s ill FAVOR OF RUTLEDGE COUNTY. Sane Old Arguments Rehashed?lake _ City the Chief Consideration. ^ ?r County li'roul: ? .r attention has u en attracted j ti a time to time by bits of arguclippings utid comments in ftur columns to which you nave been pleased to give prominent pub* p i licitv with reference to the new county of Kutledge. Some of these have been provokingly amusing; others, perhaps,h little at variance with the spirit that animates the move* ment. That this phase of tne new county question may be seen in its true light is the purpose of this letter. It has been patent for some time past to all thinking people of Wil^ liamsburg that the time was now at hand when Williamsburg, like many other couuties of the State, had arrived at the place in her history where naturil conditions indicated that she should be cut for the formI ation of a r.e* county; cut within herself or from without. Lake City, one of the leading towns of the county and one of the most progressive in eastern South Carolina, does not propose to sit idly by and allow her birthright to be taken by another. We have claims, we have merit and we have things that belong to us by right of inheritance; and,Mr Editor, you will hnd that the citizeuship of the new county of Rutledge are ashing only for a square deal; only for the rights that legally belong to them,and guaranteed to them by the State of South Carolina. When we first awoke to the fact that we should have to protect our own interest it was upon seeing the surveyors of a new county project passiog along our town boundary and dipping deep down into the very beet territory of old Williamsburg* T'lis was the handwriting on the wall. We awoke! This is a sufficient cause for the whole movement. mr Yet the assertion has been made that this whole movement was gotten up by had speculators and persons seeking selfish ends; but we know these assertions to be false; false in conception, in promulgation and in the object to be obtained. That our movement is a clean, worthy and justifiable one has been amply proven by the unanimous findings of the commission appointed by the Governor, and the stamp of approval by the Governor himself. We have also observed from time to time that you have held out a hope tc the people of lower Wil liamebvrg regarding the formation n nntr AAnnfv nrnKrininff lnorQr Vi o w.mi; ^'"'^'"6 Williamsburg and upper Georgetown counties, and put this forward as a possible reason for voting against Rutledge. That if Kutledge fails, these friends will have au opportunu } ty to try for a new county, we ad| nut, if the requirements could be met; but unless taxable values could be doubled how could they even indulge a hope? Gnftiting that these requirements could be met where would the court house be located? Everything indicates now that Rosemary would sefc^eure the county seat; that is beyond question. How would this suit people eight auu ten miles below Lake City and Kingatree? Where would I the slightest benefit come in for ??em?

"Prohibit the liquor traffic and crime will cease'' is the war-cry of prohibition. The question has become pertinent: Has the number of convictions for crime decreased in States which have been under prohibition? Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont were under prohibitory laws longer than any other States, and continuously, and in them may be expected the fullest fruition of that policy. Referring to the United States census reports, the number of convicts in each of these States from 1850 to 1890 is found as follows: IKK/) iNTfl IK*) IK!*) Under license. Under prohibition. Maine 100 235 261 M5 512 New Hampshire83 183 207 205i 3*1 yermont .105 189 193 258 200 We gave facts and figures last week showing that after fifty years of prohibition there were in Maine more than/o?/r times as many criminals for every million of population as there were in the same State before it had prohibition. In 1850 New Hampshire, under license, had in her penal institutions 33 convicts, or 104 to every million of population. This State also adopted prohibition shortly after 1850, and the number of convicts increased steadily to 193 in 1860, 267 in 1870, 269 in 1880 and 321 in 1890, the number of convicts per million of population in the latter year being 853. There were, therefore, in New Hampshire, after forty years of prohibition, eiqht times as many criminals, per million of population, as there were under license. Vermont was under license in 1850. She had in that year 105 convicts, or 334 tor every million population. She adopted prohibition betweeu 1850 and 1800. In the latter year the number of her criminals had grown to 189, and this number increased to 193 in 1870, to 258 in 1880, and 200 in 1890, or to 602 for eyery million of population. In Vermont, therefore, the number of criminals per million of population, after forty years of prohibition, was double the number under license. The steady increase in crime from decade to decade under prohibition as shown by these figures is most remarkable. Does prohibition prohibit? Let the figures tell. They are the best evidence. More Anon. A Night RMer's Raid. The worst night riders are calo- j mel, crotoa oil or aloes pills. They raid your bed to rob you of rest. Not so with Dr King's New Life Pills. They never distress or inconvenience, but always cleanse the system, curing Colds, Headache,Constipation, Malaria, 25c at D C Scott's. Epilepsy, Fits "My son was cured of a very; bad case of epilepsy with Dr. Miles' Nervine." MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, O. "My little daughter who was afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance is now entirely well after taking Dr. Miles' Nervine only four months." MRS. C. G. BENNETT, Alma, Mich. Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus' Dance and Spasms, are all nervous diseases. They have been cured in so many instances with Dr. Miles' Nervine that it is reasonable to conclude that it is almost sure to cure you. With nervous diseases of a severe type, persistent use has almost invariably resulted in a complete cure or lasting benefits, worth mtnrr fimpc rr?Qf- nf the rem- I cdy. The best evidence you can get of its merits is to write to those who have used it. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take j it all according to direction^, and | if it does not benefit he will return your money. HANDICAPPED. This Is the Case with Many Kingstree People.
