PEARSON'S ISLAND.

This community was made sad BY

which occurred at her home in Essex
about three weeks ago. Miss Waring
was well known in this neighbor-
hood, having taught school near here

friends at this place and Suggett's
Point, will return to their home this
week accompanied by their niece,
Miss Sarah Carson, who has spent
the past fall and winter with her
cousin, Mrs S. E. Cralle.
l have heard considerable talk
abont the bad roads of late, but l
think walking must be good around
here, as three young fellows from
this place stumped it for about seven
miles one night recently to a social
gathering, and after indulging in
the light fantastic until a late hour
returned home about day with muddy
shoes and sore feet.
j. A. Allison & Bro, oyster pack

were disfranchised have received in

GIVE THE MANN BILL A SHOW
The Richmond Nears Lender for

AaA@ MANN DILL n ChOW 4.
The Richmond Meas Leader for
some time has been hammering AWAY
In opposition to the Mann bill, which
is now before the Legislature, aud
while conscientious in its efforts, we
believe the imagination and thought
OF the writer is very much influenced
by his personal wishes in the matter,
and consequently his argument seems
to be all one way. We may be in
fiuenced just as much in the oppo-
site direction as the News' writer
and fall subject to the same charge.
We suppose we would have to sac
knowledge the corn"
In Mondays paper the editor of
the Nstcs- Leader has nearly COL
umn article to show that local option
had no bearing upon reducing or in
creasing crime throughout our State,
citing the recordso of our State peniten-
tiary for the five years during which
half the State has been under local
option, and also making comparisons
OF prohibition States with that of
ours, somewhat to the detriment of
the prohibition States. We have not
the facts at hand, but we venture to
say that while the records of the
State penitentiary practically show
stand-of during the last five
years, the number of criminals
during almost any five years pre-
vlous to that period will show
gradual increase from year to
year. To make our argument good
we might turn back to the time the
penitentiary was instituted and see
that the number of criminals has
gradually increased Oh an average
from year to year. So that if for
the last five years the number has
been kept at standstill, when our
increase in population and the spread
OF civilization are considered, local
option, though only half in force
throughout the State, must be cred
tied with having checked the natu-
raj increase of crime. No one ever
before attributed Names stunted
growth to prohibition. Her resources
and advantages are exceedingly small,
and because other parts of the coun-
try offer much greater opportunities
to young men the State has been
depleted of progressive citizens.
Neither is it fair to make compare
son of crime in the Carolinas any
more than it would be to take Ken
lucky or certain portions of Texas.
The temperament of the people is
different, laws are different, and
their execution enforced or unen-
forced as it may be.
The CITIZEN has never advocated
prohibition and cannot say that it
desires to see this State a prohibi-
ton State, but we do wish to see
such law as the Mann bill become
operative and the democracy of tie
people given exemplification. We
know from actual experience that
local option has had a wonderful |
effect as a deterrent upon crime |
within our own county confines; and |
If here, why not elsewhere? In this
we speak from knowledge of the
facts and not from comparisons
where the cases are not parallel.

fact that even should the crop be

unusually large.

With regard to sugar 1t is diff
cult to make accurate conjecture.
The crop is late. although very
much improved by the late rains
and the indications are at present
fair. The Hymel.a crevasse and
one or two breaks on the La
fOurche caused several sugar
plantations in those. sections to
be put down in rice, and the dry
spring possibly had serious effect
upon the stand. 1t is probable
that the crop Will be fairly good,
much depending upon the weather
later OH and in the grinding sea-
son. The uncertainties of the
tariff regulations make the pros
pective price uncertain, although
it is more than probable that it
will be renumerative. But aside
from the crops the whole State is
on an industrial and commercial
boom, and even though all the
crops should fail, it would be
nothing like the disaster that such
an occurrence would have pro,
duced ten or even five years ago.
