p*?"f"? ? ?^ {IT'S GO ?t, Since this is tru< f Bargains in * i 7 I to suit any family from fath I , S j ?i? PROHIBITION PRINCIPIES ARE ROCK-RIBBED. I 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 ?ojsj ?p^o ? OD LUCF e, as well as the fact that when vc Dress Goods, er down. By calling at our store 1 TICK LET ?KEEP YOl | many innocent ones who must suffer through no wrong of their own. 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. Lover of Right. 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). SALTERS SITTINGS.

Large!' congregations gathered to hear him J morning and evening during the week and on Sunday as well. The closing exercises of Salters Graded school will take place Tuesday night. Under the able manage- ' ment of Misses White and Arthur, the popular principal and assistant, respectively, the school has enjoyed a very successful term. Both these ladies have been elected for another j year. Miss Emma Nettles of Sumter is visiting her sister, Mrs J H L Chandler.

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 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.
