Hiott Editor 1’i^ss and Standard: Please allpw me space in your valuable paper to reply to J no II. lliott First I will say 1 am very sorry I failed to .reply to his letter. I will now try to reply to Mr Hiott’s letter. Mr lliott says God did not make the evil things of the world. Now Mr Hiott don’t your bible tell you that God created all tkings, anti there ia no record that the -devil has ever created anything. Ton are giving the devil credit of jower that he is unworthy of. Genesis tells cs that God created all things good and perfect of their kind. John 1 3. “All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made/’ Ephesians 3-9. “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world hath keen hid in God who created all things by Jesus Christ” Col. I-1C. “For by him were all things created that are in the heavens and that are in the earth visible and invisible whether they are 1 thrones or dominions, or principalities or powers. All things were created by Him and for Him.” Acts 7-50. “Hath not my hand made all these things?” Heb. 3-4. “For every houfe is boilded by some man; but He that built all things is God.” How Mr Hiott you read your bible, and I have tried to tell you where you will find tb^ proof that God created all things. And again Mr Hiott I cannot swallow your plans of good < government. The anti-dispensary or prohibition. Political prohibition is nothing more or lees than free whiskey. The aati-dispensarites or at least the most of them are high license men from motives of self gam detrimental to the masses. During 1906 in you& home coun ty one of your anti-brethren was handling a petition and preach ing prohibition as you are when Con stables E C Beach and H A Patterson raided him and confiscated quite a quantity of whiskey. Another one of your anti brethren who is a towns man and '8 as deadly against the dis pensary law as you are but who had vowed that he could not vote for Senator B K Tillman but hoped to God that he would be elected, for “he had his doubts if he was not the brainest man in the United States.’’ He has repented ol the vow he had made, he went on to say that he wanted high license, for his town was run and his children were educated by the profit of whiskey before the dis pensary became a lav. How Mr Hiott you are at liberty to call those who uphold the dispen sary law as fit subjects for the lunatic asylum and all other ugly names that you can think of or manufacture. But let me say to you again, 1 would be glad to indelibly press it upon your heart, that the dispensary law is the best law that has ever been legis lated in South Carolina. No minor can purchase whiskey, there are no gambling rooms or halls, no pool table, nor a bottle is not allowed to be uncorked in the dispensary. Ladies can walk the streets of Walterboro with impunity with no fear of drunken^men. You know that of your own knowledge. Yes sir, Mr Hiott, good govern ment is what I want, bnt I will not try to vote out the dispensary law. Now, Mr Hiott, you yourself a few yean ago was an aspirant to legisla tive honors, and while on the stump daring the campaign yon hollowed and 1 shouted for I! K Tillman, and you even made declaration like this on the stomp, “I mm a 'iillmmnite from the crown of my head to the sole ot my feet, 1 intend to live a Tillmanite and when I die 1 want to be buried as one.” I would suppose that you are a Briceite now. I have some good news to tell you. He has gone back or lost ground in his own country, he is the man that is the father of all this discussion and it was all lor the purpose of getting Senator Tillman’s seau He will be voted to the rear with all of his local option scheme, and you being the man in the front in the county, you will also have to step down to the rear. Now in conclusion Mr Hiott, when I replied to your “Sand Hill Case” article I called yon brother all the way though thinking you were a baptist divine, I have learned upon inquiry as you did not return the compliment that you have long since left the Baptist church and unted with the Methodist church. They failed to give you a circuit, you loined the Camelite or Christian church. I understand you have left them and gone to the adventist and they have permitted you in their pul pit. It e^ems as if your religious iaith floats as well as your political faith. Now, Mr Hiott don’t you think it would be advisable to station yourself, throw out your anchor in your religious and political streams. The masses at large expects and de mands people to practice what they preach. Be ye sUtionery and tern perate ia all things. Yours, T H Caldwell. Notice.

Letter from R. U. W. Bryan. ' Editor Press and Standard: We see by yonr last issue that the Spinners and Cotton Growers are holding a meeting in Washington to confer in reference to disjwsition of cotton crop. E. D. Smith in outlining the object of this meeting on conference says: “The Southern Cotton Growers are in a position to dictate.” The cotton association seems to be trying to help or assist the Southern cotton growers, which does not consist only of the growers, but every body in the South —merchants, doctors, lawyers, manu facturers, carpenters, bricklayers, cooks washerwomen—and every body else is interested iu cotton. Now while everybody should be interested, but few show a disposition to assist in the work. And while the membership fee is only 25 cents an nually and 10 cents on each bale ginned. The people absent them selves, or neglect to attend the meet ings and by their conduct seem to say: “I want fifteen cents for my cot ton, but I wont help to get it as I am too busy, and if others get fifteen cents I will get it too.” Oh brother, what inconsistenc,)! Can you stay at home and content yourself while others are so hard at work for you and your family? It seems as if you would rather stay at home and take five cents than turn out and help to get fifteen cents for your cotton. Let this golden opportunity pass by unheeded and the chances are that the present generation and genera tions toiollow will regret it. For information, would ask our county president what percentage of the innumerable classes who are eligible to membership are members. Wake up my brother to the interest of $our family and to yourself, to your neighbors and yoqr country. Push ahead and remember that ve are what we make ourselves. May each one of us hasten to do our whole duty and see in the near future plenty and prosperity. God bless our people, and our country!

So many patent medicines and ad vertised cures aie uow offered to the public that onr readers should be glad to know the opinion of a man who has spent years in handling them and profit by his advice. Onr local druggist, Mr John M. Klein says, “After having sold drags, and all kinds and makes ot medicines for so many years,naturally we have learned somethmg about them—their value aud power to care, and we want to say to the readers ot The Press and Standard that if the people of Walterboro only realized the real curative and strength- creating power ot onr cod liter oil preparation, Vinol, we would not have clerks euough m our store to fill the demand for it.” Continued Mr Klein. “Yon nee Vinol is not a patent medicine, aud it actually contains all the life-giving, body-builu- iug aud strength-creating properties of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods’ livers, bnt without a drop of the •ytem-cloggiug. nauseating oil. Vinol makps rtcu red blood, aud tones up and invigorates every orgau iu the body. In the strongest manner v%& unhesi tatingly endorse and guarantee Vinol to increase the appetite, care stomach trundles, give streugin and renewed vitality to the aged, build up puny children and ran-down persons, make the weak strong, care chronic coughs, colds and broncuitis or refund to the purchaser every dollars paid for it. This snows oar laith in Vinol, and we can only ask the people of Walterboru to try Vinol on onr guarantee.” John M. Kiem, Druggiat. Notice.
