W. c. Cooper and brother, b.
B. Cooper, miners Of the Thunder

who rode over one-hundred and
sixty miles in order to get to

convention held bv the democrats,
give out the following information
from that camp.
The town OF Roosevelt, which
is in the center of the district is
not totally destroyed as was re-
ported in this city last fall but is
enjoying a fair business. The
snow is just going off and many
supplies are being rushed in as a
consequence. OF course all sup
plies come in from the south over
the state wagon road which was
built in from Boise during the
boom days Of the camp. Access
from the way of Grangeville is
very difficult and only by pack
horse.
The famous Sunny Side mine.
of which 80 much has been said
and it's MERITS often discussed, is
going to operate this year with a
force of hundred men. Supplies
are being brought in and the
machinery is being gotten in shape.
The Venerable will be operated
this year by crew of twenty five
men. The H-Y, another good
property has shown some rich ore
during the year past and will start
up subject to the approval Of
Dean Smith of the geological de-
partment OF the Northwestern
University who is in the camp
preparing a report on it. The
property is owned bv eastern men.
The camp will be livelier this
year than it has for the past two.

King cotton is now reigning su-

Hon. G. G. Featherstone at sa-
luda.


Saluda, Aug. 23.-The Temperance
rally'' held here Friday under the
auspices Of the local w. @. T. .. was
a most pleasant occasion in every re-
spect. The exercises were held in old
Red Bank church, and the attend
ance, while not as large as expected,
was good.
The music, which consisted Of tenn
perance songs, accompanied as it was
by organ, violin and cornet, was
most pleasing feature.
The Rev. N. D. Bodie, Of the Lu-
theran Church, read from the Prov
erbs, and after making very practi-
cal talk in keeping with the occasion
presented Hon. G. G. Featherstone,
of Laurens. Many Saluda people re-
membered Mr.. Featherstone, and
hence be was not among strangers.
His address was one of the strongest
ever heard here, and has elected
much favorable comment.
He stated that for years those who
were opposed to the use of intoxi-
cants advocated temperance only, but
now, after seeing the only way to
treat the evil is to cut it out root and
brach, they are working for prohibi-
tion. He defed any man to show
where liquor ever elevated man or
made him better. 1t was question
of right and wrong. The moral phase
of the question could not be elimi-
mated, for it was matter that struck
deep in mans moral nature. He next
showed that prohibition laws could be
as well enforced as any other law.
No sane man would contend that a
prohibition law could be enforced per-
fectly no more than could any law
passed and enforced by finite minds
be. enforced perfectly.
The latter part of his address was
devoted to showing that those who
favored the sale of intoxicants did
not hesitate to work for men who rep
resented their views, while too many
church people were content with sing
ing and praying about it and going no
further. No man could refuse to do
his:duty as citizen in matters polit-
ical no more than he could fail to do
it in any other walk of life.
The statement 80 often heard that
Christian people had no business TAX
ing an active part in politics was a
fabrication of the devil and kept alive
by those whose political opinions on
certain issues were in contrast to the
opinions to those who desired to see
mankind elevated and bettered, and
who wished to see those things which
drag down driven from the State.
every Christian" said he, "should
be most active politician, for how
can you expect to see politics, which
it is claimed are so dirty, purified if
the Christian people of South Caro-
lima do not enter actively into them
and purify them?"
Many who heard the address make
the statement that his argument on
the whiskey question is simply un-
answerable.
