In cur opinion the prohibitionists
did the right thing for once when
they declined to nominate a State
ticket at their convention in Colum-
bia last week This was the only
wise course for them to pursue as
to have nominated State ticket at
this time would have been inviting
defeat which would have taken years
to recover from and place the cause
of the prohibition of the traffic in
alcoholic liquors on the vantage it
now occupies. The unpleasant fea-
ture of the occasion was the propo-
sition of jeremiah Smith of Horny,
to nominate a full State ticket indie
pendent of the Democratic party.
The adoption OF such an unwise pol
icy on the part of the convention
would have been to sound the death
knell of the prohibition movement
and the upbuildiDg and strengthen
ing of the whisky interest. We are
indeed gratifed to note the large
majority against Mr.. Smiths propo-
sition. 1t indicates that a wise, judi.
clous and conservative policy will
govern the deliberations of the
prohibitionists.

icating liquors as beverage.
II. No license, in any form, under
any circumstances, for the sale of
liquor to be used as a beverage.

law, with the penalties deserved for
a crime of such enormity.

public opinion upon the subject by
the active dissemination Of truth in
all the modes know to enlightened

dreadful scourge, against all forms
of opposition and difficulties, until
our success is complete and universal.

4 Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health,
and an absence of appetite is an in
dicatlon of something wrong. The
loss of rational desire for food is
soon followed by lack of strength.
for when the supply of fuel is cut off
the fire burns low. The system
gets into a low state, and is liable to
severe attacks of disease. The uni
versal testimony given by those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to
it's great merits in restoring and
sharpening the appetite, in promot
ing healthy action of the digestive
organs, and as a purifier Of the
blood, constitutes the strongest re
commendation that can be urged for
any medicine. Those who have
never used Hoods Sarsaparilla
should surely do so this season. 33.

To the Editor of the Dispatch;

The recent past cold has injured
the crops very much; but, neverthe-
less, considering every disadvantage,
crops are doing very we'll as they are
free from grass. and if seasons will
be favorable in the future We may
yet be able to gather bountious har-
vests.
The small grain was very sorry in
our section.
Fruit of all descriptions is a fail
ure except few blackberries and
perhaps some gooseberries. The
blackberry crop is gathered as fast
they get seed.
Owing to the dry weather the
gardens are very poor. Irish pota-
toes are about the most plentiful
crop. I think we have had them for
about twenty-one days in succession
and we hear Of no talk of change
yet.
1t was our pleasure to attend the
closing exercises of the Summit
school, which, to say the least OF,
was perfection in every way, and
more especially the very able ad-
dress delivered by Mr.. John Gary
Evans on Education. Mr.. Evans is
indeed an orator with a very fine
finish on him. and T predict he will
be our next Governor. What sayye?
st. Peters Lutheran church has
a fine Sunday school, with your
scribe as Superintendent and Miss
Lizzie A. Lowman, Secretary and

pastor, has charge of a class of Bible
and catechism students which bids
fair to succeed.
Sympathy and success for the Dis
patch. G.. NJ. ADAMS.

Democratic party; they will endorse
the position of Mr.. Charles 4.
Douglass, Richland's member of the
Democratic Executive Committee.
His action represents the sentiments
of the people of this city and county.
The utterances of The State repre-
sents nothing but the disgruntled
passion of its editor. Not corpo-
rails guard of White men in Colum-
bia will follow his example and alb
iure allegiance to the Democratic
party of South Carolina as at present
constituted. Unity Of the white race
in this State is of infinitely more
value than any fine drawn limitations
of the Democratic party. Weaver
received the vote of 2,4O7 white
South Carolinians in 1892. Those
white men are as true and loyal sons
of South Carolina as any men in the
State. They voted the State Demo
cratic ticket all the way through.
They were under no pledge to vote
for Mr.. Cleveland, and they did not
vote for him. We think they made
mistake in going outside the Demo
cratic party, even if it was only for
national election, but we utterly fail
to see why one mistake should for
ever debar them from the Democratic
party.
The white men of the State must
be kept together; unity is of prime
and vital Importance, and should be
preserved by all proper concessions.
The colored vote in South Carolina
is too enormous to make a perma-
nent division of white voters possi-
bic or desirable. The action Of the
executive committee was eminently
wise and proper. All white men
should be allowed to vote in the
Democratic primaries who will obi
gate themselves to abide by their re-
suit. There is no sense in driving
white men out of the Democratic
party. Every inducement should be
offered to keep the white men to-
gether.

one dreaded disease that science has

Representative Talbert, of this
State, has offered in the house joint
resolution to forbid the further issue
OF bonds TO maintain the gold balance
In the treasury. We believe he is
right. The Greenyille News hits the
nail on the head when it says ''this
thing OF issuing honds for gold, pay
ing out the gold for paper money
and issuing more bonds to. recover
the same gold may go on indefinitely.
The bond issue is temporary ex-
pedient and bad one. What we
need IS a permanent, established
policy. We must face the music on
the financial question sooner or later
and the sooner we start at it the
better"

Sunday School Picnic.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

III IlO GSilOL VI VIC AioP@tSh
In my ramblings through the Fork, it
was my pleasure to reach the neighbo. hood
of White Rock few days before the third
day of May, and having learned that the
Sunday school at that place was to have a
picnic on the above date, made it a point
to be there. So at an early hour l was on
the grounds and soon quite large assem-
blage of all ages began to arrive, and by
10 o'clock the bell called the people to-
gether in the school house.
There were two splendid addresses, one
by Mr. H. A. Mccullough of the seminary
at Newberry, and the other by Prof. S. J.
Derrick of the White Rock school. Both
were timely and appropriate and were list
ened to with marked attention by the en-
tire audience. Dinner was then announced
and such table, in these hard times, was
something TO be remembered. The crowd
did ample justice to the dinner and your
correspondent was NO exception. Every
body had plenty and to spare.
This was the second annual picnic of the
White Rock Srnd school and we hope to
enjoy many more of the .iame sort. Mr..
D. A. Richardson is the efficient Superin-
tendent, with good corps of assistants.
Lutheran congregation has recently
been organized at this place, and they con-
template erecting house Of worship in
the near fnture. RAMBLER.
