It was well attended to the last, and was doubtless of benefit to the pupils. One branch of study in the course did not uot sttike us as of much value to either a town or country teacher, and in this opinion we are joined by a ma jority of the pupils. We refer to the poetry branch which con sumed much time that we think might have been devoted to studies of a more useful nature. The City Water.

What does it mean? llan any- 1 one within the Humid of my voice at- j l J tempted to found the depth* of these ' ^ | two queries? 1 will tell you inj opinion i as of one who has only scratched the I surface, that it is a device of the d??v il, ' allowed Uy lite Almighty to com* Into ' being and active forcc some fourteen ? years a^o. 1 true meaning is still j XY.thheid from us. liood christians ! ;?'M thul man works out nis own *-it- 1 valiou, so it may ???? t :i;it tins question has been allowed to sever t riendslop> i of a lifetime, to cai;.-e great sorrow! and heartburnings, to make the fin:.n- . eiai lot tunes of r.;?eals, and to mar the ) honorable amtution of aspirant* for! p!a> c? i>l honor in our State and i oumy \ ^overntneiit merely a part ot a plan j to c\eutually. bring us all together,] ea? li seeking oniy the be>t as i oi.ccrn< ! human a!lairs, all at last hrromin^ unit Oil tie* issue. * If these deductions are correct, it! strike* me that now is the time for all the people to Ret together and settle the question once for all. I think that ? majority of the people of Kershaw county havt' become convinced that the present method of handling the liquor question is not the best way. I believe further that a majority of i the best people of South Carolina are I at heart in favor of wiping the liquor j Ira file oil' every foot ;>f the State. I'n fortunately, the llnaueial feature of the question, together with the equally unfortunate feeling of certainty in the minds or many that "prohibition will not prohibit," stands in t-lie way of that Kind of settlement. The only recourse then, is for every good citizen to bend hie bett efforts to bring about the best present solution. That solution, in my judgment, is, the abolition of the present system of handling whiskey by State control, and to place that control in the hand* of the authorities of the various coun ties, but allowing every county the right to say whether it wants prohi bition or county dispensaries. This, I may say incidentally, 1 do not regard as good democratic doctrine. That doctrine is distinctly opposed to mo nopoly of any kind, and it expressly denies the right of a State or muni cipality to monopolize the sale of any article of commerce to the exclusion of any of its citizens. There! ire, from a democratic point of view, high license, or license, Be it high or low, only is truly democratic. The fact, however, that whiskey, from its nature, comes directly under the police control of any community, removes the ques tion of how to control its sale beyond the pale of party orthodoxy. That be | ing i he case, 1 unhesitatingly endorse county dispensaries as against the Slate dispensary system. The advocates of a continuance of the Stale ilispeiisary system |?lca?l with you that they are going to iik- ] roitM it, to cut out those f ester i in sures that are making the name of [South Carolina a subject, of ridicule, and bringing discredit on you, on me, and oil altfvho hold the gooil name of their Mate as priceless as their own.
