Favors the Dispensary.
Editor County Record:?
'Tissaid that "fools rush in where
angels fear to tread," but as the an.
gels have already rushed in, the fool
may cautiously sally forth, so here
coes.
To begin with, I am a prohibitionist.
I have voted that ticket straight
for 20 years whenever the chance
presented itself; but if I vote in the
approaching election I expect to vote
for the dispensary. Why?
Now, the first, as well as the last
thing a human being needs and uses
is air. It is only,however,from about
the 18th or 20th year that they be-1
gin the use, more or less, of h',f air.
For twenty years I imbibed that stuff
and voted accordingly.but I've quit.
Four years ago. when the dispensary
closed itsdoors.I doubt very much
whether there were five places in the
county where whisky was sold. Now,
I suppose.it can be bought in at least
one hundred blind tigers, and you
nnnnle livintr nut in the countrv are
rvvt,v o ?
the greatest sufferers, as it was very
difficult for a boy to get it from the
dispensary; whereas, the blind tiger
runner will sell to boys as soon as he
will to the confirmed drunkard.
The honest element of the antidispensary
crowd (and I say honest
element advisedly, for you surely
know that the blind tiger and all its
influence will go with you) charge,
as a rule,that the blind tiger is a result
of inefficient officers. I say emwknfinnl
N? fkof fkifl 1C nnf ffllO
^/ItCiWlVOllJ Uiov U1IO IO UW Vi wv.
Don't every one of you know that
these blind tigers watch for an officer,
"like startled hare the baying
hound"? I'll tell you plainly where
the fault lies, even if it does hurt
you. It is because you are ever
ready uith that hot air I spoke of.
instead of going to an officer and
saying, "Come on, I'll help you; I will
show you my faith by my works,
come," and then stand by, with and
fnr Kim onrl ho W>11 show vnn results.
Instead, what do you do? You
hail one of us and whisper darkly
that such and such a bloke has just
shied around the corner with quite
supply of John Barleycorn, "sick
him," and immediately vanish from
the scene of action. In the meantime
there are sundry and various pairs
of eyes watching that package to
share its contents and to see that its
distribution is not interrupted by
the enemy. We sneak off,cut across
lots, climb into garrets, crawl under
houses, bump our heads, get cobwebs
on our clothes and otherwise
maltreat and abuse ourselves, with
nothing doing as a net result. Too
many pairs of eyes watching us and
ready to take cover at the slightest
shaking of the bush.
Now, this brings me down to the
point where I am willing to make
this assertion, which I do with the
utmost respect for the honest element
who intend to vote against the
J* -P At-~ Ul? ??
dispensary, iur uic uuuic men emu i
women who are praying for its defeat?there
are more men going to
vote for it on account of that same
thing >ou call conscience than there
are on the other side.
We will say, for argument's sake,
that there will be 1,000 vutes cast
against the dispensary. If there are
100 blind tigers running, which any
well-informed person should admit,
they, to a man, will vote against it.
Put that 100, with all that they can
vote, and it will probably be 400, or
T\r?oai*hlv mnrp and this will leave VOU
600 who are honestly anxious to see
it defeated, provided hot air alone
will do it.
I assume that the dispensary will
win by a small margin, say 2,200
votes cast.making 1,200 for it. We
haven't any of the tigers voting
with us, so it is a straight and not a
mixed vote we count on, and I cannot
and will r*ot believe that a majority
of the peeple will vote for the
^ iU a 1
dispensary except as mc n-aan v*
the ttvo evils that now confront us.
Whenever Congress, the only
source of help we have to look to,
shall enact a law making it a penitentiary
o.fense for any common
carrier to convey liquor or any agent
to deliver it and that every shipment
shall be plainly marked whisky, beer
or wine, as the case might be, then
the majority of us,v.*ho now see this
evil spreading out in the hands of
the lawless, will join hands with the i

reopie advancing ?? ouuuu*
lx? very careful of their health during
the hot months, as heat has a
very enervating: and weakening effect
on them. One has only to look at
the daily list of fatalities to elderly
people reported by the papers to realize
that these are the hardest
months for them to overcome.
The easily digested foods should be
eaten, and then only sparingly, and
alcoholic beverages and iced things
should be avoided as much as possible.
Exercise should be taken daily
in the shade. Most important of all
in the maintenance of health and vigor
at this time is to avoid constipation
with its accompanying headaches
and muscular and blood congestion.
This is accomplished by the timely
use of a gentle laxative like Dr Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. It is the ideal
laxative for elderly people, as it is
mild, tastes pleasant and does not
gripe. Best of all, it contains val'
? *-_ A.! iL.i U..CIJ
uaoie ionic properties mat uunu
and strengthen the sy.-tem.
Elderly people should avoid strong
physics, cathartics, purgatives, salts
and pills, as they are a shock to the
better element under the other banner
and fight it out. It has not been
three months since the railroads,
pretending fear of the Webb bill,
stopped transporting liquor. How
long befere it was resumed? Two
weeks, and the blind tigers resumed
the even tenor of their way, and the
men and boys who patronized them
laughed gleefully at this magnificent
farce.
I have chosen not to speak of the
financial side of this issue.being convinced
that a vast majority of the
dispensary supporters intend to vote
for it simply because they believe it
the best way to handle it and that it
tf'tf/ be handled.
You who oppose us say that we
are going to vote to put the cup to
??? naidrkKnr'c Hrvs find fnrhid! Rut
if the cup must needs be passed, let
us at least put the fountain where
we can watch it and not suffer a
thousand polluted springs to grow
and flourish in the borders of our
dear old county. v
The fight is on, and if the dispensary
is defeated it will be by the
supporters of the blind tiger element
and not by th")se who pny
and preach. M.

Bow Days Were Named.
The days of the week get their
names from very,very long ago when
the Norsemen had never heard of
Christianity. In those days they worshipped
the sun, and Sun's day was
named for it. Moon's day (Monday)
was the wife of the sun, and, of
course, had to be honored also. Tyr
was the god of war and so they had
Tyr'8 da^ (Tuesday,) while Wednesday
is Woden's day, the god of the
Norsemen's heaven. Thor was the
god of strength, so he has Thursday.
Friday is Freya's day. Freya was
Woden's wife and Thor's mother.
The last of the days, Saturday, gets
its name from a Roman god, Saturn,
who presided over the games on a
holiday called the Saturnalia, so that
it is nnite aDDroDriate that our Sat
urday should be a holiday, too.

Sow Oats Early This Year.
It is not too early to begin planning
for getting the oats sowed early
enough this fall. Year after year
oats are sowed during November,or
left until February or March, that
might have been put in during the
latter part of September or during
the first half of October, if the work
i
had been better planned.
It is better to sow oats in cotton,
either broadcast or in drills?two

It is always a difficult matter
for the cotton and corn farmer
to get the oats in early enough, but
every effort practicable should be
exerted to get them in before the
middle of October and in the northern
part of those sections where oats
are sowed in the fall, they should be
sowed by September 15.?The Progressive
