October rallied to a new low for tho

amongst the straddlers and

just about as good as ho derives

few ?f tho folks, but what this old
country needs is 25-horsepower booze
with a Big Bertha kick to it. No-j
body ever heard a man that was halfshot
complain about hard-times. Our
citizenship demands, however, that
whisky should bo regulated.... which
means.... that nobody ought to have
the right to buy it except him. I am
a tee-totaler, and so is my Uncle Bud.

earn enough to pay the last bunch of

left for ine and my folks. One
of the senators suggested (in conference)
that the government reduce operating

more taxes, lie was promptly thrown

mr. jhon d, rockyfoller, pr.,
new york City,
deer sir:
from what i have read in the papers,
it looks like you have turned
over from an aunty-wot to an auntydry,
ami not- the ladies who have
benn running the prohibition flatform
will have to look* tffsewhere for monnoy
ansofort'h tp fight booze.
it is possibly cheaper to be for
whiskey than it is against same, but
i believe the wets will want you to
hepp them get wetter than the law
allows at pressent, and will call on
you for subscriptions as big as the
other side did.
tho whiskey question is a big
question, and so aro the bonus, .if
strong drink could be leggislated so's
the rieh man would pay 25$ a quart,
for his whiskey and the poor man
c.r>0 a quart for his whiskey, t'he difference
to go into the scholl tax, i
would be in fav\or of same.
we have a-plenty whiskey alreddy,
but it leaves a man and his wife
unfit to enjoy life the next day after
the night befoar. our bootleggers
ought to be required to furnish better
lieker or to be put under the fedderal j
control!, like the farm bored and the j
tariff, and let them appoint me a,
taster for the enforcement officers,
thereof.
i don't blame you for sw itching.
over:, i am straddling the fence my-1
self, we have so much crime now,
a change might not be for the worst, j
whiskey has saved a great manny j
lives down south though: the men j
who get drunk can not shoot verry
straight and they often miss their
targets. ... who dodge behind something.
?
jny wife is a member of the w. c.
t. u., so please don't print this-, if
she gets holt to mo flopping over
against the dry plank, i will bo thru
flopping for a while, i don't suppose
anny of yore filling stations will
change their policies, will they? if
i decide to make my mind up to become
a wet with you, i will rite or j

Death of Mrs. Smith
On July 3 God called from our
midst our friend and loved one, Mrs.
Susan Annie Smith. She was the
daughter of the late Newton and
Abbie Baker, of Mayesville', and the
widow of W. M. Smith, who preceded
her to the grave thirty years ago.
She was a beloved Christian wQman
and all of her seventy-two years
of life were spent in the service of
her Master. "Grandmaina," as she
was known to all, numbered her)
friends by those who knew her. She'
was a good mother and wife, u faith-1
ful friend and a soul who carried the!
love of God always in her heart.
For some time past she had been j
making her home with her daughter,
Mrs. J. I'. Lewis, on Haile street, and!
was visiting her son, Henry Smith, j
at the time of her death. He lived I
on the old home place, which she left j
about twenty-five years ago and had
returned for a visit only a few days
before her death. She died very suddenly,
being seriously ill only about
an hour, although her death was not
entirely a surprise as she had been
in failing health for a number of
years.
All of her brothers and sisters preceded
her to the grave several years
ago. She is survived by the following
children: Mrs. H. L. Atkinson,
of Bishapville; Mrs. W. T. English, of
Cassatt; Henry Smith, of Lucknou;
Mrs. J. P. Lewis, Mrs. G. W. Outlaw,
Arthur Smith. Walter Smith
ar.d Charlie Smith, of Camden; and
Leo Smith of Rock Hill. She is also
survived by thirty-eight grand children
and thirteen great-grandchildren.

Creek Baptist church near Bishopville
on Tuesday morning. FuneraJ
services were conducted by Rev. J. 13.
Caston, of the First Baptist church
of Camden, of which she was a member,
