The following letter from Mayor Cromer on the -condition in Newberry since the dispensary was voted out -was published in the Anderson Daily Mail last week: Newberr1, Nov. 23. Mr. B. F. Martin. Chairman, An derson, S. C., Dear Sir:-I -have your card of November 20th, asking me to tell you of the con'di'ion of affairs in this county since the abolition of the dispensary. I am able to speak defi nitely of conditions in town of New- ] berry; but my knowledge of condi tions in the county I get at second hand. In the town, since the dispen s'ary was voted out, there has been .much less drun-kenness and far less disorder. From every moral point of t view the improvement lhas -been re markable. A large qiantity of liquor is ship peld into the county -and, I am told that in certain sections the it1liciE fraf fic is large; but to a considerable ex tent these are the sections in which the blin:d tigers plied their trade be fore the dispensary 'was v6ced out. In those sections of the country in which the sentiment is at all f-avorable to prohiition, and that means almost all parts of the 'cototy, conditions are muh'better than they 'were. Persons who live along the roads leading out fromn the to'wn of Newberry and the town of Prosperity tell me that 'peo ple going .ot of town, and especially t on Saturday afternoon and night, are -mu'ch more orderly :than they ~ were 'when we 'had the dispensary; drunk now and that their teams are not driven hard and abused as they frequently 'were 'before. Taking the situation as -a whole, I have no hesi tation in -say'ing that voting out the dispensary has been a great .gain for morals, good order, and sobriety in the county of Newberry. Yours very truly. Geo. B. Cromer. An Old Lady. Mrs. 'Margaret Sligh, wvidow~ of the late Jacob Slyigh, ~who died about fifteen years ago,, celebrated her goth anniversary .on last 'Thursday. Mrs. Sligh lives 'with her son, Mr. M'cDuffie Sligh, near old Ebenezer 'and is re markably a'ctive for one of 'her ad vanced age. She frequently carries her wood for her room and does many other smal'ler chores. Her health is good, does not have a pain 1 or in -ache an'd 'bids fair to reach her too years. Advertised Letters.
