# Mr. J. B. Rollins, of Florence,
spent a lew days in town recently i
with relative* and friend*.
The Geode fnmily, a traveling |
troupe of negroes, gave two or three j
performances last week; the performances
were largely attended
hy whites. ,
Nelsou,ablind phrenologist, was ,
here a few days ago and made an ,
interesting lecture and demonstra- '
ted his ability as a judge of bumps.
Mrs. Bullock, of Elmi-a, N. Y., 1
representing the W. C. T. U., deliv- :
?red two lectures at the Methodist J
church last week. She organized a
local union with something like a J
anran momhort. I
UW?V II IUVW
Mr. R. A. Murphy, of the county '
board of control, was in our town i
Thursday. We understand that the
object of his visit was to have the ,
liquor intended for the Lake City '
and Scranton dispensaries shipped
to the Kingstree dispensary.
We had an abundance of fire Sunday
night. It seems that some one <
saw the glare of burning woods he- ,
low town, or the light from a chim- 4
ney, and went through the streets <
eiylngflre. The bell was sounded ,
and the inhabitants rushed out and '
hunted the tire that could aot be
found. (
We understand that we are to
gain a new citixen and at Kings- '
tree's cost Dr. Johnson is about ]
to make his home among us for the
nrAotiee of his profession. We shall
extend to him n hearty welcome <
and shall hope him an abundant
*1. success, we believe that he will 1
find that there is room here for an- <
othflt physician. He has secured ,
the building lately occupied by the
hardware store of Mr. E. K. Rod- ]
gers and will put a sto< -c ol' drugs ,
in it. l>r. Johnson is well known
as a first class man and a gentle* <
man, and from all we have heard ,
of him he is a eood doctor with a
promising future. Again, we say '
welcome! I

Among th? Churches.
On account, of indisposition
Rev. J. E. Duulop did not fill his
appointment in the Presbyterian
church Sunday afternoon.
It was a distinct disappointment
to many that Bishop Capers could
not preach here last Mo.slay
night. Inability to make connection
from Society Hill time
enough for the evening service
was the r?ason for the disappointment.
There were fine congregations at
the Methodist church Sunday,
both morMing and evening.
The 2nd quarterly conference
will be held in the Methodist
shurch Saturday and Sunday, the
27<h and 28th inst.
The W. C. T. U., of Kingstree,
will meet every Friday evening
it half-past eight oclock. All
members and those who wish to
loin are cordially invited. During
the month of March the meetings
will be held at Oapt. W. H. Kennedy's.
Senator Tillman's Solution of the
Liquor Problem.
in his interesting defence of the
souin uaronna dispensary system,
Senator Tillman thus sums up the
:ase in Frauk Leslie's Popular
Monthly for January as follows:
What i? there about this method
j( selling liquor which makes it
superior to prohibition or to the
license system?
First: Liquor is the only article
>i commerce in general use that
is consumed at the time and place
at its purchase. It is safe to say
[hat three-fourths of it is thus disposed
of. The dispensary law
jnforces a different method by requiring
the purchaser to take it
away as he would a package of
shoes or a sack of (lour. He must
go somewhere else than ta the
place where he buys it to consume
it.
Second: The element of personal
profit which lies at the root of
the saloon evil is destroyed. The
dispensers receive fixed salaries
proportionate to the amount of
workthevdo.?They don't get a
commission on sales and have no
incentive to push them.
Third: "Treating" is destroyed,
sod this does more tor sobriety
than possibly any other feature of
the system. The man who has
bought a bottle at the dispensary
may treat one or a half dozen of
his friends, to one drink and thai
till Ua all Tko inrlupomAnf nnfl
Will VO ail? i IIV IMUMVVtMVM.
obligation to reciprncato which
ire so well understood do not
exist.
Fourth:At sanset the dispensary
closes. It opens at eight o'clock in
the morning. The legitimate demand
lor whiskey is supplied daring
daylight, and the dispenser
having closed up his place of
business, has no incentive to reopen
it to make a sale. Under no
lorm of license is this possible.
Besides it is a misdemeanor to
make sales in any way or at any
time exeept as the law provides.

We can get nearly as much for it,
but we make the Longman & Martinez

a thin ordinary paint, in order
to enabie the painter to paint all
conditions of surface, where thin
or thick paint is required; and to
save the buyer about 30 cts. a
gallon. Thin paint costs about ll.SO,
our paint made ready to use
costs about $1.20. Use it, Lave
