Rev. Quick Has Returned.

Rev. W. D. Quick has just returned
from three weeks visit to his old
home in North Carolina. He had not
visited the home of his childhood in
thirty years and indeed it was a very
pleasant visit. How about prohibi-
ton, The Dispatch man queried?
"Well, sir' said he, 81 have been in
four counties in North Carolina and
have conversed with many of the best
people in that state, and without a
single exception, they all favored
prohibition. In prohibition territory
the merchants are the most prosper
Gus. In towns where whiskey used
to be sold on every street corner,
prosperity reigns supreme" Contin-
uing, he said: II have never seen so
many changes; men who were in
moderate circumstances 80 years ago
are today well-to-do and own consid-
cradle property. The whole country
is in a prosperous condition, and it is
due largely to the fact that the people
have outlawed the sale of Whiskey,"
concluded Mr.. Quick.
While away Rev. Quick visited the
counties of Chesterfield, Marlboro and
KershaW in this state.

The Teachers Institute.

The Lexington County Summer, or
more properly, the Teachers lnstl-
tute, was opened here Monday, Aug.
10, at 10 a. m. The opening was very
encouraging; and the instructors are
much pleased at the outlook. About
80 teacher-pupils-mostly ladies'
were enrolled the first morning and
many more are expected this week.
The work will continue for two weeks,
at least, and it is probable that it will
run longer.
The exercises were opened with
songs, followed by prayer, by Rev.
w. H. Hitler. Rev! Hitler also made
strong, short address to the teach
ers. Superintendent of Education
Kyzer then made few remarks and
formerly turned the school over to
the faculty. Each member outlined
the work to be done in their depart
ments.
The faculty this year is stronger
than usual, and there is no reason
why the Institute should not be a
great benefit to the teachers and
would-be teachers.
Prof. E. R. Aycock is the principal,
and is teaching Principles OF reach
ing and Civil Government; Prof. w.
E. Black is the assistant, and has
charge of Mathematics and Business
Forms; Miss Elizabeth Dominick is
teaching drawing.

the ROAD THAT LEADS TO WEALTH
Dr.. Dreher Is Coming.

It will be of interest to the relatives
and friends of DR.. and Mrs. Julius D.
Dreher to know that they landed at
San Francisco from Tahiti, Society
Island, last Friday. They are now at
the home of Mrs. Dreher at Scranton,
Pa, but in few days DR.. Dreher
will leave for Washington, then for
Selwood, Lexington county, the home
of his mother. Later Mrs. Dreher
will follow him.
It will be recalled that DR.. Dreher
was appointed United States consul
to Tahiti two years ago. He has been
there in the service of the govern
ment ever since and this is his first
leave of absence.
Today Mr.. William G. Dreher and
family, consisting of Mrs: Dreher and
William Chase, their little son, will
land at New York from Berlin, Ger
many, where Mr.. Dreher is connect
ed with thesAssociated Press and is
the regular correspondent of several
important papers and magazines.
While Mrs. Dreher is on visit to her
people in Boston, Mr.. Dreher will
work in the Office of tthe Associated
Press for few weeks when his wife
will rejoin him and together they will
20 to Selwood. 1t has been five years

appropriations.
Mr.. Sharpe followed. He reviewed
his past record, and explained the
high appropriations as being due to
our advancement; and we can't afford
to recede. 1t isn't our place to 60
back; the government must be run
and it takes money to do it. He
claims that tt e real issue was the
question of ability on the part of the
candidates for the senate.
DR.. Crosson spoke next, and said
he is not making this run on the de-
merits of his opponents, but on his
own merits. He again ripped up the
state institutions.
The candidates for the House, and
the others who spoke, brought out
nothing new; and there's no use in
repeating the sayings of yesterday in
our skit of today.
Isn't it strange that our men are
not offering any practical solutions
for the many problems they are put
ting before u.s.?

Meeting at Swansea.

Swansea, Aug. 5.-Today was not
an official meeting, but an of-day be-
tween CASTOR and Pelion. However,
most of the candidates were on hand,
and you couldn't tell the difference.
Swansea is growing town-and
that's no mistake. Since we were

commodious hotel has been erected.
There are signs of life on all sides
and, being backed by very fine
farming country, the town is assured
of good, healthy growth.
According to an alternating ar
rangement, Mr.. Graham spoke first
today. He said that in view of the
tremendous indebtedness Of the state,
the government should be run on a
business-like basis. He again voiced
his sentiments against extravagant
