Now, we wish to ask: to whom do these words reler? Do they apply solely to the j layety ? The profane world teaches as that we should never take the name of the Lord oar (iod on our lips, except In reverential awe. ( In polite society layraen are forbidden the ' Irreverent use of that word In the presence of ladies, at least. I PnlitAneiui torhirtK a eentleman to call a 1 lady's name la doubtfu I or mixed company. | We believe these propositions will be ac" knowledged as true. Then by what authority does a minister of the gospel, In the pulpit, and out of it,?in delivering bis sermon, or in bis ordinary conversation?make free lo take that name on , his lips T By what right does be use the words which are forbidden by Ibe laws of the Almighty hs i well as by the Tales of good society ; Let a company of gentlemen meet on the { street corner and ten chanceB to one. If there | Is a preacher among them, he will be the only ' man among them to say "God"?not even pro- , nounclng it "Gawd." By what right does a preacher in the pulpit, ] in the presence of ladles and children, use ; u ??- .ui,?lUol> ?? (damnation " uhp Buuu wurun no uciuou, ? damned," "bell-flre," ' "God Almighty's earth ?" It Is coarse to use these expressions. 1 If a layman were to use such words in the | hearing of ladles, be would justly be banish- ' ed from their presenoe. I It Is delightful to llBten to a sermon when : tha preacher is reverential, and when he does not in every sentence profane the name of the Lord our Sod, bat, when we expect purity and rtwoitan and love, honor and otodtooae to tbe will of the Almighty, it is grating on ewrt an to bear tbe name of our -Mater called a hundred timet in one short sermon. It ta vo lata grating to hear tbe frequent use of tbevery words from tbe pulpit wblob tbe boys down town denominate as "cuss words." . * Sunday at Chicago. The Christian people of this country are making strenuous efforts to close the World's Falron Sunday?not by moral suaBlon, but by tbe arm of the government?by soldiers, If need be. Any attempt of any religious denomination ?or all tbe Christians combined?to use tbe Government for tbe forceful compliance o/ their wishes, will result disastrously. While other religions were set up by armies ?by force and by bloodshed?the Christian religion waa established In Love, In Purity. In Fellowship and in Peace and Goodwill toward mankind. Oar Saviour never appealed to Caesar to enforce bis doctrines and principles; and if he were on earth to-lay, be would not bave appealed to Cleveland fo? power to compel ao enforoed observance of Lht Sabbath day. He assumed no great superiority; he claim- | ed no special graoe whereby he was lifted In to a higher and more ceruleaa atmosphere ' than the people whom be met every day. Instead of setting hlmsftll apart from the world, and digging a great gulf between blm and the people, he went among them doing good < even to the humblest. In order that be might get near to them and win their confidence he often adopted the w manners and modes of speech then prevalent ' among the pagans or others whom be sought to oonvert. * ' i Our missionaries In China to-day adopt the 1 dress and que of the Chinaman. In this they obey the dictates of common sense and follow | the example of our Saviour. As itwoald be foolish to attempt to set up , by law a religion wblcb bad not Its founda- | tlon In tb? hearts of our bretbren, so It Is fool' ' lsh to undertake to restrain them from tbat J freedom wblcb they would unwillingly yield I Tbe Christian religion never has bad and ' never will have, any other stronghold than in | tne nearis or me people, men oy love, instill Christian principles Into tbe people, and don't use force to establish tbe forms of religion. Tbe Chinese Exclusion Act. Congress passed an aot to require all Chinamen to register and have their photographs taken, or In case of refusal they may be Im- < prisoned at bard labor for a year, and then be , subject to be sent home at Government expease. The time for registering has expired' and tbe government at Waghli gton proposes U> enforoe tbe law. The passage or this law was not only foolish, bnt It was criminal. At tbe present time there are over a hundred thousand Chinamen in this country, and there areaboat an equal number of Americans in China, including Christian mUslon* arles and many Americans of wealth. Tbe result of onr hostile treatment of the Chinese will be that tbe Chinese government mi> oonri nnr mlcfilnnnrloH nnfl othftr Am?ri cans back borne, with loss in property. On a dead level, It Is a great stretch of forbearance on the part of tbe Chinese to allow \ our missionaries to live among tbem and preacb tbe goepel; bat under exasperating circumstances, tbe missionary who gels away with bis life may consider himself fortunate. Tbe rich Americans in that land may be made to suffer, and it is not improbable that the Christian churches and chapels will either be destroyed by tbe mobs or confiscated by tbe government. There is no such thing as squaring the law of Congress with the act of the Christian churches. Tbe exclusion act ought to be repealed, and we are sorry to see the Government disposed to enforce an unjust law. We are sorry for tbe wrong inflicted on tbe Chinamen, and we are still more sorry for the suffering It will entall on Americans cow in China. riAAil DnlntAIMI As a rale the Press and Banner can do an Indefinite amount of work in short order. We have a corps of as good type Betters as can be found anywhere. They do good work, and do not hesitate to work night and day when the emergency arises. Our foreman last week alone set oyer one hundred thousand ems? about eighty thousand on the paper, and about twenty thousand on pamphlet work. We have half dozen good printers, but as a matter of laot, none of them, or anybody else, can set type as faBt as the foreman. This will be understood, when we state that six thousand ems are considered a good day's work for a Journeyman printer, and the reader will better understand the amount of work that Is done in our office, when we Btate that the average long primer county newspaper contains anywhere from twenty-five to fifty thousand i ems?only in exceptional cases do country 1 newspapers Bet over sixty thousand ems. 1 Tawn Carta Liable for Taxation. , The Attorney General has decided that town carts, mules, shovels, and so forth, are liable to be listed for taxation, and some of ; our city brethren of the press seem to be ex% erclsed thereat. The News and Courier, lor , instance. Is reported to have asked "What I will come next?" That newspaper, to be consistent, might possibly get up an "Indlgna* j tlon meeting" to abnse Tillman directly and i indirectly to give the State of South Carolina 1 a black eye. \ ybe listing of corporation personal property s of small consequence one way or another. xceptasa pretext lor finding fault with the Jovernment The ruling of the Attorney ieneral seems to be right. But right or erong, the tax on our superannuated town nuleand creaky cart will not materially efect the treasury. The holders of State bonds nd the owners of county claims needn't tank much on the tax on our old cart and aule. Supplement. Next week we will print a supplement, and urnl8h enough reading matter to make good iny seeming deficiency this week. DUE WEST ITEMS. -??__ Ifnny XamcN of People that You Know. Due West, S.

Lowndesvllle, May 22nd, 1893. Dry, dry, and yet we have bad a plenty c rain. Paradoxical as the above may seem, it 1 nevertheless true. For about two months, we have had a pret ty good rain, about once a week, but the ver, hlgli wlnas following have bo rapidly drle tbem off, that they bave done but little good From that, or some other cause, the amal grain crops are almost a failure. The fall and sprint; oats, excepting on Ion lands will be hardly worth saving In cons< quencejof which, many of our planters will eliher have to buy more horse feed than the; expected; or not feed quite as well as they id lended. The exercises consisted of speeches and dl? logues, Interspersed witb music, vocal an instrumental. Mrs. Albert Glbert. of Boi deaux, who managed Ibe organ, accompanies by the Rev. H. C. Fennell on the violin, gav us some very line music, which greatly aade to the pleasure of the occasion.

W, D. - REGULATING LIQUOR. The People to be Furnished With i Good Whisk les nt Reasonable Prices. The State. if The Governor last night gave to the press a must Interesting interview. g Governor Tillman said, when asked as to the price which the liquor would be sold under the dispensary system, that the cheapest y whiskey would be retailed to the consumer at d 83 a eallon. 75 cents a quart,40 cents a pint I. and 20 cents a half pint. The difference In the II smaller packages being the cost of the packing and glass. This price will apply to both >. rye and corn and the liquors sold at 83 will >- cost $1.60 at the dlstlllerlesand will be of the I, best quality obtainable at the price. A SENSATIONAL CHARGE. He went on to say that since he has been investlgating the liquor business he has dlsd covered two things: ' First, that very little honest liquor has d been sold it this State, very nearly all of It ? being compounded liquor; and, second, J through bis dealings with glass manufac* torers of bottle and flasks, that the dealers In ' this State have been using vessels from two to 1 eight ounces below the requirements. Quarts d have run twenty-six to twenty-eight ounces, r- when they should have been thirty-two >* ounces, aad smaller flasks show the same pro6 portion. He bad further discovered, be said, e that nine-tenths of |tbe liquor sold In thin e State was from 60 to 90 per cent, proof, when It ? should have been 100. It has been b 5- WATERED AS WELL AS DOCTORED and colored and sugared. Practically none of : the liquor sold In this State has run over the ? 00 per cent, proof. The whiskey that will be K? iko illinanmirv will he from 20 tO 30 !>' per cent, stronger than tbat now sold and , there will be an absolutely honest measure ' and an absolutely pure article. *'I have col" lected about twenty Ave samples of liquors from different parts or the Bute, which will ? be turned over to Dr. Burney tor chemical ^ analysis as soon as he has the time, aud WE WILL SHOW THE PEOPLE o what kind or stud they have been drinking." it From the talks he has had with the men who sell liquor to dealers In this State he was con>c vlnceo that nine-tenths or the whiskey sold a in South Carolina Is not over two or three months old and had not time to get mellow or e lose Its Injurious properties. ? JULY 8UN WILL EVAPORATE OPPOSITION. y When asked what be thought about the opposition to the establishment of dispensaries f: be replied tbat "the July sun would evapor11 ate all that," and tbat before long dispensaries would be established In all or the ooontles; and before January even in those counties where there Is now absolute prohibition. THESE ARE MILLIONS IN IT. As to the profit to be derived from the systern, he said: "From the best Information 1 bave been able to get from a variety of souroes there is now over 1,000,000 gallons of whiskey e sold In tbls State, possibly 1,500,000. We estli. mate that there will be a falling off of about f. one-third in the consumption?certainly not in over half. We will get a net proflt of $1 out of ie every gallon of whiskey we sell, and, in addij tloD, a considerable revenne from wines, beers, brandies, etc. It won't cost more than ie $100,000 to distribute the goods, and It may d cost $25,000 to enforce the law.'1 Altogether, be said, the minimum proflt would not be less at than 8500,000 the first year. g. WILL ENFORCE THE LAW. t- Talking about the enforcement of the law, > * be said that he bad Just ordered badges for i- special constable and deteotives and he was re golug to bave a good corps or constables and ?- deteotlven to make arrests, seize wnisKeys ana g see (bat the law wan properly enforced as well ie as keep an eye on the county dispensers. 8. HABD ON THE CLUBS. 0 These special constables will probably aluo n give an eye to the clubs, which, he says, under D Sections 21 and 22, prevents dispensing or keeping of liquor In a club for use by Its |e members. NO SLOPPY BE1CRS. In regard to beers the Governor said: We n are having samples of all the leading brewig erles analyzed; everybody will be given a a fair chance, and when the selections are ig made and the beer ottered on the mat ket the labels will be identical except as to number* of ?that is, No. 1 will represent the beer of a ce certain brewery and No. 2 of another brewery. The labels will set forth that it Is bottled ext clusively for the South Carolina State dlspen* it sary. The beers that have been offered us id show a variation of as rancb!as 93 50 a cask of bottles (ten dozen pints). Now our Idea in ff putting on the numbers is to do away with the difference which long established repnta'a tlon has effected in Imagination. We propose p. to let the beer, after It has stood the chemical test, stand the test of the stomach ; and do n- away with an Imaginary superiority. We sr won t force our people to drink slops because Ml they are made at home or are cheap. We will ie not put out a high priced beer, because It ban it' a reputation, that Is not better than a home >d product. All the beer must utand on Its own le merits on the market and will be sold at the uniform price oi 15 cents per bot:le. We will r- encourage the sale of beer In every way possle ble, and I hope the Legislature will allow us s- to put It on draught, where it can be obtained heap. Ice will be used and the beer sold In a o- portable shape.- The State board of control will receive proposals from the different Ice companies that choose to compete for the con tract to provide ice I or the summer for county dispensers. ? rn^m ?????
