The compilation of the seasons batting
averages in both the major leagues pre-
sented herewith shows Cobb of Detroit
to be the leading hitter of the fence
slammers, he having wrested the honors
from Wagner of the Pittsburgs during
the last week of the season. In long hits
however, Wagner holds the vantage with
seventy-seven extra bases, as against
seventy-three for Cobb. In stolen bases.
also, Honus excels by sixty-two to fifty
six, but Cobb has a lead of one in num-
Der of runs record In the American
league Crawford and Jones. both of the
Detrolts, are the champion run-getters,
the former having 102 to his credit. the
latter 101 AS both lead Cobb in the
teams batting order, It is easy to see the
product of the latters great stick work.

Sad, indeed, it was to us to read in
your last issue of the death of Prof.
Dreher, one of the Oldest, If not the
Oldest teacher in the county. Hav-
ing known him from our boyhood, as
q teacher and citizen we have meyer
known him other than a high t6ne
Christian gentleman. While a astudent
of his at Newberry college, we found
him kind though very exact in his
teachings. One great object seemed
to overshadow all others in him, was
to have the students of his depart
ment excel the other departments in
the institution. This he did so well
that all received very high marks in
the final examinations. If there be
anything in us worthy the name of
scholar, we attribute a portion of it
to his untiring efforts to lead US.
His Christianity did not 60 with
him to church only, but it marked his
every day walk. In his writings for
his church paper, would be seen his
noble heart, pure and devoted to
the great upbuilding of his Christ's
Kingdom.
Since our last to your columns, we
have stood by the open grave and
there saw the manly form of
Hon. J. M. Epting, lowered
therein. Our tears mingled with
those of the hereaved ones who
were to pay their last sad rite to this
young man-young in years just en-
tered the portals of usefulness, but
fast forging his way up to the high
est plains thereof >.

Hook and Dent Wedding.

On last Tuesday evening, June 1S,
at five o'clock occurred one of the
most beautiful weddings of the season.
The contracting parties were Mr.. B.
Frank Dent, of Columbia, and Miss
Estelle Hook, of near New Brook
land. The marriage took place at
the pretty home of the brides father,
Mr.. G. G. Hook.
To the strains of mendelssohn's
wedding march, which was so beauti-
fully rendered by Miss Jean Finn,
the bride entered the parlor leaning
on the arm of the groom, where were
gathered a large number of friends
and relatives to witness the ceremony
performed by the BRIDES pastor, Rev.
A. S.eLesley. The decorations we're
very elaborate and beautiful. Sus-
pended from each corner to the
center of the parlor were large gar
lands of southern smylax, also sus-
pended from the ceiling was white
bell tied with large bows of white
satin ribbon, under which the bride
and groom stood. The mantle and
corners of the room were banked
with ferns, white roses and spruce.
After the ceremony the party assem-
bled into the dining room, where was
served delicious refreshments. The
color scheme was carried out, which
consisted of pink and green.
The bride was most beautifully
gowned in white silk net over white
taffeta, which made her a lovely and
charming bride. Her travelling suit
was silk champaign panama with hat,
gloves and slippers to match.
After spending a few hours with
friends the bride and groom left for
Jamestown, Washington and other
northern points amid shower OF rice
and old shoes.
After their return they will be at
home to their many friends at 1417
Taylor street, Columbia, S. G. 81.

read: whiskey is the best thing for
Brookland. Whiskey is q dangerous
th ing and this statement is absurd.
They also state that the real question
is whether or not the town of Brook
land should have the profits of the
whiskey money paid by the people OF
Brookland, but they are mistakened.
The real question: is this: How can
we control this dangerous thing called
whiskey and yet not interfere with
the rights of the people?
I notice that Mr.. Justice saye the
Carey-C Cothran law requires" the
Board to establish a dispensary where
ever they see fit. If this is true,
what a powerful argument this is
against the Carey Cothran law! Does
this law turn loose three men in each
dispensary county to establish dis
pensaries wherever they see fit? 1t
so, this law is extremely dangerous,
extremely unjust and should be chang
ed at the next meeting of the Legis-
lature.
can see no objection to Local
Option in the sense that it gives each
county the right to say whether or
not it will have the dispensaay, but
remember this is no solution of the
whiskey question. AS soon as a
county adopts the dispensary or pro
hibition it has a solution, but which
is the right solution. Some man will
say the dispensary, because people
will have whiskey and it is better to
give it to them. This conclusion is
not true. If I know that man is
going to kill himself, am not justi-
fed in giving him a gun to do the
work, even though can give him a
better gun than he has. So it is with
whiskey. Even though know that a
man will have whiskey, the law of
Justice will not allow me to place it
in his hands. If I do, I become a
partaker in his sin, because not only
consent to it which is wrong, but l
even assist him which is a greater
sin. So, then, no man can place
whiskey in his hands and be blame
less-no man can serve on a dlspen-
sary Board and be blameless- man
can establish dispensary anywhere
and be blameless. But [ deny the
premise; people will have whiskey.
The term people is general and ap-
plies to all without discrimination.
This makes the premise say, all peo-
pie, without discrimination, will have
whiskey, which is not true. find
large class of people who will not
have it. I find another class of people,
not so large, who are trying to over
come this dreadful whiskey habit.
These would like to get rid of it.
Then I find another class of people,
God pity them, who will 60 to great
inconvenience for whiskey. It may
be said these will have whiskey if
they can get it. So, then, prohibition
will prohibit to some extent and will
do so more and more when in force.
This I know from experience. Thus
we can find no solid ground upon
which to stand except prohibition,
and we believe it is practical to stand
upon this ground.
One who favors whatever is right.
