Opponent* of (he DlMpenxary Give Proof of I lie BenefllN of the DlapeuMry Restriction. Newberry Voice of Tbe People. The State, of Dec. 27. published an article, taken l'roin the Atlanta Journal, showing that on Saturday night before Christmas, Atlanta wxKln i lie hands of a moo, composed ot about 5000 people. We haven't space to give the enure artie e, but give extracts from It, wulcu show the tieipeas condition ol Georgia s capital city. Following this statement ot the ooudltiou existing in Georgia, we give reports from a lew cities in ->outh Carolina, all of which agree that, Christmas was remarkably quiet We believe South Carolina's I>ispensary law had a great deai to do witu the different condition* in this Slate aud Georgia. We believe too, that with a better administration ol said law, which we expect the coming session of tbe legislature to provide for, the Christmas reports In future will be even better than those given here. Atlanta Journal says: Drunken hoodlums reeled along the crowd eu IDOrougumic Willi vu polluted lips. Young boys of immature >ears surged tbrou,h the crowd* with brain on tire from excitemeut aud whiskey, yelling, tbey knew uot what for; figtnlug tbey cared not wlib wbom so long an tbe blows added to tbe riotous disorder. Tender maidens, crazed with tbe contagion of the wild nlgbt, Joined In with tbe hoodlums and bowllug youtbs ; forgot tbe digulty of true maidenhood and danced along tbe sidewalks wltb brazen affrontery; blew tin horns aud red streamers In tbe laces of straDgers and laugbed when strangers returned the rude affront. Society girls, who In other times would fly tor safety at tbe approach of disorder, threw aside fear and Bocial restraint on tbe approach ol Christ's birthday, and helped ruflUus desecrate the holy hours! Tbe disorder broke loose shortly after dark. It opened with popping firecrackers, blasts from tin horns and squeaks and squeals from God knows what internal Inventions lor Christmas desecration. It grew with tbe ad ' vanclng nlgbt. People left comfortable homes to get into the frightful clatter that soon swelled up from the small beginning. The flreorackers grew ln'o bombs, which were thrown indiscriminately Into tbe street* to Imperil IIle aud limb. The pans and other Instruments of outlandish uolse were added 1 to tbe horns to torture tue holy night. Masks , of frightful aspect appealed la the crowd. The Bpirlt of carnival grow Into the spirit of riot, and where Jests first held away brawis sprang up. Thousands were id ibe Neetblng * cauldron of senseless disorder by 10 o'clock ana at itial time do police power ia tue mate could have mopped tDe outrageous revels. The worst feature ol tbe night name shortly after 10 o'clock. Drunken menthed began to abuse and assault Inoffensive negroes wbo were out for tbe purpose ol spending tbeir cant week's wages for artloles ol Christmas cheer, titaiwart wblie rowdies beat negro women down on tbe pavement and smashed black faces wherever they appeared. One wild brute choked a negro womau almost lmo Insensibility near Rich's store,and several ol bis followers knocked ber Into tbe street as be staggered from bta grasp. Further down tbe street, near tbe Globe tore, a white man deliberately kuocked a negro womau flat In the street without provo eation. Tbe shoppers In one store ou ibe street were suddenly startled by tbe violent entrance into tbe piaueol several small biack boys, wbo rau la to escape irom a crowd pursuing them with the evident purpose of hammering ibem lor being on the streets. The pursuing crowd followed ine terrified negroe*to the door and turned away, seeking other victims lor their beatbenlsb enthusiasm. When the mercantile establishments closed tbeir doors lor iba Aigbt, working girls dared not go out Into the w J id disorder of tbe street.

Living; Down Consequence*. The natural consequences of sin, or the cnusequfiices of an unnatural life, are not obliterated by God's forgiveness. The world in which we live is planned as au immense demonstration of tbe value of virtue and the folly and danger of vice. The results of sin, the scars of fire, the consequences of dishonesty, impurity, intemperance, unkindness, survive the moment of forgiveness, and breed their brood? - --.1 O li.yt fnr. now long, wuo snau say i uu. givetiess, which is a changed relation to God, begins a changed relation to Hit* law. We start afresh with Him, loved, regarded as though uothing had happened, and a new set of consequences begins. The new life which God gives lights the consequences of the old. Weeds are pulled up and stop seeding themselves broken relations are repaired, old debt- paid, and wrongs righted. Moral degeneration is arrested. The demonstration of God'* law is made on the side of obedience through good, instead of bad, consequences. The life with God which forgiveues-s begins tends to abolish the rnsults of sin. Christ came to destroy the w<>r- s, the consequences, of the devil. Every scsr from past days, every survival of the old, will feed humility; but we belong to the God of hope, and fi^ht with Him for the triumph of the new and true, waiting for the promise.

A poor little girl was taken sick one Christmas, and carried to the hospital. While there she heard the story of Jesus coming into the world to save us. It was all new to her, but very precious. She could appreciate such a wonderful Saviour, and the knowledge made her very happy as she lay upon her little cot. Qne day the nurse came the usual hour, and "Little Broomstick" (that was her street name) held her by the hand and whispered : "I am haviu' real good limes here, ever such good times! S'pose I'll have togo 'way from here just as soou as I net well; but I'll take the good time along?some of it, anyhow. Did you kuow about Jesus bein' born ?" "Yes," replied the nurse, "I know. Sh-sh-sh ; don't talk any more." "You did ? I thought you looked as if you didn't, and I was going to tell you." "Why, how did I look?" asked the " lwxM i n KaW (nurse, rorgemug uci uiuwu .u curiosity. M "O, just like mott o' folks: kind*?' I glum.

Details of Conatractlon and Difficulties to Be Overcome?Many Good j Features of the Suggestion. General Roy Stone, director of road inquiry, department of agricaltnre, in circular No. 25 qnotea from The Engineering News regarding the laying of strips of brick paving in macadam roadways. The News says: , "It appears to ns that this oombina- j tion of brick and macadam is the t?q?i; promisln^'plan for the improvemeh1i$te4j suburban streets apd^untrir.roa^^H j heavy traffics that irf^appe^wMLin a' every engineer tie has to do.flrjSh'toftoadara roads. There are^msands of miles of city stre^.wherei&i abutting owners can ill afford the as&esamentB for the cheapest 3of block: ,;*? asphalt pavements,, and on the otbto liasd jtfeia : traffic is such that the maintenanoe af' present macadam streets is a heavy burden. Cannot the needs of sue ih oases be | met by placing a. brick roadway to* the middle of the street and (xfterigg jall the reet of the width between the Curbs with broken stond?" The News also makes an additional suggestion in tJte direction. Htrf economy which may well toad to fnrtber'experiment in this mc^dof construction. says: "But in localities where thereof* : long freightIbanl on j?Viii^,biick the expense of even a 7 foot strip of brick in a road might be prohibitory. In draft; localities the scheme is worth considffraj ing, it appears to us, of laying twopar|r allel narrow strips of paving through the middle of .a'j^^adiubin^^ as illustrated in the accompanying offWf section. These strips migfa* tie 16 to SO; \ inches in width and of Bt^^eange tfiiil i vehicles of all classes coi^a xWow thfeio as they would a line of raUs.' :, The derrenneH frrnoHnn nn ?noh a RTirfftoa WOuld be practically ad great as if steel rails were laid in the macadam, as has been proposed, and if properly laid they would wear a very long time under any traffic where a macadam road is justifiable at all. "There are thoueandsof places where a Bhort piece of roadway is subjected to a very heavy traffic. Such roads occur around factories, millB, mines, quarries, railway stations and many other places. In many of these places an ordinary CB088 SECTION OF BRICK TRACKWAYS, UNDERDRAINED AND STONE CURBED. dirt road is in rise, and teams are hauling over it loads cot one-fourth as large as they could haul over a bard surface. In many other cases stone roads have been laid and are effecting a great saving over the old dirt roads in cost of haulage, but are expensive to keep in repair under the heavy loads that pass over them. For such places as these the plan of UBing paving brick to take the heavy wear appears to be espeoially advantageous and deserving of extended\ adoption. "The details of construction, such as the foundation under the bricks, the rn^cfrnpHmi nf fho mnrnHflm nt: fhpir sides and between them, the filling between the bricks, etc., would vary with Jooal circumstances and with the teachings of experience, but they need not be IjiDflidereii&i a study of the merits of Vie scheme generally. "It may be pointed out also in this connection that such a strip of brick pavement as is here proposed would make an admirable road for cyoling, and the influence of that important body of agitators for road improvement might well be exerted in favor of this proposition." The drawbaoka to the narrow strip method of construction are the danger 4.L? A: U: in Ul LXJtJ UIUIJ^ UJL IUU UUMHUC l/liV>Ao IU driving on and off, or crossing the line with heavy loads, and the danger of disruption or displacement by frost.' ?j To meet the first of these difficulties a curbing of rorgh stone might be laid. If stone is not available, bricks oould be set on end for curbing, or a special form of brick might be designed for the purpose, of which the surface would form part of the traokway. In cases where damage by frost is to be apprehended on account of the character of the soil the construction might be combined with that of the Illinois farm roads used by Judge Caton. The combination would be as shown in the ar-rnrrmanvimr cut. The ditoh above the draintile could be filled with any coarse materials? field stone, or quarry spalls too soft or gravel too large for roads, or with the burned clay in lamps which is used for ballast on some of the prairie railroads ?this filling to be rammed or rolled down and covered with a little gravel and enough sand for bedding the bricks. A light coating of gravel would serve for the space between the traoka and outside of them. >'f . A road so built and protected should last for many years with no repair except to replace the gravel worn out by the horses' feet Wide Tixea Do the Best. f Many a county road, today a typical 'slough of despond," would be so improved by the use of wide tires properly arranged that repairing it to first j class oondition would require proper drainage only, by shaping the surface and keeping the side ditches dear, leaving the rolliug of wide tires to do the rest.?L.
