under the tutorship of Prof. R. J.
Herndon, of Yorkville. They are re
ceiving many calls this season.
The faculty of Franklin Academy,
Lancaster county, S. C, with their
happy school band and many other
Lancastrians, crowded the coach fa
cilities on the Cheraw Railroad Fri
day morning of the 6th inst., and
went to Fort Lawn, Chester county,
where they spent the day in jubilant
pic-nicing and other social amuse
ments. The Lancaster school bids fair,

principal, Prof A. J. Clark, to do
much for education.
Gastonia and Her Business.
(From The Gazette of May 14, 81.)
We called on the most of our bus
iness men this week 'found them in
good spirits and all spoke of being
well pleased with the trade of the
present year. It will be remember
ed five years ago there was only one
one store in Gastonia, doing a mod
erate amount of business. It has de
cided business advantages and is
fast becoming the trading point for
this section west of the Ctawba river.
The early history of Atlanta is
somewhat similar to that of Gasto
nia, except the latter has grown fast
er than Atlanta did in the first seven
years of its history. Atlanta was
founded in Dekalb county, about five
miles from Decatur (the courthouse)
and in five years after its birth it be
came the rival of Decatur when
great jealousy sprang up which in
creased and prejudice became so
strong that a division of the county
became necessary. Marietta, whicn
was a thriving town only about 25
miles distant on the north, Jonesboro
and N'ewnan on the south, and Cov
ington on the east at the time never
dreamed that Atlanta would become
theirj-ival, but in a few years more
these"two towns began to cry down
"the shell" as they termed it. The
war came and left it In ashes, but as
soon as peace was declared she as
sumed her former energies and
building and population increased to
a remarkable extent and today sne
is the pride of the south. Those cit
ies who once despised her have
learned to profit by her and feei
proud of their great city. Decatur,
which was supposed to be ruined by
Atlanta it is true, lost her trade but
real estate sells today in Decatur at
fancy prices, because many business
men of Atlanta prefer to have homes
in the quiet town. Gastonia is mov
ing on in the same style, being near
her court house, her first growth was
not as rapid as some other towns on
the Air-Line, but' now she has be
come the most important trading
point in the county and her rapid
growth is prescribed on all sides.
Prohibition Ilooming.
(From The Gazette of May 14, '81.)
There never has been such a uni
versal sentiment far reform, as is
now engaging the minds of this
great republic. It is the all-absorbing
question of the day and well may
it claim the attention of all. For
the use of spirituous liquors has be
come one of the greatest curses of
the land; and tbe only effectual way
to end it is to stop the fountain head
the distilleries. Let every one,
both great and small, go to work and
leave nothing undone that human
skill and energy can do from now
until tbe election is over; and by the
help of an invisible and unseen pow
er, we' will demolish and annihilate
one of the strongholds of his Satan
ic MJeety. There is but one moral
Side to this question and you will
find all good men arrayed on the
side of honor and fighting the
mighty monster.
No one can vote for the continua
tion of distilleries and grog-shops ra
this day of enlightenment, unless it
is to gain money, and this money has
to come from the poor families who
are cursed by drunken husband's.

Raleigh, vice president; James A.
Gray, Jr., of Winston-Salem, second

LIVING TtX) FAST.
Galveston Tribune.
Americans, in their feverish quest
for efficiency, have been living alto
gether too fast. The burden of fast
life tells most heavily upon the heart
New York has succeeded in reducing
its death from tuberculosis from
421 in each 100,000 to 169 in 19H;
but during this same period Its
deaths from heart disease have in
creased from 74 to 169 and the ena
is not yet in sight. In Worcester
Mass., no less than 21.5 per cent of
all deaths in the industrial popula
tion are caused by organic heart dis
ease; 15.2 per cent is the propor
tion for the entire city. The best
cure for either heart trouble or
tuberculosis is the preventive
method. It is so much easier to pre
vent than it is to cure. And the
best way to prevent tubercu
losis is to see that the child has
consitution to begin with, that his
physique is developed by systematic
and rational training, and that he
learns to keep bis exertions well
within the limit of his capacity.
A LARGE JOB.

The historian 'of the future, par

tempts a reliable record of the
great war, will essay a staggering.

There may be a way some day to
get at the official reports, but It
grows more evident daily that most
of these have been and are being
shaped for home consumption. For
that reason the historian who ar
rives at correct conclusions must be
gifted with a capacity to delve deep

a certainly little short of infallibi

Perhaps no genuine history of the
war will be written until a century
after its conclusion. At that time
the perspective may be clear of con
fusing and conflicting statements
and records and the nations now at
strife may be so strongly allied in
the bonds of peace as to be ready
to unite on facts.
If nothing better results, a record
