The Call Heeling .or the South C'aro- A 4 MA
Una Farmers Union on 18th 1 f V
December. _ '
Here are a few things tbat tbe delegates TA All A
boald keep In mind: *
First wbat Is tbe object of tbls meeting? Mr
If tbe call Is made for tbe purpose oi re- J
organizing In order to restore peace and barmooy
in the Union, we mast not forget tbe Jgr
fact tbat we met In Qreenwood only five Jf
months ago f>r tbat snme purpose, and If we MF
tailed to satisfy ournelves al the July meeting Jm
what assurance have we thai the December ffl
meeting will give better satisfaction to all W
tbe membership tbau the Julv electiou did
at that time?
Tbe majority vote carried In July and, If il Mr
does not rule In December, we are sure ol tbe
faot tbat ibe December meeting will lo' sbHh
fy tbe membership. We must not lorget tbe fr g*
fact that when we crltio.se ouractlon at the W f. _
July meeting that we ontlclse tbe action of B g (1
tbe majority of the delegates there, and tbat W A
these delegates represented tbe large majority
of tbe membership of tbe mate Union at ^ i
, that time. OUt this COUpO
f Therefore about the only plausible and rea- Th#? sanitnl fKon
sonable excuse lor calling this special meet- oanuot v->nen
lng, only Ave month* alter we met in Juiy, with a $1.00 bill ai
may be In giving tbe new members who .1 1 .1
?>ave come in since July the opportunity of tnTOUgn US tne (
participating In castm* the votes that choose n-jrlrncr^c r>f Qonitn
the managers for the next seven month*. ui o<umu
But some may say tbat the act ol Joining the satisfactory toilet
anion under tbe leadership of the present offl- 1 . . 1 .1
cera was equivalent to an endorsement of toe regular tOtcu retail
present officials of the union. At bent this
December meeting cannot be called anything
else out a kind of revolution or revolt at our
own actions. Our constitution that wan adop
ted to guide the action of the union has not ^^??1
guided the action of some of our officials but
little more than the curl In a pig's tail con* \WPSJ
trols or guides tbe movements of tbe pig's JtS^L 1
nose I trust tbat when the union does meet 1
agoln that the delegaUs will not be In hast<:
but will be very delibtrate, conservative aud
reasonable In tbelr actions, and tbat every
member of the convention should be called ^
on|to bold up bis pledge to abide by. the rule h -1
of the majority vote and all go back home qf"xrQ

When the Greenville and Columbia ralload
was ballt, tradition baa it that Cokesnry
and Dne West contributed money to the
ulldlng of the road on oondltlon that It dfd
ot rnn tbrougb their towns. Cokeebury and
>ue West towna were communities then, aa
ow, filled wltb the beat of people, and eaoh
ad a good college, which sent oat son* to
less mankind wblle they prospered and
aade snooeas for themselves. Cokeebnry
eased to grow. The population In Due tVest, m
owever, Inoreaaed In numbers. And, aa
Ime passed, each town began to feel the need C
>f a railroad, and each was hopeful of having
n iron highway. A road near,or through
ftkeabnrr was surveyed ane graded years
go. Dae Went Id the meantime was not
He. The Cumberland Gap promised to relevw
the situation In that classic town, hot
be road never came. But, not ao long ago,
latriollc oltisens resolved lo help themaelves. ]
'hey railed money with whleb to (fade their
Dad to Donalda and to famish the orose 11mbe
track has been laid. The depot bas boen
atlt, and everything la now )n readiness for
he engine and ears which are ?zpeetid to rrlve
this week. And ao It is Provldenoe J
elpa thoae wbobelp tbemaelvea.
To Mr. R. 8. Galloway, preeldent of the
oad, la doe much of the oredlt for the saooeea
f the enterprise, which shall be of nntold
eneflt to the town. The road will be of
reat help to all that section of the country,
lesldea accommodating the people of the
awn, the indents of the college, tbelr rela- J
Ives and friends, it will open op a good maretfor
the farming intereeta of tbesurroanddr
country. Due West will be a better irade
entre than ever before. It.wlll be one of tba
eat ootton markets In,this section, and peole
always spend money wbsre they sell oot- -4
in. There la a moat excellent ontlyinc
oantry that will be glad to trade with the
awn. The ootton market will be benefitted
nd the bringing In of farmers supplies will
e of Immense advantage. If the prosperity
f the oonntry oontlnoes the road will be
arever hereafter a necessity and its holidays
rill deserve the thanks of everybody. ; m
Away back In the flftlea when tbe Greienllleand
Colombia road waa built, Dae West
ad only two small stores. Ersklne College
ad only flity or alzty boarding students,
'he Female college was not thought of then,
ind cone of tbe elegant buildings on tbe
ampas of Ersklne were then In existence,
vlth an able faculty and full dormitory the
'emale College occupies a prominent place
n the educational Interest of tide country,
ind Ersklne College with Its iwobandrad
indents standi in tbe forefront among the
est Institutions of learning. In I860 tbe
Dwn had but a few plain dwellings scattered
ir and ?wlde apart. Now, the town has
rown In numbers, and tbe bouses are elegant
lodern structures, with as happy a people as
ver lived. Exemplary cltlsenshlp and tbe
nrlty of the moral atmosphere have.extendd
tbelr Inflnenoe to the remotest bonnds
be honorable example and tbe ohrisllan
reoeptS ol tbe cltisens have exerted a moat
ealthful Influence on tbe minds and hearts
f the young of botb sexee who have gone to
arled and dlatant fields of usefulness In all
tie lines of noble endeavor. Andfhey tn
am have Imparted their own christian eg*
mple to multiplied numbers. -There Is not State
In -this United States that hainot 3
een blessed by tbe aons and daughters of the
ollegea at Due West. Who can estimate tbe
alue and tbe Influence of a single person M
rho has received a Christian education? If
be pnaalbllltleaofa alngie educated inan or
roman for ueefnlnaas are great, wbat.sball
re aay of the noble army of Christian men
nd women who have received a blewingend
one ont Into all the walk* and all tSe'dllTer<
nt aoenea of useful life? If Ibe Father of us
ll< shall reward Individual* and Institution! y
>r the good which they do then the people \
ud colleges of Due West will reoelve tbe
lebest rewards.
The Dispensary In Greenville.
Hon. T. P. Cotbran, formerly of this city
nt now of Greenville, was vtilting his old
ome last 8unday. He ap*aka well of prohl. >
Itlon lu Greenville, and aaya that the Law Is |
aforced tnere moat satisfactorily, and with J
ie beat resulta. He aay tbat there la not '
lore tban one homicide under prohibition
'here tbere used to be many. He voted for
roblblllon and wonld do so again If another '
Irctlon was held In Greenville. But we djd f
ot understand blm to be . In lavor of Stat* <
roblbltlon. We believe be thinks (pen oommniiT
ahonld aettle tbe llauoir for Itself. Or,
i other words, be believes In borne' role.
Le Is one of tbe authors of tbe Oary-Cothran <
iw, to wblob tbls newspaper was opposed at
be time of its enactment, bnt we think now
bat It Is the best llqaor law that we ever ad.

Oar sister State, Georgia, Is to try problbl- |
Ion after the first of January. And tbe sen- <
imentln many other StatM la crystalling
i favor of prohibition. While we bave no
lea that the Legislature of Sontb Carolina
rtll In Jannary pass a prohibition law yet we
elleve tbat prohibition will be a mighty live
uestlon in the next campaign. Candidates
iay begin to find oat where they atand.
bey will no doubt stand where Hampton
Lood In 1876, for "Home Rule," which pla*>
>rm would give eaeb county tbe perfect
tgbt to ooutrol Its own affairs. If tbe
hurcbes would preaoh temperance, and if
ae people should express themselves at the
allot box, all would be wall, hei ids
burcnne Install temperance principles Into
belr mea>bera,-and tbere will be no need lor
be church to go Into politics. Tbe only safey
to tbe people lies In good principles, sobri*
ty and good morala. Wltb these tbe oounry
will take oare of Itself nnder prohlblblIon
