The State Prohibition Executive
Comniitteo would present a few facts
and propositions for the consideratioh
of tlie voters of South Oaro'ina
as justifying tlie appeal which we
made to them to support the present
V ...
movement to secure the prohibition
of the liquor traffic in our State.
That this traffic as now fostered
1 ?y governments, protected by lawr,
entrenched by custom and long usage
is the producing cause of at least 7o
per cent, of all the pnuperism, vice
and crime which u111ict the State;
that it is the nucleus of impurity,
anarchy and moral and spiritual
death and that it imposes enormous,
avoidable burdens upon individuals
families and the State, admits of no
controversy, as the proofs are unfortunately
too familiar to observation
and experience of every man
woman and child among us.
That the traffic is producing those
direful results at this time, all over
South Carolina, is attested undeniably
by lyrgoly increased crimnal
business of our courts, the fillinc of
' o
our jails with crimnuls, our penitentiary
with convicts, and our asylum
with lunatics, the degradation and
run of many of our brightest young
men, and the general condition of
unrest and demoralization which is
eyerywhere apparent. In a word, it
is the agency most potential in its
influence in opposing the intellectual,
social, material, financial, educational
and moral interests of our
people, and opposes an almost insurmountable
barrier to the salvation
of human souls. This condition of
things is neither natural nor desira
ble, and exi9': in spite of the denunciations
of Clod's immutable word
against it, and the efforts of the
good and true to reform it.
All efforts to regulate or ren train
the traffic, or mitigate its evils by
law, nave proven abortive, because
under the demoralizing influences,
inherent in the traffic, the liquor seller
utterly disregards or violates
every provisionswhich is intended to
restrain, and the authorities tolerate
or condone the violation because of
their share in the profits, which in
t'?' shape of a license fee, comes in
vswell the revenue of the county
and municipal treasuries. Under
these same influences the people, too
have become tolerant of its evils be0AU8G
of the false impression made
upon them that the revenue derived
from it relieves them, to that extent
from the burdens of taxation. Thus
it is that the legalized liquor traffic
in South Carolina is to-day conducted
in utter disregard of every restraining
provision of law and of
every right of the class for whoso
interest and protection these provisions
were framed.
tjf tlicso statements were true of
any other business or class of men
amon|( us, their mere announcement
would bo sufficient to arouse such a
storm of righteous indingation as
would only be satisfied by the final
and complete removal of evil complained
of.
This being apparent as to the nature
and results of tho liquor traffic,
who is responsible for its continuance?
f Wo answer as the deliberate and
>{ solenmn Gonviotion on our conciencgSj
You! tho free white vo'crs of
the State, whose sovereign decrees at
the ballot box no human power dare
gainsay?you are responsible for the
continuance of these evils, Oh, our
follow citizens, bear w.ith us if, in
} tho deep interests of our conscious
ncss of the terible woes which, by
this system, we impose upon our
helpless wives and children, we pross
the matter upon you in terms which
seem to be severe.
Examine for yourselves and see if
what we assort is not the truth, and
'''

regard us not as eniniies because wo
tell you the truth.
.
The present prohibition movement
is made uiuler circumstances and
conditions which soora to us to give
promise of success, if the voters,
who are, or ought to be, in sympa
thy with the oltort, will take advantage
of the opportunity which it
affords.
There never has boon before so
hearty and general a response to the
call which is being made for the
friends of prohibition to rally to its
support. There is a more thorough
organization throughout the State
than pt any former period, and the
powerful aid which comes from the
pulpit, the press and the organized
temperance bodies is assured to our
movement with all the vigor and
zeal which so noble a work for God
and humanity is caculated to ineprire
in such auxiliaries.
Not the least of the conditions
which favor our success at this time
is the fact that wo have been accorded
the right, as Democratic voters,
to test the sense of the voters
and tho candidates for tho Legislature
on the question at the first
Democratic election, with all tho
rights and protection which the party
machinery secures for a free ballot
and a fair count. The wisdom and
importance of this arrangement appears
in the fact that this test will
bo made free from complication with
any personal or factional issues 011
other qnosiioiis on which tho voters
may differ, and that those who would
be disposed to favor prohibitive legislation
for the whole State as more
effective than license or local prohibition
can vote in this instance froe
from the fear that the expression of
their will cannot In nuH/icrf and d< J

With tliese advantages in our fa

the votos of the pledged temperance
: men, the 50,000 votes of the innnj
hers of Christian churches, and the
| votes of friends of prohibition, not
j included in the two former classes,
j unite to say that the legalized l'cpior
traffic in South Carolina shall cease.
If these voters, with the vows of
God and of their organizations upon
them, will for onco meet tho solemn
responsibilities which this occasion
I imposes upon them, and which they
! cannot evade and be gniltness before
1 God and man, and will cast their

The Advantages of Rest.
There is no better preventative of
nervous exhaustion than regular, unhurried,
muscular exercise. If we
could moderate our hurry, lessen
our worry, unu increase our open
I nil' exercise, a large proportion of
nervous diseases would ho abolished.
For those who cannot get a sufficient
holiday the best substitute is
an occasional day in bed. Many
i whose nerves are constantly strained
in their daily vocation have discover
ed this for themselves. A Spanish
merchant in Barcelona told his medical
mail that he always went to bed
for two or three days whenever he
could be snared from 'his bus'ness.
and lio laughed at those who spent
their holidays in toilsome mountains.
One of the hardest worked women in
England, who has for many years
conducted a large wholesale business
in England, retains excellent
nerves at an Advanced age, owing, it
is believed, to her habit of taking
one day a week in bed. If we canj
not avoid frequont ogitatiun, wo
ought, if possible, to give the nervous
system time to recover itself
between the shocks. Even an hour's
seclusion after a good lunch will deprive
a hurried, anxious day of much
injury. The nerves can often he
overcome by strategem when they
refuse to lie controlled by strength of

Great Men and Small Matters- 1
It is a mistake to suppose that
tho grato men ami millionaires of
the world iguorc the small affairs of
life.
From Napoleon down the most
successful men have been noted for j
their mastery of details and for <
their close attontion to iittlo things, i
Prince Bismarck, for instance, does
not givo liis entire time to the matters
tha* are disc used by courts and
cabinets, lie watches his farming ,
interests, and last year he cloared j
$40,000 on his cattle, gceso and va
nous minor products. ^
Mr. Gladstone is a literary man ^
as well as njstutosmon, and a stranger
would naturally suppose him to be
careless about such a trifle as money.
The very reverse is the case. The
grand old man is opposed to all forms
of extravagant expenditure. Both
ho and Mrs. Gladstone arc oconoinicalj
almost to ponuriousness in
their personal expenses. This economy
extends to food, dress and everything.
Our great millionaire, Mr. (J. l>- 1
Huntington, when a boy working in
a store, made it a point to pick up
every little nail, lie did not wait J
until ho found a big ono before exerting
himself. lie is now sixtyyears
old, but ho still considers the
details of business as important as
the results. lie works harder than
his clerk from 7,30 o'clock in the '
morning to (J in the afternoon, and
personally supervise his vast interests.
To a really great man notlrng is
too small for his consideration.
When he lias a fortune .it his disposal
he does not waste it. Some
of his expenditures may startle his
neighbors, but there is a method in
his apparent extravagance.
Many a young man has boen misled
by Hob Ingorsoll's advice. "If
yon have only half a dollar," said
the eloquent infidel, "spend it like u
prince." This is well enough, but
it should bo recollected that a wise
prince?such a prince as Bismarck?
knows the value of half a dollar, and
when ho spends it he gets his money's
worth in some shape or other. The
proper utilization of the small
things?the trilles of life is the foundation
of success.
Roasted Cotton Seed.
Texas Farmer.
Totfcoa, Ga.?A number of our
readers have written to mo to make
inquiry in regard to the process of
roasting cotton seed. Having seen
a notice in a recent number of the
Texas Farmer of my success in feed*
ing'the roasted seed, and with your
permission T will make a short statement
in regard to it,. It is with me
no longer an experiment, having
been engaged a number of years in
roasting and feeding stock with cotton
seed. I do not at the present
time make any corn at all. My
place being high red clay land, the
summers aro usually too dry to make
corn. In consequence of this I
make a good deal more cotton than
could otherwise be made on the place.
I roast and grind the seed into meal
and feed it to everything I raise.
1 deem it equivolent to any food
that is over fed to animals. It is
palatable and wholesome and everything
will eat it. It is better than
oil mill meal. Its virtue has not been
extracted. It will keep for any <
length of time; will not mold, get
musty or turn sour. The roasting <
process scorches off the lint, and
being dry and brittle will grind easily
and fust in any kind of mill. I
have prepared to food it ground into
meal, but a great many people who i
have commenced using it feed the i
whole seed with very satisfactory results.
It is almost impossible to
feed tho raw seed in quantities or
for any length of time. The laxa- i
tive character of the raw oil has a i
very deleterious effect and to milk :
and butter it imparts] an unpleasant
flavor, but with the roasted seed
nothing of this kind is apparent. I
can make as many pounds of pork <
with 100 pounds of roasted cotton
seed as I can with one hundred
pounds of corn, and I can mako the
seed whilst I am making cotton and
at a time when I cannot make corn. '
I have moved my smoke houso from
the corn field to the cotton field, and
find myself able to keep bacon in it

The Coming Cotton CropIn
a recent interview Mr. Samuel
M. Inman, of Atlanta, gave the following
resume of the cotton outlook:
"The growing crop of cotton has
reached a point at which we can
begin to arrive at some data which
are reasonably enrrer.t.
"V'irst tlio fulling off in the use of
fertilizers of 200,000 tons makes a
certain decrease from the past crop
on this score of 250,000 hales.
"Second, the inundation of fiom
100, 900 to 500,000 acres of cotton
lands in the Mississippi valley at
this late date makes almoi t certain
the loss of 250,000 hales, as conipar
cd with last year.
"Third, should it he settled that
there is a decrease in acreage of 12
per cent., as compared with last year
this will create a shortage of 1,000,
1)00 bales, as in many cases the land
changed from cotton to corn, is the
best land and the average land abandoned
for cotton, it is said represents
an active productiveness.
"Thus it appears as an almost
posit ive fact that the crop now growing
will ho easily 1,500,000 hales
short of the crop wo have just gathered.
"Thus far, we feol pretty safe in
om position, but thero arc possibilities,
and even probabilities, which 1
mention, that inuy decrease the crop
of J002-03 much more than this.
"First, suppose it should appear
from the bureau report, as has been
indicated by nearly every private
and state authority during the past
month, that the decrease in acreage
instead of being 12 per cont, is as
much as 10 per cent. This would
mean a decrease of 1,460,000 bales
of 7,000,000, and a total decreaso of
1,040,000 bales instead of 1,600,000
bales.
"All this is based upon the idea of
all the conditions of crop and yield
being and continuing as good the
coming year as they have been in the
yoar we are leaving, and which wns
the best for thirty years after the
plant had fairly started. The crop
of 1800-91, which was considered
phenomenal proves to have been 1
per cent, off in condition in comparison
with the cijop of J 891 92, and the
crop of two yo^irs ago, which was a
fair averago *was, in round numbers,
18 per cent, ofl in condition as compared
with thtfy present wonder-**'!
year. t\
"Assume, then, that i-his. growing
crop will be 10 per cent, lower in
condition through the season than
the one just gathered, and we have
still further shortage of 790,000 bales
applying a percentage in condition
to the reduced crop of 7,000,000
bales which wo have just been discussing.
The 700,000 bales, added
to tho deficit of 1,950,000 bales mentioned
above, makes 2,050,00 bales,
or a crop at the utmost, under all
these conditions, of not over
0,500,000bales.
"Now, 1 do not assert that the
crop will only be 0,500,000 bales,
nor do I pretend to estimate the size
of tho crop now growing. I am merely
endeavoring to show the tho possibilities,
and reasonable possibilities,
why the American crop of 1991-92
will be tho smallest known for several
years. If, however, these are reasonable
possibilities and the fact that
the world's consumption haainoreas
ed 1,000,000 bales in the past two
years, it can bo appreciated what an
appalling position those who have
sold cotton around 8 cents for the
fall months may be placed in, and

The Use of Tobacco as a remedy
There is an exceedingly interesting
article in the "Home and Farm"
from the pen of the Hon. T. L.
Clinghani, of North Carolina on this
BUDjoci. no oegms i>y saving he
never chewed, smoked or snlifted tobacco
in his life, and yet ho thought
on several occasions it saved his life,
and in other respects had boon of essential
service to many of his friends.
11 is attention was first drawn to it by
seeing a man spurt tobacco juice Into
his horses eye when very much inflamed,
and he was told he was curing
it in that way. On the 10th of
August, 1804 he received a severe
gunshot wound in a battle near Petersburg,'Vn.,
from which he lost
much blood ho was carried from the

afterwards was so feoblo the surgeons
feared ho would not survive
the fever they expected would sot in
a few days, he told there ho could reduce
the inllamation by the use of
tobacco, and they replied it would be
ruinous, but ho persisted and as
soon as they loft hint scat his sor
vant and got some tobacco in which
he enveloped the wounded loo and
kept it wet with the cloths over it.
1 le was greatly relieved, and when
the surgeons celled next day express
cd their surprise and told him to
keep on the tobacco. Another remarkable
cure, was a severe injury
received from an accidental blow in
eye; his suffering wore so great that
before the two physicians that were
sent for arrived he applied a poultice
made of tobacco and found great
relief, lie gives a great many remarkable
cures, in which he has tes|
ted it for different things, among
sore throat for which it is a sure cure,
applied as a poultice on the outside
of the throat and says "my brother
who is a practicing physician in
North Carol in, to whom I had explained
the use of tobacco, told mo
somo years ago, when sore throats
were an epidemic in his neighborhood,
ho had used tobacco in more
than a dozen cases, always with succoss,
while other physicians had lust,
somo of their patients, having treated
them differently.

With raro exceptions. I have now
taken lemonade in this way four
times daily for ten yoars on rising in

retiring at night; and whenever professional
duties prevented it, 1 have
