Bill Arp Visits Newberry ant
Writes About the Dispen-
sary Law.

AasI Week VlslIeu Iue SOOu OlQ
Dutch town of Newberry, in South
Carolina. 1t was a delightful trip
of snnny days and moonlight nights
and over one of the best roads in
the South. People used to to say
that the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern was just one 10 many
but they don't say so now. Its traffic
is increasing all the time and it's
service is first class. From Athens
to NewberrYzis bright and pro-
ductive country, and the people
seem happy over their abundant
crops. Newberry expects tc handle
her usual allowance of $4,000 bales
of cotton. There is a mill there
that consumes 1000 bales,
and an oil mill that works up the
seed. The town is solid and pros
porous. The new public school
building that cost $4,000 is COM
pleted and occupied. The Lutheren
college adorns a distant hill, and
the beautiful homes of the people
are embowered among shade trees
and flowers all around in >the
suburbs. The mayor took me
around to the dispensary-not
7z7e==7-s s
of it, but because it was now q
part of Newberry and must be
exhibited to strangers. Some said
it was a degradation. Some said
ut was better THAI saloons, but all
admitted that it lessened drunken
ness and would bring i'll a revenue.
The whiskey was on the shelves in
pints and quarts. Its price and
quality were on the labels and
the palmetto tree was blown in the
glass. Every man who buys signs
an application, pays his money,
gets his bottle or his jug and de-
parts. No loafng round is per-
mitted. The negroes who haul III
the cotton are the best customers.
The price is high but they must
have it. The profit is divided
equally between the town and
the county. In August the profit
was only $25. In September it was
$3.50 and the estimate for October
was $400. The State had already
got it's share when the goods were
invoiced to this dispensary. Sc
it seems that the State and the
towns and the counties are all to
fatten on this business and this
will make Unpopular with the tax
payers. Whether it is constitu.
tional for state to run business
for a revenue is to be tested by the
courts but they say that Georgia
used to run the State railroad and
that France buys and sells all the
tobacco. When South Caroline
does anything it is done by whole
sale. The fences were all cleaned
up at one session but here ir
Georgia we have vote in every
district, and some have fences and
some have none. In Caroline
everybody approves the stock law
and the people would in Georgia
if it was passed. I wish that oul
legislature had the nerve to do it

RANK NONSENSE.
The Nevada City Eventng Herald says ::

The Nevada City Evening Herald says:
We are afraid this plan of San Franciscos,
of sending her unemployed out into the
mountains to prospect, is a scheme to shift the
burden from the Bay City upon the interior
towns. We can imagine what kind of a fist
these men would make of prospecting, and
when their grub-stakes gave out they would
once more be paupers.
The whole scheme-if it is a scheme
was conceived in ignorance and is too alb
surd to have serious consideration. The
idea, we fancy, was born of the fuddled
brains of some chap who imagines that
all one has to do to prospect is to find
pile of rocks and post notice. The
truth is that prospecting for gold-bearing
lodges requires high degree of mineral
ogical knowledge and of skill, the result
of long experience in mining. Even
when favorable outcrop is found and
float rock shows well, prospecting means
deep and very skilled sinking of shafts
or inclines, or the perforation of hillsides
with tunnels. 1t means money in plenty
if the fancied mine is to be really
prospected, since rarely indeed is such
discovery made as will warrant the
erection of works short of from 200 to 400
feet of sinking. But then, the whole idea
of sending out the San Francisco unem-
ployed to find mines is the rankesU sort
of hollow nonsense.

TWO IMPORTANT MEETINGS.

Two important meetings are set for
next Tuesday: that of the frult-growers, at
San Francisco, under the call of the State
Board of Trade. and the meeting of the
Road Convention of Sacramento County,
at the Art Gallery, in this city.
1t is probable that some of our citizens
residing outside of the city have been Sc
lected as delegates to the Road Conven-
ton who are fruit-growers and desirous
of attending the conference in the fruit
growing interest. All such who resolve
to go to San Francisco to attend the i'm
portant meeting referred to ought at
once to notify the Road Club committee
and suggest alternates, in order that the
Road Convention may be full and thor
oughly representative.
It is to be an exceedingly important
gathering, and will have much influence
upon the policy Sacramento adopts rela-
tive to permanent road-b building and the
relief of the unemployed and the putting
into circulation of large sum of money
that will be retained in the county.

during exercise, either active or passive,
in pure air, not too warm.
A healthy skin means frequent and
thorough washing, not merely bathing
and smearing the greasy exudations of
the skin over it again, but such cleanli-
ness that the moistened hand will no
longer rub up anything from the skin.
The muscles of the skin by the myriad
surrounding hair follicles, glands and
blood vessels, must be cultivated to
strength, and that implies exercise for
them and results in an elastic and firm
textured skin.
So we are to wash as we'll as bathe,
employing during the washing and after,
much hand friction until the skin becomes
firm and elastic. Take an air bath on
rising, says the physician, little at first,
gradually increasing it until the body be-
comes accustomed to the air without dis
comfort during five, ten or more min
utes. Then rub briskly and dress
rapidly.
After short practice of this kind, DR..
Hough advises moist rubbing with the
hand dipped in water that has stood over
night, and later the use Of wet sponge
which will become presently a cold
sponge bath, from which springs great
benefit to the skin, and hence to the body.
Always, says the clear-headed physi-
clan, after the bath OF water or air,
briskly knead and rub the skin and flesh,
and presently ones air bath can be taken
in very cold atmosphere, and after
little within light draught from an
open window without fear of harm. He
advises the open window to the bed
room, avoiding draughts, to harden the
mucous membranes, but having care
all the while against exceptional falls in
temperature. With these skin gym
nastics practiced, the feet kept warm. the
body dry and the stomach treated with
fairness and common decency, the aver
age person ought to be able to defy cold
and make his body as insensible to
draughts and exposures as is his face.

AVOIDING TAKING COLD.

DR.. Hough is among the ten thousand
who have told an anxious world how to
avoid taking cold. But DR.. Hough, in the
Cosmopolitan, tells US better. more briefly
and sensibly than has any other. In
short, his direction how to avoid taking
cold is this, Cultivate the power of re-
sistance."
How can this resistent power of the
body be cultivated? By bathing and
friction the power of the skin to resist
chill, and of the minute blood vessels of
the surface to resist the disposition to
suddenly contract, can be built up.
The power of reaction is to be culti-
waited, namely that return of a warm,
glowing, fortifying flow of blood to the
surface Immediately after it has been
blanched or chilled. Prompt reaction
presupposes plenty of pure blood that
presupposes proper food assimilated
