: JOEL E. BRUh
John Brown and Sam Jones are
oouatns and both spent a part of last
Saturday in town. John is a fairly
good farmer with big feet and
k?uw>? *rnu ariH hill n nlentv to
* lite on at home. Sam has a home
with a goad little wife and six children
to occupy it, but very little of
anything else to make the home
happy or comfortable. Mr. Brown
most hare spent at least twenty dollars
last Saturday. He bought cloth
and shoes and sugar and coffee and
tome play-things for the children.
Hr. Jones showed no disposition to
trade with onr merchauts. He first
went, to the State's barroom and
bought twenty oents Worth of ''chemically
pure" and then stood on the
, ftree); corner with the thing in his
Docket waiting to find some thirsty
w. W
tool with whom bo coolU divide the
liquor aad dispense small chat. The
troth is, he had but two dollars iu
the world and was making the most
v. {f)ofit Duriug the afternoou he
belabored his brain to determine how
* he should spend the balance of his
H money. He just had to buy ten
v cents, worth of turpentine, for the
children had feaftul colds, and there
it was no getting out of twenty-five
cents for tobacco. He thought they
'f Sight get through the week on ten
cents' worth of sugar and five cents
f )n coffee, and then he really must
spend fifteen cents tor calico to cover
the poor little baby. After these
purchases were made he found he
bad one dollar and fifteen cents left,
i. The fifteen cents he determined to
f keep, but as be had found his chief
pie?are in the "chemically pure"
| he coocluded to spend the dollar for
no?e of it to carry home.
*; It is not our purpose to follow the
^ ? two 1MB togtheir homes and show the
happiness of the one and the misery
pf the other. It will not take a
Irifid imagination to picture the
* mrriTall and the distribution of the
rS handles. What we wish, is to show
that there is another side to the questioo.
It ire?y to see that Mr.
v. . Brown's purchases were of such a
ehsmpter ? to benefit not only his
||f dwh family, bnt also the parties from
he bonght the goods. In fact,
- ' Mr. Brown's labor was turned into
the hooest channels of trade and
planed him in such condition that he
eon Id earn twenty dollars more. Mr.
JoaeS spent sixty-five cents for the
necessaries of life and exchanged one
dollar and twenty cents with the
State for six half-pint bottles of corn
\ whiskey. It is fair to say the whiskey
did not fit Mr. Jones to labor for a
like amount of money. Whom, then,
did the money benefit, and where did
iVgo? A small part of it paid the
running expenses of the dispensary
While nearly all of it went out of the
State to hny a like amount of liquor.
k. / How the merchants of a town can
say the liqnor business ^rings trade
and prosperity to the place is beyond
our ken. We can see how it gobbles
- up the trade and brings poverty.
Sony dollar taken in by the dispensary
means jnst that much taken
from the legitimate channels of trade
Eg' . aad sent beyond the borders of our
State for the benefit of liquor-sellers
p\' elsewhere.
Think of it, one million five hundred
thousand dollars taken annual~
the State of South Carolina
from her poor people in exchange
for wounds and bruises and most of
it sent off to liquor-sellers else
f . where.
When the people exercise so little
I common sense in the management of
their affairs, it is no wonder they are
poor.
The State pays about $640 to educate
a hoy at Clemson or the Citadel,
and then'employs the beet business
talent she can get to work hiB
twin.

"Get the revenue; let the boys go to

economy!
Doctors Largely Responsible.
American physicians are largely
responsible for I he increased
use of all kinds of liquor among
American women, says one of our
contemporaries. Tl ?y prescribe
stimulants in a large number of
cases of invalidism among women,
with the inevitable result that,
whether salutary or not for the
sick, the habit grows among the
heath'ul. It is not a long step
Irom hops to corn, from the brew
to the still.
Drink and Pray.
The story is told of a Highland
er who built a tavern near Abbots
toad and called it "The Flodden
Inn." He applied to Walter tScolt
for a motto for the sign board.
The novelist suggested "Drink,
weary traveler: drink and pray."
The man objected to his house becoming
a kirk, arguing:
"The more praying there is, the
less drinking there will be, and 1
don't want that."
Sir Walter suggested the omission
of the letter "r" in pray, so
that the motton might read,
"Drink, weary tnveler: drink and
pay." With this the "mine host"
was delighted, and hundreds of his
customers found out to their bitter
sorrow that whilst drinking and
praying go hand in hand, drinking
and praying have not even a bowing
acquaintance.
The same ic true everywhere.
What Whiskey Can Do.
A friend ot temperance, says
the Christian Herald, put upon
our table an advertising card from
a restaurant in Philadelphia. It
proposes to regale and refresh the
people in the "Oily of Brotherly
w M mi . i
Love." ine liquor snop mus aa
vertised is very near Independence
Hal', and persons visiting
that patriotic spot can take it in
their excursion if they are very
dry. It is well for those people
who never drink, to understand
what privileges they miss, and
also what philanthropists the
rum-sellers really are.

A New Law.
Editor, County Record:?
At the last session of the Gen
eral Assembly an Act was passed
requiring every person soliciting
emigrants to procure a license
from thesecetary ot State ly pay
ing a fee of *500, and to procure
such a license for each and every
county in which said solicitor may
desire to obtain emigrants; A
failure by any person who solicits
emigrants to procure said license
for each and every county he may
%i9ii ?uujci;i3 i lie uuruuri iw a
fine of" not less than $200, or four
months imprisoment, or both, at
tlie discretion of the courts; and
not more than four hundred dollars
fine and two years' imprisonment
for each and every offence
in every county in the State
It is the duty of every stood citizen
to see that the law be rigidly
enforced. There is a class ot people
who are doing a vast amount
of harm in demoralizing our peo
pie bv false representation and
destroying the farming interests
by the wholesale exodus cf the
laboring class, which is the hops
and salvation of our county. The
law goes into immediate effect.
