j|jjf ||etali) anil ||cm watered at the Postottice at New-! S. C., as 2nd cla^s matter. | E. H. AULL, EDITOR. I i Tuesday March 14, 191G. i -GOOD FOR $5,000 A YEAR" The Index did not suggest that tax r\f fifrv sprite, a nafkasfP on all whiskev shipments as a joke. If it is legal in Birmingham, Ala., it ought to be in Greenwood. Officially the express shipments of whiskey here average two hundred ' a week. Fiay cents the package would bring into the town treasury one hundred dollars a week. One j hundred dollars the week for one year, fifty-two weeks, will bring In five thousand and two "hundred dol-' lars. This will pay several items of.: municipal expense and is worth look- ; ing into.?Greenwood Index. I This reminds us of a story that we / used to hear in the days of the dis-. pensary. The story runs, that a trav- J eling man got into Abbeville one i evening after the dispensary had clos ed. and He was just a little tmrsty, so he called one of the bell 'boys at the ! hotel and asked him o: the chance of i securing a little something to drink. ! The boy replied, "Am sorry, boss, but j we have the dispensary here ana It: closes at sundown and will not open ; until tomorrow morning, but ir you really want something to drink and will get me a horse and buggy, I will run o.ver to Greenwood and set you all ~ " ! you want. The point is that Greenwood was at ] that time a prohibition county. And it would seem from the amount tnat the Index says is shipped in there each week that it is still a prohibition VOUULy, wihi a yi*;u.iy ui iuc aiuu iv supply the really thirsty. And then it should -be remembered that Greenwood has a great many other towns j i with express offices. We have not the facts, 'but we j would think that not half of two hundred gallons is receievd at Xebwerry per week, and some of the thirsty inclined live hereaibout also. We are inclined to agree with the Index, however, that this plan of levy/ ting a small tax on each shipment would 'be a good way to raise some revenue, and then whiskey is not ne-1 cessary, and if the people want to indulge in its use let them pay for it. But we do not 'believe it would raise anything like $5,000 a year in Newberry. We print a letter from Former Gov I B enor Blease on the State wide can-1 I H paign. It is, as he says, that the m abolition of the campaign would not W in the least hurt him. <He is well known and you have to hand it to him that he can always draw a crowd when he announces that he will speak. The - people like to hear him. We have not M changed our mind that we just as well J have the campaign It can do no harm ! and then it gives every candidate for' any State position the opportunity to j come before the people and present hi? ' cause. une insurance companies uouig j business in Charleston pay annually j into the city treasury in license fees ! over $18,000, according to The News and Courier. The withdrawal of this much revenue from the city will leave k a pretty big hole to be filled. When Bob Roark was going through the jail on an inspection tour the other day one of the dusky prisoners said: 'Sheriff, do you k?.cW de difference H 'tween de moon an' dis jail?" The 1 sheriff said he didn't believe he did. "Well," replied the ace o: spades. "De "moon, it just gits full onct a inont, and dis jail, it stays full all de time."? Pickens Sentinel. We suppose this is another good j I*r? fo Af nr O r> Af P<tl S UUICIIl ill Id V V/l v/l \J X do vrx the enforcement o: law. Heretofore the jails have not been full because there were no officers to enforce the > law. Too bad. 'Judge McLeod, in sentencing a man A in Charleston last week for violation of the liquor law, said "the blind tiger is a parasite on the community and bears the same relation as does a bed- j bug to a human bein^."?Pickens Sentinel. Judge McLeod should not make such invidious comparisons as that and then he should be ashamed to use such language from the bench. H ut. tut.

Summer died at her nome near Pendleton on Sunday morning, March 12, at 7 o'clock. She had not' been in good health '.or a year or more, and while her deaLh was not 'unexpected at any time, still it was a great shock to her aged hus'band and the J j__ , ^ , l oiner memoers 01 tne tamiJy. Before her marriage she was Miss j Mary Jane Scruggs, a daughter of ! Robert iScruggs, a citizen of Helena.! Mrs. Summer was born August 14, 1847, and was, therefore, in her 69th; year at the time a' her death. She was married to Mr. Summer on the 12th day of December. 1S67, and: if she had lived until the coming De- j ceaiber one year would have made j their pilgrimage through life's high-! way together a half century. X long j time, humanly speaking, for two peo- j pie to journey together as man and j wife, and yet but a span. She i6 sur- j vived by her aged husband, who is all j broken up by the breaking of the ten- ! der ties which have existed during: this half century, but he must be sus- j tained by the assurance that all things are done for the best of those ywho j journey here, though we may not at the time be able to see it. He has' the sympthy of a host of friends in his loneliness. She is also survived | by one daughter and two sons. Mrs. j Cole L. Blca:-e and H. Clint Summer,; Jr., and Jack C. 'Summer. The" two boys made their home with their pa-, rents at Pendleton and Mrs. Blease, lives in Columbia. The amily has been greatly blessed as this is the first ' death and the first 'vacant chair in the, household during all these years. Mrs. Summer lived at Helena the; greater pat of her life, and only a few 1 years ago the family moved to Pendle- j: ton where they have a fine old country place. Tlie marriage certificate shows that the marriage ceremony of Mr. and Mrs. j Summer was performed by the Rev. IW. I u. Maytield, a Baptist minister, and I the ather of Mr. W. D. Mayfield who I was at one time State superintendent * of education for South Carolina. Mrs. Summer was a member of the Baptist church and was a loving wife and an indulgent mother and a kind and thoughtful neighbor. Burial was had at Rosemont cemetery in Newberry on Monday after-;: noon, the services being conducted*; i rom the residence of Mr. Julius Eison |i at 4:30 o'clock by the Revs. E. V. Babb and F. E. Dibble. 1 The floral tributes were especially beautiful. iT.h? nail bearers were: Otto K!ett ner, K. C. Bovleston, P. E. Scott, J. H. j Cha'ppell Robert Holmes, F. R. Hunter C. J. Purcel1., J. A.

Re- \ membering that a few doses of Dr. J Kilmer's Swamp-Root compleiely reJ lieved my Mother-in-law, after all the doctors who were called on her case had failed to do her any good, I asked my husband to get me a 'bottle of Swamp-Root, which he did, and I took if and threw the doctors' preparations away, because immediately a ter I started taking Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot I was greatly relieved. |My husband was,so pleased he said 1 should take one dozen bottles of Swamp-Root, but by the time I had taken seven bottles I was completely restored to health.
