There will be a determined effort made by ome to abolish the system entirely and by others thne law would be ~hanged so as to prohi bit the sale of s~piritous liquors except for sacramen ~al and mechanical purposes only. ~We believe the dispensairy system i a good solition of the liquor' prob Iem, providing the same is eliminated from politics entirely.

If pro hibition could be enforced it would be a great thing, but we do not be lieve that any law can be enacted by which such a result can be had.Theo retically prohibition is all right, but practically it is a failure, or rather sch has been the experience of States that have given it a fair trial. We do not think that anyone will deny that the dispensary works more satisfactory to the masses than the barroom system. Should the dispen sary be abolished, the bars will follow s sure as night follows day with all of their obnoxious attachments. Un der the present constitution the Gen eral Assembly can permit ai return of the old crder of seliing liquor, but we hope before taking such a step they will submit the question to a vot of he people and not be guided by the clamorous demands of a few who are interested If any changes are to be made in gi law, there should be some mnodi b ation by which large cities with a e mopolitan population can be made atistied.

SUSANNA Don't You Cry for Me. Mr. Smith Has Returned from Alabama. The !ollowini paragralh was taken from the Hopkins, S. C., correspon dence to the Coluibia Register: Mr. T. Francis Smith., a laing country centienan of this section of Richlan., lft bere last 'hirsday for Mobilt,, A-. His intention was to weI a l0y living there whom he had never 'seen-only saw her photograph -and she refned to marrv him after he had traveled a distance of over .500 miles. I hope this will be a can tion to men of his age, which i- abont GO years. Mr. Smith is quite well known here and has many friends in the country whom he often solicited to insuie their lives; some of them were aware of his romantic intention to play matrimonial blind man's buff, and of course they want to learn how he came out with his venture. It was known to some that Brother Smith was in correspondence with what purported to be a Miss Ophelia West, of Mobile, Ala., and her photo graph showed her to be Voung and beautiful; after it was agreed that a marriage was to follow this corres pondence, a time was fixed for the swain of three score years to go to see his loved one. She wrote him that she would "Meet him in blue. And kiss him true." And the old gent went, but Oh! what a difference when they met; she saw him, and told him to "git." The blissful dream of Brother Smith was knocked into smithereens, and sor rowfully be pulled his freight for South Carolina. This fair Ophelia cruelly trifled with our friends affections and she should be ashamed of herself, for it was very naughty in her to do the old gentleman that way. If Mr. snith ever visits Mar ning again we hope he will give us an es sav entitled, "what kind of a fool, is an~ old fool any way," so that in the future the sight of a feminine hand witing on a piece of paper, or the photograph of an object in skirts will not turn the head of an innocent youth of sixty years. Why the Alabama beauty refused to marry Brother Smith, when she laid her lovely and bewitching eyes upon him is open only to conjecture, for we are sure lie is a nice old rman, and displayed lots of nerve in travel ing 500 miles to marry a women lie had never seen. Fortunately for him the girl owed nobody a grudge and was not red-haired. Mr. Smith is entertaining to the unemployed Jobs and he is not of the worldly kindI; his piety no doubt will stand him in good stead at this time, for other men would cuss and have no sy t v viith the fellow who sings: " ie girl I left behind me."~ -"Brrwife of Mr. D.

Editor - The Manning Times: Pease allow me space in .iour jour nal to relate to the public what a grand day last Thursday (Thanks giving Day) was, the writer being a recipient of on invitation to dine with Mr. S. W. McIntosh, in the Salem section. After a drive of 10 miles with my' family I was there. I was agreeably surprisedl to find a goodly number collected, with a beautifully decorated stage, rehears ing fur the coming entertainment, gotten up by Miss Maud Garland, prinipally by students of her schoot Miss Maud is a model girl and is fsmous for school entertainmnents. About 5 o'clock the people began to come and continued until about three hundred had arrived. The ex ercises commenced at 6 o'clock p. mn. The large audience was composed of ladies and gentlemen of profound re finements, judging from the orderly conduct which prevailed. Dur-ing the exercises the crowd was quite so licitous, but I imnagine it wvas owing to the eloquent, interesting and in structive progr-am that contained rec itations of both natures, reading and musical, which were delivered su blimely. The dialogues were acted' with much stress, and so impressive that I think all present must concede that it was a feast to their eyes and also to their mental capacities. Now I wish that I couxld narrate the entire details of the occasion, but I am afraid it will take too munch of your time and space, therefore will conclude by saying every feature of the' program was quite interesting and gratifying to all present, and more especially the writer, wvho met so many of his friends and relatives there. The greetings and reminis cances of the past were quite plain and meditative. Oh, could we recall the past or buy time, what a differ ent people we would be. Nevert he-e less, we should be thankful, and suf fice to say that we all were thankful to the Great I Am for permitting us to meet on such an occasion to min gle together with relatives, friends: and strangers, in social inter-coursec and friendship, discussing the topics 1 of the day and in every way pertain-C ing to the interest and wvelfare of our Now, Mr. Editor, I will reiterate by saing I felh thankfjl first to the Gceat I Am an:d lastly to the goody peole of the commitiiy for the. -oirtesy and hospitality tendered met a-dm aily during my sojourn. 5. W. McIntosh's place of abode is aways open to good people and th ey 1 reaidy nealize that they ar-e welcome. 1 A. "'oble, generous hearted;" that's f te- kind of make-up he is.

If inventions continue to multiply at the present rate, the day may speedily come when man will have to sit with folded arms while his work and even his pleasures are turned out for him by nickel infthe slot devices. Science has lately given us a marvel in the shape of a card counting machine. Two of the most interesting automata now working within the limits of the United States are those used by the gov ernment for counting and tying postal cards into small bundles. These ma chines were mado in Connecticut, and the two are capable of countting 500,000 cards in ten hours and wrapuing and tying the same in packages oi 25 each. In this operation the paper is pulled of a drum by two long "fingers," which come up from below, and another finger dips in a vat of mucilage and applies it self to the wrapping paper in exactly the right s;ct. Other parts of the ma chine twine the paper arourd the pack of cards, and then a "thumb" presses over the spot where the mucilage is, and the package is thrown upon a carry belt ready for delivery.-Argcsy.

It Is One of the Greatest Wonders In Thus Country. One of the greatest curiosities in the United States, or in the world, perhaps, is the wonderful ledge of ice which ex ists, even in the midst of the hottest summer, in Scott county, Va. This nat ural icehouse is situated on the north side of Stone mountain and about six miles from the mouth of a small stream known as Stony creek. The marvel is said to have been k-nown to at least one of the early settlers, a Mr. Danridge, who, it is alleged, discovered it while deer hunting away back in 1830. Ow ing to the fact that the land on which it was situated could not be bought. Mr. Daridge positively refused to fell of the whereabouts of the ico ledge, and only visited the place when it was ab sclutely necessary to obtain a supply to be used in case of sickness. The old man died many years ago, and from that time until 1803 the loca tion of Danridge's ice mine was un known, the old gentleman having never even tal~cn his own family into the se cret. In the year last mentioned, however, a party of herb diggers visited the un frequented region contiguous to Stone mountain and were fortunate enough to rediscover the lost ice mine. During two or three months in the middle of summer the ice is only pro tected from the sun's rays by a thick growth of moss. The formation of the ice layer is similar to that of a coal vein, being thin in somte places and thicker in others, the average thickness being about four feet. Persons of some scientific attainments who have visited the place for the purpose of studying the wonder say that it has the appear ance of having been there since the time of the ice age, which the geologists talk so much about. Another plausible theo ry is that somewhere beneath the bed is situated a great natural laboratory where ether is constantly formed and expelled, and that the process of freez ing is now constantly going on. What ever view is taken it is one of the great est natural wonders the state affords.
