Old Newspaper Contains Interesting ■
Items of Local People of Long Ago
Mrs. Alfred Allison has a copy *
an old “Transylvania Pioneer,”
. newspaper published here with
. ate of July 29, 1887, this being
\ cl. 1 No. 2 of “The Official Paper
the County” edited and owned by
K. S. War rock.
Outstanding features of the old
paper are the matter-of-fact way
in which items ot interest were re
|n ited, spades being called spades,
and supposedly good news that the
Susorg System railroad, to run from
Augusta. Ga., via Greenville, S. C.,
and llrcviird and Knoxville was an
assured fact, with the county board
of commissii tiers preparing to call a
special election for voting on a
$50,000 bond issue.
Editor Wavroek was elated over
the way in which his publication had
been i\ reived the past week in all
sections i.f the county, and was
ptuudly idling the worlil that Ihe
rioiK'CT” was hiii* stay, to Ihj of
service and an institution which the
cc tint y culd w. ll.be proud of.
The county seemed to ho short n

The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of liouid laxatives. People '
have teamed that a properly pre- 1

The Rev. J. K. Henderson, A. E.
Hampton, Mr*. Jean Adanu IIayne3
and Miss Sadie North were present
at Enon church Sunday morning to
represent the dry cause. Rev. Hen
derson introduced the speaker*.
Mrs. Haynes challenged as false
and misrepresented some statements
a wet speaker recently made in try
ing to uphold liquor from Bible
proofs. She further stated against
the wet claims, that prohibition
laws are not enforced, that statis
tics show prohibition laws enforced
86 percent against postal 79 percent
or revenue 60 percent.
Miss Sadie North gave an experi
ment to show how liquor cooks the
albumen of the brain. She used an
egg and some moonshine liquor. She
spoke of idiots end such as being the
result of alcohol in the parent. “The
wets can't see,” she said, “their
brains arc cooked.”
Mr. Hampton told of how corpora
tions expect to use whiskey income
to offset the taxes they must pay and
thus put their tax expense on the
labeling man who u-es liquor. He
aiso stated fi reign e< untries are ir- '
terested in having the 18th amend
ment repealed, and that wets admit
1 that records show that New York
; city has less drunkards for the law
under prohibition than before prohi
bition.
Mrs. Haynes is convention candi
date, should it he necessary to have
candidate. Miss North is a nurse and
a physician’s daughter. Mr. Hamp
ton is an insurance man.
