Local News WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1905. Election Asked for on Hie Dispensary Question. Petitions fare now being circulated in different parts of the county asking the Supervisoi to order an election for tbe 2nd ol Auront on tin* question of voting out the dispensary, The law provided that one-fourth of the quali fied electors of the county must sign the petition before un election can be ordei id. Tin* movement lias been quietly agi tated Im pome time, hut it was not made public until tin- latter part of Ihm week. Kev. W. W. Leathern, who is a well known Ihiptist lyinistcr, is at I lie head of ffie movement. Petitions have heen plueed in the hands ol min- | istern ami others who advoente the cause I I prohibition, und as soon as the requisite number of qualifi'Ml elee toirf sign them an organization will be formed to bring together the pro hibition forces and condui t an active ami aggressive campaign. rlucournged by the voting out of the dispensary in Pickens County, the growing pentiiueut over the State in favor of prohibition ami the large ma jorities always recorded in this county against the sale of whiskey under any system, the leaders in the present movement are confident of an < asy victory. Southern Mill Men Will Meet Poosc veil. Capt. Ellison A. Smyth, president of the Polzer Manufacturing Company, and vice president of the American Asiatic Asuociation, w ith members of the association und leading Southern inanufacturerH, will iiave a conference with President Roosevelt in Washing ton on Friday to urge action on tho re ported boycott hy Cliina against Amer ican goods. The American-Asiatic Association in composed of exporters and mill representatives in the export trade. It has a branch in Shanghai and controls a big share of the foreign trade. The report that China here after may refuse to admit American goods because of tho Chinese exclusion aet, which prevents Chinese merchants anil students from entering this coun try, has caused considerable apprehen sion in the South, which ships so much, of the product to tho empire. This' contemplated movement on tho part of the Celestials is meant as a retali ation, Wu Ting Pang being one of tho leaders, according to common news paper reports. At the conference Friday tho Presi dent will lie requested to use his friendly offices to avert tliis expected boycott. It in claimed that the only way out of the solution is in the repeal of the exclusion act, and the South is advocating that step. ? Greenville News. ? ? ? ? - ? Au Entertainment at Tokcena. Mr. Editor; On the morning of May 37th our young folks were made glad to see the sun rise bright and clear, after raining all of t hat week, and at an early hour the boys and ?iris began to gather at the school house with great bunches of flowers to decorate tor the entertainment to bo given that night. Wo had been practicing for tins about six weeks. The proceeds are to be used in making improvements on Cross Roads RaptiBi Church at this place. Hoys and girls never worked more faithful for a good cause. Every thing went along smoothly from the beginning, and they certainly deserve credit for t heir perseverauce. Miss Mattio Cleveland, especially, should be praised for being so untiring in her efforts for this good cause. After working hard all day tbe stage pre sented quite a pretty appearance. We felt much encouraged when long before the appointed bour crowds be fau to come from every direction, 'here were so many we couldn't seat them all. The program consisted of recitations, songs, dialogues, tableaus and music, tbe latter being furnished by Messrs. Cray ton and Thornton, and Misses Emma and Luna Moore, of Westmin ster, which was very ninch enjoyed by all. The neat little sum of $16 was realized. We feel so grateful to God, the giver of all good and perfect gifts, and we felt that He was smiling down on us and approved of our labors and has crowned them with success. Daisy Phillips. Card of Thanks.

East week having passed without any rain, our farmers are about to over come tho grass and are about to get their crops in a growing condition. The furmers are beginning: to har vest what otherwise might have been a good wheat crop, but owing to the ravages of the fly in the early spring, and the unfavorable weather condi tions during May, it is comparatively short, but don't, doubt our furmris, for they are not men easily discouraged. A short wheat crop, therefore, will not keep them from trying again. Al though the wheat crop is very short the oat crop bids fair to be a good one, and there is plenty of them sown, too. The cotton is growing nicely and corn iu this section is just line?Mr. Editor, you ought to come up this way and let some of our farmers show you how to raise corn. Gardens, oh! yes, we haye them, nod they are line. And chick ens, pshaw! don't talk chickens, they are so plentiful, and corn is plentiful to feed them with. Mrs. Mary Kenne nioro has three hundred and fifty chicks hatched oft*. Don't it make your mouth water. Children's Day exercises were held at*Bethesda Church and it was an enjoyable occasion with good addresses ami recitations. And, oh! the dinner, it was line.
