The Tools OF Genius.

Some Of the greatest discoveries In
physics and chemistry have been made
with the simplest forms of apparatus
and under the most modest conditions
Of laboratory equipment. One need only
recall the achievements Of the famous
John Dalton and in later time Of Sir
Gabriel Stokes to illustrate the point.
AS regards the latter, comment Of
Lord Rayleigh is Of interest Stokes
perin1ental work, he says, was exc
cuted with the most modest appliances.

his house, into the window of which he
had q shutter fixed with slit In It and

The leading novelette, which ap-
pears complete in LIPPINcoTr's
MAGAZINE for June is the newest &,
and perhaps the brightest, of all the
sea stories by the Rev Cy.us Town
send Brady. 1t is noteworthy that
Mr. Brady is just reentering the min
istry, which he left several years
ago for the pursuit of literature.
This, there ore, is probably the last
tale We shall have from him for
years to come. 1t reciteS the romance
of fighting Lieutenant f the Civil
War and a Southern girl who could
almost discount him IN bravery.
Their adventures terminating in che
right kind of match, are varied
through all the episodes of a sea-
fight, Imprisonment, and escape; and
they are enveloped in the picturesque
local color which Mr. Brady never
fails of creating.

READY FOR A CHANGE.
Hon. ]. Davis Carter Believes that the
DiSpensdry Should Go.

Editor County Record: | have
been for number of years waiting
patiently for time when the senti-
ment of our people woulo be suffici-
emily strong TO demand and carry
into effect prohibitory law against
the sale of spirituous liquors; hence
/ have been a believer in the dis
pensary law, thinking and believing
it to be a step in the right direction
to bring about the desired end. But,
after 13 years trial, l am convinced
that its usefalness as such has passed.
After careful survey of the field |
find that the towns are now backing
and favoring the. dispensary on ac-
connt of the revenue that it brings
into the treasury, and | admit that
from money standpoint it is a
profitable business, but to the cOun-
try it IS not. We have no officers
of the law to keep things quiet and
YOU will find that most of the crimes
committed from drinking are done
in the country where there is no
protection.
Now, from IA business stand
point. let us view the dispensary
system. Does it bring more busi-
ness into the town? | think not.
Seven -tenths of the money spent for
whiskey should and woald be spent
for family necesarles if the tempta-
ton was out of the way. And the
same rule will apply to the country;
therefore, from business stand
point, | fail to see where we are ben
efted by the sale Of whiskey, to say
nothing of the moral side of the
question.
Now as to the management-are
the people of South Carolina salts
fled with the management IF this
great moral and political institution?
( say no; and without general
.shaking-d and Strengthening out
and bracing up, it will fall to pieces
of it's own rottenness. County after
county is now voting out the dis
pensary; when are the people of
old Williamsburg ready to fall in
.line? I for one am now ready.
Very respectfully yours,
J DAVIS CARTER.
