Andrews, January 23:?It would I e an astonishing sight to some to ?ee at this time what is known as the Harpers old "cross roads." There is now a solid farm for nearly three miles in every direction. I suppose there are several thousand acres in this farm, which is about four miles long, bounded by the main Gapway road. Besides, this clearing has an up-to-date wire fence around it, also many lcrge canals mnninor thrnncrh this land into John son swamp. The writer took a drive last Sunday afternoon through this * immense farm and got lost;thesemar velous improvements have changed things so that one living here for 20 years would lose his bearings. I am sure the former owner of this place, Mr Edwin Harper, would be lost at his old home. . Those energetic pioneers, Messrs W H Andrews, John White and Norman Cooke, are doing a great work to develop this community. May they liye long and reap [ the fruits of their industry and eni terprise. i A meeting of citizens of Andrews was held in the town hall last Friday night to discuss pro and con the es| tablishment of a dispensary in this little town. There was some strong argument against the establishing of this evil. If the readers of The Record remember, just three years ago the people of this end of town asked for a dispensary at what at that time was known ss Harpers. The promoters of the dispensary now were the very ones who fought H then, as they said, from a business and moral standpoint. At that time it was Said that -a dispensary here would rain the business of F Rhem 41 Sons and the business of the A C L Corporation. Now,what hate become of the morals and the finances of F Rhem ft Sons and the ft C L Corporation? I want it thoroughly understood that the writer is not s teeiiUler.but if our town has lrved v and prospered heretofore without the sWe of-ruin; we don't need it now? We have a town of five or ml churches of several denominations; we have one of the finest schools in the State; we have several public halls and prosperous fraternal orders here and not a dollar of whisky money is invested . in them. Shall our dear-children be called on to stand ,in this school and overlook the sale of rum and see drunkenness daily? Our people will not stand for it. We see the hand-writine on the wall: God in His wisdom will not allow it to come. He works in a mysterious way to check the work of the 1 i r\ ? i?;i j devil and nis plans. Lion i uunu your town with the morais of your sons and make idiots out of our rising generation. Besides, the Georgetown board said Williamsburg: was putting in a dispensary Harpers to gain trade from Georgetown county. Now, what is Georgetown, doing? Again, the Georgetown board of control said they would never grant a dispensary in the county outside of the one that is now at the county seat. Over fifty people heard this expression from their lips. Now, it is up to this board to stick to this or tell a clear-cut falsehood. Can they deny this? Subscriber.
