For several years our Belton friends have spent a day oil' in Williamston, and they propose to con tinue so doing. I forgot to narrate one little ia? t, ?md that is that the gallant and tried Maj. T.

We noticed au editorial in the Is TKI.I.I?;KN< I I; a few weeks ago that had the right ring to it. The road ?iiicstion wus stressed and other mattcis touch ed on that ure of vital iniportaneo to -ns all. Tho whiskey question was called the question ol the hour. We trust that Anderson County voters will require aspirants for legislative honors to state deli u i tel y whero they stand on this all important question. * This sub Aect has been freely discussed in the INTELLIGENCER, Slid WO hope it will bo kept hot till election day. Although wo cannot agree with all that has been fluid by different correspondents, we like to hear an honest expression of opinion. One writer some time ago said it wns a good thing that the ladies could not vote, and graphically pic tured a candidate kissing the baby, nattering tho mother, bragging on her dinner, etc. This writer thought that a smooth-tongued man, nicely dressed, could easily carry the feminine vote, if the ladieB were allowed the privilege of expressing themselves at thohnllot box. We ditter with our friend on this quest iou, and, ul though the truo Southern woman does not want to vote, wc think the majority of them would be the lust to bo deceived in love or in war, in politics or religion. The wo men of our country, ns a whole, aro far superior to the men, according to tho idea of your humble servant. "Why is it that in heaven they neither marry nor are given in marriage?' "Give it up, do you?' "Well, that is what tho women do, ?or there won't be half .enough men to go around." Mr. Edi-1 tor, in that same editorial you advised | voters not to vote for a man just be cause he was their neighbor. My grandfather, although for years a pub lic man, never hesitated to express his opinion when occasion demanded it. When a little fellow I used to play around his store nod hear him talk. want yon to nae your influence in my behalf." "B-," said my grandfath er, in a stern voice. "I like yon as a neighbor, but cau't vote for you. I Hpas?edyour house yesterday and no ticed your barn doors down, your gates / off the hinges and things going to rack in general, I like you, but can't voto for yon, for a mun who is not capable Of managing his own affairs better than you do is not the man for public of llco.,, Pardon me, kind reader, when I say I um proud to claim such a man as my grandfather.

There are a few men in this commu nity who are so opposed to the dis pensary that they cannot lind words suilicicnt to express their hatred for it, and yet these same men have been seen slip around to the back door and with a dime clinched so tight be tween their lingers that they shake as if they had the palsy, and approach thu dispensary and exclaim as he would throw down his dime, "Von know what I want," and then with his much treasured half-pint hugged close ti? his "loving breast' lu* will proceed out the back door and there hu will drink to his heal t's content.

We are glad we have no deatli to chronicle, sorry to tell you we have no marriages, but happy to tell you that we have plenty of courting. As everybody is having something to suv about the liquor question, Mr. Editor, please allow usu small space for a few wolds. We admit that the dis pensary is the best solution ol' thc liquor problem yet tried in South Caro lina, but in principie it is wrong. If it isiight lora State to eu gage in the sale of liquor, then it is perfectly right for individuals to engage in it. If the dispensary had bei n run nil the time like it was when it was tirst started, South Carolina would have hud u law to-day that she could be proud of, but year after year, ever since it was in augttrated, the authorities have been getting tarther and further from the channel that it started in. Why is it that the dispenser no longer requires u person's signature when they purchase liquor? Why do they sell liquor to minors ami persons whom they know to be habitual drunkards! Does the law give a dispenser thc privilege to do .such? Does it permit a dispenser to run a store in connection with tho dis pensary? and if it does, does the State pay nil the rent? Is i?- true that all liquor bottled at the State Dispensary is drawn from the annie tank und nil having practicaly the same grade? Will some one who is acquainted with the fuels pieuse give us some answers to thc above questions? It is said by some that a prohibition law cannot be enforced in South Carolina, that it was tried once in Anderson County and couldn't be enforced. If a prohibition law cannot be made to wo. !;, what are wo to do? go to high license, local option or whut? We can't go buck to the old time barroom. We do not con sider that we ure capable ot forming a course to be pursued by the Stute of South Carolina that would be satisfac tory to the inhabitants thereof. The liquor traffic, like thc sturdy oak, hus grown to an enormous size, and if wc ure *<? try to stop the sale ot intoxicat ing liquor we must begin nt the root of Hie evil, stop the oinking of it. We have been requested to ask the follow ing question, und we would like for it to be answered by some one through thc columns of the INTKI.I.ICKNCKR: If a prohibition law is enacted in the Stute of South Carolina und a mun secures n license irom the United States government, eau the laws of South (.'molina prohibit him from sell ing liquor inside the State? ...... .-v r.ti.\ r.2??

A great deal of farm work has been done in the lust two weeks, and the crop prospect is not so gloomy, though our best tanners do not expect to make more than two-thirds of a crop of cot ton or corn.

Miss Dickerson is a charming lady, who has nany friends and admirers in this state, who are sorry she could not be lersuaded to occupy that "new house" md make this country her permanent ionic.

Tho sick in this community are im iroving, though very slowly. There ire now no serious cases, though sever il aro trying to shake the malaria out >f their systems. If the good women of this State were illowcd to vote, they would be sure to mt a prohibition Governor in the ?hair, it their votes could do it. They lo no believe that "prohibition will lot prohibit," as some say, but want to iee it have a fair trial. There is a law igainat stealing, yet sonic will steal in ipito of it. So it will be with the old opera if we have prohibition; they viii get whiskey somo way anyhow. Hut the temptation would be removed Tom the youth of our land, and the iext generation would see fewer Irunkards. If the good women can nu vote we are anro thoy will use all .heir influence in favor of prohibition. INCOGNITO. Belton Items. Miss Lois Hill, of Anderson, is visit ing Miss Anna La ti mer.

It is especially to bo recommended in a'l rasen where i?dorrt are preva lent, as it acts by combining with the cause of the smell, and rendering it inert, as well by its germicidal action in destroying micro organisms, and thus prevents the development of gases which give rise to foul odors. lu Itself, it baa a pleasant odor, does not simply snppiy an odor to mask offensive exhalations, but strikes at the cause and removes it. In my opinion, its employment will aid and assist the sani tarian in bis laudable endeavor to check disease, and to circomncrlbe 'ha unhealthful nxluence/ of the omnipresent microbe.

EVANS PHARMACY, Agents. THE GREATEST !.THE BEST ! The McCormick mowers and Bakes. IN 1831 McCormick was the pioneer Mower manufacturer. In 1900 they lead the world in harvesting machinery. The McCormick Mowen are Buprem? in eales over half the earth. And there is good reason. The Mc Cormick Mower has lightest draft, will start without backing. All kinds and conditions of grass-timothy, clover or -?falfa-are alike te tho McCormick. The gearing is the simplest, the pitman \1i the longest and strongest, the knife and the cutter-bar the most excellent aud true. The McCormick Mower has the only rolling tilt The McCormick has a direct draft from the team to the cutter-bar, ana the axle turns on the frame on the celebrated McCormick roller bearings. THE MCCORMICK HAT RAKE is the finest rake ever run. It rakes olean, does not roll the hay, and is everything that a man eau ask for in a hay rake. Your 10-year-old boy can operate the McCormick Bake. It is the strongest built, nicest built rake on tho market. The wheels are good and strong, and will stand all the bard knocks. You can set the McCormick Rake so that on land where there is old stubble or trath it will leave the stubble and rake the hay.
