The test of the man is the lijrht h makes, The t that he daily shows, Toe way that he stands on his fei and takes Fate's numerous bumps and blow, A coward can smile when there1 naught to fear; When nothing: his progress bars, ! at it takes a man to stand up an cheer While some other fellow stars. It isn't victory after all But fight that a brother makes; The man, who is driven against th >\ all, Who still stands erect and takes The blows of fate with his head hel high, Bleeding and bruised and pale, I the man who'll win in the by and b For he isn't afraid to fail. It's the bumps you get and the jolt you get, And the shocks that your courag stands, " he hours of sorrow and vain regre The prize that escapes your hand '."hat test your mettle and prove yoi worth.

It is a seventj five page phamphlet sent out by th National Wholesale Liquor Dealei Association of America. It is "bean" and no mistake. It is th fourth phamphlet we have receive from the same source during the pa.' few months. Presumably this las as well as the others are being sent t the voters generally throughout Sout Carolina, 111 view of the approachin election September 11. The intra duction of this last pamhhlet says "These pages are compiled with bu one view. They are intended to fin nish a quick and easy means for an swering arguments offered in sup ..o.-t ?r ti,a tion jroes on to say "within thes pa ires may bo found the answer t practically every argument presente to date by the Anti-Saloon I.eayne o ether prohibition forces." In discus sir.it "When and how to use this Book we are told: "Above all, reniembe that you are rijrht and that the trutl and the Facts are with you, so speal fearlessly." The first argument presented i that if Frohibitii should carry 1 would iti'-an the loss of J?2~>0,O(M<.()0t evenue to our nations state treas uric.-: *<'.,<>00,000 revenue to the var ou- coun ies of the State- and *"<2,000. f un to the various municipalities o: the United States.

In other words, the (lood Bool s-iys: "Out of the love of moue; comes all kinds of evil." We hardly expected to see sucl i , . . t * 1. nra/.en appeal 10 mamon even ny in liquor dealers.

( On page 4:5 of the manual is a table - showing the magnitude of the liquet ( r industry. The figures are taken from United States statistical ab- \ - stracts, census year 1900; it shows an ' invested capital in the liquor business of $771,51(5, and the claim fs ' ' made that this is the money invested in the manufacture of liquor; millions more being invested by wholesale and U retail dealers, bottle manufacturers, q cork manufactures, etc. - It appears to be a strong point in t the mind of liquor men, does tin. \ capital question. It reminds one of i 0 certain words in the 19th chapter of ' 0 Acts: "For a certain man named I)e5 metritis, a silversmith, which made '{ silver shrines for Diana, brought no , small gain unto the craftsmen; whom i h<- called together with the workmen of like occupation and said, Sirs, ye ' e know by this craft we have our wealth. Moreover, ye see and hear, , , that not alone at Epheus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath s. persuaded and turned much people, 's saying that there be no im<ls, which are made with hands; So that not only this our craft is in danger to be 1 set at naught; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth." ie ' ? LOCKHART JUNCTION LocMiart Junction, Aug. 9.?We I have had good rains in this section y since my last letter and all crops have improved. I see some fine corn in places.

The farmers are looking forward for a large crop this season and if they keep on growing like they are now they will have a good one. Some of the farmers of this section did not use guano and their crops looks as well as those that did use guano if not better. I think that you can grow just as good cotton without guano as you can with guano, after you get what guano you have in your land out ~ then I think it will be better than r ever. I think if the farmers would cut out so much cotton and raise more f corn, wheat, meat and food products they would fare better, and when they go to town in the spring to do thefr" 1 little business the merchants would J approach them and ask them, look here can't you let me run you this J year." But now the way it is you J have got to have a backbone and a stiff ont at that. 1 I think if cotton would iro down L. I live cents per pound the people :-ould live better because there would not be so much made. The county surveyors passed I * through this community last week on their round surveying the county's 1 norder school distrist and township.-.
