H. II. AULL, EDITOH. The State board of dispensary con trol purchased last week at ono time 11,218 barrels of whiskey. Counting Z'I gallons to the barrel would be 354, 367 gallons of whiskey at one pur ch:kse. This strikes us as a pretty big purchase at one time and would quench the thirst of a great many people. Or )o put it differently it would make a good many headaches. If this were distributed among the counties equally it, would give to each county about 8, 859 gallons. That much whiskey in Newbery would give each man, woman and ch(ild in t,hc county nearly a half gallon. So you see it, is not so much after all. And yet we could not say it was a very long step toward prohibi tion and neither would there be occasion for any eitizen to go thirsty. Of course, we supposeo this represents only a part of the purchase if it is properly reported, for there is always at purchase of what is known as case goods. We do not much like the idea of the State being in the whiskey business. This much money spent for clothing or bread would clothe and feed a good many people. Yet, strango to say, people who need these things will spend their money for whiskey. We do not mean to say that the State be ing in business i)creases the amount spent for whiskey, but, it looks a little like the State is endorsiig and encour ing it. The 1'ieckens.1ournal says the law in regard to costs is ifn vent confusion and the Legislitures hammier i at it so mueli and tihe Supreme Coiut 't then tries to Constrte WhIat t he Legislatulre meant thit nobody knows what. the law real].' is. Tile .1ouri al conel.1ides: "The laborer is Worthby of his hire and a just coi pensation fol public service will not, hurt the tax payer.

If tlie good of the tax payers is to be coti sulted let. econoiical leasires Aegin where they will amoiltit to.sotiiethintg." That is very true nl good doetrinie but did the Journal not ice closely the politician and tle law maker of this day wants to starve the siall fellow and make a big fiss ahott taxes while lie would %ote large siums to objects which Imlightt be eut soils to save some thing to the tax payer that would amount to something.

Perhaps the only enlisted man in the 2d South Carolina who served in the Confedermte army is George S. Noland, quartermaster sergeant of Company G. Sorgt. Noland was born in Union County fifty-three years ago, and served through the civil war in Cotu nany 1B, 18th South Carolina, Wal laice's brigade. He onlisted as a pri vato in Company G, 2d South Carolina, last Juy and was made quartermaster by Ca it. MeCaughrin. Sergt, Noland's oxIerienee in the Confederate war glve,s him the "drop" on some of the younger members of his class, and Company G reaps the bonelit of this experience. The sergeant never asks 'odds" of any other quartermaster ser geant., but he always manages to "do the hcavy" v'hon it comes to supplying his men with the necessaries of life. The men of Company G admiro and re spect their quartermastor, and he do serve', it, too. Tle above is from the special cor respondent of the News and Courier in writing of the several company quarter masters of the 2d South Carolina Reg iment and as Mr. Noland has lived many years in Newbr,.'y and has many friends in this county we Copy it with pleatsure We know "Stout," will take good care of the boys. 108 Vs-N Olt4.

ON S L-A .M .AL ..M VT . & W _& 1h1mbman Chapel and Unton Aeadem.y Vb1ps A good many of our friends have said, "What's the matter, Chips, that we've had no chippings for the past while?" Well, dear friends, nothing in partiou lar, but a good deal . in general. Old man Chips know nothing that ws bright and encouraging to write about, the tefo-e he never likes to be pointing at the black side of every thing he sees. There is things that we know, and often th'-gs happen to our, mind which we would rather not know. But still it is our prerogative not to tell all we know, and we notice that our old friend Kay takes the same advantage. But let the cut go as it may we will throw in a few more: Bad colds have become an el)idemic. Miss Mary Sligh, of Slighs, has been visiting friends and relatives in this section for the paot few weeks. I-log cholera is reported in several sections of the county. What a pity for the people to lose their meat, es pecially during such stringent times as the country is undergoing. Thero will be considerable moving among the white people, of which I will note later. Our school at Union academy is in a liourishing condition under the aus piecs of Miss Bessie Domninich. Miss leasic is a highly accomplished lady in every respect, and our proepects for a good school have never been better. A good many news itetus have hap pened since our last letter which we would have been pleased to mention, but they have grown old and we will pass then by. Tho butcher knife has been dolog its work for the past, while, and we old hay-sceds arc now enjoying our own hog and honminy. Oh! my, what a time! Puddllg and sausage everywhere you go. Come out in the country, Mr. Editor, with we'uns and grow fat. Mr. Ed. Strauss is building a nice tenant house on his lialfacre place, which will be occupied by Mr. Levi Gruber, of Pomaria section, another year. Mr. Strauss is one of those boys that don't believe in doing things by halves. The house is built out of the very best material, an, everything is being fitted up very conveniently. Owing to the inclemency of the weather Union academny didn't observe Arbor Day at the appointed time, but our teacher requests all the patrons to meeL at the school bouse on F"riday nezt, at 1 p. m. to devote their time and attention in this respect. We hope the patrons will all turn out, as we would like to see some improvements in this direction. We congratulate Newberry upon the election of her city fathers. The men elected are all good men, and the city will never suifTer or go back under their government. But it will seem a litt)e awkward for a while to not say Niayor Hub; although we will not; put in a word of complaint when our friends jump f, om a city ruler to a Stato ruler. We think this is promotion enough for one time. If old jolly Hub makes as long a jump the next time, it will throw him right over in congress, where we believ'e he will eventually go. Two new hoardcrs have put in their appearance quite recently on Rlidge oad,. one at NI r. Luther Iiobb's, it's a girl; the other at NIr. W. W. Kinard's, it's at boy. (G'randdad again, Kay, what do y'ou think of this. It, will sooni be timne for our law-mak ers to meet~ arain. If the wvhole State sends~ as good a (delegation as Newherry it will certainly be a representative body. Old Newbe,"ry is full of good leg is!ative timber, and we feel contl denit that our piresent delegat,ion w!ll occupiy some of the most p)rominent places in t he assemblyv. It has been talked that the Hion. Cole. L. lilease wvill he a candidate for Speak er of the I-ouse. T1he lion. Bileaso is a shining light among the rising genera tion of his age. lie has held many mo1(st hmonom able and prominent, posi ions in the public ruling of his county and Stat.e, and none have shown mor e distinguished qualities or aptit,udo in thei participation in the government of our State. lie is well liked and dleserv edly popular. ils able defense during his practice in the courts has shown that, he is a younzg man tf more than ordinary abilit,y, and as an oi ator he is almost unequalled. So when the Legis latur'e meets, if it wants a good p)iece of material for Speaker, there's no use of skipping ar'ound 11ion. ( ole. Bilease. it will not only be conferrin g an honor upon01 himn to elect him Speaker, but will aiso reilect much credit,upon the whole assezmbly. MIr. and NIlvs. H. 1H.

We are a mighty heliever' in Providence, and it seems that P rovildence provided for the editor in this ease, Especially by having 01(1 man Kay wilth him to lead him around. Now, old boy, you said that you wanted the old1 man Chips to get himself delegat,ed to the next synod that meets in Charleston. llut, Chips is fully up to date on your little tricks, you would like to get us down there and poke ''blind" medicine into us, would you? so y'ou coutld come back home and point your flnger of fun at us. As you are a (dealer in drumgs and mcdi clueH, will you please o::plain a little more about that "blind"' medicone. 1lrother Clodhmopper,. we didn't, think It would Ihe of very mutch interest to the public to toll themn about our trip to Colubia, as you wvere already aware of the fact that we had a position as assigred uts at the State Fair', but our health was not sumelent to accept, thereiore our st,ay was only a short one.
