DISPKXSAKY PROFITS.
The disbursement last week
by tho Kershaw County Dis
pensary Board of profits for the
quarter ending June 29th, reliev
ed the financial situation in the
school, county and municipal
circles to a considerable extent.
fThe school district No. 1 was up
;to that time, practically ex
hausted. The city too, needed
?he money .badly.
In the facc of these facts, we
fail to see the wisdom of elimina
ting tho greatest revenue pro
ducer wo have ever had for the
holding down of taxes. This is
said irrespective of the so-called
xnoral aspect of the quostion.
We refuse to admit any moral
aspect to it, and repeat that
THE ABOLISHMENT OP
THE SYSTEM OP COUNTY
DISPENSARIES, AND THE
SUBSTITUTION THEREFOR
tOP BOGUS PROH 1 B I T I O N
WILL BE FOLLOWED BY AN
INCREASE OF ILLITERACY,
ACTUAL CRIME AND GENE
RAL LAWLESSNESS.
Wo are slow in forming opin
ions affecting matters rcligous,
moral or material good, but those
opinions onco formed aro as
lirra and unyielding as are the
Jaws of fate. Ridicule, the ef
forts of 1 1 iG petty jealous, tho
would-be arguments of the senti
mentalist, the appeals of the
truly sincere, and tho wiles of
the self seeker are not worth
the weight of a feather with us.
,Our faith is founded upon tho
rock of common sense, and not
upon the sands of sentiment or
.self inlerost,
CJOOI> UOAD8.
Good roads is a subject of
which wo nevor lire. It is, or
soon will bo tho question of the
hour. That our people are pro
grossing favorably along the
Jine of securing them however,
is a matter fur congratulation,
Wo aro basing our remarks upon
the words of Hon. A. K. Sanders
of Rafting CrceK Township,
Bum tor County before a moot
of the Chamber of Commerce
which was held at Sumter 011
tho 11 tli ins!., to discuss the
subject. The speech by Mr.
Sanders is especially significant
in that it indicated thai there ex
ists in this community a mis
taken idea of the condition of our
roads, or, that Mr. Sanders has
conceived a mistaken idea of tho
condition of the roads iu Sumter
county. However that may be,
wo aro glad to note that the
city of Camden is gaiuing, and
not. losing trade because of the
bad condition of the roads lead
ing between the two points,
jCainden and Sumter.
Tho 'following is tho extract
from Mr. Sanders which wo
/quote from the Columbia State
of tho 18th inst:
Mr. A. K. Sanders of Rafting
Creek township said he had given
the question of roads considera
ble thought and study. Some
thing should bo done immediate
ly. The people who are forced
to use the roads could not wait
on the county ohuingaug any
longer, llo said that In? was in
jlobted to Supervisor Seal but
that thoro was room for Im
provement. Moro system, ho
thought, would help matters in
road work. Homo qt the farmers
111 his community go to Camden
to tnido becauso the rouds in
j.hjit direction are hotter than
those toward Sum tor. Bo fa
vored a 1-mill lovy, but wan op
posed to a bond issue for road
work. He thought that the
main thorough fares should ilrst
be improved and Uien the othors.
Now, this is pleasant and re
freshing. The only trouble about
it is, that our information con
ieerning the Sumter-Camden
roads does not tally with that
given our friend Mr. &ai^ers.'
To be plainer, (wo from infor
mation received) are compelled
to believe that those roads are
in a more atrocious condition
than any lino of roads in the
county barring those leading to
iJisliopvillo and the Lucknow
section. That is alright though.
If wo get the credit not due us
for good roads, and arc securing
the trade of Sumter county citi
zens because of that mistaken
i idea, so much the bettor for us.
But, wo would like to see some
of that trade.
I
UN TItE POIS, VE.
It is a queer thing that poople
will continue to dream instead
of knowing. As an instance that
the average man lms not the
faculty of prognosticatiousness,
we recall an incident that came
recently within our personal ob
servation! A friend of ours went
afishing. His luck was bad. He
was using a pearch hook, and
from the frequency of the bites,
it appeared to him that a shark
was biliug. No shark appeared
upou tlio untroubled surface of
tho waters as the hook was ap
pearently too small. The mam
mal, whatever it was, pouched
all the bait. Undaunted,
"And with blood in his eye,
Full determined to do or die, *'
ho returned to that hole m the
pond the next evening and suc
ceeded in capturing the shark,
which on examination proved to
be a gigantic YVarmouth of about
three quarter pounds weight.
Satisfied that he had had bis
revenge on the bogus shark of
the previous evening, ho threw
his line into anothor hole in the
pond, a hole that had been
recommended to lnm, and met
with tlie same luck as the eve
ning before. Another shark
pouched all his bait and there
was no ripple on the water.
Those who have never under
gone the experience as above
cannot understand the venomous
feeling that found lodgment in
the bosom of our friend upou
the repetition of the outrage to
which ho had been subjected.
Ho returned to his home after
I marking the hole in the pond,
J returned the next evening, drop
. pod his hook into that hole, and
after ropea ted efforts, pulled out
j a giinzabuz coolcr.
The abave, readers is a fair il
lustration of the liquor question.
It is an illustration founded upon
actual fact. A number of you
went to the fish pond of truth,
virtue, religion and morality.
You cast in your lines iu the ex
pectation of catching a shark,
the lung of fishes. Instead of
the shark, which, in this instance
represents actual prohibition,
you caught the Warinouth, u
fairly good tisli representing the
State Dispensary. Still being
uusalistled, you want to concludo
your fishing experience, after
throwing away a qualified and
far better solution of tho liquor
qucsliou m the shape of County
Dispensary by catching a stinca
bus coo tor iu tho form of bogus
prohibition.

FARMERS UNION NOTES.
Something Doing in South
Carolina.
The highest move in the inter*
est of the S. C. Farmers ever
known is now on. The Parm
er's Union, Cotton Association
and tlio Clemson Agricultural
College Car, are all out; each
waging a separate campaign of
their own. Each set of speak
ers are vieing with each otlier
trying to do for the farmer the
very important thiugs that the
farmer nas in a general way fail
ed to do for himself.
If we arc not mistaken in the
signs of the times ? that old saw
about the "down-trodden farm
er" will be blown off the face of
the land of S. C. The trend of
all these movements in the in
terest of the farmers in eleva
ting, onward and upward to a
higher plane. The less inform
ed are being brought up toward
the top, and no one ueed go low
er but all interests move upward
with the farmer.
We "will be delighted to hear
of ail the farmers going out to
these very instructive meetings.
No chance to lose anything by
going out to these meetings.
Can farmers set prices on their
own crops? Yos, they can. If
farmers do not set prices on
their own crops, some other
folks will do it for them, why not
farmers do it?
It's tunc for a change. Far
mers take care of your own busi
ness and let the other fellow do
the quarrelling, sweatiug and
cussing awhile.
The whole trend of the educa
tional feature of the Parmer's
Uuion is leading Southern Farm
ers to a permanent higher level
of prosperity and right living.
Southern farmers that farm
right and raise their own food
crops can afford to eat and live
off his own products while he
holds his cotton and waits for
profitable prices, while the cot
ton bear is compelled to buy all
that he cats and uses while he
waits. When this kind of game
is on to a finish, who will sturvo
out first,

Do you wish information and

Do you want soine officer ol
