AFTER THE ADVOCATE.

Many of the local Methodists have
been very much incensed at the at
titude of the Southern Christian Advo-
cate toward the issues Of the campaign
lust closed. The Methodist church has
put itself on record against the state
dispensary as an incubator Of corrup-
ton, and the state dispensary being
the issue of this campaign 1t is quite
natural that loyal Methodists should
be on the side of Mr.. Ansel as against
Mr.. Manning, especially in view Of the
clearness of the issue between them.
But when the Advocate undertakes to
claim that the dispensary should be
retained as it is under state control,
II clearly puts itself on the side of Mr..
Manning, and that is where the shoe
pinches
Drs. Stokes and Weber of Yorkville,
got after Mr.. c. S. Nettles, the editor
of the Advocate, through correspond
ence a few days ago; but Mr.. Nettles,
evidently bent on running the politics
of the Advocate to suit his own partic-
ular views, instead Of the views OF
the Methodist church, according to the
Interpretation Of Drs. Stokes and Web
er, denied these gentlemen a hearing
in it's columns. Not to be outdone,
Drs. Stokes and Weber went into the
columns of the Columbia State, that
paper of last Saturday publishing

To the Editor of The State:
An open letter to the editor of the
Southern Christian Advocate:
Quite recently DR.. s. A. Weber and
I protested as vigorously as we knew
how against certain utterances of
yours in the Advocate, touching the
present dispensary issue. To this pro-
test you replied in a manner altogether
to US. I then addressed
you another article entitled "A Fur

There are pretty general complaints
that the cotton crop promises to be at
least 25 per cent short. There Is no
question of the fact that cotton is
opening rapidly and that the top crop
will be light.
As the result of the report Of the
bureau of statistics Of the agricultural
department yesterday cotton went up
20 points, and the ginners report is
sued short time afterward caused a
decline of 10 points. The net gain of
the day was 10 points.
Mr.. G. r. Mcdaniel of Filbert show
ed at this office last Saturday quite an
interesting relic of by-gone days In the
shape Of Councillor Philips Eulogy on
George Washington, printed on cream
colored silk. The printing was done
by P. Carey, Yorkville, In September,
1889. Mr.. Mcdonald found the relic
among old family papers.
There is q steadily growing senti-
ment throughout this country In favor
of the repeal Of the lien law. Many
people think that such repeal will ap-
preciably affect the renting system to
the advantage Of the cropping system.
1t will make labor more easily controll-
able, and rebound to the benefit OF
lands that are now being ruined by
careless, short sighted treatment AS
we see 1t there is very little use for
the lien law now; but no probability
of its early repeal. It's repeal probably
would have but little effect on eco
nomic conditions.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

: Yorkville is badly in need Of q
sewerage system.
The cotton mills are said to be
making money right along now.
= Messrs. Carroll Bros, are erecting
a large warehouse to the rear Of the
store.
=. The warehouse men are calcu-
lating on storing a considerable guam
tity of cotton this fall.
-. Practical use of Yorkville's elec-
trio power advantages would be Of
very great benefit to the community.
= The o'clock closing rule has ex-
pired by Limitation. The stores now
keep open until they get reedy 70
close.
There are number Of cases Of
dirhtheria in Yorkville; but the anti
toxin treatment is invariably proving
eficacious.
Cotton receipts have not yet be-
gun to reach a very considerable
volume; but the buyers expect to be
busy within a week OF two.
= Work on Mr.. B. N. Moore's build
ing, which has been delayed BY rea-
son of unfavorable weather, is now
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. r. ]. Herndon is making ar
rangements to build on the ruins Of
the old Parish hotel but has not yet
decided as TO- exactly what kind Of
q building he will put up.
= The stream Of commercial travel
ers which grew noticeably less during
July and August, Is now picking up
again, and the outlook is that 1t will
be greater this fall than In quite q
while.
:. - There have been number Of cases
of diphthe-ia in town within the past
few days. one at Mr.. ]. s. Brice's. one
at Mr. ]. l.. Sanders's and two at Mr.
E. G. Sandifer's. Other cases have
been reported. Because Of the diph-
iberia outbreak, the opening OF the
Graded school which was advertised
for yesterday was postponed until a
later date.
= Although not entirely unknown
the sight Of drunken man on the
streets of Yorkville Is rare. Good
order prevails quite generally. 1t is
SO on public days as well as other
days. People who know say that
there is very little blind tiger liquor
being sold. A well-informed indf-
vidual told the reporter a few days
ago that there are only about eight
tigers at work in town. He named
them all, and said that II called upon
to do so he could convict them all.
But they are all quite scary, he said,
and not one Of them can be depended
upon to furnish liquor when wanted.
They are all negroes and most Of
them are heavy drinkers. They or
der supplies by express and sell
enough to about double the first cost
to replenish their stocks. In other
words, most Of them drink about as
much as they sell. There are a num-
ber Of negroes who dodge into York
Vile, on Saturday night from Sharon,
Tirzah, Glover and other nearby
points with jugs Of liquor gotten by
express, retail 1t out and leave; but
no one Of them sticks at the business
long enough to establish himself.
Regular drinkers of liquor get their
supplies by express; but this being
the hot season the express receipts
are smaller than at other seasons.
There is reason to believe that the
consumption is less than a fourth OF
what it was in the days Of the dis
pensary, and while most Of the whis-
Ky that is being consumed now is Of
a very low grade 1t is perhaps as
good as the average that was dealt
out by the dispensary.

that they don't want anything else.
He is now preparing to buy carload.
The Yorkville Banking and Mercan-
tile company handles the Chattanooga

course, we are willing to put the Vul-
can against any turn plow made.
Messrs. Glenn & Allison are hand
ling the Chattanooga reversible disc
plow, two and three horse. They do
not sell what they call walking plows
any more-nothing but the reversible
disc. Mr.. Allison is a good talker on
the merits OF the reversible disc and
has but little difficulty In getting his
prospective customer interested. His
| firm had sold carload up to few
weeks ago. and now has a new carload
Just In. I'VE have several customers
who are each using two OF these
plows," said Mr.. Allison, "and one, Mr..
C. C. Hughes. Is using four. We have
three on our own plantation"
The York Supply company is selling
the Sanders disc plow. They have on
Ily been In the business but a short
time and as yet have gotten but a few
customers interested in this particular
plcw. They have sold several, how
ever, and consider that the prospects
are good. This plow Is made In two
patterns, single and double discs. TIE
single discs call for two horses and the
double discs for three. Mr.. ]. M. Stair
claims lightness Of draught and cheap-
ness as the principal advantages over
other disc plows.
Buggy company, sells the Syracuse
turn plow, and claims 1t to be one pf
the best on the market. He has been
selling ii for several years and says II
has never failed TO give satisfaction.
He notes that whenever one goes into
a neighborhood 1t Is quickly followed
by others, and he sees no reasonable
limit to future sales. Speaking OF the
/ demand in this county for improved
agricultural implements, Mr.. Willis
around here for being so Tar behind
Barnwell farmers were using four I'M
proved plows to our one; but since
then we have gained upon them to
such an extent that we are leading
Fthem away yonder However. the
Barnwell farmers are still ahead OF us
on the fertilizer question. Many OF
them use as much as a thousand
pounds to the acre on their entire
farms, while In spots ton to the acre

The immigration Question.

In securing the consent Of the North
German Lloyd steamship company to
send an immigrant liner to Charleston,
Commission Watson has broken the
ice in what may prove to be matter
of tremendous consequence; but the
people of the state may as well under
stand from the beginning that IL they
are to derive any benefit from this en-
terprise it will not be without a
great deal of intelligent labor on their
own part.
It is indeed pleasant to think of the
establishment of Castle Garden at
Charleston, receiving thousands Of i'm
migrants every year for distribution
throughout the South Atlantic and Gulf
states, with South Carolina selecting
and appropriating the cream of the new
arrivals for herself; but then those who
realize the tremendous advantage that
is to be gained from such a situation
also appreciate the fact that the bene-
fits implied are not to be enjoyed by
reople who sit with folded hands.
In the first place 1t must be recog-
nized that the North German Lloyd's
people are out for business. They are
not going to run line of ships to
Charleston unless they can bring pay
ing cargoes in addition to crowds Of
steerage passengers, and they are not
going to undertake to maintain such a
line unless in addition to bringing car
goes to this country they have some
thing to take back to Germany or else
where.
Under the immigration laws as they
now obtain in this country, there is re-
quired strict examination of every
immigrant seeking admission into
America. Facilities have been estab-
lished for such examinations at New
York and other northern points, and
while the authorities are not going to
say such thing openly still they are
not going to do much to encourage the
development of another port for the
entry of immigrants in the south. The
stream of immigration has long been
fixed in channels looking to the west
and northwest, and powerful influences
will be exerted to continue 1t in that
direction.
But this Is not yet all. The people
of South Carolina though badly in need
of good class of German immigrants,
are not prepared to receive them or
take care of them. If as many as one
thousand immigrants should come to
this state within the next few months,
1t would be weeks and weeks, before
they were provided with satisfactory
homes, this Notwithstanding the fact
that with intelligent effort properly d..
rected as many as fifty or one hundred
thousand immigrants ought to be alb
sorbed in this state without difficulty
within a few months.
Just what Is necessary to provide
cargoes for the Lloyd ships we do not
know, and neither do we know about
Charleston's capacity to do what may
be required of her. The Charleston
people will no doubt be able to solve
that problem. They can say now
whether or not it is possible for them
to meet the requirements Of the situa-
ton, and If 1t is possible, we believe
they Will attend to the matter. E.
In the meantime, however, the whole
state should give this subject careful
consideration, and every effort should
be made to back Mr. Watson up in the
undertaking that he has so auspiciously
commenced.

iect for sermons during the past few
days.

that after all Mr. Roosevelt may be the

quite right Mr.. Roosevelt is very
probably honest in his intention not to
be a nominee again, but he continues
to fill the eye Of the Republican party
to such an extent that as yet there has
been but little room for anyone else.
This condition will probably continue.

To the Editor Of The State:
Both the candidates for governor
are good men. OF the eight candidates
none was any better. We now desire
to know how they stand on prohibi-
ton. We do not wish the Rrice law
repealed. We do not wish any bar
rooms established in the state. Will
they declare, before the election, that
II elected governor they will veto any
bills to repeal the Brice law or to put
the sale Of liquors In private hands?'
The above is quoted from the edi-
torial department Of the Southern
Christian Advocate Of Sept, 9. That
papers next issue will reach Its sub
scribers the day after, the election, 30
the candidates for governor will not
be able TO answer the Advocates ques-
ton In time to serve , the Advopate's
purposes unless they do so through a
secular daily paper And this they are
not likely to do. Why then ask the
question at all?
In the meantime, let me Insist (and
everybody knows IT. that there Is a
distinct issue In the pending campaign
-an issue that has been proclaimed
and emphasized In the campaign meet
ings from the mountains TO The sea.
Let not our attention be diverted from
this issue. On the other hand, let
us stick to the pending issue, and let
US praying people vote as we pray!
