Uoud Editor.
Among the distinguished gentlemen who
were in attendance upon the District Conference
last week wan Editor W. H. Wallace, of
the Newberry Observer. He Is not only an j
active chureb worker, but he Is one of the 1
ablest as well as one of the most lodustrlons
'i* editors In the State. He prints The Observer
twice a weak?eight pages each time?all e
home print. The local columns contain an f
account of everything that happens about
Newberry, and the editorials strike square m
out from tie shoulders on all questions that
attract bis uttentior.
He is a prohibitionist from prlncl, le, and
fights '.hedispensary with nil Ills might?He
opposes the dispensary because he Is opposed
t > the s?le of liquor, and we favor the dlspensarj
?not because li sell* liquor, but blouse
of ItK ret-trlCiive feature*. We have ^
prohibition for ha!f the time, and no blind
t'gerF.
L'quor, or the r.se of liquor, h?<s exercUed
the bomsn mind for ages, and It In fair o <
presume that It will worry us for u long time
yet to come.
The Prfss and Banner Is falling out vrlth
f* nobody on th?* question of liquor. For flftj
years this editor was a prohibitionist, and h*
cat) readily understand bow prohibitionist*
feel about the matter. Tbey are honest ana
conscientious all right, but they are a little
ofl on Judgment. S
Bat we have digressed. Editor Wallaci
prints sixteen pages every week, while we
print only four. lie works more on each one
of his sixteen pages than we work on each
one of our four pages. If the work on the
naooa nr?in the same on the two papers then
be works four times us much hf this editor.
Tbe Newberry Observer, tbe Anderson Intelligence.

Editor Wallace s?*ys tbat bis cash-In- id?

Is tblR Persecution?
Some tl n?e ago one of the dispensers Id Co\
lumbia waa foond to be 91,500 sbort In bis accounts.
Tbe books were afterward straightened
and Ibe shortage was paid.
Now comes the statement tbai tbe mar
wbo was sbort In his acoounts, but which ba? (
been settled In full, Is to be prosecuted. '
Tbe strange part of'.bis proceeding Is, thB
some of tbe newppari approve tbe unprecedented
oourse.
This newspaper regards tbe prosecution of
Ibe defendant In tbls case as nothing sbort oi
malicious persecution.
When a man baa made restitution, and tbe
money has been accented, tbat sbonld settle
tbe matter between bsnorable men.
Can a Jury be found to lend themselves to
the approval of such a scheme as that now
proposed In Colnmbla? We hope not.
Tbe State, or tbe county, or anybody e re.
having Accepted tbe shortage rrom tDe deiirqaent
Is Id honor bound, If oot In law.
not to pursue maliciously on r technicality
by wbtcb a man mar be punished alter bavins
made restitution.
The prosecution of Wolfe, alter he has settled
bis debt, seem* to or to be malicious peraecutlon,
pure aDd simple, and this newFpaper
does not helleve tba? there Is a Judg*
br a Jury which would punlsb In tbls case.
vt
Mis* Xance Got ft lo Columbia.
Miss Mary T. Nance, one of tbe bandsomeat
young ladles in town, and one of the besi .
teachers In tbe graded school, has been slcfe u
of throat trouble for tbe last week or two.
She la better now, but we are not Informed lj
abe will return to the Fohool daring tbe re _
malnder of tbe session. Mrs. Butler la teaoblng
ber classes In ber absence. Because o'
her ability and her energy. State Superintendent
of Education Martin bsBoflered bei
a better place In bis r mce tban we can glv?
ber in Abbeville, and she will not be wllb onext
session.
Miss Nance Is worthy of the best man 1r
the 8tate, and l( tbe b?nt man in theStMti
does not win ber In marriage, then be. llbe
Abbevll'e, ban lost much. If there 1? a boitei
teacber, or * roor? aUrac'lve woman In tb<
State than MUs Nance we are n?t Informer'
of tbe fact. But one mar d'ffTeth from arotber
star In glory, and tb?re Is no telllnp
when the little arober may send an arrow
through anv bachelor's heart?and then n< A
man can tell If tbe lady will pull It out, or M
Ju?t let it st?v tb*re. ^
For tafclng Mts? Nance from Abbeville, we
have a grudge at Mr. Martin.
r "Ian Msflnron" Dead.
Dr. John Watson (Ian Maolaren) died a<
11:15 a. ro., May Otb, from blood poison In?.
Dr. Watson was born at Mornlngtree.
Essex. England, Nov 3,1*50, and was ordained
a minister In 1S75. He was Author ol
"Beside tbe Bonnie Briar Bush," "The Day>
of Auld Lang Syne," "A Doctor ot the 0 d
School" and other work?, over the nom de
plume of Ian Maclaren, the first mentioned ?
being perhaps big most noted production.
Among his works signed John Watson
were "The Mind of tbe Master," "Tbe Cun
of Sonls," "Tbe Potters Wheel" "Companions
ol tbe Sorrowlul Way," "Tbe Life of tbi ^
Master," "Doctrines ol Grace" and others.
To those who know sometblog of Scotch '
life,even as rt fleeted in American settle C
ments, his writings are peculiarly attractive,
wblle to any reader tbey contain a sweetnes>
and freshness tba^ makes tnem most at"j*
tractive.

DiMtlngnlnbed Guests.
Abbeville bad within Its borders lest week
many distinguished visitors. For Instance:

guests of honor. A? evidence of C?pt. J. L. m
Perrln'a Interest In them, be distributed
among "'tbe boys" cberk* from {20 up to $96

la, one more name bas been dropped from t

Having Company.
The letter read: "My dearest Hue,
Next Thursday I will spend with you.
1 won't enjoy my visit, though, (
If any trouble 1 beatow."
"Ob, I'm so glad," cried Mrs. Whlte^
"For company is such delightl"
But looking round her In dismay,
"I must get ready right away."
Armed with a dustpan and a broom,
Bhe went to work in every room.
6he oiled and pdlished, cleaned and rubbed
And mended, scoured, washed and scrub
bed.
Then in the kitchen ehe began,
While perspiration down her ran,
At {ties and puddings, cakes and bread,
Aa if an army must be fed.
Bhe tolled and fretted, cooked and baked.
Bhe hurried, worried, stewed and ached.
When Thursday came* she, nearly dead, 1
Just managed to oratol out of bed. '
And Mrs. Company came too.
They kissed and hugged like women dot
And thjen began tired Mrs. White
To make exousee, never right:
MOh, dear, my bouse (then waxes clean)
Is most too dirty to be seen,
Bo shut yotar eyesl You're looking stout.
' Take off your thing a I'm just worn oat
"You must excuse my cooking too.
It isn't fit to offer you.
('Twas fit for kings.) Too bad you cooN
just when I'm upside down at home I"
And thus she welcomed and distressed
And spoiled the visit of her guest,
Who wished she hadn't come to be ,
A tired woman's "company." ' ,

We talked of life and death. She said,
"Whichever of us two first dies

And teach his friend these mysteries"

2 looked up from mv tears erewh.il?.
That white rose dying in the cap
Was gazing at me with her smile.
It blushed her blush as I looked ap>
It paled then with an agony
Of effort to express me aught
That would, 1 think, bring peace to IM
Could I but guess, and I cannot.
And when the wind rose at my door
It clamored with a plaintive din.
Like some poor creature begging sore
To be let to. I let it la.
It blew my light out. Round my head
It whirled and swiftly in my ear
Had whispered something ere it fled.
It had her voice, soJow, so dear.
The looking glass this livelong day
Bjib worn thut curious, meaning air.
I feel it when I look away
Reflecting things that are not there.
For hours no breath of wind has stirred.
Yet bends thy lamp's flame as if fanned
The clock savs o'er and o'er a word.
But I?O Godl?can't understand.
