For the Deaf and Blind.

We have a copy OF the "History of the
South Carolina Institution for the Education
OF the Deaf and the Bind" which was
handed to us by Mrs. Minnie Wilson, of this
village, who has entered her little daughter
"Daisey" in that institution. This institu-
ton was established In 1S45 at its present To-
cation. Cedar Springs, Spartanburg Comfy,
8. c., by the Rev. Newton Walker, who, with
his faithful wife. devoted many years to the
philanthropic work. It was first an institu.
tion for the deaf only, but in 1855 depart
ment for the blind was added. In 1857 the
school was changed to State Institution, and
the Legislature made a liberal appropriation
for suitable buildings, and it has since that
time been maintained at public expense. 1t
has been Of great benefit TO the unfortunate
sons and daughters OF the State, and as far as
we know Daisy Wilson is the first beneficiary
from this county. Her sight was impaired
when she was an infant. and we doubt not
her training in that institution will prove a
blessing to her.

J0arnalistic Isolation.

The State newspaper remarks on the fact
that the News and Courier never mentions In
its editorial columns the names of its daily
State contemporaries. and speaks of the rule
which that paper adopted long ago 10 place
the country press at Quarantine"
Speaking Yor tie Press and Banner we do
not much blame the News and Courier for It's
course towards some OF the brethren. 1t is
better for the editor to say nothing than to
quarrel, and II is decidedly more pleasant and
more profitable for the readers of the paper.
As rule we believe that editors too often
speak disparsgingly OF each other. While
they may be as courteous as possible 10 9th.
ers, yet 70 brother editor they are too often
ill-natured.
And as for the country press, we have
thought that the daily newspapers as rule
have been disposed 70 treat them with little
consideration when they expressed opinions
which were at variance with their own.
Such things should not be, and We fully
agree with the State in the belief that there is
profit in "the pleasant friction Of surrounding
thought" and interchange OF journalistic
views.

General Farley would eliminate the profit
from the dispensary sales OF whiskey. To OF.
fer the people cheap whiskey is to encourage
drunkenness, and those who are working for
the sobriety Of the people would never con-
sent to that proposition. The Press and Ban
ner is waiting for the proper time to come,
when this newspaper will urge the increase
in the price Of liquor. One Of the greatest OBJ
jections to the present plan lies In the fact
that by the half pint and pint good liquor
may be had cheaper than under the license
system. Formerly a half pint of doubtful
stun was worth twenty-five cents. Now, the
dispenssry sells better liquor for twenty
cents, and at this price the State encourages
the sale Of liquor, and this the State should
not do. No, no. General Farley, the prohibi-
tionists would never consent to the selling OF
dispensary liquor at cost. The less whiskey
q man gets for his money, the better II Is for
him. We would double the price Of liquor, If
we Gould.

The Politicians Fighting for Liquor


There is just no use for anybody to under
take to bulldoze anybody on the dispensary
law. The few gentlemen In this State, COM
posing perhaps ten or fifteen per cent. Of the
people, would make tolerable poor showing
at resisting the great majority OF the people
who are armed with the authority Of law,
and who may be fully as determined to en-
force the law, as the opposing politicians
seem to be TO break 1t down.
AS far as our information goes 1t Is not the
barkeepers who are kicking up all this fuss.
It looks to us very much as il the politicians
are doing 1t all.
The saloon keepers at Abbeville have COM
piled with all the requirements of the dis
pensary law without q murmur, and have, by
their conduct in this matter, commanded the
respect OF all the people.
All good men must feel sorry for the loss
which came to the individuals who suffered
by the change In the law, and they respect
the unmurmuring and uncomplaining man.
ner in which they have submitted to that loss
and Inconvenience. But the people cannot
understand why disinterested newspapers
and politicians should espouse the cause
which the barkeepers themselves have aban-
doned. AS good citizens the saloon keepers Of
Abbeville have obeyed the law, and have
made no effort whatever to defy the law and
the will Of the people.
Heretofore the liquor dealers have been able
to take care of themselves, and we presume
that they are still able to do 80.
Those who are fighting the dispensary law
are leading forlorn hope, and are only fas-
tening the law more tightly on the people. by
forcing the Legislative and executive depart
ments to more severe steps. The appoint
ment of metropolitan police will no doubt
be humtliating for some OF the citizens OF
Charleston and the other recalcitrant cities.
and for that humiliation they alone will be
responsible. The law will be enforced, no
matter what the kicking politicians may say.

Alpena argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1893-1909, 1893-10-04

The second edition OF The Cosmopoli-
tan for September brought the total edl-
ton up to oil 900 copies, without doubt
the largest edition OF any magazine In the
world for this month. II remains for The
Cosmopolitan to have the Worlds Fair
treated In single number by twelve
different writers. AS the exposition OF
1893 must remain one OF the leading
events In the history of the United States,
the most distinguished men were asked
to prepare this magazine volume, which
Is destined to become valuable as one of
the most perfect descriptions Of the
Worlds Fair. Among the number OF
those who contribute are our only ex-
president, Walter Besant, the most dis
tinguished OF the English literary men
who visited the exposition, and host of
others. Besides the usual fiction, includ-
Ing story by Mark Twain, entitled, as
He Living or Is He Dead" and the regu-
lar departments, The Cosmopolitan con-
tains nearly one hundred illustrations
devoted to the Worlds Fair, including
eleven full pages. 1t is pronounced one
OF the most remarkable ofthe publications
yet issued regarding the Fair. II is a
completely illustrated guide or souvenir,
as one prefers to call 1t, by the most
famous writers Of the day, put before the
reader at the price of 12f cents, and more
than the equal of the books of the Fair
which sell for seventy-flve cents and one
dollar.

The County Fair.

On Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of last week the sixteenth
fair of the Alpena Agricultural Soci-
ETY. was held at the fair grounds in
this city, and proved success in
more ways than one. In attend
ance and receipts the exhibition was
marked success, while the fine ex-
hibits in all departments went to
show that Alpena county is behind
no other locality on earth when it
comes to producing fine and abun-
dant crops of nearly all kinds of
vegetables, superior fruits and first
class grain. In fact it is being
more fully demonstrated every year
that as an agricultural and fruit
growing region, AIpena county has
no equal.
This being an off year fruit in
this locality, the displays in that
departments were not so numerous
as we have had in seasons gone by, but
the size and quality of that which was
displayed could not be excelled by
any Of the much older counties OF
the state. So, too, with the veg
etables, and if there is a locality in
Michigan that can produce larger
better or more vegetables to the acre
than can be raised in Alpena county
we want to see the country.
There were several displays OF
grain, and the quality called forth
admiration from all.
Mercantile displays were made by
the Alpena Drug Store; G. A.
Shannon, furniture; Kerr & Jermin
and Mark G. Bostwick & Co., boots
and shoes; G. V. Hicks and G. r.
Goliath, pianos, organs, etc.; H. F.
Wilson, sewing machines, musical
instruments, etc.; s. E. Hutton,
harness, robes and blankets; M. N.
Bedford & Co., coal, brick and ma
chinery grease; j. M. Johnson,
-four feed, sash doors and blinds;
Archie McInnis and ]. w. Hall
wagons, buggies and farming i'm
pliments.
VIM. HAZEL had fine special dis
play of beef, pork, poultry, vegeta-
bles, ETC., that was admired by all
who saw it, and well it might be,
as it was entirely of home produc-
ton, raised on Mr.. Hazel's farm
on Long Lake avenue. And we
might say here, when they excel
Mr.. HAZEL in the production Of any.
thing of this kind, they must take
an early start.
There were many exhibits OF
horses, including, driving horses
work horses, farm teams, fancy
stock, brood mares, stations and
draught horses, and in this depart.
ment the show was unusually
good.
In cattle the numbers were some.
what deficient, but the quality was
of an excellent order.
Only a few sheep were on exhi.
bition, but the quality made up in
a measure for the number.
The fowls were as good as have
ever been shown in the country
and indicate that the raisers of poul.
try are taking several steps forward
