THE BICYCLE RACES.
FIRST DAY OF THE MEET A
GLORIOUS SUCCESS-
A Large Crowd Present and Six Inter
esting Contests—The Races, the En
tries, the Winners and the Prizes.
The first meet of the Florence
Track Association was held at their
splendid track yesterday after
noon. Crowds of people attended.
The grand stand was filled to over
flowing; so were the bleachers, and
many stood up. The races proved
to be intensely interesting to those
who had never seen such things,
ana in the abandon of their enthu
siasm the whole audience wculd
rise en masse at a close finish.
The races were speudidly con
ducted. The judges, the umpires,
the track clerks, the timer, the
starter, the scorer aud the referees
all did their work well. There
was no coufusion, no disorder.
The track, than which there are
few better, was smooth and hard,
and the wheelmen were made con
spicuous by their quiet demeanor
and gentlemanly bearing. All in
all, the Association is to be proud
of the first day of its first meet.
Below are the name of the races,
the entries, the winners and the
prizes:

Lemons ns Medicine.
They regulate the Liver, Stom
ach, Bowels, Kidneys and Blood
as prepared by Dr. H. Mozley, in
his Lemon Elixir, a pleasant lemon
drink. It cures biliousness, con
stipation, indigestion, headache,
malaria, kidney disease, fevers,
chills, impurities of the blood,
pain in the chest, heart failure,
and all other diseases caused by a
torpid or diseased liver and kid
neys—nine-tenths of all the dis
eases of the South and West are
caused by the failure of the liver
and kidneys to do their duty. It is
an established fact that lemons,
when combined properly with oth
er liver tonics, produce the most
desirable results upon the stomach,
liver, bowels, kidneys and blood.
Sold by druggists. 50c. and $1
bottles.

Mr. Huggins is a first cousin of
Mr. M. B. Huggins of this city.

I was troubled with constipation

without success. This last winter

some of Ramon’s Liver Pills _ and
Tonic Pellets, remarking that they
were the best on earth.’ I laughed
at the idea, but purchased oile

of the people are in peril, we deem
it not amiss to sound the tocsin of
alarm to the voters of Florence
county.
We have just passed through an
election, the result of which shows
the total obliteration of factional
lines. We are once more a united
people. Shall we remain so, or
will we by giving life to the fallacy
of prohibition cross the Rubicon,
ami again unfurl upon the soil of
South Carolina the banner of dis
cord, strife and animosities. This
is the issue presented to every
voter at the coming primary. The
election of Ellerbe settles the
liquor question and removes it
from politics; the election of
Featherstone puts new life into
the hopes of the liquor element,
as it means the issue of liquor in
every election for years to come.
We all know what this means.
The history of political campaigns
marks those as the most bitter
where the question of liquor is an
issue. We do not mean to say
that Mr. Featherstone and many
of his supporters would willingly
plunge the State into strife; their
ideas are no doubt pure, but fol
lowing an ignis futuus they know
not where it will lead and when
too late they will realize that they
have made matters worse instead
of better.
Prohibition is a delusion. In
principle it is wrong, in practice it
has always been a failure. The
Bible is against it. Christ changed
water into wine. God required
drink offerings at his sacrifices.
The vineyard is more commended
in the scripture than any other
j species of property. The idea of
Pitts’ Carminative aids digestion,
regulates the bowels,. cures cholera
infantum, cholera morbus, dysen
tery, aud all diseases of the stom
ach and bowels. It is good for
both children and adults. Sold by

their piety ends and they begin the
fight for the restorution of the bar
rooms or licenses. This is no
fancy picture drawn from the im
agination. The looker on in Vi
enna will on election day see at
the polls the devil and the saint
Uoth beat upon the same purpose,
the destruction of the dispensary.
This fact should put men of under-
standing to consider. Certainly
their enils are not the same, nor
do they expect the {ame results.
This is a fair summary. If you
wish your taxes increased, if you
want to see bickerings and strife,
if you want to st'e our people di
vided, and, if you want free liquor
and blind tigers at every cross
roads, vote for and elect Feather
stone and this will result. If on
the contrary you want good feel-
ings among our people, if you
want the liquor question settled
and removed from politics, if you
want to see our boys educated up
to total abstinence and the evils
of intemperance minimized, then
elect Ellerbe governor.

Mosas particularly extolled the
grapes of the promised land, yet
there be some in the blindness of
their infatuation, who pervert the
scripture and with an isolated
passage as their authority proclaim
that the Bible teaches prohibition.
The Bible teaches temperance,
not alone as to the use of strong
drink but in everything. The gifts
of God are given to man for his
use not his abuse. The Church is
supposed to be the educator oLthe
masses of beings spiritual, and, if
the church in its nineteen hundred
years existence has failed to eradi
cate the evils of intemperance, is it
not folly to turn the matter over to
the State with hopes of better re
sults?
We all admit the evils of intem
perance. The dispensary law was
passed, not to entirely cure, but to
minimize the evil, it has made
considerable progress under the
most galling fife of opposition that
ever has been directed at a statute
and now that it has come out of its
legal fight victorious, and when
the field of goyd is open, an attack
is made in the name of morality.
Mr. Featherstone is made to ap
pear as an advocate of religious
principles while Gov. Ellerbe is
catalogued as an apostle of the
devil, when in truth, if the tradi
tions of prohibition fights are to be
taken in evidence, their places
should be reversed. Not that we im
pute impure motivestotheadvocates
of prohibition, we. believe some of
them are sincere, but with false
premises they are bo«nd to reach
erroneous conclusions, and as a
result of their labors >they are
more apt to restore bar rooms or a
system of license to individuals* to
sell liquor in any part of the State
than to get what they are working
for. In that event they would be
found innocently enlisted in the
cause of the devil.

expenses. Prohibition would en
