PROHIBITION,
Shall 1t Have Fair Trial in
South Carolina.

ga meeting at Edgefeld Oh the
End of April" has been called in
the interests of prohibition. OF
course, the object of this meeting
is simply to select delegates to the
coming prohibition convention to
meet in Columbia on the 14th OF
April, and yet it is a matter of no
small Importance, and ought not
to be passed by with Indifference.
If every county will send to the
convention men of strong convic-
tons, men who earnestly desire
such measures as may best pro-
mote the cause of temperance, the
deliberations and decisions of that
convention will command the
thoughtful consideration of voters
in the elections of 1898,
Citlzens of Edgeiield, if possible,
attend the meeting next Saturday.
Select wise and earnest-hesrted
men as your representatives to the
prohibition convention, that you
may have a voice in counsels which
certainly have for their object the
secular, moral, and social welfare
of our people.

The sympathetic tenderness of low
ing husband is everything to an expec-
tant mother, especially during her tlrst
ordeal. George Layton, Esq, a prorni-
nent druggist Of Dayton, o., gives the
following case:
A customer Of mine, whose wife HAS used
four bottles Of " Mothcr's Friend" before CON
fncrnert, says, after seeing the effects OF the
remedy, that If she had 10 so through the ordeal
again, and there were but four bottles on the
market and the cost was $lCO per bottle, ohe
would have them.
Mothers Friend is scientifically
compounded ininent which affords GER
tain relief in the various ailments pre-
ceding childbirth, and assures proper
elasticity to the cords and muscles In
volved in the final ordeal.
"Mother's Friend" is sold by drug
gists, or expressed on receipt OF one
dollar.

Lord AlvanIey.

Lord Alyanley followed Sheridan and
Brummell as a sayer of good things, but
those most generally quoted have @
touch of sarcastic malice, for cynical
talk was fashion Of the time When
Brummell made his midnight fitting to
Boulogne at the suit of the Jews, he re-
marked complacently, "Brummell has
done quite right to be off; it was Solo.
mon s Judgment. He was kindheart.
ed man and gave many proofs of gen.
erosity to acquaintance in distress. One
of those he had assisted was the we'll
known Jack Talbot, reckless prodigal,
who had repeatedly borrowed of him.
When Talbot was beggared and lying
on bis deathbed, Alvanley met his doc
Tor and inquired about the invalid. The
answer was: "My lord, fear he is in
a bad way. had to use the lancet. "
"Yor should have tapped him, doctor, "
said Alvanley coolly. 81 fear he has
more claret than blood in his veins"
Much more excusable, considering the
man and the circumstances, was Alvan-
lsy's expostulation when he had been
persuaded to dine with the eccentric
millionaire Neeld In his new mansion
In Grosvenor square. The host, with
the vulgarity of nouveau richie, was ex-
patiating on the sumptuous decorations
Of the apartment and, in the words Of
Milton, Getting dinner cool. +" 81 don't
care what your gliding COST" said AL
van!ey bluntly, "but am most anxious
to make a trial of your carving, for /

ana all are crowded every day with team-
sters hauling these commodities. Our far

HABITS, for everybody is busy. Deliveries of
90 to 125 cords of heading timber is made

CAsHTON.

CASHTON, Feb. 19.-What has become of the
Cashton correspondent? The CENSOR makes
regular weekly visits here and is always
warmly welcomed. 1t never grumbles or
finds fault although it may have many de-
linquents on its subscription list. The last
fall of snow followed by tie and wood hauling
mas llVened things up in town greatly, other
wise our town Is quiet and in normal condi-
ton. Quite extensive preparation Is being
made In the shape of putting material on the
ground to replace the buildings burned last
New Years morning, We understand the
new buildings will be either solid brick or
stone. -. The city waterworks are now In fine
working order. The gasoline engine does
fine work, and people coming here thirsty
from distance, when all other means are
water. -. 1t Is rumored that Squire G. c. Tay-
lOf has purchased and taken possession of the
Cashton Record. When last heard of Mr.
Haines, IS former editor. had taken up quar-
tiers at the ''Citys Hotel, where friend Sher-
rick caters to his wants....Yet little early
been started, and from present appearances
our local politics promise to be quite inter-
eSting, especially so for two offices, viz presi-
dent of the village board and marshal. 1t
has just leaked out that the marshals office
paid, last year, about S4o0, so we don't Won
place. We noticed In the last issue of the
CENSOR that already three announcements
for county officers had been made. This
seems little early does 1t not? After all, we
don't wonder so much when we know that
Vernon county IS always In the lead politi-
cally. We can only say that Monroe is close
second, when at this early date seven candi-
date have already signifed their willingness
to serve the county in the capacity of sheriff.
This Is merely a starter, as we expect the
number will be doubled between now and
convention time. A SUBSCRIBER.
