One of the great evils that curse
the world is lntemperance. This is
an automatic proposition. Men will
drink whiskey no matter whether
they live in Kansas, Maine or South

is effective that goes beyond the
temper of the times and the sentl-

as rrtional to undertake to eradicate
any other evil by law as to cure a
depra,ed appetite of the thirst for
whiskey by the same remedy. In
either case the effort would be a
failure. You cannot legislate So
briefly into people any more than
you can morality. The saving grace
of the gospel is the only eAicacious
antidote for this md al malady.

GREELYVILLE GLINTS.
NeWSy Letter From our Busy
Writer.


Writer.
GRE5LYvILLE, July 81: We
have been blessed with several
good showers and the crops
look very much refreshed. If
there is a good crop made. our
merchants expect to do a big
business this fall. They are
getting in goods in larger lots
than ever before. They must
think people will have plenty
of time to sit down, by the
quantity of chairs bought-our
firm having bought ! solid car
load of chairs alone.
The picnic by the two Sunday
schools on alast Thursday was
quite success and was enjoyed
by old and young alike. The
rain caused the crowd to break
up sooner than it would
otherwise have done, but after
the rain was over there was a
game of ball between the local
nine and the married men in
which the old men were defeat
ed by a score of B to 20. The
best of humor prevailed and
both players and spectators en-
joyed the fun.
Nearly all of Greelyville
went to Corinth Sunday to hear
the Rev Mr. Bartha, an evan
gelist from',Virginia. 1t being the
fifth Sunday there was no preach
ing here.
Some mention was made in
this correspondence sometime
ago of Mr. Edwal d Spann's crop.
At that time ! had only seen his
crop from the public road. Since
then I have had the pleasure of
visiting Mr. Spann's place and
of going over his crop and |
must say it is the finest I have
seen anywhere. He shas forty
acres of cotton of the latest i'm
proved King and cluster vari-
eties from which he expects to
get fifty bales and 1 expect he
will get them. He also has
some young corn that with favor
able seasons will make forty to
fifty bushels to the acre and the
condition the whole crop is in
shows that Mr. Spann is a hust-
ler.
Messrs G E Hilton and R B
Hogan visited Charleston and
the Isle of Palms Monday.
The Rev Mr. Justus, pastor of
the Methodist church in Kings
tree, spent about two hours in
our town this morning. This
was his first visit and he seemed
very much pleased with what
he saw of Greelyyille.
Mr. W H Spratt of Foreston
was in Greelyville to-day.
Mr. NJ D DcLorme has secured
the services of young Mr. West
coat of Walterboro. He began
working N the store this morn
ing. We are always glad to well
come young men among us and
we hope his stay here will be
so pleasant aud profitable that
he cannot be induced to leave
us again.

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
Interesting Address by State Chemist
 of Georgia.

Interesting Address by State Chemist
 of Georgia.
 The afternoon session began with the reading of a paper by Professor F. H. McCandless, State Chemist of Georgia.
 Professor McCandless had as his subject the importance of actively en- forced legislation in the cane growing States.
 In beginning his address, Professor McCandless alluded to the policy of the United States in building tariff wall so high that no foreigner could climb 1t. But in looking so carefully after the interests of his manufacturers in keeping up the tariff wall Uncle Sam had failed to look after the agricul- tural interests and protect them from the overgrown and cruel boys, who had so lately been infant industries.
 Especially did Professor McCandless decry the adulteration of food stuffs. The tenor of Professor MeCandless' paper was the obliteration Of dishon- esty in trade. He would not say one
 against glucose as food. But it
 be manufactured and sold as
 se. He deplored the use of glu-
 as an adulterant for maple and
 se syrups. He deplored the uses of oleomargarine toF Fadulterate butter, of cotton seed meal to adulterate olive oil. He would not attack the manu- lecturers of glucose nor of cotton seed olive oil if he was convinced that 1t had added one cent to the price of corn or the price of cotton.
 The claims of the manufacturers of glucose that their industry helped the growers of corn and of the olive oil makers that their industry helps the growth of cotton were fallacious, he declared. The speaker denounced the criminal adulterants"
 Protection of the Stomach.
 A free trader all his life. he said he stood for one form of protection, the protection Of the stomach. To this work he was bending his every energy. He reviewed the work that had been
