The State Dispensary Law for!
, the irnvtM'timenial regulation of
liquor in Sontli Carolina, went in- !
lo elTect in 180*1. At the end of
eight years it is possible to tabu- !
late fairly the results obtained, and
to compare them with what has!
boen aeheived in the prohibition
States. In Frank Leslie's Month- '
ty for January, Senator rl i 11 man
publishes ti vigorous article in defence
of the law with which his
name is so closely associated. As
I his argument is based on f^ctsatidl
i tigure-, he shapes tim issue Mjuare-1
I Iy, and both the friends and ene1
lilies of the law will read liisgrticle

A Neighbor's View Of It.
The Hock Hill Journal gives the
following accouut of the smallpox

The Fort Mill authorities are
said to hu e given up the jo) of

nation there an a had, unprolitnhhdisagreeable
and impossible job.
They did not provide for compulsory
vaerinatiop, but after an expert
had reported two blooming
cases they provided ft?r a qnarantine
of the patients, which was successful
for a short time only.
These two patients after they had
been placed in a house patrolled
by armed guards promptly sent in
a bill for about $50 worth of rations
which marked the beidnninjjj of
the end of the quarantine.
A short time a ter this some
cottqn mill people were seized
with a desire to visit their friends
in quarantine, and defying the]
irnar<is who threatened to shoot |

Tlit* 11 another enso developed, that
of a woman. When alio was told
ihnt she must go to the pest house
she had several columns of opinion
to deliver, which being Hummed up
and boiled down might well be expressed
by the woid ''nit" in bold
face black type. She indicated
her willingness to go kicking and
squalling. The author tics were
deeply but not favorably impressed
with the picture sin* painted of;
what would happen and nave in to
her. The public schools have
been closed on account of the
disease,
The Journal does not seem to'
profit much from its "esteemed
contemporary, The Congressional
Record," but it seems to rather
show the influence of a certain
yellow Journal in New York with
a familiar name. However, the j
Journal conies pretty near expressinn
the spirit of the occasion.

The Marriage of Two Popular Young !
People of York and Mecklenburg
Couqties.?The Reception.
The crowninir event in the lives
of two of the in?'Bt popular young (
people iii this section was eulini-; i
iiuted last Wednesday evening in
the nmrriace of Mim Fun in a Ar- ,
drey, daughter of Capt. \V. K. ! :
Ardrey, of Ardreys, to Dr. J. L.
Spratt. of this place. The nnptial ;
scene was enacted at the residence
of tiie father of the bride, which is
a typical example of one of those
splendid old country homes, the i
luxurious comfort and liberal hospitality
of which one often reads,
lint seldom meets with nowadays.
Few le h than a hundred rein-1
tives and friends braved the extremely
cold weather to be present
at t his arrest social event, but once '
within those comfortable portals, 1
the bleak Dec- mber without was
eliminated l?y the great h>^ "fires,
whose fierceness penetrated every
remote corner of those spacious <
rooms and halls, and by the j<>y
that liuht d up the faces of thoS'-ll
whose intense interest lav in tIt * i
welding of two lives, within whom* I
young hearts burned the one love !
of a lifetim . ! i
Promptly at tlio appointed hourjI
the sweet and solemn notes of the <
wedding march, Hounded by Mrs. <
W. M. Ardrey, announced the approach
of the bridal pair into the |
parlor, where the gues's weie as- ,
sembled. They entered un.dlend- j
cd and took their place upon a
snow white rue in the centre of
tin1 room. Rev. (J. 11. Sprinkle,!
the pastor of the bride, stepped ,
forward and occupied a similar ,
rati a few feet in advance, and ,
from there the appropriate wools i
were pronounced which hound the ,
lives of two whose hcaits were al- i
ready one. Sometime was spared I
for the hearty congratulations that
followed and then the doors of the
two largo dining halls wero thrown
open and the guests were invited
to partake of a most elegant wedding
feast which was as bountiful
as it was attractive. <
The best wishes of a ho#t of
friends is felt for Dr. and Mrs.'(
Spratt.. He is one of the most
p pillar and ino.-t promising yourjg i
men of this section and he has 11
plm-keil one <>t tliii choicest tiuwersj
of womankind. Jj<

Thursday evening the
festivities of the day before
followed liy ii reception givetitVP
honor of the hride and groom by i
the parents of the latter, Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Spruit, at their hospitable
home. There were about
sixty-five people present and it
was a delightful occasion. A magnificent
supper was served. They
received innumerable and cost I \
presents, which attracted a great
ileal of admiration. However, >
there was one exception. It was
a cheque for $50 and remained 1
snug in the groom's p >eket, along
with several presents of gold coin.
The cheque was from Mr. Leonidns i
Spratt, of Florida, to Mr. Leonidas
Spratt, of Fort Mill.
For tin' present Dr. Spratt and
his bride will reside with his;
parents, but will soon begin.housekeeping.
