Kt WONDERS WHff If IS-THENSUPPENtT ftfti OUT _? * LISBON LOCALS. Ll3bon, March 3.?Everything la very quiet at this place, yet the rural police don't come arouud very often. But they never know when to expect them. For that reason it has the de atred effect for good order. Thjs place needs a good piany things that wo are not ablo to reach, but we could afford a telephone line it we neighbors would combino and make one, then we would feel like wo were near the city, one of the best towns in the up country and the best people. We go to other places and Can see more tigers heforo the sun goes down, hear more rowdyism than you would see and hear at Laurens in six months. The reason of that is, our people are on good behavior most ?11 the time, but in case one don't do the proper thing the olbcers at Lau rens are very apt to look after him. We went to a town not far from Lau rens and saw more men under the in fluence of whiskey than you would see at. Laurens In 12 months. The dispensary was in evidence at that iplace. We could not help but feel sorry for some of these poor fellows who did not have a decent suit of Clothing, much less the necessities of life. Now isn't it time for Congress ?o act, change the constitution that no (whiskey could be shipped into a dry 'County or state? We would then have a people who would be self-support ing and one of the best countries in the world. We see from ihe newspapers that wo will not ha e to go out in the highways and hedges to find men to fill the governor's chair. There are some good men that we know per sonally already announced. Our first choice is the Hon. it. A. Cooper, a gen tloruan, of the highest type and that means very, very much in South Caro lina. The farm work io very quiet these days, nothing doing in tho way of plowing. The farmers are not haul ing fertilizer, for some don't say much about fertilizer, and when they do they say "I am not hunting n olg fer tilizer bill this time.'' Our land must do something. The fertilizer people are getting very near all that is made, and it Is time that we wero looking after our interest more, prepare our land, and rotate, make more of the j necessities at home. Our teacher, Miss Alma Garrctt at tended the teacher's meeting at Lau rens and reports that she had a de lightful time. She spoke in tho high est terms of Prof. Tate's talk to the teachers. i Mr. Anderson has finished painting tho Lisbon school house and it acids much to the already beautiful place. Now wo are going to vote a two mill tax to run our school longer, the 14th of this month. With the McCravy bill in force wo will have more edu cation and better education, but we think that the bill should have more force. Some people think that the negro would get more education, but tho negro always gets more than his part, if there is anything to be had. ERADICATION OF CATTLE TICKS.
