Rockefeller, the great oil king, baa b? giving gifts to various religious purposi On* super oonsolentlous Cbristlan, or brazi Idiot, as tbe case may be, has urged the no acceptance of S100.000 for foreign mlssloi claiming tbat Rockefeller's methods of gal iDg money wer? not as orthodox as tbey mlg be. On the same principle, tbe State should n oollect taxes from men who make the money In ways whlcb are doubtful or co trary to omr convictions of Integrity. T1 Prees and,Banner knows nothing at all of tl honesty of either Rockefeller or those wl may seek notority at his expense, hut i would venture to suggest that Rockefell is about as honest as his Ignorant traduce] If inch men as Rockefeller and Cameg were not honest they never could have t quired the great fortunes which they posset Without the highest Integrity they could n accumulate fortunes. "An honest mar the noblest work, of God," ana It may I pretty safely assumed that a man with fortune is an honest man. Without the co fldenceofhls fellows few men can becoc rich. When a man's neighbors are con vlnci that he M tricky and unreliable his cbanc to become rich are very much circumscribe In the range of this editor's acqualntanc we do not now think of any man who h acquired wealth whose reputation for lnte rlty 1b not well established. The great demand of the time is for hone men?honest.young men. Competent youi men who are honest and trust worthy, fli the road to fortune as plain as the road mill. They can make tbe money. The hoi log of It?or tbe fellure to hold It is the gre trouble. Bat, without knowing anything of the at oossful man In any pursuit, you may set down as a fact, that In ninety-nine cast* o ofa hundred the suaoessful man la honest ai trustworthy. Tbe dishonest man, by tricks, may make few abort outs to fortune, bat when hlB faa becomes known tbe faces of the people a against him. They are afraid of him and t opportunities for making money are few ai far between. . . On the Right Platform. We see It stated in the newspapers that M M.F. Ansel, oandldale for Governor, Is n fighting the dispensary, but Is In favor Iruiol Antlnn thot la a?r? tt V> a hollABfle th ?WW4 W|/ViVU~ VUK? id W /( "W MW**W?WO each oomm unity should decide for its* Whether It wants the dispensary. We a heartily in favor of each community exerc! Ing Its pleasure In the matter. The Keowi Courier and the Newberry Observer hai already expressed our opinion on this su Ject better than, we could express It. W agree with the views as reported of Mr. Ai el and beg leave to obange our vote as stood before we spoke two weeks ago. Bat, ia Abbeville, we know of no one hei who is dissatisfied with the dispensary, ( who wishes to have prohibition, or llcensi Abbeville's experience with problbltio leavee no donbt on oar mind as to what best for us. We see here very little evidence of drlnl log, bat from the large sales of liquor torn* body most be drinking it. It Is therefore It doty of oar church people, and parents i every station to teach the young men an boys to refrain from drinking. Tbey sbou! not ooetract the drink habit. Tt la mn than folly to abase tbe dispensary wbl nothing la being done to restrain our peop from drink. fjy' f _ Excess of Tngs. ftl .'v'. ' Dlflerent buyers of fertilizer tell uc tbi some ofthelr sacks of fertilizer have as man \ as Ave tags to tbe sack, and one man said, 1 addition to tbeee extra togs on tbe sacl that a great number of loose tags were fouc on tbe floor ol tbe car In which fertilizer wi shipped. He thought as many as Ally sac tags were in one oar. We are not giving tei limouy ourself, but we respect what reput ble persons have told as. And they said tbi we ougbt to seek for an explaoatlon. these tags are sent out to deceive the pub! as to tbe amount of fertilizer bsiDg sold, the the people.are entitled to know tbe fact, < else satisfactory explanation sbould be mad about a matter which excites suspicion as t unfair play. In many places water power will be utl ze d for generating electricity. Electrlolty cheaper than coal, and the profit In electrlolt generated by water Is sore and great.
