The fact Is that a great number of good citicens of South Carolina are striving to curtail the liquor traffic in South Carolina. Opposed to their eflorts are all the barroom crowd, tbe prohibitionists, and a considerable number of preachers. We can understand how a barroom man can conscientiously and honestly oppose the dispensary. It interferes with his business, which he considers as legitimate as any other business. Hut the reasons which iuduce prohibitionists and preachers to align themselves with the saloon mea have not been discovered by us. It has been said that politics makes strange bedfellows. Well now if saloonkeepers, prohibitionists and preachers do not make a strange combination we would like to know bow such a thing could be gotten up. However honest and however innocent the prohibitionists may be in their, combination with the saloon men it must be admitted that they are all practically working for the same thing, namely: The repeal of the dispensary law and the flooding of (his country with free liquor. They may not be aware of the fact that they are making figures of themselves before the people by their unholy alliance with the llauor element Notwithstanding tho fact that it has been asserted time and again that Simonton had killed the dispensary, and that public sentiment against the dispensary was gaining, yet we believe that the people are as steadfast and as true as possible to the best liquor law that we have ever had. The responses to the News and Courier is assuring, and there need be no doubt that the decent people or South Carolina will resent the attempted rule of this 6t&te by the foreign liquor dealers and their agents. South Carolina rose in her might and threw off the yokeof the rule of the alien in 1876 and we think there Is enough of that spirit left in the State to resent the Judicial Interference with our laws by the liquor dealers of other states. Either our own people, or foreign liquor dealers must rnle South Carolina. Which shall it bet Will a people who won Buch Tenown In war, sacrifice private character and public respect, by submitting to the rule of western distillers of corn liquor? This is a land of bibles and schoolhouses, and not the conquered and abject territory of the foreign liquor dealer. Is This Despotism or Tj runny ? At the protest of citizens of Hogatisville, Georgia, tbe President of the United States appointed an objectionable person as postmaster of that place. That objectionable person was a negro. Whether the objection was raised because of the character, or because of an]y special disqualification, or simply because he was a negro is not stated. But no matter whether the objection was reasonable or unreasonable, the Presi. dent of tbe United States should respect tbe will of the people. It is their right to expect consideration at the bands of tbe President. If this country is a pocket borough of the President, and it be may put bis beel on the necks of tbe people, we ought to know it. The question of the fitness or unfitness of tbe applicant for the appointment of post, master should not have been considered, when the fact was known that the people did not want him. The opposition was so great that the negro was shot, and the whole community are suspected of more or less criminality in tbe act. Imagine, if you can, a more outrageous act on tbe part of any President. The presumption on the part of the President in charging the community?with sym ivi tuc ^/ci^ontxivir ui iue crime, pre-| sumes the knowledge on the part of the i President that he was violating the proprieties and decensies of his office by sending a postmaster who was so distasteful as to in" duce bloodshed. The President has the army and navy at his command. He has the legal right to worry and outrage the sentiment of the people, and he has the power to punish them for the legitimate wrath which his own out rageous conduct may arouse. To settle the question of competency to fill the office was the President's duty. The question as to whether the individual was desired, was for the people to decide. The Czar of Russia would no doubt have more respect for his subjects than to appoint an objectionable postmaster. Some Kicking. we learn that there Is kicking on the part of some of the citizens In the newly acquired territory of this school district, because of the debt on the school house. While we know nothing of the law on the subject, yet it would seem that all the property of the school district should bear its part of the burdens. We know of no equity which would give the school house to the whole district and require a part of the district to assume the whole debt. The school house belongs to the whole district. The tax to pay the teachers, like the tax to pay for the school house, > should be borne by all. It would seem that the duty of the Auditor Is plain. He should charge up tbe tax. and then if he errs in this way the court can rectify his acts. The dissatisfied citizen should take legal steps to obtain his rights. x The court is unbiased and will likely render a decree that would make it clear to every body. ?? An Object LeNNun. Hardworked country editors who write weekly a half column of long;primer, and clip columns ofjmatter,from daily newspapers, can find an object lesson in the work of Miss Mary Hemphill, Editor of the Abbeville Medium. Resides writing columns of ed. ltorlals and locals, she sets type, arranges the forms and makes up the mails. Last Wednesday the new advertisements which ap peared In the paper, kept her and her young lady type-setters hard at work until nearly daylight next morning. She has a corps of ' young ladies, who set type of the plain reading sort, but when it comes to se'ting advertisements Miss Hemphill does that herself The young ladies of the Medium office are faithful workers and never flinch when there is a rush of business.
