The proclamation by the Governor order. Ing the dispensaries to be opened Is the right and proper thing. It 1b Just what the trlends of temperance have been expecting that be would do. Of course this will be a bitter pill for the license advocates, and the lawless element, J-; who feel that they are above law and can trample It under foot wheu It does notBult ???k.i? the hatfpr Rnrl law-abldine luoir j/uiiA?oo, vmw ??v ? ? w element, as a rule, will endorse the act of the Governor, Irrespective of political bias. While the Governor h*s In his ranks some tender feet, who fear that the move at this time ia impolitic, yet the act is right, and In the interest of law aud order, and whatever is right should prevail, and, we believe, will finally prevail. There is, aB we understand it, no organized or combined opposition to the law, except such as is controlled?Judging by tbe names which we see printed in the newspapers?by Italians and other foreigners who may feel that since being relieved of despotism at , home, they should, in a free country, know no law, except their own sweet will. Well, now, the State of South Caroliua must be ruled by somebody. The people, un" der the forms of law, must govern, or else the 'V lawless liquor element must rule. It is for tbe people to say which. ^ v When Charleston and the other towns, in i, * which Italians and other foreigners kick up such a fuss about the dispensary, placed tue country districts under strict prohibition, the moral population obeyed the law without a murmur, but now when Charleston's liquor traffic and debauchery of tbe people, is to be curtailed we hear a great and mighty howl. It will be for the people of South Carolina to say whether they will govern this country under the forms of law, or whether an aggre" gallon of foreigners shall bead a lawless mob and defy all law. ) r In case, therefore, the city of Charleston should resist the execution and enforcement of the liquor law of tbe State, the Legislature, If its members are worthy of decent respect, will have tbe city governed by a metropolitan force. Tn net f Hie mo ronn 1H artmnnIsh nup f.pp. islators and executive officers, and police lorce, to use no more force than Is actually necessary, to be a little blind occasloRa lly and other times to be a little forgiving, but 1** force Is necessary, then use all that is neces sary, or enough to let tbe metropolitan city know tbat tbe State, and not tbe city, Is tbe governing and ruling force. Charleston must obey tbe laws of tbe Slate, and It 1b boped tbat Bbe may do so quietly and peaceably, but pcaceably or not, tbe law maBt be enforced,or wo will have uoarcby In tbls country. Selecting: Candidate*. Having talked wltb various Reformers as to tbe methods of tbe approaching election, tbe plan which seems to be most popular wltb tbe leaders. Is to place tbe county officers on exactly tbe same platform as tbe State Convention put the Governor. To use some of their own words?"tbe Alliance should measure all men by tbe same yard stick. It would not be right to apply one role to county officers and another to State officers. If It Is right to submit the nomination of tbe Governor to tbe people, it la also right to submit tbe nomination of tbe Legislators to tbe same people?those composing tbe Reform ranks." Tbe Reformers seem to be settling down In. tbe conviction tbat tbe outsiders should have nothing to do with making their nominations; that only those wbo distrust their popularity wltb their own party would object to allowing their party to express a preference And bo It seems to be fairly well settled tbat tbe voters will act for themselves, and tbat tbe objectionable plan of "boiling out,1' in iron Iah will Ka as it should be. abolished. The members ot the Reform clubs will likely name their choice, at least, for Governor and Legislators. Tickets?will be furnished by those candidates who are active In promoting their own interests. ' The communication bn "The McCalla Plan'' on the same line, will also be read with lnter est by all Reformers. Not being specially interested, and haviDg nothing at all to do with it, except to give the news as we understand, we glvetbe foregoing, as representing our understanding of the situation.

So Snys the (Governor of Noutli ('BrOlillR. stale of South Carolina, Executive Chamber. Whereas. Under the provisions oi an act "to prohibit the manufacture and sale of lntoxicHtlua liquors as a beverage wltliln this jstate, except as herein provided," approved December 24,1892, the state assumed control of the legal liquor traffic In South Carolina, commencing July i; 18SKi; and Whereas, The said policy and purpose of the state to permit the sale of liquor by and through the state's officers only, was reaffirmed by an act approved December 2-1,1X93, en titled "an act to deelnre the law In reference thereto, and to further regulate the use, sale; consumption, transportation aud disposition of alcoholic liquor or liquors within the state of South Carolina, aud to police the same"; and Whereas, The supreme court of the state of South Carolina, by a decision rendered on the 19th of April, 1894, declared the first act, above mentioned, unconstitutional, except one small proviso of one section : The executive, in obedience to what lie conceived to be the will of the court, closed all the dispensarios and discharged the constabulary. In a subsequent decision, the court, still Ignoring the act of 1892, abo?e mentioned, construed Its decision to mean "there can be no legal sale of liquor by license," but has seemingly on purpose, omitted to mention or to construe the act of 1893. tlio ciotunf Knnlh flitrnlina. act Ing In good fHltli through the executive branch ol the government, and relying upon (he decision of the supreme court in the case of Hoover vs. the town council of Chester, In which it was declared that the act of 1892 was in effect, an act to regulate tb.e sale of spirituous liquors, the power to do which is universally recognized, has Invested large suras of money in liquors for pale under the provisions of the two acts above mentioned, and Whereas, This liquor is now being held at a heavy expense, while the state 1? flooded with contraband whiskey, sold without authority of law ; now, therefore, I, B. R. Tillman, governor ol South Carolina, in exercise of my discretion as executive, do issue this my proclamation, and declare that the said supreme court, havlug adjourned without In any wise giving expression in regard to the act of 18(?, that the said act is In full fjreeand eflect, and will be enforced in accordance with my oath of office, until the court shall have passed upon the same, or until the legislature shall have repealed it. The county dispensers In the various counties will open theif dispensaries on Wednesday, August 1st. All persons interested, including, public carriers, are notified that the importation of liquors will be at the risk of seizure and prosecution, and all contraband liquors found in the borders of tht state will be seized and confiscated according to law. lu testimony whereof I have hereunto sel my hand and caused the great seal of the state to be affixed at Columbia, this 2!d da; of July, A. D. 1894, and In the one hundred and nineteenth year ot the Independence o the United States of America. B. H. Tillman. By the Governor. J. E. Tiudall, Secretary of State. THE M'CALLA PLAN. Tilliiiaiilte (JIveM III* ViewN on lli< "Hoi 11 lit Down" BiiNiiieKM. The Reformers throughout the state should rejoice at the action of the Reform Conven lion which met In Columbia on the lltli. The determination of that body to adhere in tiio I'.illninn iilan mnkes Lhe election of till candidate most acceptable to the reformers u certainty. The autonomy of the Kelorn action demanded adherence to this plan Without this the choice of the majority 01 the reformers would not receive the nomina lion for Governor. The best man, the most acceptable man would Dot receive the support of the autis They have no interest in the upbuilding 01 the reform movement, and would vote every time, to a man, lor the candidate who wat least acceptable to the Reformers. This it what they have done often before,in county politics: vote for the least competent, the most illiterate reformer, so as to bring re proud) and derision on the movement. The unanimity of the members of the Heform Convention is a hopeful sign, and out distinguished committee-man from thle county, >lr. 1, H. McCalla, Is entitled to the thanks of his people. Indeed Mr. McCaiia has always favored the settling of these matters in the reform ranks. It was he who originated aud proposed the "boiling down" plan at the last election, thereby securing the choice of the reformers to represent Abbeville in the (louse of Representatives. This plan shoulda^aln be carried out. It is fair to the candidates and satisfactory to ttie reformers. 11 doesn'i|-<atlsfy*the antls, and it doesn't satislyjprohably those cahdidalesjwhu expect to come in by means of theauti votes. Let us satisfy ourselves, aud say toantlsand those candidates who expect to come In by the anti vote, stand back, we are in the majority, we are the people, and our voice is the supreme law in tuis mauer. Kticti local Reform club should see to li that a lull number of members are present at the ntfxt meeting wheu delegates are to be elected to tbe County Convention, and instructed to vole agreeable to ihe sentiment of the local club for or against the McCalla plan of "bolliDg down." Juthe interest ot reform, we hope to see no candidate object to this plan. There will likely be no candidates for Legislati ve.or Senatorial honors from among the anils, hence we expect the choice to be rrnde by tbe reformers without assistance from the antis. The candidate who objects to Mr. McCalla's plan, surely looks beyond the limits of tbe reform lines for aid. There Is no difference at all between the State officers and candidates lor the general assembly In the matter of boiling down. There are no anti candidates for state offices and. In this county, none for tbe General As sembly. It Is absolutely necessary in both caseB to secure the choice of tbe reformers for tbe offices. Turn out. reformers, and toll the candidates and theantls too,what,you wantand whatyou expect to have. Tlllmatilte. RAILROAD RACKET. IteniN oT IiifercNl to Ituilrond People and Tlieir I'ricmU ?

Considerable interest is manifested in the decision of Judge Gary in the case of 15. K. Hutchlngs, disposing of property under lien. The tollowing is the order of the court iu that case. "The defendant's counsel having demurred Milue Joes not charge uu olleuce and having agreed with the Solicitor that the mortgage showed a payment after conditions were broken and having agreed to Kubmlt the questions of law upon these Issues to the court; It isordered that the demurrer be sustained and Die indictment he gnashed, and under the authority of the cuse oi' Simmons vs Talley, this court holds that the Indictment will not lie. t Ue mortgagee having accepted part payment after;the conditions were broken and this is held to have waived the forfeiture." Stripped of legal phrases the decision means this. If you hold a chattel mortgage and do not take possession of the property when the ueed Is due you forfeit your claim to property. If you accept a partial payment on such a mortgage you forfeit your lieu. The decision follows up one made by the State Supreme Court lu the Spring of 189:5. It is understood that Solicitor Ansel will take an appeal to the Supreme Court? UreenviHe Pemocrat. Big bargains in clothing of ail klnd?.*_I\ Rosenberg & Co, PREJUDICE. Some \olra of? h Good Nerinou In the Frfubylpriau Church. Last Sunday night, In the Presbyterian church, Dr. Wilson in bis uertnou lamented the existence of prejudice?that prejudice which was manliest against ourfellowman, and which would, because it is blind, do injustice to worthy and deserving brethren. The preacher deprecated the evil in our hearts, which would blind our vision to the virtues and the excellencies of our neighbors and which would distort even their best efforts to acts of evil Intent. The same evil disposition which existed at the time when our Saviour lived still existed in the hearts of some of their decendants. The distinction ' which comes to our neighbors and friends from the attainment of public honors, and the praise which we accord to men who are brave enough to8tandfor their principles and convictions, only make them more prominent targets for the shafts of blind prejudice, which, because ofjealousy or other evil disposition, would rob the great and the couragous of the honor that is due to them, and deprive them of the well-done from their countrymen. No station in life Is exempt from the characteristic that wonld deny full and Just praise to the honest and conscientious worker |? nr Silofi Thp (1 IsnOSl Hon O ( prejudice was to And fault, rather I nan to discover the virtues and the good qualities which prevail and move the hearts of our struggling fellow-men. And there was no man who sought the good of his fellow man, who did not hunger and thirst for that recognition which his honest efforts deserved. It was like food to the hungry, which nourished and In vlgorated, and set the wayfarer on the road with renewed hope and greater strength tc acquire the mastery. Kven the church members, who are usuallj so loyal and so true to their servant, some times withhold even the just credit for du< and proper effort. Of one man they woult say, he was a good pastor, but tailed to studj lils sermons. Of another they would say tha he studied his sermons, but fulled to visit hii people, thus condemning one for what anoth er whs praised. At the conclusion, the preacher with mor than his usual pathos and eloquence said, tha . however much or little bis eflorts were appre elated, It would still be his object and aim t approach nearer and nearer to the Cross, evei until he should rest within Its shadow, am , bis prayer would ever be that the individual composing bis congregation would be ther ' with him In Spirit and lu truth. ? ?? ?

They come with huge trunks J that plow furrows in polished floors o and that crack tiling. They lay wet o flowers and heavy bundles on the , J toilet set made of fresh mull and silk, e They hang wet things on varnished chair backs. Unpleasant visitors splash soapy water around the washstand of the guest chamber, and throw spots of ink and shoe varnish about the walls and floors, and drop hairs and threads on the carpets, ami smear tables with glycerine and vaseline, and spill tooth powder into bureau d drawers. Unpleasant visitors throw y their dusty coats and cloaks on the r> clean bedspread of the spare room, and d lie down on it in their shoes and dusty r street clothes, and even take naps hed tween the clean blankets, thusdiessed. They leave their windows opeu and L- let in dust and rain. Unpleasant e visitors bring bottles of sticky mediciue that leave ineffaceable rings j" about their room. Unpleasant visi,1 tors have the rheumatism and smell of disagreeable liniments. They muss ? the clean window curtains, they I scratch matches in improper places i and they carry the morning paper to' * their room and never bring it back. y , t , v J <?o?l (iive. I <>lve. There is a very touching story of a poor little boy, who, when suffering f. from cold and hunger, was warmed ? and fed through a friend "sent by God," as he truly told the child, e When the little fellow *.vas warm he thought of some children as poor as e himself, aud wanted to carry some of the food God sent. "Because," said he, "God give, J give." That is just the reason why we uiwinid BivM This ooor little boy. 1 who had been to a mission Sunday(. school two or three times, and heard the story of God's great gift to the { world, had learned the secret of real .. giving. He would pass on to others i CJod's good gift to him ! That was ] real love and gratitude. j Perhaps some one .?ays, "What can l I give?" Like everything else, giv- ] s Ing should be taught about, prayed , p about and planned for. Perhaps you 1 i' can gain money to give to Christ's * cause by doing some self-denying work or going without something you want i - very much. If you will begin to look ' out for a way to give, you will cer- ] tainly find it. He sure of that. ? "If half the citizens of the world," said a young woman who works on t unbrella covers, "only knew such a * simple thing as how to roll up an umbrella, most of the umbrellas . brought to dealers to be mended-would \ never have needed repairs. ? "The right way to roll your um. brella is to take hold of the ends ofj. [ the ribs and the stick with the same j j ' hand and hold them tightly enough . to preveut their being twisted while I j the covering is being twirled around 11 1* with the other hand. Then your um-j. e brella will be as nicely closed as when j J 1 you bought it, and the only wear and . tear will be on the cloth. s uIt is twisting the ribs out of shape | I arouud the stick and fastening them j s there that spoils most of the um- j r brellas. Never hold the umbrella by : r the handle alone when you roll it up J{ s and you will find it will lust longer ( - and cost less for repairs."? 1'hiludel- t j phiu Times. ; Mime By Nlou<*. ? ; Tom and Robert were walking . through the woods. They came to u ! stream of water ; both stopped, delib- ' ! erating what was best to be done, r "1 am going to leap it," said Tom. ' 1 "[ am going to work my way over, ' ; stone by stone," said the more prudent Robert. ' Tom leaped, and missing his foot- 1 ing, fell into the stream, whilst Robert, J . n>?rlriiur hia wuv r???r^?F111 IV frolll OUe stone to another, landed safe and dry I1 I on the other side. I , i Boys, learn the lesson while young ; 1 | the shortest way often appears the * k longest. Do not try to leap across the i stream of difficulties that separates ' you from the shore of success. Perse- j verai)(re, diligence , and determination 1 [ are all stones cast across the stream ot ' life. A leap will bring you down c among them, wounded and hruised.

Our school has a children's choir, ind we were all standing iu the gallery that bright morning waiting ? millute or two while the organ played ts prelude. I could look down over :he Church, and I thought how pretty it looked with the classes all in -heir places and so many bright faces md pretty suits. I'm afraid I was hinking most of the suits, for i had i new one myself?cloak and hat and gloves to match, and that makes one eel so com for table, you know. It wax ust the time for putting on spring clothes, and nearly everybody in the jhoir had something new and nice xcept poor little Margie Dane. Margie has a sweet voice and she in . ..-miiv t,,,, hut that blown l?v?J fa"M Iress of hers! Why, it was old last fear, and it uever was anything very nice. Of course she can't help it, and I'm afraid she was fteliug a little jadly about it, too, and noticing how iiffcrent it was from the other*, for I iaw her eyes under their drooping ashes steal a glance along the line. [ think some one else saw it, for just hen Miuuie Grey, who had a hunch jf roses?beautiful hot-house roses? .urned and gave them to Margie aud vhispered softly : *1 know they must belong to you, Vlargie, dear, for they just match four cheeks." The gift and the loving words llash d a light all over the drooping face, dargie's soft eheeks touched the roses n delight, and the next, minute her 'oice rang out in the hymn. How ileal* aud sweet it was! "Scatter seeds of kindness! Scatter eeds of kindness!" 1 have sung those words a good nany times, but 1 never thought of heir meaning as 1 did just then after linnle had done a little "acaltering." I J wonder if that one thoughtful act wasn't really sweeter praise than all he singing of the choir? "It wa.s uch a little thing."
