Election Asked for on Hie Dispensary
Question.
Petitions fare now being circulated
in different parts of the county asking
the Supervisoi to order an election for
tbe 2nd ol Auront on tin* question of
voting out the dispensary, The law
provided that one-fourth of the quali
fied electors of the county must sign
the petition before un election can be
ordei id.
Tin* movement lias been quietly agi
tated Im pome time, hut it was not
made public until tin- latter part of
Ihm week. Kev. W. W. Leathern, who
is a well known Ihiptist lyinistcr, is at
I lie head of ffie movement. Petitions
have heen plueed in the hands ol min- |
istern ami others who advoente the
cause I I prohibition, und as soon as
the requisite number of qualifi'Ml elee
toirf sign them an organization will
be formed to bring together the pro
hibition forces and condui t an active
ami aggressive campaign.
rlucournged by the voting out of the
dispensary in Pickens County, the
growing pentiiueut over the State in
favor of prohibition ami the large ma
jorities always recorded in this county
against the sale of whiskey under any
system, the leaders in the present
movement are confident of an < asy
victory.
Southern Mill Men Will Meet Poosc
veil.
Capt. Ellison A. Smyth, president of
the Polzer Manufacturing Company,
and vice president of the American
Asiatic Asuociation, w ith members of
the association und leading Southern
inanufacturerH, will iiave a conference
with President Roosevelt in Washing
ton on Friday to urge action on tho re
ported boycott hy Cliina against Amer
ican goods. The American-Asiatic
Association in composed of exporters
and mill representatives in the export
trade. It has a branch in Shanghai
and controls a big share of the foreign
trade. The report that China here
after may refuse to admit American
goods because of tho Chinese exclusion
aet, which prevents Chinese merchants
anil students from entering this coun
try, has caused considerable apprehen
sion in the South, which ships so much,
of the product to tho empire. This'
contemplated movement on tho part
of the Celestials is meant as a retali
ation, Wu Ting Pang being one of tho
leaders, according to common news
paper reports.
At the conference Friday tho Presi
dent will lie requested to use his
friendly offices to avert tliis expected
boycott. It in claimed that the only
way out of the solution is in the repeal
of the exclusion act, and the South is
advocating that step. ? Greenville

Au Entertainment at Tokcena.
Mr. Editor; On the morning of May
37th our young folks were made glad
to see the sun rise bright and clear,
after raining all of t hat week, and at
an early hour the boys and ?iris began
to gather at the school house with
great bunches of flowers to decorate
tor the entertainment to bo given that
night. Wo had been practicing for
tins about six weeks. The proceeds
are to be used in making improvements
on Cross Roads RaptiBi Church at this
place.
Hoys and girls never worked more
faithful for a good cause. Every
thing went along smoothly from the
beginning, and they certainly deserve
credit for t heir perseverauce. Miss
Mattio Cleveland, especially, should be
praised for being so untiring in her
efforts for this good cause. After
working hard all day tbe stage pre
sented quite a pretty appearance.
We felt much encouraged when long
before the appointed bour crowds be
fau to come from every direction,
'here were so many we couldn't seat
them all.
The program consisted of recitations,
songs, dialogues, tableaus and music,
tbe latter being furnished by Messrs.
Cray ton and Thornton, and Misses
Emma and Luna Moore, of Westmin
ster, which was very ninch enjoyed by
all. The neat little sum of $16 was
realized. We feel so grateful to God,
the giver of all good and perfect gifts,
and we felt that He was smiling down
on us and approved of our labors and
has crowned them with success.

After the cool, wet weather wo are
having Homo line summer days now.
East week having passed without any
rain, our farmers are about to over
come tho grass and are about to get
their crops in a growing condition.
The furmers are beginning: to har
vest what otherwise might have been
a good wheat crop, but owing to the
ravages of the fly in the early spring,
and the unfavorable weather condi
tions during May, it is comparatively
short, but don't, doubt our furmris, for
they are not men easily discouraged.
A short wheat crop, therefore, will not
keep them from trying again. Al
though the wheat crop is very short
the oat crop bids fair to be a good one,
and there is plenty of them sown, too.
The cotton is growing nicely and corn
iu this section is just line?Mr. Editor,
you ought to come up this way and let
some of our farmers show you how to
raise corn. Gardens, oh! yes, we haye
them, nod they are line. And chick
ens, pshaw! don't talk chickens, they
are so plentiful, and corn is plentiful
to feed them with. Mrs. Mary Kenne
nioro has three hundred and fifty
chicks hatched oft*. Don't it make your
mouth water.
Children's Day exercises were held
at*Bethesda Church and it was an
enjoyable occasion with good addresses
ami recitations. And, oh! the dinner,
it was line.
Mrs. Wm, Chapel, who, for a num
ber of years, lived in our section, died
at her home at the Monagan mill, in
Greenville County, on last Wednesday
and was buried in Siloam Churchyard
on Thursday.
