bo made plain to us and then give us

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The true temperance man who says
he would vote for prohibition if it
would prohibit, is on a par with the
fellow who says he would get mar
ried were it not for the mother-in-law.
Both have migtliy poor excuses. The
true temperance advocate will vote
it out of the block in which he lives,
out of the ward, out of the town, out
of the nation. He will at any and all
times vote to get it as far away from
him as possible.

W. B. Smith-Whaley, cotton mill
promoter of Columbia, but more re
cently of Boston, *Mass., has filed a
petition in bankruptcy. Mr. Whaley
fails for more than a million dollars.
The press has been very considerate
of Mr. Whaley and all agree that his
purpose was good if his financiering
was had. Certainly he added much to
the wealth of South Carolina, espe
cially Columbia, and we are glad to
see that his efforts to better the in
dustrial condition of our people are
not without due appreciation.

The petitions calling for an election
on the subject of “dispensary” or “no
dispensary” have been turned over
to County Supervisor J. V. Whelchel,
and 4 that official is expected to call
the election in ample time for the
voters to express themselves on the
18th of November at the ballot box.
There were more than a thousand
names on the petition. This brings
the matter down to the point where
the friends of temperance must bestir
themselves. Men who will serve their
country unselfishly are needed now.
Don’t delude yourselves with the idea
that signing the petition is all that
is necessary. We will have to vote,
and vote often, to carry the election.

The terrible disaster on the South
ern between Knoxville, Tenn,. and
Asheville, N. C., last Saturday morn
ing, in which sixty odd people were
killed outright and a hundred and
twenty-five wounded, some fatally,
was one of the unaccountable acci
dents that are becoming more fre
quent in this day of rapid transit. It
comes home to Gaffney people with
more force because of the fact that
Gaffney people are among the dead.
We sympathize with the living rel
atives and friends of the victims. We
also sympathize with the railroad of
ficials. It must be awful for them to
contemplate, that their efforts to serve
the people are fraught with such dire
calamities.
• * •
We don’t advocate prohibition from
a selfish standpoint. We advocate it
because of the good it will do others.
We want to see whiskey put out of
the reach of the man who can’t con
trol himself; out of reach of the boys
of our county so that they will not
become drunkards. We want to help
some man to be a better husband, a
kinder father, a better citizen. Why,
there is enough money spent in this
county for whiskey every year to put
silk stockings and kid tiioes and nice
clothes on every hoy and girl in the
county. We want to see our men
spend less for the damnable stuff,
and we want to see our children wear
better clo4hes. That’s our object-
nothing more, nothing less.

The Washington correspondent of
a border state newspaper once wrote
an article reflecting severely upon a
partisan opponent. Having been con
vinced th^t the charge was false, he
made a complete, acknowledgement of
his mistake as soon as possible and
asked that the editor place the cor
rection in as prftminent a place as
. he original error. This was done.
In a few days the correspondent re
ceived a letter from an old reader of
the newspaper, which ran something
like this: “I Jjave long believed most
that you have written because your
ideas seem to agree pretty well with
mine, but after what you have recent
ly done you cannot write anything,
sir, that I would not believe!" The
letter has been framed and hangs
in the correspondent’s office.—Youth’s
Companion.
I That’s our ideal. If there is one
thing that we crave more than
another it is that He who guides the
destiny of man may give us strength
and wisdom to write the truth—noth
ing but the truth—at all times; but
perchance, should we unwittingly
The Rural Libraries.
To patrons and school trustees:
Let me call your attention to the
rural libraries. We have until the
31st of December of this year to lake
advantage of this rare opportunity
to get the best library books for our
children I ever knew. The winter
is coming on when they will have
long evenings, and they will read and
reread these valuable books greatly
to their advantage and edification.
Let me urge you to look after this
matter and get these books for your
children. You have no idea how they
will enjoy them, and what a benefit
the reading of them will be to your
homes and community. Our county
is entitled to eight more libraries and
we should by all means get them, and
do so by the middle of October. Let
Cherokee county have her full quota
of libraries, twelve in all. These books
are only for the county schools. Let
me hear from you by next Saturday.

A card sharp swallowed a fish bone
and was choking when a physician
reached him, says the New York
Times. In a very short time the
doctor removed the bone and the
gambler asked gracefully how much
he owed for the service.
“Fifteen dollars,” replied the physi
cian, without a sign of a blush.
“YVhat!” exclaimed the sharp.
“You weren’t working for a minute.
That’s an enormous fee.”
“My dear sir,” responded the phy
sician, with professional dignity,
“that is not the way to look at it.
You must consider the years of prac
tice necessary to acquire my skill.”
The sharp had to pay the bill.
Several weeks later the sharp was
on a trip out of the city and the doc
tor was in the same car, but he did
not recognize his forme- patient.
The sharp was working several of
his little tricks with the boards and
he finally induced the doctor to play,
who at last was $30 out.
“Here!” shouted the doctor, when
he saw his roll disappear. “You
haven’t given me any show at all.
You got that money out of me by a
simple twist of the wrist.”
“My dear sir,” responded the sharp
soothingly, “that’s no way to look at
it. You should consider the years of
practice necessary to acquire my
skill.”
The doctor looked the sharp over
curiously. Then he smiled faintly
and blushed as he said: “Can’t you
give me back $15 of that and call it
square?”
Sam—How is it Pete Green wears
such fine clothes en doan’ do nuffin?
Remus—Why, he hes a washin’ ma
chine dat suppohts him, and does it
very well, too. Sam—Huh! Did he
invent it? Remus—No; married it.

A Season of Danger.
You’re wise if you have an Insurance Policy safe and sure. If you
have not, you run a good deal of risk. The excessive heat, storms
and cyclones, and the dangers of travel at this season, all make life a
little more uncertain and property unsafe.
