We regret that. the lengthy cor.
trover,y concerning Prohibition,
in this issue, has crowded out
much other matter that should
have appeared. We beg the in-
dulgence of our readers for this
week. II Mr.. Simkins desires to
continue the controversy our
limited spsce compels us to ask
him to con6ne his article to q
column.
Mrs. Emma q. Auld has return
ed after spending month very
pleasantly at Greenwood. Mr..
Fred Auld, who recently compile
lied the full mechanical and elec-
|trical course ct Clemson, accom-
panied Mrs. Auld to Edgefcld.
He has accepted lucrative posi-
tion with a large northern electri-
cal concern and will enter upon
his duties on the let of July.
Several gentlemen from the
country-leading, influential citi-.
zens-have voluntarily said to US
during l5e past week: I've could
not be present when the Citizens
League was formed, but We are in
hearty sympathy with the organi-
cation" When the intelligent
citizenship becomes enthused and
aroused uron given subject good
results are bound to folluw.

ted Misses Wright and Brum6eld

Edge6eld has no more energetic
or eEterprising citizen than Mr..
E. w. Samuel. When he takes
bold of anything he never let's up
until be succeeds. His latest ven-
ture is-a canning plant. Mr..
Samuel has ordered two Of the
most improved Gamers, and it is
his purpose to putup $4,000 cans
of tomatoes alone. He has two
acres Of tomatoes that are now
knee high. When not engaged
WITH his own vegetables. Mr..
Samuel will can for the public.
The express messenger OF the
Southern railroad remarked to US
a few days ago: that liquor had
been almost entirely shut out
from Edge6eld. Very little is
heing shipped in any shape or
form. Vigilance aud activity on
1.-The part of the Citizens League,
as we'll as those who are not mer
bers, will yet reduce the quaint
consumed. The one end to WI
every good citizen is working, or
should work, is the reduction of
the consumption of whiskey to a
minimum which will likewise
diminish the misery and crime
consequent upon its drinking.
