APPEARANCE.
Some women buy a steel range because it
looks attractive as it stands on the floor.
Lots of nickel plating to show it off and catch
they eye. Did you ever stoo to consider how
much this nickel plating cost? How hard it
is to keep clean? How much it improves the
cooking quality of the ranee?
The Majestic Manufacturers.
! do not believe in this nickel trimming, they
spend their money on improving the inside of
their range. Don’t you think it worth con
sidering such matters?

OPPOSES A DISPENSARY.
A Strong Plea Against The Dis¬
pensary and Whiskey Traffic
Mr. Editor;
Ther-i w a a a paragraph in the
last issue of your paper that stir
| ed my soul to its very depths. It
wai the statement that some rer
J sons here were in favor of Newton
County having a liquor dispen¬
sary. Oh ! I hope you are mistak¬
en, and that no one can be found
who is so heartless as to want to
- d»sgrace our county by foisthig
such an iniquitous system upon us
No one with a spark of humanity
in his soul, who has studied the
history of dispensaries in our own
State, and in the adjoining State
of South Carolina, would dare vote
for it Wherever it has been tried
it has proved no check to drunken¬
ness, but has only made it more
respectable, and made those who
voted for it particeps criminis be¬
fore God in the murders, assualts,
and other crimes that were caused
by it. They say better to regulate
it than to have “blind tigers?”
\\ ho says that 3 The men in favor
of liquor. The “blind tigers” do
! j not furnish enough to satisfy them,
, and it puts them to more trouble
: to ^* et They know well enough
j that the “blind tiger” will contin¬
ue to exist if we have the dispen-
1 sary. Regulate the liquor traffic?
You had just as well talk about
' regulating the devil. There is
no
way to regulate it, except to crush
it out. It has gradually grown
beyond the control of even its
friends. Ho you say the county
needs the revenue from its salt?
Needs it for what? To pay the
cost of trying the criminals made
by drinking the liquor that would
j S °1 d by the dispensary, and t<>
1 support these criminals in
j Would our jail?

Py homes, blast, hopes, break
heart-, cause crime, am! destroy
souls? Uod h is blessed us abun
dandy this \eir lie has earned
our fie'ds to yield their increase,
and given us peace and prosperity,
Shall w-; manifest our gratitude for
these blessings by starting a busi
ness upon which he has pronoun
red a curse? He says: t » Woe unto
him thatgiveth his neighbor drink,
that putte h the bottle to him, to
make him drunk m; and “wot
unto him that, buildeth a town wit h
blood, and cstablisheth a city by
iniquity!” V.'e are our “brother’s
keeper,” and God will hold ns re¬
sponsible if we fail to do all we
can to keep the bottle from his
lips. It is a fearful thing to have
the right to vote and not u-e it for
the glory of God and the good of
humanity. Christ says in his
Word in speaking of his church,
i i The gates of hell shall not prevail
against it,” but if members of the
church, by their votes, deliberately
open these gates in our midst, what
can we exDect to result but the
eternal death and ruin of some
souls for whom Jesus died? Would
those church members and others
who voted for the dispensary be
held guiltless before God for the
ruined homes, thefts, murders and
lost souls that would be the prod¬
uct of the liquor sold in it? The
bar-rooms we once had here, were
frequently the scenes of quarrels,
lights and sometimes murders.
Would the community be benefit
ted by changing these scenes to
the home, by sending the man with
his jug to drink its contents in the
presence of his wife and children,
and when inflamed by whiskey,
vent nis wrath and savage or. these
innocent and helpless victims, that
was erstwhile spent on his physical
equals in the bar-room? Perhaps
you say it is hard to get whiskey
when you nexl it. Better that
than make it easy to get when von
do not need it. Whiskey supplies
no teal want of the human system.
It burns the coats of the stomach
The stimulation it gives is only se-
cured by its burning up usetul ma
terial in the body for which the
body afterwards suffers loss m force
and energy. There are very few
times in tiny lile when whiskey is
really necessary. Voters of New
ton county! by all that you hold
dear and sacred, bv the love of wife
and children, by your hope of
Heaven and God's approval. I ini
plore you to save Covington from
the curse of having a dispensary
for the sale of liquor. I world
commend for your thoughtful pe
rusal the following extract from an
editorial in the Press-Post, a deni
oeratic daily or Columbus, Ohio:
“Iu the United States there is
expended annually for liquor the
sum of $1,500,000,000, and this
enormous sum, instead of bringing
results which strengthen and ad¬
vance the nation, militates against
everything that is finest and best
in its manhood and womanhood.
t « More destructive than dyna¬
mite, more deadly than the largest
rapid firing gun that science has
invented, a greater curse than war
itself, a greater thief than can be
found behind the bars of any pem
tentiary, is this traffic which has
gradually grown beyond the con
trol of even those who are its
friends “Who steals my purse
steiiiS trash, but he who filches
from me my good name, robs me
of that which neither enriches him
but makes me poor indeed, »» said
the sage, whom the world honors
for its teachtr.
“Any force which stultifies and
weakens man’s capacity for good,
anything that robs him of thepow- 1
er to preserve him of his good
name anything that degrades
manhood to the slightest degree,
shouid become the especial care of
the nation, and should be struck
from the sojl—rooted up and cast
into outer darkness that shall
never know light. ;
1 uis nation boa-ts loud and
long pi its might invested in army
and m battle ships; it points with
pride to thb size and extent of its
commercial achievements, but all
its soldiers, all its armored battle- •
ships, all its pride of ftrein
mercial complication, cannfl
it from a foe, so securely eni
ed within its own body—a
gnaws at its very vita

vitals of Prometheus ot old]
