It isn't victory after all Rut fight that a brother makes; The man, who is driven against th< n 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 regret The prize that escapes your hand That test your mettle and prove you worth. !t isn't the blows you deal, Hut the blows you take on the goo< old earth j Show if our stuff is real. ?Detroit Free Press. We eommened our "S. O. S." man Mr. Harold Drew, to our friends. I he calls on you for your renewal, w will greatly appreciate your jrivi'm him a kindly reception. "The Anti-Prohibition Manual" i fesh from the press. It is a seventy five page phamphlet sent out by th National Wholesale Liquor Dealer Association of America. It is ; * "bean" and rm mistake. It i?\ th fourth pTvarnphlet~we have receive' from the same source during the pas few months. Presumably this last as well as the others are being sent t the voters generally throughout Sout Carolina, in view of the approachinj 'lection September 14. The intro duction of this last pamhhlet says "These pages are compiled with bu one view. They are intended to fur jiisn a quicK ana easy means loran swering arguments offered in sup port of Prohibition." The introduc tion goes on to say "within thes pages may he found the answer i practically every argument presente to date by the Anti-Saloon League o other prohibition forces." In discus ,-ing "When and how to use this Book we are told: "Above all, re mem be that you are right and that the trull and the Facts are with you, so spea fearlessly." The first argument presented i that if Prohibition should carry i would nn an the loss of ?,!] "(),000.00i revenue to our nations state treat* cries: SO,000,000 revenue to the var ou - counties uf the .States and .s.>-,d<)0, MMi to the various municipalities o ;ho United States. In cold lood, it n '|uestion of loss of revenue. Th ruin forces are very shrewd thus t appeal to the pocket nerve. Th pocket nerve is very sensitive. T'n (juestion of iirhteousnoss is not to 1? considered: revenue is the matte to l>e considered. "The love fit' mone is the root of all evil", says lite i!i hie. In other words, the Good I'oo s >ys; "Out of the love of mone comes all kinds of evil." We hardly expect, d to see sue brazen appeal to mamon even by th liquor dealers. If it were true, if a this revenue were lost 1 ?y the com ing of prohibition, we would still say let the revenue go. Hut we do not be licve there would result any such los: Union county sells around $150,00 worth of liquor annually, f.et us sup pose that half of this, say $75,00. came out of the pockets of L'nio county people the other half is con ing out of the pockets of people i contiguous counties. Suppose ou profits are 20 per cent of the sales $15,000?one-half of these profit would thus be paid by Union count people, the other half hy people ( neighboring counties. But we do w get the SI5,000 just 50 cents a hea for each inhabitant of Union count without cost, it has cost us somi thing to get the fifty cents?longc courts, a murder or two; insuflficier labor and a blunting of our mo-; J sensibilities?these and other things combined eat np all the profits and more. ' On page of the manual is a table showing the magnitude of the liquot industry. The figures are taken from United States statistical ab stracts, census year 1909; it shows an invested capital in the liquor business of $771,5 l(i, and the claim fs 1 ' made that this i. the money invested in the manufacture of liquor; millions more being invested bv wholesale and I retail dealers, bottle manufacturers, I cork manufactures, etc. It appears to be a strong point in the mind of liquor men, does thi. capital question. It reminds one of I certain words in the 19th chapter of ) Acts: "For a eertain man named De* metrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no smali gain unto the craftsmen; whom he called together with the workmei. of like occupation and said, Sirs, yo 1 know by this craft we have our wealth. Moreover, ye see and hear, t that not alone at Epheus, but almost throughout all Asia, this l'aul hath . persuaded and turned much people, ? saying; that there be no which are made with hands; So that not only this our craft is in danger to be ' 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." LOCKHART JUNCTION Lockhart Junction, Aug. 9.?We 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 melon crops aie fine s ind the vegetable crop also. At this season of the year everye body is blessed with many good things from the vegetable kingdom and this is also a time when every one is g trying to enjoy life. We should be r so thankful for this time of recreation. Protracted meetings are still going j on. The one at New Hope has been going on for a week and continues ?, through this week, perhaps.

The farmers are lookling 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 Letter. 1 think that you can grow just a" good cotton without guano as you can with guano, after you get what guano you have in your land out then 1 think it will be better than ever. I think if the farmers would cut out so much cotton and raise more corn, wheat, meat and food prodhfts they would fare better, and when they go to town in the spring to do their little business the merchants woulo hpproaeh them and ask them, look here can't you let me run you this year." But now the way it is you have got to have a backbone and a 'stiff ont at that. I think if cotton would go down to five cents per pound the people could live better because there would not be so much made. The county surveyors passed through this community last week on their round surveying the county's border school distrist and townships. Mr. ltoss told me that he would have a map of the county by the first of November 11>15.

Union Raises a Permanent Question, When a neighbor tells us that he has recovered from a serious illness, the first question that naturally arises is, "How long will he keep well?" Temporary relief is one thing, but a lasting cure is altogether different, There is nothing temporary about the work of Doan's Kiney Pills as the following Union evidence proves beyond a doubt.
