Shameful Persecution. <7> The assailants of the dispensary are still furnishing to the newspapers literature of a noronnol nhflronfflp. Up to tbe time that tbe members of tbe Board of Control went Into office, we believe their good names had not been assailed, and now Just before tbe meeting of tbe General Assembly the enemies ot the law are presenting to the public various accusations against Individuals. Tbe law Itself is Impersonal, and If the officers have failed to do their duty, or If they have done those things which they should not have done, give them a bearing, and let the Just censure attend tbe true event. If there are any reasons lor believing that wrong has been done, let the Legislature Investigate tbe matter. But let the enemies of tbe law recognize the fact that neither tbe assassination of the * persons or the character of the officers will bring about a repeal or me law. Let them also remember that persecution of public offloer* Is no reason to repeal tbe law. Let the pabllo be the Judge as to whether , the members of tbe Board of Control have, or have not, been most wickedly and most unjustly persecuted for tbe last several weeks. The American people, as a rule, love fair play. They despise persecution, and tbe impulses of the better people Is to defend those who may be maliciously and continuously assailed. Even if tbe members of the Board of Control were as wicked as they are pictured to be, and even if It be admitted that their acts are reprehensible, does not tbe love of honor and fair play revolt at bounding down even the veriest of criminals? Has any man in South Carolina ever been perse outed in a manner oomparaDie wnn ine coarse wblob has been pernued toward tbe members of tbe Board of Control 7 If tbey bad so poisoned tbe llqnor as to kill every man tbat drank It, and If tbey bad stolen all tbe money, wonld not tbe publlo sense of >' decency long since bave revolted at tbe persecution which baa filled tbe newspapers for tbe last few weeks ? Let tbe members of tbe Board of Control t( be as wicked as possible, and let their aots be F aa reprehensible as possible; then they wonld t| not have done more violence to tbe pabllo g aense of honor than bave their assallaots. Tbeae people bave been assailed all along tbe line of the opposltlan nntll It seems to ns that the wlckedeat man In all the land Bhoald be satisfied. Is It not a poor specimen of t) humanity tbat Is never satisfied with cruelty? a In all conscience, bave we not had enough ? a ! a i Raised a Storm. ? Admiral Dewey, like Samson of old, has Q bad hla troubles. The Philistines captured Cl Samson and afterward put out hla eyes, tl When hla enemies were making sport or him, e he pulled down the pillars of tbe bouse wblch a then supported several thousand men and fl women. That house fell and Samson, like a hla enemies perished beneath the tailing h structure. 0 JDewey captured tbe capital city, and tbe e chief harbor of tbe Filipinos. His people t, went Into ecataclee over the act, and gave a tn him a. Ann hnnu In thfllr nwn rani La] dLv. Dewey showed bis appreciation of tbe gift by 0 giving to bis newly wedded wife. The people a were Indignant, because of tbe transfer of tbe a property, and to appease their anger tbe new- p ly wedded wife In turn gave tbe bouse to ber g husband's son. Up to this time Dewey bad never heard o anything of himself bnt praises, and tbls sud- t den obange from adolation to denunciation b was something for which tbe great admiral 0 was unprepared. He felt like dylDg and D almost wished that he bad not fought tbe t battle of Manila. But Dewey, unllfceSamson, has not pulled down tbe house, but still llves> and suffers tortures because of the criticisms which appear In print about the house ^ transaction. ^ And thus it is the great admiral does t not enjoy today tbe same glory that was |j unanimously aocorded him less than a month a ago. His boom for President Is euded, the a people's idol has been shattered. i, When great men go to fooling with gifts from the people their good name may be n bespattered. j. For our own part, we have no money In the ^ Dewey borne, ana perhaps bave no rlgbt u to speak of tbe matter, bat we think Dewey c lowered himself In accepting the house, and p then In transferring it to hlB wife, we believe 8 be violated every sense of propriety or exped ? lency. A great man like Dewey should not p allow anybody to take ap a bat collection for i< bis benefit. When a great man like Dewey t to accepts glftB from tbe mob, be certainly lowers himself in tbe estimation of at last c a portion of his admirers. t , , r c li The Nolo Island. 11 Much has been said of late about the mor- J alB of the people of the Suln Island. The harem, tbe slavery and the one-man power over the lives of the people bave been pictured in all its repalBiveness. These statemeats are constantly reviewed In tbe effort e to create sentiment against the United States L government in annexing these islands. If the statements of tbe Immorality Is trne, 0 tbe necessity for the annexation is most strongly pat. Believing as we do, that oar religion and oar form of government, are the beet Id tbe world, we are la favor of showing those people a better religion and a better t government than any of which they are now t acquainted. Christian people who favor for- t elgn missions?If they are honest and sincere " In their effort to extend tbe benefloent effects c of oar religion?mast favor the annexation s of heathen lands, or Islands. The beneflolal t effects of oar government, If extended to s these people, Is not to be denied by any man r who believes the statements which are made 1 aboat the present government of the lslandB, e and no Christian will deny the need of Bend- 1 , lng them the gospel. 1 Tbe moral effect of tbe civil government In l propagating religion Is not to be over-estl- g _ mated, and thone who spend money aod la- 1 Kaf i n cnroo h i rtrr tha rrr\a nnl no m n affnrH t r\ v IU DK?wuo 5UOJ/04 vouuuv auviu w ? disregard the valuable aid which the govern- c ment gives. i If the Christians In this country would ex- i pend on our Islands half the energy whloh Is e now being wasted In the effort to convert to i Christianity subject of governments, wblcb c are hostile to our religion, the results would 1 be most gratifying. l \ t -v i Robing Forward. People of AQbevllle manifest some Interest In the proposed new ootlon mill In town. ( Abbeville will s^and still until something Is done to developed the Interests of the town. When the right tube arrives let all our people ( give at least a litule help. "Many a mlckle makes a muckle." lAnd a united effort will build another mill. l?be more the merrier. ' A new cotton mill, a ntf<j* oil mill, and a new j ginnery are among the possibilities for Abbe- , vllle. ^ ? \ I Smith's Dry Gooo&and Millinery have some n&W things to show you. \ i ?nee?????BMg I ? 4 ^ I TH? 73 -K C The 1 cS o The O on All-Wi & P. S.Cotton Mill Men Coming. Northern stockholders of the Abbeville CotDn Mill will arrive in special cars on next 'rlday, the 8th of December proximo, and ae meeting will be held at nine o'clock on aturday morning, the 9th. These Northern gentlemen who own the illl will be heartily welcomed by the home eople who are friendly to the mill, or who iay own shares 1q that Institatlon. The dls ingulsbed visitors are experienced mill men, nd their annual Inspection of the business nd machinery of the cotton mill la the best B8uranoe that the mill Is wisely and Judllously managed. They own a number of outbern mills, and we believe that do fallre of aoy one of the mills has yet been reorded. They are mill experts, and when bey see a mill they are able to suggest a remdy for any defects that may occur. As far s the home people know, the mill Is now Id rstclass condition. The three per cent, lvldeud which was paid last week, was an onest, square act. The money was paid out f the earnings of the mill, and there Is still nough In the treasury to pay something like en per ceDt. more If it were deemed ad viable or expedient to do so. From start to finish the houses and the mahlnery Is flrstolass, and was bought by the dvlse of Architect Greene, and with the conent and concurrence or the beet and most exerlenoed cotton mill men in the United itates. All of Abbeville welcomes within the gates f the olty the men of the North who ave made the Abbeville Cotton Mill a possllllty. The mill has been worth much to the lty, and It is hoped that those wbo put their Qoney into it may be abundantly satisfied. The Philippines. It now looks as if peaoe would aoon be esabllshed In the Philippine Islands. Part of igulnaldo's cabinet has been captured, and be cavalry are In pursuit of tbe fugitive Fllplno general. His army in Luzon has been cattered, and tbelr chances for future reslstnce is very slim, altbougb some more flghtng may possibly oooar. At no time has it een thought that he had more than 20,000 aen, and this number must have been great7 reduced of late through the casualties of rar. It Is to be presumed that his soldlers> Ike our own, suffered from tbe hardships InIdent to a running flgbt. He is now suposed to be in the mountains, where be might ucoes8fully hide If It were not that disloyal ltlzens among his own people will report his reaence to our cavalry. He may seek to save tbe island by boats, but In this be will ardly be suooessful. The prospects for peace must be very dlsouraglng to that portion of tbe people of bis country who expect to enter tbe political ampalgn under tbe flag of "Antl-?xpan8lonBts." The possession of the Philippine 9lands la an aooompllshed fact, but those pol. tlclans who oppoee the government In its eforts to restore peace, may have hoped that e insurrection in tbe rmuppines woaia ielp them to elect a President who would irlng dishonor to tbe soldiers and tbe govrnment by withdrawing from the most vallable acquisitions of tbe war. With peace restored to the Philippines their intl-expanslon Ideas will avail bat little. Tery Annoying. Tbe U. S. Cavalry has bean very annoying o Agulnaldo. They obtrude themselves on ilm, even In his retreat. Wherever be goes he cavalry bother him. At last accounts tbe oreeter" companies bad captured part of bis ablnet, and some of his family; and he blmelf waB reported to be hiding In the mounains. It begins to look aa If tbe guerrilla tage of warfare was all that is left. The guerilla warfare so far as Boldlers are concerned, s of oourse a mytb, but after every war, In ivery country, there Is more or less of law easness. There are highway robbers wbo lave some chance of plying their business. Vnd tben there are men wbo have personal Uttnn/IA. Ia milk knvn |i IV ? ? livvl bV IClklC TY1VU IUC11 UC1(^U UU1D, 3ut highway robbers and assassinators are >y no means to be regarded as soldiers. SolUers In honorable warfare lay down their irms when their government has been deitroyed, or when their officers have either mrrendered or ran away. While war is carried on by an aggregation of soldiers, under sommand of recognized officers, yet war Is mpersonal. No man assumes to go to war or his country on his own account. And no ;rue soldier ever seeks to lie In wait for the inarmed citizen. 300DS AT YOUR OWN PEIOE. lantH Claus Coming; In Royal Nplen dor and Laden with Goods Tilings for the Children.

The Charleston News and Courier, In appa rent serlousneag, suggests a return to the license system of dealing wltb liquor. Under tbe circumstances we do not see bow tbe Legislature at Its next sitting could do any Bach thing, even If It were desirable at any other time. Persons who oppose the dispensary should first become law-abiding citizens. As long as certain coteries of oitlzens assume to be above tbe law, tbelr demands Bhould not be yielded to by tbe Legislature. As a government does not treat wltb those who are In rebellion against It, so tbe government should not treat wltb lta own subjects as long as they openly defy the law. Let Charleston's liquor dealers obey tbe law as It now stands. The State would deserve public contempt if the Legislature allows Illicit, liquor dealers to dictate tbe laws of tbe Commonwealth. , Tbe recent persecution of tbe members ol the Board of Control will likely avail noth< log, except more firmly to establish tbe best ilnuor law that tbe temnerance people have ever secured. EnlnrElns Its Organization. The Greenville News will not be without supportors Id Its flgbl for pure Democratic principles. From the following paragraph it will bd seen that the Greenville News Is get* ting ready to muster a considerable force: The News says; Will the Darlington News and the Dewey Eagle kindly move along the perch a little to make room lor the Charleston Poet? Thai newspaper has now oome to roost with as on the lonely bat enviable eminence o( real democracy. It lb against the dispensary and Ben Tillman in the Btate, for the gold standard and the pushing of the war to victory In federal politics. These high qdalltles and demonstrations of democratic principle entitle It to a place. We yet have under consideration the cases of the Oconee News, the Yorkvllle Enquirer, the Abbeville Press and Banner, the Gaffney Ledger, and the Newberry Observer, and some otber brethren which range from one-hall to two thirds right. If the anil-dispensary plank of the News was taken op and carried off to make kindling wood that newspaper might goon enroll ander lta banner a great number of newspa. pers, and what was started out as a Joke may in reality make the News a power In the politics of this State. Whether the News Is ambitious or not It Is not for us to say, but it Is certain tbat South Carolina needs an outspoken paper, which refuses to be bound to tbe 16-to-l chariot. Stockholder*' Meeting. Stockholders of the Abbeville Cotton Mill met last Monday afternoon in the office ot Parker & Greene. Mr. J. R. Blake, Jr., was called to preside. Mr. Parker wasseoretary of tbe meeting. Upon a call of tbe roll It was found tbat a quorum was not present, ana tne meeting adjourned to meet at the mill office at nine o'clock on Saturday, December 9tb. It Is hoped that every shareholder In the mill may meet the Northern stockholders. It matters not bow few, or bow many, Bhares the citizen may own, the presence of every stockholder Is desired. The Northern stockholders will leave on the eleven o'clock train, and a prompt assembling of the local stockbolder will be pleasant and profitable to all. Let our people meet our Northern guests face to face, and know more of them and their ways than we now know, and let them know more of us than they now know, STILL PUKSUING, General Tonug in Full Chase After Affnlnaldo ?

General Young is till in pursuit of Agulnaldo, who is beading for Banguel mountains near tbe west coast, and is probably following tbe military road wblcb runs close to tbe westcoast. General Young, with cavalry and scouts, is fol[ lowed by four battalions. Young's reception by the insurgents whs enthusiastic. A report from Seamboanga says tbe insur| gents surrendered their heavy artillery to the navy and since have surrendered toNIcbol 179 rifles and four breach loading cannon. Order is restored In the town and vicinity. Colonel Bell, of tbe SMth volunteers, arrived jat Mangalaren last evening after a hard marob and fording the Agno. He found that Fowler's company of the 38d bad occupied tbe town for two days. The Insurgents, General Alejandrlno commanding, retreated to the mountains behind the town.short of food and ammunition. Besides this. Lis men were deserting aud six cannons which tbe insurgents were dragging Impeded their march. Colonel Bell proposes to follow the Filipinos until he can bring about a decisive flgbt, or they are scattered. Mangalaren was strongly fortified with rifle pits commanding the road, but the Insurgents abandoned the place without firing a shot.
