Take my state- and Mr Beach's, compare scare. The time was, when prohibition was a theory, but it has become a •practical, visible and expei imental reality. Our sister States and sister Counties have gone into it, and they assure us that it is a success ard a blessing. Then why should we set up our prophetic vision and superior judgment against the experience of those who have gone so far in ad vance oi us? But leave the exper- ince of others out of the matter, and by a calm, broad, unbiased and logi cal viewr of the situation, we are forced to the conclusion that the number of blind tigers will be dimi nished by one half when the dispen sary goes out without any effort on the part of the officers of the law. I think it is safe to say that at least three fourths of the blind tigers in*the State are run by the Dispen saries, and when the head is cut off. the members will die. Just a few months ago the Mayor of Charleston issued an order that 41 Mind tigers who rabped to buy their whiskey from the dispeneary ehoukl be doeed up and oot of bott om. And yet Charleston preaches to the world that her ©(Boers State and Municipal are doing eveything ia their power to enforce the law. Then may we not reasonably con clude that what is true of Charlee- too, is true of other towns add cities, and what is true of the Dispensaries fa Charleston, is time of it in other Vote out the dtapeaeary and you win vote out half the blind tigers, than put men in office who are in armpethy with the nweement, and they will run out the other half. We need prohibitionists in evenr office from Governor down to Magis trate’s Constable. But the most important to us in Colleton tre Solicitor, Sheriff. Magistrate and Members of the Legislature. Now to the reader, let me say: wheare the caa^datee for Magis trate in jour townMiip? How do they on thisiseue? Look into this matter at once, and if jouy timber is not jurt what you mead, look around for a man who is alright. Inring him into the race, and get busy for his election. I>t ms by all means have true and tried prohibitionists as Magistrates, vote out the dispensary, and a blind tiger •could not live in Colleton any more than a Jew could Kve on a farm.

The present board consists of Dr. W B Ackerman, who fills Dr. William’s place and whose term ex pires in October 1911, myself who alone fills office to which he wes originally appointed and whose term expires in October 1910, Mr P M Murray who fills the place of B G Price and whose term expires in October 1908, Mr B G Price who fills the place of J F Webb abor iginally appointed and whose term expires in October 1912, and C D May. who fills the place of J Moore, as originally apppointad, and whose term expires in October 1218.

They have not established any rules and regula tions since the time of Intendant Black, and I don’t propose to be cus sed any longer for the bad health of town, without letting the public see where the fault lies, and 1 lay the whole matter before the new Coun cil for their action coming as they do, a fresh body’ who have no en tangling alliancea, and nothing which they themaelves have done or omitted to do, to undo, or to do now. 1 would limply say in addition to what I hive said that Mr E W Fraser, Jr., is an officer of the Board, as they have confirmed Mr Fraser’s election, and not an officer of Town Council, his salary hm been fixed by Town Council, and tacitly approved by the Board of Health.

An esential to a well equipped primary room is a cabinet contain ing books, music, chalk, pictures etc. Tables around which the children may sit during a part of the reci tation. and for hand work are a great convenience. Handwork on the part of the pupil is especially helpful. The idea is to have the child give expression in some way to the truth which the teacher had endeavored to make clear. Scrap book work, writing, draw ing, these are all excellent aids to the teacher in arousing interest and training the child. To carry out successfully all the work that this department requires, there should be provided a separate room, or at least a screened off portion of the main building for the use of the Primary Classes. Not only is the toucher much im pelled in her methods, but the at- teatibn of the child ia greatly dis- preeeuee of pupils of in the same room.
