The Columbia Record winces at our exposure of its hypocrisy, and replies to our warning to Prohibitionists against being sandbagged by footpads, by re ferring to us as, "That variegated ass." The employing of such epithets will not aid in its hypo critical efforts to assume an un natural position, they must be blind indeed to not be able to see the motives prompting The Re cord in advocating prohibition, and it is such friends (?) that the cause of prohibition should pray to be delivered from. The Record says its advocacy of prohibition, "is a natural out growth of the State dispensary law," and makes this assertion with as straight a face, as ever "a pirate scuttled a ship." It will not deceive anybody, The Record's record istoo wellknown; the people throughout the State well remember how that paper flooded every nook and corner with its pleadings for the reten tion of the State dispensary, its denunciation of prohibition, and its defense of those who were suspected of being steeped in crime.The reading public knows, in making the effort to stay the people's wrath and save that hive of corruption, the Record was not prompted by patriotic motives, but that it was believed to be in the em ploy. of those interested in the retention of that despised insti tution. Has The Record been the beneficiary of the liquor inter ests? Does The Record deny re ceiving money from liquor men? Has anybody interested in The Record appealed to liquor men for funds? We ask these questions with a purpose to lay the foundation for contradiction. There is no sense in epithets and replying with such terms as, "That varie gated ass," it does not add any force to the argument, it rather shows the blink ings of dishonest eyes when the strong white light of truth is flashed in its face. Nor does it aid to misrepresent facts with =regard to The State's past rela tions to THE TIMES. So far as we can recollect The State has always been very courteous to THE TIMEs, and has frequent ly honored us with reproducing our editorials; we have frequent ly differed with The State, and it iaas with us, but that was all. There was at one time a member of its staff whose father's can didacy for governor we opposed, which brought on a personal controversy, not with The State, but with the man referred to, and this could have been avoided possibly, had mutual explana tions been made. The State is an honorable antagonist, it fights fair; it does not resort to villifi cation for argument, it is not a hyprite, it is not a professional leg-puller, it does not advocate policies for revenue only, it does not desert its principles, its edi torial columns are not sold, it is honest. "The record has no apologies to make for being the first daily to come out squarely for prohi bition," neither has the thief any apologies to make when he joins in tne hue and cry of "stop thief" to mislead the public. The record now supporting pro hibition as "the natural out growth of the State dis pensary law" is the cheek iest utterance we have ever read from it, when we consider the very recent past attitude of that pa-: per. The dollar should not blind the Record to all shame, for the sake of decency. if it will reverse itself then have the manhood to acknowledge the truth, that its1 principles are solely mercenary; whether it makes this acknow - ledgement or not, it is our opin - ion that the Record's advocacy of~prohibition is insincere, and we would much prefer be ing regarded in the opin ion of the Record, as "That variegated ass".than in public es timation; an editorial skunk. We regret to note the growing opposition to the immigration movement in this State. In our opinion it is a mistake to take a backward step, but if the politi cian have their way the bureau of immigration so recently estab lished will be destroyed. The knickerbocker Trust Co. and otherlarge banking concerns in New York are in a very pan icky condition, several broker age concerns have gone to the wali. the great American center is trembling, and in our Opinion the financial depression in New York accounts for the present decline in cotton. We further believe that as soon as these wvater ladenedl concerns are squeezed enough to have the water wrung out of their stock, things will get back to a normal There is a rumorabroad in the land that the commision to wind up the State dispensary will soon make a report which will be startling in its nature, and which will be followed with the prose cution of some people who are high up. What their is in this rumor we have not been able to find out, but we shall wait and see. The letter written by State Superintendent Martin to Gov vernor Ansel with regard to the latter's appointment of Mr. Hayne Rice as a member of the State Board, was indeed a un fortunate display of bad temper, and many think that Martin is sore, because of disappointment in securing the appointment of some favorite. The appointing power is in the hands of the governor, and at long as the present governor is in office he will use it as his: and not any body else's, judgment dictates. It would not surprise us to learn there is method in Martin's mad ness, and that he will oppose Ansel for re-election. Deafness Cannot be Cured by localapplications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu Lional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflam ed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear ing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition.hearing wil be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catirrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.

The management of Chicora College last evening presented to an appreciative audience the the faculty of its School of Mu sie and Dramatic Art. It is safe to say that probably no school in the State can offer a finer ar ray of artists in their special de partments. As the Director of Music, Chic ora was certainly most fortunate to secure Dr. H, H. Bellamann, a well-rounded musician, a pian ist of rare ability, and an organ ist of note, as well as being a composer of high rank. Two of his own compositions appeared on the program, and were enthu siastically received. He demon strated his thorough musician ship at the piano, proving him self a most magnetic performer. He may be said to the distinctly lyric in style. His melody work is particularly beautiful, and his phrasing refined. Though re served in his handling of the piano, his work leaves the im pression of being intenselo sub jective. There is no doubt he has his own ideas and plays them into the composition with great emotional warmth. Madame Bellamann is at the head of the voice department and her singing won popularity for her with her very first number. She is an exponent of the bell canto school, and there is no doubt that this method produces the greatest singers. Those who heard Madame Bellaman's al most flawless singing last night went away convinced that much may be expected of her pupils. She is not only a most charming singer, but an enthusiastic tea cher, and it is a noticeable fact that her department has t.1ebled itself since she has been in charge of it. Madame Willimon played like the artist she is. Her violin is her medium for the expression of a wonderful depth of emotion. This department also is making rapid strides. Miss Graham showed herself well capable of handling the most difficult selections with a technique unusual and a crisp, pure tone quality that is delight ful. Miss Young, the director of the School of Dramatic Art, was all that one could wish; she is a charming and graceful teacher of expression. Her reading pro cesses every quality of a finished and successf al platform reader. She is equally at home in depic ting~ the deep, serious phase of human character and the rollick ing gayety of utter irresponsi bility. Her appearance were greeted with warm applause. Dr. Byrd has gathered togeth er a company of artists and Chicora College Conservatory stands well at the front. Not only Greeuville is to be congrat ulated on the acquisition of these finished musicians, but the State of S. C. may well be proud of them. Pinewood Pickups.

THE NEED OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEMPERANCE LESSON. Some of us remember that in our younger days there were no temperance lessons in Sunday School. Some may remember the presistent effort to those who year after year beseiged the Tun ternational Committee, and se cured and have kept one temper ance lesson each quarter in our lesson series. So many good people did not see the need of any specific les sons on temperance, believing that if the truths of the Bible were taught and the heart re sponded to them, the temper ande question would settle itself. Some say so now, and give scant time aad interest to the temper ance lesson when it comes. They do not realize the tre mendous need for such teaching. They do not realize that from the first of Genesis to the last of Revelations the Bible is full of prohibition, total abstinence, temperance. it is the great text book in these lines. It should be taught more presistently, more wisely, in these days when men have sought out many in ventions, and intemperance, al lied with the greed and avarice of men, in grasping at all depart ments of human interest, send ing its poison into the minds, hearts and soul of young and old1 Christian and unbeliever alike, deceiving "even the very elect," with "patent medicines," and with false reasoning-notably re submission and license! It is quite time that we should follow the directions Moses gave to the childreu of Israel when he rehearsed to them the wonder ful dealing of the Lord with them the blessings and the cursing which would follow their obedi ence or their disobedience: "And ye shall teach them to your chil dren, speaking of them when thon sittest down in thy house and when thou walkest by the ways, when thou liest down ar-d when thou risest up, and thou shalt write them upon the door post of thine house and upon thy gates." All through the Bible are rec ords of the downfall of nations whose sins included intemper ance whose rulers were drunken. Even the chosen people we.ze warned, punishod, corrected; for bhe evil was in the world, and hey fell before it. Their proph ats cried woes on the drunkards >f Ephraim, and the later proph ts echo the woes which shall ~ome to the drinker, and do not aogt to voice the woe of himI who sells. Habakkuk says, "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor a drink, that putteth thy bottle to him and maketh him drunken also." In the New Testament the struggle goes on. Jesus came to save His people from their sins. The need is great. Paul: in his letters calls attention to it. -No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of heaven." It is a small thing that the children be taught to shun the evil, to nnderstand the danger, to be fortified by pledges against it, to work for the final overthrow of this system of evil which has so intrenched itself in our nation shall the churches neglect the Bible teachieg and so leaves its children and yonth open to temp tation and liable through iguor ance to fall into the clutches of this monster waiting to destroy their body and soul? Let us rather stand faithfully and deter minedly on guard in curch. school, home, town and State, is is that when the reckoning time shall come we can say gladly, "Here am I, Lord, and the chil dren who came under my care." -Mrs. M.
