Last Thursday night there appeared ' before Judge Wilson at chambers, in Manning. quite an array of lawy ers to' argue amotion in the case where a lot at Lake City is involved in thae matter I of A. H. Williams & Co.. and Mrs. Ella~ Jones. Tbe lawyers were Hon. Wa'lter i Had of Georgetown and Hon. W. L Bass of Laice City for the Williams Co.I and Henry Davis. Esq.. of Fliorence for Mrs. Jones. There . small farmer over n the Fork on w~ .. is known as the Sellers. Pliace which is regarded poor land' tha: has proven what work and careful t tention to farming w!!! accomplish even on poor lands. Mr. T. G. Walker is'th man we speak of. He plaused "ifeen acres of cotton and will make not le. h than thirteen bales. He planted seven - acres of corn and will make not less than . two hundred bushels. Mr Walker used~ I for the entire crop two tons vi standardp guano and one ton of soda. This is protit-. ? ver:isement o' M. M.

A similar condition exists among the fields of his neighbors. and Mr. rTidgewav. who is an observant farmer of intelligence. thinks that steps, sbould be taken to arrest this pest. Mr. I idgeway is satistied it is the boll wee vil. all the indications point to that in sect, and the ravages it is making now has only just begun. We suggest that the head of the farmers union In this county get into communication with the: Clemson authorities and have this mat ter investigated at once. The Clarendon Good lRoads Associa tion was formerly organized last Satur day with the election of the following officers: Dr. C. 13. Geiger, president: .lames E. Kelley, vice-president: and T. M. Wells. secretary and treasurer. The president was authorized to appoint one man in each township as an executive committee. There were several plans discussed and a number of suggestions made with regard to the building up oil the public highways, and the financial management of the county. There is no question about the advisibility of an or ganization of this character and we be lieve if the people generally will co-op-; erate with an organization of this kind it will result in great good. Everybody favors good roads but they can only be secured by spending money on them. THE TMiES is in thorough accord with any movement which has for its purpose the bailding up of our public highways and freely offers its columns to have the matters connected therewith placed be fore the people. Revenne OfMcers After Soft Drinks. Two men representing themselves as revenue officers were in Manning iast Monday morning and called upon Mr. Jim Stukes. who conducts a fruit stand next door to the express office, they informed Mr. Stukes the beverage lie was selling labeled "non-alcoholic" put up by the Germania Brewing Comn Iny was liable to the internal revenue tax. and that he must pay 30 for the stuff already sold. Mr. Stukes told them he was innocent of any wrng doing as he bought the beverage with a guarantee from the Germania Brewing Company that it contained no alcohol, and was not liable to the revenue tax. They said r he would have to pay anywar for the stuff already sold, even if he did discon- d C tinue now. Mr. Stukes says these men did not show any authority that they were rev enue officers. but all the same he does P not propose to take any chances as it is not his intention to violate the law. he therefore telegraphed to the concern be bought from and informed them of the revenue ofEfers visit. The stuff a which was sold by Stukes is a very poor imitation of beer. made from hops and ' if it contains any alcohol it m.st be very h weak. P The same offcials called upon anoth er merchant but that gentleman was not in at the time, and they left word 1$ that it was reported to them they were 0 bandling this same product and they " wrould have to pay the revenue. The r parties will probably hear from the of- h Scers later. We cannot see how these 0 parties are liable for the revenue taxb merely on the statement of an offcer. Itd seems to us that before thev- would be k iable the government would have to prove the liquid contained more than b be quantity of alconol allowed by law.! md even then the Germania Brewing Domnpany would have to hold them harm tess if they sold it to ther with the uarantee of its being a xo alcoholicj severage. Neither of the persons visit ad by the offcials would deuiantly violate . ;he law, and w-e do not believe they have hi n the selling of this mild thirst-quench-1 3 ,r. If things keep on the government 0: ill require a revenue for the sale of ci nilk, money has to be raised to feed the $cers who are depending upon the ca amities of their fellow man for a liveli s1 iood. We are sure becoming Rlussianizt- d Ad fast in this government where citi :ens have the constitutional promise of .he rights of freedom. They Do Not Like It. The people of Sandy Grove are offend Ad because the county executive comn- I nittee made no provision for the candi ates to appear in that section. and they re threatening to stay away from the y >rimary because of it. We do hope thel !etermination to stay away from thel >rimary will be reconsidered, becauset( re are satisfied the people of Sandy irove do not wish to visit p)unishment tpon the innocent. There are a number4 >f candidates for offce who are in no way esponsibie for the action of the execu ive committee. as they are not members f that body, nor did they have any :nowledge of the action the committee 'roposed to take until the same was4 one. It is our undersianding that the rrangement for the two meetings to be nre at Turbeville, and the other at Sar-4 inia was the suggestion of the members f the committee representing those two lubs, and sections, and we thinic the4 ther Salem members of the committee rere absent: we are informed that Mr. T. D. McFacdin of the Sandy Grove4 lub was unavoidably detained from at ending the meeting, and had he been resent he would have insisted on his ection being one of the speaing points.I 'he situation now is that tne speaking program is fixed and in such a manner 4 r. will he tiard to rearrange it, however1 re earnestly hope that the voters td sandy Grove will not let the action off3 be committee cause them to dc candi ates an injustice by refrainin~g frotm ex reising the privilege of voting. Owns .C.. August 6th,0. Dear Editor:-I have sets.ea ies, and have driven over a iarize scope if these two counties. The farmers up ere certainly ought to feel very proud af their prospect for a cotton crop, as hey exceed any thing i have seen in :h I awet tier of counties in the State. In ~ tany sections the cotton aLveras~es fully + rais: high and it is well fruited Tho'g verybody is desponde-nt over the dry +. reather. Should it not ra'in soon the + orn crop w!!i be a failure, n.any :is j. .r burned to the top and no' possible : hance of more than one-fourth erop + :hi!e as an average through many sec ions the:: will do well to get a one-third , ron.

New, was received hire ye'terday that .avor William G. Gavnor had been shot while on the deck of a steamer about to depart for -:rope The de*ed Wa.. done by a formor cirzy tmploye named Janes .1. Gallagher who had recently been discharged fe- cause. Three shots were tired. but only one struck Mayor Gaynor. strikinz him behind the righ: car and inleting a dangerou?. though posibly not fata!. wound. Xt !:A' this morning the wo:nded mavor was resting comfort ably and no alarming sympoms had deve!4'yed. The- would-be c asi was strucki down by a cuard. diiarmed and lkoged in!prison. The on!y statement he naue was :o the e;Tect that .layor Gaynor had deprived him of his bread, and butter. it is said that he had written threatoning letters To Mavor Gaynor since his discharge. but it is not on record 'that he expressed anyi regret for his neglect of duty or in-I subordination. There is widespread regret through out the countrv at th is foul attempt to :ay one of the no;t prompt public o1icia!, of the time. and ene who is widelv -onsidered a :)residential ixos sbility. He Favors Local Option. The doctrine of Local Option is Jeff rsonian as well as among the purest f Democracy. Local Option implies the right of all free.neu to enjoy local ;elf-government. It implies that every voter shall enjoy the unquestioned right to cast his ballot for or against mv question pertaining to his locality mad interest. This is our view of To :al Option and if we viewed Local Op Aion in any other light we certainly would consider ourself unworthy the ame of a freemen and only a 5t sub iect to be a slave. Prohibition as operated in South arolina is the greatest farce imagine- I ible. Under the Prohibition regime we would like to know what is dry ter -itorv. We have often heard some nen say we ought to have free whis cey. If whiskey at this time is not; 'ree in South Carolina it is almost. It s free as far as this State derives any evenue therefrom. One only has to tand around any and every railroad! tation to South Carolina, in ooth wet md so-called d-v territory. and in Co ng so he can safely form his own con Iusions rs to the effectiven".s. of the rohibition law in South Carolina. Prohibition has never prohibited in ;outh Carolina. and we challenge the roof to the contrary. The people of Clareudon as well as I s the people of South Carolina gener- 4 lly. should consider the late ruling of udge .Iemmingeron the whiskey ques ion in South Carolina. According to , is decision the last vestage of the! ight of a people who claim to have a overnment "of the people, by the neo- e le and for the peodle" is wiped out. : We appeal to the voters of Claren- f on as well as to the voters of Southt 'arolina to- stand by Local Option in ae coming primary election and show ) the world that they will stand by the rinciples of Local Option, a God-given s well as a constitutional right and a rinciple that men fought. bled and C led for. Prohibition would be a good thing if measure of the kind could be effec- E ye. and for any legislation to be eftec- I ye, it must have public sentiment be-: id it. You can educate morals into! C eople, but you can never legislate Lorals into them We have so-called dry territory in at f ost thirty-four counties of Sueatl Car a. but any one can get all the biskev be wants in said dry ter tory. It was said that last ye'ar we ad Prohibition among forty millions the United States and yet it has~ een said that there was more whiskey 1: rank in that year than had ever beenA own before. Prohibition is a farce and will never i effective in South Carolina as long t sun, moon and stars shalt endure. GEO. R JONE:. Davis Station, August 5, 1910. Staggers Skeptics.
