[Concluded from second pnge.J
edge, is trying to prove by tbe
Bible that whiskey selling is authorized
by that sacred Book.
All other advocates in their defense
of evil havo dehed the Bible,
but in South Carolina wo have the
deplorable spectacle of the lending
reprecentative citizen of the
State, the Senior United States
Senator, quoting the Bible as authority
to sustain him in the fallacious
argument that the drinking
of liquors as a beverage is
right and that it logically follows
that whiskey selling is right. Such
preaching is sacriligious and dan*
gerous to an alarming degree, and
it is no wonder that he cannot get
the people to follow him in endorsing
his damnable heres} ; but
are rebuking h:tn instead by voting
out the dispensaries by overwhelming
majorities in tbe counties
whore he speaks it. The
teaching of the Bible is that we
are to abstain from the very appearance
of evil and ull are agreed
that whiske\ is the greatest of all
evils that we have to contend with.
In every county where an election
has yet been held tbe dispensary
has been voted out in spite
of all efforts to save it. The
smallest majority given up to this
time has been 2 to 1; from that it
has ranged to 6 to 1, proving coo
clusively that the people do not
want *t. And why do such a
small minority want to force upon
them an evil that they de not
want. The people will not up
hold the wrong tor any great
length of time. As soon as they
can ho made to see the wrong they
will repudiate it and no amonnt
of revenge or graft can bribe or
silence the conscience of a whole
commonwealth.
In 1892 Lancaster county voted
agaihst whiskey by a majority of
FIVE to ONE. We know her
people. Her men are as chivalrouo
and guardful of their homes
and the welfare of their wives and
children as the men of any county
in any State. They were heroes
to VrtH*Kand they are heroes in
peace. They, will settle this momentous
question Tuesday, Oct.
3rd, '?and they will settle it
RIGHT. ?Just watch the overwhelming
victory that they will
?ive for prohibition. We hope it
will be the biegesl yet. At least
1 to 1 or more.
One Who Will Vote Right.

Rev. Sir: Iq makiug pastoral
visits, of course, you do not consider
your pleasure or comfort
or ease ; you go where your people
live. But you have two sets
of feelings in going about?can't
help it?we &J1 have. But you
especially have; for a part of
your business is sympathy.?
Well kept lawns and well-tilled
fields, nice homts p.od n'ce people,
are cheerful to "ou, as they
are to everyone. Tumble-down
buildings, poor fences, men harrassed
by burdens too heavy for
theta, overwoiked women, and
dirty-faced children, you may be
strong to get, with ; but you
