The adulteratlOn of drinks Of all kluds
as we'll as OF some classes Of food has
been practiced, in this country for years.
The osaer> of spice mills could maxi
money by selling ground mustard pep

could buy the unground articles. a
little c0rn-meal in mustard or burnt
beans in pepper, would injare the quail

it. The man that drinks liquor is
just as much entitled to The projection

that manufacture or sell liquor, aud
substitute deadly pos,u for gcnun ne
article should be held to be as guilty as
the druggiat who sells the fatal dose Of
strychnlne or P,ussic acid.
This practic Of adalteratiOn does net
stop here. but many articles Of almost
constant use In families are so impreg-
mated With pOisons that the health OF
the people generally is endangered
Inc syrups Of apparently fine quality
cannot be used without great injury to
health. The acids used ia refining these
syrups are very injurious and their
effects are frequently felt by persons
who use them. Recently il has been
found profitable to use zinc in refining
sugar, even the finest qualities OF sugar
are impregnated with tAis poison.

at which they stop: These poisons are
ignorantly carried TO almost every
home, and children are daily ted upon
poisons which gradually destroy their
health. Inspectors of food should be
appointed by the government and the
use Of all poisonous articles in the
preparation Of food or drinks of any
kind should be prohibited under very
severe penalties. The government
certainly has the power and to refuse to
excuse it Is IN act Of the most wanion
cruelty to the entire population.

A paper published in Baltimore.
called the Irish--Amerisan Citizen.
makes some marvellous exposures Of
frauds upon the city revenues by GER
tain summer resorts. In the list we
find a. 5. Abel, proprietor Of the san.
down for AN assessment OF $40, 40 and
stocks sl76, l22 aud Jns. W. CARROTS
assessment s5lS,2S9, with stocks slG2, d.
sos.
The way it IS done is to Own a nsi-
dence outside Of the city where all
pe"ers are kept. The money is actually
employed in the city. but the paper
representations of the stock values are
kept in safe outside. The difference
is that State tax is only lS3 cents and
county tax something larger, while the
city tax escaped Is sl,9O. Thus the
rich stock holders Of Baltimore. havin,
all the capital. get away from cOntr-
buttons to support city government
with such luxuues as gas and water sc.
The po.ntundiscOveredi is that these
are some Of the outsiders who lecture
Virginians on the honesty of paying
taxes to meet the requirements of a
fraud.

The lecture of Rev. w. II. Strickland an
Temperance Hall on Tuesday evening was
| indeed q fine one, and was much enjoyed
by those present. Eis subject 'sThe Digni-
~ Of Labor, or How to Make Fortune Z"
Is one in which we have been deeply INFER
estod for some time past, especially the lat
ter IL iuse 1t was ably handled by the
speaker, and while he did not tell us exact
ly how ve might realize the fortune. he
certainly satisfied ar, as well "a all others
present, that labor IS dignifled and honora-
BILE in ali men and women In ali conditions
OF society. The report that gained currency
on the streets several days previous 20 the
delivery of the lecture that it was q rcpe,i.
ton of one delivered at this place by Mr.
Strickland on previous occasion, was an
erroneous one. The lecture was entirely
new to the people of Anderson, and one
OF the most entertaining they have ever had
the opportunity OF listening to. We hope
TO be able TO present cnr readers with q
synopsis OF the lecture In our next issue.
Having satisfactorily adjusted our insur.
ance, We will resume business as soon rs we
can get In iila goods and have necessary
furniture made. We will be found In the
Cdubie Block. The premiums offered by
ns on agricultural products will be awarded
at proper time.
