' Judging"fromthe following clipped fronr the Keowee Courier prohibition is p-oviug tobe very :A satisfactory in Oconee county: "It is reported to U3 that a drunk en man was seen in Walhalla last Saturday. It's a rare animal in this community, and>the next one that appears should be csged."

The man . who amuses the audience by tell ing fuuny jokes is not always the one who makes the best speech. Generally Buch a speaker says far less than one who discusses the issues of the day in detail. *..-:-:-: Herm ia what Sheriff J. W. San ders says concerning prohibition in Union county : "When the dis pensary was here, the jail was ~N nearly full. JNow it is often almost empty. There is not one-fifth the drunkenness in this county now Jh.at there was in dispensary days, . 'and I do not believe the .majority of the people would have the djs .pen??ry back." Prohibition is suppressing li - qu/or in Edgefield, all statements I tprtj?e . contrary notwithstanding.

ROSE COTTAGE. A Voice From Parksville Again Raised Against Whiskey. Mr. Editor: I write bun ledi/ to-day while I am resting, tu thauk you for your reply tn Bro. Jas. P. Bean. Bro. Bean is a good fellow, but I hardly took his first article seriously, as I know Bri. Bean loves to"argify," and having uothiug else to do, and great learn ing, simply wrote for amusement. I think your fir6t reply grand and your second better. No one knows better than,Bro. Temperance-that the Bible ie an, aticieut book representing an an cient civilization and must be in terpreted in the light of these facts. The Scripture he quotes is all right, but we know that the wines drunk then were made from fruits, aud a person that had the stomach of a cow that could hold a gallon and was hogg'sb ."enough, could get dr?nk cn it, but the peo ple drank it for ils fruit flavor, and as a food, it haviug a very small per cent of alcohol. Why Bro. Bean could prove polygamy by the Old Testament and I hard ly know where to expect him to hop up next. Civilization has been improved since David's time, the man after God's own heart about whom Bro. Bean wrote in his first arti cle. David was a very great and good mau, if he did drink wine, b'uf neewaa also a polygamist. We *vpuld -.hardly expect ^Bro. Bean time, but. -b?: thi? teach ihgand life of the lowly Nazarene, the spirit of which is against the 'teach?bg of our brother. '?? . . "Avoid the very appearance of evil''is. the spirit of the Master. Seriously, Mr. Editor, I" don't think the position of our friend is worth noticing extendedly. The spirit of the New Testament is against;-him ; science is against him,-because * it' is practically agreed among all scientists that al'ochol is a poison, and we/dou't believe our God would send us a message by even so good a man aa Mr..Bean, to teach our chil dren tb. take a'poison as a bever age: . - - '?However particular we should ba to cadtioif-"Hiern'" against ex cess, experience ie against him, for we have k:nowu drunkards made by his formula; reason is against' him,: because we till know that.hut for the first 'drink, there would be no drunkards ; cou science is against him, because no man however diuuken he may be,.can conscientiously teach his children lo ta~ke a poison; even moderately as a beverage ; com mon eeuso is against him, because the veriest fool on earth kuow6 that there has never been a better plan suggested to make drunkards, tha_n_to teach it to children. * ?l?ow j?e; Mr."Editor, to close by quoting a part of my report to the association and re-affirm the position then taken on the liquor question. I said: The'caree of God is ?pon it, the prayers of Christian tv^men.-are against it ;..the tears ol aignish ihedj&y broken-hearted ?vives; ~-a~ud 1 neglected'" children L'ise up i? passionate pro';esi against it; the blood of those who have::been:.slaiu ; by strong drink 1 ?ries-q?t agahi6t.it. . . ,-, In the name of fathers and .
