Where are the Prohibitionist* * If we are not !n error, the prohibitionists sometime ago were very Dolsy, and were frequently repeating the arguments of the license advoroates against the dispensary. In their holy zeal they seemed to have no realization of the fact that they were fighting in the ranks ot the license advorcates, even if they were not attempting to be their captains and colonels of the liquor crowd. During the lttlng of the Legislature It seems to as the prohibition leaders of the license advorcates went into a hole or played on a very small fiddle. Vn hfvir would denv that the traffic in II* quor is one of the moat difficult problems be fore the people. As a rale, the liquorelement has paid little attention to prohibitory laws, but the dispensary law has been fought from first to last. , As we believe, the liquor associations of the country, have tried to prevent the enforcementof the law. The courts have been appealed to, and temperance people have aided comforted or encouraged the license adver cates In their efforts to break down the law. And It seems to us that some of the opponents of the law have been a little careless In ascertaining facts, and have not been quite as fair In their speech as they should have been. We all know that the use of liquor as a beverage Is one of the greatest evils from which we sutler. But all of us do not know that It Is well to atop the sale of liquor at sun down. Some of ub think that it Is best to keep the bars open until ten or eleven or twelve o'clock at night where men and boys may assemble I and drink. Someof us do not believe that it Is well to close at night the doors when the debased may corrupt the better cr(more innooent man or boy. Someofus prohibition ists have expended their energies against the disrvnnaarv without once ADDeallnz to the better natures of oar people in any effort to dissuade them from contracting the drloK habit. Some of as prohibitionists do not recognize the fact that the dispensary gives prohibition from sunset to sun rise. In tbe Legislature, the worst and most dan* gerous proposition as to liquor has been made, namely: High license. Abbeville bas bad all sort* of llqnor laws, but our testimony wonld be, tbat high license Is tbe most obJec_ \ tloDable of Blithe methods of handling liquor. - 'First. It deprives the poor man of a fair z chance, and drives blm out of business. Second. It gives a monopoly to the rich, and fnrnlsbes tbe power to oppress. Third Tbe danger is tbat when a man bas a monopoly of tbe liquor traffic, be may use ex tortlon, and the wonder la. If the liquor is as pure as when there is more competition. cQflioot rooAllontlnn there have been rich bar keepers who have advorcated high llcenae. Fifth. UDder do Bystem of license has the short measure been'absent. Under any license that we ever bad, "sixes" and not "quarta" were tbe rule. Under the dispensary law honest measure Is given. 81xtb. Even admitting that the dUpesary la bad, It Is certainly not as objectionable to temperance men as Is tbe bar. pH: ; ? * Death of Hon. W. H. Parker. Hon. W. H. Parker of this city died In Greenville on Tuesday,; February 7,1905, and bis remains were brought back to Abbeville on Friday. A delegation went to Hodges to meet tbe corpse, and at tbe Abbeville station \ nearly all tbe old people and many of tbf younger people of the town met the train. Business houses were closed, and a great multitude attended the funeral service at tbe episcopal uiurcu, AUUC grave iuo soivitr was conducted by tbe preachers and tbe Masons. And so It Is, after nearly four score years of labor In all tbe lines of usefulness the body of Mr. Parker was laid to rest among kindred and friends who bad preceded blm to tbe spirit land. A wealth of flowers adorned the mound of clay that wrapped tbe honored dust. True and faithful In every relation Mr. Parker's fidelity and sincerity was never doubted. Whether as friend, as citizen, as lawyer, as Mason, or as Churchman he was always to be depended upon. All knew where to find him. As one who moved In tbe higher and tbe parer atmosphere, be commanded tbe good _ will and respect of all men. His life and his character are a rich heritage, and a loving people will always honor his memory. His devotion to blB children was beautiful, and tbeir emulation of his splendid character was tbe patriarch's crown. it, Senator Tillman'* Illness. Senator Tlllmau, accompanied by bis phi v alolan, is off for consultation with medical ;j men in Baltimore, out we are assured mat no :* grave apprehensions are fell fjr bis safety. Tne physician goes along wltn him out of abundant caution, or words to that effect. Well, now, we do not see wby the actual { facts may not be stated, or wby the fears may not be expressed In print. Senator Tillman ' -> la not a baby tbat he must have a physician ^ to travel about with him. At present no man in South Carolina fills bo large a place In the public eye. He has made a greater Impress upon the State than baa any other man in this generation, and the people are interested In blm, and bave a right to expect oorrect information as to his tfue condition. If he bas cancer of the throat, why not say so? Ifhehas other serious ailments, why conceal the fact? The indications are, that Senator Tillman is a very 111 man, but the people do not un i derstand the evident intention of concealing X his true condition. Increased Respect. The conviction and execution of Ex-Mayor McCue of Charlottesville, Va., Increased our respect for the Courts and tbe chief executive who refueed to pardon or commute the sentence. If other Governors had tbe backbone to refute to set aside tbe verdicts of jurors we would have fewer killings. Ifjurora In other States would convict "prominent" evil doers, as they did In Charlottesville, Va., tbe ordinary man would be more careful about taking human life. We saw by tbe newspapers that efforts were being made to save McCue from tbe gallows and we never doubted but that the Governor would find some pretext for Interfering with the action of tbe Courts. The practice of acquitting "prominent people" is so common that tbe conviction was a surprise. And we could hardly believe that the Governor would fall to give tbe desired relief in this instance. p:; __ Many men hereabout have had a merry old time of late worrying each other about the payment of their little bills. * We learn that D. H. Esq., formerly j of Abbeville, but now ol Greenwood, will be | a candleate for Solicitor of the new Judicial j district of which Abbeville. Greenwood, Salu- 1 da end Newberry will be the counties. Who are the I'iiohrisliau??? "Whv Is it I tint a'! men in a Christian land are not Christians?" It was Dr. F. Y. I'ressiy that asked thin question last week iu the Associate Ktformed Presbyterian. Because of our high personal regard for him, and because of bis blub standing In the church, and because of h!B well known conspicuous position In the world of letters, we refer to bh Inquiry, no. that we expect to teach blui anything, but that we ma,* learn something from him Outside of theologicil circles we believe jhe world concedes that the prevailing religion of a country Include? in that religion every person who does not renounce that religion or who does not embrace another religion. Then f rom a lay man's standpoint. hs a matter of fict, und as a matter of correct speech, all persons iu this country who do Dot embrace another religion, or renounce tbe prevailing religion, are Christian?. Laymen would ba interested iu knowing bow the question is regarded in tlieol ogy ????' from Itin rpcfli>n Plliiln It. would be interesting to know ibe theological dividing line which separates the Citizen in this country from Christianity. Does the Dootor draw the line at church fellowship? Does be put the "unchristian" amongj those who are In the communion, but whose lives are notoriously at variance the rules and precei-ts as.laid down by our Savior? Does be include among the "unchristian" such of his fellow-citizens as live much more nearly In accord with the Divine precepts than do the unworthy churchmen, but who. from fear of unworlbiness, do not formally take upon themselves the cburchly vows? Would the Doctor designate ms "uncbrlstlan," the man who took In Christianity with his mother's milk, and who in after life, strives to exemplify the great ana living truths of the sacred volume which are more lasting than the everlasting bills, and upon which the church itself was organized ? Would the Doctor designate as "unchristian" those who support the Christian institutions with their means ? It would be more profitable and more instructive if our beloved friend would be more explicit in hisspeecb. Let us know by what method of reasoning he came to the conclusion that a part of lhl6 people are "un christian," and upon what facts he pro. nounces judgment against his fellow citizens. And, if it be true, as the Doctor Indicates, that many of our people are "unchristian." ha miffht tell us something as to what the pulpit is doing to Christianize tbe "unoh.-lstian" bomefolk while laboring with fucb fer. vor in foreign lands. Smallpox Abonndfl. It seems that smallpox Is well scattered over tbe State, and In some places tbe officials of tbe towns or tbe Staie bave put their heels on tbe people with as much force as oould be donejln Russia, even in time of war. At Dillon, some very well meaning officers quarantined smallpox patients p.nd set armed guards about tbem. Tbe cruelty and injustice of such a course is plainly seen wben it is known that smallpox Is a preventable disease, and a disease which no one need have except at his own cbolsr. | Vaccination makes tbe cttlzen immune, and no one bas a right to complain, if be neglects a duty to himself and to bis family. To quarantine a smallpox patient is to deprive bim of bis liberty, and for that deprivation be might have a remedy in the Courts. We know of do way to make mensels a preventable disease, but still nobody ibinks o' Imprisoning a citizen who spreads tbe unpresentable disease. We even allow the keeping of pl?c penp, a fruitful source of typhoid. We sometimes quarantine the pestilential bog which spreads at. unpreventabie disease, but should tbe citizen, with a preventable disease be penned up,and kept off the streets? When people refuse or neglect to be vaccinated it is their right to have smallpox, and nobody bas a right to Interfere with or to abridge that right. If pretty women take their chances at marking their faces, why should the faces of great ugly men be guarded ? MIIch and Davlf). It would seem to U6 that it Is a proper time >o cease tbe discussion of the act of General Miles in shackling Mr. Davis. Tbe fame nn?l glory of the South's great leader is safe from harm, and it would.seem that bis friends and kindred need not now whJne and cry over the Indignity that was heaped upon him. A brave people should not do this. Some men have actually expressed greater hatred of Miles than of Pontius Pilot. Miles was n youDg man when he Bhackled Mr. Davis. He Is old now, ana no aouot ne 16 sorry lor bU mistake. Let him rest and let blm die in peace. Nothing that be has done or ran do can Injure Mr. Davis tn tbe minds and hearts of those who revere his memory. FitruicrK Will Win. With the Increased banking ability and with the farmers' determination, It seems that tbe farmer will hereafter have something to say about the price of his products. By united action the farmers have increased tbe price of cottou by at least five dollars a bale. Tbe saleof cotion has alranst stopped, but when tbe price goes up to the proper point tbe cotton mill move. Of Con rso. We see itstated that all the Southern Senators, who are on the cotnmi ttf*? to look lnt:> the advisability or tbe legality of allowing Senator Smoot of Utah, to hold hl6 seat, will vote against him. We have seen no statement to that efTect but we presume all tbe Southern Senators will vote against Swayne. It will be recollected that ail the Southern Senators,(except John L. Mcl-auren. the wisest of them all.) voted against tbe Phil'i pines. All the Southern Senators voted asa'.nst the Panama canal, or the treaty by which the canal was secured. "And all the clouds that low'r'd upon oni houses," came by way of Atlanta. Wnfcliliiulnn'n Birthday. Only a Few Hours al Uncle- Sam'N Office.

Post Master. Could do Without It ?A Boston lady bnd given her market-man her dally order over the telephohe, an.i later in the d?.v deoid> d to chant* It a little and countermand au order she had eiven for some liver. Rlnelng up her market man she snW: "You remember that I eave au order for a pound ofllver a while ago?" "Yen." was the reply. "Well. I find that I do not need it, and you need not send It." Belore she could put down the receiver she heard the market-man say to some one In the store : "Takeout Mrs. Blank's liver. She says she can get along without it." When a man does not get cross with his wife and say rude things when they get to the theature late, it is a sign that he isn't married to her yet. A good way to break into society is to get a brass drill plentifully ornamented with gold and precious stones. Wheu everybody else admits tbat they are wrong and that you are right the millenium will be iu full bloom. i Tlie Andemon Mail. Tlio Andersou Daily Mall has been changed froin a morning pr.per to nn evening paper, f, It is dow printed hi Jour o'c'ork In the evening. The evening newspapers are always Interesting to us but whether ttie Daily Mull ic r.rlnlc.1 in f h A fVPnlDff Or In the Vr morning, It 1h equally interesting. The L Mill gets the news. Its editorials are always readable and entertaining. Brave and courageous in the expression of Its own opinions, the editor always accords to those who dl tier from him, houesty and sincerity of puvpose. The Mall is good humored, " honest and fair. Whether ?he Mall agrees or disagrees in the discussion <<f matters before the public it always ci ducts itself as a ^ gentleman, and never faU> m accord to the "other fellow" credit for ilkr* i leh principle. Having the ability and the ready wit to take care of itself, it has never, as far as we now r?-co!lect, forget its own self-respect and has never failed to be polite while assertlDg Its ^ opinions. Able to take care of itself the Mail is not forced to resort to the practice of assailing character, nor does it need to Impute motives to others. The Mail Is a paper that has a high regard for the sacrednei>s of character. EAST END. YVImt "H" Si'cs anil IIearn on IIiM Jtounrfs in Country and in Town. Feb. 15,1005. A CHEAP TP.IP.

(Washington Post) We note in the esteemed Atlanta onstitutiou another evidence of the outheru tendency to take to heart^the ostile comments of Northen newspa2rs, whether they proceed from hon>t iguorauce or deliberate misrepresitation. Some days ago, for inance, the Philadelphia Press indulg1 itself in a throughly characteristic mKot if ia nloaooH t a rnr\rn_ utr ieuuc i\i wuav it iv ivpv- j yt to its readers as "conditions at the >utb." Whether it knew better, we jve no means of knowing. This Is hat it said; "Booker Washington says that the jgroes of Georgia own over $30,000, 10 in taxable property, though it is isessed at 18,700,000, or in the same oportion as that of the white man ut however much property they may vu, it doesjnot qualify them in that :ate to vote. It speaks well for the igroes, who not very long ago were aves, that they have acquired that uch property in a State where they e discriminated against in so many ays by law and custom. Given [iial opportunities in education and herwise aud the negroes will be able i look out for themselves." Whereupon, the Constitution, proteds to explain, at great length, and ( ith affectionate attention to detail, lat the Georgia laws do not make the ast mention of literacy as a necessary lalification for the suffrage, or preiribe auy otber condition which can y the most riotous exercise of ingeu- I ity be construed as a discrimlation against the negro. Careilly analyzing the statutes bearing pon this question, it goes on to say: "If there is anything that does qualy a negro to vole in the state of Geor- < ia, that thing should be the posseson of taxable property, for in Geora suffrage is based on a clean tax resipt. Georgia is one of ttye Southern tates tbat have never aoridged the egroe's privilege of suffrage by makig literacy the basis of eligibility. If le negroe pays his*poll tax, just as a bite voter must pay his poll tax, he in vote in Georgia, and many of lem do pay their poll tax and vote. ; is a fair presumption that the Geora negroes who pay taxes on $18,700, 10 of taxable nronertv do vote, for iat class of negroe is able and apt to jep up his poll tax. The grossly igoraut and iudigeut negro is not like to keep up his poll tax, and his sufage is by no means desirable." It seems to us that tiie Philadelphia res9 sufficiently refuted its own aclsation in the first place. If the eorgia negroes have accumulated $30, I0,U00 of taxable property, and have ?en permitted to "swear it in" at $18, )0.000, clearly they are treated ex;tly as the whites are, and cannot see p the smallest complaint of injusce or oppression. The mere fact iat they have been able to make all lis money shows that they receive fery possible encouragement and rotection at the hands of their white How citizens. The further fact that ley are assessed on the same reduced iiuuuuu is auswei cuuugu ,iu an nuunsical gabble about discrimination. >?r the re.*?t?the *>tory of disfranchiseeut?why should any Southern iwspaper concern stself with the silly >r fal-e) accusations of the Philadeliia Press?
