The Orangeburg Timet and Demo
crat does not think that the whiskey
question has been settled by the re
cent elections and advisea that "no
jgreat expense be gone to in putting in
a plant to handle whiskey in this coun
ty. We look for the issue of State
wide prohibition to be made next year
in this State, and we believe it will be
carried by a large majority. Three-
fourths of the counties in the State are
dry now, and we believe they will in
sist on the whole State being made dry
when proper laws are passed by the
Legislature to carry the provisions of
the Webb Law into effect in this State.”
In spite of their attempts to discredit
the present administration, the Repub
licans have failed to bring about the
business depression that they predicted
would follow the success of the Demo
crats in the national election. Presi
dent Wilson has shown himself to be a
most remarkable man, one of the great*
est Democrats, many think, since
Thomas Jefferson. The following arti
cle from Bradstreets, New York, is sig
nificant of the success of the Demo
cratic Administration:
"Optimism, concurrent with good
buying, furnished the keynote for this
week’s trade report Visiting buyers
have held sway in most of the country's
leading markets, and while those from
parts of the drouth affected Southwest
have of>erated rather conservatively the
general run have bought with more or
less lit>erality In consequence, house
trade, especially in drv goods and allied
lines, hai broadened ;>erreptibl\

MfWUM Advwrttaor Praia— Prwawat-
m#*»t of Bornwoll Grand Jury.
The Edgefield Advertiser wa« very
favorably impressed with the recent
presentment of the Barnwell County
grand jury, as published in these col
umns a short time ago. The following
comment is taken from that most es
timable paper:
General reports of presentments of
grand juries are stereotyped in form
and contain but little other than refer
ences to routine work of sub-commit
tees. However, the presentment made
by the grand jury of Barnwell county
recently is a notable exception, and a
portion of it should be read in every
court room in South Carolina. Believ
ing that the opening paragraphs of
this presentment should be given the
widest possible publicity, The Adver
tiser reproduces them
Conditions have become almost in
tolerable in Barnwell county because
of the failure of the county officials—
"from the honorably judge down to the
most obscure lawyer"—to do their
duty. Having borne and forborne for
a long time, the citizens who com
posed the grand jury made bold to
speak their minds plainly, and in our
opinion they have not gone too far in
criticising the presiding judges. It
rests solely w ith them as t j w hether
a case shall Ik- forced to trial or a con
tinuance granted u[>on some flimsy ex
cuse devised by some designing law
yer. It is unfortunately true that the
Jieople have lost to a large degree the
profound respect for our courts which
they once had. the expression b«-mg

Tha Diapanaary Elaction.
The vote in the election on the 19th
inst. can leave no doubt in the public
mind as to the wishes of the voters of
Barnwell County. With a majority of
more than three to one in favor of the
re-establishment of the county dispen
sary it can mean only one of two
things: that people want whiskey and
the revenue derived from its sale, or
that they had grown tired of the non
enforcement of the prohibition law.
While the editor of The People has
heard numbers of people say that if it
were possible to have prohibition in
Barnwell County they would support it
at the polls, etc., it is a significant fact
that in Barnwell, where, in the past
few months, there could hardly be any
eomplaintof the enforcement of the
law, the vote stood 188 for and 40
against the dispensary.
It is aineeroly hoped by all concerned
ftaf a wise selection will be made in

Saved Girl’s Life
“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re- J
J ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes J
j Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. J
g “It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
_ liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught ^
^ saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles, ®
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s ®
' Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no J
JJj more trouble. 1 shall never be without j
BLack-DraugHT
J in my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi- J
jp ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar ^
Jp ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe, £
01 reliable, gentle and valuable remedy. 0
• If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black- #
J Draught It is a medicine of known merit Seventy-five W
? years of splendid success proves its value. Good for ^
a young and old. For sale everywhere. Price 25 cents.

appear for work wearing the slit, the

business-like and modest clothes.”

Sow Oats Early This Year.
It is not too early to begin planning
for getting the oats sowed early
enough this fall. Year after year oats
are sowed during November or left un
til February or March, that might have
been put in during the latter part of
September or during thr first half of
October, if the work had been better
planned.
It is better to sow oats in cotton, eith
er broadcast or in drills—two drills be
tween each row—early in October than
to sow them next February. It is al
ways a difficult matter for the cotton
and corn farmer to get the oats in early
enough, but every effort practicable
should be exerted to get them in before
the middle of October and in the north
ern part of those sections where oats
are sowed in the fall, they should be
sowed by September 15.—The Progres
sive Farmer. .
