work done during the. year Was sug-
gested and discussed.

remain silent and not raise voice
against the great evil that now
threatens to invade our county and
our homes.
The medical profession of South
Carolina and of all the states have
inaugurated one of the greatest
campaigns ..of preventive medicine
ever known in its history, and the
laity must know the prevention OF
whiskey means the prevention of
disease. 'Tis true we cannot charge
all diseases to whiskey, nor can we
charge all crimes to whiskey, but
there is so much that can be charg-
ed to it that we must know dispens-
ing with whiskey will eliminate or
prevent much disease.
As to the moral of the question
we believe we can appropriately
leave it to the ministry, and we
dare say their guns will be seen and
heard in the front ranks of the fir
ing lines until the question is dis
posed of.

Edgefield County Physician
Speaks Out on Dispensary
Question.

Dear Advertiser: We should be
extremely sorry to see any move
ment made to re-inauguste the dis
pensary in our county. To put up
any argument whatever against it
seems but reflection upon the in
telligencs of our citizenship.
We are democratic people, and
if the majority of our people say
by their votes they desire the dis
pensary why, the minority must
take their own medicine and yield
to the wishes of the majority under
our self-made constitution, the laws
made in accordance Herewith. But
We believe there is q solemn duty
and a grave responsibility resting
upon those whose opportunities
have been greater than the masses
of inaugurating an educational cam
paign against whiskey. Our loyal
ty to the great profession, which
we have the honor to represent
would be but mockery should We

get. AS it is now, if a man wants
nhiskey, he can order what he
wants and keep it at his house, and
there certainly is not one tenth as
much drinking on the highways.
You know full well that meeting a
drunken crowd of negroes in this
way may lead to serious tragedy,
from which, Just one case might
cost the county more than all the
profits they would make from the
dispensary in six months, besides
the death of some worthy citizen.
Oh! how can a man who has a wife
and daughters making constant
trips to Edgefeld from their coun-
try homes, sanction the re-opening
of dispensary, and at the same
time putting a temptation in the
way for our sons.
haven't written these lines be"
cause think there is any great dan
ger of this dispensary being put
back for I do not believe it, and
have plenty of faith in the chival-
rous manhood of the men, and faith
in the good women of this county
of my birth, but to give warning in
time to keep down q sentiment that
may after a while grow into dan
gerous number.
May the Lord prosper you MIR.
Editor for the uncompronis Jog
stand you have taken in this matter,
as we'll as in all matters pertaining
to the welfare of Edgefeld county
and state and I pray that the day
will never come when you will be
lacking in enough men ard God
fearing women to back you up and
sustain you in every undertaking
for the advancement of law and or
der and the building of Gods king
dom here on this earth. I take off
nv hat to those who have already
preceded me in advocating this
righteous cause through the columns
of Edgefeld's staunchest paper.
I close this letter by saying to the
editor and to the Christian citizen
ship of Edgefeld county run with
patience the race that is before you
and trample under foot any symp-
toms of moral cowardice that may
deter you from winning the fight
for the salvation of our boys.

AS to blind tigers, the establish

so if we vote for whiskey we may

all the acts we do, but we are de-

election is ordered and vote it
down.
God does not look upon sin with
any degree of allowance, and as
far back as history reaches we find
that He punished the people as a
nation, and will continue to rule, so
let us get right with God individ-
ually and be led by him. With my

we put God first and look to him
that we will not have whiskey in old

Death of Little o. B. Anderson.

For several months little 0. B.
Anderson has been the object of
great solicitude on the part of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. o. B. Ander-
son, on account of serious and con-
tinued illness. On Tuesday at Q
O'Clock he passed away at the age of
four years. He had been q great
treasure in the home, for there is no
gift so valued, no earthly posses
sion more precious than the life of
a little child. But God loves them,
and takes more of them away from
earth than any other age. The
throne of God is surrounded with
these happy spirits, and there will
be no more weeping there, nor sick
ness nor sorrow, for God will wipe
all tears from their eyes.
There is no eloquence of tongue
or pen sufficient to portray the sor-
rows of the bereft parents, and none
sufficient to show the depths of
sympathy which friends would be
glad to manifest if they could. We
can but silently commend them to
the Father who cares for these
things, knowing that it is well
with the child" The interment
took place at the Baptist cemetery
at noon to-day, Rev. ]. r. Walker
officiating.
