The Rock Hill Record haR iustly made j
..a kick against -t?h? manner ill w-hi<Ui

#he cgunty, poiutaug out alpng t hin line
(hat. no pupe*.* except The lvuqnirer if
t allowed so much as $o.00 per year of
the patronage from the popntv wsit.
As u cause for this The Record states
.that there is a burgain l>etweeu The
Enquirer and t.he -Yorkville "ring,"
whereby the i?apcr hap waxed rioh unci
prosperous fpr many yeurs?aud in st.ill
getting the bulk pf the money .from
the county treasury. We had hoped to
see The Euqnirer reply to t he Record's
article, but were disappointed. Per
haps the statements of th0 Rock tiill
paper are too true for argument, or may
he The Enqnirer is too busy iu engineering
?h? matters ot the ring" fn
givo the matter notice. Be that ns it
mpy, The Hecprd comes very noar sizing
up correctly tho advertising matter
nt fchp etinrc hpuF". .Npt only do \vc
find very little legal advertising iu
t he papers ontBide pf the county seat,
but.it al^o appears that even in York
villp one of the newspapers, the
New Km, is also a victiip of the boycott,
seemingly because ;it does not
truokle to uud e^crt its influence in
the interest of the "ring.V There pre,
however, indications that all w.ill be
.different in the near fnttiro. People
are beaming wiser. *1 he dark spot s are
o.niiig to light and ere long the voters
will rise in their might pud effect a

We wonder how many of our hoys
realize that land is going fast ?boys
(brought np to think that in America
land can never -be acarce, that wpen
they have played put at everything
else they can somewhere got a piece
or land for nothing and the next day
be a prosperous farmer, can with difficulty
be n>ado to see it In I86f> there
were but little over #1,000,000 acres
under cultivation in tho United Stages
Today thp cultivated acres number
286,000,090 and these acres are not.
.only our best, but they are fast going
np in value beyond the roach of men
fi.t tunall means. Keen scented corporations
snuffing tho inevitable battle
.from afar, arc turning their attention
to land and greedily buying whole
,counties with no idea of ever letting
an acre go, but the boy who thiuks he
is mude for something higher looks
calmly on thiukiug there will he
plenty loft for him should )m ever
have to stoop for it. The sons of half
starved teachers, lawyers, tradors and
ill hern, ivlm ai-c nimnnpixufnl in thitir
.over crowded calling, are turning to
oar cheaper lands, sure to liud then?
what they nor their parents have
hnown never la-fore?truly independent
homes.
One thing can bo truthfully said of
,the teachers in our schools at the
presant time, and tpose employed for
the ensuing year, that their daily wullc
und conversation, and their moral
lives are such as to form a goo<l oxample
for their pupils. Our people can
rafely follow tho exumple of the
teacher. " Wheu the roll is .called up
yonder" the teachers of our schools can
all answer '* present." Good morals
and good maimers are taught in our
schools and the worthy example sot by
our present corps of teachers has a
great influence in moulding the character
of the youth of our little cUy.

eeodiug glad of the gourd. But God !
prepared a wyrru when the morning

So a dispensary' is to be establish

j Th* . *"? not in keeping with the

j then, the Kershaw condition will

Senator Cole L. Illease, of

A Dispensary- For Kershaw.
The town of Kershaw is to
have a dispensary in a short time,
according to the Lancaster News.
Kersh;. town is located on the
line of Lancaster and Kershaw
counties and has been without
whiskey since the dispensary
" as closed by the election in
Lancaster county some months
a go. Mayor Blakeney of Kershaw
petitioned the State board
to establish a dispensary 011 the
Kershaw side of the town and
the board granted the petition.
It was decided to have the dis|
pensar.v re-opened in Kershaw to
1 keep down the tiger business
| which was steadily increasing. I
Showing the Right Spirit.
Managers of a big spiritualist
camp-meeting at Anderson, Ind..
a few days ago arranged a program
in which Senator Tillman
and Booker T. Washington, a
negro educator, were put down
! for a debate. The plan failed to
materialize, however, for, upon!
learning of the arrangement.
Senator Tillman wired this:
"I am informed that arrangements
are being- made lor a de1
luj|ini.ii?iR()i||<^r W^ahinortw
' and myself at your place. So
| far as Washington following me
is concerned. I don't care, but I
I will not meet him on the platform.
If it is a negro equality
crov r' that I am to talk to. I prefer
cancelling the engagement.
I In reply to this the manager
wired Senator Tillman that the
, plan to have the negro present
had been abandoned.
The State Convention.
The State Democratic conven-'
tion met Wednesday at noon in
the house of representatives at
Crlumbia. The meeting was!
called to order hv State Chairman
Wylie Jones. The following officers
were elected: J. Wm. Thurmond.
permanent chairman; J.

?t. vjx ay, 1^1 CI 11, Willi J. 1. flU'K^
assistant; Col. T. C. Hamer,
treasurer, and .T. S. Wilson of
Lancaster sergeant-at-arms.
There wore no contests over j
th 2 election of officers and every- i
thing passed of smoothly. The
opening of the State campaign;
was set for June 19.
Resolutions were adopted en- i
dorsing both Governor Ileywacd j
and Senator Tillman.
The dispensary question, over J
which the last legislature had
such a lengthy wrangle, was not
brought up. but from reports
sent out it appears that had an j
issue been raised along this line, j
the friends of the institution1
would have had things their own i
w av.
Senator Tillman, who wasi
elected a delegate from Edgefield |
county, could not get off from I
his duties at Washington to at-!
tend the c ?nvention.
The Untied States government
has released the u4 barrels of j
w hiskey seized some time ago at1
1 hn Stflt-P it i?T?#?r?car>\7 anrl I
property of the Deep Springs i
Distilling company of Savannah j
It will be recalled that the
whiskey, valued at about $30,000,
was taken by the revenue department
because of failure to
properly state the tare or gauge
anil l*icause of technical violations
of the laws on these points, j
The proper statement has since
been made to the government
and an order has been received
from Washington to release the
whiskey. It will be turned over
to the State dispensary, the
purchasers, if arrangements are
so made with the state board
of control.

A Tribute to Dr. J. H. Thomwell. I
In his report to the Pythian!
grand lodge at Sumter on Tues- \
day. Hon. B. A. Morgan, the
retiring grand chancellor, paid
the following tribute to Lr. J. H.
Thomwell:
I "I have told you very nearly
; all. but one thing that I have
done more than any other I have
I not told. This one thing is the
j persistent requisitions I have.
I made upon our grand keeper of'
records and seals, dear Brother!
Thomwell. Day ancr day I have
'called him to help me, called him
i to tell me how to do and what to
I do, called him to go here and
i there for me. to do this, that and
almost everything for me. And
he did it. And, brethren, let me
in parting with him and with my
| office, tell him that I love him
1 for beinj? so gentle, patient and
painstaking v;ith me. and to
commend him to my successor,
I for in him he will find the happiest
feature of his many and
varied experiences as grand
| chancellor."

Dear Sir: Two and two make fonr?

Two gallons of water and two gallons
j of milk don't make fonr gallons of milk.
! Neither does four gallons of paint
| that's half lime, whiting, olay. and
I kerosene oil, make fonr gallons of real
' paint.
That's what we meau by saying
! "Fewer gallons; wears longer." It
| takes fewer gallons of Devoe lead*
; and zino than of mixed paints to paint
u house, and it wears twice or three
times as long as lead-and-oil mixed
by hand.
Mr. C-lias. Avery, of Herkimer, N. Y.
I bought 51 gallons of Devoe lead-aud
/.iiic to paint his five houses, his painter
huving figured that it would require
