They are selling off their entire stock at New York cost. Now is the time to get bargains. If one wants to know how to run a news paper, all that is necessary, is to wait for the voluntary advice of a man who has never had a days experience. Coroner-elect Andrews has given his of ficial bond and as soon as the same is ac cepted he will get his commission and en ter upon the discharge o- his duties. Mr. J. D.

A newspaper to be interesting needs'the assistance of those who want their county paper to be kept at a high standard. It is to the interest of every community that it should have some one to -write for its county paper to let the outside world know of its existance. Died at his home. near Manning. last Thursday, Mr. Paul R. Tisdale, a son of Mr. T1.. .J. 'Tisdale. The deceased was about twenty-two years of age, of bright and cht-ry dispostion and popular among his associates. He attended school at t he In stitute and was a hard student. His death removed from amongst us, a young mian w:th a prospect of much usefulness before him: There was a nu~nber of people here last' Monday to trausact business with our county officers. One was out on bis offictial rounds, another was sick in bed. 'nd ad other lives some distance froni the er art house and has not yet published his office days. If an officer is not to keep his eflice open every day, the public has a right to k-noir what days his cffice will be open so they need not make any useless trips. Our two youngest merchants. Messrs. W. E. Jenkinson and J. H. Lesesne, are teaching our older merebants a few lessons how to buy goods to sell to farmers where by they can save money. T1hey are mak ing a leader of the "Dixie Boy" plows for $1.15, formerly the same plow was sold for $.50, and the beauty of it is, that the cast ings fit perfectly and they are not afraid to let the people know it.

L Loryea IN MEMORIAM. Death is abroad in the land, and is no rk spccter of persons: for all must die. It !ays his cold clammy hand upon us and we are forced to xield. We all realize that we have to die. yet that future -that in ,vdinite future Lolds out to us its encha:n - ih, proposi!ions, and we brush acide such solemn thouguts anid again with renewed eotrts go about business as usual. Death has removed frnm our midst a bright, and promising young man. Paul Tisdale has been a pupil of mine, now go ing on two years and possessed one of the brightest winds I ever had to instruct. He was quick, energetic. and ambitious, and it was a constant source of pleasure to vatch his progress and conscious pride a be mastered one difficulty after another. He was very desirous of getting as full a course at the Institute as possible before going off to college. He told me the last day he was at school that it was his inten tion to give the ministry his service; so while we can't comprehend the rulings of Divine providence in his career being ttr minated so early, yet it is a consolation to know that such noble t-iguts and aspiira tions tilled hi's mind. During his cattre course at s-:hool I never once had to call his attention to any misbehavior whatever. The memory of him will ever form with me one of the bright pages of schol-room experience. I hereby express to the be. reaved family my deepest sympathy. Come to the Times ofice and buy a Websters unabridged dictionary cheap. We received two letters last night froa subscribers to the Times. One complains of our political position, the other compli mentrus for the position we are taking. An editor caunot please every dody, and it he attempts to do so, he will have no opin ions of his own. The party complaining has taken up an i.ea that our advocating the obliteration of factional lines is going. back on he Reform party; in this he is en tirely mi staken. The Reform faction has accomplished its most important ends and there is no necessity for fighting shadows. Red and white onion sets fir sale at I. B. Loryea's. AMENDING THE DISPENSARY LAW. By far the most important business that will come before the Legislatare is what amendments are necessary to perfect the dispensary law and rid it of the abures charged. We believe that the pcople are now in a condition to consider this niatter carefully and patriotically, and l,-islate not to ventilate personal spleen o, advance political interests, but do what they believe is best for the whole State and the people thereof. South Carolina his accomplished a great work when she eradicated barroo:es from her borders and enchained the liguor de mon. No fair minded man will deny the fact th-at the dispensary system, even as non% operated, is a vast improvement over lIeeiunsedt liquor s ioons. Wiun the State put a stop to tippling shops, kept open'i un til a late hour at night and where faacy and enticing drinks were sold, it is 2 long stride toward promoting teaiperance. Vast sunis were invested in the liquor business, and it is but natural that the men engaged in that traffic and their friends should fight to the bitter end what they conscientiousiy believed a wiltul wrecking of their proper ty.- But those parties have now found oth er vocations-their bar-rooms are demol ished and their costly fixtures disposed of. A man will tight and spend money to hold what he has, but few will care to invest 1 good money in battling for something to I be yet secured. Under our new constitution, bar-rooms cannot again be opened in South Carolina.1 The only lawful change that can be made in the dispensary law is for the State to delegate to individnals the sale of intoxi cants, under the same restrictions as applyt to the dispensary. Or we can adopt totl I prohibition. Experience has taught that prohibition does anything else than prohibit. It is simply an exchange of the leg-lized sale of whiskey for a horde of bhnd tigers, and an encouragement for law-breaking. Just so long as the process of fermentation and ditillation are known, will some men drink liquor and will other men supply them. . We believe that the people, or a majority at least, recognize the fact that the dispen sary system is the best solution y et male >f the vexed liquor problem. This is es tablisbed by the fatct that the law is being enforced with less and less friction every day, and those disgraceful scenes that ushered in the dispeimary system are ntow anknown. The only bloodshed for, aionths was thie recent killing in uppert Gree iville cor-ity, and such 'nfortunate accurrences have been a frequent happen ing with U. S. res tue eflicers. We are free to admit that the dispensary is not what its promoters designed it to be, and also that liquor-drinking is increasing instead of' diminishing. This fact is trans parent to any one who will walk upon our streets. Now, would it not be better for prohi bition, and the friends of temperance, to come together and see if they cannot devise, some plan by which the dispernsary can be so overhauled, amended and remodeled as to promote the cause of sobriety, gradually pave the way t >r prohibition andl weed ou: blind tigers. The c onstable force costs about $15,000 a year to maintain. The price chairged by the dispen'sary for liquor is too high. The profits from the business have been divert ed from the school fund, to which thev were given by the constitutional conven t on, and tuirned into the general treasury. It is too easy for habitual drunkards and minors to buv whisker. Now, if the Legislature can remedy those abuses, and carry out the law as it was designed by its authors, then wye be lieve it will solve the liquor problem and give general satisfaction. As now conducted, we do not believ-e that there is any corruption or mismanag~e meat connected with tt-: State he-idquar ters in Columbia, and the powe'r of that I board shoul be st engt bened and thedi pensary en ti rely d: vorced fromt po:it:es. Of course, the Legislature should mike a rigid and searching investigitien of thet business, fiom the day that Lhe dispensary opened until the present iline, and let thet public know ju.;t how~ tauch liquor has I been so'd, wit are the prohits, and where every n'le of ~ this moneyv has gone to. Noth~ng les wil s:tisfy our taxpayers. Then ie','ce ibe lperationi of the business to the lo'west cs e'citnmensrate with ecui cient servee, op cif aI unnecessary anti snuei.'t:s o1Lrs, sell the lower grade of liquors at about cost, and this viii starve the blind uger cutc rsore to car public schools the prott to hich they are enti tled under the la, resti t the sale of li quor only to sober men or for medicinal purpoeses, and let disp'ensaries keep open shorter hours--and then iequiire our State and municipal ottcers to enforce the law and supprerss blind ties Let a man i port a car-load of liqur incto the State for his own use, but ofler ' st iding reward of $100) for every convition of sale, and for the second offence send the otfender to the penitentiaty.

C., Jan. 1th:-For about two weeks now, the grippe has had almost complete control of things in this part of the country. No fanily and but very few individuals have escaped it, soie however, hav ing much more severe atttacks than others. Ses eral are still quite sick. The Academy has been going on all during the past week in spite of the sickness 6f both of the assistants anda large number of the pupils. The library is getting in shape now and the book eases have been nearly completed, when the work is done it will be quite an addition to the build ing and a new force will be set at work in the community, the influence of which will undoubtedly be for the good of the young as well as the old. Another improvement is also being made at the Academy, the trus tees are putting in another flue for the purpose of heating the third clas, room more perfectly. An effort to :tharter the school is also be:.ng made ind it is hoped that before very much onger it will be a chartered insti tution. It would be a good thing now to set this off as a special school listrict so that the taxes might be used as the trustees see fit, they -ould then also assess a special tax .or the use of the schools in this dis rict.
