Whirlwind ElectionWe see In the newspapers that In one o the counties It Is ^loposed to have nex August something like a "whirlwind elec tion" on the subject ol the dispensary. As i rule, there is npt much good In whirlwinds but this Instance may prove an exception. The evil of liquor drinking could not bi exaggerated, and we presume tbat there ii not in South Carolina a Blngle lndlvidua who would approve of the excessive use o Intoxicants. But the subject ol the use or th< munse of iiaaor 1b now only remotely oon / ' ' oerned In the coming election. Tbe proper thing to'do is to consldei whether the lawful or tbe unlawful sale li beet. t'r' Tbe demand for Intoxicants In some form and to dome extent, Id common, and then are *ery few persons, when they want It, wbt will not buy it legally or illegally. When we consider tbe fact that of a lack o any provision for enforcing the law, anc when we know that prohibitionists, llki other people, when they want Intoxicants v will buy It from whatever source, we fall t< see tbe practicability or tbe honesty of thi proposed prohibition. When gamblers, or other men and women are caugbt In unlawful acts, all the parties ti the crime are held accountable and are pun lBhed. But bow Is It when liquor Is sold illegally t If there are no buyers, there can be no sellers If there can be no seller without a buyer, am ' If It takes a buyer to enable a seller to com mi t a crjme, why is It that one party to tb offense must pay a One or go to tbe obalc gang while the other goes fret? Could lb / most ariant. hypocrite on earth excuse on party to the crime while punching th othei? j x Does a man deserve the reBpect of tbe Ion est or the dirtiest negro in all tblB land wb< would turn State's evidence, and testlf; ,' * against tbe man whom he had induced n sell blm llquoi? Does not the sense of an honest Leglslato revolt at the lawful exception in favor of th ,Bneaking buyer of contraband llquoi? Ji what conscience can a Judge sentence th sell er of liquor when be leu tbe blind tiger' partner in crime go free of aentenct? Without a buyer no man csn Bell. If It) unlawful to sell, then Id the name of all tba 1b fair, honest and .of good r< port, it sbouh i be unlawful to buy. A sneaking hypocrite may by false pre tense induce a neighbor to sell him a pinto liquor. That seme sneak may go off and re port tbe man who sold blm tbe llquoi knowing that be, tbe informer, la equally guilty and will go unpunished. If the proposed prohibition law 1b honest why did it not provide punishment for a' violators of the law* . / Thefe may be a whirlwind in Abbevllli county which would make one nart of ou ^ cillzfDB fpies audi Informers egalDst other B , so mere gulily then ihcmFelvtr, bet we di W Dot beiteve It. Do yoo believe that It Is en honorable lav L that makes cue parly to an act a criminal W while tbe otber is considered guiltless and 1 f not pnnlsbed? Isn't the man wbo buys Uqaor Illegally ai bad as the man who sells It illegal!}? If by connivance or oo-operatlon witt another-ong man Is a law-breaker, Is tb< other Innocent? No; tbe Legislature made no provision foi enforcing tbe law. IV levied no taxes and appointed no officer to enforce it. It provided no pnnlsbunent for the man who may indoce another to violate tbe law. t ' 1 Church Bells. Last Sunday morning the atmosphere wat clear and the sun sbined in all its splendor Thecbjircb belle of tbe city seemed to call loader and more earnestly than usual for the assembling of worshippers. Our countlDg machines not belne In order we are unable to report tbe number of tbosf wbo assembled In tba holy temples to confest their manlfo d Bins and wickednesses. We do not know bow maDy sought tbe Father oi us all to forgive and to bless bis children. Id a city wblcb Is dlstlDguU lied for Its Bgj&ab^^eiegant churches, and which Is known far 2SgBSfeLwlde tor 118 Christian citizenship, lt'ls ? ^MUHUKH^^^able fact that so few of oar people asMMEliHl^MIBI^to give humble and hearty tbnnks to the Olver of every good and perfect glff. The great number of abseenteea from service, It seems, would furnl6b food for tte thought and tbe prayerful consideration oi all those brethren wbo are religiously ano devoutly Inclined. If tbe people go to service, there Is a reason lor lbelr going. On tbe same line of reasonlug, If tbe people remain away from service there must be a cause for tbe delinquency. There 1b no effect without a cause. What If tbe cause or tbe cause*? The reader can no doubt assign bis own reason for bis act In staging away. The good church woman may or may not be able to tell bow much she Is responsible These of tbo brethren who alt high up In tbe sanctuary may or may not be able to discern whether they are .In aDy way responsible. They may or may Dot be able to tell If the} have given offense to tbe least of these. The church ftself, or thoae woo speak foi it, may nave been more or lees arbitrary and inconsiderate of tbe feelings of their breth ren. And then the absenting brethren ma; not have bad a proper regard for their owe interest*. Tbe welfare of their own soalf may have been unnecessarily neglected. Tbf preachei may take a text from a sen tence in Scrlptorein wbicb there is nothing except that which he puts into It, and he may be able to put very little into it, bntll he offers a prayer in which the worshipper Is interested, or if tbe worshipper feels that be is prayed lor, be need care little about tbe _ sermon. I , ??^ Tbe music exalts tbe soul, tbe sermon ap ^ * peajs to the head, but tbe prayer should gc to tbeTretjt, and take the penitent to tbe foot of the Cr&M*-*. ^ The reading of the^ci^ptures and tba-j^ray ers are the main or the chief parts of the service, and these, more than anything else will brlDg real worshippers to the service. It is a self-evident proposition that s me thing is wrong when only some twenty oi twenty five percent of tbe citizenship attend worship. Are yon In any way responsible? Wide Streets. T ie Dally Mall is urging wider streets anc wider sidewalks for Anderson, Lung ago ibis editor tried to widen a street and a side walk. He moved his line back several feel and the thoroughfare was to that extent widened. Not long after tbe widening pre cess bad been completed a nelgbbor across tbe Street bad occasion to build a new fence He set it out, about six inches. He thought the Street was unnecessarily wide Missionary Nuisance.' Whenever there is trouble abroad it seemi that missionaries, wben not the excitinf cause, are generally in It, Some missionaries in Turkey have sufferec death. It looks as If the foreign mlislonarj business may oeoome menace to peace. 1 ,1A WKTr r^" > . New Cotton Mill , Did we bear you say that you bad glv( the New Cotton Mill a boost? If not, v bope to bear tbat you are ready to do yot - pari in advancing tbe Interests of the ton wblcb advanced interest of tbe town must r . eult In benefit or profit to all. ...bbevllle la now, without some furth< un ted effort, a finished town. Tbe growl : that resulted from tbe building of tbe ral road sbops and tbe cotion mill bas be< * fully realized. We must niBke another move. This properly a cotion manuiactunng countr and no manulacturing enterprise is as ce ' tain of success, if properly managed.

Tbe only requliemeni is a lime coi 1 uiou sense In the conduct of the mill and & .mrefnl avoidance of speculation on Ibe pa of Its officers. Let the woik go on. We are able to bul algood mill, and we have tbe men who a able to manage It successfully. Another Lion BaggedIt la noised abroad tbat the Ex-Presldei bagged another lion May first. Not belt Interested In (be Sunday Schools of tbat se ilon he and Kermlt enlivened tbe Sabbath little by chuslng big game, it Is said thi Mr. Roosevelt's timely shot, at short rant saved one or two natives from teilous lijui or perhaps death by the llou. This raises a moral question tbat the Pre and Banner would propound. Sbould an ex-presldent, the Bound of whoi gun encircles tbe world, be sbootlog game c ihe Sabbatb morning? Is there still any o ligation on tbe man who has filled the plai of Chief Magistrate, to observe the custom Sabbath observance adbered toby the grei majority of the church going people ov whom be ruleq? Granting tbat be may I excused lor tbe mere aol In his own mind, ibis not setting an example tbat will lei seriously to break down tbe custom of Sal bath observance, tbat Is this keystone religious structure? Aside from the standpoint of thq mere r 11lot IHrnnoh on 4Vno*lon/?fi f\t thhlllOTll or years, the Sabbatb, or a day of rest, b . been found to be essential for tbe bealtbft I and vigorous cocdl^lcn of tbe human race. France, shortly -atter tbe Revolutlo ' something over a hundred years ago, trli ~ tbe no Ssbbatb plan, and found tbat ape: odloal reel day was necessary. She tb? fixed rest periods at sonfetbing like tv weeks apart, and this was unsatlsfaqtor Sbe finally went back to tbe observance ol p rest day, witb tbe old established interval r It is no argument tbat twc-tblrda of tbe pe< g pie of tbesc-called Christian nations do n 5 observe tbe Sabbatb. Tbe one-third wt respect tbe lnstitntlon, keep alive t(ie princ v pies upon which onr civilization la founder Japan is cited aa a nation preserving man f of ita heathen customs and Its tradition) religions, and yet ecllpAng tbe world In d 3 velopment. It would be bardly Just to rc the missionary of any part In Japan's deve , opment. Undoubtedly be has ha i bis tnfli , ence. But Japan, while stllljlargely beatbe or atheistic, has but adopted tbe results i . Christianity. This is what tbe non-bellev< |, lntbe Christian country does without kno* . Ing it. And;wltbout tbe continuous exampl of other nations as to J<?pan and without th continuous example and restraint of tbe Sat hath nhaarvor aa ts% tha Inrilvldnal thfi vhnl tread would be backward.

In our notice last week of difference 1 testimony as to the effects of prohibition w ' meant no sort of disrespect to oar good frlen ' of the Anderson Mail. We only meant t 1 show tbat any sort of testimony can be ha ' on the Bubject of prohibition. We accept testimony on tbe liquor que " tlon only as information. Except officii records, we count nothing of tbe testlmoD on either side. We had prohibition 1 ' Abbeville some fifteen or twenty years ag ' and there Is no doubt in our mind as to I 1 effect with us.

The penalty Is the samfefor^aat driving, and good men everywhere must recognize tbe Justice of the law. No man has tbe right to Imperil the limb or the life of his neighbor. ,t Yon all agree to this? , Well, now, please tell us why tbe LeglslaT jj iature does not take equal action or exercise e care for tbe lives of men, women and oblldren l_ who travel on a railroad trait?

X) An engineer or a conductor, may at any time take his train on tbe road to almost b certain destruction.

When there Is a collision, and a ,o passenger Is killed somebody has earned bis right to be punished. II a train Is run without ? orders out of time without orders from dho patcher,Wouldn't 11 be well to send somes' body to the penitentiary, even if nobody should be killed? I? It right and proper for railroad men, by their careleasnoss to kill off our slock of tramps, to say nothing o' n passenger? The life of even a tramp, who e may be stealing a ride, should not be need* d lessly sacrificed. .0 .? . mi, Public Spirited Physician.' f- Dr. C. C.
