Maine Remains Dry.

For many months the pioneer prohi-
bition state has been the battle-ground
of the fiercest war ever waged between
the whiskey and anti-whiskey forces,
the fight having been precipitated by
the latter in the hope that Maine
would swing back in the wet column.
While the election of September 11th
was carried by only small majority
for retaining the prohibition clause in
the state constitution, yet an analysis
of the situation will show that i was
after all decisive prohibition victory.
AS the whiskey interests of the
country at large were vitally concerned
as to the result of the election, they
gave every possible aid to that portion
of the citizenship of Maine which was
endeavoring to overthrow prohibition
in Maine. For this reason the prohi-
bitionists had to overcome not only the
whiskey advocates within their own
borders but the allied liquor forces of
the entire country. The fight was more
than local which makes the victory for
prohibition all the more significant.

Opening Exercises of The Plum
Branch High School.

The Plum Branch high school
opened this morning with 50 pupils.
This is barely half the number that
will be in attendance after the busy
cotton picking season is over. The
sessions work was. launched with ap
propriate exercises in the presence
of the trustees and a number Of pa
irons.
Prof. Norman Fender of Branch
vile is the principal for this session,
and he has associated with him Miss
Mae Roper of Edgefeld in the in
termediate department. and Miss
Elloree Anderson of Woodruff in
the primary department. This is the
first year for Prof. Fender and Miss
Anderson, but Miss Roper has
taught acceptably here for two ses,
sions previous to this. The commu,
nifty feels that it has an efficient
corps of teachers, and is expecting
a thorough sessions work.
The high school department So
licits the patronage of adjacent COM
munities, and being managed by a
full graduate of Furman University
the trustees feel that parents seek
ing high school training for their
children can do no better than TO
send them here.

Busy, Bustling Clark's Hill. MIR.
H. E. Bunch's Fine Farm.

Cotton is still being rapidly gath
cred, the dry weather being very
favorable for it. The ginneries are
kept busy, the store keepers equally
so, selling their goods, for in the
fall truly cotton is king, and all of
his subjects hasten to do him ihom-
age.
Some fine crops are being made
over on our side. Special mention
though must be made of the crop
of Mr.. H. E. Bunch. He is conf
dent of making IS bushels of corn
to the acre and will average about
a bale of cotton to the acre. His
wifeis equally as energetic as he
is himself She has the care
of large poultry farm. She has
hundreds of the beautiful yellow
Legs"-quite an enticing sight to
the lovers OF fried chicken. But in
the midst of their prosperity they
are ever mindful that others may
have claims upon them. No deaf
ear do they ever turn to an appeal
for sid. Their purse strings are
open, also their hearts and home.
A short time ago they took an Or
pban boy to care for him as if he
were their own, and any one who
has been fortunate enough to visit
at their home will know what that
means.
The colleges are still claiming
their toll of our young men. Tues
day Tillman Sharpton and Lewis
Muldrow will leave, the former for
Atlanta to resume his medical
course, the latter for Spartanburg
where he matriculates at Wofford.

Hosiery Mill a Necessity.

1t appears now that the great furor
that has been raised about the hosiery
mill at the penitentiary has been
much ado about nothing" From re-
ports thatwere circulated, the mill was
represented as being veritable hot
bed for disease germs, particularly
tuberculosis germs.
According to a report recently made
by the Richland county grand jury,
following a thorough investigation into
the conditions that obtain u the peni-
tentiary, the number of deaths from
consumption from 1900 to 1905, inclu-
sive, was IS; from 1905 to 1910 it was
% and up to this time in 1911 only
three deaths have occurred from con-
sumption andytwo Of these had the di q
ease when committed to the peniten-
tiary.
From the following paragraph taken
from the grand jury's report it ap-
pears that the hosiery mill or some
kindred industrial enterprise is neces=
sity at the penitentiary:
eve find that many of the convicts
worked in the hosiery mill are those
who can not be worked either upon the
public highways or upon the State
farms, and we also find that quite a
number of convicts are sent to the pen.
itentiary from the county jails and
chaingangs who are sick and frequent
ly horribly diseased and are unfit for
work on the county chain gang or else
where"
Let these facts be called to mind next
summer should the penitentiary and
hosiery mill be referred to for political
purposes in the campaign.

vaccinated in Mouth.

For innovations and altogether new
sensations, Atlanta is especially noted.
A few days ago young lady of that
city took from drawer of the library
table what appeared to be an ordinary
tooth-pick and used the seemingly
harmless little implement in the ordi-
nary way. "a
Soon thereafter her mouth became
so much infamed that a physician was
summoned, and after a thorough study
of the very unusual case he asked what
she had been using for tooth-pick,
suspecting infection of some kind. The
young lady remembered that she had
used tooth-pick in the library, which
was produced after dilligent search.
Upon examination the physician found
that the ''pick" was vaccine point.
The vaccination "took" and the
young lady, in spite of her intense suf-
fering, will have to be patient till it
runs its course.

"Sooner or Later. !"

In an editorial condemning shooting
among negroes of the county in which
it is published, an exchange makes the
following statement:
1--WE warn the citizens of -
county that unless some check is put
upon the promiscuous shooting by ne.
groes of each other, - county will
sooner or later have hanging"
Although very generally used, both
colloquially and in print, is it correct in
the foregoing sentence to use the word
sooner? Would it not be better to
say that soon" or later there will be
hanging, unless the shooting is check
ed? That - county may have q
hanging "soon" or later is within the
range of possibilities, but we DO not
see how it can have one sooner or
later.

Wallace, of the Newberry Observer,
