INTERESTING TO A FARMER
Closing of DistiIIery and Brewery
Would Set at Liberty Large Amount
of Capital and Labor.
CBy FRoF. JOHN A. NICHoLs.I

(By FROF. JOHN A. N1CHOLS)
They cry out that if the liquor traf-
fic is abolished one Of the markets for
grain will be destroyed and terrible
calamity will fall upon the farmers.
But the closing Of the distillery and
brewery would set at liberty large
amount of capital and labor which
would be diverted to other channels
of business, including among other
things the development Of produce and
It's adaptation to the wants Of the
people. Many millions Of dollars now
expended in liquor would be expended
in farm produce Of various kinds.
There is large proportion of our
people who do not consume as much
of our farm produce as they need and
desire, because of the waste of wealth
In the consumption Of intoXicants, and
If this waste ceased the demand for
farm produce would ut once increase.
Experience has shown that the closing
up of the saloons and the outlawing
Of the liquor traffic has always proved
great benefit to every legitimate in.
dustry. A chapter in the history Of
Ireland furnishes a graphic illustra-
ton. During the years 1S09-10 and
1884 the distilleries Of Ireland were
stopped on account Of the famine, on
the ground that these distilteries
wasted the grain that might other.
wise be used by the people as food.
The results were surprising. The con-
sumption Of spirits fell off nearly one
half. On the other hand there was a
tremendous increase in the demand
for dry goods, blankets, cotton goods,
sugar. hardware, crockery. groceries
and other necessities, thus showing
that a year of scarcity with prohibition
is better than a year Of plenty with

HINT ON CLEANING CARPETS
With Little Care SoiIed Floor Gov
erlne Can Be Made to Look
Bright and Clean.

Many g housewives heart aches
when she notices spots which mar the
beauty of her living room, carpet or
bedroom carpet; but there is way to
remove them Mix together quantity
of fuller's earth and enough boiling
water to make a paste. Apply this
mixture to the grease spots while it is
quite hot and do not brush 1t away
until it is thoroughly dry. Equal quan-
titles of magnesia and fullers earth
moistened with boiling water will
prove especially eficacious If applied
to the spots
If carpets are very dirty. they may
be successfully washed in the follow
ing manner:
To every two gallons of boiling wa
ter add one ounce Of yellow soap and
EMO dram Of soda. With clean fan
mel, dipped in this liquid. wash the
carpet well, doing small portion at
time. Rinse with clean hot water
and allow the carpet to dry. The colcrs
will be greatly improved by after
ward applying cloth dipped in am
monia.

BLOW TO PERSONAL LIBERTY
No Person Has Inherent Right to Sell
Liquor or Buy It in Saloon,
Says Supreme Court

The Supreme Court Of the United
States says that no person has an In
herent right to sell liquor, and now
the Supreme court Of the state Of
Washington declares that no person
has an inherent right to buy liquor
In a saloon. In its decision the court
said:
"Just as the right to engage in the
liquor traffic is not an inherent right
In any citizen, neither Is 1t an inher
ent right in any citizen to treat an
other in a licensed saloon which is
under the control of the police power
being exercised by municipality
Whatever tie right Of the citizen may
be elsewhere, he has no inherent
right even to buy liquor at such Q
plan,."
A. other blow to personal liberty,
as interpreted by the liquor trade and
its friends!

TO DO AWAY WITH ALCOHOL
New Regulation in Federal Military
Expected to Bring Relief to Evils
Complained Of.

1t is notorious that drinking and
drunkenness are great evils connected
with army life. 1t was to protect the
soldiers from this debauchery that the
canteen was abolished. To further
stimulate them to lead temperate
lives an order has been issued by the
federal government which reads as
follows:
Provided. that no officer or en-
listed man in active service. who shall
be absent from duty on account Of dis.
ease resulting from his own intem-
perate use of alcohol or drugs or other
misconduct shall receive pay for the
period of such absence from any part
Of the appropriation"
This new regulation in our federal
military service Is expected to bring
relief at least in some measure. to
the evils complained Of; also 1t Is re-
garded as another step toward abolish.
ing the use of alcoholic beverages In
the army entirely.

Insurance Rates.

Insurance companies in Great Brit
ain. America, Sweden, Norway and
Germany are discriminating against
those who drink, even in moderation.
The insurance companies In Germany
have issued leaflets and posters show
ing the detrimental effects OF alcohol
on the human body. Many insurance
companies place total abstainers in a
separate division, insuring their lives
on cheaper rates 1t is manifestly un-
just to require that total abstainers
shall pay higher insurance rates on ac-
count of the losses caused by the
drinkers insured By. the same CON-
pany.

PROPER CARE OF CUT GLASS
RI Treated With Proper Consideration
Glassware Should Last for
Many Years.

When glassware is treated with con-
s9deration it will Last for generation.
but in the hands of careless maid its
beauty is soon marred by cracks or
broken edges. When few simple
precautions are followed It's brilliancy
and fawIess surface will remain for
years In a state of preservation.
Tepid water. the best CASTLE or 9th
or pure soap, and a stiff brush are
the first essentials. After washing
and rinsing place the cut glass In
lockwood sawdust. This will absorb
the moisture in the cutting. Next
remove the sawdust from the plain
surfaces with a soft cloth. BY fol-
lowing these directions the original
clearness and sparkle of the glass will
be maintained
Shot should not be used in carafes,
cruets. toilet and similar articles. It
is very apt to scratch the glass, and
thus mar Its beauty. Prosaic potato
peelings are the best aids. Let then
remain in the glassware over night
and then rinse out with a little tepid
water.
A very important point Is to avoid
sudden changes from extreme heat
to extreme cold, and vice versa. A
pitcher or tumbler which has beer
filled with ice water, tray that hos
been used for ice cream. If plunged
at once into hot water will be apt
to crack. Use tepid water and the
risk of breakage is avoided.
The sudden change from heat to
cold Is just as dangerous. Glass
ware should never be removed from
q closed cabinet where 1t has become
'ted and brought Immediately into
.ontact with q cold substance. Cool
the glass for a time in water before
subjecting it to the extreme tempera'
ture.

had proved necessary because of the

opening Of the Tip Top Sale, and to
show the appreciation of his company
for this patronage they we're going to
put on such bargain prices as was
never before heard of in Cheraw. This

tile Co. store will last until Christmas
Eve night and no doubt announce
ments will appear in future issues of

The big sales being conducted by
some of our merchants are sure at
tracing the crowds to the city, and
that they are doing the business one

some of our old-time non-advertising
