Rain. rain. Yes, this is the most
common thing nowadays, and it will
not be many days before grass will be
common among some of our people.
Crops are looking fine on account OF so
much rain. The heaviest rain of this
season that has fell here descended here
last Saturday evening and night. 1t
washed up things To suit itself, we
think. Corner Creek was the highest
it has been for long time. The corn
on the creek is lying flat now, and it is
feared part of it is damaged.

There IL, going to be ali important
question for this year, and that is the
solution of the whiskey problem. Yes,
it will no doubt be discussed very
plainly, and we would rejoice to see
old South Carolina Il "PrOhibiti0n
State" free from the sale of the Gin
toxicating good for nothing illitcratc-
Sstuff' But will prohibition prohibito
The question has been asked several
times. We don't think it will, because
buy ,whiskcy, drink whiskey. and sell
whskey as. long as the world stands.
Ana. yes, there are some that are going
to distill it, too, for it is being made i'm
Anderson County to-day. We are in
favor OF prohibition if it will prohibit,
but under conditions now prevailing in
this State, we firmly believe that pro
illbition-so- called : would dwindle
back into the old bar room system.
However, give prohibition fair test,
trial and see if it will give the people
prohibition. The present solution OF
wliskey selling is commcndable, but
1t has some bad features i'll it as we'll
ns good ones. If this State goes for
prohibition this year and elects
prohibition ticket, we do hope it will
prohibit tho sale of whiskey.
