A DELIGHTFUL OCCASION. "Get-Together" Meeting at Indl- E antown School. < 4 Cooper,September 3:?The last of the "get-together" meetings which c the ladies have been holding at Indi- T antown schoolhouse monthly during n the summer was held this afternoon and was indeed a "howling" success. v The meeting was open to all, ladies 0 and gentlemen, boys and girJs, and 8 merriment reigned supreme for two P hours or more. Miss Jane Ervin P played "Humoresque" most delight- n fully on the piano. Then Mr D E McCutchen, as "Old Black Joe", " brought down the house; and not a content with the laughter he pro- s voked on the stage, he must needs 0 raise shrieks of merriment after 2 coming down into the audience by a the osculation of one of his friends, whose attempts to get his cheek h back to its natural hue were fun- I producing. The dogs the married c men then drew on the board could n scarcely be recognized as dogs, but P Mr T M Cooper won the blue ribbon. c It was uncertain whether the cats c the ladies modeled at the table were c cats or rats,but one was found which d looked something like a cat, so Mrs t John Bartell, being the creator, won c the ribbon. i' Miss Lucile Cooper sang "Laddie" t very sweetly and Miss Virginia Wil- v son recited "Somebody's Mother" S with touching pathos. v Then the eating contests were on. e Mr Royster and Mr Kemper Hill. F blindfolded, attempted to fe^d each c other corn flakes. Each one says he t got one flake. Mr Braxton Lovett E then ran a race with Mr Ross Rol- E lins in eating three crackers, but laughter doesn't seem to accelerate ? such a stunt, and Mr Rollins won e out. William Cooper and Liston Bar- t tell tried to beat each other to a t piece of candy tied in the middle of h a string by chewing the string, one at each end. Liston "got there" S first. c The culmination of the fun was in r the "spelling bee" between the i young people and the married folk, t Miss Thelma Snowden and Mrs DE a McCutchen captained the respective ? sides. One by one the spellers dropped i out; "guerilla" had its victims, as a did "obeisance" and "chandelier". e At last the captain of the young i people spelled round after round f with three of the married team, e Then one went down on "pharynx", F one on "sherbet" and the last on f "masquerade". So amid shouts and ' laughter Miss Snowden was deco- ^ rated with blue ribbons galore, all that had been won in the crowd being contributed to do her honor. ^ Mrs. Weech's Campaign. ? ? Mouzons,September 3:?Mrs Amy C Weech of Alexandria, Va, accom- ,j panied by Rev D A Phillips of Kingstree,arrived at Mouzons school about 11 a.m.Tuesday,where a large . and enthusiastic concourse of people had gathered to welcome them and hear Mrs Weech's discourse. But ^ the rain fell in torrents, and the ^ school house not being large enough A- * ' 1' n WMAnf rwottl? ^ lO noiu Lilt; ptrupit:, tt JJlccn. mauj ^ were deprived of hearing her. But ^ those who were able to hear her speech are loud in their praises. That night she went over to Oak g Dale school house at the request of some that were at Mouzons. We are sorry to say, however, that no one met her there. Next day Mrs f Weech went to Mt Vernon church. When she arrived the place was ? crowded, and they enjoyed a great g] treat in the way of a speech. She c told how old Virginia went dry and expressed a hope that South Carolina will go dry September 14, 1915. If the crowd that was at Mouzons and Mt Vernon is an indication of I^AIf\l A ...ill OalliU PO* 1^ now mc fcnrupic win vuic, ouuui v. ai olina will go dry September 14. * If South Carolina dt n't go dry, it will be because the people don't turn out and vole. Prohibitionists, let ^ nothing hinder you from go.ng to ^ the polls and voting to rid our beloved State of the accursed liquor , traffic. Let's add South Carolina to the white States, which now number eighteen. Let's redeem South Caro- ^ lina September 14,1915,for the sake of our women and children. e Hoping that when the vote is fcounted on the 14th there will be J such a majority for prohibition as c never has been before. J T F. I Dispensary or Prohibition. klitor County Record:? Solomon, the wisest man, says: The drunkard and the glutton shall ome to poverty." (Prov. 23:21). 'his is true with the drunkard in lorals, health and wealth. Drunkenness is justly chargeable nth a large percentage of the crime f today. Few well-informed perons will place this at less than 50 ?er cent; some place it as high as 95 er cent. Drunkenness rots the loral fibre of the soul. Drunkenness shortens life. No isurance company can insure drunkrds as cheaply as it can tctal abtainers, because the average length f the drunkard's life is more than 0 years less than that of the total bstainer. Drunkenness consumes wealth and linders its increase. The bill of the Jnited States for alcoholic liquors onsumed, much of which is an ecoiomic waste, is about $2,000,000,000 er annum; the indirect cost in dereased efficiency of workers (inluding sickness and death from alohol) is probably greater than the lirect cost. The vice president of he C Iron Works said that his ompany could have afforded to pay ts employes $250,000 more than heir wages while Billy Sunday was working among them because Mr lunday got them on the "water t-agon" and accidents decreased and fficiency increased. Total abstinence ays morally, hygienically and finan Sally, while drunkenness means >roken hearts, ruined homes, crimes, toverty, disgrace, disease and often iremature death. What method shall the State of louth Carolina adopt to combat the vils of drunkenness? On Septemier 14 it must choose either a coninuation of the dispensary or prolibition. 1 In the dispensary the entire >tate?every man, woman and hild?is engaged through their epresentative, the dispenser, in sellng intoxicants for profit, even when he sale and profits are confined to i single county. In this system the >tate furnishes its citizens the emptation to become drunkards, md it is responsible to God for the vils resulting from the intoxicants t sells. In every crime resulting rom such sales the State is a partler and it will receive its portion of >unishment in due time from the tighteous Judge. 'Though the mills of God grind slowly, They grind exceeding small; 'hnncrh with natienee He stants waitine*. With exactness grinds He all." The profits from the dispensary, oo, are misleading, because it is the State's wealth, though in the posession of its citizens, which is largey wasted in making the profits, 'he unearned wealth of the State? inearned because of the decreased fficiency of citizens resulting from ntoxicants?is probably greater han the entire profits of the dispensary. The pig story aptly illusrates dispensary profits. A man iuys a pig for $1.50, feeds it $9.00 irorth of corn and then sells it for 7.50. While he loses on the corn ie makes $6,00 on the pig, besides laving the pleasure of a hog as ompanion and the odor of the pig ty for many months. Under a wise prohibition law aithfully executed one may safely rediet decrease in crime, increase * ' 1 -1 ? l longevity ana sucn an increase 01 axible wealth as shall more than ompensate for the loss of dispenary profits. A higher order of itizenship will follow when sobriety akes the place of drunkenness. The true standpoint from which 3 view this subject is the welfare f the State. Will the dispensary rofits and drunkenness resulting herefrom, with crimes, sickness, eath, poverty and misery following e as great a benefit to South Carona as sobriety resulting from proibition, even though in some cases he sobriety is enforced?

There's 110 reason why a person should take sickening, salivating calomel when 50 cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone?a perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid ; which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and cannot salivate. Children and grown folk can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones.

The Record has received a copy of the following open letter, with the request to publish it. The pamphlet referred to is not very much unlike hundreds of others that are being sent broadcast through the mails into South Carolina at this time on account of the approaching election.! The letter follows: Greelyville, September 2, 1015. National Liquor Dealers' Association of America, Cincinnati, 0. Gentlemen: A few days ago 1 received from you a pamphlet and I am glad to say I cannot agree with you regarding prohibition. In the first place, you are bound to acknowledge that those who deal ? ---i. _ .1 31.. | in liquor are dealing out a ueauiy blow to the human lace, and if it were not for the money you make out of it you would not be engaged in such a business. For the sake of profit to your pockets you are distributing the deadly stuff all over America to kill out and take the manhood and womanhood from our country. This you cannot help but admit,and then to put up a plea,and advertise it, such as is contained in your little pamphlet, which is misleading, I cannot understand. Grant that your figures are correct: any State would be proud to bond itself to pay the taxes that are being paid more than double by human lives on account of the deadly stuff you make and distribute. Our State is to vote on the 14 th day of this month on State-wide prohibition, and I trust that we shall carry it overwhelmingly dry. 1 also trust that the time is not far distant when we can enjoy national Statewide prohibition, and I hope to live to see the day when the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association will fail to exist, and you who are members of this association who are dealing deadly poison to the human race will be in some good business that will be for the betterment of the 1 unan race, rather than killing it out with the deadly poison you are now making. Yours truly, T W Boyle. In Memoriam. Salters, September 1:?In sad but loving remembrance of Mrs Mary M Guess, beloved wife of B H Guess, who departed this life September 1,1914. A devoted and loving wife, a fond and affectionate mother, a good Christian and a friend to all. One sad year ago today the Angel of Death came and took from us the light of our home, and hid forever from our sight the form of our cherished beloved one, but in our hearts her memory lives, and time will serve to keep fresh in our minds the sweet memory of her love. Lonely the house and sad the hour Since our dear one has gone, But oh, a brighter home than oars, In Heaven is now ner own. She shall sleep, but not forever.' In the lone and silent grave. Blessed be the Lord that taketh. Blessed be the Lord that gave. In the bright eternal city, Death can never, never come; In His own good time He'll call us To His home, sweet home above. Children. Thou ait gone, but not forgotten, Nor ever will thou be, For as long as life and memory last I will remember thee. It Husband. ^y^V-TisW Will cure your Rheumatism tfeuralgia, Headaches, Cramps.
