The Dead Beat.

No. man is wholly free from sin,
but so many lesser evils are tolerated
that a man should hesitate long be-
fore becoming a dead-beat. Criminals
are despised and abhorred, says the
Atchison Globe, but to the dead-beat
is coming all that, as well as the con-
tempt of his fellow-men. There is
something at once so mean and so
little in taking advantage of the con-
fidence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against a dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is we'll esta ablished.
The dead-beat may fondly imagine
he is living easy and making money
without work, and of course he takes
no account of the confidence he vio-
lates and the hardships he inficts on
others. But, that aside, he really
has a harder time than the man who
is honest and fair. He is compelled
to move a good deal and peace of
mind he knows not. Like other types
of crooks, he doesn't prosper, and his
finish is more unpleasant than the
beginning.

The Lady and the General.

The old Southern city of Colum-
bia, S. c., is the home of courtly
and a chivalrous people. They pride
themselves on their manners, do Co.
lumbians. But there is a story told
down there concerning bit of gal
lantry on 'the part of zone of those
dem Yankees, Suh," which it is ad-
mitted could not have been surpass-
ed by the courtliest Southerner.
The story is to the effect that a
great ball was given at the South
Carolina capitol one evening during
the reconstruction era, and while
many Southern hearts were still en-
bittered. A number of Northern Of
iicers were present at this ball, and
in the course of the evening one of
them was introduced to naughty
Southern lady, whose antipathy to
all Northerners was well known.
The lady acknowledged the intro
duction with gracious inclination
of her head, and then drawing her
self to her full, magnificent height,
said proudly:
But, Sir, I would have you know
that I am still an unreconstructed re-
BEL"
The Yankee officer bowed low.
Madam" he said, 81 am sure that
so admirably constructed a rebel as
yourself needs NO reconstruction!"-

Where the Corn Goes.

those who have travelled for hun
dreds of miles through the corn
belt, what becomes of the corn which
is grown every year. In the year

bushels were consumed in -four and

tion Of distilled liquors, 100000, 900
bushels for glucose, 100, 100000
bushels for export and 100000
bushels for seed, making a total of
100000 bushels, or 1913 per
cent. of the entire crop. The re-
naming SO.7 per cent, or 2,11S,.
100000 bushels, seems to have been

FIGHT HOT IN BEAUFORT.
Both Sides Waking Up to Importance
of August Election.

Beaufort. July 15.-This county
has at last walked up to the interest
in the special election to be held Au-
gust II to decide whether the county
dispensary shall give way to prohibl-
ton. The local paper is receiving a
great many letters from subscribers
giving both sides of the controversy.
The Baptist church in Beaufort has
dismissed from membership the as
sistant dispenser because he would
not give up his job. The ministers,
both white and colored throughout
the county, are active.
This county has always shown a
strong anti-dispensary sentiment
when it comes to enforcing the law
against illicit liquor selling; more
over the geographical conditions
make it very hard for the special
constables to keep track of importa-
tions of liquor. So the dispensary
advocates are arguing that prohibi-
tion will mean transferring the $780,
900 now received in revenue from
the dispensaries from the public
funds to the pockets of blind tigers.
The county commissioner from Beau
fort, lin this weeks issue of the
Beaufort Gazette, states that the loss
of the dispensary fund will make it
necessary for the county to cut down
the appropriation for ordinary road
repairs from $4,000 to $4,000 and
stop all bridge and road building, or
raise the county levy from 3A mills
to 8 mills. The town officials an
nounce that the loss of the dispen-
sary revenue to the town of Beaufort
will reduce the towns income by
one-half and make the contemplated
bond issue for electric lights and wa
ter-works impossible. The county su-
perintendent of education reports
that the loss of the dispensary reve-
nue. that now goes to the school fund
will reduce it from $4,000 to $14,-
900.
The total vote is not likely to be
over 600 and of this about $50 will
be cast by negroes. All that can be
said now is that the result is likely
to be close. Notorious blind tigers
are actively at work for prohibition,
the negro preachers are also urging
prohibition, and these two elements
allied with the bona fide white prohi-
bitionists, will have very nearly a
majority. Some are urging prohibi-
tion as "a first step toward high Ii
cense."

Strong Drink.

1T is a warrior whom no victory
can satisfy, no ruin satiate. 1t pauses
at no Rubicon to consider, pitches no
tents at night, goes into no quarters
for winter. It conquers amid the
burning plains of the South, Where
the phalanx of Alexander halted IN
mutiny. 1t conquers amid the snow
drifts of the North, where the Grand
Army of Napoleon found its winding
sheet. Its monuments are in every
burial ground. It's badges of trl-
umph are the weeds which mourners
wear. It's song of victory is the wall
that was heard in Ramah-"Rachel
crying for her children and weeping
because they are not.
The sword is mighty, and its
bloody traces reach across time, from
Marathon to Gettysburg. Yet mightier
is it's brother, the wine cup. say
brother" and history says broth
er." Castor and Pollux never fought
together in more fraternal harmony.
David and Jonathan never joined IN
more generous rivalry. Hand in hand,
they have come down the centuries,
and upon every scene of carnage, like
vulture and shadow, they have met
and feasted.
Yea; a pair of giants, but the
greater is the wine cup. The sword
has scabbard, and is sheathed; has
conscience, and becomes glutted with
havoc; has pity, and gives quarter to
the vanquished. The wine cup has
no scabbard and no conscience; its
appetite is cancer which grows as
you feed it; to pity, it is deaf; to suf-
fering, it is blind.
The sword is the lieutenant of
death, but the wine cup his captain;
and if ever they come home to him
from the wars bringing their trophies,
boasting of their achievements, can
imagine that death, their master,
will meet them with garlands and
song, as the maidens of Judea met
Saul and David. But as he numbers
the victories of each, his pean will be,

his thousands; but the wine cup is my
David, who has slain& his tens of

A WORD TO FARMERS.
Don't Sell Your Cotton Before You
Have Made 1t.

The Bamberg Herald has often ad-
vised the farmers not to sell their
cotton before it is made. and 1t still
advises them not to do so. We have
heard of some farmers in Bamberg
county who sold Their cotton some
time ago at ten cents per pound. We
think they now realize that they
made mistake in doing so. This
practice has caused the farmers of
the South to lose millions of dollars.
No man can tell what the present
crop will cost to make, as it is not
made yet by long shot. To sell 1t
now would be a leap in the dark,
and we advise the farmers not to
take it.
Should it continue to rain few
more weeks, or should We have few
weeks of dry, hot weather, or an
early frost, either of which would
cut the crop down to half OF what 1t
now promises, and add greatly to the
cost of making per pound, as IL
would not reduce the cost OF making
the crop in the least, you can readily
see that it is a dangerous proposltlon'
to say nothing of the injustice you
do, not only to yourself and family,
but to your neighbors and the coun-
try at large. The last crop was SOLD
at about nine and half cents, Whlch
was about cost, causing this crop
mainly to have to be made on a
credit.
You can, therefore. readily see
the advantage it would give the con-
sumer over the producer, with one
half to be delivered as fast as gatn-
cred at cost, the remainder to be PAID
for ss soon as gathered, causing the
entire crop to be dumped on the mar
ket in less than three months time,
elutting the market. and the mills
would have five or six months, sup
p1y of contract cotton on hand, ana
nerhaps not in position to take care
of any more at present. SO you are
left with half of your crop at the
mercy of the speculator, who can Tx
his own price, which will be perhaps
8 cents or less. .,
It will require about fourteen mill
lion bales of American cotton this
wear to supply the demand. 1t now
looks like twelve million Daies VIII
be the limit of the present crop the
supply falling two million bales short
of the demand. So we see notnlng
tn prevent you from getting a good
price for your cotton this fall If you
will only keep your cotton until 1t is
needed. and let the law of supply ana
demand govern the price. we nave
heard men say twelve cents is nlgn
price for cotton and that ten cents
is q fair price. We think a reason
able profit above the cost of produc--
tion is a fair price for cotton, and
that is what every farmer IS entltleu
to and should have. Again, we ask
YOU not to put stick in the hands
of the spectators to beat you with.

BIG SAW MILL GOES TO WALL Manistee Mills Company
 Insolvent. FAILURE CREATES SENSATION Vastine J. Herlong Thrown Into
 Involuntary Bankruptcy. John W. Love, Aged Confederate Vet eran, Falls from Roof of House
 and is Badly Injured
 in Mobile.

Mobile, June 22.-(Special.) l.)-One of the largest saw mill concerns in South east Alabama was forced to the wall today when vastine J. Herlong was made the subject of involuntary bank ruptcy proceedings in the United States District Court. Herlong is sole owner of the Manistee Mills Company of Man istee, Ala, regarded as one of the largest concerns identified with the Mobile-Pensccola lumber district.
 The petitioners are the Pensacola Grocery Company, Consolidated Gro- cery Company, and the Mobile Electric Supply Company, of Mobile. The Man. istee Mills Company has been in oper- ation at Manistee for several years. and up to quite recently was regarded as one of the most prosperous in the district. The assets for the company were in the neighborhood of $4o0, ,o00, and its liabilities $20o.o0o. Troubles of the concern are said to be due to inability to realize as rapidly as nec- essary upon outstanding accounts. The timber acreage is very valuable.
