Prescott market is flooded with watermelons, peaches and cantalou- pes. Our growers are receiving low price this season for watermelons but the large yield will net them quite a nice sum of money.
 Crops are beginning to need rain Tn many sections of the country. There are many communities where the corn crop is practically made and more rain not needed. Late corn, however, will require moisture within few days.

STIMULATION OF BUSINESS.

The Chicago Banker, bank periodi- cal, gives under Iowa Banking News" the following statement:
 "Des Moines banks did big busi- ness Saturday, supplying cash to mer' chants and grocers. At first the cause for the sudden demand for coin was not apparent to the financiers, Then they realized that the saloons of the city had been closed a week. Work' men, who had been cashing their checks in the thirst parlors on Sat' urday nights and leaving a goodiy share of the exchange in the saloon keepers till were, instead, getting them cashed in legitimate places oi business. Des Moines has been dry two weeks now. If business has Deen injured, as the vets so long predicteo' there is no evidence of that fact. Al ready the merchants see stimulation of business, and money which former ly went for booze Is already beginning to go for food and clothing and In 'he payment of honest debts"

METHODIST MISSIONARY SOCIE.
 TY HOLDS MEETING

The Methodist Missionary Society held their regular monthly meeting. with the president, Miss Ellie Few on Wednesday evening at o'clock. This was the time appointed for temper ance meeting and, fortunate indeed, were the members CT this society in having with them at this time Dr. B. A. Few, of Prescott, Arkansas, who has been attending the International Anti Saloon League conference at At lantic City. Dr. Few represented the State of Arkansas, as the prohibition delegate at this conference.
 The missionary meeting was opened with hymn Stand up for Prohibition" A bible lesson was read by Rev. w. J. Snyder followed by a prayer by the Rev. Foster Speer. Song "Till South Carolinas' Dry" was sung, and Mr. Snyder introduced Dr. Few, who is no stranger to the people of Greer The introductory remarks of the speaker based upon the thought the paramount issue in our state and country today is prohibition. He gave some interest ing statistics-First that the popula- tion of s. C. is 90 per cent protestant 1 per cent foreign born. That 70 per cent of the area of the U. $. is under prohibition-50 per cent of the popula- tion. A sad fact is that 100000 die annually in the U. S. of drink and that 1t takes 6 acres of land monthly to bury the drunkards in this, our great nation. Dr. Few spoke of the great interest that was being taken in the churches in this inter-devotional work. He closed with an earnest plea to the voters to rally to the support of the prohibition movement in Sept.
 After an address, song Onward we are marching" was sung, and the meeting adjourned and a social meet ing was held on the brilliantly light ed lawn of the Few home. An ice course was served-by Misses Willie Walker, Emily Smith, Lillian Ballen- ger and Elizabeth Smith The Greer (South, Carolina) Observer.

The Real Fight

! Now that prohibition has won out by
such large majority, the thing for all
enc good people to do is to see to it that
the law shall now be enforced With
good officers and strong sentiment
behind them the law can be made ef-
fectIve and prohibition will prohibit.
Our leaders ought to sec to it that at
the next meeting of the Legislature
strong laws shall be passed to protect
the good people in helping them to en-
force the law. AS the law now stands
all kinds Of techncalitics are resorted
to by sharp lawyers to shield the viola
tors Of law.
Let law be passed where a man
makes or sells liquor that he shall serve
so long in the chaingang without the
privilege of paying out; say for the first
oftense, three months or more, accord
ing to the nature of the ioffense; for the
second offense, not less than twelve
Make them feel the law and
they will be slow to violate it. Let our
lawabidlng citizens make it so hot for
the lawlesS that they will be afraid to
violate the aw. The way to make
loeopl" obey law is TO enforce law.
