While this paper supports the dispensary, It is In the belief that even with isolated oases of corruption and fraud, It Is better than wholesale fraud, such as must come from prohibition, secured largely by the votes of the liquor element, or high license, which will open again the gilded barroom with its gambling and treating. Tbe temperance people of tbe Slate ar^not ready to surrender the material advantage gained in the interest of sobriety, such as tbe abolition of tbe all-night bar and its attendant vices, nor are they willing to turn over to a deesolute and debauching class, funds that r '. now revert to the whole people for the common good. Bat to defend an institution Is one thing and to defend dlsfconest officials In tbat Institution Is quite another thing. No business can claim Immunity from the employment of dishonest officials; and It | r would be a wonder If the dispensary is an exception to the rule. Let the fraud be unearthed and the offender punished. This is the acoepted method, where an official of a county, bank, railroad or other corporation or institution is found short in his aoooanu, and In no Instance Is a good lnstl tutlon destroyed because of exceptional irrsgnlaaUles by officials. The legislative committee who have bad the Investigation of the dispensary in hand, * deserve the grateful thanks of all true temperanoe people for the faithful and fearless n?umer In which they have taken bold of the matter. Tbe brlk of the work up to this time has been done by a sub oommlttee, of which oar fellow townsman, Hon. J. Eraser Lyon, la a member. Whllfl he Is an unswerving friend to tbe dispensary in the truest sense, he Is tbe vital enemy of corruption in Us management. Whatever irregularities or frauds may be unearthed will be largely the result of bis untiring energy and absolute fearles8ne?8 in the discharge of dnty. The dispensary has no truer friend and fraud no heartier or more competent prosecutor tban J. Fraser Lyon. It Is idle lor those who affiliate with tbe bar-room element for tbe purpose of destroying tbe dispensary to claim blgber Incentives or purer motives tban tfte temperance people of ibis country In an effort to rid tbe country of any lraud or corruption tbat may exist. Only Two. So far as we know, only two annlversar: orators bave been Invited to speak twice at Due West Commencement. In tbe fifties Jobn M. Bright, of Tennessee, made a commencement speech, whlob, because of its eloquence, excited enthusiasm and was tbe talk ol all. A quarter of a century later be was recalled and a great multitude assembled to bear blm. But on tbe occasion of tbe second speech, the orator bad gone lar down tbe western slope. His fire and bis eloquence bad departed and tbe old man failed to electrliy tbe audience as he did on the first occasion. About twenty-five years ago tLie H.od. W. C. Benet made a commencement speech 4 Em fclne. On that occasion, Judge Benet, like Mr. Bright on his first address, was well v equipped with a wealth ol thought, a great land of lnlormation, and a rare command of language. He, like Bright In the fifties, held his audience spell-bound. Last week Mr. Benet, like Mr. Bright, was recalled, encored bo to speak, but, unlike Mr. Bright, be had lost nothing of bis eloquence. He was still fall of power, and bis charming manner of oratory delighted all, even more than on blB first appearance. He was last week more than his former self, and bis genial personality was, If possible, more delightful tban It waB a quarter of a century ago. Next day, after delivering bis speech at Due "WeBt, be came to Abbeville and spent a few hodrB belore taking the train for Columbia. If the Due West folk knew bow pleanantly be Bpoke of tbe college, the people, aoa the town generally, tbey would be even more pleased with blm tban tbey were with bis commencement speech. Abbeville honors Judge Benet. He has mnntr Kava tt- r\ mnn I H IAOO I A GAA ujaujr iiieuui ucio nuuiu i~ ? ?.?.? b lm return to bis old borne. He lived In tbe higher and purer atmosphere. His genial and kindly nature bad ibe effect of helping tbers to blgber thoughts aod better things. Coming Ron ml AH Right. Tbe PreES and Banner Is delighted to know tbat tbe mind of the News and Courier is coming round all right. An bouest confession, It Is said, is good for tbe soul. Tbe News and Courier one day last week oonfessed-fts waywardness In generally disagreeing wltb tbe opinions expressed by this pewspaper But last week tbat paper was In a much better mood and Its mind seemed to be much clear er than usual. Agreeing wltb us In thiDklng tbat the croaker Is a more effective public ?uemy than tbe vagrant tbat most excellent newspaper Is aa clearly in tbe right on croakers ae it was on the Ogden question. There are at least two questions upon which the News aDd Courier baB lately evinced a clear mentality. If ihnt n?n?r frenna nn Imnrnvlnir It will ROOD become as correct a newspaper as tbe Press and Banner, and we know tbat our always able, but sometimes errlDg brother, will appreciate a blgb compliment. Abbeville bas grown apace, but tbe old town still has a few croakers left. We have progressed In spite of them. Our town, Ukej Charleston, bas been sorely afflicted with croakers, who have been re-lnforced by that noble army of wise men who "told youi so." . The article of the News and Courier od croakers Is so good, and its oomment is so pleasant tbat we reprint it. In order to help Abbeville people to gather up courage to make croakers leave town or become good and respectable citizens by lending a helping band In some of the patriotic eflorts to build up the town. Abbeville needs more industrial enterprises that will give people an opportunity to work at Rome Drofitable emDlovment. W. H. Bradley Promoted.

It is stated powerful influences are trying to oust the American-Chinese Company from its Chinese concessions. Commencement. Last week was Commencement week at Due West. It is the great ocra-lou of the year In that city of letters, and great numbers of people are always present to do honor to the people and to the splendid colleges which that people have built. Eraklne College paved the way for denominational Colleges in this state. Although the Associate Reformed Presbyterians wore weakest in point of numbers, yet they led all | me rem in lue nouitr cnuu iu cuuumu mo o^ur. . ofthechuroh. Ersklne Is tbe fouutaln bead of Presbyteriauism In the South. Nearly all the preachers In that Church were educated at Due West. And It Is true that Ersklne has sent out many noble sons for service in other denominations. The blessings of this Institution extend to every part of this couc- " try, and its influence in the world of letters is everywhere felt. I The Due West Female College was organized more than thirty years ago, and from its walls have been sent out some of the best women that the world has ever seen. Without exception their education, their talent, and their loveable personality has exerted an influence lor good among men and their labor has been for the g ory of the world to come. This editor when a child of twelve years, left the parental roof with the prayers an J tbe blessings of a pious motber, tbat be mlgbt learn the printer's trade in the Ersklne Miscellany office?now the Associate Reformed Presbyterian office. Dr. J. I. Bonner, and Dr. J. O. Lindsay were then the editors. 11. D. Wray, H. L. Holland William Siansell, Pink Starnes, John T. Darlington, Coleman C. Puckett, H. Manly Darlington, Frank Gerk, ana others were were printers In the office at different times while we were an apprentice. Dr. Llnd^y sold bis interest in the oaner at tbe close of 1851, and Dr. Bonner was sole owner uulll be died. From childbood to old age we have loved Due WeBtas we have loved no other city. Although all the men who were in the fore- . front in 1S61, with the exception of Prof. J. F. Lee and J. Marlon Bell, have gone to their reward, yet, to ub it is Due West still, and we love the name of the town and revere the , memory of the past. The printing office in Due West has always had a warm place in our heart. Its association in our heart has < 'been homelike. But for some reason unknown to us, that paper has time and again given us more and deeper wounds than any other. We may have deserved it all, and may have reason to be tbankful that our treatment has not been more severe. It may be that In forty years of fidelity and continuous effort that we have done nothing to commend us to favor in the sight of the old office, where we were once treated so well. It so, more's the pity. In 1859, Dr. J. I. Bonner was the first endorser to our note for the purchase of this office. Dr. E. E. Pressiy, whom we thought, and still have no reason to doubt, was one o' m the beat men on earth, \v*s one of the sure ties. Col.D. 0 Hawthorn and John Mathls, with the father of this scribe made up the note. " But we digress. The personal Joy and the heartaches of any of us areas nothing when oompared to the great festival of letters that annually takes place at Due West. The files of the Press and Banner for twenty-flve cod secutlve yearB best atteBt the value and importance of these occasions as well as our affection for the colleges and people. If the columns of tbe Press and Banner do not duw have as much In them about commencement as Id lormer dayp, tbQ fact may be accounted for Id tbat other fact thai we are older now, and tbe Journey is more fatiguing than it was 1q former years. We were younger then. WEST END. June 13,1905. Miss Elizabeth Forrester who has been visiting Miss inline Long has returned to her home In Washington, Qa. ' Mr. and Mrs. C. D.
