Crops are in great need Of Il show

than all the rain in June.
l'rotractcd meetings have been in
progress in our vicinity during the past
week, and il is my humble belief that
much good has been done.
Mr. Sharp liobson has gone to spend

The sad and darkcncd angel OF dcnt II
has entered our community and pluck
oh ont two beloved and shining Jewels
Tor the Fathers home. :'n the morn
ing OF the 10th inst. the angel of the
Lord called Mrs t;cIn,:;na Howard,
and She with the Joy OF one who draws
the drapcry of his couch around hin
and lays down tn pleasant dreams,
swcctly rcclIncd on the all-suppOrting
arm and slept the sleep of peace. IIav-
ing sODtIlcd into eternal bliss the soul
of Mrs. Howard. the garncring angel
damghtci, Mrs. j. III. Kcaslcr, and badc
her enter he joy and eternal cOmpan-
ionship Of her mother. The remains of
he two were carried to Sandy Springs
the following day, and after the tuner
al services, W. icll were conducted by
Rev. II. T.. StackhOusc, the bodies were

mima Howard WIS 9S years old, and
Mrs. kcaslcr 49, They both connected
themselves with the Sandy Springs
Church many years ago, and have ever
lived an exemplary Christian life. OH.
';od, let thy comforting angel follow
closely in the footsteps of the angel Of
death, that he may bind up the bleed
ing, broken hearts that death has pass
ed. Let thy richest and omnipotent
guidance rest upon Mrs. Kcaslcr's two
daughters, who are thus left with all
the cares and anXietics Of bringing up
Il number OF Younger brothers and
sisters. Peace, daughters, your moth
or is resting.
The election is drawing near, and
we notice that some are already begin
ming to boost their f;lvOrite candidates.
1T Is not our intention to boost any PR
ticular candidate. But there are some
principles which must be large CON
stitucnt OF the one who is to receive Il
majority vote OF the State, or ut least
Anderson County. We do not want II
man i'll office who sets his face towards
the past. Those men who use their
adv:inccmcnts as the building Of good
roads, and raising the State out Of the
depths OF 81 degrading and sin-cursc,i
liquor rule, are not the men to sit in
llgh places governing this people in
THIS day, when peace and advancement
should bc our highest aim. The pros
pcrity OF any State depends upon the
prosperity Of lis constituent units-the
hOmc-:nd, how can this State expect
to prosper while it sells Il drug that de-
iitcand the property Of its constituentsY
What would the people say of man
who used every. precaution possible to
maintain II wolf and sheer il. tic same
pasture peaceably? Would they not
say: Fool, separate them?" Just so, if
Oiir people want land of peace and
plenty, they must, without fear, remove
forever this dnmnablc drug that works
upon the vital life chords of man. II
the men that we have gladly followed
IN the past, refuse to comply with our
wishes, why in the name of reason let's
put other men i'll their places. B. II.
Iillmnn has swayed the public mind in
this State during the last ton years,
anu many people have followed him
implicitly. But, without any intention
OF casting shadow of o doubt in any
one, VIC must say that many dire and
unthOughtof calamitics have been per-
petuatcd by seemingly friends. It is
plainly to be seen by all. that Tillman
the machine that has given him smpre-
macy in this State. remember when
Ililman, in all humbleness. addressed
the people solicitously, calling himself
q Wool hat and one gallus man." But
where is the "WoOl hat and one gallus
man. now? He is transformed into q
bold, daring, arrogant man of ingrati-
tude. assaulting the highest calling iI
the univcrse-the ministry. These re-
marks are not intended to be taken
contempt9ons!y. M9 have high re-
Il man refuses to grant his aid to his
supporters, it is our advisory to support
ono who will. Why will cur people
doubt and fear the results of prohibi-
tion3 There are absolutely. no evil
consequences that can possibly follow
strict prohibition, and it is rot pro-
blcm that can be solved i'll dollars and
cents. Last Sunday we passed along
the public road and saw n crowd Of
and r;otous white men and
boys naked and bathing in the creek.
We also entered Church recently and
saw q boy sitting there sanctimonious-
ly. under the voice of the preacher with
2 half-pint of liquor in his vest pocket.
Now, we admit that prohibition would
not prohibit man or boy from bath
ing In public view or on Sunday If thoy
wished to do 80. But it would remove
beyond their reach this damnable agent
lures. Hurrah for every candidate
who stands for prohibition!
Bon AMATEUR.
