A Doubtful Remedy

A correspondent Of the News and Cour-
Ter writing from Timmonsville, 8. c.,
says that the town election resulted in O
victory for the license men; that the town
had tried prohibition for two years, and
it had about dried up. "Business fell
Off continually and matters got from bad
to worse, until the best citizens saw that
prohibition was not only failure and did
not prohibit, but that tho town was be-
coming ruined from bushes stand.
point
If tho business SUGGEST Of any town
depends on the sale Of whiskey, the
town does not deserve succosS, and
ought not to have it. But if prohibition
did not prohibit in Timmonsvillo, we
cannot see why its business should withcr
tinder tho cflcGts prohibition. We sus-
poct that prohibition did prohibit, and
that whiskoy selling was the principal
business of the town.

| tobacco to his own labOrcs or employees
whom he may hire to work for him.
Tho owner of tho land wotild not be on

2. In case the owner OF tho land en-
tors into partnership with ono or more
persons, each agreeing to furnish or
pay share of the expenses and to di
vide tho crop at the end of the year, the
firm would be tho farmer or planter as
contemplated by this law, and tho firm

A attempt Is being made by Con- g5ess tO close the Un!ted States mails against newspapers that publish lottery

AT meeting of the City Council on Tuesday night, movement of great importance to our city was commenced that we hope to see consummated forth with. It IS the grading of Main street and Stone avenue, from one end to the other, and the grading of Congress and Pennington streets. As these streets now exist they are simply worse than none at all and the establishment of an official grade and the conformation of the streets to that grade are matters that cannot longer be postponed profta- bly,. Substantial buildings are likely to be constructed upon these streets and If the grade Is not established Il may be so fixed in the future that they are left high above the street by an ex- cavation, or below its level by 8 fill. Another advantage of grading these streets is the authority of the Council to enforce the building of side walks upon them, movement that the people will all appreciate. We are glad to see the Council moving in these pub iic matters and We hope that the people will give them their hearty support m their labors for the public good.
