lb MgM Sid PM4s C - . a. AULL. RDITOR. h Entered at the Postoffice at New- f Iferry. S. C., as and class matter. M C Friday, May 17, 1907. a The intention of the state dispen sary law from its very origin. was to decrease drink. But how different with the county Ilacliines! 'Tihey want people to drink it whether they want to or not.-Lexington Dispatch. patch. Well, now do you mean to say that t the state dispensary decreased the use of whiskey, or that was its pur pose. Was it not a fact that each admin- c istration seemed to take more pride in the business that was done, the sales that were made and tl, pro fits that resulted rather than show ing the small amount of -whiskey consumed. The fact of the matter is that the state dispensary as well as the county dispensary seems to have been in the business for the money that could be made. We heard not long ago a promi nent citizen. of Columbia, who has always been a strong advocate of the state dispensary, say that he now be lieves in the county dispensary, and his main reason for a change of be lief was, that in Richland county the ' county dispensary was making about d $10,000 per month clear. As a mat ter of fact, if we are to have whis key sold by the state or by the coun ty, we think that it Is just as well ' to make some money, oat of it. As a moral question, it is no greater sin to make $10,000 than it is to make U $1.00, and we believe that if the dis- I pensary is to be run at all that it should handle first class whiskey and charge a good price for it so as to have a good profit. Those who have to have whiskev for medicinal or mechanical purposes call afford to pay a good piee for what they -need if they get a good article, and those people, who desire to use it as a be erage, should be made to pay for it. for it is thien a luxury and not a necessity. Editor A. M. Carpenter, of the Dhily Mail of' An derson. has receiv ed an appointment as one of the clerks to tle imnigration comimis sion, appointed by congress, and which starts this week on their tour of Europe. We are glad that Mr. Carpenter has received this appoint ment as it will give im) an opportul ity of a trip to Europe and at the same time fuirnish some coipensa tion besides. Wi hope that, Mr. Carpenter will send letters from time to time to the Daily Mail, giv ing us his impressions of imlmigra tion. The commision will be gone three months. Ts the Jamiest own Ex position worth visiting at pre'senIt ? A niumber of1 re pu table journiiaIs dlecla re withI em phasis that it is not. Such a state ment should unot be made except af ter careful invest igat ion. but if it be a fact that ,the incompleteness of t,he Exposition renders it unatt rae tive as yet to visitors the Exposi tion aut horit ies should lbe fo,remiost in adv'isi ng thle pe'ople to wait na til lat - er before visiting what is sure to he (evenltuailly ai largze an.l mist at t ractiv~e show. Sonme Ipeoplie enni be fooled into going to i Jamnestown. but few, if any, can lie fooled after t hey get theure and a disappoinitedl sight seen is thle poorest sort of an adver I isemeint-News aiid C ourier. We do not know what the condi t ions aric at .Jamest own at t.hiis t ime, but wvhen thle cx posit ion opened thle appearance iniciatedl t hat it would he at least sixty days before anything at all would b)e in shape or in c'on dition for v'isitors. The streets were iiot comletedl and very few of the build ingR weire comipleted'i, and ii onieii of the exhibits wvere in shape. The Sout,h Carolina exhibit was nearer comple tion than any that we saw. We are of the opiniioni that when the exhihits are in shape and the grounds and buildings ar'e comlet ed that it wvill be probably the best ex.. posit ion thIiat has been held, but at that time everything~ was in a very incom.plete condition. For that. rea son we have advised that t,he Press Association not make its visit until some time in July. Cole L Blease, of Newberry, in an interview with a representative of the Augusta Chronicle, declared that the present dispensary law is a far ee, anid that there will be a change made at the meeting of the next leg islat-ure. Mr. Blease asserted, how ever, that the State dispensary, with the proper1 safegairds against graft, is the best solution in the w~old for the handling of the liquor traffic, but if we can 't get the state dispen ary he is in favor of prohibition. This j a pretty good sign that it will not e long before South Carolina will ave prohibition; for, as a matter of act, the state dispensary is dead orCver dead in South Carolina, and le believe, like Senator Blease, that lie county dispensaries are a nuis nee and a farce. When a County tries to increase lie sales of liquor by pdacing it in very town in the county, whether lie majority of citizens want it or ot, for the sole purpose of making ioney and making money alone, then t is time for every God-fearing, lib rty-loving citizen in South Carolina o rise up with just indignation and id the state of a curse that is fast ragging us down to the lowest epths of perdition. Away with the ounty dispensaries and their revenue! live us prohibition!-Lexington Dis ateh. We would not be surprised if the entiment in favor of a straight pro ibition law was not much stronger t the next session of the legislature han it was last winter. In fact if he prohibitionists who were in the ngislature had joined forces with the isp)ensary people who were willing o vote for prohibition rather than lie Carey-Cothran Act, a prohibi ion law couild have been enacted last vinter, and we would not he at. all urprised that at the next session of lie legislature a prohibition bill re eives much stronger support than it tid last winter. The fact is, we are more and more ielined to the opinion that where the entiment of the people Is in. favor f the sale of whiskey that ! would e better to provide a license system .der the provisions of the constitu ion rather than to have county dis iensary. The liquor question is a mtzzle and it. is very dif11eult to d6 ermine what is best to be done in rder to have the least evils resulting roi its sale. The theory of the dis iensary law is probably all right, ml. the temptation to make money mt of it is too rreat and the dan rer is that it will lead to a Imone'y naking affair wherever established. At the Diocesan conveiition. which is been in session in Coltuiibia dur ng this week. the Rev. William A. luerry, a native of South Carolina, mit at present coninected with Sewa ice University, as elected Bishop 'oadjutor for the Diocese of South .arolina. He Followed Orders. An old colonial railway manager related tle following amusing alnec lote: "Many years ago.,'" he said, "there 6vas employed on a small railway 6vihli which I was connected a fore n who was noted for doing exactly is lie wak told.

The following letter has been sent ut by President Aull in regard to Ihe proposed trip of the Press Asso ,iation to Norfolk. In the event that there are no more than a sutifficient number to fill one ear, arrangements will be"made to have that ear attached to the re lar train with the stop-overs as in . -ated. Unless there is a decided pre Cerence amopg the editors to go to Jamestown on South Carolina day it is probable that President Aull will select the 22nd of July as the date to make the trip. He would be glad to hear from the editors, who con template a' visit to Jamestown, just as early as possible in reply to the suggestions contained in- the ,state ment which he has sent out so that the arrangements may be ierfected. I have been aut.horiz'ed by the exe outive commitee to proceed to make srrangements for the trip of the South Carolina Press association to the Jamestovn exposition. I have been to Jamestown to so -tre information and look over the leld. I am very much puzzled as to ie best plans for this trip. I am ;ure that it should not be taken un il some time in July or August; that f we go as early as South Carolina lay, which is June 28, we will find he exposition in a very incomplete ondi.tion. I would like to have sug estions from the members of the as tociation, and also an idea of bow uany will go on this trip, so that I night conclude as to the best plan or the trip. Under the head "How to get to Famestown" the secretary of the Na :ional Editorial association says. 'The best 'way to get there, is to get here the best way you can." Of 1ourse each member of the South .'arolina association can go jupt as !heap by himself as lie can with the issociation. There are many 'advan ages, however, in taking such a trip oget-her. I have had conferences with representatives of the Southern Railway and also with the Seaboard. One plan I had thought of, if we '01ld get as many as 100 people in )ur party, is to secure three Pullman Lars ;and one combinat.ion baggage aind day coach and get the railroad to run our cars as a special --train. Under this arrangement we could ar range to spend a few hours in Ohpx. lotte, several hours in Raleigh and 'a day in Richmond. Then we could have our cars parked at Norfolk and retain them until we returned. On the retuirn trip, of course we would vone directly home. If we went by the Sout.hern, we would maintain about the following schedule on the trip going: Leave C'oliumbia at (6 a. mn. anid ar rive at Charlotte about 9.30; leave Charclot te at 12.30) and arrive at lHal eigh at (6 hp. im.; leave Raleigh at 10 p. im. and arr'ive ini Richmnondl next morning at 7 a. mi.; spend the dlay in Richmond and arriive in Nor'folk next mornling. By securing a sixteen section~ car We could put 32 people in each Pull m.an without crowding aind they wiould he about as comfortable to sleep in at Norfolk wiithi proper wiat cir and sanitariy arriangements as th cr'owdled hotels, anid we would not hiav'e the annoy.ance of ('arrying our1 b)aggagre around or thle cost of t rans fer'ring it. I do not think it would lie wise to undertake to furnish mieals The cost of such arrangement for transpor'tation and( Pullmn cars a'nd the pariking.of the ears for five dlays ini Norfolk, going oil a fifteen dlays ticket anid taking a tenl (lays tr'ip, would1 be about $28.00 for each per son if' we had as moany, as 100 per sonls ill the three cat's. If we (do not take the eal's for the trip, thte cost would1( be about $20.00 each -foi transpot'tat ion and Pullman rate, gol ing and i'eturn'ming. 'rhen roome could be secured for' thte five (lays in Nor'folk at $1.25 per day and up, with more than one person in a room. I jav e lnmer'ous pr'oposit ions firom hotels aind r'ooming hlouses tc care for theC associat.ion while it ii in Norfolk. Mr'. Snyder, of tihe ex position, wvrites me that the P~ine (rove Inn wvill be finished by the 1st of June and it wvill be located at the exposition very neal' the entrance and1 fronting Hampton Roads and tliat we can secure rooms for the party in this hotel for $1.25 per day, European plan, and if we desire, ? portion of the time at the same rate may be spent at Virginia Beach with boats running directly from the grounds to Vil'ginia Beachl every iforty minutes ivithi probably a 2 cents fare fot' the round trip). I wouild be pleased to have you write met yourt pr1eference of thtese trips at once, as I would like to ar range such a trip thtat will be agree abl to the majority of those who in tend to take it. Of course if we do not take the ears gor the ientire trip, we will go directly to Norfolk without the stops indicated above. The cost of the two trips, you will observe, is practically the same. If we should not have as many as 100, who are members of the -association or con nected dirtetly with the Press, nem hers of the association might invite some of their friends to go with them so as to be able to make up .e requisite number in order to se cure a special train. Yours truly, E. H. AULL, President. Human mwr. Did you ever cateh a whiff of a foul breath I Was ever anything more of fensive? Surely nothing is more hu miliating to the possessor of. such a breath than to see a friend turn away in conversation or remind you of the odor. Do such sufferers realize the cause of this condition? Let us tell them, if they do not. It is nothing but .a catarr.hal con dition of the head, throat and lungs. The mucous membrances are diseas ed and inflamed, constantly secreting a foul poisonousy-and nauseating mat ter whieh contaminates the very air one breatbes, while, if neglected, it leads to numerous distressing compli cations, even consumption and death. What is the cure? It is a simple one. Call upon Win. E. Peiham and Son, Newberry, S. C., for a dollar bottle of Andes Great Prescription. One b9ttle will relieve, often- cure, if the trouble is of long standing, they are authorized to guarantee a. cure with six bottles, costing five dollars. This reniarkable remedy, purely a vege table one, is a wonderful blood puri fier, and besides catarrhal' diseases, quickly relieves all deraggem(tits of the stomach, liver and kidneys. Chronie liadder 'troubles know no better rene(ly. As a positive cure for all stages of rheumatism and impuri ties of the blood, it has no equal. Ask for names of local people who have been cured by Andes' Great Prescription. Building Material. Editor Herald and News, Newberry, S. C. Dear Sir: As quite a number of your citiz ens are no doubt considering the comparative vallie of the various building materials now offered, they will no doubt be mislead into the use of so called reenforced concrete. As your city has recently suffered tL severe loss from a disastrous confla gration, it would no doubt be of in terest to you if you could secure a copy of a recent publication in San Franeisco entitled ''Bum:nt Clay Pro ducts in Fire and Earthqcuake. '', This is a* very attIraet ively p)rep)ared panm philet. and will lbe furnished upon ap~ p)lientiont to 707 Lankershamn Build ing. LoIs Angeles, Cal. It contains sp)lendlid p)ictures of the wrecked and dlamaged buiildingrs of the unfortunate city by the Golden Gaite, and shows in a most striking way the compara tive value of the several building ma terials which ate now offered. The buildings constructed of concrete seemed to have suffered most bo0th (from earthquake and tBre. As so many of your citizens are vitally interested in. this question at this time, I trust you will give this card space in your next issue. Yours truly, A Builder. COTTON SEED.
