News and Courier.] An exemplary business man ami one who has made a mark ed success in life said that he could not understand where thinking people got the idea that the dispensary system would prove profitable. He would venture to say that every dol lar of the $50,000 appropriated would be lost within six months by the heavy expenses of the system. It surprised him that no one had thought that the law provided that only “pure and unadulterated” liquors could be sold. Such liquor would cost $0 to $8 a gallon. The sale of any other kind of liquor would be illegal. If the required pro fits were put on this class of li quor it would be entirely too high priced for ordinary use, and many who were able to buy it would not patronize the dis pensary. The State will not do any of the single drink busi ness, and this, together with the “shorts,” is the chief source of revenue of the present deal ers. The dispensaries cannot in any event use any adultera tions or water, and with their restrictions, he said, could make no money. He prpphesied that the dispensary advocates would have to ask for another appro priation next year if they opera ted on a cash basis. The State would have a generous rivalry from the wagon venders, and it will be absolutely impossible to stop this class of business. TERPSICHORE IN HIS GLORY. ANotable Event in the Society of the Pee Dee Section. The “Valentine Reception,” which was given by the ladies of Florence on Monday night, was one of the most notable events in the social annals of the Pee Dee section. Therecep- acreage—extricated the South ern farmers from their difficul ties last season and restored the prosperity of this section. This can be maintained only by pur suing the same intelligent and conseyative course of keeping the cotton acreage down. Everybody realizes this, but j there is, as we have said, dar.- LAW CARfMt. -,, ger lest the farmers, acting tion was not only well attended , n( }jvjdually instead of collect- by the young people of r lorence, 1 "THE COLONEL.’ This Well Known and Popular Comedy to be Presented Here. The well known play, “The Colonel,” will be presented in the Darlington opera house Tuesday evening next, the 21 inst., by the same company that presented it in Florence last fall, when it was witnessed and much enjoyed by a number of Dar- lingtonians. Reserved seats 75 cts. Read what the News and Courier said about the play on September 12 last: “To the lovers of comedy The Colonel, who appears at the academy of musicon Fri day evening, will particularly appeal. The story of The Col onel will go far toward pro viding, in a humorous manner, how a lie once told evelopes and expands itself until truth becomes almost a foreign ele ment. It also sets forth the in fluence wifey’s mother brings to bear on the happy home, and sets a warning example to mar ried men who have a predilection for assisting distressed unmar- r i e d females. Throughout the entire play the comedy is of that quick, breezy order so much admired but seldom seen.” K>pie but there were also many visi tors from “the country around about.” To the sweet strains of music youth, in all its gaiety, danced in honor of old St. Val entine, the patron of Love. The guests were dressed in the style of “ye olden time,” the la dies appearing in empire gowns and the gentlemen m evening suits with ruffles. The following Darlingtonians were among those who enjoyed the evening: Misses Annie Williamson, Meta Williamson and Nonie Wil liamson and Messrs R. E James, J. W. James, Bright William son, B. F. Williamson, W. A. Edwards and Harry Smith. THE FESTIVAL OF PURIM. The Hebrews Will Observe It, as Usual, With a Grand Ball. The Hebrews of Darlington will celebrate this year, as has been their custom for sometime past, the ancient festival of Purim. This is the festival observed in commemoration of Queen Esther’s saving the lives of condemned Jews and having Hainan hanged in their stead, which occurred about the year 521 B. C. The usual Purim ball will be given at the Cleve land Hotel on Thursday, March 2. The following committees have been appointed to make the ball what it has been hereto fore, a most enjoyable occasion: Arrangement Committee, 8. Lewenthal, 8. Manne, A. P. Levy, D.

A convention may do a great deal toward preventing this. If every farmer plants the same acreage as last year they will all make money. If any farmer increases his planting it will tend to induce others to fol low his example, and there will be a big crop, low prices, and no profit. A convention can bring this danger most forcibly before the farmers. R. W. BOYD. flKO. W. BROWS BOYD & BROWN- Attorneys and Oounsolors at Law Office in brick building south of the Bank of Darlington.

How the Citizens of Rock Hill Will Learn to Grow the Weed. (The State.] Nine citizens of Rock Hill have formed a Tobacco Grow ers’ club, and have engaged an expert from North Carolina to “coach” them. They intend to do their part toward diversify ing crops, and with Rocks Hill’s characteristic energy, propose to make that city a centre of to bacco culture. Should their ex periment this year prove sue cessful, they will establish a tobacco warehouse in Rock Hill. This plan is to be com mended to farmers whose ven ture in tobacco is not large enough to warrant the employ ment of an expert. With a “coacher” for each neighbor hood club, each grower can mak« a good crop, while ac quainting himself with the best methods of cultivating and cur- ng tobacco. We hope to hear of many more such clubs. Of Chicago, Ills. WHAT SAY YOU FARMERS V Represented by Nettles & Nettles, Darlington, S. C.

Gregg & Lynch yesterday is the most handsome and finely finished piece of furniture in the State, however broad the assertion may be con sidered. It was built by Mr. C. Mooney, of Darlington, who makes a specialty of such work, and a look at it is well worth the trouble of going to see it. If Good Prices are to be Maintained The Acreage Must be Reduced. [New Orleans Times Democrat.] Last winter, it will be remem bered, several conventions were held of planters and others inter ested in cotton, for the purpose of bringing about a reduction in the acreage of that staple. The most important of these conven tions was at Memphis, where nearly all cotton States were represented, and where some very intelligent views were ex pressed on the subject of acreage and production. The managers of the Memphis meeting want to have another called sometime this spring for the same purpose as the last one. They claim that their conven tion was largely, if not mainly, instrumental in bringing about the reduction in acreage which took place, and thus caused the improvement in the price of cot ton, to the great benefit of the South ; but they argue—and rightly too—that the better price of cotton is likely to have an unfortunate effect in induc ing farmers to increase their acreage, and thus give us an other big crop and low prices. The idea is an excellent one, and a convention somewhere is needed to lay this matter pro perly and forcibly before the cotton growers. We are by no means prepared to say that the Memphis meeting was responsi ble for the reduced acreage last year, for half a dozen other causes were at w r ork to bring about that result. The low price of cotton had demoralized the farmers, many of them found it impossible to secure advances from the merchants on a big acreage, and everything united to persuade them that it was better to plant less cotton. At the same time the several meetings held, and above all that at Memphis, had a most satisfactory effect. There is great danger that the farmers will make a mistake in their planting this spring. All the reports agree in this. They have done so well that there is every encouragement to increase their cotton acreage; and each farmer will do so, im agining that none of the others are overplanting, and that he will get the benefit of good pri ces. This is the story that has been told year after year. It brought the South and its farm ers to a condition of extreme financial stringsney, and it will bring them to that condi- ] tion again if this policy is still indulged in. j On the other hand, the oppe, a n , er Enterprise Hotel, ZVh*.”™; site policy—that of a reduced Public Square.
