The Time for Farmers.

The state institute for farmers will
meet at Clemson, August, 10. The
ADVERTISER wishes again to say that
an excellent opportun' ty will be af-
forded farmers, at little expense, to
learn great deal and enjoy themselves
at the same time.
The ADVERTISER fully believes that
at last good times for the South Caro-
lima farmer are coming. The prospect
is for good prices for cotton. Farmers
have q fine homo market for farm pro-
duc,. They can obtain nearly twice as
much for beeves, poultry, eggs and
butter now as they could a few years
ago. No farmer is likely to prosper, be
the times good OF bad, un'ess he works.

ways of utilizing opportunities will be
discussed. Now is the timo for Lau.

Ancient History.

In The Columbia State Of last Thurs
day Thomas j. LaMOtte writes q letter
pointing out that disnensers as q ru'o
do net carry out the rtoyisions OF the
dispensary law i'm requiring buyers OF
liquors to sign their names and i'll pre-
senting detailed monthly reports. Mr..
LaMotte declares substantially that
the oaths of office are disregarded by
many dispensers and that many OF he
''reform" features of the system are
quietly and generally ignored.
Mr.. LaMotte'5 remarks may be true
but they are not important. Mr., La
Motto does rot understand tho sItua-
tion. He forgets that of all political
sects in South Carolina the Prohibit
t~ionists are the most d~iscredlted. 1t
has been fully determined, perhaps
finally, in this state, that the Prohi-
tionists ara in league with "the blind
tigers" 1t has been agreed by the
political powers that the Prohibition
lists are the ~irrcconcilable enemies Of
ref run in the whiskey traffic. What
ever the Prohibitonists say is to be
set down as an insIdiouS attack on the
"best solution of the whiskey ques-
ton" Mr.. LaMotto is a Prohibition
list. We say, therefore, gently but
firmly Mr.. LaMotte had best lay aside
his pen and keep his mouth shut.
Prohibition, in South Carolina, IS a
stale, dead, fo.id notion. The sale of
whiskey, by the people of South Caro-
lima in their organized capacity as a
commonwealth has been adjudged
righteous aud, practically, all who OPP
pose it have been cast ont as uGright-
eous. The earlier that men like Mr..
LaMotte recognize this and accept
their condemnation as a defunct class,
the better for their peace of mind. A
Prohibi.ionist In South Carolina is no
better than a preacher in these days
and those who rec Ill the campaign Of
1898 know that the voice OF the preach
err has "played out" when 1t sounds on
the whiskey question. True, the Ia
dios and children are still allowed to
be Prohibitionis.s in their societies

tionists, except, Of course, such men as
Mr.. LaMotto. These facts are doubt
less unpleasant but they must be swa!-
lowed by every man who &c ms the
sale OF intoxtcants immoral and evil.
To require dispensers to observe the
law in the sale OF whiskeys is twaddle.
If they enforce the Law, the sac Of
whiskey will be curtailcd. Wnen the
time that every man must sign
up" when he buys Il pint OF whiskey
and sales to miners and drunkards are
stopped, the sales and the profits will
decrease. That would mean the de-
crease of the school fund snl the town
and county revenues. The violations Of
the law, the creation OF drunkards
thereby and the incidental ignoring of
oaths of office will rot be allowed to in
t%erfere with the profit making feature.
The dispcnsary system has soaked
and saturated the state with morality.
1t has induced fairness The evidel ces
of prosperity, due to the system arc
striking. They are Migrant. They are

The Rocking OF Lake Erie.

The 250-mile trough Of Lake Erie lies
approximately in the direction of the
west to southwest winds which pre-
vail in that part of the country. Thus
the lake offers an excellent opportuni-
ty for studying the effects of the wind
upon large body of enclosed water,
and very interesting these effects
sometimes prove. Rhythmic gusts
produce rocking motion. and great
blows from the west or southwest,
like that. for instance, which accom-
panied the Galveston hurricane in

body OF the lake eastward, and some
times cause rise of eight feet or

TWO BIRDS.

Two birds flew out of the South one day,
And over the joyons world
Each flung melody loud and sweet
And gladly its tired wings furied.
And one bird high on the tallest tree
A place for its nesting found.
While humbly the other built its home
Low down on the common ground.
A Strike few by and it saw the nest
That swayed in the branches high,
But the low built nest Of the humble
bird
He saw not and passed it by.
Which points the moral / wish TO show;
Though fortune has cast your lot
Low down in the world with the humble
ones,
The ills that strike at the mansion oft
pass over the humble cot.
