CHESTER.

Lantern, January 2S: Sentiment in
this county now seems to be strong IN
favor of calling an election on the dis
pensary question at as early date as
practicable, unless the legislature
takes some action that will make 1t
unnecessary. Many persons who for
merly favored the dispensary now
say, in view Of recent developments,
that liquor seems to corrupt every
body that touches it, and they are
ready now to wipe it out as far as
possible. Blind tigers might be active,
but that touches only disreputable
class, and the business, when under
the ban, would not be so corrupting.

LANCAST Err.

News, January %: A peculiarly sad
death occurred this week at the
home here of Clerk of the Court
Joseph F. Gregory. At ten o'clock
Monday night his youngest laughter,
Hortense the idol Of the household,
breathed her last, after a few days
painful illness. A pupil Of the graded
school, she returned home from school
last Tuesday afternoon, bright and
cheerful as was her wont, and appar-
emily in the enjoyment of her usual
fair health, but during the night she
was taken suddenly i'll, her ailment
developing in a day or two into
pneumonia, which proved fatal, as
stated. .....At the recent meeting IN
Columbia of the State Farmers Union,
Mr.. w. P. Caskey, Lancaster's gigantic
magistrate, was elected a state officer,
that of sergeant-at-arms. His name
was no doubt inadvertently omitted
from the published list Of the officers.
..... Mrs. Ruth Plyer, who was one
Of the oldest persons IN the county,
died last Friday at the home Of her
kinsman, Mr.. Rance Plyler, in the New
Cut section. Had she lived until the
7th of next month she would have been
81 years old She is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Emiline McManus. The
remains were buried at Bethel Satur-
day morning at IL o'clock. Mr..
David Knight, of Chesterfield county,
died in the Rock Hill hospital Sunday
afternoon. He was taken to the hos
pital last week and operated on for
appendicitis. His condition was so
critical when he reached the hospital
that but little hope was entertained for
his recovery. The body was on board

To the Republican voters of Grant
County:
AS 1t is absolutely necessary for
me to be absent most of the time be-
fore the June primaries, l wish to say
that l appreciate what the voters of
Grant county have done for me in the
past. / served the people of Grant
county in the legislature faithfully to
the best OF my judgment, and trust
that my record will merit your sup
port again at the republican primary
next June. l will not be able to see
you all personally, but shall appre-
ciate any favor done by you to secure
my nomination. Respectfully,

Now that the election is past,
let US try and get settled down
20 that we may be able to calmly
discuss the "Merry Widow
peril.

WHILE the vote last Tuesday
was to q certain extent a disap-
pointment to the no license ad-
yocates, it was far from being 50
sweeping q victory for the saloon
. to place Milbank in the wet
column for any certainty in the
future. A vigorous campaign
had been made by the anti. saloon
people of the city and they in
creased their vote by % from a
year ago, but the other fellows
had increased at the same time,
and with the larger vote the
license advocates had a majority
Of "a instead of 10 as at the pre-.
vious election.
After an election has been lost
and won there are always those
who can tell how it was done and
what caused the result. We
don't propose to indulge in this
part of the program. The fact
Is that the majority of the voters
in Milbank are not yet satisfied
that the saloon is an evil which
the municipality can get along
without. There are a good many
honest men who look upon i. as q
necessary evil. Until such time
as these can be made to see the
matter in q different light, we
are pretty sure to have the in
stitution with US. However, the
matter is now settled for another
year, anc the vexed question can
rest for some time. It will be-
fore MANY years be settled per-
manently and be settled right.

PREMIUM ON soBRIETY.
German Factory Rewards Employees
Who Do Not Drink.

VINO 10 Not OrtNk.
The following item from Soziale
Praxis, a prominent German periodical
devoted to the social and industrial
welfare of the empire, Is Of special in
terest as showing the progress in Ger
many of the sentiment In favor of to
tai abstinence from a purely Industrial
standpoint. 1t may we'll be noted that
the employees referred to are engaged
In the most e~Xhausting occupations. in
connection with which the assertion is
frequently made that The use of beer
Is a necessity, inasmuch as 1t would be
impossible for the workmen to drink
water in sufficient amounts to make up
for the loss by the profuse p%erspiration
caused by the labor and by the heat of
the furnaces.
A translation of the item follows:
"The directors of the Rochling Iron
and Steel works In Volklingen, on the
Saar, have determined on a system of
premiums to be paid to abstinent
workmen. A notice from the directors
informs the employees that those
workmen. including workmen employ
ed about the furnaces, who abstain
entirely from the use of alcohol are OF
greater efficiency than those who in
dulge therein. We have therefore Ge
termined to offer to each employee
who maintains a membership in Il
lodge of Good TempIars for more than
one year premiums at the following
rates: Each workman who retains a
membership of n year shall receive
a premium of 10 marks ($2.3S) per
quarter; those who are members for
two years shall receive an increase Of
8 marks &1.19) per quarter-i. e., Is
marks $3.50 per quarter. For each
succeeding year of membership a like
addition of 5 marks is to be made to
the quarterly premium"
Obviously these directors think that
q sober working force is a desirable
acquisition and are willing tc pay o
considerable added sum to secure 1t.

The Cost Of Drink.

rye, oats, barley. buckwheat and pota-

The liquor trafac costs more each year
than our whole civil service, our army,
