Federal aid to enforce tbe law and preserve

conscientious principles, and while we did all
that we thought legitimate and fair to defeat

But he would deserve the respect of nobody,
If he allows anybody to openly set at defiance

If he falls to see that the revenue from the

Of course this newspaper has had but little

We presume the opponents ol tbe dispensary
law will appeal to the Hunrem'e Court for
a decision setting that law aside.
Appeals to the Supreme Court have sometimes
been successful in setting aside tbe
laws or official acts of tbe administration,
and we fear, because of precedent, that the
Court may sustain those who may resist the
dispensary law.
Tr? puuo t ho fnnrt Hnno hu vo rrnnrl onfl lawful
reason for interfering with the enforcement of
the dispensary act, we trust that the Governor
may immediately convene the General
Assembly in extra session, to take such steps
as may be necessary to carry out the will of
the people. The people demand some legislation
on the whiskey question, and if the
Courts choose to annul the present law we
hope for ctlier and further enactments on the

The holidays being overall afe settling:
down again to business. They were observed
here pleasantly and quietly, with nothing to
tnar. Not an accident occurred. Almost every
one had their friends to dine with them,
and enjoyed an Interchange of presents. Only
a few entertainments for the devotees of
terpsichore were given.
Prof. Wilson and Dr. Neel have returned
from a business trip to Chattanooga. Tenn.
There are so many visitors in town we will
doubtless overlook some, therefore we ure
tempted to leave off all personal mention lest
some should take otlense.
THE DISPENSARY.
Some may complain of the Tillmanite Legislature
per rorceof habit, but without being
sycophantic we thank them that in their legislation
against the towns, Greenwood, the
citiirinl nf tlielr onnnsltion. whs overlooked.
Neither of their much criticised acts will be
specially injurious to us. The one of prohibition
will not affect us at all. We have no
bonded debt dependeut on the revenue from
whiskey, and have no fears but that we can
as heretofore get all we want without much
Inconvenience, even if the Evans bill becomes
law.
PERSONAL POINTS.
Mr. Thomos R. Riley, of Atlanta, spent *tbe

Mrs. C. M. Calhouu gave a sumptuous supper
during Christmas Id honor of air. Crouch,
h friend and classmate In W'ofr<?rd of her son
Rumsay.'both of whom spent their holidays

I suppose the salaries of ?1,200 and 81.000 for
the county dispenser and his clerk will place
those gentlemen above a respectable bar
keeper.
Miss Sallle Trapp has been visiting her

Prof. C. B. Waller went with his sister, Miss

E. J. Forrester preached.
Miss Susan Arnold came home from Converse

Next Monday is appointed for the election
of town officers to serve the ensuing year.
There Is no longer any Issue, and the best
men can be elected without opposition.
There Is no better man for Mayor than the incumbent,
Mr. J. T. Simmons, and I suppose
he will be elected without opposition.
Mr. J. W. Sproles lost his valuable horse
Charlie last week. He ran away and Injured
himself so badly he had to be shot.
MB. CALHOUN MOVED IN TOWN.
Mr.C. M.Calhoun was born and raised here,
has occupied Ills present house for a quarter
of a century, but it took a Reform Legislature
to make him a citizen of the town, by the
amended charier. He Is now a taxpayer to
the town, and as such entitled to all ttie bene
fits or itie municipality. ne j? a xmuutu
Conservative, too. Now, who can say our
Representatives are selfish.
A STATE STORE.
As before stated lam not Interested in legis.
iatlve prohibition, but it seems very unjust
for the State to render valueless many thousand
dollars worth ol her citizen's properly
without removing the evil. By the same reasoning
she can confiscate and monopolize the
trade on any other article of merchandise.
Apropos, I suggest that she open one mammoth
siore In every county, and compel every
body to get their supplies (rom It.
POLITICAL TREACHERY.
I have no acquaintance with Judge Speer.
I only know that he is a Federal Judge In
In Georgia, and has no connection whatever
with South Carolina politics, therefore It was
unkind In the extreme for the Greenville
News, in commenting on the Register's terms
of peace to go so tar out of its way to give
hlma&tah. Speaking of the sacrifice of principle
neccessary on the part of the Conserva
tives for Ihe reconciliation recommended l>y
the Rex I fier, the News Hays :
'This reminds u? h good deal of the very
pleasant talk the Northern Republican newspapers
addressed to the young men of the
south lust alter the election of Garfield in
1880. Why, we were asked, should we continue
sto cling to a party which could oiler us
nothing? We had gone down In defeat with
It time after time. Why should we not cast
In our lot with the triumphant party and
seek honors and tat places and be comfortable
and on top? All that was necessary was surrender
of principle?a change Irom the Democratic
pirty to ihe Republican party. Some
Southern newspapers look up these appeals
and nrced them very seriously.
Thanks be to the Almlghly, who gave our
people ni:>nhoed and lo\e of honor, country
and principle, very few Southern men yielded
to these temptations. Emory Speer, of
Georgia, and a few others like him, went over.
Emory speer bus a Federal Judgeship which
pays hlin ST.'jOO a year, we believe, for Itls life;
but the poorest uinn who Is struggling for
bread with an honest heart In him and a clear
conscience and the knowledge that he Is
above being bought at any price could net afford
to change places with Judge Speer. The
sense of degradation, the feeling that the
shame of his treachery must descend upon
his children's children, the certainty that the
contempt of honest and manly men Is upon
him. the assurance that he has built for htm-!
self an enduring monument of Ignominy,
make a load hard to live with and harder toj
.u? mim Va nftniio r\r> Itnitnru nr so Inripu null i
compensate a man for carrying It."
MIXED PAINT AS COW FEED.
Prof. Hodges had two fine milk cows to die
last weekafrom drinking mixed paint. This
being the fifth case of the kind in towc during
the last two months it might be well for
those who have paint about their premises to
post a plaearcT. "Look out for fresh paint,"
where the cows will be sure to see it.

"Orange Blossom" whose name had become
[quite familiar to Mayor Simmons. So he decided
to locate and investigate the gentleman,
i for tliis purpose he called into requisition the
reputed detective ability of his policeman Mr.
Mosely, wltb. instructions that he repair (*t
once to the express office and watch a certain
jug until the owner came. Armed thus, the
man with brass buttons and cocked iiat, proceeded
to seat himself, apparently unconcerned.
by a blazing tire bard by the Jug, and
watch the movement ol the enemy to the
laws ol adry town. He cocked his feet before
the lire Ala Tillman In a railway coach,
picked up the State and began to study the
Evans dispensary bill and Its probable effect
on dry towns. Its labyrlnthian phases caused
him to forget for a moment?and only a moment?the
object of his visit, he looked around
in bewilderment?when he dlscoved that the
"orange blossom bad wltted?had flown. I
don't know the full text of bis report to his
superior officer, but surmise something like
this as Psalmist would say:
My lord I have gone whither thou didst
send me. and lo I have discovered nothing
unto tliee.
The being of that Orange Blossom 1b as a
grans of the field, and a flower of the tropics,
it flourlshelh and s.m<-Helh sweet for a season,
but the hand of the wicked plncketh It from
the presence of thy wary "Cop," and it is
gone, und the place thereof shall know It no
more, but the vigilance of thy servant is from
everlasting to everlasting, as long as thou

to dny with glad accord,
For Christ, the Lord, Is come:
Fulfilled the prophetic word,
In David's Bethlehem.
For unto us a Child Is born :
I To us a Son Is given: ,
To raise our fallen nature up,
. And make us heirs of Heaven,
Behold Him In a manger laid
[ A hopeless little one;
For whom Judea's mothers prayed ;
. The Ions; exnected Son.
No earthly pomp surrounds His l>ed,
Ills home no pillared hall
They hud not where to lay His head,
Save In the cuttle's stall.
The King of Heaven?the Prince of Life,
Assumes a mortal fame;
He comes to enter Inlo strife.
To weave Immortal fame,
HK weapons: Truth and Righteousness;
His cause : the uood ol all
The helpless sous of Adam's race,
The ruined by the Kali.
Attend, ye Heavens ! give ear, O Earth!
While angels glad, proclaim,
That peace on earth, good will to men,
Are ollered in His Name:?
That Name, that through all earth and skies,
minii uigi> nwiiuicu <JC .
Iii which all human prayer shall rise,
From over land and sea.
Hall, glorious Prince! Hall, blessed Son !
On this Thy natal day
Let love and peace untrammeled run,
O'er all the earlh hold sway.
Till human phssion, sin, and wrongs,
Are numbered with the past,
And earth, witli her ten thou?and tongues,
Shall praise the "First and Last."

Borne on swift and willing wing.

While to ruined men they bring.
Tidings of the Stranger's greatness.
Peace on earth and mercy mild,

Though this meek and holy Child,
Publish peace toevery nation.

The Social Club.?"The social club
of the present day resembles a net
spread to* catch ihe innocent and
unsuspecting youth. At that age
whenayoui.g man should presumably
marry or tind his social enjoyment in
the refined and elevating society of the
gentle sex, he heeds the call of the
social club, which is not calculated to
refine or restrain but to invite to
dissipation and sin, The special peril
to young men is that, except on rare
occasions, their sisters, wives and
mothers never enter these clubs, i
Their associates are men only, and the
loud jest and profane speech are not

Mistaken Politeness. |
Is there any one who has not suffered
from the mistaken politeness of
friend and neighbors? How many
times have host and guest sat martyr
like till laie in inu evening, musing
heroic efforts to be agreeable, because
each feared the other would think it
rude if he expressed a wish to retire!
Most of us, too, have been visited in.
affliction by neighbors for whom we
ctt'red nothing, and who cared nothing
for us, but who crme because they
thought it would not be polite to stay
away.
Ayoung minister, not long ago,
spent a Sunday with strangers. After
the evening service he said to a friend:
"My preaching to-uight was a failuni
orid Pll f<?ll vnn whv. Thtt morn
ing service always exhausts me, and I
am in the habit taking a nap in the
afternoon; then I feel fresh and bright
at night. But the people with whom
I am staying devoted themselves to entertaining
me this afternoon, and 1
thought it would.not be polite to excuse
myself. So I managed to keep awake
and appear interested, but my
evening service had to suffer in consequence."
The friend, chancing next vday to
meet the young minister's hobtess,
made some reference to him.
"O," said the lady, "we liked him
very much, except for one thing.
He stayed down stairs all the afternoon,
aud seemed to enjoy being intertained
so well that we felt it
would be rude to leave him; and I
confess that I got completely tired
out "
What a mistaken politeness was "
this on both sides! Every true Christian
is willing to deny himself even in
little tilings lor me nappiosss 01
others, but when two people deny
J themselves, and succeed only in makI
ing each other miserable, the absurdity
of the so-called politeness is apparent.
And yet few of us are wholly guiltless
in the matter.
Politeness is a desire to pleaae others,
and to avoid what ever may be disagreeable
to them. It isn't always easy
to know what will pleaae another, especially
one who is a comparative'
stranger, anc the only solutiou of the
difficulty is in simple frankness.
| Let the host say to his guest: "I
I think you must be tired, and I hope
vnn will fpfil at libertv to cro to vourl
room at any time, I bough, of course, I
have no desire to hurry you/' Certainly
noone would stay after that unless
he ^ere really enjoying himself, i
in which case tne true host would ;
be quite willing to put aside his own
preference it) regard to retiring.
Oftentimes a host invites his guest
to vifit the manufactories of the place
or to go on some excursion, because he
thinks his friend woulcs wi?-h to go
wheu in reality it is an unmitigated
bore to both. How much belter for
him to say: "Now there are such and
such things which we might do, but
I have no wish in the matter except
vnnr nlpjimire. If vou wouldn't euiov '
[ them don't hesitate to say so, ami I L
should be delighted if you would suggest
something else." This would preclude
all danger of obliging him to do
jwhat was distasteful to him.
If children, from the first were j
trained to frankness (not the so-called
[bluntness which causes people to sny j
land do most disagreeable things, but.
the frankness which answers friends I
and acquaintance just as they would
like to be answered), then they would
seldom make themselves and others
uncomfortable through mistaken po* liteness.?Congregatioualisi.
Cocoanut Cake.?Half a pound of
grated cocoanut; three quarters of a
pound of crushed lump susrar; six
ounces of butter; the beaten whites of
five eggs; two tablespoonfuls of rose
water or a flavoring of vanilla; a little I
grated nutmeg (this may be oiumitted
when the flavor is not liked). Cream
the butter and sugar, beat until very
light, add the rose water, then the;
coconut, beating it in as lightly as J
possible; finally, whip in the whites of |
the eggs lightly, bake at once in aj
buttered dish, or if preferred, iu little
shells. Sprinkle powdered sugar over
the cake when cold.

?A Washington dispatch says:j
There is a rumored movement to
exclude the Louisiana lottery comr
pany from the mails, also the four
New Orleans banks interested in it. "
A prominent Louisiana man is at
the head of the movement, and when
he approached Harrison and Wan-'
namaker. who are well known church
members, on the subject, it is said that
they at once agreed to it, if law could
be found upon which to ba^e action. i
Attorney General Miller, another
religious member of the cabinet, is ex- .
pected to supply or find a suitable law. |
Strong arguments have been made '
to Wan namaker on the subject and he
has promised ail cue assistance iu ins
power.
Strive not with a man without cause I
if lie have done thee no harm. '
An ounce of cheerfulness is worth a
pound of sadness to serve God with.
Some one says that the less a man ?
amounts to, the more he prides on big
(investors. j
Withhold not good from them to
whom it is due, when it is in llie pow- \
er ol thine hand to do it. j
