SpurUnburg, Nov. —E<liu>r.— Pleue allow me through your col* umm to make aome report on the Temperance work iu South Caro'in*. For fix months we have been on the fi^n^g line, and in that time, we have »l|Jfc*' n Ka new, and oid, and have learned as we never knew before what it means to contend for civic right As we look hack over the field, we ate constrained to eay thank God something has been achieved iu our Oelo\pd Mate. Any m e who will take the pains to look over the personnel of our State Senate, wili note quite a change in that body. £ever-»l gentlemen of the oid Senate who stood for the dispensary system, did not make the race for re-election, and gentlemen of different views on the liquor question, will take their places in the new body. In other Conntics ahere former dispensary fcenMtor* stood for re elect iou, they were detested by gentlemen of pro clivitiea. In fact we lost only two Pronibition Senators iu tbe TutfsPilB re the dysseftk from many misery, aedeasble him to eat days of misery whatever he w SICK HEADACHE, cause the food to assimilate aed nour ish the body, give keen appetite.

Mary things sretranspiring through out tbe weole country to encourage us, and to ui^i* 1.0 on the VtcLnry. More than nine thousand barrooms have been tdowd in the United •States since January first. Accord ing to the report of the commissioner of internal revenue there has been a decrease^ because of the great Prohi bition wave (Li) year of 74. We have now nine whole states in 'the Prohibition Column. Only whole • , * ve •M** 8 ' n the Union are regarded State. It is encouraging wlso,- to note, that a large Majority of the men In the House of Representatives stand lor Mate-wide Prohibition. Hut tbe liquoi question in South Carolina is aot settled yet. The old dispensary faction is dying hard. At the next r pession of our Legislature, all sorts of «ioves will be made doubtless, to thwart the Frobibitionist in tbeir plana Some of tbe gentlemen elect ed to the Slate Senate, and also to the House, are in favor of State wide frhibition while othei favor referring the matter to the people us was done In North Carolina last spring* As Be see the matter from onr viewpoint, the latter is a better plan fer more than one reason. If we can have a State election, with all pereouul feu lures eliminated, and let the sov< r- fign voters of the State cast their ballots, for, or against the dispensary dystem, our victory will be 90 signal that it will make an impression upon the entire country. Moreover, it such an election is planned, the peo ple in every county in the >ta e, will be educated in tbe c .use of Temper ance through the meetings which would be held, and thereby create sentiment, which would go far to ward enforcing the law after it is passed. We have bad some iudica- 4ion of what can be done, and how the people feel, by tbe victories won in Laurent, Union, Clarendon, and ChesUr in the prat few days. A few speakers went intoeach of these coun- %i«s and held public mass meetings in tbe interest of Temperance, a few iays previous to the election, and While these counties may have gone Prohibition anyway, it is safe to say 4bftt a three to ettie vote would *not • ^ bate beta polled. We have now 2J Counties with seven-hundred tbous lid population in South Cardlina, Where no liquor is sold legally. Twenty Counties yet hold on to me dispensary system, but some of them only have one dispensary, lienee, it |l plain that the legalised sale of luor in South Carolina is being ly curtailed. We have arranged Dr. I*. A. Baker, tbe national riateudent of the Anti-Sfcloon Ltngue, to be with us at LmM&i, Heath Carolina, and speak on Sluday tefore the booth Carolaa ftanferenee the 29th, inst We 5 y hope that the people in .tde landing country, will make t to hear this noted Temper^oe idveoatest that time.

Will be especial ly invited to attMMT'tbie hs purely liquor states, while many others, becauets ol their local opUui laws, are sweeping everything before them. From Maine to California and from North Dakota to Southern Texas, the same cry “The rum saloon must go’ is heard. A t the present rate Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois in tbe near future, will sweep into I'rohibition column. We confi dently expect Texas to come into line at tbe next sesaiou of the Legislature. Many good suggestions have been made by several of the brethren in regard to the work in this State, and we are sorry that we have not been able as Yet to carry them oat. We hope soon to place in railroad waiting rooms in South Carolina, a large chart gi ing facts on Prohibition throughout the country. Hut just now the law enforcement department of the work is claiming wur attention. If outstanding subscriptions now due are paid we shall !>e able to make this work count for good throughout the State at once.

Harley, State SupL TOO WEAK TO WORK SUFFERED FROM STOMACH TROU! BLE AND GENERAL -DEBILITY. MRS. MINOR WAS WEAK. SICK. DISCOURAGED. RESTORED TO HEALTH BY VINOL “Last January I was all ran down in health and 10 weak that 1 was nn- able to attend to n y household du ties. 1 was very much discouraged with my condition, as I was reoeiv ing no benefit whatever from the medicine I had taken. Finally on the recommendation of my druggist I decided to try tbe cod liver and iron preparation, Vinol. In s abort time 1 felt better, and after taking five bottles my health was fnliy re stored. I have suffered from stomach trouble for years, but ainoe taking Vinol this tionble has entirely dis appeared, and I now eat better, sleep better and am better than 1 have been for a long time. Vinol certain- ly worked wonders in my oase, and I heartily recommend it to any one in need of such a medicine.'’ Mrs Har vey L Minor, Canal Dover, Ohio. With snob evidence of tbe power of Vinol to restore strength and vitality to all weak and sickly per •oos, do too wonder that we do not fear to say Try VinoL If it fails to benefit we will return your monev.

The groom wore a neat fitting black suit, while the bride was attired in a handsome tailor made suit of blue broadcloth. The happy couple have gone on a trip to Washington, D. C. and otlfer points. They carry with them the good wishes of their mauy friends. The Post Office Inspector came upon us unexpectedly the other day but found everthing all right. Miss Mae Rodgerejwho is assistant Poet-Mi stress, deserves and re ceived the compliments of the Inspector, for the very careful tnauuer in which the business of the office is conducted- It is a matter of surprise as well as re gret that a number of persous mail their letters ou the train, thereby depriving the Post Office of the little salary it is entitled to.
