How as good and as wide awakea newsK fif paper as the News can be opposed to the dls,.W pensary Is more than we can understand. jF That paper Is all right, except on the dispense* sary question, For this reason we regret i especially to see that paper get on the wrong I i Bide.

Iii me in ewB wouia examine lis own pa^es, as well as tbe pages of other dally newspapers, It would see the difference In tbe number of homicides committed In this State and else where. Very few men are killed In the absence of liquor. Since the liquor men of tbls fetaMttiave abandoned their efforts to over^^Khe laws of the State, very few homicides occurred where constables were con' |^Ked. SftfaH Tbe Liquor BnRlnem. HBHncreased sales of liquor from tbe dlsK^Kary may be accounted for In tbe fact that ^ law Is better enforced, and that tbe oppoHoa to the law Is dying out. But tbe dlfKenoe may be attributed to the evil influBice of the dispensary, according to the bent pf one's mind. Some people think half dozen bar rooms, with doors open half the night, sometimes not kept closed on Sunday, are not as influential for evil as one dlBDensarv.

While we think it makes little dlfforence as to tbe date when taxes are to be paid, yet we j do think it a great wrong to try to tool tbe people every year. The time for collecting taxes, without penalty, has been extended to March 1st. Tbe testimony of taxpayers in all parte of * the State has been to tbe effect, that the time limit should be extended to, say tbe first of 1 March. The testimony has been so unani- ? mous for so many years that our law makers should recognize a fact. Let them then open the tax books on the { first of March. As every taxpayer has the right to wait to the last day, our Legislators j should not close their eyes to that facl.

To get this money It would be only necessary fr?r ihs Sirnfa tn matin a llhpral rllsnnuat to those who paid early.

AN OLD FBIEND ! ' L Visits tbe Scenes of His Childhood? ( Stories of Printer Boys in the Fif- 5 ties. Mr. John T. Darlington, of Lenksville. N.C., f whh In town las' Friday. He cama down ? (rum Due West with Ills sod, Mr. Fred Darlington, who is a printer In the Presbyterian 1 office of that city. t Mr. Darlington, like all old men, loves to r return to the scenes ol his boyhood. His pa- ^ rents lived in Abbeville when be %vas a little ' lioy. He says that there are lew men here C loday that be knew away back In the tlltles. a He remembers Capt. L. W. White, as a little boy. when both went to school to Mr. Morse. u In Ihn HfHpii hits narpntja rnovprl in tliifi Wput (] when be and his brother, Manly Darlington, (] entered the Presbyterian office, which was iben the Due West Telescope office, in the ' sarly part of 18W. V Mr. Darlington and his brother served in o the Cou federate army. Manly died duriug t the war. : For many years Mr. Darlington has been t: it the printing busltieHS at Leaksvllie, N. C., e iud he has succeeded well in earning a competency. He feels that be is uow ready for living. While he is ready for the summons y to go hence, yet he would be glad If he were y not, so far down the western slope. Mr. Darlington has five sons, and he has '* reason to be thankful that they are doing so u well. To the youngest he ba? turned over his n newspaper in Leaksvllle, and he is prosper- * iuu. The oldest is at Due West, a good print- ? it aud a handsome man, who is well equipp- b id for the battle of life. Mr. Darlington has a job office in Leaksville, and Is doing the job printing lor the several cotton mills in his neighborhood. It was while printing for one of these mills that p ne learned that Capt. Ij W. White wa6 still ? iving. When one of the mills tilled an or- e Jer for goods for him be printed the label y which indicated that they were manufactured M, expressly for L. W. White of Abbeville. His ' was the only name from Abbeville that Mr. ,! Darllneton recognized as being one of his ac- a jualntances at Abbeville. r The editor of the Press and Banner of today went to Due West in the early part of 1S51. ? Mr. Darlington came three years later, and y set in to learn the printing business In the g same office. This editor has always cherished ? * friendly feeling lor all the boys of those v years with whom be was associated, and for a ione have I more pleasant recolleotions than (j ror John Darlington. The foreman of the office part of the time 0 was Mr. H. L. Holland. Mr. Darlington says mat tie ih huii living ano ue musi now nearly 0 each bis four soore years. I remember him t uoBt pleasantly. Ho and Capt. H. D. Wray C) printed Samuel Jordan's book, "The Ensign u >f Liberty, or the Wicked One Revealed"? k fobn C. Calhoun being the wicked one. The ,ype and presB were bought In Hamburg dur- Q ug the forties. The material had been used n printing thedefunctHamburg Republican. Not the kind of Republican that is so odious ,oday in the South.) The press and types ere placed in an old store bouse on Mr. Jor lan'slarm. The press was a Smith, secondhand. The type was small fonts of small }lca, long primer and brevier. The imposing .tone bad been lnsorlbed for a tombstone, but t was never called for, and the marble cutler ft lold it to be used for the less 6aored purpose >f an imposing stone. The stone is still In he office, and 1 remember the awe In which [ heard the story, but 1 did not examining he inscription on the under side at the time. : did, however, see it later. It is, the only si ombstone that I ever knew to be used as an ? mposing stone In a printing office. * Mr. Jordan sold the whole outttt for &J25 in H $49. Rev. J. O. Lindsay and Rev. J. 1. Bon- n ier used it to print the Krsklne Miscellany, r, ve believe the tirst religious weekly news)aper that was ever published for the Asso- 'd :late Reformed Presbyterian Church ln-tbr ]< South.

Adam Gervin and Frank Gerk came from <t he Charleston Orphan House In the fifties to u learn tbe printing business at Due West, r jervln weut to Florida long ago, and that is 1 he last that I hoard of him. Frank Gerk is still in tbe office, and has been there longer u than any one connected with tbe institution, . He has been all bis life noted lor bis fidelity 11 to tbe office in which he learned to set type. M. P. Stamen, whom we all called l'ink a Stamen, was a noted character in the Due , West office along in the fifties. He was a A' treat reader. Among other things that he $ read was tbe sermons which were published ^ In the Augusta Chronicle. He was not at all . pious, but.be read the sermonB all the same. [ have lost sight of him lor many years, but I nm under tbe Impression that be Is ator near |, tVtbens, Ga. At one time he was a lawyer. ' His fondness for sermons made such an im- c' presslon on me when I was a boy that I have. ?lnce owning the Press and Banner, fuvored f the nubilrattou of duIdIi dellverances. Id the fifties, when still quite young, I was ^ present when an editor's wife lectured him fl an (be impropriety ol publishing articles j. which bordered on the vulgar, or suggested , unutterable things. She said that profanity c might sometimes be excusable, but that vulsarlty was never permissible. The hearing of that lecture made Ms Impress, and in after years ween I became interested In the Press c and Banner, I made it an invariable rule to exclude anything which would suggest vui- j garlty. In more than forty years a newspaper experience I have never knowingly printed a 11 vulgar word or vulgar expression. ] Remembering, too, what the good woman ,1 said about the excunablllty of profanity, 1 for years, if copying testimony before tbe court* ^ or coroner, kept strictly lo the lest, and printed the profanity along with the re*t. Some a len or fifteen years ago. a good old man of this county, wbo ban long since gone to bis 0 reward, sent a copy of tbe PresB and Banner a to a trlend across tbe water. Tbe lady In acknowledging receipt of tbe paper, said she thought "tbe editor of the Press and Banner a must be a mighty good man." My old friend li told me what the good woman said, and ber ,i speech made its Impress. It was worth much, and from that day 10 this, I have tried to he t still more careful as to what may go into tbls newspaper. j, , r 9 I McDIll A I.von'h I.ocp.In. v We are the right people to buy furnlUue from. ^ njQj Prices and good treatment Is a tlsement.

IMAGINARY FACTS. f Corporations I>l?l These Thlnjfs, Then Tbrjr Would bo Very Xnnschty Indeed.?Mr. .Horse Takes Issue with the Press and Rnnner. editor Press and Banner: Dear Sir: I read with much pleasire and interest your most excellent irticle in last week's Press and Hauler, entitled, "Trusts and Corporaious," and while not depreciating its iterary merit in the least, I must say hat I differ with you somewhat on wine points. I may be wrong in my dea as to what constitutes a "trust," >ut it is this: A trust is a combinaiou of capital for the purpose of dejreciating the price of raw material ind raising the price of manufactured irtinlpa uhnvp ji lpjrif i m?t,p nrnfi f. I am igainst all such and I think everyone vho htopn and thinks on the subject a ew moments will agree with me that [ aui right. A cotton mill or a railroad is not leceesarily a trust, as you seem to hink, hut if all the cotton mills in the Juited States were to bind themselves ogether to pay but 7 cents a pound for food cotton and then sell at wholesale irdinary white homespun at 12 cents i yard, that would be a trust, ' Had you noticed in Bradstreet's re>ort a few weeks ago that they made he statement, based on actual statisti:al facts, that it cost today ?1.50 to buy he same amount of the actual necesfaies of life that in the year 1897 cost but 1.00? Aud why is it thus? All beiause of the trusts. I don't know that >uy one is opposed to the combination if capital for the purpose of carrying " ?? ? o lortUimotu ttionnar Hllfr T '11 liauc 1l1 a ir^iu ujaic uiuu v? v. ? , uub jl lo think that everyoue, except the ca>italists who are interested in it, are ery much opposed to the combination f capital for the purpose of lowering he price of the raw material and enlaucing the price of the mauufacturd article. ! I notice you also make mention in our article about children working in otton factories. Any one knows that child under 13 years of age has uo iusine?s working day in aud day out, nonth in and month out, in a factory, arm, shop, otlice, or anywhere else, ut that that child should be at school eceiving a rudimentary education. It s a great, great pity that there is not n the State of South Carolina a comulsory education law, compelling evry child between the ages of G and 12 ears, inclusive, to go to school at least even months during the year. There i not a more pitiful sight than to bee grown man or woman wno can t ead, write or ligure. The State is full f such now among the whites, but liO ears hence, at the rate things are now oing at, there will he three illiterate liite men and women where there are t present one. When a person sitH own and calmly thinks over It the utlook for the future is truly appaling. I would like to write more fully upn this subject, but fearing that I may ake up too much space in your vulable paper, and thanking you for so indly allowing me this much, 1 reado, as ever.

As tbcpatient begins to regain health and strength more solid food is given ?milk or cream toast, soft boiled or poached eggs, cereal mushes, stewed or sometimes fresh fruits or a -well baked potato. Great care must be taken not to overtax the digestive organs, ltelapses are often caused by too much indulgence of the patienfa appetite at this stage. One must advance slowly and with great care. A broiled bird or a piece of rare beefsteak or a chop may be given when the patient is in a sufficiently advanced stage of recovery. Oysters arc almost always allowed and are both palatable and easily digested If perfectly fresh and not too much cooked. When they are overcooked, the albumen beeomcs hardened, very tough and difficult to digest. Cook them only until the gills begin to curl. Cream soups are valuable, as they are nourishing aud easily digested, but they should not be boiled too long. A great deal of attention should be paid to the serving of food for a sick person. The faint appetite of illness can best be coaxed by the daintiness of the food. Serve the food on a tray with a fresh, white cover and be careful not to put so much on the tray as to crowd It. Better to serve too little and let the patient ask for more than to put so much on at one time that the sick one is immediately discouraged. A flower or a little sprig of green laid upon the white tray cloth is often an incentive to the indifferent appetite, but do not attempt a vase of flowers unless it be a very small and dainty one. Have the tray set with the prettiest china and glass obtainable, without too much col or, so as xo weary xne eye. il iue cuma Is all of a single pale tint, the effect will be very dainty and pleasing to the eye of the patient It must also be small enough to accommodate the size of the tray. Never let the tray or remains of food served stand in the sickroom after the patient has been fed. Let all hot foods be served immediately after they are prepared, and it seems superfluous to mention that all hot dishes must be hot and all cold dishes equally cold. However, this is not always done. Sometimes both the cold and hot dishes are allowed to stanrl until they reach the same temperature. There .are a great many simple, dainty desserts which may be served to the invalids, especially those made with eggs and gelatin. Ice cream is often given and is very nutritious and can be digested by some very ill patients, and It Is almost always relished. How to Whiten Ivory. Ivory may be whitened by washing well with soap and water and allowing It to dry in the sun. This process must be repeated for several days. If Hie ivory utr uluiuucu iu ouun. uvu>j article that cannot readily be moved, another process is to put a thin paste of lime over it until it turi^r white.. It is thru uruu anu pousnecL How to Core Insomnia. It Is now a generally recognized fact that one of the most prolific causes of Insomnia is overeating, that practice resulting usually in a disturbed condition of the digestive organs If in nothing more serious. The remedy In such cases Is obvious enough. Cases are common where insomnia of a protracted and stubborn nature has yielded to a period of fasting. There are few cases of sleeplessness, In fact. In which a little dieting may not be tried with good effect Copious drinking of cold water just before retiring is often highly efficacious. Deep breathing kept up as long as possible by will power Is a generally recommended remedy for occasional sleeplessness, the main aim being to keep the mind from thinking. How to Stew Mmhroomi. Remove the stems and peel the caps of two dozen large mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper and saute for five minutes in a tablespoonful of butter (hot), then add half a cupful of sweet milk into which has been stirred one-half a teaspoonful of cornstarch. Stir carefully and let it boil slowly for five minutes. How to Make Wine Whey. One pint of milk heated to 100 degrees F., one teaspoonful of prepared rennet and two tablespoonfuls of wine. Stir tho rpnnpt and the wine into the milk quickly, so that the wine may not curdle the milk in blotches. Let it stand in a warm place (on the stove hearth, for Instance) for half an hour, then separate the curd from the whey by straining. The whey Is excellent for children with delicate digestion i who need a little stimulant It is very good also as a drink for Invalids at any time. ' How to Make Cabbage Dressing, j Heat one-half cupful of cream, beat yolks of two eggs and rub one tablespoonful of cornstarch in a little cold milk. Add it to the scalding cream and add two beaten egg yolks. When ! thickened, remove and add two table! spoonfuls of vinegar and a few drops ! of lemon juice. How to Make Batter Button*. Beat a quarter of a pound of butter to a cream and stir in three eggs. When this Is done, add three large tablespoonfuls of flour, and salt to taste. rToir't? nn tho hnttpr in tinv Dortions with the tip of a small spoon, and let them simmer 15 minutes in clear soup which is boiling gently. They can be I eaten with this soup or served with J any other preferred. How to Serve Celery With Sanee. j Cook celery roots iu stock until ten! der. Make a sauce with a piece of butj ter, flour, a little salt and pepper, and ! when boiled five minutes pour it on the yolk of an egg.
