In oar churches last Sunday morning it may have been thai long winded prayer* Bailed high up In the air, without special appeal wauvuiiwcu ouj |mui m?v ner's feeble effort to do the right. It may be that do petition went' up to the Throne of Grace, asking for tbat wisdom and tbat guidance which Is necessary to restrain the heart and to Keep the mind from sinning. It may be that the Good Lord and Fattier of us all, was uot petitioned to Inspire the blacks with the will aud the manhood to restrain their passions and to control their aotlona lu such a way as to matte tbelr conduct conform the usages of good society while recognizing or obeying the divine law. It may be tbat the Giver of every good ana perfect gift was not, asked to 60 control the passions of the whites that they might not offend either the human or the divine law In the existing race prejudice. It may be tbat the Groat Head of the ^ Church was not petitioned to send peace ol mind and seourlty of person to all those who may be In any way distressed in mind or body. It may be tbat the visiting brethren, or even wayward sons, were not speoifloallj welcomed Into the Banctuary which had been erected aDd dedicated to the worship of Him s who first loved us, aDd made all of us belrt to an inheritance in value beyond price lu gold. It may be that no poor, weak, struggling heart, received encouragement to greater effort or greater strength In striving lor tht mastery over the sins or the weaknesseswblch so often overcome the besltfforls. But it would be safe to quggest that the rightous were tbankful for everything thai could be enumerated, with the assurance 01 Intimation on their part tbat all the otbei good things which might remain on the bargain counter would be accepted by us I with thanks,?without desiring or offering to yield any sort of acceptable service. And as usual, it may have been tbat the re quests were all of the Lord, witb sever an Intimation tbat we would pray tot ' purer hearts and cleaner bands, or that wr desire to become more profitable servants ol Him frcm whom procetdeth every blessing. . Is This Time of Peace or War? Crime seems to be abroad In the laDd. aDd the dally papeis are filled with the slcktenlng details. Murder and lynching do longtr seem to sbock the public conscience. A larg? part ol the distressed condition of the ooudtry la due to race prejudice, and that prejudice Is too often appealed to by speakers and newspapers. . In this State, we sometimes see Governor ' Hey ward's name mentioned In eflorts to restrain Infuriated mobs. It occurs to us if tbt Governor, lDstead of trying to suppress tb< natural instinct of gentlemen in punishing assaulters of women, would issue an address to the criminal cIssb that be might do some good. Thin npwsr>nn?r. without haloe able to prove specifically tbe fact, believes that tbe Governor and those newspapers which protest so much against lyncblngs, are mlsun deretood by negroes. W?? think that negroes believe that tbe Governor and tbe newspapers, are trying to Bbteld tbem fr m tbe penalty of their crimes. And their conduct / , In desiring a trial In court seems In the mind , of negroes to minify tbe enormity of tbe crime of assault. Of course neither the Governor nor any newspaper Intends to make any such false Impression, but we think tbe negro should be lmpiessed as much with the enormity of bis orlins arbe is with that of tbe mob wblcb seeks vengeance. There Is no need for all this violence, aDd no ltlend of either race should stir up strife Tbe races have lived together profitably and peaceably for a long time and tbere Is no good reason why tbe advantageous relations should Dot continue to exist. We need tbe negroes and they need us. We have bad enougb of disturbance. We bave enougb of animosity and distrust. We j&V. want peace. And let us sll rest awhile. Let negroes do nothing to excite 111 feeling, and let white men do nothing to lnjuri tbem. We do not know if tbe pulpits of eltbe race bave done anything to bring about tbe mucb desired peace and barmony between J 1UO 4 VXOi Whiskey id Atlanta. Some mighty good people In Atlanta are proposing to close the barrooms in that city. The aame kind of mighty good people Id South Carolina during the last campaign Joined with the lloense people In the effort to opeD bars aa against the dispensary. The people of Atlanta will never have prohibition. Bat the people of Soath Carolina may have license. if, now, the real friends of temperanoe desire to promote temperance and rednoe the evil of intemperance, let them send for the dispensary law of South Carolina. From the standpoint of a temperance advoV . cate and a total abstainer from the use of all Intoxicants, the dispensary law, as South 1 Carolina has It, will come nearer giving satisfaction than any other law. Und~r it we ' have absolute prohibition from sunset to sun> rise, every day in the week. On Sunday* the c uio|^udoij ucvci upeueu, i^uimng less than half pint Is sold, and do drinking la al- ( < lowed on the premises. t X'. Surgical Operation. I Mr. Martin of Donalds bad on tils face a cancerous gore, which physlcians.call Iupub ( ?. Dr. Hill of Abbevlle cut It: out and the belief t now la that Mr. Martin will soon be well. Dr. Hill baa aucb a lot of surgical instruments f and such a great quanlty of eye glasses a* 1 would fit every de:nand we suggested that be advertise lb em. He brought out old "ethics" * as a barrier to such a course. He says that advertising Is contrary to the ethics of the medical profession. When we bear that ex- g presalon aa a reason for keeping a good thing secret from suffering humanity the suspicion comes to our mind that the members of a profession which would prevent a physician c from advertising good eye glasses may know I less 01 pnysic man or ethics. Bat Dr. Hill's t j eye-glasses need no advertising. The only advertising that is necessary 1b to let tbe people know that be bas tbem to lit every eye, and be bas tbe skill and tbe will to act < Id tbe best Interest of those wbo need bi? k services. We can very well understand bow ? a man would want to stand well wltb bit. fellows but we cant well uudeastand wbo ' told blB fellows not to let tbelr fellows adver 1 Use a good thing. Some mighty sensible peo- ^ Die advertise, but it seems that ' ethirV irouna a physician from advertising eye-glasses at>d ( wbeel-barrowv.

K Irby's Winning;#. ! m Asa little girl Miss Eva Klrby of this city' f fon the friendship and esteem of her teacher Ir. B. F. Baliey.

At Jonverse her ability and Industrious ippllcatlon to studies, together with the sweetness of her naiure, so Impressed Dr. Wilson that she was awarded free tuition In that excellent institution for four succeeding years. Standing high in all her classes, she graduated with distinction In music. After spending a Utile time at her home with her parents In Abbeville good people in Spartanburg, who knew her best and appreciated her merits, asked her to become thdlr organist at church. She filled the position most acceptably, and during spare time in the week she taught classes In piano music, a which her earnings were good. In her prosperity, her generosity of heart and her nobleness of character turned to the home from which she sprang. Beside doing a good part for her pareuts the Bent a young brother ana a young ulster to college. ? And now for be;self sbe baa won Ibe best of all prlzet?the love and dove- a lion of a njOHt excellent young man p who has Just Installed her as tbe bride of his ^ heat l and ibe queen of bis borne. In noticing :he happy event which occurred October (J, 1900, tbe Spailanburg Journal C say*; ^ "Charles C. Klrby, a well known and popular young banker 01 this city and Miss Eva Klrby, 01 Abbeville, were married Saturday morning at lOo'clock at the residence of the orlde's parents in that oily. A telegram an nounclng the marriage of this popular young r couple was received Saturday aiternoon by j relatives of Mr. Klrby. A Tbe marriage came as a surprise to tbe relatives and friends of both, for It was not known that they were engaged. Tbe bride is well known in Spartanburg having resided here for several winters.

After reading the following we think yon will agree with us that the death of Geo'ge Washington was not a mystery. The Utlca Observer says: "Clement K. Shorter, an English writer of more or less distinction, surprised everybody last week by printing In a London newspaper an article In which he ssserted there wa* a mvsiery snrrouudlng the death ofGen George Washington shout which Americans heelts'ed to talk. If there be a mystery we 6hoald like to know what It is. "George Washington caught, cold when riding over his plantation at Monnt Vernon on the afternoon of Dec. 12, 1799. Forty-eight hours later be died. "He wss attended by tbreeof the best pbyslolnnsofibit part of the country. He was Me.J no less "than three times to relieve a sore throat, and he was dosed with calomel enough to deprive a beallhv man of bis life. But what is ihe m.Tsten? ? EnMghtened physicians frequently assert 'bat Gen. Washington was killed, tha't be whs b'ed to death and p"i?'one<1 with calomel Tohlss Lear, his secretary, says that after the doctor bad bled to tbe extent of half a p'nt Washington int<rrnpf'd with tbe remark, "The gash Is not ble enough; make It. wider." And the blely trfll"?-fl professional idiot proceeded to do so. hor? yonr throat feel any better?' asked tbe le?rned leecb. 'It'a very sore.' mnrmnred Washington. When tbe second physician arrived Mrs. Washington tried to stay hi? murderous hand hy protesting that *lbeGen<r?l was too old a man to stand much b'eedin^r 'Ye?, yes,' said the mighty doctor NumberTwo. 'I'll beoautloas ' ? kl,.n.l lot (In ? "And then he nroce?ded straight to rob ht?conntry'H Father of a full pint of llfe'a most precious fluid. When 'be ibird physician bad come he rolled his eyes solemnly and said: 'I will bleed him.' 'We both t^d that,' said the o-ber doctors. 'Yea. I know,' anrtnuryed theconsulting sag**, 'but If blood-leitlng cW>es not. relieve him I must Increase the dnse of calomel.' After tbe third blood-letting? 'n which we are not surprised to learn that WashinK'on's arm yielded Ita life-fluid morealowly than It bad before?the sore throat continued, In eplte of tbe last consulting doctor, and when hl? wearied body failed to respond to a heroic overdose of calomel the two consulting physicians retired and left Washington to die.

"Tbere Is no crime known tn law equal la turpitude to rape." declared Judge Jobn T. Pendleton, of Fulton oounty, Id bis charge to IUC (l?uu JUIJ Wl> UJUIUIUf. JJUIUCL MUU treuaoD are not balf bo demoralizing as this orlme, and It is yoar duty to bring every energy to bear to nunlsh tbe gallty and protect tbe lnnooent." Tbe occasion of Jugde Pendleton's second charge to tbegrand Jury was the startling Dumber of ssnaults and attempted assaults on white women by negroes during the past few weeks and the tragi* culmination lo bloody rl"t last Saturday night. Judge Pendleton's charge In part was as follows: . ^ S "Two sad pictures have been witnessed in this city durlDK the past few days. One la a picture of white women engaged In the performance of th-lr dome-tlo duties, surrounded by tbelr families and llvlne in peace and happiness, attacked and assaulted and wellnit;h beaten to death by black brutes attempting to satisfy tbelr luat. That Is a aad picture. 40 "The other is a companion picture. A great city, great in wetltb and great In courage. great In everything that goes to make op a great oily, witnesses a lawless mob In tta streets, seeking and murdering innocent peo* pie. That dlso is a sad picture. "It is your duty now to investigate these disorders. It has been charged that many assaults with Intent to rape have been made. There Is no orlme known to law equal Id turpitude to rape. Murder and treason are not half so demoralizing and It is your duty to punish tne guilty and proteot the lnnooent. Qnlch PanlHhtnent "Punishment serves two purpose;?to make tbe guilty suffer, and to proteot the innocent by preventing a repetition of orlme. "This olty last Saturday night waa the scene of a reckless and lawless mob that dlagraces tbe whole community. It, disgraces you, It disgraces tbe oourt, and whosoever duty It was to enforce tbe law la dlsgraoed before tbe civllzed world. "A mob in lis fiast analysis Is anarchy, it la always anaroby. It has been said that under certain conditions mob law is Justifiable. It Is never Justifiable under any conditions lor It Is never founded upon oorract principle* and seldom upon correct sentiment. Tbat bob bad no more regard for tbe virtue and MPniAAilnn r\f tahltA inAman (Hon Wnn hoH Ct\l\ you were not in it. 1 refuse to believe tbal tbe good people of thin olty have been remlM In tbelr duty, bave been <1erollct In homing down and punishing tbe criminal and that a mob bad to discbarge tbat duty for tbem. "Assaults are tbe oocaalon and not tbe cause of mobs. Mobs do not act from a noble sentiment to protect, but from a desire to destroy and wreak vengence on wbom tbey please, City on Trial. "This city Is on trial before tbe world, and your safety and the safely of this city depends udod tbe result.'It Is your duty to proclaim tbat such a scene will never again be witnessed Hcd thai tbe guilty shall be punished.

Do not besatUfled with the examination of one or a half-dozen witness that some officer may bring Ip unless you are thoroughly convinced of tbe course you should take.
