Wp have been requested to re-publish th? following extract from an interviow ... ....1.1;..1.^,1 M'llll senator Olllier, hiih.ii v?u |iiiuii.nir>i Nome time ago, in which tlie Senator gives expression soino sentiments on I the temperance and prohibition questions' that may be ol' interest at this time: "The Hocinl. moral and religious forces v>f communities should bo organized B'^dTiht the evil of intemperance, of eatInfc rs Well as drinking, but yon may as well attempt to legislate against the one ns the other. Constitutional and statutory prohibitions are fallacies and failures. They do not prohibit. They inculcate doctrines and habits of evasion, liynrocisy and perjury, that demoralize unci undermine society tiv>re ett'ectnallv' than the use of strong drink. Prohibition bv the force of an enlightened public opinion is a much surer safeguard than legislative prohibition, and is always as strong ana eninent as mo mumuvui. which creates it."?Edgefield Chronxbic? j The above remarks of Senator Butler have been widely circulated, and the op- j ponents of Prohibition seem to have been greatly comforted. The only striking ? thing at all about the matter is the alliteration in tho words, "Does Prohibition Prohibit?"' and the only astonishing thing to us is, that Senator Rutler should at this time array himsolf not only against tho temperance movement which is going on all ovor the country, but that 5ie should use his powerful influence to flood the country with free whiskey and tobacco, while our clothing, our coffee and our rice are taxed beyond endurance. "Does Prohibition Prohibit?" . We auswer, most positively, that it does prohibit, and we assert that there can be no denying tuo iuci, no manor wuai juhhcious figures may b3 brought topiove the contrary. Docs the law against murder encourage the killing of our neighbor? Does the law against theft encourage dishonesty? Does tho law against forgery promote the crirre? Does the law against duelling encourage the commission of a crime so offensive as that of shooting a neighbor? Does the law against any immoral act promote the evil? Until Senator Butler can answer these questions in tho affirmative his reasoning against the Prohibitory law will go for naught. If these laws eneotirago the evils which thev are intended to sup pre*?, then all our theories of government are at error, aud the sooner we re- j peal all lawt?, the belter for our people. We would then certainly need "an enlightened public opinion," which would 1 need be strong enough to restrain the 5BvIl doer. Why should tho law against the sale of \vhiskey have such an evil effect as to "inculcate the doctrine and habits of evasion, < hyprocisy and perjury, that demoralize and undermine society more effectually than the use of strong drink ?" Words were never uttered which bear upon their face more strongly the Impress of error! end false reasoning. Does his experience; und observation of the working of the lo- j cal Prohibitory^ law, satisfy General But-! ler, that tho people of the "dry" towns j have become a crowd of liars and hypo- j crites? Is all tho truth and virtue to be found assembled around the whiskey 6hops at the different cross-roads, while; the places which have no whiskey aroj crowded with all manner of liars and j hypocritos? No; Spnator Butler's reasoning is as unjust and insulting to the; temperance people, as it is erroneous.' Why docs not some of the other laws,! which are on our statute books, demoralize our people ? It seems that General j Butler believes that a Prohibitory law is! th*only one which would produce liars' and hypocrites. A large percent, of the| progressive towns in this State have local j prohibitory laws. We should like to: know the ratio of the Incease of liars and j hypocrites in those towns, which have! done so foolish a thing as to shut up the, whiskey shops which encouraged morality, and promoted truth and honest dealing ? According to Senator Butler's rea-! Boning the towns which have been "dry" I from the beginning, would by this time! have produced a most prodigious crop of j well-defined liars and hypocrites. It is indeed strange that the temperance work* -ers have not discovered that "dry" towns are full of these offenders while the "wet" towns are composed of people who! are the ideal of honor, of virtue, of truth j and of sincerity. Will Senator Butlerj give the exact facts and figures to show wherein the "dry" towns have more liars; and hypocrites than the towns which are; full of whiskey? Will he say that the! people of Barnwell county will develop' a race of liars and hypocrites because ofl their lack of barrooms, while Edgefield! county, under the benign influenoo of! moral barroonjs will produce a peoplej who shall be the ve.-y pink of perfection ! in the christian graces? The town of Due West, in Abbeville j county has never had a bar-room. Will j Senator Butler say that the government; of that town "inculcates doctrines and habits of evasion, hypocrisy and perjury?" ? ? The Notice to Hunters. v; Elsewhere in theso columns may be found an advertisement by several property owners warning hunters against entry upon their lauds. These notices, we think, are the legitimate result of the stock law, and land owners are beginning to insist upon their bound-] arv lines being a proper stopping place, j Notices similar to the one which we pub-i lish to-day may be found in many of onr exchanges, and in a little while it would seem that the habit of hunting will bo very seriously interfered with. These notices, so fur as we are informed are prompted from various reasons. A few of the farmers may object to fox hunt- j Ing, while many others oltjeet to thei hunting of game at night when torches; are necessary, and when the risk from! fire is to be considered. Manv fences I have been destroyed by this means at j different times in different places, and! this fact has caused others to take steps j which might prevent the possibility of; such an occurrence on their farms. Others object to hunting on the places from ihe fact that hunters too often cut the finest specimens of the forest in order to necure a poor little opossum, worth perhaps ten cents, when a dollar tree was dostroyed in its capture. Besides the loss of timbers in such cases, it sometimes happens that trees are felled in the water courses, from which place it is necessary to remove them at much expense to the farmer. Others do not object for their friends to enjoy a hunt for game on their places, but because of certain intrusion by a few persons, they make the notice general without any desire to enfore the law against their friends. Others do not like the privacy of their fstrms interrupted whereby their cattle, sheep or other animals are frightened and sometimes subjected to the ravages of vicious dogs. Then again it sometimes happens that fences are laid down which enclose stock. Others feel that tbev are tlieinselves entitled to whatever game or fish may be upon their own farms. Those and many other reasons have prompted the publication of the advertisements of whhh we speak. Each man t is legally entitled to the full enjoyment of whatever land he may own, and none will dispute the right, and we know that no huuter will disregxird the notice, though if any of them should accidentally get over on forbidden ground, we feel sure that land-owner would not prosecute tbern for an unintentional violation of tho notice. We hope that the hunters may regard the rights of the land-owner, and that the land-owner may be neighborly and clever with those who may happen to violate the notice. The low of life and the destruction of property by the storm is appalling. It seems that the atorm was divided into several cyclone*, and each spread destruction and death in its path. \y . We see it stated that the New Y^rlc Scralil prpdir^sd tbi* *tcrm,*ns early m Sunday morning -"I"-. - ' !'- L J The C'yolono. F.vcr since the storm our peoplo hnv< manifested th s graatest anxiety to heai the particulars, and numbers of person; applied to us daily for copies of the latesi i newspapers. The extracts which we publish in reference to the storm art tiisiiiilv fmtn (!?> Stihnln A m>ii fhp W?/\' j and Courier, the Columbia Register, th( | Charlotte Observer, the Xewberry Observer, and the Augusta Chronicle. Dozen* | of other articles, sitnilur in detail, with f j cnange of names and places, could hgvt j been furnished from our exchanges. The storm which passed over a portion of this county last Tuesday evening, did much damage to tho farms in its tracks' from Bordeaux to Bradley. All tin. houses on the farms of 1*. Rosenberg ^ Co., were blown down and tho timber* scattered for a considerable distance. All of Mr. Ford's houses wero destroyed, Mr. J. J. Hussy's barn was unroofed Mr. Jack Tullis lost all his houses. Mr, G. B. McCaslan lost all his houses, except his dwelling. Mrs. Klizaboth Puckett's houses were all blown down, in eluding dwelling. Mrs. Mary Bradley'* houses were all blown down, exeepl dwelling. All of Mr. James I'uckott'f out bouses and half of his dwelling was blown down. Strange to say that no lives wore losl in all the wreck, until the town of Brad|1?3' was reached, where nearly all the houses Wefe blown down. Mrs. Dr. Ligon was so seriously in|urcd that little hopes of her recovery were entertained at the time, and it was reportod at this ' place that she has since died. The ac> ! counts which w copy from other papers give full and accurate particulars of the further progress of the storm. No storm of such violence has ever visited this section of the State, and it Is to be hoped , that this may be the last of its kind, I While the loss in property has been great, j we think we have reason to be thankful ; that the loss of life was noi greater, j P. S.?We learn .since} the abovo wa.< 'written that Mrs. Ligon is still alive and tnat hopes of her recovery are entertained. Ridges or bottoms ? We think our farmers are beginning tr i learn wisdom from experience, and arc I beginning to set a higher estimate upon ! the importance of a careful preparation land cultivation of their bottom lands, The rule once was, t*? plant all upland (before beginning to work on tlio lowlands. NoW, among the progressive farmers, the rule seems to be to commence work on the bottoms as soon as they are in proper condition, irrespective I of the condition of tho ridges. A majority of our farmers are thoroughly con/xT a f?ii*on om mi lit (\f hft?* Vlliueu til>b \n n 6.?VM v. toms the crop is worth treblo the crop on tlie same amount of ridgo land. Ridges and "backbones" may do very well sometimes, but bottoms well worked always yield a fair return for all work expended on them. Cash business in town is very dull just now. On some days the merchants are kept busy distributing out the necessary provisions to make another crop. Our farmers have advanced one step in the road to permament success. Nearly all of them have sown plenty of oats to feed their stock after the first of May, and we shall expect them to begin to pay attention to their pastures. Every farmer should have a large per cent, of his farm under fence, which ho can build at odd times, when not pushed by needed work in the crop. The indications are that our farmers will be well up with their work, and it is quite probable that they will pitch a large crop. ? Money on Mortgages. It appears that our people are taking hold of the offers held out bv the foreign land loan companies. We notice that the Scottish Land Loan Company, which Is represented in Camden by Sfr. W. M. Shannon, has lent ?15,000 to persons in this county since the beginning ot (he year, and applications now on hand will swell the amount to nearly $50,000.?A*<rrxhrttv Gazette. Wo predict that nine-tenths of the farms so mortgaged will bo sold to pay the debt. It is not possible for the farmer to borrow money on long time, and then in one j*ear pay tho principal and nocummulated interest. Better beware. Cotton Plant.
