Prohibition Does Prohibit.

ELBERToN, GA, July %, 1895.
Editors Ia,telligencer Could we throw
a word across the Savannah that would
in anywise rebound to the success of tho
prohibition cause in South Carolina, as
we'll as to the success of worthy son Of
Anderson County, surely it would be un-
kind on our part to withhold it.
We note with pleasure the strong hold
that prohibition is taking upon the peo-
pie of the State. We note with equal
pleasure that Anderson County is fur
nishing the man in the person of our
friend, Featherstone, to carry the prohi-
bition standard. We are glad he is max
ing a clean race, and that the ''mud
singing business has been ielegated to
the background, so far as he is concerned.
1t is pity that full grown man, with
any sell-respect, will descend to this OBJ
noxious practice of "mud Singing"
either in politics or other matters. Some
people have an idea that they must gain
political support, not 80 much upon their
own merit, as upon the demerit:of their
opponents. This all wrong, and the peo-
pie ought to decry all such tactics by
voting against all who descend TO such
low plane in conducting their csmpaign.
Mr.. Tribble's .snap shot" in your last
issue is good and to the point. The Dis
pensary Law is wrong in principle--Pro-
hibition is right In principle.
Prohibition does prohibit. The claim
that it does not is silly. OF course people
steal and men are murdered in the face of
the fact that our laws prohibit the COM
mission of these crimes. By way OF IL
lustration we cite our little city of Elber-
ton as model prohibition place. Elber-
ton has about $500 Inhabitants, and we
venture that there is not a single town in
this broad land with the same population
that can boast of more sober set OF
vonng men. The reason of this is, we
have police force that catch the,otfend
ers, and we have Mayor who knows
how to put on fine This is the secret
CT enforcing any law.
We watt our good wishes to all of those
who are rallying around the standard OF
prohibition in the Palmetto State. The
christian men of South Carolina owe to
themselves and to their families and to
posterity to join in the fight against this
monster evil-alcohol-that has caused
more woe and heart breaks than all other
evils com bined; that has lett its trail in
almost every household throughout this
broad land-'the demon that has dug
more graves and sent more souls un-
shrived to Judgment than all the pesti.
lences that have wasted life since God
sent the plaques to Egypt. and all the
wars since Joshua stood beyond Jerico."
Very truly,

Mr.. Archer's Question Answered.

In reply to Mr.. Archer's question ::
"Who is Featherstone, anyhow ?'the
question displays more ignorance than
is usually manifested by a would-be
Governor Of South Carolina.
Mr.. Featherstone is gentleman,
born and raised in Anderson, and
would make a Governor Of whom the
people of the State would be proud.
There are about 40, 600 prohibitionssts
in South Carolina. In the eyes of the
quizical gentleman they are SCI Of
fools, who have no more sense than to
vote according to their convictions.
AS Mr.. Archer is not likely to get
their votes, possibly he had better
arrange to get Col. J. Larry Can't to
answer this question
"Who is Mr.. Archer, anyhow p

The Railroad Meeting at Townville.

The meeting held at Townville last
Saturday in the interest of the great
Black Diamond Railroad was very we'll
attended, and considerable interest was
aroused. Msjor G. w. Maret, who has
always taken deep interest in railroad
matters, presided, and speeches touching
and emphasizing every phase of railroad
development were made by Messrs- ]. L.
Tribble, P. K. McCully, J. E. Breazealc
and J. M. Sullivan, of this city, and r. e.
Mason and A. Zimmerman of Westmin-
ster.
The object of the meeting was to rouse
the people to the importance-the imper-
ative importance-of raising their pro-
portionate share of the money needed to
to defray the expenses of the preliminary
inspection of the route now already in
progress in the Northwest, and there can
be no doubt that the soliciting committee
named at the meeting, viz, Messrs. j. G.
Can't, N. o. Farmer, G. w. Shirley, DIR.
W. K. Sharp, 81. r. Vandiver and w. T.
Hunt, will succeed easily in raising the
sum necessary.
The ladies were out in full force, and
the spread of dinner was bountiful, rich
and varied-just such dinner as the
good women of Townville and she Fork
know how to prepare, and upon which
the poor dyspectic is sure to lay himself
out.
The meeting did good, and the friends
of the enterprise in the Fork country are
more hopeful. D.

IT is a source of great pride to the
people Of the South that the most i'm
portant work done at Santiago was
done by General Joseph Wheeler, Of
Alabama. In the great battle there
General Wheeler, though ordered to
the rear by the physicians, went to
the front and did more fighting than
any general in the army. When the
terms Of surrender were negotiated,
General Wheeler was in fact the chief
representative Of the American army.
His long service in congress and his
shrewd diplomacy marked him as the
man pre- eminently fitted for his work,
and that he did it well, none can
doubt. IF given chance other
Southern generals will be heard from
during this war.

We beg to call the attention OF our
readers to the article of J. L. Tribble,
ESQ.,, and to the letter of Col. Boone
in connection Herewith. Mr.. Tribble
calls attention to the fact that we
have reached the crisis the forks of
the road and we have got to go one
way or the other. Anderson cannot
afford to take backward step. If we
do we will simply drop out of the line
as one of the most progressive towns
in the State. We hope our people
will not let this opportunity pass.
Let us remind our people again Of
some Of our past history in railroad
matters. In 1852 the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad had been located
via Laurens, S. G. Anderson was a
small town, having possibly 300 in
habitants. A few patriotic citizens
took hold Of the matter. The most
prominent were the late j. P. Reed,
Joseph N. Whitner, j. 2. Benson,
Stephen McCully, j. w. Harrison,
Daniel Brown, DR.. A. Evins, Elias
Earle, j. G. Keys, Samuel Brown, of
Townville, and B. F. Crayton. Nearly
all these gentlemen subscribed 1000
piece to get the road to Anderson,
except about three, each Of whom sub
scribed $4,000, and went to work and
secured a road to Anderson, and
though all are dead except Hon. B.
Il. Crayton, their work still lives, and
made it possible for Anderson to
grow to be city of I 900 inhabitants
Anderson s wealth to-day is more than
hundred fold to what it was then,
and yet it seems to be struggle to
get the whole town to raise 81, ,92O
towards railroad enterprise that, in
magnitude, overshadows all other
railroad enterprises suggested for the
South. If out of the little pigmy Of a
road that, for twenty years, has been
used against the interest Of Anderson,
We have grown in spite OF all our draw
backs, what may we not expect from
the Black Diamond Road, which is TO
be built in our interest? The people
Of Anderson cannot afford to let this
enterprise go by default. Again, it
was sometime about 1901, when the
charter Of the Air Line Road was
changed so as to leave out Anderson.
One of the prominent citizens, then a
member of the Legislature, seeing
what was about to be done through
the use of little money, appealed to
the people of Anderson to raise 81 900
and be would be able to control it in

The bid was $50 piece for the pri-
Yates and s55 piece for the officers.
On 4 basis Of 1000 officers and $4,000

The Chicago Times-Herald, allud-
ing to the resolutions which the United
Confederate Veterans passed unan-
imously assuring the President of
their hearty support Of his war policy,
says: s'The bonds of national unity
that are sealed by the blood Of the
blue and the grey in the struggle for
Cuban liberty can never be severed.
The sentiment Of the people is with
the President when he declares that
the war with Spain has already served
useful purpose in Wiping out all the
sectional lines Of the struggle for the
Union. 2

MARTIN THORN EXECUTED
| GOES INTO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR
WITHOUT APPARENT TREVOR.
Poys the Penalty for the Murder OF
william Guldensuppe, for which
HIS Accomplice. Mrs. Augusta
Mack, In New Serving . Sentence.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-Martin Thorn
was put to deadth in prison at Sing Sing
at l1:17 this morning for the murder Of
William Guldensuppe.
There was no untoward incident in con-
nection with the execution. and after the
current had been turned on dfty-ive Sec
onds Thorn was dead.
Thorn sat Up late last night and talked
OF his parents and his hoyhood days in Ger
many. He showed no nervousness. and
when he threw himself on his cot it was
but q few minutes until he was sound
asleep. This morning he said he was per-
fectly reconciled to his fate, and that he
had made peace with his God. His nerve
was stronger than that OF any other muir
derer who has been in the death house.
Thorn told his keepers his only dread was
the wait from the time he awoke until he
was summoned 10 the chair.
The condemned man received the last
sacraments of the Roman Catholic church.
The crime for which Martin Thorn paid
the death penalty was the murder of VIII
lam Guldensuppe, a bath house attendant.
On June g. 1897. Mrs. Augusta Mack. who
was charged with being an accomplice,
turned states evidence at the trial and
told how she had decoyed Guldensuppe to
cottage at Woodside, L. L., where Thorn
was waiting to take his life.
Guldensuppe was shot and his head dis
membered from the body to prevent iden-
LITIGATION. The body was then placed in
a table cloth and thrown into the East
river, where it was discovered floating by
two youthful swimmers. Thorn testified
that Mrs. Mack did the killing and he
only helped to dispose of the body. Thorn
was found guilty after a memorable trial
and sentenced to death. Mrs. Mack was
allowed to plead guilty to manslaughter
and was sentenced to fifteen years I'M
prsonment. The motive of the crime was
jealousy.
