Last Monday Mr.. F. M. Crowther, living In
the Gordon >neighbor, came to town and re-
ported that black bear had crossed the road
in frontfo his team, near Cochran's branch
above, Long Cane church on the Due West
toad. In4order to have some sport. Dr. L. T.
Hill, Messrs. ]. l.. Mcmillan and j. II. McDill
went snlpe hunting. They didn't bring home
the game. The bear was gone as evidenced
by the tracks. These gentlemen had point
er dog with them, but the dog couldn't point
the bear. The tracks OF the bear were plainly
seen until the animal reached the creek
where II seems the animal must have disap-
peered In the water. After giving up the
chase OF the bear. they, like Mark Twaln's
man, got 'something else" In the shape Of

Control is sending out of our State
each year at least one million dollars
and in exchange for 1t bringing into
the State and distributing to our peo-
pie five times the amount in poverty,
wretcheduess, disease and death.
We appeal to every newspaper in the
State that has sense of honesty and
fairness to lose sight of the few dollars
that may come to it through those who
love liquor; to forego the imaginary
pleasure of holding up the hands Of
those who cry personal liberty" "when
that personal liberty Is violative Of the
rights OF others, and to join with us In
the effort to remove the -accursed
liquor traffic from our State. & ";
We appeal to the good women of the
State, and when have the women Of
South Carolina ever failed In a good
cause? You, cannot vote, it Is true,
but you can give expression to your
opposition to the Liquor traffic by
wearing the badge and by thousand
acts of your life, and it may be your
hand that shall drive the tent nail"
through the head of the monster that
is now actually eating your offspring.
We appeal to the Christian ministers
of the State. Shall those who preach
the gospel enter the field and speak
against liquor selling? See the Master
with scourge driving out the money
changers from the temple, overthrow
ing the tables and pouring out their
money and hear him cry, "Woe unto
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ;ye
serpents, we generation of vipers, how
can ye escape the damnation of hell |,s
and you will see that He did not aeem.
to have sort of namby pamby citizen;
ship, nor to have been afraid of Offend
ing against the proprieties of life.
Remember that this liquor-selliug and
iquor-drinking is the one great bat
terry of hell, manned chiefly by the
Devil himself, and is shelling the
church of Christ, Staying your brothers
all around you, and you stand as
watchmen on the walls Of Zion and
must cry out with warning to those
around you. Arise as soldiers OF the
cross and silence forever this destruc-
tive agency of the Devil. q,
Light the fires of Prohibition on

At a regular meeting of Tom Con-
ner Post No 800 G. A. K. of Rose Hill
November 3 1900, a committee was
appointed to draft resolutions re-
garding the death OF our beloved
comrade, and they report as follows:
Whereas, God in his allwise provi-
dence has removed from our midst
our beloved comrade, James Souter,
on the 18th dav of October, 1000, the
old soldiers lose one of their most
worthy and upright comrades, always
ready to do an act of kindness and
assist the sick and afflicted.
Resolved, that we recognize in him
a man of pure and noble character, a
generous and kind hearted neighbor
and kind and loving father
Resolved, that in his death the
