They are, 'ume, preparing to enter the po \rna early in life, or perhaps it fully abreast of the political day. It is all very well, we suppose, and possibly better than to talk so much of Greece and Rome * and questions that are dead. They bave recently debated the ques tions of Dutting Charleston in the Black District, the Dispensary law and * some others, and next Friday they are going to tackle and compare the ad ministrations of Governors Tillrman, of South Carolina, and Nortben, of Geor gia, and determine which has done the greater harm or the greater good to his respective State.

The annual treat of the W. C. T. '. and Band of Hope was given at their hall on Tuesday, January 23d, 1S94. Long before the hour for meeting the hall was filled with happy chil dren (and grown people too)-members of this <,rganization-and their friends. This temperance society has become indeed one of the permanent institu tions of our town. Under the skillful manasetnent of its consecrated presi dent (Mrs. S. M. Redus) it has held its weekly meetings regularly, not miss ing a meeting du:iug the whole of last year, and, as was reported on this oc casion, the attendance has never been less than 3.>. The good that has been accomplished by this organization eternity alone can tell. But of this anniversary we propose to write more particularly. The meet ing opened with a welcome song by a quartette, then the whole congrega tion united in repeating the 23d Psalm, after which Rev. Geo. A. Wright led in a fervent prayer; then a recitation by Aiss Olive Tarrant-subject, Th4 New Year. T'hon a recitation by Miss Jennie Mann-subject, The Last Word. Then came, to the children especially, the most important part of the pro graum e-th,e distribution of prizes. It was decided a year ago to offer prizes to those members only whose average attendance was 50 per cent. or more, and to have inscribed on a ban ner the name of each member whose average attendance was 75 per cent. or more, which banner should be desig nated the Roll of Honor; and all who made 100 per cent. attendance should receive a capital prize. Only four mem bers received the capital prize, viz., Anita Davidson, Fannie Rodelsperger, Lula Rodelsperger and Luther Riser. Every member received a treat, re gardless of attendance, consisting of fruits, nuts and candies. The capital prizes were $2 50 in gold each. The other prizes were books. Thirty-eight names were inscribed on the Honor Roll, and more than ninety received prizes. Thus it will be seen that more than ninety books were sent out, baptized with the prayers of the president, into the homes of the children to gladden their hearts and brighten their lives. The following names are inscribed on the Roll of Honor: Lula Rodelsperger. Eddie Mit tie. Fannie Rodelsper- Talu Langford. ger- Robert Riser. Anita Davidson. Jesse Salter. Luther Riser. Lucy Speers. Dora Mann. Hugh Summers. Jennie Mann. Bettie Bradley. Daisy Mittle. Sam Cook. Clarence Summers.Helen Hunter. Leland Summers. Tom Bradley. Olive Tarrant. Belle Epting. Robert Tarrant. Ethel Kinard. Alma Bishop. Carrie Mayes. Bernice Todd. Annie Biser. Clara Langford. Otway Salter. Bertha Blease. Myrtle Schumpert. Pearl Langford. Daisy McFall. Hiram Speers. Lizzie Salter. Minnie Todd. Mattie Sloan. Mary Harp. In behalf of the W. C. T. U. and Band of Hope, Mrs. S. M. Redus in a very appropriate speech presented to Mrs. L. J. Jones a book in token of their appreciation of the flowers she has so faithfully and kindly furnished. Since its organization until now Mrs. Jones has never failed to send flowers on Tuesday afternoons. In this connection we would say that no one bas been more faithful in this work than Mrs. Josephine Dennis, and to her faithfulness is attributable the splendid order that is always kept at the me'etings. We may add in conclusion that these treats and prizes are all the gifts of that noble, Christian gentleman, Hon. Geo.S. Mower. What Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup has done for others for nearly two genera tions it will do for you. If you will try it once you will be convinced that it is the best family medicine, and you will never be without it. To the Public.

A Good Market for Mules-The Man Wh< Once Wanted Missionary Funds Now Wants a Dispensaryship-To Have or Not to Have a D1spensar3? (From Our Regular Correspondent.: PROSPERITY, January 30.-Messrs. Bobbie Whites and Will Haltiwanger of Columbia, spent Saturday night and Sunday with us. Mrs. Mamie Birge and her three children will start on their return trir to Texas to-morrow. The Prosperity Stock Company ha. sent a representative to Atlanta again to purchase another lot of mules. Tbit is the third carload for this concern this season. A. C. Jones, the popular traveling salesman for Hood, Foulkrod & Co., it in town selling a big bill of goods. Last October a certain young man who lives in the near country came here soliciting donations for a mission ary fund for his particular church, Last week this same young man wat in town soliciting signatures looking to the establi-hiug of a State liquor barroom in our midst, with a view of becoming chief bottle handler of this hydra-beaded institution. I told you last week that we were muchly tangled on these coasts and that we were no better than other peo ple who are manufactured of the same material. While a large majority of our white population in town are de cidedly and emphatically opposed to the Dispensary, or the selling of liquors in any shape or form, yet we have the "qualified voter" ("qualified voter" was substituted for "freeholder" in the Act by a leading Prohibitionist) with us. It is now evident tnat a few white people, with this "qualified voter," will call an election to determine whether or not a Dispensary shall be established here. We are badly tan gled, and the outcome is doubtful. I would not bet red apples on the final result. The will of the people that we hear so much about is not consulted in Dispensary matters. Truly, affairs in South Carolina pertaining to whiskey are in a lamentable and appalling con dition. Look at a case in Charleston, where we are told a drunken whiskey spy strikes a reputable lady with hie fist; she swears out a warrant for his arrest-they go to trial-the lady iden tifies the spy in court-swears positive ly that he struck her-proves it by three reputable witnesses-it is not denied except by defendant himself. The trial justice fined the defendant 50, or thirty days in jail. What else could he do? The evidence was over whelming. Yet Mr. Tillman tele graphs the spy's f.ull pardon, saying that the lady and her witnesses swore lies and that his spy swore the truthb and asking for the resignation of Trial Justice Burnet because, forsooth, be sentenced a convicted spy according tc law and not according to Mr. Tillman't will. Trhat's all. I never have liked spies much since Maj. Andre's time. The Major got his deserts, buL lots 01 spies since then have been more for tunate. I used to be afraid of Scott's and Moses' spies and constables. Those fellows used to make me sleep away from home of cold nights without a bed, but we got even with some 01 them. Now I love Mr. Tillman's spiet just about as much as I did Scott and Moses, still I am not so afraid of themt because I am not in the liquor busi ness, in -:ny shape or form; still I'vt no love or even respect for spies, and il tbey proceed to slap the faces of some men's wives somebody's spies will gel worse burt than kill-bis-man-blood thir:sty Jack Bladon. These things don't make me happy and serene. That's all. YU-BE. How's This! We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F.

The farmers around here have con menced working again like they expect to get l0c for tbeir next crop of cotton. Preaching in the school house next Sunday afternoon as usual. We are told that Prosperity will hardly get a Dispensary. Good news. If you can't dance and don't wish to try you needn't attend any more of the socials down here. We have seen some few persons re turning from the Newberry.dispensary sirce '94 who were almost unable to reach home. We didn't think the dis pensary ever did anything wrong. Wade Cook, colored, the old reliable basket and chair maker in this neigh borhood has moved his family to Helena, where we learn he will engage in raising six cents cotton. . Quite a number of the farmers are again buying and trading for young mules. What becomes of all the young mules that are bought each year.

The Herald and News last week stated that the dispenser at Newberry had been ebarging $4.00 a gallon for alcohol. Our information was from a druggist of the town. It seems that the dispenser did quote alcohol at this price, but dt r wards corrected his figures. If he would keep posted on his prices there would be no cause for such mistakes to occur. It was not our desire or purpose to make an in correct statement. But Dispenser Maybin, in his eager ness to correct The Herald and News, goes a little too far, and we must bring him down. He says in the Ob server that we are mistaken when we say that he has charged "anyone $4.00 a gallon for alcohol. The dispen sary charges $2.75 per gallon for alcohol, and Mr. Maybin says that more than that has never been charged anyone." Mr. Eduard Scholtz, who uses a good deal of alcohol in his business, says that Mr. Maybin has been charging him $1.00 a quart and 50 cents a pint for alcohol. That is about $4 00 a gallon according to the arithmetic we uses to study when Capt. John Banks taught school at St. Paul's. May be these old rules have been cbanged since those good old days. We suppose that what Dispenser Maybin meant to say was that he had never charged any drng gist over$2.75 per gallon. The moral of all this is, not to be in too biga hurry to correct what you see in The Herald and News, for if you see it there, there is foundation for the statement. We try to know what we are talking about when we make statements. MARRIED, January -, 1894, at the residence of the bride's mother, by Rev. W. W.
