COCAINE.

Within recent years the cocaine
habit among negroes has grown to be
great evil in Charlotte and many
other Southern cities. The negro who
takes cocaine becomes temporarily
crazed and there is no crime which
he will not commit or attempt when
under its influence. Policemen dread
him as they dread nothing else, for he
has both a maniac's strength and a
maniac's fury. In Charlotte are
Joints where cocaine tiends hold perl
odical orgies; these places, filled with
crazy demons, bear little resemblance
to the dreamy atmosphere Of Chinese
opium joints. Opium or its derlva-
tives-morphine, heroin, etc.-would
from the standpoint Of society be far
preferable. TO procure cocaine the
habitue will undertake any crime;
and since he is or soon becomes,
worthless as worker, crimes and
shiftv expedients constitute almost
his only resource. The police know
we'll that the FREQ lent purse-snatch-
ings on Charlotte streets are attrlbu-
table to cocaine fends. They know,
too, that crimes Of violence in the
community rise mainly from this
same cause. Thus the cocaine negro
commits crime to supply himself with
his drug and is most dangerous
criminal when supplied. Continued
spread of the habit threatens the ne
gro population. and the white South
in its relation to the negro popula-
ton, with a menace unmlstakably
erave.-Charlotte Observer.
We don't know how true it is, but
we have heard that a good deal Of the
cheap whiskey being sold in various
sections to negroes, and possibly to
some others, by blind tigers, Is dosed
with cocaine to give the desired effect
after it has been freely diluted with
water in order to increase the guam
titv and make the profit more.
The cocaine habit is dangerous, and
every means should be taken to pre-
vent its spread.
We have very strenuous law in
this State regulating the handling of
cocaine, but it is none too strenuous
and ought to be strictly enforced.

THE ROADS ELECTION.

The approaching election in this
county on the question Of voting
bonds for the improvement of the
roads is being watched with interest
throughout the State. The Winns-
boro News and Herald of recent date
says:
When commenting on the work that
is being done in the counties ADA
cent to Fairfield last week, We over
looked the part Newberry is taking
for the betterment Of her roads.
Through an act Of the last session OF
the general assembly, the people OF
that county will on August 31st vote
on the proposition Of issuing $3OO,OoO
for road Improvement. Should this be
successfully carried through, this will
place that county right to the front
in the matter of road building. And
again we repeat that Fairfield must
not lag behind the procession: Good
roads are of the most vital concern
in the future progress of this county.

Softens the Water.

If more women only realized how
much easier it is to clean the clothes,
the dishes, the pots and pans, the
floors and everything else about the
house with soft water, they would
never think Of using any water for
cleaning without first softening it
with Lavadura.
Lavadura is the name of new
pure and harmless white powder,
which when sprinkled in water softens
it and greatly increases its cleansing
power. without harming the most DEL
icate fabrics. When Lavadura is
used the hands do not get red and
rough from washing the dishes, the
clothes. the floors, etc. Dirt and
grease disappear as if by magic, and
the dishes or clothes not only look
clean but smell sweet and pure-be-
cause Lavadura destroys odorS.
Put little Lavadura in the bath
and you II feel far more refreshed
the skin will be soft and white,
wholesome and beautiful. while for
shampooing the hair it proves a lux
urv indeed. It makes the hair soft
and fluffy and destroys dandrutf.
Notwithstanding its many valuable
uses. Lavadu:a is very Inexpensive. 1t
sells in drug and grocery stores IN
Sc and 10c packages-and little ac-
compliSfes great deal. Why not try
it?

the mud tax they are now paying IS
many times two mills.
| like to read "Talking 1t Over"
in the Augusta Chronicle, because l
like fellow who doesn't mind ex-
pressing his thoughts. Of course,
there are some people who don't think
at all-but | am not talking about
that now. T. D. NJ. in "Talking 1t
Over is kicking about sweeping the
streets in Augusta at an early hour
in the evening. He says:
Sweeping the streets-Broad street
at an early hour in the evening is
mistake. In other cities the princl-
pal business streets are not swept at
an early hour. This is particularly
true of streets where there are num-
ber Of residences over the business
houses. To sweep Broad street be-
fore midnight on Saturday night, for
instance, is an Inconvenience and an
noyance to business men and pedes
trians which should not be inflicted.
The Idler was giving a little friend
ly advice about the same thing in
Newberry some time ago, but I have
not seen any Of it here very lately,
and I hope We have improved. Of
course the sidewalks ought to be kept
clean, but the cleaning ought to be
done in a cleanly manner.
No doubt the horses and COWS in
Newberry were glad to see the heavy
rain on Tuesday morning, because it
makes the grass on the sidewalks
grow, and some Of the sidewalks in
Newberry are furnishing pasturage
for good many COWS and horses. The
Idler knows Of one stretch of side
walk in a populous residence section
Of the city where there is nothing
left Of the walkway except a little
path. Possibly this sidewalk would
be in better shape if there were more
horses and COWS in that section.
But Supervisor Wicker has done
some fine work in a number Of places.
His great trouble is that he hasn't
enough hands under his control to do
! effective work. He starts piece of
work and before he finishes it as he
would like to do, he is called some
where else, and before he gets back
to the piece of work which he has
started, what he has done Of the un-
finished work has got in bad shape
and he has to do lots Of it over again.
1t strikes me the town ought to put
more work on its sidewalks and
streets, just as the county ought to
do some permanent work on its roads.
The Idler, though, didn't start out
to make a kick, and hasn't done so,
and I hope nobody will think I am
kicking. Maybe haven't got any
right to kick, and for that reason l
never do so.
I regret very much that I did not
attend the performance by the Cita-
tie waste basket, you'll be hat bye
house on Tuesday night. They tell me
it was a good, clean minstrel show,
and then they sang one song that l
would have liked to have heard. 1t
was something about don't cry, lit
tie waste basket, you'll be hat by
and bye. Those who were there Will
possibly remember the song | am
talking about.
