Demorests.

Meritorious publications are rendered doubly
attractive when they are cheap. Demorest's
illustrated Monthly Magazine has had pros
come one of the leading periodicals of the
United States, but its publisher is ambitious to
mot only have the best, but the most widely cir
culated, popular magazine in the world, and
so has put the price down to Two Dollars per
annum and by change of its former size, it
is one of the best printed and gotten up month
lies for Twenty Cents, we have ever seen. The
December number is admirable in all its de-
partments.

THE LICENSE QUESTION.

EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: With very
great interest have / read the articles by
Countyman and Bethel. / need not tell you
l most heartily endorse every word they both
say. That thing the world calls whisky, is
making fearful progress in the work of des-
truction. Something must be done, and done
soon, or the country will be iu deplorable
condition. In fact it is in that condition now.
If l understand the laws Of our State, you
people who inhabit corporate towns can pre-
vent the sale of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage Although I am no lawyer, and
confess that l know mparatively nothing
about law. still l scarcely think am mista-
ken in this matter. | believe it is fact.
Now, there is very little Intoxicating liquors
sold in the county. Legally, as Bethel states,
no license can be granted to any one in South
Carolina, not residing in au incorporated
town, to sell spirituous liquors. This | re.
gard a move in the right direction. Since
the towns have the legal power to withhold
the license, l hope the people Of Yor kville,
will, at their next town election, exercise that
power. 1t may be that all the inhabitants of
your town have the ability to keep out of
grog-shops; but assure you such is not the
case with all US country people. | have seen
your town, on several sales.days, look like
it was great fair ground, in which all the
old poor horses and mules in Christendom
had been collected, and were on exhibition,
and the exhibitors resembled demons es.
capped from the kingdom Of darkness. l
scarcely think your people will say those
were lovely days.
Some of your townsmen may say that it
was the country people that got drunk and
made fools of themselves. Grant it; but
you town people furnished the stuff to get
drunk on. View this matter as you will, it
is humiliating. The whisky shops are the
great feeders of the Penitentiary, and hereaf'
ter all the whisky shops in South Carolina
can only be in the incorporated towns. Let
Old York bestir herself and rid herself Of
these pests to society. l assure you, Mr. Edi'
tor, that the people in this, and I suppose ev-
cry other section of the county, are anxious
for your redemption from the curse of bar
rooms. BETHESDA.

YORKVILLE. s. c.:

AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS.

In spite of all the political strife and con-
fusion incident to a people emerging from
civil war, the South-the whole Southland
especially South Carolina, is making rapid
progress in the arts of civilization. Nature
most manifestly designed South Carolina as
an agricultural region. For this her soil and
her climate are admirably adapted. Her
mineral resources, no doubt, are great; her
adaptedness to manufacturing enterprises ia
vorable; but her wealth, beyond all contro'
yersy, is in her cotton fields. Cotton is money.
The gradual-nay, the rapid progress
made within the last few years in the cult
walton of cotton, and in fact in the cultiva-
ton all the products of our soil, is little less
than marvellous This progress is due to sew
eral causes, but very much to the introduc
ton and application of new and improved
agricultural Implements These are truly
labor-saving machines. With them the la
borer is enabled to do more work and do it
far better. The implements used by our ia
theirs are nearly all laid aside as worthless.
Phe plow, the main implement of the far
mer, has been improved and is much more
efficient implement than that used by our
fathers.
The result is very noticeable. Two horses,
or mules, do more blowing, and do it great
deal better, than three formerly did. Two
acres of land, on an average, produce fully
as much as three did thirty years ago. One
hand, at present, makes more corn and cotton
than two did in the days of our fathers.
1t is true that agricultural operations cost
more than they formerly did; but this is an
evidence of progress. AS rule, all cheap
things are worthless 1t is admitted that Pc
culiar circumstances may cause fluctuations
in prices. Corn may may be dear on account
of its great scarcity or the difficulty of ob-
tanning it !; but when country is in healthy
financial and agricultural condition. and all
its people progressing in the arts Of civiiza-
cation, marvelous.y cheap, means extremely
worthless.
Another evidence of progress is the i'm.
provement which is going on in the soil.
Lands which our fathers plowed into gullies,
have been reclaimed, made rich, and are now
producing larger crops than when first cul
tivated. There is F. lively interest taken in
the cultivation of the soil. Forty years ago,
but little time was devoted to manuring.
Land was plenty then. The forest was cut
down and the soil cultivated in such a way
that about four or five crops were all that
could be produced on it. 1t was then turned
out and more forest cut down.
Another evidence of progress, is that the
majority of farmers of the county are in good
financial circumstances and many of them
are getting rich. There are numbers OF men
in York county who at the close of the war,
we're not worth single dollar, who, to day,
are the owners of good farms and a sufficient
amount of stock to cultivate them. All this
is exceedingly encouraging. If the past has
been dark, the present is bright and the future
promising.

LIQUOR SELLING.

Mr.. EDITOR: However others may feel, a
sense of weariness oppresses me over the dis
cusson of the subject of liquor selling in our
otherwise quiet and pretty town. This traffic,
its results, the elimination and re.criminalion
respecting both, seem to be the greatest cause
of dissension among an otherwise happy peo-
ple.. To take brief retrospect, We commence
with the article, in the ENQUIRER of recent
date, signed "Citizen." It was followed by a
reply from "T" In the article of the latter,
the most distinctive feature was this PROPOSE.
tion-"The action of our Council, consistent
with the wishes of a majority of our citizens,
must be laid, right or wrong, at the door Of the
citizens" That the proposition cannot be
controverted, every fair mind must admit.
To state it more simply (begging IT'S" con-
sideration), every master is responsible tor the
acts of his servant done in pursuance of his
express directions. But, we venture the as
sertion that many of our good citizens have
never thought of the personal responsibility
attaching to each voter 80 far as results are
concerned. Some of them would fix degree
of responsibility upon the liquor seller. tor the
loss of an inebriates soul others would carry
it further on, and include the manufacturer !;
but all pass by the voter who casts his ballot
for its sale, when that becomes the issue of an
election.
A bitter thought, too, is evolved out of the
proposition Of "T''-he even uses the plural
number-that citizens, majority and minority
alike (for practically they cannot be separa:
ted-at least, on earth,) find the results laid
al their door.
But we pas, on to the article contributed
to the last issue of the ENQUIRER, by Bethel"
And here, sadder thought forces itself upon
the writer. A man bends over the infant
form of his 6rst.born son, with a proud con-
sciousness of strength. From infancy to child
hood, childhood to youth, youth to early man
hood, the father watches with tender solicl-
tude the reproduction of himself, and then
tremblingly releases parental authority as
early manhood ripens into the full stature of
man. There is nothing left him then, but the
prayer of Stonewall Jackson, 20, God! pro-
tect my child" Bethel T. you
have touched chord that must vibrate in
the hearts of even liquor sellers, for the sake
of their sons. That is the highest test, for so
God tried the faith of Abraham in demand
ing the sacrifice of his "only son, Isaac" and
50 he evinced His own wondrous Love, in that
He spared not His own Son"
But, a question: Are the minority of our
citizens opposed to liquor selling, doing their
full duty to repress it? For the third time,
and by handsome majority (57), Lancaster
has said, "we will not offer liquor for promis-
cuous sale" Rock Hill has also done it.
So have Blacks Station and Fort Mills and
of the municipalities in York county Gin
which alone liquor can be sold) Yorkville
is alone in her glory (O! What others have
