ANGUS BULLS ARRIVE.
City National Bank Makes Move =,
Aid Farmers in Rai>iug Beer Cat
tie.

Some time ago the City National
Bank announced that in order t. ald
the farmers in Sumter county in rais-
ing more beef cattle it had decided to
purchase two fun blooGed bulls which
were to be kept in different sections
OF the county for use by the farmers
N'o wanted tC raise cattle for beef
THESE animals arrived in Sumter on
Saturday and one has been placed for,
the present with Mr.. j. Frank WI
iiams in the western section Of tho
county, and one with Mr.. DuRant
Tisdalc in the eastern section Of the
county.
AS a means for Keeping the bulls
1t has been decided to make a mere
iy nominal charge for service by them,
Just enough to pay the expenses OF
Keeping the animals in good condition.
The animals are the black Angus type,
which is said to be the best beef cat
Tie type in the country. They will be
moved from place TO place, probably.
from time to time so that any farmer
can get the use of them
The animals were purchased
through Clemson College and are of
the best pedigree. The step taken by
the City National Bank is a progress
sive one that should meet with the ap-
probation OF the farmers Of the county
and be the means of encouraging the
beef raising industry in the county.

"A Blessing for Even Charleston.
Greenwood Journal.

Greenwood Journal.
We have been told time and again
that the very worst thing that could
ever come to Charleston would be
prohibition. That IL would lead TO all
manner of evils. Whatever might be
the thing for other places II would not
work In Charleston; for conditions
were very different there. Put Gov.
Manning closed the dispensaries on
account Of the riot incident to the
election and the Charleston Post in
an editorial bears this testimony TO
the blessings of prohibition during
that time;
The closing of the dispensaries
during the period Of disturbance in
Charleston consequent upon the
election conflicts. 1t is pointed out
has resulted in large curtailment of
the county revenue. Nevertheless it
Is n price that will cheerfully be
paid for the security that has been
given against the addition Of intoxi-
cation TO the other elements of
danger that threatened this COM
munity in the trying time through
which we are now gradually emerg-
ing. The sobriety of the people un-
der the enforced closing of the dis
pensaries and the strict guard upon
the illegal sellers of liquor has beer
an interesting and impressive DEM
onstration OF the possibilities of
prohibition. TO which the county
must come under the new order de-
termined by the people OF the STATE.
III even such a measure OF en-
forcement as has been made dIrin,-
the past two weeks can be mair tain
ed In Charleston continuously after
the new law goes into operation,
there may be q much more general
persuasion of the merits of the policy
that has been held in traditional op-
position by this community than has
boen expected. That, however, is for
the future. Immediately the com
munity may view with equanimity any
temporary losses that have. come from
the altogether wise shutting down Of
the dispensaries during the days Of
disturbance that are just behind us,
even though there should not be an
almost certain prospect of recoupins
in the brisk trade that will come with
the reopening OF the liquor depots."
