iDed the books of the Trial Justices,
we deemed it unnecessary to do so
at the present term. In this connec-

that the trial justices hereafter strictly
follow the law in binding over wit =
nesses tor their appearance at the
Court of General Sessions.
The public buildings of the County
are in tolerably good condition, but
the same cannot be said of the public
roads, which are generally in a bad
condition. We would call the espe-

known as the Beaver Creek road, lead

Place; as we'll as to one mile of the
Landsford road, leading from the Coil

commend that all loose stones be

We find that the paupers of the
County are being cared for as we'll as

The state OF Georgia is entitled to
the congratulations Of all of her neigh
bors for the passage Of the cigarette
bill but we are afraid that our leg
islature could not be induced to bene,
fit South Carolina to a similar extent.
Nothing prevents children from pois-
oning themselves with cigarettes in
this State. Itis not generally known
that cigarettes contain opiates. Hence
the habit, when once formed, becomes
so difficult to break.

Extract From a Sermon Delivered
by Rev. T. r English, Of forkmlle,
Sunday Sept. 1st 1889.

From YOrkvills Enquirer
Look at that pile Of gold! How |
hard 1t IS to earn even one dollar
Every dollar of that money, by whom.
soever spent, represents, in the end,
so much of sweat and toll, self-Genial
and suffering! Yet this is all ,custed-
yea, worse than wasted, for it had
been far better if this amount had
been dumped into the Atlantic than
to have been spent as it had been!
Every year the process is repeated,
the only variation being that the
amount increases every year.
Look at the untold miseries it
brings! IF it cost the country only
s900,000,000 annually, we might still
hold our peace but this is but an
insignificant part of the cost. Go into
a drunkard's home and see the blight
it has caused, making that once happy
home almost q hell on earth. Then
call to mind that there are three mil
lions of such homes in the United
States alone-threa millions of homes
filled with the widows and orphans of
drunkards or those who are worse
than widows and orphans,-and then
you will get faint idea ofthe dread
full cost! 1. fills our prisons and hos
pitfalls and entails such train o.
woes, that no pen can describe them
