me formerly has always been appre.

. a faithful performance of my duties.
I hope to have your support in the
