Why, is this, II dry farming is be-

over a period of years? The cost Of
irrigation water is the heaviest ex-
pense farmer has. He could afford
to accept much smaller crop if he
could raise it. without irrigation, but
down in his heart he feels that he is
betting upon what providence may
do, and would rather depend upon

In speaking of the amount of whis-
ley that is being shipped into the dry
townofEdgeield, the Edgefield News
says: tItseems that no power in
the land can head off Or destroy a
blind tiger We beg to differ with
onr contemporary. If the city faith
1ers' of Edgefeld, the sheriff and mag
istrstes of the county will do their
dnty, as they r supposed:to do, the
blind tigers can be stopped in Edge
field. Get in behind your officers and
they will soon make it too hot for the
blind tigers. If man thinks that he
can run q blind tiger in the town of
Lexington he is mistaken. Sheriff
Corley would ha Ve him before many
days. We will admit, however, that
there are not many Sheriff Corley's

To-day the citizens Of Sandy Run
wiz consider the proposition of cut
ting off that township from Licking
ton and joining the st. Matthews
county proposition. They VIII make
q tremendous mistake if they should
listen to the beautiful pictured posi-
bilities Of those advocates working
the scheme to better themselves at
the expense of those out in the rural
country, whose products on the farm
win;not Be increased at all, while the
expenses Of running a small, new
county government, which common
d and fair reasoning sunquestion-
ABLY show to be a fact. that taxes
must, therefore, be heavier to meet
the legitimate county expenses which
are sure TO follow. We trust that the
better Judgment Of these citizens will
prevail at to-day's meeting, and espe-
cialIy should a vote eve be reached,
that they viii forever bury such a
scheme.
We must admit, however, that the
people Of this section have been neg
lected by our county commissioners
IN not providing them with a good,
direct, substantial public road to
Lexington court house. The Dispatch
has for many years advocated good
roads through this country. but only
secured promises. We are sure, with
decent roads and proper recognition,
these people would never have
thought of leaving Lexington. Now
sweuld it not be far better to give
themthis convenience to their county
~sseat.Shan tolose this section forever
with her good citizenship, people,
whom we regard as true and valuable
to the county?

ticketed and checked, herded and
guarded. Eighteen missionaries, In
GLIDING four old men, who were intl'
mates of Brigham Young, were In
charge of the party.
Avoiding New York the Mormon
agents have found It possible to land
shipload after shipload Of their foreign
recruits at this port without attract
ing pubic attention. No fewer than
IL steamships have come in since
January last, bearing parties of new
Mormons. The record show 1900 ar
rivals in seven months
immigration officials say that of all
the newcomers to American shores
few are SO well supplied with money
few SO ignorant of the world and its
deceits as the Mormon converts and
few 80 cunning as their attendants,
Several of the girls shipped West had
savings of hundreds of dollars with
them. One had legacy from a dead
father-about $500; another the pro
ceeds of the sale of small farm.
OF ten questioned at the landing
bureau only two had any definite idea
where Utah was. Their ideas of Nor
monism and OF polygamy were vague.
In their simplicity three united in say
ing;

everyone is good and all are happy"
