About the only indication that li

county is the reduction In public rev
enue. Drinking, drunkenness and ail
the kindred evils areoniy too con
spicuous, and furnish proof oosltive
that Cecil’s prohibitory law does not
prohibit. A large percentage of the
liquor drank in the county doubtless
is bought beyond the countv’s Iku-
ders, but the apparent celeritv with
which it is obtained suggests that it
is hein# sold here in considerable
quantities in defiance of law. It is
impossible to prevent the sale and
drinking of intoxicating liquors, and
the sensible thing to do Is to license
the sale and thereby control it to a
degree.

Gaffney, June 6.—It has been truly
said “Peace hath its victories no less
renowned than war.” This thought
impresses itself on on rt who travels
along Pacolet river and Lawson's
hork, which three years ago today
was a scene of the most disastrous
floods that ever devasted this coun
try. To see the magnificent bridges,
cotton n.'iis and machinery of every
kind that is, now standing ’along
these streams, impresses one with an
idea of the irrepressible pluck, ener
gy and perseverance of our people.
M e attended the commencement
exercises at Converse College Satur
day night and witnessed the tday
"Ail’s Well that Ends Well.” This
Play was written by Miss Perta Inez
Wood, daughter of Mr. and Mw.
Smith Wood. She died last winter.
It was a splendid play and was wit-
nessed by an immense audience. Miss
Wood was an exceptionally bright
girl and much beloved by her teach
ers and college associates, as well as
Others with whom she came in con
tact. We had a complimentary tick
et and were very kindly treated dur
ing onr visit to the city. As full
proceedings of the commencement
have been published iu the leading
Spartanburg papers it is not necessa
ry for us to say more.

and full of business. It is surround

it in last year’s cotton land, and it.
looks well, too, j n most places. All
the crops have been very well worlv-
ed out muwithstaBdin" the scarcity
of labor in many sections.
We spent the night in Spartanburg
with Mr. S. M. Wood, who keeps a
boarding house. He is an old Union
county man who cast his lot with the
progressive town of Spartanburg
about twelve years ago, ami has ac
quired and maintains a g(r»d busi
ness.
During our travels w e came across
many of ou r old acquaintances, whom
we have not seen for many years. A
gioat many of the colored people set
tled near Drayton mills came from
l nion county (now lower Cherokee)
and they seem to have been benefit-
fed by the move as much as their
white neighbors who came from the
.s*anie section.
Mr. I). N. Fowler owns a fine farm
near Mount Z1o n , for which he paid
about $11 per acre nearly two years
ago and for which he could now get
much more than the purchase money
We also met and formed an ac
quaintance with Mr. John Scotf, a
former Union county man. who lives
at Cannon’s Camp Ground, anal, to all
appearances he is doing well.
