A great many of the business men
along Water stree express the opinion
that rDthing will be gained by crowd :
ing the Electric Road on the left side
Of Rines hill. There are very many
people who would be glad to see the
sidewalk on the east side of Water
street carried up over the hill. ard who
express the opinion that such move
would result in diverting quite a lot
of the travel that now goes over the
hill on the west to the opposite side
thus relieving the congestion that fire.
ouently occurs at certain hours of the
dav on the present walk over the hill.
Such a sidewalk would be entirely
prqcticable-and especially so if road
could be built from Water street, pass
Ing under the railroad track at the foot
of Court hill and thence. by a true
grade. to State street up the gully in
the rear Of the Jail. This seems to be
an Improvement that is now being very
generally and favorably discussed By
the people of our city. There can be
TO question but what it would be an
exceedingly popular move, and one
where the tax payers would always feel
that they had received substantial
return for their money. t

Then there was great contention
about the dispensary. The So
called prohibitionists of that COM
munity were not satisfied until the
dispensary was removed and the
blind tiger came III it's stead. The
people there take to anything out
of the ordinary run.
The Yorkville Yeoman tells of
the last entertainment the people
of Tirzah had. 1t was o lecture
from Marlborough and Mitchell in
the town school house last Sunday
afternoon. They hail from Edge
field county and spoke Of the evils
of whiskey.
They said they had been mem
bers of the First South Carolina
Volunteer Infantry and that when
they landed at Chickamauga there
were only 81 sober men to be found
in the regiment, OF, scarcely en- ,ugh
70 put up the. tents, and that the
same could be said at, Jacksonville
and that mal.y young man died
with the whiskey gushing from his
| mouth and on the person of a great
many of whom whiskey caused
their death could be found vows
W hich were sealed with oaths to
their dear mothers that they would
lead sober lives, and yet they fill
graves of drunkards They said
their canteens were used for carry
ing whiskey more than water and
also said that more men died from
whlskey in one form and another
than from any other single cause,
The young men made no charge
for their lecture but their audience
raised three or four dollars and
gave to them, and they went on
their way in the direction of North
