TIE MANUFACTURES or CORN

have little conception of the amount of
whiskey manufactured here in Col

know that such thing as a distillery,
the largest perhaps south of kentucky,
is in full operation on the banks of the
Congaree river near the big Olympia
cotton mill, whose daily output, when
rnnning at the full capacity, is about
5000 gallons of corn whlskey, con-
suming 600 bushels Of grain day.

is one of our recognized and legalizcd
institutions. The government derives
an enormous revenue thcrefrom and
the taxes imposed upon whiskey and
tobacco is enough 10 crush them out
Of existence, yet men, or rather the

and stop DR.. Latham from going to

Candidates. Take Notice.

We have recently received from
several candidates for State Offices
articles announcing their candidacy
and written for their individual ben
eft. We want to say in time, so that
there will be no hard feelings in the
future, that all such articles are legiti-
mate advertisements and will be so
treated at this Office. A charge
of half a cent word will be made for
all articles written in the individual
interest of any candidate, and to
insure its publication the cash must
accompany the article. Count the
number of words, divide by two and
send us the money. Those who seek
political preferment are Influenced
by the emoluments attached thereto.
They expect, if elected, to make a liV-
ing out of Offices to which they aspire,
otherwise they would not seek it, and
so we make our meat and bread cut
of our advertising and subscription
patronage.

Easter Sunday dawned beautiful
and bright and nature wore her garb
of brilliant hues as if keeping with
the memory of the day when the
Lorld robbed the grave of it's victory
and death Of sting and by his COM
ing forth brought life and Immortality
to light,
The churches were we'll filed with
appreciative congregations who list
ened attentively to fine sermons.
The services at St. Stephens
Evangelical Lutheran church were
unusually impressive. The church
was tastefully and appropriately
decorated with cut flowers ard bot
house plants and on either side of
the preacher we're vase of beautiful
Easter lilies, hyacinths and narcissus
which forcibly reminded one of the
sacredness and purity of the day
which is so hallowed and re7ered by
the Christian church. These en-
blems of rejuvenated life were the
thoughtfulness of gentle woman.
The Rev. J. G. Graichen preached,
a fine sermon from 1st Cor. NV:20.
"But now is Christ risen from the
dead and became the first fruits of
them that slept"
Appropriate services were also held
in the Methodist church by Rev. W.
D Quick and his discourse was en-
tirely in keeping with the occasion.
