THF EVILS OF WHISKEY.
The Results of Intemperance
Categorically Considered.
Eiitor County Record:?
I wish to express my views or
whiskey and its evil effects. Now,
at the outset,I wish to state that the
writer is not a teetotaler but does
believe in certain restrictions as to
the sale of this evil. I am able to
prove to the reading public that the
use of whiskey to an excess does
produce illiteracy, ignorance am
h crime in every neighborhood where
it is sold and drunk to an excess.
Now, I will endeavor to show to
your readers from six distinct standpoints
the evils of this accursed and
blended bait of the devil. Now, evil
No 1, the little bright-eyed boys
and girls of the drunken father are
totally deprived of an education and
go out into the world as hewers of
wood and drawers of water for those
who are more fortunate. The father
has spent their intelligence and future
happiness for a bottle of the
sin-cursed whiskey. Think of this,
fathers,drink the birth-right of your
dear children and see them grope
+V>oir wsiv in iimorance through life.
Evil No 2, the suffering and anguish
of the fond wife of the drunken
husband and father.'See the dear
wife and beloved mother going around
the whiskey-stricken home with a
black eye from the burly fist of an
ignoble drunk man. This same wife
with bjood-shot eyes was the pride
and apple of the eye of this husband
before the accursed rum ever crossed
the lips of t'-is husband and father.
Cleave to rum and forsake the wife
and little loved ones?can man be
human and do this?
Evil No 3, the thought and pangs
of a gray-headed father and mother
who are brought in the years of their
dotage to face the evils of a drinking
son. Those old forms of humanity
have been caused to pray God
that you had never been born, while
in some cases these gray hairs are
ronont-fnr it is knnwn that
VOUOVU VV/ i v pv 4ib| & V4 ? - ?
eome fathers held the first glass to
the son's lips. When this son has
' been degraded by drink and crime
4 until this father is finally brought
face to face with this son on the
gallows then the words are heard:
"Father I never would have been
brought to this if you had not put
this evil to my lips." Will God hold
the father guiltless?
Evil No 4, the evil of your drinking
influence in your community.
See the evil influence of drii king. It
you were to find a young man hungry
on the streets you would think it
hard to give him 10 cents, but if the
drunkard could get him to drink a
$1.50 hoitle of whiskey with him,
this would please this drunkard, because
it is sowing the seed of the
devil. Watch those seed germinate.
Evil No 5, the one who sells this
cursed, home-destroying, love-sap
ping evil. Woe be unto him in the
last day. He who holds this bait ol
the devil -ays: "Come, all you whc
cannot resist the temptation. I will
furnish you with the evil, the arm
munition to kill your loved ones; ]
will assist you in destroying youi
home, your wife's and your children's
t ippiness and if necessary ]
will put the means in your reach tc
take your own life." Then this seller
of rum will sear his own conscience
by saying, "I did not make him buj
the rum." Mr Whiskey Seller, die
you know that whiskey is the onh
thing on earth that an honest drunk
ard will steal? God alone knows i
drunkard's weakness. Some of then
will sell their last morsel to eat frorr
their family to get money for rum
Still those men love their families
This is the kind of drunkards whc
rob the community of intelligence
and happiness.
~ r i.u?
hv'l >o t>, tne sins 01 me jwiem.are
visited on the children to the
third and fourth generations. Now
dear readers, this is proof that the
son inherits the poison and evil ol
drink from the father and grand-fa
ther. Shall I account to Almight}
God for the drunken deeds of mj
grandsons? Nevertheless medical
science will show that the poison oj
alcohol has been handed down to th(
second and third generations. Som<
of our old countries make it a crim
inal offence for a man to become in

State have drunkenness punished by
imprisonment? If he is found drunk
: again,disfranchise him for life. This
law will lessen drink and make
thousands of homes happy that are
i now desolate and sad from the ef,
feet of drink. Subscriber.

11 Observations of Newspaper Man
11 Aneat Our Town's Progress.
Mr J E Norment.the brilliant and
1 j versatile newspaper writer known
i and loved all over South Carolina,
1 j was so impressed with Kingstree's
marvelous growth and improvement
| while on a visit here recently that he
wrote a letter to the Columbia State
1 telling in characteristic style his im'
i pressions of the old town after an
i eight years' absence. "Our Ed," as
the late lamented Col James T Ba1
con was wont to affectionately refer
' to him, although out of active newspaper
work for some time, has lost
' j nothing of his charming style and
graphic power of expression, as the
following product of his facile pen
will prove:
Ancient,honored and hoary Kingstree,
the capital of old Williamsburg
county, with its history and its tra
; ditions! Kingstree has awakened,
has put on the garments of fresh
ness and youth and is not only keep;
ing up with, but is actually setting
the pace for younger growing towns.
Your correspondent had not been to
Kingstree for some eight or ten years
until a few days ago, and he was literally
lost?and Kingstree has no
dispensary, not a single blind tiger.
(?)
The growth and improvement here
are simply marvelous. The topography
of the former town remains the
same, except where the opening of
new streets made necessary changes.
The historic old court house has been
splendidly furnished throughout, a
handsome iron fence now surrounds
the square, cement walks are all
around the building, which has not
been changed from the striking old
architectural design which has stood
as a landmark, ancient and honored,
for so many historic years.
New buildings are literally every>
where. It is hard to find them thicki
er during the same length of time,
, nor of finer design and finish. Plate
glass.iron and brick,with cement and
' granite occasionally thrown in, are
f the materials used, and modern design
and finish are always in evii
dence. If the patent medicine device,
. "before and after taking," were
' here available, marvelous things
would be seen.
The brand of medicine here used
is not patented, is open to all, a free
race,no cost,as to the purchase price
alone, guaranteed to do what the
users and dispensers claim for it.
For this patent medicine is only a
; combination of local pride, exempli;
fied by local work, done by an entire
t and interested community.
A potent factor here seen and,in
evidence is furnished by that same
wonderful force, the power and con!
sequent results of which are so little
understood. This ignorance is so
; general and is so all-pervading that
I fear this force is not even known
as it should be at Kingstree, where
[ its beneficial effects are so marked
: and of such fine calibre?The
> County Record and its editor and
| proprietor, C W Wolfe. This is the
source from which much of this
wonderful growth has sprung. This
is a well-edited, well-managed paper,
with a large circulation, and
with the influence that comes from
[ such a journal, when an educated,
patriotic editor is doing work without
hope of any adequate return,
but because it is a matter of princi!
pie. Like The Record, the growth of
r Kingstree and its environs is well
I balanced, symmetrical and of a
. higher order than is usually the case,
and this progress was never better
or healthier than it now is.
1 The Kellahan hotel is one of the
1 most striking exponents of this rej
cent spirit of improvement. The
building is modern and handsome,
well built ami commodious, airy and
comfortable, the rooms being unusu)
ally comfortable,and under the man;
agement of J W Chandler this hostelry
furnishes a home for travelers
second to none of a town of its size,
5 no matter where it is to be found.

Folly of Burning Off Woods.
Dr Cooper Curtice, of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
who has had many years' experience
in tick eradication work, says that
the idea that burning off the forests
will get rid of ticks is all wrong. "It
is true that at certain times of the
year burning the grass on an enclosed
field may remove the ticks
wherever the fire travels, but even
j then many places remain unburned
J and the owner depends on the fire
j for eradication, and consequently
| fails. Whenever the grass is repeat
edly burned,the roots become eventually
destroyed, the sweeter grasses
give way to the more resistant, and
finally the latter perish. Firing the
leaves has not eradicated ticks, ali
though followed for yeafk" Farming
with fire is generally very poor
farming, and unrestrained fire in a
forest is always harmful.?Raleigh

Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes.The kidneys filter the blood,
When healthy they remove about
500 grains of impure matter daily,
when unhealthy some of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symptoms?pain
in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism,
gout, gravel, disorders of the

But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid!
neys.
Mrs R B Smith, Logan St, Kingstree,
S C, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
have been of great benefit to me
and consequently I highly recommend
them. I had kidney trouble
for some time and suffered a great
deal from dull, nagging backaches.
Headaches and pains in my kidneys
were common and I always had a
tired, worn-out feeling. Recently I
j procured a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills and upon taking them as directed,
I was greatly relieved. My
strength and energy returned and
my condition improved in every
way."
