Wednesday, Feb. 7, 1894. Twelve [Pages. Blots nnd Riots. In Rome communities tbey have labor rlotf In other places they have bread riots, but 1 Colombia It seems tbat a whiskey riot wa imminent last week. As will be Been from accounts taken frot the newspapers, bloodshed has already take place In Columbia, and the probability o possibility of further bloodshed is freely com mented on. It Is asserted tbat fears were entertained a one time of harm to the witness in a wblske; case who bad shot tils assailant In self-defense The sympathy of at least a part of the com munlty evidently being against a man wb told as little as possible In a whiskey prosecu tion, and then fongbt to save hlB own life. ^ Miller was dependent upon the police fo protection against Incensed people. We copy In full Miller's testimony befor the Trial Justice as published in the New and Courier, which newspaper Is opposed b the enforcement of the law. If tbat testimony shows anything at all, i bears* upon its Dace, the evident purpose o Miller to shield the alleged violators of tb ltqaor law from the penalties Incident to it violation. Although be seemingly desired to holt back everything he, presumably inadvently spoke of the preseuce of others. For thl unguarded speech be was attacked by one o the men whose names he bad called. W. B. Meetze, who was so lately lionized to his conduct In defying the law and In lb bulldozing of Governor Tillman at the Fai Grounds, appeared on the scene and er tered Into a fuss with Miller, without, as fa as we have observed, any apparent need o call for his conduct exoept In carrying out hi own will, or tbat of others, to punish a wl en for the State in tbe whiskey prosecutloc The result was, tbat Miller and Davis coir m6nced shooting at each other. Meetze r( celved a serious wound. The opponents of the dispensary law seen to have bulldozed witnesses and Juries Ii some communities to a wonderful extern and it seems from tbe following note of tbe trial as furnished by the News am Courier, tbat tbe Trial Justice in Columbli made a ruling which was certainly not Ux in thA amiiMd. The News ant Courier beads tbe following paragraph thus : A TRICK THAT WAS VAIN. The Solloltor asked : "Are you In any wa; prejudiced against the law?" Mr. Crawford: "Hold on there, tbat won' da" Judge Meltoo : "Tbe law prescribes a form ala for voir dlres; you have bold to thai Why not bold to tbe formula?" Jasllce Clarkson beld tbat tbe formuli should be followed. Mr. D. Gambrlll was asked to act as fore man. After a lot of a useless questioning tb first witness was called. And we believe tbe boast has been made It tbe newspapers tbat tbe provisions of tbe dla pensary law could not be enforced because, wi I preasume. of tbe determination of the lawles class to break down the law. Pandering tc tbe prejudice and feeling of tbe lawless claoi has brought about an undesirable con dttlon of affairs, which only the stern enforce meat of tbe law can correct. Liquor mobs, like bread rioters, raust be taught tbe neoeeslty of obeying tbe laws N Witnesses lor tbe State mast be protected Vlolaters of tbe law inuBt be punished. If any sentiment exists which would au tborlzean Illicit liquor dealer to defy the lav and bulldoze witnesses, the sentimen should be corrected. Violators of the liquor law are no more en titled to exemption from prosecution loi their crimes against society than are tbe vlo latere of other laws. Certainly vlolatere o tbe whiskey law have no right or claim U the sympathy or protection cf tbe respectabl* people of this State. The law-abiding people of Sooth Caroline want peace and order, and witnesses shoulc , be protected from assaults from the friends 9 the criminal class. ? Hurt We Aunreblata in Month Cnr olln?? Webster defines an anarchist to be "one whi excites revolt, or promotes disorder In a State.' While the word generally applies to peoplt who oppose law and order in France, yet ii would seem from the published statements ic the;newspapers that Sooth Carolina has an aroblsta In many counties of tb.e State, and IHaIp fttwn and rlpflani fnrrpfnl nnnneltlnn fr ' one of the most important laws or tbo State shows to what extremes they will go. Oar newspapers have held up their handf Id holy horror at the bare suggestion or the presence or "Populists" and "Ocalltes," bul nothing has been said or tbe greater anc worst public enemy, the "Anarchist." Tbe anarchist In France, aB well as the an archly In South Carolina, must sooner or latei abandon his resistance to law and order or else be must suffer tbe penally or his law lees deeds. In reading the account or the recent decap itatlon or an anarchist in France, tbe differ eace between the conditions or the auarchls in South Carolina and tbe anarchist in France was suggested. In France the anarchists. w< believe, are poor men without the neceiscria of life, and lacking either tbe ability, the op portnnlty, or tbe Inclination to provide fo their own comfort. This furnishes the basl for tbelr hatred and Jealousy of people wb< are well fed and comfortably clolbed Through the lmaglulugs or a diseased mind tbey conclude that the government is In som way to blame for tbelr sufferings. Not so with tbe anarchist In South Care ollna. But bis opposition to the lawR of hi country, and bis forceful assaults on witness es, jnrore. or other officers of tbe law ais originates from a diseased condition or th mind, caused, it may be, from the lnterrup tlon of his supply of liquor. The difference then between tbe anarchis In Paris and tbe anarchist in South Carotin; lathis: The one lackB bread and the othe wants liquor. Both must finally obey the laws of his couc try, or else suffer tbe consequences of bis 111 doing. It Is not within tbe power of any set o coterie of men to defy tbe laws of this State merely because tbelr supply of liquor is lc terferred with, or because their own partlc ular favorites do not hold the public offlcet Anarchists must obey the law8,even as th better disposed people have done in tbe pasl Pardon theJOinlssion.

Hill foi s Benefit of Creditor*. ) Our people were surprised last Monday a 8 the announcement that the millinery am . dry goods f.toreof Mr. W. E. Bell whb closed The liabilities are ascertained to be aboui . St.SOO, and the assets are estimated at betweec 89,000 and $10,000. Tbe stock of the goods li being taken now, and until that work Is flu ! lshea, the exact amount of the assets wil! not be known. The cause of the failure is the scarcity o monev in the country, Mr. Bell's inability tc collect the debts and bis failure to make hli - usual large cash sales. . Mr. Bell has been in business for about nine years, and during all that time has had the I confidence and goodwill of the people, as hat been attested by the extensive trade his stort has bad. He is a man of excellent ability, possesrins r good business qualifications, and it seems ii he had been lonaer Indulged he might have ~f paid out. Mr. Bell, like a good many or tbf 1 rest ol us. could not settle all of his debts al i one?. 3 There Is regret and nympathy lor Mr. Bell and It Is hoped that b 18 affairs may soon be settled satisfactorily to all,and that he may i soon be able to resume business as in the past I tie would be missed from the enterprise auti . push of our business circles. By 1)18 fait 1 dealing he has made many friends. Evaporated Sweet Potatoes. Few people know how easily sweet potatoes can he dried, even in the sun, ] and how handy and useful the dried potatoes are. At best sweet potatoes ' are a troublesome crop to keep, but 1 when dried or cured in an evaporatoi ' they are really no trouble to keep and " are always at band for use on the table 1 at short notice. They should be sliced ' and then evaporated. Then to use them they are soaked to restore the cva^uiaicu uiuioiuic auu men UttKCU 1 in pans as the fresh ones often are. ' They are an admirable article for pud1 dings and pies. For this purpose il 1 would be better to grind them into meal and put up in packages with dl* rections for making puddings. Put r up in this way it ought not to be * much trouble to create a market foi * the dried sweet potatoes. If an evaporating plant would but undertake * the putting up of the Bweet potatc * meal in packages the article would sell 1 well. Grocerymen are slow to take s hold of such products in the crude 8 evaporated state; put in such packages 9 with a few attractive hand-bills and - a lot of receipts for making the manj r delicious preparations that can be B made from sweet potatoes, a markel 1 could soon be made for a product thai * Eastern North Carolina can supply ir limitless quantities.

JJ | Paul believed in equality in the mat- Le ; ter of giving, as well as of service. Ha ' He would not have some burdened and ! others eased, hut enjoined upon one t and all the giving in proportion to the ] , individual ability. jBurdens should ? : be distributed. Needs should be met : by a uniteii effort upon a proportionate giving. Where this principle ob . tains, it is comparatively easy to sus- w tain the Lord's work; but in too many P1 ' of our congregations it tiuds little recognitiou. The few are left to bear a* the heavy part of the financial obliga- u' . tioiis. Many give pittances who ? should contribute largely to the ' port of the divine ordinances and to the benevolentschemes of the Church. \ If all felt their respouaibility as they should for the maintenance oi the sanctuary and for the spread of the Gos- x pel, much more money might not on- jJ I ly be raised, but raised more easily, ; while many a load would be lifted from . r those who are making heavy saurlfi8 ces to maintain the Lord's worship and to help on his kingdom.?Presby' terian. * pt ' til 1 For the second time within a few Tl I months a petty judge has effectually 3 estopped the higher civil authorities " in the enforcement of good laws.

About a week ago a lad thirteen years of age was arrested In Pniiadelie phia, charged with robbing offices in the building in which he wa.1 employed ?s elevator bov. His pilferings, it appeared, were used for ihe purchase, amongst other thing*, cigarettes. The ;t magistrate having bound the offender ie. over to appear at court, it is to be [y hoped that the evidence iu ihe ca-e e,i will be so utilized there as to enable the Commonwealth to place Its conor demnatlou upon that dealer In t.ihnceo ,r? who has so flagrantly violate.] ihe well hi published statute enacted by the last Jy Legislature, which povldes "that If any person or persons shall sell cigaror ettes to any person or persons under the aare of sixteen years, he or she so )o offending shall be guilty of a rnisdeof meauor, and upon convictiou thereof q' shall be sentenced to pay a tine of not oi, more than three hundred dollars." :a Some may be disposed to look upon the offence as a light one, snd the extreme penalty provided as heavy. >,e But is it so ? A convincing argument, I think, to the contrary, was found in to the case of the boy Robinson, fifteen >u years of age who died last spring In Philadelphia, from the effects of the tid use of tobacco. The verdict of the ne Coroner's jury, as it appeared upon tho ?y register which I personally inspected, to is "Narcotic poisoning from the exces* sive use of tobacco.'/ Considerations of simple humanity, exclusive of any id requirement of penal law, ought to operate against the selling of cigarin* ettes to our boys, and I trust that any it. proved violations of the act wijl re)re ceive deserved punishment for the De sake of society at large, for the proise tection of the boys, and as a rightful ry warning and true kindness to dealer*, who may even, as in the above case, ot make themselves morally liable as in> contributory to death by poisouing. in. And it is Bot merely body poinonry, ing to which a large number of the "? dealers have lent themselves. It was but a short time ago that many thoune sands of the homes of the city of Philadelphia were effectually reached by a certain Arm of manufacturers of ty cigarettes, iu sendiug into those Le homes, through the medium of the mails, abominable advertising cards bp. nf their noxious wares. 1 know of . no roore flagrant wrong committed l(Jl upon a whole community than this, be such a wholesale spreading abroad of |?? gross impurity; and yet, though | a pointed remonstrance wan made to the ee chief post-offlce officials in Philadelphia and Washington, no formai noed tice was taken of the outrage. The unscrupulous Arm of cigarette makers had accomplished their guilty purne purpose, but with what a totality of nr, evil result we may never know. It J*| canuot be doubted that indeceut relt presentations such as these are a determinate incentive to immoral living, breakiug out here and there in felon.th ious assaults such as of late years have ed become so alarmingly frequent. Referring to the degradation of those cigarette manufacturers who send out impure pictures, the Southern Churchman several months ago said in alluding to some efforts made to stop the evil in the city of Philadelphia : "We know not whether there are such (manufacturers) iu Virginia or - Richmond?we take for granted our people would not be guilty of a crime against humanity?but if there be, we need ouly say they are criminal in the ?8 eyes of Virginia law?, as well as detestable in the estimation of the pure and holy Christ. One of the false charges brought against Socrates was that he was a 'depraver .of youth.' x- Even heathen Athens felt the enorruity of such au offense. But how . little the iufluence of any one man in a small community like Athens, compared with that of men who send out s's pictures by the million, the only effect of which is to corrupt our youth and bring untold evil iuto the family and e community." Tbese are straightforward words to ks be used iu such a tobacco mart aa the capital of Virginia, and the writer can say from knowledge that they were sorely needed right there. In Lynchburg over h yeur ago the prosecuting |]g attorney of the Commonwealth, with rd the approval of the Mayor, prepared indictments against a number of tobacco manufacturers who had grossly >,e offended in this direction, and only withheld positive action upon the promise of the accused parties that or they would thenceforward cea.<e their ,j8 debasing work. The outcry an over the land against the iniquity ha* been such that many of tbe offensive productions have been withdrawn, though not a few of the manufactu* reraand dealers, remorseless in their iel tactics, in dropping perforce the irdeay cent, have taken up the brutal, and have deluged the laud with millions of pictures of prizefighters, handed to lo ttie boys who purchase their lp cigarettes. ? ?????-re The Chrldtian'N Double Inspiration er Iu true Christian living, eveu though life is a struggle, there is always an iy iuspiration like the breath of an eterre uai morning; an iuspiration which thrills our redeemed rapacities and kindles an irrepref-sible energy for our lifework. Witii the thought of dyt? iog there couies als-o to the Christian a thrill of glorious anticipation, "For j0 to me to live is Christ, to die is gaiu," Pun! vt-rrvfa frnni the Roman nrison. He knew that one word of Royal command might consign him to instant u* martyrdom. His mind was perfectly es calm ; he knew that God holds the heart of men ; and he welcomed the ,jl divine will whether to live or die. m He had no choice. "What I choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, r- and to be with Christ; which is far n- better." It might be said that these lofty sentiments were due to the nat* I ural heroism of the man ratheu than ' to any settled habit of Christian thought. But all that he ever said concerning Jiving and dying shows as the real source of his overmastenng II convictions. Christ died for me that I might have life; Christ lives tor me .j that I may live; Christ liveth in me ? that I may live more abundautly. My life, purchased by His death, sustained by His spiritual indwelling, bell longs to Him; "for me to live is n Christ." Death is deliverance from the Hesh, which lusteth against the Spirit; from the tempter, from suffer. ing, from sin; "to die is gain." " A Good Lesson. w "I am afraid I'll fail," said oue who g was almost persuaded to accept of n Christ, and enter upon the Christian life by publicly confessing him. The answer was: "Would you refuse to o accept of a fortune if it were freely e ottered you, in the fear that you might n become poor again ? Would iyou refuse to accept of bread if you were r starving, in the fear that you might at II some time in the future be hungry , again ? ' Would you refuse to come to the tire if you were cold, because of the possibility of your being cold again ? Are you afraid that Cod's grace will be J exhausted after awhile."?United Presbyterian. 4 -
