THE QUESTION SHOULD NOT BE
VIEWED FROM STAND-POINT t
OF REVENUE.
Editor County Record: ?
In your last week's issue appeared
an article from the News & Courier,
u lder the caption: "Is the Prohibi-;
tion Wave Receding?" This article
was written by some whiskey man
who wishes prohibition to be a fail- j
ure. The whole article went to prove
that the cpunties which retained;
dispensaries were making money by
selling whiskey. I have never heard
any one claim that whiskey selling!
was not a money-making business.
Bar-keepers' wives are always pic-1
tured as dressing in silks and riding ;
in fine carriages. What we claim is j
that God's cur3e always rests upon j
the money thus made. In years gone
by men considered respectable sold
whiskey and made money thereby;
since that time the public conscience
f has been quickened and educated to
the paint of knowing that the busi- '
* ness is dirty and degrading. Now 1
no self-respecting man will engage
in the business outright; but is glad
to profit by having some other man
do the work he is too respectable (?)
to do himself,not recognizing the fact
that the man who dispenses the
whiskey by his vote is his agent and 1
is po more responsible for the thing
than he himself.
It is indeed a sad fact that the
men of Williamsburg have been so
? - ?^ {?% kmnn/y fkn i 1
negligent ui uieu uutjr m uatmg wv ,
prohibition law enforced, but this:
does not prove that the law is not
right and good; it rather proves that i
the devil has a way of putting men'
to sleep and making them feel so j
comfortable that they do not wish
to be roused up and put to work. i
It is no uncommon thing to hear
our officers highly complimented as j
brave men, able and willing to have'
the 1aws enforced. In some respects
they nave earned this high praise, j
We have had mysterious murders1
in the county since these men have !
held office and by determined effort
the guilty parties have been hunted
down and brought to justice in spite'
of the attending mystery. But*,
strange to say,this has not been done
i in every case. Some months ago a
poor man was found dead in Black \
rivei swamp. The circumstances of
his death were indeed horrible. He
was a murdered man, as was shown
by the bottle of whiskey found on
his person. That whiskey was the
mstr.ar.ent of murder: the lawless
wret~h who sold it to him was the
murderer. It would not have been j
impossible to trace that crime to the
guilty party and have that party
punished. Has anything been done'
in the matter? If so,we have never
heard of it. Strange, indeed!! Ye
brave, fearless office bearers, what
of these facts? Do you dare lay this
at the door of "prohibition can't
prohibit"? The time will come
when this terrible wrong will be i
laid at other doors.
The prohibition law is right and
right will eventually prevail. We
are not alarmed about that, still we
know that God works through men,
and if the present men of Williamsburg
are false to this duty which has
come to them, they may go on and j
sell w hiskey for the present and they,
will make make money by it, as'
whiskey sellers have always done;j
but C od's curse will go with it. That (
curse will rest upon their own souls,,
upon their homes, their children, j
their church organizations and upon

Will money pay the price?
The next election is near at hand.
I
Prohibitionist, will you lend your
hand at this time, or will you allow
the ground you have gained to be;
taken by the enemy? Lose no time j
in calling together the true men of
the county and bringing out a strong j
prohibition ticket for the Senate and
the House of Representatives. We
have the men. Let me nominate C
W Wolfe for the Senate and E B
Rhodus to head the ticket for the
House. They are not office seekers
but will respond to duty's call.

Kingstree, May 30.
(The editor of The Record appreciates
the implied compliment in the
concluding paragraph of the foregoing
article. He would be guilty of
great insensibility not to feel deeply
grateful for the many offers of sup- '
port by loyal and influential friends
in connection with the office referred !
to. He regrets that it is impossible
to heed the call of "duty's voice"? !
if it may so be considered?but one
obstacle alone would preclude, that
of ill health. We need strong men at !
this time to represent our county? (
men of virile energy, as well as 1
broad intelligence and high character).

THE SAGE OF 'POSSUM FORK
Discourses on Comets and Their
Functions-Wonders of Space.
Editor County Record: -We are
watching every evening the swiftly
receding Halley's comet and musing
on its vast journey of six thousand
millions of miles before it can get
back with another load of sun fuel:
for it is said its elliptical pathway
extends far beyond the orbit of Neptune,
our most distant planet, which
takes 164 of our years to make one
of his.
Other comets will visit us, however,
over and over again, before
Halley's comet can make another
round of 76 years, for there are
many hundreds of them throughout
our solar system, and .it is conjectured
that some of them visit also
other solar systems, although it is
more than twenty thousand millions
of miles to the nearest sun.
But (outside the planets), every
star is a sun, moving with vast speed,
with all their attendants, around
3ome great common centre, just as
all our planets revolve around our
sun. And if all these millions of
suns are fed by comets-1-scavengers
of creation?what an army of fuel
gatherers in natifre!
Yes, God's plantation is the universe
of suns and solar systems of
planetary worlds, intermingled with
comets and flying debris, like bees
in a forest; everything on the move,
centrifugal motion counteracting
universal attraction, or gravitation;
all?all is perpetual motion, from
Luc icoot .nicicunv; stuuc, iiiuviu^ m
its own individual orbit, to the largest
of planetary worlds?yes, all?
mns, planets, worlds, comets and
debris of every description, in. one
arrand, universal perpetual motion
around the throne of God?heaven
itself. And we?poor little human
beings- are snugly ensconced under
a bomb-proof atmosphere that burns
into vapor nearly all the flying
meteoric stones that assail us day
and night, and causes to float away,
harmless, any and all poisonous gases
that comets' tails can ever bring
along, our atmosphere being heavier
than the gases which scientists try
to frighten us with.
No wonder the Psalmist said:
"What is man, that Thou art mindful
of him, or the son of man that Thou
visitest him?" "Thou madest him a
little lower than the angels, but
crownest him with glory and honor."
"Well done, thou good and faithful
servant; thou has b^n faithful over
a few things, I will make* thee ruler
over many things." But, Mr Editor,
I am going over there before long,
and shall understand and see things
better than I can here in
'Possum Fork.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
t>I ...... 4.^ ...?
car. lucre ia unij' uuc w<%y tu euic
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mu1
cous lining- of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
this inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caus
ed by catarrh; that cannot be curea
by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
