South Carolina is at last dry. In 188;' ihe yoter,. of the State rave over 10,000 ma jority'’for prohibition, and the state dispensary was substituted. This was followed a few years ago by the county Idispensary jsysteni. but fcv the vote yesterday, this system nuts* also go up. The new law will g6 into effect Jan. 1. The latest* returns available give prohibition 33.405: against prohibi tion. 14.345. The total vote of the State will possibly not amount, to more then 60,000. and the vote yetj to hear fritri will not change the result, but rather increase the ma jority. There are two counties seemingly which cast h majority vote against prohibition—Charles ton ami Dorchester. The txde ‘a Dorchester will doubtless be fonNpro-. hibition when the full returns are There were fifteen counties in wh countv dispensaries were operated, nnd' in every one of. them except] Charleston the majority will be prohibition.

But what r.re you doihg for if' The paper is always scheming, and planning and lab oring for a better community, for a pore, prosperous community. . ’ j • ,* Do you’ever exert yourself to give the paper ji boost? The paper is always pushing you and your people to the front, giving you a good word before your neighbors and the public, assisting yov to build up a reputation which will be^of inestimable value to you throughout the years of your life. - . But what are you doing? Are you reciprocating in any way? Do you ever suggest to your neighbors or your friends that it is a good paper, a loyal paper, and that it should receive their support? The paper devotes many hours and many pages in ad vertising the natural advantage the community—of YOUR community—and in seeking to enhance the welfare or YOUR community and of YOURSELF. But what of you? Do you ever seek to advertise the paper*, or to swe;!! its subscript if n list, or to increase its general usefulness to the community? The paper is working six days of the week for the community, and for you, and for yours. But do yoh ever devote .a minute of your time to i|ts material welfare? Have you ever done so? '. The duty of the paper is to* supply you with legitimate * -*rews of the tow n and community. But the paper Tiroes * much farther. Its labors in behalf of the community are * erdless and without end, and it w ill continue to advocate * the cause of community progress as long as it is a paper. * You are an importantfiart of the community therefore * its labors are in Y'OUR/hehalf. * 1 But are you dtnrig One single thing to requite the * paper for all of itytoil and*expense in your behalf? * You take thu/paper, you say. „ * True, and/you get more than value received each is- * due in the news items alone. The fund of information * * which the/paper hands you each publication day tor a * * cent or kWo would cost you many dollars if you went out* * to gather it up yourself. , , * tit thirds not ajkeK. nor a roast.
