There are many of us who might believe in the dispensa? ry if it were run strictly according to law, but the whiskey business is a bad business at best, and a clean, honest man cannot afford to go into it if he expects to remain honest.

After a long interval of patient waiting the Monaghan Hose company has at last obtained a pair of beauti? ful horses to draw their hose wagon and well did they bide their time, for by so doing they secured a magnifi? cent pair of well-matched animals that are without superiors in the state. The horses were shipped to Charles? ton for the fire department there, but as nearly all of the money appropri? ated by the city for that purpose had been expended, and because of the high price wanted, the Charleston firemen were compelled to let a splen? did opportunity for increasing of tho efficiency and the beauty of their de? partment slip. As a consequence of this, the local firemen were put in communication with the owner of the horses, which resulted in their send ing Chief Hood and Mr. C. W. Stan sill there with authority to make a purchase if, in their opinion, the horses were suitable for the service. The trial was highly satisfactory and terms having been agreed upon the horses were purchased, and are now in the city. A finer pair of animals has never been seen in Sumter, they are beau? tiful in form, dark iron grays with white tails, and look as if they might have stepped out of Rosa Bonheur's "Horse Fair." The horses are full brothers and are perfectly matched, even in weight, there is but forty pounds difference between the two, one weighs 1.405 pounds and the oth? er 1,445. They were raised in In? diana, and have only recently com. South. The price paid for them is said to be between $700 and $800. The members of Monaghan Hose company are to be congratulated up? on getting such a splendid team, and too much praise cannot be accorded Messrs. R. S. Hood and C. W. Stan sill, who selected them.

A few years ago several young busi? nessmen of Charleston, a majority of them traveling salesmen for wholesale shoe houses of that city decided to go ;into business on their own account. In pursuance of their plan the Drake Inness-Green Shoe Company was or? ganized The men who compost d this company were progressive, energetic and knew the needs of the trade in the territory. The company succeed? ed from the start and its business grows larger each season in the Char? leston territory, which includes this State, parts of North Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and is extending into outlying territory and the isles of the sea. The secret of the success of this company is really no secret, for suc? cess has been won by selling tne bett g"ods for the least money and keeping always ahead of competitors in prices quality and *tyi6S. On a recent trip of Mr. B. F. McLeod, the president of the company, to Porto Rico he se? cured an order from one firm for 29, 000 pairs of shoes, the bill amounting to more than $30,000. Before the goods conld be shipped the order was in? creased by mail to nearly 31,COO pairs. This order was secured in competition with a numbrr ot the largest shoe honses in other parts of the United States. The leading brand of shoes handled by the Drake-lanes Green Shoe Co., is the Red Eve and it is a winner wherever placed in stock by the up-to date merchant. Mr. B. F. McLeod, the president of the company, is a native of Lynch? burg, Lee county, and has many friends in this section cf the State. Mr. Kershaw to Be Ordained. .

Large Attendance-Major Moise's Speech-Music by the Band. From The Daily Item September 12 A large crowd by its presence in the opera house last night manifested its interest in the movement to induce the Presbyterian College of South Carolina to locate in Sumter. If the trustees of the college could have heard Maj. Moise's speech and seen the eagerness of the people to have the college located here, money would be an entirely secondary consideration and the college would undoubtedly be a certainty for Sumter. There are many things to be con? sidered in the final decision of the trustees as to the permanent location of the college. Sumter's natural ad? vantages, its geographical position, I its railroad- facilities, the general good health of the city, its large, prosperous and energetic citizenship all combine to .make Sumter an ideal place for the home of an institution of higher learning. The Second Regiment band, under the leadership of Prof. W. S. Schu? macher, delighted the audience with the beautiful music that was dis? coursed at well selected intervals be? fore and during the meeting. Promptly at 9 o'clock, Col. J. M. Knight, president of the Chamber of Commerce, called the meeting to or? der and requested Maj. Marion Moise to address the gathering. For nearly an hour the audience was held spell bound by the words of burning elo quenuence, as Maj. Moise depicted in glowing terms the change that would naturally come over Sumter by having such an institution for good and for brain culture ir. its midst. His appeal for financial assistance was so earn? est and so forcibly put that imme? diately after adjournment of the meeting a number of voluntary sub? scriptions were made. Prof. S. H. Edmunds made some very opportune remarks, and endeav? ored to make the people see the mag? nitude of the present movement and the advantages it held in store for Sumter. He said that permission had been obtained to send off Sumter's proposition on the evening train for Columbia, and that efforts to secure additional subscriptions would not cease until the last moment of time left had expired. A letter from Dr. McPheters was read, sug~?sting that the competing cities might be permit? ted to better their propositions up to the 28th inst., on which day the final determination will be reached.
