. f. AULL, ErTom. TOTH FAIR. The manipulators of the new Iohi bition movement in this county are using the columns of The Herald and News, which acknowledges its preetr once for high license under dispensary rostrictions, to advocate their cause. Inasmuch as it is pretty generally un derstood that this new prohibition movement with the office-seeking at tachment will be used by the high li cense element toaccomplish their ends, this coming tog' her of elements usual ly at, variance with each other is in ac cord with the pretont unfitness of con ditions brought about by the would-be leaders of prohibitionists of South Car olina.-Voice of the People. The Voice seems to overlook the fact or ignores it, intentionally that at the same time we offered tho column to the pr9hibitionists we also offered the same privilege to the advocates of the dispensary, stating distinctly that If we saw any chance for high license that we would look after that end of the row. We are sorry our friend is so suspicious and can see "boogara" where there are none. There is no coming together of any "elements" "at variance" heretofore. The Herald and News has distinctly and on various occasions stated its opposition to the dispensary and also Its opposition to prohibition, and because the prohi bitionists were given a column in our paper is no reason for arguing a con Ing together of high license and prohi bition any more than to say there is a coning together of high license, dis pesary and prohibition, because we offered the dispensary people the same thing and the offer is still open. We want the people to have all the light on the subject possible, and being op posed to the dispensary and prohibi tign we offered the advocates of these two systems of dealing with the liquor question our columns. How any man who is a prohibitionist from principle can support and advo cate the dispensary is something we have never been able to see or under stand. If it is wrong in principle to sell whiskey, and a man is opposed I.o it on the high ground that it ik morally wrong to sell it, as all prohibitionists claim, it is inexplicable to us how it, be comes morally right and the prillciple changes when the stulf is sold by the StqMe instead of the individual. lossi bly the editor of the Voice, who is, we bulieve, a prohibitiorist in principle and practice, can explain a moral dif ,feyence---how in one case it is wrong and in the other it is right. We did not intenl to take up this disussiou, but since we are in it we would like for the Voice to tell us why a dispensary is not a good thing for Prosperity, if it is much a blessing and so much better than prohibition. Why did you so bitterly oppose a dispentsary in the town In which you live and make such a fight to maintain prohibition if the dispensary is so much better? Why, If the dispensary is a good thing for Newberry and other places, is it not a good thing for your own town? These quest,ions are asked in all earn estness and seriousness, because an an swer to them will p)ossibly throw light on the question. We write from mem ory, but we believe we are correct when we st.ate that you oppossed the opening of a dispensary in Prosperity. And, again, we would like to know by what process of transformation, if thbe selling of whiskey is morally wrong, it becomes morally right when the business is monopolized by the State -end the profit from it, blood money as the prohibitionists argue, goes into the coffers of the State. Now we are opposed to both the dis pensary and p)rohlibition, because wve think it is wrong and an outrage for the State to be in the whiskey business, and we-are opposed to prohibition for many reasons. It will not p)rohibit, and then we do not believ%e you can legislato temperance into p)eople any more than you can religion. M%an is a free moral agent and has to answer for his own sins. Still we have felt and have so stated on more than one occasion, that in this year of grace we believed the dispensa ry would remain with us. But since the Voice is so alarmed and devotes s' much space to State Chaieman Jones we are beginning to believe that the dispensary must be in danger, or the editor is trying to ease his conscience by much writing and much argument on the subject. The Voice should tote fair in its anx lety and love totr the sale of whiskey by the State. Trhe war with Spain is mnaliing pro gross slowly, and wve hear' nothing of the starving Cubans we were going to save. If they wore in the condition re ported by the Senators who we., over there before war was declared, they must be gone to glory long before tis, said our war will do them no good.

We find tho fpllo*ing in the oolumns of The Voioo of the People: The candidate who n'oglects to put, his card in The Voice may save the $3 necessary to secure its insertion, but. he stands a mighty good chance of los ing thoe oflice he Is after and the salary attachod thereto. A word to the wise is sufflcient.x It is none of our business, of egurse, where a vandidate places his card and ther, is no party law that we know of to require a candidate to announce his name in the papers at all, but. inasmuch as some candidates might see proper to put their names in The Herald ,and News and not in the Voice we must protest against any such threats as very unfair to the candidates and unjust to the voters, for it assumes to say that a majority of the white voters of Newber ry county would be influenced in casting their votes by the paper in which the candidate makes his announcement. We think if the Voice wil',3xamine its files of two years ago that it will find the names of some candidates who an nounced in no other paper and yet when the votes were counted you scarce ly knew they were in the race at all. It .jay be that the Voice has gotten a cinch on the voters since then and for that reason makes this announcement with authority, but '.o scarce think to 'Ihe Herald and News will be glad to have all the candidates announce in its columns, but we have no threats to hurl against those who do not. An nouncing in one or all the papers can not fit, a man for oflice nor make the people vote for him. By the way, does the Voice guaran tee the election of those who announce in its columns? The rule should work both ways. TIG COrTON ACREAGE. The following circular has just been issued by the well known firm of La tham, Alexander & Co, of New York. Their estimates are generally based on reliable information, and we have no doubt this is a very correct estimate: New York, June 2, 1898. With the view of obtaining thu most rli,6ble information possiole concern ing the cotton acreage of the United States for 1898, we addressed, as usual, sonC 3.500 letters to cotton co1mmissuion imerchnitts, brokers, banks and bankers imaking ad vances and responsible phtnt ers, emlbieaing every cotton growing county in .he South, asking areage es timlatesi. Up to this date wo have received 2, 188 replies, of average date, May 2th, and the following is the result, which in our 01)iion is as approximately Cor. reet, its could be secired by information received from trustworthy sources In the Cotton States: - Acre:ge Acreage Acreage Decreaise.

Our corresp)onden ts repor't that the reduction in acreage has been brought about by the low prices of cotton, re luctance of commitssion merchant' to make as liberal advances to the plant ers as last year, in the face of war. and the increase in acreage in tobacco, wheat and corn, on account of the high pr'ices of these conmmodities. While in some sections much re p)lantlng has been necessary, on ac count of cold weather, overilow in Ar kansas and White Rivers and poor stands; as a wvholc, the crop can be said to be in a fair average condition ais comnared with other seasons at the same date. Yours truly, LATsiiAM, AJJ1XANDE~R & CO. It would seem from this that the agi tation and discussion have had a good effect. Tihe acreage has been reduced andt wilie the per cent, is much less than was advocated, yet in the aggre gate is considerable, There has been a considerable in crease in the grain crops, and in this p)articular section there ih much more wheat and oats than usual, and the crops of both' are very good, ant they have been harvested ini good condition. In fact,, wo have not had in years as much wheat, planted, nor haie we had as fine crop as the one this year. -The E,at at War Newa. Atlanta Ga.,, J une 9, 1898, 12 im.

We ire glad to see Newberry moving in an ofeorb to retain thOe Seminary. It' w%iII take a long pull and a strong pull to keep it. but a town with the push and progless of Newberry can get what she wants if bhO will.

The Prosperit-y High S.-hool Associ ation will hold their annual' election for three trustees on Friday, June 10th, at 5 p. m. In reference to the yield of wheat we were told of a gentleman in the Po marla section who sowed 3 bushels and had thrashed 75. Mr. W. C. Sheely, of Little Mountain, thrashed 70 bushels from 94 dozen hundles, and Mr. J. F. W heeler sowed one bushel and thrashed 23. Last year he sowed two and thrashed eight, quite a difference. We note that Mr. S. J. Kohn is making some very nice and needed im provements around his place. Sergeant W. 13. Wise spent last Sat urday and Sunday in town on a fur lough. A telegram from him to his brother Tuesday announced their safe arrival in Chattanooga. We regret to hear of the death of young Mr. Rauton from hydrophobia. One object we had in view in publish ing the account of Mr. Lindsey Bow ers' child was to inform the public through The Herald and News that there wits a mad stone near us and could be had so eisy and quickly. We would once more tell the readers of The Herald and News that Mr. C. H. Beard at Chapin, S.

Let all reneibet this, for we don't know just when we or sone of oirl friends will nee,i it. We ntice that the Agricultural in stitute for Newherry County is to be held near Prosperity in July.

The medal in the advanced class was won by Miss Sallie Witherspon with a grade of 98 1-7, with Miss Annie Belle Wise a close second with 97 4-7. in the smaller girls' class the medal was awarded to Miss Lillian WVise, with honorable mention for Miss Jessie Moseley. The exercises were enjoyed by all, and nmany are looking forward to the clos ing exercises tonight when the H-on. Frank Wilson, of Sumts:, will make the address, anud the three'boys who have completed the course will tell the audience wvhat they hiave learned. Such occasions are pleasant ones for all in terested.
