Saturday to attend the meeting

hUnlNOh hao
Editor County Record:-Will
YOU permit me small space to
comment upon your editorial of
September in regard to this Pro-
hibition move?
Twill take up the subject as
as Shackelford prayed, "hither
and yam "
First, in regards to a mans
being a hypocrite who drinks
LIQUOR and wants prohibition.
You say that the self.righteous
are poorly qualified to adjudge
the latter guilty of hypocrisy
for trying to rid himself Of the
bonds that enslave him. Now
this argument reduces it to a
personal matter. We have Scrip
tnre on that subject. Perhaps
YOU will remember-and if your
memory is short you can refresh
it by reading the 10th chapter
of Luke. Dives was in HI and
Lazarus was in heaven. and
conversation occurred between
Abraham, who also was in heaV-
en-, and Dives. Dives being re-
fused water. then asked Abra-
ham to send Lazarus to warn
his brothers; but Abraham said,
"You have Moses and the proph-
cts, hear them" But Dives
said, eff one went from the
dead they will repent But
Abraham said, eff they hear
not Moses and the propets Meth.
er will they be persuaded though
one rose from the dead" Now,
Brother Wolfe, you have got
YOUR man in the hell of drink.
He has the pre- ch ers. the
churches, and perhaps a wife
imploring him to quit, and yet
he does not. Now you propose
to bring up the dead, for well
YOU know that prohibition is
merely a ghost, has no life, no
being, no existence except in
the minds of sincere fanatics.
You yourself say in this same
editorial that unless supported
I, by public sentiment it will be
a failure. Now, if these drunk
ards have disregarded the pray
ers and exhortations OF those
afound them, what assurance
that they will not send to North
Carolina and get all the whiskey
they want. So you see, Brother
Wolfe, you are weak on that
point.
You also state that if Will
liamsburg county Is not sincere
in this movement, they need bl-
bles and missionaries. Now,
Friend lfe, Williamsburg
county is the peer of any coun-
ty in South Carolina. But you
have hit the nail on the head,
bibles and missionaries will ac'
complish more good than pro-
hibition. Let the missionaries
go to the home of the drunkard,
pray with him, talk with him
and do as much for him indi-
Viduaily as they are now doing
politically for prohibition and
good results will follow. But
if the missionaries content
themselves with preaching a
sermon or two on the evil effects
of liquor from their pulpits,
they will fail. Let them make
the same effort with the indi-
vidual that they are making to
shift upon the State what is
their duty, by getting prohibi-
tion and liquor will not be such
a bug bear
You state that twelve years
with the dispensary has proven
retrograde movement as to-
wards prohibition. What sta
tistics can YOU produce for such
an assertion? 1t is evident that,
taking the dispensary sales as
evidence, much less liquor is
sold in South Carolina than un-
der the bar-room regime. But
you may say you have no state

TIGERS A PUBLIC MENACE.
People and Stock Are Killed by Saw age Beasts in Mexican
 Territory.

Tigers. driven from their mountain lairs in the territory of Topic by the scarcity of food. continue to ravage the haciendas of the valleys. They are be- coming such . general danger, says the Mexican Herald, that the municipal au- thorities have offered . reward of $10 for every tigers skin.
 For the past several months great numbers of the animals have swarmed through the marshes of the lowlands along ths coast and in the valleys of the territory of Topic, having been driven out of the states of Sinaloa and Sonora by the floods and the extremely cold weather The damage caused to the haciendados and the danger in cured by the presence of the animals was such that many of them offered rewards for the skins of the animals some time ago.
 The tigers, however. seem to like the warm weather and the good food that they are getting in Topic and instead of decreasing their numbers have greatly increased within the last few weeks Now the municipal authorities of the territory have also offered reward for the skins of the animals.
 The tigers have become SO bold that they will enter the houses on the plan- tations and help themselves to what ever comes in their path Several deaths are reported In different parts of the territory. In many sections of tho state 1t is necessary to have armed guards stationed at night, to insure the safety of the other people in the settlements.
 Live stock fs suffering moro than anything else. With tho slight pro- visions that are necessary for the shel- ter of the stock. 1t leaves them in most cases without any protection It all from the, beasts. Even the presence of numerous guards around a bunch of cattle Is oftentimes insufficient to keen the tigers from getting away with an animal or two from along the edges of tho herd.
 Hunting for the animals has been greatly stimulated by the offers of the government and scores of hunters are securing the country for them. The number of the skins that have been turned in thus far is large and it is hoped that it will not be long before the animals are driven back to the seclusion of the mountains.

Pain.in the Head ......:..=

Is a danger signal, warning you that the brain nerves are exhausted-irritated, and are undergoing an unnatural strain.
 Frequent and prolonged at- tacks of pain weaken the gen. erative power of the nerve cells of the brain, and lead to loss of memory, melancholy, spasms, epilepsy, and frequent ly insanity.
 When the brain nerves are weakened they are unable to supply sufficient nerve force to the nerves that control the lungs, heart, stomach and /, other organs, and these organs are thus robbed of energy, and unable to. meet the demands upon them,and they get sick.
 Stop the head pains with Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills, and the influence upon your general health will be greater than you can realize.
 'I want to tell you how thankful am for Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.

You arc awakened in tho bitter dark ness of the carly morning by tho sound of tho camp dogs moving among tho frozen pails of refuse.

Then you hear the sound of chopping wood whore some ono is at work in the starlight. says the Boston Globe One of the men stirs and rises in the darkness. The tent is bitter cold, with everything frozen as hard as iron. You hear the man fumbling around in the darkness for the matches. and presently he strikes one and lights . candle.
 Presently he begins chopping tho wood Tor the stove, and his biz. round shadow moves unoouthly and gro- tesqusly about tho walls as the flame of tho candle wavers in the draught of cold air.

Lake Tahoe.

One of the most beautiful lakes in the world lies in the heart of the Sierras on "The Overland Route," 6,220 feet above the sea level, and is completely hemmed in by mountain walls, whose rugged peaks rise in many places to an additional height of from 2,00O to 4,000 feet. It is twenty three miles wide and from 100 to 2,000 feet deep. The entire re- zion surrounding the lake is pie turesque almost beyond descrip- tion, and a never-ending delight to the eye. This region is reached only over the Union Pacific and it's connections, the fast trains ria this route reach California many hours ahead of all com petitors. Inquire of
