That the Pit dmont is satisfied
11 e may ! with prohibition there can be
no mi-take, if one may judge
from the fouowing taken from
yesterddj’s Greenville News:
The Spartanburg .1 o u r n a 1
makes this wide observation ;
“Under the Cary - Cothran
would nor quarrel with him "P ' bin which abolished the dispen
any score. However, we be
lieve he is wrong’about the peo
ple not being ready for good
roads—that is if the matter is
put to them intelligently. But
no one will ever be able to say
whether or not the people want
good roads until the people are
permitted to give expression to
their views on this subject at the
sary, tho-e counties which have
voted out the dispensary under
the lirice law cannot have an
election on the question of coun
ty dispensaries until four years
Irom the time of such Brice law
election with certain named
exceptions. Spartanburg coun
ty voted om the dispensary
under the Brice law in Novem
her, 1905, and, therefore, can
not vote again on this subject
ballot box, and they cannot give 1 un jji November, 1909. Nobod'
expression to their views at the
ballot box until our representa
tives have a law passed permit-
ling them to do so.
If we are not mistaken the
people of this county are now
paying from $8,000 to $10,000
per year road tax and they are
getting mighty poor roads. If
they would issue $260,000 worth
knows what public sentiment
in this county can be then, bu*
everybody knows that prohibi-
bition will be sustained in this
county, if an election were held
now, by two to one.”
The same here Prohitition
is uopular in Greenville county
and it is not at a \ e that
there will be any decrease in
this sentiment before 1909.
We firmly believe that if the

was originally, like cricket, it man's
game, hut in the eighties an English
man named Hill changed it so that wo
men might play. Then it became pop ^
ulur in America, where amusements
are always arranged so that women
may take part in them. Since then
baseball has become almost the na
tional game there.” The writer then
gives a long description as to how the
game has been improved in Vienna,
“where it is played both in the open
and indoors.” According to the de
scription, the game does not bear the
slightest resemblance to American
baseball.

about one hundred miles of ma-■
, , . people of Cherokee today the
cadam road and pay the inter- . . . ,
, . , , ,majority against the dispensary
est on good roads with the $10,- . , , ,

for bad road In tins way
they would not.be taxed a dol.
lar more for good roads than
they are now being taxed for
bad roads.
Again, one hundred miles of
good roads would traverse this
county four times. It would
almost put every man in the
country on or within hailing
distance of a good road. The
man who lived three or four
miles from a good road could
haul two bad road loads to the
good road, put it all in one load,
and go to market with less ex
pense than he can now go to
market. It would increase the
value of land. It would make
nauling easy, • pleasant and
profitable. In short, it would
revolutionize the hauling indus
try of this county. Give us a
chance at good roads and we
believe the people will vote for
them.
A useful thing about a woman be
ing thin is there’s plenty of room
for pocli-etbooks where lots of them
carry their money.

Pa. painted the floors of his dormi

paint, next year with the paint of the
other dealer theit—to divide the
business between them—till Devoe

The job took 90 gallons; takes 60

$150. He didn’t know he was losing

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Don’t neglect your cough.
Statistics show that in New York City
alone over 200 people die every week from
consumption.
And most of these consumptives might
be living no\v if they had not neglected the
