Arcadia Items.

Sunday here was certainly an
ideal day, and many of our people
were out riding or driving, enjoy
ing the lovely scenery which
characterizes this valley.
A few of our people have been
making their gardens, while many
others seem to think it is some-
what early to begin gardening.
1t is hardly probable that the
weather will continue through this
month as it has been through the
past two weeks. Better look for
some very disagreeable weather,
on or about the vernal equinox.
G. w. Sutherland, our road boss,
has been doing some extra good
work on the roads east of town.
Mr.. Sutherland has a pretty clear
conception of the road problem,
and is doing all that any one can
possibly do, considering the
amount of money and labor at his
command.
H. M. Collins last week started
up his bottling works, and will
soon be prepared to furnish soda
water by the wagon load.
Louis Miller is working a num-
Der of men, preparatory to putting
in several gravel walks running at
various angles to the Bethesda
Spring" This property, when
completed, will be used, we are
informed, as a park in connection
with the already popular Arcadia
Hotel.
Misses Mamie Player and Velma
Sutherland were in Ironton Satur-
day afternoon.
Mrs. Allgier spent last week in
Flat River visiting her daughter,
Mrs. Thompson.
MI. Gordon, who formerly lived
east of Ironton, is now working
for Mr.. Conrad.
Miss Patty Andrews was in
Ironton Saturday.
James Vance has bought the
Hughes farm near Graniteville.
Mrs. Eldracher spent last week
visiting friends in St. Louis.
James Austin spent last week in
st. Louis.
D.. E. Fletcher was in Hogan a
few days ago.
Marcus Yount has returned from
Columbia, where he spent a few
months at school.
We are reliably informed that
Arch Hall has sold his farm, west
of Graniteville, to Circuit Clerk
Hawkins, of Ironton; considera-
ton $1,000.
There certainly appears to be a
phenomenal attraction to the Muir
dock Crumb surveying camp, out
near the rifle range, these days.
We are glad to note that oul
good friend, VIM. Henson, who
lives near the Shut-In, and who
has been confined to his room fol
the past five or six weeks, is some.
what better. We hope he may
soon fully regain his health.
Mr.. A. Martin spent a few days
near Des Arc last week. X.

eeal from a confding public.
More charitable in my view OF him
than he is in his of me, l attribute
his error here to ignorance, not
design. Therefore, it is with
pleasure that | again assure him
that not one dollar-not one cent
of the sums given in ''the left-hand
column has gone to the state;
every cent of them went into the
county treasury and was used for
county purposes solely. Before
the present ''dryness" set in, sa-
looms paid yearly an average
amount of $4,000 into the county
treasury; while the total amount
for the past three years was only
St,250. At hat rate of decrease of
receipts the surplus on hand four
years ago has of necessity disap-
peared, and mark you! some self
seeking, strenuous advocates of
prohibition will make san empty
treasury" a political battle-cry in
the approaching campaign. All is
fish that comes to their net, and
honesty, justice, and fairness are
no hindrance to them! They are
willing to compel an untoward
condition, and then, because of
it's existence, cry aloud to heaven
for redress and reform. If they
can "work'' the anti saloon ele-
ment to their ends, is it not to the
glory of the G. O. p? Upon it's
success hang the law and the
prophets.
Bro. Swift, with an injured air,
intimates that he has not free &C.
cess to the county records, but is
going to ''insist" on seeing them
in order to secure the material to
prove his position. Will he tell
wherein he has been denied the
same ~''access" that l have? Has
he asked for information and been
denied? By whom?
| am surprised and grieved that
my Rev. Bro, wholly without just
ification, accuses me of ''throwing
dirt in the eyes of the taxpayers"
The exalted profession he pro-
claims should warrant him from
bearing false witness against his
neighbor.

HEATHEN China has just about
exterminated the opium traffic in
her dominions, despite the efforts
of Christian(? ) Europe. British
charges that China is insincere in
its anti-opium crusade are answer
ed by Bishop Bashford, an Amer
lean Methodist, who has just re-
turned from an extended tour in
Kianosi and Szechwan provinces.
There the cultivation of the poppy
has ceased. The prohibitory edict
is sternly enforced. AS an instance
is cited one place where the farm
ers refused to destroy their poppy
crop. The project a~dmonished
them that this refusal was tanta-
mount to rebellion, and the farm
ers persisting, soldiers were sent
thither and "the offenders were
tried and beheaded in their own
fields" Prohibition may be said
to prohibit in the "Flowery King
DOM"

THIS from the pen of my Rev.
Bro. Swift last week. | give it
verbatim ct punctuatim, sin the
exact language of his own words"
AS to the figures printed twice
in the REGISTER purporting to be
a comparison of the relative reve-
nue. from saloons and the criminal
costs in this county we have to
say that we deem it unfair and IN
sportsmanlike for the REGISTER to
try and blind the tax payers with
the idea that all the money printed
in the left hand column of last
weeks table of figures, comes to
the county. Always does the
county have to pay over to the
State a part of the saloon license.
If the REGISTER will subtract from
the returns from saloon licenses
the amounts sent to the State and
compare with the actual criminal
costs we will be fair and admit we
have been mistaken provided the
facts and figures prove it. Come
on acros Brother AXE with the
real figures and also answer our
repeated questions. We are trust
ing you to do the fair thing on
this. You have the figures and
we have not the access to them
that you have. If you insist upon
throwing dirt in the eyes of the
tax payers we will have to insist
upon an examination of the coun-
ty records in order to secure ma
terial with which to prove u
position. So be good and tell us
the real amount the county re-
ceived from the saloon licenses
and we can furnish the actual
criminal costs.
Where competent, | am always
eager to give light to my lesser in
formed brethren. Ignorance is
not vicious, per Sc, although it not
infrequently puts its subject into a
hole. 1t hath some advantage,
too, in the laying down OF premises
from which to argue to a desired
conclusion, and | do not know of a
more forcible illustration of this
fact than is given in the foregoing
paragraph. The REGISTER said
that the surplus of S12, 900 in the
county treasury three years ago
had "gone glimmering," and gave
in explanation-as we'll as to dis
prove n of Bro. Swift's hasty
fndings-the following figures
from the record:
