In cases of this kind-election cases-it
is exceedingly difficult toget the witnesses,
because no individual is especially hurt by
the offence, and the longer il goes over, the

Therefore. without extending the argu-
ment into details | will sum up 10 your
Honors the two points on which rest my
position. First, the peculiar responsibility
resting upon the Attorney General in a
class of cases of supreme Importance to
the community, but i'll which there are no
private interest wronged, and SO private
individuals have no interest or feeling to
press the prosecution, thus doubling the
responsibility laid upon the prosecuting
officer.
Again. the effect that speedy prose-

with yigor, and finally, the general effect
| of a continuance upon the recollection OF
| witnesses, and particularly so in this class
| of cases, where there are no reasons 70
keep fresh the facts in the minds OF the
| witnesses, and the increasing difficulty oil

tending that there was nothing III tn'

defendants were indicted, which would

Blind Tigers Rampant Every

Mr.. EDITOR: Blind tigers are
springing up all over the county,
and the North Carolina distilleries
are flooding the county with their
circulars giving the people their
prices for corn whlskey, and also
saying they now can ship them
any quantities Oh the railroads, as
there is no law to prohibit them
from so doing. The result is the
country is being stocked with
whiskey. So much for the prohi-
bition law! The prohibitionists
are doing nothing in the country
that I know Of to prosecute these
cases. They have been making
strong appeals to the Legislature
for a prohibition law and now they
have such q law, and what are they
doing to enforce it? Nothing that

what is everybody's business is no
nobody's, and nobody cares to take
the trouble of prosecutions upon
himself, and the trouble and ex-
pense of going perhaps backward
and forward several times attend

have the law they have been pray
ing for 10 these many years, they
ought to be up and doing and
work with all their might and
strength to enforce it. Now is

American Pineapples.

According to recent article in
the Youths Companion, a group
of five small keys lying off the ex-
treme southern point of Florida is
now the principal pineapple pro-
ducing district of the world. Less
than seven hundred acres altogeth-
er are here devoted to the cultiva-
ting of this fruit. but from this
area 100000 pine-apples have
been shipped to New York in a sim
gle year. The plant is plopagated
from suckers or slips, and 10000
may be planted to the acre, two
thirds of which will bear fruit, so
that if dollar dozen could be
realized. the crop would be a lu-
crative one. The most common
variety is the Scarlet or Spanish,
The one ordinarily seen in the
North, on account of its good ship
ping qualities. Next in abund-
ance is the Sugarloaf, sweeter
fruit. but more delicate, and there
fore more difficult to handle.
Egyptian Queen, large juicy
fruit, is harder still to transport,
and best of all is the Puerto Rico,
a fruit weighing ten pounds, but
so mellow that it is rarely seen
more than two hundred miles from
the place where it is growing. A
field of pineapples, raised from
slips, will bear for five years,
though after the second year the
yield steadily decreases. The fiel d
planted with suckers only yields
for two years. After this the land
seems exhausted, and it's strength
must be renewed with fertilizers
and by growing other crops, while
plantations of pineapples are made
in another field. The fruit which
is allowed to ripen in the field is
altogether superior in melting
quality, rich flavor and whole
someness to the hard, sour and in
digestible specimens which must
be picked while they are solid and
green, so that they can endure a
Journey to Northern cities.

can make to kill out the blind
tigers that are in out of the way
places all over the country. I am
fearful they will not domuch at it,
as it is not as easy to do as it is to
talk and write about it. There is
no restriction now to keep railroads
from bringing liquor into the
State, and there will be great
quantities of it brought in"
When the dispensary was pro-
nounced unconstitutional it was a
difficult matter to ship liquor into
the State. The railroads were so
closely watched by the constables
thai they had very little chance to
deliver liquor to parties whom it
was fo:. Will the prohibitionists
watch blind tigers as diligently as
the constabulary did railroads
bringing in liquor? I fear not.

CORRESPONDENCE
For the ADVERTISER.
Items from Etheredge.

Mr.. EDITOR: The cool weather
remains with us, and il seems that
all nature is now chilled and on
the 20 back schedule. Two weeks
ago the corn, cotton, gardens, and
all drops throughout this portino
Of the country were looking fine,
but they have made no progress
since the cold snap set in. We trust,
however, that the result will not be
serious.
The farmers are all pretty we'll
up with the hoeing and plowing,
still they have work to keep them
on the go, as the small grain is
now ready to be harvested: which
crop is far from meeting the expec-
tations of the people. There are,
however, few fields of very good
wheat, some good oats, but the ma
jority Of the people will not get to
feed oats long.
Politics are very quiet in this
portion of the county just now, we
suppose the people are all waiting
for the campaign to open. Then
it is expected they will open too,
though now they are so very silent
that you would not know which
side they were on, but we presume
that, if they are not on one side
they are on the other. Our past
history here shows that we are
always in it, when 'candidating
time" comes along; but we would
like very much to see the law-abid-
ing, peace-lovlng people of this
glorious, grand old palmetto
State" be more moderate in regard
to political affairs; her politics are
beginning to be SO corrupt that we
don't know "where we are at" But
we do know some of its bad effects.
It causes father and son to disagree,
it arrays brother against brother,
it puts down society in a commu-
nifty and causes i'll feelings be-
tween man and fellowman, and
worst of all it hurts the cause of
religion. Let the good people of
this fair section, if not all over
the State. awake out of that sleep
in which they have so long slum-
bered, and let no political differ
ences be known to them.

and put III jail here. Last night
a mob entered the jail, bound and

took the negro three miles from

shot him about twenty-five times.

campaign is about on us, we should
begin to cast about for good men
to represent us in the State Legis-

AS rule I am opposed to states
unless the people can have a say
in it. think all Reformers should
have a chance to say whom they
prefer, and hence don't you think
it would be best to choose our
ticket for the Legislature when we
select our candidate for Governor.
Then there would be no kicking,
could be none, by disappointed
candidates. Edgefeld county
should be represented by men COM
petent to lead, by men competent
TO sustain her reputation, and with
this end in view, I beg permission
to suggest the following ticket:
Col. R. B. Watson,

If these men will run, Edgefeld
