D Mr. McLaurin?"No, sir, I would not." (Ap- t nlancpl n Col. Irby?"If you had been governor would ' you have taken the police off ?" 0 Mr. McLaurln?"Yes, sir, I would." a "This utterance is important as going to show d Mr. McLaurln's position as to the enforce- t; ment or the nullification of one of the most fl important law6 on the statute books. To remove the metropolitan police would have about the same effect that the removal of Slate constables would have on the Illicit sale of liquor throughout the country, and as ^ a rule every opponent of the dispensary law d is opposed to the constables, while the friends . of temperance, as a rule, are In favor of a strict enforcement of the law. Th? dp^hir&iion of Mr. McLaurln that he - - would remove the police from Charleston ? will likely securetohhn the vote of the liquor element of the City by the Sea. We are not informed whether such a declaration as Mr. McLaurin makes against the enforcement of the law will meet with the favor of the Christian temperance people of this section, but we believe that they do not en- u dorse either the over-riding of the law of the o State, or the indiscriminate sale of liquor. 3 It may be that Mr. McLaurin does not wish to have the foreigners of Charleston to defy b the laws of their adopted country, but it e looks that way to this newspaper. w Charleston having boasted that the State P could not enforce the law in that city, the gauntlet is thrown down. Will the people of the State surrender to the liquor element of that city ? Are the outlaws of Charleston to become me guaraians 01 oar morais sau our i sobriety? b The tariff dwindles Into Insignificance u when compared to tbe morality and BObrlety 0 ci oar people. If Senator McLaurln should be elected be may prove a stumbling block In tbe way of men] who bold tbe sobriety of our people ag of tbe most vital importance. it seems to us that Mr. McLaurln's speech | In reference to tbe police, savors of a disposition to go back on Governor Ellerbe, wbo gave blm tbe appointment which he now holds. 0 Tbe Press and Banner is not authorized to t< speak for anybody, but we do not think that ? any catering to tbe liquor element or any a frlanHohln to ?ha latp.hroalrora will hflnpllt 1 any of the candidates. * . , r a ai To the Candidate*. 7 Next Friday the Senatorial candidates are K expected to address tne voters of Abbeville ? county at Abbeville. a The Press and Banner would suggest that the name of Calhoun be allowed to rest Ab- J bevllle was the native couuty of the dlstln- si gulshed statesman who promulgated more B theories that have since been exploded than a any man In American history, and we have tl been reminded of his greatness to a number K of times that would nearly equal the number ^ of public meetings that have been held in this county. It may be that Calhoun is authority on c some great political principle, but, as far as a we can now recall, all of the leading questlons that agitated the public mind during ^ his liletime have been settled definitely and fc forever against tbe theories or principles which were upheld by tbe great slave-owner. Bat, even admitting that be was the greatest man tkat ever lived, and that his statesmanship was characterized by tbe most clear* sighted sagacity and tbe moBt nnerrlng s judgment, are we never to have a rest? We have beard ol Calhoun, and of the lesser lights that sblned in this county forty yeurs e ago, until we are sick and tired of tbe parrotlike speeches that can recognize nothing In ^ tbe manhood of the living, and that can say nothing of tbe Issues that present themselves to-day. E We are tired of the rule of dead men. We are tired of Idiotic hero worship. v If an orator Is nothing of himself, be will * hardly gain much by attaching himself as a ii barnacle to the corpse of those who ought, n with their laurels, to be allowed to rest. We are so tired of hero worship. Thfl xphnla hpari Ik alotr nnri tho \rhnlfl hparf. is faint, with so much idol worship. The Important Question. The voters of Abbeville oounty should know the views of the candidates for tbe ? Legislature, as well as those of the candidates for Senatorial honors. If there is a liquor candidate for either place, let him speak out- C; If there Is a friend of tbe dispensary law in ft the field, let him speak. ^ This is a time when men should vote more c! for principle than for men. ' Let the liquor men vote for the liquor can- ^ dldates. a Let every citizen array himself In tbe line b to which he belongs, and let blm cast bis vote r according to bis principles. v Let no voter 6tultlfy himself by voting against bis principles. Cast an honest vote, as ibe preachers say, according to the way you pray. The D|?pena?ry. Let the Senatorial candidates declare themselves next Friday on the dispensary law. If n they fail to specify, letsome one In the audi- * ence speak out. Speaking for this editor, be [, would not knowingly vote for any man who c favors tbe flooding of this country with free to liquor, or who would cripple the dispensary s law. e It looks as If McLaurln Is a little scared on n tbe tarlfl, and it seems that Evans Is all | wrong on the tariff, but as between tbe tariff c and the dispensary, we will stick to the die. j pensary. The dispensary Is of first lmpor- v tance to our people. "V ?? nttru uu Jiisnivunrivn* The finding of much gold In tbe region around tbe bead-waters ot tbe Klondike River in Alaska Is attracting thousands of ; miners, adventurers, speculators and "green horns" thither. Tbe hardships unavoidable In making the trip are such that It is to be feared tbat few persons would attempt to undergo them if the journey were to secure the salvation of their sou Is.?Christian Neighbor. We are apprehensive for fear tbat some of tbe missionaries that now go to the Klowery Kingdom may be diverted to the frozen fields of tbe Klondike. It would be bard on missionaries if they should be induced to look af. ter tbe souls of miners in tbe plains of tbe , Klondyke. ^ ^ What U tbe Matter with tlie LieutGovernor ? , We regret to see that Lieutenant-Governor M. B. McSweeney is weakening en tbe dispen6ary. It now seems that be wants tbe 6 constables removed, wblcb means, oi course, * tbat our friend Mac bas gone over to tbe enemy. We are sorry for this.

When asked -for an interview by a Pre nd Banner reporter Senator Tillman said 1 ad only to say tbat the crops were very fit nd tbat he was glad to get back to Abbevll gain. (He was here the first time elevt ears ago yesterday.) Later, however, tbe Senator took occasic ) say that he considered tbe situation In tl tate very grave, and tbat he considered not ig of more importance at this time than tl ispensaryand the liquor question generall Asked as to probable relief by National ie ilation Senator Tillman said he was vei opeful ot securing the passage of bis bill " iop government by injunction" through Co reus next winter.

Further, In connection with the postoffi abject be stated that be bad been two < iree times assured by tbe authorities tb o postmaster would be removed except f Etuse.

All the meetings were open for 'I; the public to attend, and most of them were 33 well attended, notwithstanding the extremely ? ? warm weather. Bishop Duncan presided i over the conference. Each day of the con- V" , ference at 11 o'clock In the morning and 8:30 ,, g In the evening preaching was bad by some of . Its members. The opening sermon Tuesday f evening was preached by Rev. R. C. McRoy, ,J u of Waterloo. On Wednesday evening Rev. r Chas. Smith, of Wofford College, filled the pulpit. Thursday at 11 o'clock a. m., the 3 church was crowded to hear Bishop Duncan, who preached an able sermon to the minis* r h ters of the conference. Equally as large a ? r congregation assembled on that evening to 1 hear Rev. Dr. Clifton, of Abbeville, who is f 5 one of the ablest men In the church. On Frl- 11 day evening Rev. Dr. Rice, of Columbia Fe* male College, gave us a good sermon on f Christian Education. rt TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. I G The first meeting of the Teachers' Institute " for Greenwood county was held in the Graded jj 2 School building last week. Supt. White had B everything in readiness and was present at w every session doing all be could for the con- c venience and accommodation Df the teachers 31 f and instructors. The management of the t Institute was in the hands of Prof. ?. L. 5 Hughes, of the Greenville Graded School, r< <* who was assisted by Prof. O. D. Martin o' > that place, and by Miss Mamie WlckllfFe. of a Wlnthrop Colleee. The three members had 1 divided the work up among themselves, and $1 each one managed a special work. : Tbe sessions of t he Institute were well at- ? tended by the teachers of the county and by R many people from tbe city. MaJ. White had 1 been very fortunate in securing Dr. Joynes, of South Carolina College to lecture on one 3 evening of the Institute. He came upon Tuesday and talked that evening on "Educa- y s tlon the Light of the World." His address 01 1 was able and scholarly, characteristic of the -.1 man who made it. During tbe course of what 3 lie had to say he paid his respects to some of r the "new fangled" ways of teaching, and T I went for them with gloves oft. Dr. Joynes does not admire tbe kind of learning a man 1 r Hottq wlfhAnt havlnir fn think-? "Some how it happens," he said, "that flfty 1 years ago a boy went to college, and knew bow to read and spell and Was acquainted 11 with the Latin and Greek grammars, but T now they come up to us and can neither read 1 nor spell, and bave learned Latin and Qreek without a grammar." We hope to have blm with us again, because we can endorse what he has to say, but are not so certain aboat the new ways of reading and spelling. On Tburs- B day nigbt Prof. Hughes entertained those B who assembled with a lecture on "What the B Man In the Moon Saw." It was rot our pleasure to attend this lecture, but we have beard it complimentarily spoken ot by those who did attend. y PREACHING.

Some people have got the notion in heir heads that economy is mean and liggardly, and that lavish expenditure a the true sign of a generous nature, f any such should happen to be readre of tbis Journal, we beg to assure hem that they are laboring under a [elusion. It is doubtful whether even wealthy peopje have any right to catter their money in personal ndulgence, and it is certain that no ne has any right to live beyond his neans. The ena ot mac roau ih lishonor and disgrace. Better is even be hardest and most closely-calculated conomy than the vulgar dishonesty vhich clothes itself in purple and fine inen that it is not really able to buy, md fares sumptuously every day on lelicate viands that somebody else >ays for. To speud more money than you nake is both foolish and dishonest; oolish because it envolves you in ndless worry ; dishonest because it nakes you unable to pay even just lebts. Union Mcelinits Not Prolltmble. Evangelist Dwight L. Moody, after any years of experience, now excesses the opinion that while it is a ood thing for Churches of different lenominaticns to hold union meetings ur the purpose of prayer together ,ud preparing for revival effort, yet hat the real work should be done by ach Church in its own way and at its wn home altars. In that opinion we gree with Mr. Moody most heartily, experience has proven most concluively, to our mind, that union meetugH are uot profitable, Yes and No are for good or evil, the iiants of life. The homely virtues of every-day fe are the crown jewels of character. ^ White french organdies (X! IncheH wide, 25 ) fii) oentN at. H addon 'h. ANNOUNCEMENTS. j ; Wenreauthorizedtoannounce J.

While the cause e remains, the effect will be the same. , Night as well attempt to "stem old oo.in's [ tide" or dam the waters of the mighty Niag- a ara In Its lofty leap over the world-wide won- j der, the mighty Kalis, as to stop the lnevlta- u ble penalty for the "nameless crime."
