Tim people have been fooled again. ••We told you so.” In last Thurs day’s Pas ei.K, printed on Wedntsday, we predicted thst Northern capital would attempt the enlargement of truck raising In the South.” The afternoon papers of the Nth Inst, the same Thursday, published a dis patch from New York to the effect that a syndicate had been formed for the purpose of Inducing ‘'men with families in the cities to migrate to truck garden and fruit farms In fhe South. The Syndicate Is composed of Inves tors living In New York and their al lies and catspaw# In several Southern States. They say that there are mil lions of acres of nncultlvated lands In the South that can be bought at from «o to |K> per acre. We did not quite finish saying last week what we had in mind about the exploiting of the South by Northern capital. Other worries of routine cut short our prophecies of the evil day# le come. We hardly think that any line of In dustry and endeavor that promises profit will escape competition with toretgn capital. The merchant of small means will be an early target b>r the adventnrous stranger who <nd# business overcrowded In bt# higher latitude, ttml who must occupy a new Held or let his dollars keep long holiday. With larger capital than the home merchant can muster the new eomer will advertise that competition 1* tte life of trade, while the man of •mailer means will realise that it is the business wounding and death of the waaker competitor.

These art published below. Next week wa expect to present oontrlbu- tUrfts on the other side. To the Editor of Th* Rabtw*u, Pxf'rr.a. Kindly P‘W3»it me through youT paper, to place before the people of Barnwell county a few extracts from the, writing# of persons eminent In the service of temperance Reform. "ReformersTire strongly disposed to sd rocate some one remedy not only a# a •‘sure cure" but as 'only cure" hence the division of their ranks Into hostile camps which renders the needed co operation ini possible. .TosUh Strong. This does not mean that In the tem perance reform nothing should be at tempted because uoMiing can be done. It means thst we should undertake the practicable, and not Invite failure and nltlfnMt.e apathy by attempting the Im possible. Strong. To do nothing Is to permit thing* to go from had to worse T<> enact laws w'hlrh all exi>erienoe declare* cannot be enforced is to undermine popular respect for law. which I* to aggtaralo one of the most serious of our national evil*. Strong. I,aw# abolishing the liquor trallic are not self-acting. No law operative that ha* not a public sentiment behind it Hev. Purley A. Baker of the Anti M#i<*on I.eagO*. We conolndp that local option 1# the gradual and natural approach to the ultimate overthrow of the beverage Honor traffic. Baker. No mere local prohibition of the sale of alcoholic, beverage# will be success ftil. The federal government must quit nullifying the local law, and must exert It* own proper police power In the District of Columbia, the Colonies and the Territories at lea«t to publish the brand of It* disfavor on a business that I# against good morals, good health, good law s, good law-enfo^ce inenf, good education and good times. Meanwhile ever the whole plane of expediency and the immediate practica bility argument, the high white mono tain top of {ruth look# down, admonish ing that the one sore social service, out-working in every direction and resting not at all. day[or night, I* to cease In do evil, and learn to do well, man, woman, government. John G. Wooley. Local prohibition has succeeded pre cisely where State prohibition has sue .reeded, namelv In rural nnd thinly peopled districts, and In certain small town*. Except for certain suburban district*, where there I* an effective safety valve, In the shape of neighbor ing facllltlca for the purchase of drink, It I* broadly true to say that local vots In Amerlcr ha# only been fonnd opera tive outside the larger towns and cities. Rountree and Hhcrwell in ‘The Temperance i’robluiu and Social Re form.” Temperance. — ————— FAVORING TUK DLSI’KNSAKV. Liquor Is not the cause of Insanity and crime as many believe. Fast liv ing Is the true cause, whiskey the ex cuse. Liquors—like tire, strychnine and pistols are dangerous in the hands of bad men. The improper u«es of these thing* hsve caused a lot of trouble. All of the article# mentioned here are good in their place# and have been since the beginning of time. God made man and all things for the use of man. In M# law he f-etts u*how lo use, all things, lie tell# us that we should be temperate In all things, lie warn# us against using them improperly. Mbould the I’rohibltlon party succeed in gelling liquor out of tbe country men would substitute somotblng more Injurious to tbe mind. Taking all tiling# in consideration I think that I’rohibitmn would be worse than a failure. >V« have had It in Barnwell county and liquor was so plentiful that you could not tell any difference. Then why spend money and time trying to do a thing that wo know will make uo change for the bet ter. The character# and habit* of the present generation are already formed and If a man ha# not got the w ill power kinl moral courage to leave off drink it Is bad policy to make a law to force him to it. In nine cases out of ten It will make him worse. Better n*c some persuasion. Human nature I* the same In all age*. When you make laws that take away a man's privilege# that lie considers were handed dow n from hi# maker then he i* sure to rebel against them. I’ass a law to prohibit lh« sale of liquor and it I# equal to saying * man shall not drink Then 1 think you are out of the bound* of rea son. God made man a free agent. That being tbe case I think he ought to be allowed the privilege of sating or drinking if be pays for it whatever he like#. At tbe same time J dont believe in a inan’a making a bog of him-elf. Then again I dont believe thst the Prohibition party ought to want to take awray the privilege of all because there are a few hog# among u* I’as# a law to prohibit tile sale of whiskey and a good many more men will violate the law. Then where come# the good in Prohibition? He all know that I’rohlhiilon does not take the whiskey out of the country. It only mgke# it a little harder to get and the grade so bad that it will make a doxeu fight# and cause one or two funerals to every pint It I# an undoubted fact that the Dispensary law I* the host liquor law that we have ever had and It i* only the politicians and men who think they have not got their share of the profli* that have raised the howl. Against tbe Dispensary law such men say that the Dispensary law is not and can not be enforced. I say that we come a# near enforcing the dispensary law as any other law. It I# a .sad thing, but true never the less that men have come to believe that whete their interest lie.# the law does not touch them or If it. docs they know that with the fisc of a little money thev can carry th«!# point. 1 believe we ought to have reform In home government flist I think Prohibition is the wrong step. Reform should begin at home with tbe parent* of babies teaching them tbe rvse of all thing*. Teach them to ob serve your laws and they w ill not vio late the laws of the land. Teach them that all things come to those who labor and wait. Teach them pa tie owe, brotherly lov« and kindness The failure to t*acb these principles ha# caused all the trouble of off t late). The people of this country are living at the rale of 40 mile* per minute, uot w tiling to labor and wall for anything. Thev Uke -hurt cut* to get money. If they dout get It they take to drttrk. murder themselves or some body else and wind up in the penitentiary nr Insane asylum. Then it cant be truthfully said that liquor la the cause of the trouble. The cause la In tbo mail, Tlien I say you oiuat begin at the cradle to get the de feat# out of the man and If you want to do tbe present generation any good gas# a law to puolah all tbo*« caught under the Ir fluenea of liquor sod en force the same. Do this and you take a »t p in the right direction One in ora word In advice to parent*. Learn your children to work and keep them at It. There I# a whole lot of truth In the old saying that the idle brain I* the devil's work shop. If you keep them husr you will keep them out of trouble. Train them In the way thay ahould go and when thev get old they will not deceit from the right. Keep them on the farm arid away from temptation as miich a* possible until their character* and habit* aie formed. Teach them that to be a farmer In the true sense, of the word I* the most honnrnbler calling lu reach of nun and to be a farmer’s wife I# nothing beneath a queen. If these principles had been taught to children there would not be so much dissatisfaction and so many Drunkards and less emigration to the towns TBere ara other thoughts in connection with this liquor question. First the while in .in ha* said and done all he could to keep the negro laboring and dependent on hint for a living, second the Legislature baa repealed the lien law. third vote out the liquor, force the negro to economize and in a few \ear* he will own the land that he I* renting He is educating hi* children and in time to come ho w ill be eligible to vote, Ttien von will do the very thing vou hare lieen trying hard to keep down.

BATHING AT DIEPPE. When tbs Comtssss ds Bolflna Trtsd It In ths Ysar 1806. Tbe Comtes.se de Bolgue In her mem oirs give* un account of a visit she paid In 1800, which 1* Interesting In view of tbe position Dieppe Dow bolds among French watering places. •The poverty of tbe inhnbltnnta." she aaya, “was frightful. The Eng lishman. as they called him (and for them he was worae'than tbe devlll. was cruising Incessantly before^ their empty harbor. With much dltlleulty a bont was able to escape from time to time and go Ashing, always nt the risk of being captured by the foreigner or eonflscated upon the return Journey tf the tolewcopea of the watcher* bad seen It approach n vessel. - “Aa for the eomforta ’anSnced for the convenience of bothers which Dieppe has since organised, they were nonexistent nt that time. My brother wus side to find a little Covered cart, nnd with great trouble and grent ex pense. notwithstanding the universal poverty, n man was hired to lend the horses down to the sea and two wo men to go Into the sea with me. ‘These preparations raised the pub lic surprise nnd curiosity to such a pitch that my first bath was watched by a crowd on the shore. My servant# were asked If l had been bitten by a mad dog. “1 arou.*#*! extreme pity as I went by, and It wu3 thought that I wra* l(elng tskcTi down to be drowned. An old gentleman called on my father to point ont to him that he vrns assuming n grent responsibility In permitting fto rash uu act. It can hardly be Imag ined that the Inhabitant* of a sea shore could be so ufntld of the sea. “But at that time the people of Dieppe were chiefly occupied In keep ing out of sight of It nnd In protecting themselves from the disasters which they feared the sea might bring, so that It was for them nothing more than a means of annoyance nnd suffer ing. It Is curious to think that ten years Inter bathers were arriving In hundreds, that #i>eobU arrangements were made for their convenience and that sea bathing of every kind went on without producing any astonish ment In the neighborhood. “I hare thus attempted to point ont that the custom of sea bathing, which Is now so universal. Is comparatively recent in France, for Dieppe was the first place where It began.” TREE DWELLING ANTS. South American Insect That Acts as Plent Guardian. Ant defenders of plant* and trees nre some of nature's pretty marvel*. The Ocropla ndenopus is a remarka ble tree of south Brazil, widely dis tributed through the tropics. Its slen der trunk Is crowned with long leaves at the ends of tbe brunches. A few active ants run continually along the branches nnd the leaves, but If the tree Is shaken slightly an army of ants rushes out by small ai>ortures ready for a savage nssSult on the In truder. The ant Is the terrible guard ian that the tree has retained to pro tect It from Its most formidable ene my, the leaf cutter snt- The defenders rarely leave their re treat, where they live on small whitish egg shaped bodies alxmt one-twelfth of an Inch long, known a* Mueller's corpuscles. These are formed of deli cate tissue, rich In protelds and nil. as rations for the gntrloon of defender ants to feed np<>n. Tbe curious ar rangement by which entrance Is made to tbe hollow stem has been studied by W. Schlmjier. Just above the point of Insertion of each leaf extends nearly to the swpe rlor node ■ superficial groove, nt whose end 1# n rounded depression. There the tissue Is thin, like n diaphragm In a tube, nnd It also is soft. The hole by which the ant enters fs always pierced nt this spot. The ants seem to have made their entrance through the groove originally because It was nt the top. In the course of this plant's further development natural se lection augmented these natural ad- vantngew, so that finally the thin, frail diaphragm ns it exists today was de veloped.—Chicago Tribune. Married the Day They Met. Horace Greeley and Mary Young Cheney were married the first day they met. They had corresponded for some time, a common friend who was something of a matchmaker having brought this about. She was all his fancy painted her. hot she was much disappointed In his appearance, so much so that when he appeared be fore her. having proposed and been accepted by letter, she frankly told him (hat. although she married him. she was not In love with him.
