Mr J C McElveen has let tin contract for his brick building on Acline avenue to Mr G I Brown and work will begin a / once.

The lower lloor wil be a store-room and office, whih in the upper will be hall, ante rooms, property rooms, etc./foi the three lodges, Knights of Py thias, Masons* and Woodmen The building is to be completet bv January 15th of next year. Hon J H Poston, representa tive from Florence county, wa: here tlie latter part of last weekAccompanied oy Dr. DeLeoi Lewellen of Friendtield he start ed Saturday night for New Yorl where he will undergo an opera tion for cancer of the tongue which ic is hoped will relievt him 01 that dread malady, li has been only a short while sinct this trouble was suspected About two weeks a^oDr Parkei of Charleston made an examina tion and advised Mr Poston thai an operation was necessary and an immediate one wise, and this advice is beinjj followed. And in the meantime Lak* City is not asleep. Last Thurs day application was made tc Secretary of State Gantt for a charter for the Stuckey-DuRanl Company. The authorized capi tal stock is to be $50,000.00 which,we believe,is several thou sand dollars more than an\ othei corporation launched in this county. And that it will b( launched is an assured fact, foi the situation has been thorough 3y canvassed, and before the ap ^ plication was made about tnree iffthsof the stock was definitely placed, and this correspondenl is informed that at this writing there aie more applicants foi stock than can be accommo dated. This corporation wil absorb the business of Messrs Stucky & KuRant, which has been a very successful enter prise. The company will enlargt the plant on Dans tag street anc add lines not heretofore attempt ed. The new concern will dea in live stock of all kinds,buggies wagons, carriages, harness anc saddlery, hay, grain, stock food? of all kinds and stock medicines and will do a general livery anc draying business.

The jury promptly / rendered a verdict of "guilty," and His Honor gave the defen dant $25.00 or 30 days. The dol i lars were turned in to the county | treasury. This was the first op portunity our people have hai to see Judge Wallace on th bench, and it is saying no mor than the exact truth when w say he made a splendid impres Ision. lie has that about hit: | which causes people to respec i him. his court and his office j His rulings were prompt.straigh from the shoulder and absolute ly impartial, and his charge 1' the jury clear-cut, incisive am evidenced sound judgment an< s a good knowledge of the law o the case.

GORDON. l Preaches a Special Sermon to Hin > and Touches up the Dispensary. Editor County Record: I did not want to trouble you witl auy more of this kind of thing, bit ) my friend, Mr Gordon, has not goi 1 face enough to meet me in a public ^ debate, so I will have to give bin another rip up the back through the columns of your paper. Now Mr Gordon savs he is jusi as much of a prohibitionist as I am but he is now ashamed because the party is low and corrupt. Mr Gordor cocupies a queer position. He whoopi up the dispensary, but he says in doesn't patrouize it; so if everybody treated the Great Moral Institutior as he does it would soon be put out L business, and of course it will fall ' its own weight. When anything becomes as rotten as the dispensary in days arc numbered. The people will not tolerate it. The dispensary meati6 whiskey and whiskey sold as a beverage in any community or State means de' baucherv. degradation, for there if I ' nor a single human virtue or interer that whiskey does not meuace. It ' is the blight of love; the assassin of ' honor; rhe despoiler of home; the ^ robber of childhood; the leech of ' physical vigor; the deadliest foe* of ' labor; the obstruction of commerce; the waste of capital; the corruption of patriotism; the promoter of crime ' the enemy of all righteousness?vel ' for all this, great and good men,lik< ' Mr Gordon, will try to hold up ttu liquor traffic. Now, Mr Gordon tries to make il appear that the prohibitionists art the most lawless people on earth. 1 wonder if he can't find rottenness in the whiskey crowd. He also tries to show what little sense the pur< prohibitionist has got. Well, I have failed to discover in Mr Gordon'! 1 productions anything that would indicate a close relationship ic t v.o - k'lHULIldll. He also trie? to give the preacher* ) a rap. f Now, 1 want to preach a shori 1 sermon for Mr Gordon's especia - benefit. He says he hai never taksr j one diink, but the bible save: "\Yo< ' to him that putteth the bottle to hi< - neighbor to make him drnnk," ant - also commands us to abstain frim r all appearance of evil. "No druuT art! shall inherit the kingdom o! \ . *' fi4 . v- i-' . .. I heaven.*' "Wine is a mocker; i* ,-tong drink is raging; an<l whosoever e is deceived hereby is noi wise." t* This being the case, it is tnue for i- own thoughtful person to enter a II solemu protest against strong drink, t which every year i* inflicting such >. awful havoc among our people, t Who can be indifferent to the woes - it brings on hearts and homes? j i> There are few homes but have felt; [1 its deadly work. There is not a ;1 newspaper that does not each day f record deeds of violence whose I 1 origin may be directly traced to s i liquor. There is not a public oftir , ears but could bear damning evidence 1 against it, and yet Mr Gordon 1, whoops up the dispensary and why? ', Because (he says) it will keep out s: blind timers. Will it? I say no. j k 1 Why the dupeusary is a verv hot-! s | bed for the tigers. It feeds and j i keeps them alive. How do I know : e; this? Because the dispenser at i Kingwtree told me that before the| e j dispensary was established in Lake! {City he was shipping whiskey to aj ^ | man there who he knew was selling ? it, for he knew no one man was S . ^ : drinking all he bought. Now shall we vote for the two eyed tiger or prohibition? 1 say put the whiskey out ami educate the children so that when they become menand women they will have 110fellowship personally, socially, financially,or politically with the liquor tra" ' tic. The battle may be sharp hut the J victory is sure, and when once you t!stand tirm oil the rock be on the; v! alert to rescue others from the *; raging waters of strong drink. 1 And Diay God hasten the day [ | when Christians may have the . j chauee to vote as t hey pray, s j W.

IJ Editor County Record: Brother Wolfe, don't vou think you were too hard on me in your editorial of Sept. 21st. You seemed ?i to be a little mad. Now, brother, t' we are too good friend* to fall out, t; and 1 am going to reply to yon in : | the best of spirits, and for the good, i j as I conceive it, of your county, t whose people are as dear to me as j those of Florence county. I have tj at times considerable law business , in your county aim have always * met with utmost cordiality from i your people, so that I alinoit feel ^ > like one of them. Now, you say, ; "W F Clayton, the offensive and ; ' defensive 8elf-con?tituted champion ! i of booze for the Pee Dee section.'* ' t Now, brother, is this not unkind? ' I Whence have I ever endeavored to ; have men drink? My advice to 1 ' young men has alwayi been don't ' j touch it. But 1 am aware that ' J humanity at large "is not going to s j take my advice and hence my deiire ' II is to minimize the evils of liquor ' J and at the ?&nie time rai*e revenue. .

Your zeal, if , ; uncnibed, would briug us back to ^ i the days of the Spanish inquisition, 4 ; when only the so-called elect were * t authorized to speak, I know it is i unwelcome for facts to be brought , ; out in this campaign, but, Brother Wolfe, you must grin and bear it. ^ t And while your argument as to the * ' morality side of the question is stroug [ with those who allow the preacher \ t to construe the bible for the m, yet i with me it is wasted, r have sufi ficitut intelligence to interpret plain ; English, and when I see some who i are turning up their eves, putting [ on white cravats*, and otherwise > looking solemn, I am reminded that j it has been handed down from Holy * Writ: "That not every one that \ saith, Lord!
