The champion fire-finders of tho county may be found on fac tory hill. There are two of them. The other night they were sit ting on the porch of a resi dence occupied by one of them. Seeing a bright light just east ward of the house, they raised the alarm of fire, and started on a run to render assistance. Having ran until out of breath, they stopped to blow, when sud denly the rising moon stared them in tho face. That was enough, so they turned their ssteps homeward.

The thermometer at 52 on May 26th is a trifle cool, yet ours registered that on Tuesday, and it*s a warm thermometer too.

Zemp & DePass. Jndge Brawley's decision on the contract labor law reads like the arguments of some of these prohibition preachers and toot ers. It sounds well, but has nothing in the way of argument to back it up. ? "THE TEST. " If anyone has any reply to make to our remarks under that head, we want them to use logic and com mon sense, and not silly senti meut. It is an easy matter to talk nonsense. We indulge in it ourself occasionally, but only when the moon is wrong. School ' Closing. The closing exercises of the Camden Graded Schools will be held at the Opera House today, begiuing at 10:30 a. m. The usual interesting exercises of the Timrod society will be conducted on tomorrow night, the 31st. An admission fee of 35 cents for adults, and 20 cents lor pupils and others under 14 years of age will be charged. Reserved seats can be obtained from Dr. F. Leslie Zeuip. The proceeds from this entertain ment will be applied to the pur chase of books for the school library, and to the furnishing of the auditorium at the Qrammar school. Our space does not permit of the publication of the program in full, which however, we guess can be obtained from the other local papers. "Hello Central.** "Hello Central, give me Cam- 1 den." "Camden?" "Yes, Camden. " "Why, Camden is dead." "Dead! you don't say. What killed it?" "Oh, a lot of prohibition ists. (!)" / "Prohibitiouista, there ar'nt enough of the real kind to kill a m odium sized grasshopper." "Tnat's alright. The blind tiger gang and a lot of other folks wlfo drink under cover helped them, so Camden is dead, morally, socially and material ly." "Thank you Ceutral, I don't believe I wantCamden." The above is precisely what will happeu if the dispensary is voted out in the coming election. This result will be the D:iving away of trade, Diverting of cotton from this market, The breeding of a race of sneaks, Loss of credit and revenue, Increase of crime and im morality.

Editor, The People i The Colutnbia correspondent of the News & Courier of last week speaking of Kershaw County says: "It is said that there is little donbt that the elec tion (soon to be held) will go against the sale of whiskey, and this huS/beeu learned from men iu Kershaw who were the most ac tive heretofore in the attempt to S reserve the State Dispensary ystem; it appears too tliat in Kershaw as in other counties of the State the old State Ditpcntary faction have now turned prohibi tionists and will assist the old line prohibitionists to close the County Dispensaries. 1 The source of Information, or who those "most active men heretofore" were, does not con cern us, except to suggest won derment at such sudden changes of position upon a public ques tion which for twelve years past has been the leading issue of every political campaign both in county and State. Considering therefore the prolonged agita tion and discussion of the liquor question through all these years and the ample time afforded to reach settled conclusions upon the matter, it's hard indeed to understand how any considera* ble number of dispensary advo cates - should become so dis gruntled and disturbed in their views (just since the August Primary) as to join forces, and assist and vote for prohibition in the coming election. Such is politics. As an old adherent to the dispensary system, (run le gally and honestly by State or County) we still cling to the "old saw" it's the best solution of the liquor question ? and we still cling to that other "old saw" (with the present National Li quor laws existing) "that Pro hibition never has, and never will prohibit the selling, buying and drinking of liquor." We hud sincerely hoped that until another campaign year, at least, that the whiskey question was done with in Kershaw county, and it is unfortunate and unwise to our mind that in an off year it should again be revived to disturb public repose. How ever as the issue seems joined and must be decided ? we sub mit Mr. Editor that if the au thority is vested in the county Democratic Executive Commit tee, that it should act at once and appoint three meetings ? say one at liethune, Westville and ' Camden so that the people may have the opportunity of hearing the question freely And openly discussed ? it's a public matter of such vital importance, to our schools, our rouds $nd to every citizen of tb$j| county ^ that the largest vote possible should .be brought out. We feel assured that the meet ings suggested would draw the people, and arouse interest and that there would be on such oc casiou no lack of defenders for either side of the issue. We would endorse most hearti ly the letter of the Rev. Mr. Gor don published in your last issue. "It was the meat in the nut shell." Civis. Death. It is with a feeling of extreme saduess that we chronicle the death of Mr. A. Goodwin Jones of Liberty Hill. He died at his home on Monday, the 20th inst., typhoid fever being the immedi ate cause of his untimely demise although we are informed tnat that fell disease, consumption, also contributed towards a con sumation which all who knew the deceased most profoundly regret. Figures of Southern Factories. The figures of this census show that between 1900 and 1904 the factory capital of the South increased from $908,400,607 to $1,597,680,872, a gain of $029, 170,205, equal to 64.9 per cent. In the rest of the country the ad vance for the same period was from $8,010,858,953 to $11,088,. G28;801, a gain of $3,078,270,208, equal to 38.4 yer cent. The same figures show that the value of factory products increased from $1,223,319,051 to $1,787,969,824, a gain of $548,280,806, or 44 per cent, in the South, while in the rest of the country the gain was from $10,171,875,003 to $130, 014, 170,702, or a gaiu of 27.9 per cent. As in the ligures showing the gain in manufacturing capi tal add products between 1880 anc 1900 the South made the largest percentage of, increase, so these figures showing the factory growth between 1900 and 1904 the South again shows a very large per csntage of gain iu advance of the per centage for the whole country. Calculating upon the original basis of 1900 by the measure of ihe advance shown in the five years, it may be safely estimated that by the end of 1900 the capital invested in Southern manufactures had increased at least to $2,000,000, 000, and the value of the pro ducts had approached $2,500, 000,000. ?
