I am really a bit sur prised at Willimas, though, for we though: she was “one of us,” but are all prone to err sometimes, and we sincerely hope that she will not be dis appointed again, as we fear the owner of her auto will be discovered in some cypress swamp instead of deep bottom, and I am quite sure that if we have many more violent “storms" that "Ruffin and June-bug” will have to "light a rag.” W e were very sorry to hear that Williams had been trou bled with fever. We have* not been Ixxthered with that terrible disease, but we have had a plenty of chicken-pox and measles, still I-have not heard of airy rheumatism, but I think if things get any worse it will develop into nervous prostration. ‘•Ruffin and June-bug.” . —. .— * ^ • Tortured On a Hotm;. •‘For ten Aears I couldn’t tide a hors** 1 wi'hout bcimr iu torture from | i e«,” wri'ea L 8 Napier, of Kujjlese, Kv , '•when all doctors and other remedies failed, Uucklen a Arnica Salve cured me " Infallible for Piles, Purn*.

The last issue of your paper was one of more than usual interest, ami i would like to hare a little say in the matter myielf. The liquor question bps been airel so freely until I will not discuss it, in fact most of Y° l, r writers have nothing new to say on this subject any way, but simply writ** to show what side they are ou. I wish how ever, to say that a man who will write for prohibition and talk or pray or preach for prohibition, and tb< n draws the line when asked to pay for prohibition, his prohibition is of tfie spurious kind and the enforcement of the law could not be left his tribe. The man who truly believes in the prohibition principles, and believes it to be the great panacea claimed for it, is willing to spend and be spent for it. But it is stock law, Mr Editor, that concerns us most just now. The accountrof last week’s meeting was amusing to me to say the least. Those fellows never would have met if the people on the line had combined to build flte line fence, and most posi tively, there would have been no oe- cusion for a meeting, <f after the elec tion. some time ago this meeting had then fx-en called ami ways and means provided for the building of the line fence.

This local started out with sixteen charter members. The following officers were elected: Dr J T laylor, President; E Tavel, Vice-prsi- dent; S G Taylor, fc*ec*Treas; J F. Linder, Chaplain: L J Mes- servey, Conductor: W J Perry, Doorkeeper; A E Kearse, Busi ness Agent. The time for the meeting of this local is the first and third Wednesday at 8 o’clock P« M. at the school house. The following delegates were elected to the County Meeting: J. R Fbx, W J Perry, and C H Platt. Dr Taylor, the newly, elected president, assumed charge of the meeting, and in a few brief re marks expressed the hope that this local wonld do much to bet ter the condition of that section of the country. Why does not Bro. Johns write oftener? What ip the matter *ith the other Sec-Treas? DOTS FROM RUFFIN. Ruffin, July 10. Special: —The spicy littie piece from the town “Don’t Worry,” reminds me very much indeed of the experience of one oid brother, who was called on in church to tell what the Good Lord had done for him. The old fellow, who had been paralized, arose with a long drawn face and said; “Wall, he’s jest about ruined me.” I think it readily applies to our neighboring towns, for 1 think we have “mighty nigh” ruined some of them, as they are continually trying to knock us, when we have not made the slightest reference to any of them. Smoaks is the only town we have mentioned, and FARMERS’ UNION DIRECTORY it is such a thrifty little busi- NATIONAL. : n ess centre until we. could not * but congratulate them through the columns of the Press. We regret very much that you did not have space in last The usefulness of your Local Union depends upon good attend ance at the meetings. To get a good attendance yon must have faithfnl officers. The success of any organization depends largely upon leadership.-Carolina Union Farmer. The County Fanners’ Union held its first monthly meeting at the court house on Monday. The charter has been received and everything^!* iu working order. Deputy Organizer S F Parrott was to have been present but was detained at the last minute.

Our program was succssfully carried out, and too much credit cannot be given Miss FTshburne, for she is second to no teacher in Colleton, yea in South Carolina. Misss Fishburne offered a premium for the scholar im proving most in writing during her school, which was won by little Miss Ruby Remley. The school, to show their love and gratitude to their s.iy what wv will give. It is unjuat to exi*<-t the men living on the line to keep up the line fence and th?ir own. The benefits derived does not equal the exp *nse incurred. 1 do not blame them Tor what they are doing. Personally 1 prefer exemption. 1 have good fences and I will keep them so regardless of whatever law prevails, but some of my neighbors have not even an apology for a fence, and while they do not shut up stock, they shoot them up, which is worse. So I signed for stock law, Mr Editor. The cousumation of the whole matter is just this: If we cannot force people to keep up their fence and cannot tax them to keep up line fence, then the line fence will have to be moved to a place where the people want exemp tion and are willing to go to the necessary expense themselves to have it, and not expect it at the expense of someone else. If this is not the \aw x then it ought to be. Phil M PadgetL Williams, July, 5.
