The Richmond Dispatch says man
may have million dollars locked up
whilst his neighbors are as poor as church
mice. And if this per capita of currency
were increased to fifty dollars or hum
dred dollars or q thousand dollars, the
impeounious man would still have empty
pockets and the millionaire would still
have his millions, as is abundantly illus
trated and proven by the fact that the
Massachusetts, per capita is at present
about three hundred and fifty dollars and
the North Carolina per capita only about
six dollars, and yet there is more suffer-
ing in Massachusetts, than in North Caro-
lima. The Star says truly that there are
no two States in which the per capita is
the same and that the bulk Of the cur
reney is monopolized by comparatively
few persons, from whom others can get it
only by paying interest. And this will
forever remain true. The rich need no
higher per capita. The poor cannot get
"a higher per capita. Money cannot be
put into the pockets Of those who need it
by putting it into the pockets of those
who do not need it.

Well, what q glorious time 1t is! All
vegetation seems to be thriving and every
body you meet has glowing counte-
nance. Surely the face of the Lord is
upon us this beautiful June morning. A
beautiful rain has fallen and corn and cot
ton are doing its very best. Everybody
is getting fine start on the farm on &C.
count of the favorable weather. Wheat is
very fine 80 far. Oat crops are looking
promising.
We have seen more fine watermelon
patches this year than in several years
previous. Come around, Mr.. Editor,
when melons get ripe and We will set you
up to fine meas and will carry you
around to see some of our good neighbors
and INTELLIaENCER readers.
Mr.. Editor, I am glad We can boast of
one thing in our community, and that is
true morality. A young man doesn't have
to become profaner, dram-drinker or
in the eyes of our people, but rather he
that our enlightened and christianized
American people would abandon the idea
of substituting wickedness for wit.
We were glad to see our honored old
friends, Mr.. and Mrs J. G. Smith, able to
be at Church last Sunday. Mrs. Smith
has been i'll for some time, but has recov-
cred and returned to her Sunday School
class. How glad the little boys are to see
her come back.
Children's Day was observed at this
place on the second Sunday ult. A large
and attentive congregation was present
and seemed to enjoy the day very much.
Rev. Geo. M. Boyd preached most ill.,
teresting sermon at this place last Sunday.
Mr.. 6. B. Smith has about the finest
piece of oats we have seen this season.
Mr.. Smith is prosperous young farmer,
and does bis work in systematical order.
We feel honored to state that We have
heard two most excellent sermons preach.
ed by Rev. D. w. Hiott of Williamson,
recently, one of which was preached at
Beaverdam at the last Union Meeting.
His text was, Like as Father pitieth
his children SC the Lord pitieth them that
fear Him"-Psalms 103, l3. The other
was delivered at Pisgah on the second
Sunday ult. Mr.. Hiott is man of great
intellect and delivers his sermons with
great emphasis aud power.
Our Sabbath School at this place is still
hourishing, and our Sunday night prayer
meeting is we'll attended. Neither Sun
day School or prayer meeting has at any
time went into winter quarters or vacated
since organized, which was about six
years ago.
We see some of our farmers have been in
the apiary robbery recently, which proves
to be very rich this season.
The health of our community at present
is excellent, and we boys are looking for
ward to the fine fruit harvest.
Mr.. Editor, this will give you synop.
sis of the news for this time, and unless
close shortly your correspondents noe.
turnal rest will be greatly amputated.
With my hat off and hands up In honor to
the INTELLlGENcER and all Its readers,
remain ABE STUBDINS.

One Of the dress reformers at the
Women's Congress at Chicago, last week,
declared that "wearing bloomer cos
tune would enormously advance the
spiritual and intellectual welfare of wo-
men," AS the principal thing about such
costume is its irredeemable ugliness, it
is hard to see where it will affect either
the spirit or the intellect. We cannot
remember that the abhorrent pantaletts
that the girls wore in our boyhood days
made them more refined or brighter in
intellect than the girls of to-day, who
would rise in rebellion against such
uncouth articles of wear. The fact is,
the dress Of the women Of the present is
attractive and beautiful, and a change to
ugliness will never succeed until the sex
loses some of the most gracious and
charming qualities which distinguish
them from the masculine.

The State Whiskey Store.

COLUMBIA, May S1.-Have you ever
thought what big thing the proposed
dispensary Is to be? The question Is
whether the parties in control have not
mistaken the liquor consuming capacity
OF the people Of the State. Just look at
the plans of the dispensary and draw
conclusions rs to the prohibition inten-
tions of the authorities. Does it not look
like good money.making scheme? Yet
with all of the preparations and rules and
regulations that have been issued, it is
claimed that the law was passed by the
Prohibitionists, The supply of liquor
that was being hauled into the dispensary
to-day ought to supply the demand for
some time, but the officials in charge
think differently. The present supply is
regarded as simply "starter."
Here are few figures that will be
interesting to Prohibitionists just at this
time: The dispensary is now receiving
by every train installments Of the 1,050
barrels Of 'tseuff' ordered from the Mill
Creek Distilling Company. This liquor
will easily average IS gallons to the bar
rel and at So q gallon, which is considered
low, this particular order amounts to
100000. Rather asnug amount of liquor
Then there in understood to be six car
loads of 5eer on the road, which will get
here by the 10th of June. Each car will
average 120 casks, and listing them at SO
per cask the sample order Of beer will
make S6,4SO. Then the lovers Of corn
have to be looked after, and they vii!
have an order of, say 400 barrels OF good
pure corn juice. Taking the same aver
ages as to the price and quantity as given
for the rye, and the corn will cost-S36, 900.
So it will be seen that these ''staples'' in
the liquor business will run up q bill of
$132, ,4S0.
There is no guessing about these fig
ures. It will be seen that there are no
allowances made for rum, wines, gins, or
any Of the many other varieties of liquors
for which there are sure to be plenty of
calls, that is it there are any at all. Now
these figures give some definite idea of
the hopes Of the dispensary. It may be
added that most of tho orders that are
now being given are in the nature of trial
orders.
Commissioner Traxler is hard at work
getting everything in shape for the
"grand opening" and expects to be able
to supply all orders as promptly as they
are receiyed. Up to the present none Of
the county boards have officially elected
the county dispensers. About the only
dispenser who seems to be any way
certain of his position is Mr.. Hill, Of
Abbeville.-SpeciaL % Neacs and Courier.

An Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The President
said this evening, in reply to a direct
question by representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press, that he intended to call an
extra session Of Congress not earlier than
the 1st or later than the 18th Of Sep
tember, unless some unexpected contin-
gencies should necessirate an earlier
meeting,
The President further said:
stWhile there has been no mystery nor
secrecy in regard to my intention in this
matter, think it not amiss that our peo-
pie should be informed authoritatively
that the time is at hand when their rep
resentatives in Congress will be called
upon to deal with financial condition
which is the only menace to the country's
welfare and prosperity. It Is well for the
people to take up the subject for them
selves and arrive at :heir own conclusions
as to the merits CT financial policy
which obliges us to purchase idle silver
bullion with gold taken from our reserve.
One does not need the eye of financier
to see that this gold thus subtracted from
the governments stock is eagerly seized
by other nations for the purpose of
strengthening their credit at our expense.
.fIt does not need the art Of statesman

the continuance of this action. Already,
the timidity of capital is painfully appa-
rent and nore of us fail to see that fear and
apprehension in monetary circles will
ultimately bring suffering to every hum
BILE home in our land.
ssI think that between now and the
meeting Of Congress much depends upon
the action Of those engaged in financial
operations and business enterprises. Our
national resources and national credit are
abundantly sufficient to justify them in
the utmost faith and confidence. 1t, in
servative and contribute their share OF
help and steadiness, they will perform
a patriotic duty, and at the same time
protect their own interests. The things
Just now needed are cooiness and calm
ness in financial circles and sturdy re-
Election among our people.
