visitors at the Pennsboro fair after
inspecting the educational exhibit ar
ranged and shown by the Extension
Department. of the College of Agricul-
ture, Morgantown. The exhibit occu-
pies a large tent of it's own and hun
dreds of people entered each day and
fingered long to study the various
graphic illustrations of scientific ag-
riculturaI facts.

ter spending more than an hour in ex-
arnining the object lessons in feeds

points of interest. And his remark
seemed to express the general senti-
ment of all observers for it is at once
discovered that this exhibit not only
delights the eye by exaltiug the biggest
ears OF corn, the finest heads OF wheat,
and the latest yearlfng steers, but also
appeals to the Intelligence of the OBJ
server and shows him the way-if he
will but stop to study-in which he
can grow better crops. raise better
stock, make bigger profits and better
enjoy country life.

The Dispcnsary EVIL.

Editor of The Item:
This is now a critical time for the
cause Of morality in Sumter-perhaps
more critical than is fully realized,
even by the thoughtful. In cases of
severe illness relapse is always more
dangerous than a first sickness. Hav-
ing advanced toward a certain ideal
for a time, it is dangerous and de-
mOralizing to go back.
Once l believed the dspensary was
good thing, being a step away from
the disgrace Of open saloons. The
dispensary was tried, it was fairly
successful, but it served it's purpose
and went out of date forever. After
its short career prohibited came
along logically and it has succeeded
as well as any other good thing in the
worlds history. 1t was expected that
enemies of righteousness would
fight prohibition, and they have fought
it; its friends have been compelled
to battle valiantly for it's success, but
u thing that is not worth fighting for
is not worth anything.
II may be an old tale, but l will
repeat it, that the liquor evil under
lies all other evils. Are you in ia
vor of licensing murder? Then vote
for liquor. Are you a friend of steal
ing? to the social evil? to COM
plete contempt for all the ten COM
II so, show it by bring
ing back the dispensary and little
later the open saloon. Once start
your town on the downward path and
there is no telling the depth to which
she will sink.
Sumter is splendid town, but she
has enemies Look out for them and
do not join with them in this unwise
and unholy scheme.

pensary? If any one answers yes,
the facts contradict him, for we have
never had such prosperity in our his
tory as we have had in the last four
years without the dispensary. Will
the whiskey business build up our
churches and Sunday schools? In a
word, will We be a better, happier
people with whiskey than without it?
But ! submit, if it would bring a
million dollars into the county, if it
would decrease the sale ard use of
it to vote for the dispensary back, we
can not afford to do it. 1t is morally
wrong for one TO put a stone OF
stumbling in his brothers way, and
we do that if we help to put whiskey
here by legalizing it. We have no
moral right to legalize it any more
than we have TO legalize theft, muir
der adultery, smallpox, yellow fever
or cholera. 1t is an evil, essentially
and all the time, and it is our right
and duty to outlaw it.

The court has decided that a citi-
zen can send out of the State and

This should be enough to satisfy every
drinking man. Don't you think sober
men and God fearing women who are

drink, have sumc rights? Why then
try and force these open doors to
hell on our streets and compel them

ness or pleasure?
Listen you men who love liquor.
You had better be satisfied with order
ing your liquor. For as sure as time
moves the tide is sweeping over the
world and in a few years there will be
| no place for a drinking man TO fill

and women, all over the world are
getting tired raising boys to support
the liquor traffic, and intend by Gods
help to sweep 1t from the face of the
earth. ID. James Winn.

Shall We Vote the Dis
penSary Back?

Does the Lord Jesus Christ, the
Saviour Of mon, wish us to vote to
make legal the sale Of that which
causes SO much lawlessness, and ruins
so many souls?
Does He wish us to make the sale
Of liquor part of our government, to
help us support it? A thing which
mocks at laws and tramples them un-
der feet?
Is not the sale of liquor my enc
my to hinder my work as a preacher;
your enemy to hinder your work as
a Christian? and shall we go into
partnership with it, and accept our
dividends from it? God forbid.
We, who are Christians, are in the
kingdom Of Christ, and if We go into
partnership with the business do we
not bring the kingdom of Christ into
partnership, and, impossible thought!
bring Christ into partnership with his
own enemy?
If Christ should fight the illegal sale
of liquor by establishing the legal
sale Of it will He not be casting out
devils by Beelzebub the prince of the
devils? Christ never taught that we
should overcome evil with evil; He
says, Overcome evil with good"
But one says, we are practical peo-
pie and we think prohibition has PROV
en- a failure.
But, has it? Have you been fair to
it? No one has disputed Mr.. Jen-
kins' figures that less than half the
liquor has been shipped into the coun-
~ during prohibition as during the
time of the dispensary. Some have
tried to pooh! pooh! it with some
sighting remark, but the fact stands
like the rock of Gibraltar.
Moreover, can't we do something
more for the enforcement of pro-

hibition than we have been doing?
| confess / have done little, but il
there is anything that l ought TO do
| should be glad to know Of it.
Can't we establish a law and order
league, with only those as members
who are heartily in sympathy with
the spirit Of that organization?
A number of Sumter people have
talked to me about the Elks and
Eagles and the club at Second Mill.
They say they are all practically bar
rooms, only they are limited by GER
tain restrictions. l do not know these
things by my own observation but
come of the respected citizens of sum
ter have told me that these clubs were
practically saloons running night ana
day and all day Sunday.
Now as to them: Were not the
Eits and Eagles in existence while
the dispensary was in Sumter? Have
they not come to supply a place for
SOCIdl uIlIlhlllS, GdlneT imam 10 cUdDl6
their members to buy liquor? If you
vote back the dispensary you will
have dispensary and saloons then we
will be worse off than we were before
the voting out of the dispenasry, be-
cause these clubs are now boldcr
through immunity.
Is there not some way TO reach these
clubs? Can not We who are preach
ers call upon the members of these
clubs who are Christians to come out
Of them, urging them to remember
Gods words, Come ye out of the
midst of them, and be We separate. ye
that bear the vessels of the Lord, and
touch no Gnclean thing"
Then can not all of us by backing
up the officers of the law put a stop
to these illegal practices?

WHAT WILL DISPENSARY DO?
Think of and Answer Before They
Vote.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Doubtless there is an honest diff
ference of opinion concerning the re-
establishment of the dispensary for
the handling of the liquor business,
and, SO far as this writer can see,
there is no good to be gained by bit
ter denunications of those who differ
from us. Denunciation Of an op-
ponent only betrays sense of weak
ness in the one who deals in it. 1t
does not prove anything, and never
gains friend. So in discussing this
perpleXing question, it is wise to be
perfectly fair and tolerant toward ALL
[ am not disposed therefore, to indis-
criminately condemn every man who
favors the dispensary system as an
intentional enemy to his country, or
as unkind to his neighbor
Our vision of things is necessarily
affected either by brain condition or
by distractions extending to the brain,
that destroy the ability to see clearly.
II, therefore, one may be able to clari-
fy the vision of his brother man by
removing the obstruction or correct
ing the internal disorder, he has rem
dered a valuable service to his fell
low man, and is a benefactor to the
world.
Now. there are three classes in ev-
cry contest like this to be dealt with:
CD There are those who see the
truth and have the courage always to
do the right; (2) those who have
only an indistinct vision of the truth,
and are therefore undecided what to
do; and CD those who are blind and
VIII not see the truth, and have made
up their minds to go in a given direc-
ton, right or wrong. AS regards the
first and third classes referred to, it
is needless to appeal TO them, for the
first does not need it, and the third
Will not heed it. The second class,
always hope to draw in support Of
any good cause.
Then, let those who are not so sure
of the rightness of their position
those who are undecided-stop and
think-yea, and think soberly.
Is it best for our city and county to
leGalize the sale Of whiskey, and, if SO,
why is it best? Is it best for the
brother who is unfortunately addict
ed to the habit of drinking? Will he
drink less when il is more convenient
for him to get it? Is il best for the
family of the drinking man? Will the
drinking father and husband better
provide for his family and be kinder
to them than he will without the
dispcrsary? Will his homo be more
orderly and heavenly having "A dis
pensary convenient to it? viii the
life and moral character of the boys
and yong men of Sumter be safer by
legalizing the sale of whiSkey? viii

company and shun places of i'll re-
pute than they will without it? Will
our daughters be more likely to marry
sober, industrious, manly men by

controlled with the legalized sale Of
liquor than without it? Will We have
