81 Oh, yes, dear ADVERTISER, the
dude with his shirtwaists may
have some rights, but at some ho-
tells and other places we wot of
the said dudes shirtwaist rights
vanish like the morning, and he
is made to stand aside like q poor
man at a frolic.-Edgefeld Cor.
Johnston Monitor.
And we offer odds that the ones
" ho founce out of hotel dining
10 oma when shirt-waiat men enter,
are still Misses who are on the
wrong side of thirty and have
more money than brains. Human
nature is the same all around the
world, and kicking" is an indis-
pensable luxury which chronic
grumblers and fault-finders enjoy.
Half the people will kick vigor-
5ously at new styles to make them
popular and then turn around and
follow it with sublimeness,, and
meekness that is simply amusing.
You understand how a poor man
feels at frolic, do you : Better
try q shirt-wsist and see if you do
not experience q different feeling.

We notice McLaurin is called
q republican, or the same thing
q commercial democrat-but he is
iyited to speak at Union along
with good democrats, Bryan, SEN
ssors Henderson and Tillman, Nc
Sweeney, and others. They claim
to be going to enjoy two days OF
enlightment on national subjects.
They may be wiser, but if some
of the speakers invited, 20 in all,
have not told all they knew alrea-
dy on national subjects, and more
too, it is not for lack of opportun-
tiles. We would have more re-
spect for some politicians if they
would show their wisdom by keep
ing silent. A barbecue will be
given the two days of the speaking.
The tables upon which repast is to
be served may be lightened, but
we doubt if the people will be en-
lightened by this meeting.

The latest is that mules are be.
ing vaccinated. Some people kick
when they are required to be vac
cinated, and we wouldn't be at all
surprised at an innocent mule do
ing little kicking 1t is best
not to interfere or get too near
the "business end of a mule" 1t
is Wise never to come in contact
with negro's head or a mules
heels. They are dangerous to deal
with, and if you don't want to
take last ride with the under
taker, be on thy guard when a
mule is grazing in thy back yard.
This is not idle talk, and We know
'tis easier to ride than walk, but
rather than be a fool, tits better to
walk than ride a mule.

We direct the attention of the
Sumter Watchman and Southron

mentioned in Saturdays State and
hope it will have something now

Sighting. Ask The State to give
the law points as to the legality of
the affair, and learn whether the

There is to be a political

There is to be a political
speech making on the 9th and
9th of August at Union. The
citizens of that town wish to
be fully informed as to all the
questions at issue in the po-
litical world. There are at
the usual political gatherings
so many speakers, and each
one is so desirous of present
ing his peculiar views and the
speeches are so full of con-
troversy and argument with
opponents over small matters,
that the people cannoe really
by this means get into the real
merits of the situations 1t is
for this reason the people OF
Union and surrounding coun-
ties deem it imperative that
they give two days to this oc; !;
casion. They have selected
politicians of ability to discuss
the present situation. Among
those selected are Honorables
Ben Tillman, George John
stone, w. J. Talbert, Dan S,
Henderson, Senator McLaur-
in, w. ]. Bryan and others.
Reduced rates for this occa-
sion will be on sale from all
points in the state to Union
and return. The Secretary
of the Committee in charge,
w. w. Dixon, has the fol-
lowing to say of the meeting:
{" We are simply seeking in
formation and enlightenment.
There are two distinct schools

In the fight as to whether the
should be established

In the fight as to whether the
dIspensary should be established
at Brookland this rebuke was CIV
en- the one favoring the law: 81 am
surprised at the action of Mayor
Witt, as well as that Of Prof. Dent,
who had taught the speaker and
had led him into the church" The
speaker was Mr.. Weed. A sad
spectacle this. How it must have
touched the heart of the man who
once led men to Christ, but who
now is not only stumbling block
to this man, but is placing the
means of temptation before his
fellow men, who are 80 constituted
as to not be able to overcome the
drink habit, where they are to be
the ready victims and patronizera
of the dispensary 80 long as they
are able to buy, which they will dc
il they let Innocent children and
helpless wives 60 ragged and hun
cry. If men will get drunk, put
the temptation as far away as If
possible.
