$50 FOR A FEW WORDS.

State fair wants a "slogan" and an
novel contest to get it.
The state fair needs "slogan " and
has put up $50 to pay for the necessary
four or five words. This is going to be
a contest that reaches and interests ev-
cry man, woman and child in Tonnes
see.
What is wanted is a short motto that
means something and will make folks
sit up and take notice.
"Kill the grade bull" is the slogan
of the Tennessee Dairy Association,
and it's good one.
For the purpose of getting all the
people of Tennessee interested the state
fair management has deposited with
the treasurer $50 and invites everybody
in Tennessee to send in the phrases
that they think are best suited to thu
purpose.
There is no entrance fee and eacf

gestions as he or she may wish.
The simple rules of the contest follow:
All entries must be made before noon
April 15
One copy must be mailed to J. w.
Russwurm, secretary of the Tennessee
State Fair Association, Nashville. This
copy must be on post card and must
not bear the contestants name on eth
er side of the card.
Another card must be mailed to Geo.
II. HOLE, treasurer of the Tennessee
State Fair Association, and this must
be signed and must bear the name of
the contestant,
This is all that is necessary.
AS Mr.. Russwurm receives the cards
addressed to him he will give each a
number and hold them until April 10.
Then the executive committee of the
Fair Association will select the best
slogan and will get from Mr.. HOLE the

that phrase.
Thus there can be no chance of favor
itism, and everybody has fair chance
at the $50.
Not only will the man or woman, OF
boy or girl, who sends in the best slo-
gan get the $50, but he or she will also
have the satisfaction of seeing the win.
ming phrase used on every piece of lit
erature the state fair sends out.
The people in this town and county
have their share of intelligence anC
originality-why shouldn't this money
come to Washington?
AS soon as this slogan is selected
three other contests will be announced
one for May, one for June and one 70
July--each of them carrying three casl
prizes for suggestions for making tn
1909 fair bigger and better than any o
its predecessors.

Notes from Moody.

Moody, February 22:-Farmers in
this section are going forward with
their preparations for planting, get
ting their lands in condition and
some clearing new land. All have
cheerful faces and look forward with
hope to the future. Tobacco beds
are now green with the young plants
and indications are that this crop,
which is a new venture among most
of our farmers, will have a good
start so as to give the experiment a
fair showing.
Mr. R f Camlin expects to have a
new 70-saw gin in operation IN time
for the cotton season.
Mrs G W Camlin is sick with fe-
yer and but little hope is entertained
of her recovery.
Mr. W u Crooks, who has been
suffering from the effects of a con-
gestive chill, is now able to be out
and attend to his business.
Mr. j L johnson is fencing in a
snug little farm on Mr. W D Bryan's
place here.
Mr. John Brantley of Campfeld
visited here Saturday.
Mr. ] S Wheeler went to Gour-
dins Saturday to spend some days

The whisky Question.

Editor COUNTY RECORD:
/ will, in as few words as possible,
give my views on the county dispen-
sary law.
do not believe in any law that
discriminates against neighborhoods
or sections of the State. We are free
county and people-why should a
law be enacted by our lawmakers
and then the power or authority of
the law be lef. 10 three individuals
of the county to say where the sale
of whisky should be carried on: The
old dispensary system was superior
to the county dispensary system, be-
cause the question was decided by a
majority of the people and not by
county board. If all of our towns In
a county where whisky Is sold are
not allowed equal rights, then |
think our law makers should rid our
State of the whisky and let our peo-
pie order for their use from other
States. Then our towns will all share
equally.
I am one of the citizens of Will
liamsburg county and State of South
Carolina who does not believe in CIV
ing special rights to one class of
people and denying these rights to
another. The rum law as it now
stands does this in hlgh-handed
way. have been reading the Carey
Cothran act for several days and
note in Section 5S4, Volume l, Code
of Laws of 1902: "The said board is
hereby authorized and required to
establish dispensary or dispensaries
as the said board may deem proper,
or close the same, except at the
comfy seat" Now, it seems to me
that the boards power fails TO allow
it to close dispensary when it is
located at the county seat. Note the
discrimination in the law. Also note
the undemocratic point Of this law
to give a board of three men right
to open a dispensary in a town over
the protest of its people against it or
to close one if in the boards wishes
they see fit to do SO. / notice bill
on the calendar in the State Senate
to enact law against discriminate
ing in the sale of kerosene oil and
other products being sold cheaper
BY the manufacturers in one iowa
than another. Our dispensary law
gives one town tne rlght 10 the sale
of rum and denies ii to another
town, both towns IN the same coun-
ty. Away with the devils brash
broom, whisky! He uses this broom
to sweep the moral character of
young men, fathers and husbands,
and he, the evil one, uses this broom
to sweep up victims before the GRIM
inal court and bring sorrow to the
hearts and homes of thousands of
the people of South Carolina. The
name of whisky is evil; the law that
controls the sale is wrong; the Su-
preme Being will in q few years
show the wrong and evil of whisky
to the rising generation and it will
be put out of our land and county.
