Where are the Prohibitionist* *
If we are not !n error, the prohibitionists
sometime ago were very Dolsy, and were frequently
repeating the arguments of the license
advoroates against the dispensary. In
their holy zeal they seemed to have no realization
of the fact that they were fighting in
the ranks ot the license advorcates, even if
they were not attempting to be their captains
and colonels of the liquor crowd. During the
lttlng of the Legislature It seems to as the
prohibition leaders of the license advorcates
went into a hole or played on a very small
fiddle.
Vn hfvir would denv that the traffic in II*
quor is one of the moat difficult problems be
fore the people.
As a rale, the liquorelement has paid little
attention to prohibitory laws, but the dispensary
law has been fought from first to
last. ,
As we believe, the liquor associations of the
country, have tried to prevent the enforcementof
the law. The courts have been appealed
to, and temperance people have aided
comforted or encouraged the license adver
cates In their efforts to break down the law.
And It seems to us that some of the opponents
of the law have been a little careless In ascertaining
facts, and have not been quite as fair In
their speech as they should have been.
We all know that the use of liquor as a beverage
Is one of the greatest evils from which
we sutler. But all of us do not know that It
Is well to atop the sale of liquor at sun down.
Some of ub think that it Is best to keep the
bars open until ten or eleven or twelve o'clock
at night where men and boys may assemble
I and drink. Someof us do not believe that it
Is well to close at night the doors when the
debased may corrupt the better cr(more innooent
man or boy. Someofus prohibition ists
have expended their energies against the disrvnnaarv
without once ADDeallnz to the better
natures of oar people in any effort to dissuade
them from contracting the drloK habit. Some
of as prohibitionists do not recognize the fact
that the dispensary gives prohibition from
sunset to sun rise.
In tbe Legislature, the worst and most dan*
gerous proposition as to liquor has been
made, namely: High license. Abbeville bas
bad all sort* of llqnor laws, but our testimony
wonld be, tbat high license Is tbe most obJec_
\ tloDable of Blithe methods of handling liquor.
- 'First. It deprives the poor man of a fair
z chance, and drives blm out of business.
Second. It gives a monopoly to the rich,
and fnrnlsbes tbe power to oppress.
Third Tbe danger is tbat when a man bas a
monopoly of tbe liquor traffic, be may use ex
tortlon, and the wonder la. If the liquor is as
pure as when there is more competition.
cQflioot rooAllontlnn there
have been rich bar keepers who have advorcated
high llcenae.
Fifth. UDder do Bystem of license has the
short measure been'absent. Under any license
that we ever bad, "sixes" and not
"quarta" were tbe rule. Under the dispensary
law honest measure Is given.
81xtb. Even admitting that the dUpesary
la bad, It Is certainly not as objectionable to
temperance men as Is tbe bar.

? * Death of Hon. W. H. Parker.
Hon. W. H. Parker of this city died In
Greenville on Tuesday,; February 7,1905, and
bis remains were brought back to Abbeville
on Friday. A delegation went to Hodges to
meet tbe corpse, and at tbe Abbeville station
\ nearly all tbe old people and many of tbf
younger people of the town met the train.
Business houses were closed, and a great
multitude attended the funeral service at tbe
episcopal uiurcu, AUUC grave iuo soivitr
was conducted by tbe preachers and tbe
Masons. And so It Is, after nearly four score
years of labor In all tbe lines of usefulness
the body of Mr. Parker was laid to rest among
kindred and friends who bad preceded blm to
tbe spirit land. A wealth of flowers adorned
the mound of clay that wrapped tbe honored
dust.
True and faithful In every relation Mr.
Parker's fidelity and sincerity was never
doubted. Whether as friend, as citizen, as
lawyer, as Mason, or as Churchman he was
always to be depended upon. All knew
where to find him.
As one who moved In tbe higher and tbe
parer atmosphere, be commanded tbe good
_ will and respect of all men. His life and his
character are a rich heritage, and a loving
people will always honor his memory. His
devotion to blB children was beautiful, and
tbeir emulation of his splendid character
was tbe patriarch's crown.
it,
Senator Tillman'* Illness.
Senator Tlllmau, accompanied by bis phi v
alolan, is off for consultation with medical
;j men in Baltimore, out we are assured mat no
:* grave apprehensions are fell fjr bis safety.
Tne physician goes along wltn him out of
abundant caution, or words to that effect.
Well, now, we do not see wby the actual {
facts may not be stated, or wby the fears may
not be expressed In print. Senator Tillman
' -> la not a baby tbat he must have a physician
^ to travel about with him.
At present no man in South Carolina fills
bo large a place In the public eye. He has
made a greater Impress upon the State than
baa any other man in this generation, and
the people are interested In blm, and bave a
right to expect oorrect information as to his
tfue condition. If he bas cancer of the throat,
why not say so? Ifhehas other serious ailments,
why conceal the fact?
The indications are, that Senator Tillman
is a very 111 man, but the people do not un
i derstand the evident intention of concealing
X his true condition.
Increased Respect.
The conviction and execution of Ex-Mayor
McCue of Charlottesville, Va., Increased our
respect for the Courts and tbe chief executive
who refueed to pardon or commute the sentence.
If other Governors had tbe backbone to
refute to set aside tbe verdicts of jurors we
would have fewer killings. Ifjurora In other
States would convict "prominent" evil doers,
as they did In Charlottesville, Va., tbe ordinary
man would be more careful about taking
human life.
We saw by tbe newspapers that efforts were
being made to save McCue from tbe gallows
and we never doubted but that the Governor
would find some pretext for Interfering
with the action of tbe Courts. The practice
of acquitting "prominent people" is so common
that tbe conviction was a surprise. And
we could hardly believe that the Governor
would fall to give tbe desired relief in this
instance.

Who are the I'iiohrisliau???
"Whv Is it I tint a'! men in a Christian land
are not Christians?"
It was Dr. F. Y. I'ressiy that asked thin
question last week iu the Associate Ktformed
Presbyterian. Because of our high personal
regard for him, and because of bis blub
standing In the church, and because of h!B
well known conspicuous position In the
world of letters, we refer to bh Inquiry, no.
that we expect to teach blui anything, but
that we ma,* learn something from him
Outside of theologicil circles we believe
jhe world concedes that the prevailing
religion of a country Include? in that religion
every person who does not renounce that
religion or who does not embrace another
religion. Then f rom a lay man's standpoint.
hs a matter of fict, und as a matter of correct
speech, all persons iu this country who do
Dot embrace another religion, or renounce
tbe prevailing religion, are Christian?.
Laymen would ba interested iu knowing
bow the question is regarded in tlieol ogy
????' from Itin rpcfli>n Plliiln It. would
be interesting to know ibe theological
dividing line which separates the Citizen
in this country from Christianity.
Does the Dootor draw the line at church
fellowship?
Does be put the "unchristian" amongj those
who are In the communion, but whose lives
are notoriously at variance the rules
and precei-ts as.laid down by our Savior?
Does be include among the "unchristian"
such of his fellow-citizens as live much more
nearly In accord with the Divine precepts
than do the unworthy churchmen, but who.
from fear of unworlbiness, do not formally
take upon themselves the cburchly vows?
Would the Doctor designate ms "uncbrlstlan,"
the man who took In Christianity with
his mother's milk, and who in after life,
strives to exemplify the great ana living
truths of the sacred volume which are more
lasting than the everlasting bills, and upon
which the church itself was organized ?
Would the Doctor designate as "unchristian"
those who support the Christian institutions
with their means ?
It would be more profitable and more instructive
if our beloved friend would be
more explicit in hisspeecb. Let us know by
what method of reasoning he came to the
conclusion that a part of lhl6 people are "un
christian," and upon what facts he pro.
nounces judgment against his fellow citizens.
And, if it be true, as the Doctor Indicates,
that many of our people are "unchristian."
ha miffht tell us something as to what the
pulpit is doing to Christianize tbe "unoh.-lstian"
bomefolk while laboring with fucb fer.
vor in foreign lands.
Smallpox Abonndfl.
It seems that smallpox Is well scattered
over tbe State, and In some places tbe officials
of tbe towns or tbe Staie bave put their
heels on tbe people with as much force as
oould be donejln Russia, even in time of war.
At Dillon, some very well meaning officers
quarantined smallpox patients p.nd set
armed guards about tbem.
Tbe cruelty and injustice of such a course
is plainly seen wben it is known that smallpox
Is a preventable disease, and a disease
which no one need have except at his own
cbolsr.
| Vaccination makes tbe cttlzen immune,
and no one bas a right to complain, if be
neglects a duty to himself and to bis family.
To quarantine a smallpox patient is to deprive
bim of bis liberty, and for that deprivation
be might have a remedy in the Courts.
We know of do way to make mensels a preventable
disease, but still nobody ibinks o'
Imprisoning a citizen who spreads tbe unpresentable
disease.
We even allow the keeping of pl?c penp, a
fruitful source of typhoid. We sometimes
quarantine the pestilential bog which spreads
at. unpreventabie disease, but should tbe
citizen, with a preventable disease be penned
up,and kept off the streets? When people
refuse or neglect to be vaccinated it is their
right to have smallpox, and nobody bas a
right to Interfere with or to abridge that
right. If pretty women take their chances
at marking their faces, why should the faces
of great ugly men be guarded ?
MIIch and Davlf).
It would seem to U6 that it Is a proper time
>o cease tbe discussion of the act of General
Miles in shackling Mr. Davis. Tbe fame nn?l
glory of the South's great leader is safe from
harm, and it would.seem that bis friends and
kindred need not now whJne and cry over
the Indignity that was heaped upon him. A
brave people should not do this. Some men
have actually expressed greater hatred of
Miles than of Pontius Pilot. Miles was n
youDg man when he Bhackled Mr. Davis.
He Is old now, ana no aouot ne 16 sorry lor
bU mistake. Let him rest and let blm die in
peace. Nothing that be has done or ran do
can Injure Mr. Davis tn tbe minds and
hearts of those who revere his memory.

With the Increased banking ability and
with the farmers' determination, It seems
that tbe farmer will hereafter have something
to say about the price of his products.
By united action the farmers have increased
tbe price of cottou by at least five dollars a

but when tbe price goes up to the proper
point tbe cotton mill move.
Of Con rso.
We see itstated that all the Southern Senators,
who are on the cotnmi ttf*? to look lnt:>
the advisability or tbe legality of allowing
Senator Smoot of Utah, to hold hl6 seat, will
vote against him.
We have seen no statement to that efTect
but we presume all tbe Southern Senators
will vote against Swayne.
It will be recollected that ail the Southern
Senators,(except John L. Mcl-auren. the wisest
of them all.) voted against tbe Phil'i
pines.
All the Southern Senators voted asa'.nst the
Panama canal, or the treaty by which the
canal was secured.

honest and fair. Whether ?he Mall agrees or

the public it always ci ducts itself as a ^

Having the ability and the ready wit to take

Able to take care of itself the Mail is not

(Washington Post)
We note in the esteemed Atlanta
onstitutiou another evidence of the
outheru tendency to take to heart^the
ostile comments of Northen newspa2rs,
whether they proceed from hon>t
iguorauce or deliberate misrepresitation.
Some days ago, for inance,
the Philadelphia Press indulg1
itself in a throughly characteristic
mKot if ia nloaooH t a rnr\rn_
utr ieuuc i\i wuav it iv ivpv- j
yt to its readers as "conditions at the
>utb." Whether it knew better, we
jve no means of knowing. This Is
hat it said;
"Booker Washington says that the
jgroes of Georgia own over $30,000,
10 in taxable property, though it is
isessed at 18,700,000, or in the same
oportion as that of the white man
ut however much property they may
vu, it doesjnot qualify them in that
:ate to vote. It speaks well for the
igroes, who not very long ago were
aves, that they have acquired that
uch property in a State where they
e discriminated against in so many
ays by law and custom. Given
[iial opportunities in education and
herwise aud the negroes will be able
i look out for themselves."
Whereupon, the Constitution, proteds
to explain, at great length, and (
ith affectionate attention to detail,
lat the Georgia laws do not make the
ast mention of literacy as a necessary
lalification for the suffrage, or preiribe
auy otber condition which can
y the most riotous exercise of ingeu- I
ity be construed as a discrimlation
against the negro. Careilly
analyzing the statutes bearing
pon this question, it goes on to say:
"If there is anything that does qualy
a negro to vole in the state of Geor- <
ia, that thing should be the posseson
of taxable property, for in Geora
suffrage is based on a clean tax resipt.
Georgia is one of ttye Southern
tates tbat have never aoridged the
egroe's privilege of suffrage by makig
literacy the basis of eligibility. If
le negroe pays his*poll tax, just as a
bite voter must pay his poll tax, he
in vote in Georgia, and many of
lem do pay their poll tax and vote.
; is a fair presumption that the Geora
negroes who pay taxes on $18,700,
10 of taxable nronertv do vote, for
iat class of negroe is able and apt to
jep up his poll tax. The grossly igoraut
and iudigeut negro is not like
to keep up his poll tax, and his sufage
is by no means desirable."
It seems to us that tiie Philadelphia
res9 sufficiently refuted its own aclsation
in the first place. If the
eorgia negroes have accumulated $30,
I0,U00 of taxable property, and have
?en permitted to "swear it in" at $18,
)0.000, clearly they are treated ex;tly
as the whites are, and cannot see
p the smallest complaint of injusce
or oppression. The mere fact
iat they have been able to make all
lis money shows that they receive
fery possible encouragement and
rotection at the hands of their white
How citizens. The further fact that
ley are assessed on the same reduced
iiuuuuu is auswei cuuugu ,iu an nuunsical
gabble about discrimination.
>?r the re.*?t?the *>tory of disfranchiseeut?why
should any Southern
iwspaper concern stself with the silly
>r fal-e) accusations of the Philadeliia
Press? Surely, our esteemed
?ntemporaries bevotid the. Potomac
ivfc mut:er& el rtal conscqueuce with
hich to occupy their time.
