Especial box" resolution before
the county Democratic executive
committee Oh Saturday Hon. J.
William Tburmond took strong
and manly stand for prohibition
in our town and county. He stated
that he was an ardent advocate of
tho di,pensary and believes now
that it accomplished much good
in closing up the barrooms
throughout the state, but since
prohibition has been tried every
one is compelled to admit that
conditions have impr oved tre-
mendously. Mr.. Thurnoud stated
that in his Judgment not one
twenty-ffth as much whiskey is
sold now as was sold before pro-
hibition went into effect.
He stated further that farmer
who resides somc twelve miles
above Edgefe!d recently told him
of the very marked improvement
in the conditions upon his farm
since the legal sale of liquor was
abolished. Whereas formerly when
his tenants came to Edgefeld aud
purchased a supply of liquor from
the dispeusary he could scarcely
manage them, while now they
give him no trouble.

Legal and Illegal Sale of Liquor.
Some how or other the errone-
GUS impression prevails in The
minds of some persons that the
unlawful handling of whiskey
only exists in dry counties. Why,
bless your life, a big, full grown
liquor still was seized in Aiken
county last week while IN. opera
tion. Some folks claim that the
legal sale of liquor will "put
down" the illegal sale. If that be
true, how is it that a distillery
was found i'll Aiken? You can bet
your last dollar that those who
operated this Illicit distillery did
not give their "corn juice away
to their neighbors and friends.
Fbe only difference between
Aiken and Edgeheld is this: Al
ken has her dispensaries and
some blind tigers, and Edgefeld
has DO dispensaries and some
blind tigers. Edgefeld has elimi-
mated the greater evil entirely and
is reducing the lesser as public
sentiment against it increases.

rather rear your sons? 1t is easy

Map of Edgefield County.

While in conversation with
Prof. Jerome H. Courtney sever
al days ago, he informed US that
he is contemplating making a
map of Edge6eld county. There is
now no complets map of the coun-
ty in existence except the old,
out.of-date Bolss map which was
made in 1871. Since that date,
Aiken, Saluda and Greenwood
counties have been formed, which
not only reduced the area but
very materially changed the
boundary lines Of the old county.
There is great need for map of
Edgefeld county as it exists to-
day, giving the townships, public
roads, principal streams, location
of churches, principal school
house, country residences, towns,
railroads, etc. This is a gigantic
undert aking: but we know of no
one who :is better qualified for the
work than Prof. Courtney. Ge re-
ceived his technical straining at
the Citadel and has bad much
actual experience in surveying.
In fact, he assisted Mr.. W. H.
Nicholson iii making survey of
the entire boundary line of the
county several years ago, and has
the field notes of this survey now
in his possession, which would
very materially aid him in the
contemplated undertaking. We
trust that Prof. Courtney will
meet with sufficient encourage
ment to cause him to begin work
at once.
