Mr. Rice is a strong prohibitionist, and as one or more of these counties is dry and has been for nineteen ; years* he inquired into conditions there. He says the law is observed ' well, and they have fine schools and other improvements with low taxes. He says prohibition has proved a blessing there. ?Mr. D. H.

Quite a strong article from his pen appeared simultaneously in the Christian Advocate and Hampton Guardian not long since, in opposition to the whiskey traffic. 9 I BOLD OUTLAW CAPTURED. Wounded, he Crawls Through Woods and is Betrayed by his Brother. Karrisburg, Pa., August 8.?Alfred Kinard, a Perry County outlaw, lies seriously wounded in the Harrisburg Hospital as the result of a desperate battle in a small mountain setlement north of this city, where he yesterday morning attempted to rob the store of Lewis Myers. Holding up the entire hamlet at the point of his revolver, Kinard entered the store, but was interrupted by Oscar Heisley, who procured a revolver and opened fire on the des perado. Kinard fell after a half dozen shots had been exchanged, but was up and away into the thick underbrush before his pursuers could capture him. He was badly wounded in the left thigh, but managed to hide himself until the chase was abandoned and then crawled over the mountain and through the woods to the home of his brother,! Amos Kinard, several miles distant. | Bleeding and almost unconscious, he begged his brother to take him. in and hide him. His brother took him in, but immediately sent for an officer and Kinard was hurried to the Harrisburg Hospital. All Whiskey Contraband. Columbia, S. C., Aug. 7.?In view of the liquor elections in the twentyone dispensary counties in the State on the 17th of August, the weekly and semi-weekly newspapers of the State appear to be studying the drastic provisions of the new prohibition act more closely, and many objections are pointed out. Section one, making whiskey brought into the State for personal use strictly, seizable anywhere it is found, is causing particular concern. Under this section all liquor is declared "contraband and against the morals, good health and safety of the State," and under this section any man's private parlor may be raided by officers and his decanter of wine on his sideboard seized and confiscated. Practically all the remainder of the act, except those sections providing for the elections on the 17th, maps out the course druggists must pursue to be allowed to sell alcohol for strictly medical and scientific and mechanical purposes and wine for sacramental and religious purposes. It doea- not seem likely that many druggists will qualify as the requirements are too tedious and dangerous even if all were perfectly conscientious about desiring to stay within the law. In the first place a bond of $5,000 is required, and for a violation not only this bond, but the druggist's license to do business as a druggist will be forfeited. No liquors of any kind, not even on a physician's prescription, may be sold for even medical purposes, wine for strictly sacramental and religious purposes alone being allowed. Alcohol may be sold for medicinal purposes only on prescription, and all these prescriptions must be filed in triplicate with the clerk of court, city authorities and one copy posted in a conspicuous place. Apparently the druggists of the State are fearful that the next legislature will go further and provide for eolo ft# Hftiift* nnHpr AArtain rp IUV OOiV V4 4A^i*v* strictions by druggists. For a few days ago at Anderson the State Pharmaceutical Association, in session at Anderson, adopted a set of resolutions saying: "We put ourselves on record as opposing any law that tends to put in the hands of the druggists the sale of intoxicating liquors or beverages of any kind, or the responsibility for the sale of the same. We instruct our legislative committee to do all in their power to prevent such legislation." Another item which has received little attention, but which is sure to arouse much comment in the next legislature, is the cost of these elections which will have to be shared by the twenty-one counties already dry. "I believe the elections in the 21 counties will cost quite as much as the last general State election, about $25,000," said Secretary of State McCown to-day. "True only twentyone counties are affected, but the printing bill will offset the difference, the entire act as well as the lists of managers of election being published in all the newspapers of each of the counties. There is no appropriation to meet this expense. They will simply have to wait on the legislature next spring providing for this." ^ / State of Ohio, City of Toledo, ss Lucas County. Frank J.

A telegram from Marion, Ind., says: For two hours to-day Maj. George W. Steele, governor of the soldiers home here, was in a great perplexity owing to a strike of the waitresses in the institution. The trouble arose over an order which requires all persons not employed in the home to leave the reservation at 9 o'clock. A few nights ago some of the young men callers were ordered from the grounds and the waitresses filed complaints, insisting that their company be allowed to remain after taps. The demand was not complied with and just as dinner was announced the waitresses walked out in a body. Janitors and others were summoned, the veterans were patient and the dinner was finally served. When Maj. Steele tried to settle the trouble the waitresses would not hear of any compromise. They wanted their company to remain a reasonable time, saying that the young men did not and could not come till about 8 o'clock, and it was unreasonable to limit their stay to one hour. The matter was finally settled, and it is thought that Maj. Steele surrendered gracefully after having been reminded of his own youth and the longings incident to it, but neither he nor the waitresses will talk of the settlement. Xegro Splits Another's Head. Spartanburg, August 7.?Ed. Thomas, a young colored boy, was arrested to-night on the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, striking J. H. Cooper, another colored boy, in the head with a rock, fracturing the skull. The wounded boy was taken to the hospital, and a large portion of his skull was taken out. Pieces of the bone were found embedded in the brain, and very little hope is entertained for the boy's life. Widow Horsewhips Man. Asheville, N. C., Aug. 4.?The sud-: den departure of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Lawhorn, of Spartanburg, S. C., j from Canton, where they have been I spending part of the summer, was yesterday explained by Mrs. E. Clyde ivnigni, 01 rtuuitj, u<t., a uug wjuvn in deep mourning, who is spending a few weeks at the same house. They met on coming to Canton, -1 " j ?4- +v?rt an a sne ScUU, uuu ucmg a l iuc oai house, were often thrpwn together in company with others. A few days ago, she alleged, she was insulted by Lawhorn. She did , not say of what the insult consisted. After thinking over what she could do for twenty-four hours, she declares she got a big horse whip and, late in the afternoon, went to a point within a few hundred feet of the house where Mr. and Mrs. Lawhorn were staying and sent a boy for Lawhorn. When he came, according to her story, she gave him the whipping of his life. Later she called Mrs. Law- i horn and, in her presence, demanded and received apologies. Lawhorn's face was severely lashed, and this, it is said, was commented on by several at the time, though none knew the cause. He left town on the next train, it is said. A horse whip, badly worn, with several knots to make it more effective, bore evidence that it had not been used sparingly. Mrs. Knight is a young woman of - i- ~ JA pleasing appearance, sue is ui a uccidedly retiring nature and to know her one would not think her capable of planning and carrying out such j a punishment as she told of having meted out to Lawhorn. She is a farmer's daughter and has spent her life near Rome, Ga., coming to Canton for a part of each summer. Her husband died recently, and she is now in deep mourning. < We never can create a public senti- ; ment strong enough to suppress the dram-shops until God's people take ( hold of temperance reform as a part ' of their religion.?Rev. T. L. Cuy- , ler, D. D. The Brotherhood of Man. "Behold, how good and how pleasant is for' brethren to dwell to- ! gether in unity!" Does the use of whiskey bring about this blissful state of affairs? Just the reverse; it is a separator of friends and neighbors, making us live in direct opposi- ! tion to the way God intends us. Does it fnstpr natriotism? Hear what one ! man says, "There is no place in the world for a drunkard?a man without a country." The Bible tells us there is no place for him in heaven. < His condition is Indeed pitiful. Perhaps your vote has helped to make ; so. Are you going to let him walk i right into the serpent's jaws, when ' you might save him if you will try? < "What hast thou done? The voice i of thy brother's blood cries to me i from the ground." This is a tines- i tion still asked, though ages have i passed. Men of Bamberg, God made < you for nobler purposes than this. : Stop and think what you are doing. : The saddest feature of it is that not i only are the evils being felt now, but 1 will be long after we are moldering ' in the dust. "Man's inhumanity to \ man makes countless millions mourn." Greed for gain has brought all this woe upon mankind. There is a law for the prevention of cruelty to animals; how about the helpless babes and women? Can you license the destruction of these? "Hear the children cry for pity from the cruel heart of greed; See them trampled into silence by the monster while they plead! Be quick, my patriot, brother, to the recoup lpt nc snppH The whiskey shops must go." You do well, Mr. Editor, to warn the people against patent medicines. It is the alcohol in them that buoys up the patient and deludes him into thinking he is being helped, when in reality it is killing him. Alcohol is like the deadly vampire which fans the victim with its wings, lulling him into insensibility, while it sucks his very life blood. One of your correspondents tries to confine drinking to the negro. This will not do. Whiskey i s no respecter of persons. The most intelligent, the bravest, the best, alike fall before this relentless god. Perhaps some of you are resting in fancied security, thinking your children are small and in no danger. Young America catches on to the vices very soon, especially in towns where they are unemployed. "A busy man has only one devil to contend with, an idle one a thousand." A dispensary can't be run without men any more than an oil mill without seed. It may be your boy will help to swell the ranks. It will be too late then to cry. "A prudent man forseeth the evil and hideth himself, the simple pass on and are punished." Helen Keller, who is deprived of the faculties of seeing, hearing, and speaking, consequently her other faculties are keener and more sensitive than ours, says: "I believe that we will draw nearer and more near the time, when no man can live at his ease while another suffers." "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve," God or mammon? You can't serve both. Decide quickly. There is not much fight in a soldier who does not know which side he is on. "Democrat's" view of the situation is unique. It seems that this subject provokes thought. When people begin to think, they will soon begin to act. ' "Halts the Christ kingdom, with conquest so near? Thou art the cause, then, thou man at the rear, Move to the fore." The dispensary has the exclusive ?ale of whiskey and can palm off anything on the public; the profit feature making the temptation irres'stable. Judging from the effects the "chemically pure" must be vile stuff. Many of your brothers have fallen by the wayside. Are you going to hold yourself aloof, like the priest and the Levite, or will you, like the good Samaritan, with your vote, assist him to arise and try to win him back into the path of sobriety? Acccording to Milton the devil was cast out of heaven on account of his ambition. Ever since he has been brooding over his lost paradise, and, as a revenge, goes about in the earth trying to change good into evil. From the beginning this serpent which is more subtle than any beast of the field, has brought woe in his wake. The mighty conflict in which we are soon to engage is no child's play. We are going to battle with the devil who is second in authority only to the Deity. Thousands of vassals stand ready to do his bidding. See this Prince of Darkness as he stalks through the earth, shaking his sable plumes, and muttering vengeance on the inbahitants of the earth. .A formidable opponent, one to be dreaded. Can we conquer him? Yes. There is one way?only one. Listen. While a student at Columbia College, I heard Dr. Darby, who was then president, relate a dream that had so great an influence over him that it changed the whole trend of his life, transforming him from a giddy youth into the polished, Christian gentleman that he was. He dreamed that a mighty monster was advancing towards him. Compared with this giant, he was a mere pigmy. As the monster bore down upon him, threatening to crush out his existence, beads of sweat came upon his brow. In mortal terror he breathed the name "Jesus." Instantly the monster receded. If he forgot the source of his strength, the giant would return, threatening him as before. There is one mightier than the devil. We can conquer by trusting in Him. Remember the magic name "Jesus." This is the talisman that will lead you to victory. Column after column has been devoted by the papers to the interest Df the devil. Don't allow this to disturb you. "An empty wagon always makes the most noise." This will vanish as the mists before the sun. By faith Joshua compassed the walls of Jericho and they fell. These walls built up by the devil and his allies will fall. Even now they are tottering. "Fear not, be of good courage." Jehovah himself leads you. Let us work while it is day. Swift the day of life is passing, Soon will fall the shades of night; Urge we then the glorious conflict, Battling hard in love's great might, Burst the tyrant bands asunder; Set the wretched captive free; Let rejoicing wives and mothers Shout "the year of jubilee." Allow me _to congratulate you, citizens of tfamoerg, upon your prompt action in organizing a law and order league and upon your avowed determination to enforce the law. It rests with the law-abiding citizens whether prohibition will be a farce or a force. The blind tigers are going to try their strength. The more liberty you give them, the more aggressive will they become. An ounce of prevention now is worth a pound of cure later. Nip lawlessness in the bud. Prompt action will save time, money, and perhaps blood. The smaller towns should do likewise. PRO BONO PUBLICO. > . . , ; , ? .
