Tbe Literary Clob DJncnase* the Philippine iMlnmln. Tbe Abbeville Literary Club met last Frl day night at the Dome or Mr. Aug. w.smitn. Tbere were present lawyers, doctors, judges, preachers, teachers, editors, merchants, and other prominent citizens. In the discussion of the essay on expansion, tbere were till sorts of varying expressions, but no man expressed a desire or a willingness to part with the Philippines. One gentleman thought the assertion that we went to war with Spain for humanitarian reasons was the merest hypocrisy. While he was opposed to a war of conquest, yet be believed firmly In holding to all the territory wblcb had been acquired. Another gentleman was a little afraid that the acquisition of the Philippine islands might lead to the building of a great navy, wblcb might, for tbe want of something bettes to do, start out to seize anything in sightmaking wars of conquest. It was suggested by a member of tbe club that the Philippines might open a market for the manufactured goods of this country, and thus be of benefit to us. Another member was equally divided in opinion as to the advisability of annexing the Islands, or not annexing them, and bad lost no sleep on account of the Issue. It was suggested by another member, that If tbe Republicans and the Democrats went before the country next year on the question of giving up the Islands, that McKlnley would be re elected by nine-tenths of the popular vote?and the speaker was a true blue Democrat. A distinguished visitor bad given the matter but little Investigation. If the estimate of their value as presented by tbe essayist was at all correct, the islands would be worth much to us in many ways. Another speaker seemed to be under tbe impression that tbe Filipinos were all savages, and feared that we might be under the neoesslty of killing them In order to give place to better it.;n. It was then suggested that true progress In civilization followed tbe sword, and that as our form of government and our religion were tbe best tbe sword and tbe Bible should be sent to tbe Philippines. Id tbe bauds of missionaries big cannon carried conviction, and the religion of oar Saviour purified and sweetened the life of converts. On this line of thought It was suggested that the moral efl'ectof the government Jid much to foster religion; therefore, all Christian missionaries should be expansionists. A scholarly gentleman present urged that it would not Jo to reason from analogy, that because the oltlzens of former acquired territory became srood and loyal Americans, tbe people of tbe Philippines would therefore become reconciled to tbe change of government. Another speaker thought the Job of conquering tbe Filipinos might prove a very expensive one. He bad no doubt, bowever, that the United States would finally overcome them, and rule tbe Islands. Another thought that while we did not set OUl lO capture wo runijJiiiuon, ;oi uc uiu uut see how we could rid ourselves or them now. If we leave them to themselves, other governments would Immediately And a pretext for taking charge of them. If we undertake to transfer them to any one of the foreign powers other jealous government* might go to war with us for any attempt to give a neighboring nation such immense advantage as would be conveyed and held by the possession of the islands. Not a single word was said during the evening which led to the belief that auy man present was In favor of disposing of the Ulands In any way. It would have been worth the trip if the Hon. J. L. McLuurin had been present. "Reasoning by analogy," be would have felt assured that the people of South Carolina endorse bis action iu voting for the Baris treaty of peace.

One of tbe best features of the dispensary law lleB In tbe fact that Its enemies will see tbat It Is properly administered and honestly managed. Its enemies are bo watchful that its friends or supporters need have no fear of any great wrong doing on tbe part of the officers. Despite tbe fact that some good people are opposed to the law for various reasons, yet tbe great mass of the publio recognize great good in the law. -Recognizing good In the law the friends of the dispensary have reason to'be thankful for the watchfulness of its enemies. They will see that the oflenses of dispensary officers are aired, and the publio may be assured that no great wrong can long be contlnned without exposure, and with exposure comes the rectifying of existing evils. Good Cheer. An officer in one of the largest manufacturing establishments in this country, and tbe owner of 850,000 worth of stock in the Abbeville Cotton Mill, in writing recently to President Bailey, used these words: "We are pleased, and think yon'have reason to be satisfied with tbe results of the operation of tbe mill; it is an excellent piece nf nrnnprf.v nnrl ida fhlnkr If hnn a. hrlcrht. prospect before It." ComiDg, as it does, from a life-long mill man, who knows this mill thoroughly, an expression like the above 1b very gratifying. The mill is in splendid condition financially. All the home stock, (8100,000) has been paid for, and all the $300,000 of Northern stock has been placed. The mill is making money. A better showing would be bard to make. Tbe Dally Hall.

Morrow of this city, died last Monday evening, October 9th, 1899, at her home In Clinton, S. C. She bad been in declining health for sometime and friends and loved ones knew that It was only a matter of time before death would relieve her of her suffering.

Moriab church for interment, where a large concourse of friends and kindred had gathered to pay their last sad rites.
