r- .? * *" / ..inn' PROHIBITIONIST HOLD RALLY *?' a r Speaches by Dr J. S Moffatt and Rev ltJ< John L Harley. beI L>r. Wllkins as chairman of the county sar Prohlbitloulst called the mooting to older on tbc last Saturday at ] J o'clock. The meeting wa* wh opened with prayer by Kev. O Y. Honner. er. The chairman stated that the object of the set meeting was the organization of the temper- oni auce forces for Abbeville County. ha Judge Fetherstone who was expected to be Pa present was holding a special term of Court toi in Greenville and was thus preveuted from In being present on this occasion. Lh( The chairman tirst Introduced Dr. Moffatt, K president of Krsklne College. The speaker wa thought 11 strange why the prohibition forces pn had not long 6lnce been organized In Abbe- ap vlile County, as a strong seniiment has been 'J running through adjoining states for so long m< a time. Sentiment for prohibition has been for _ .i... in \nrth Carolina and Georgia ihi 1U HI O Uiaa !Ub mmm w. lor several years. He thought that this call ad and Issue should be presented to all the peo- br< pie of the county, that they should be thor- agi ougbly pjsted In order that they may con- dif alder the matter and so act Intelligently. He I'M stated that the papers bad not been in a i sympathy with the movement and that the tbi matter had not been agitated, that It was 1 time that It was laid betore the people. It Is bll Important that the laws should be luforced. As It Is Impossible to lnforce laws with which sai the people are not In sympathy, It Is necessary to create a sfcntlment among men, foi that wlllup hold all laws. Laws should be "A the expression of the sentiment of the people a" and no law will be a success aside from Bucb 11 a sentiment. th How to produce this sentiment. One way 110 r*.t Hrincincr about such sentiment 1b by JUI agitation. Agitation has placed other placesI ' on the dry list. It should be agitated through 18r: papers, In talks with men, and men should agitate It In their own hearts. th A plan of campaign consisting of arranged an picnics with dinner and Invited speakers was al discussed as a means of getting the matter tb before the people. The speaker eald the entire campaign *a' should be conducted with prudence, that at all times due deferance and grave respect th should be held for the opinion of others. ?r No unnecessary antagonism is wanted. OE The whole matter should be conducted with ev such prudence and wisdom as to win over tr; thoaeot opposite opinions as friends rather tb than to have them as enemies ?ie nan h presentiment that Abceville wih In vole out the dispensary. di The principal thing to be considered In dl this agnation m the manhood and woman hood of the county. A money consideration is not to be compared with this. The greatest sufferers lrom liquor, be says, are the women and children. He has been In homes where this guttering was much In evidence. A U| lamlly In which there were twelve children w was recalled. This lamlly sometimes made Ql as much as Sl'JO per month, yet, tbey sank deeper and deeper In deb'.. The money went pi lor whiskey. When there wns no money di tbey borrowed and spent the money borrowed In the same way. It was when he saw the Z< Borrows of womaahocd and children that be tl went Irrevocably to the side of prohibition, al f He spoke of a young man of 2i years whom he saw In delirium tremens, heaid the li screams of the Buflerer as be fought off de- rr mons, snakes, llzaard, such screams as he never heard before nor since. These thlDgs b< ?v set him against whiskey. ti If the evil continues your children will be bi oMittcKi hii Htatcd The bovs and girls ol tt the connty are the greatest and chief consideration. He thought Abbeville would go S] dry on account of Anderson and Greenwood EC These counties are neighbors. To them w?are fostering a nuisance and the neighborly C( thing to do, would be to vote It out. He say; ^ that the people outside of Abbeville County ct would feel results if the dispensary la voted sc out more keenly than people here In the hi County Itself. rr When a man comes to Abbeville and buys g< liquor he takes only one drink in town and ai reserves his bachanals for the highway borne. There they shoot and bowl and yell, ir and go home to make trouble for their wives. ?^e cited instances where phone messages ta were received at Due West in effect to look W ont for such and such a party and have them th arrested who were holding high cornlva) along the Due West road. He also cited cases gi where boys slipped off from college and came to Abbeville to get wblskey. He mentioned ? the opinion of a man who lives on the road nj between Abbeville and Anderson who Bays d( that person visiting Anderson and returning, come back'clotbed and In tbelr rigbt mlndt- 61 while those from Abbeville are the reverse, ta This man was out eight or ten miles from bi police protection and fell tbe want keenly. bl The speaker was at Greenwood once. Four tr men were tbere to take tbe train with tbe h< conventional suit cases in their band/. lil Boys were tbere with tbelr money banding to it over and glvlDg in their orders for Abbe- bl vllle wblskey. He would like to know 11 be tbls is fair to Greenwood. 8U Tbe North Augusta dispensary was also le mentioned as a nuisance and most unfair to bl Augusta. , The speaker Is ol the idea that the dlspen 1? Bary will be voted out when the objections to tU its being voted out are considered. Ont A cblef objection is that It will bring Jn a flood sii of blind tigers. Some people unkindly lnti- io ? ?Ho? hlirir! tiof rK want it voted out. He uiavv iiiuv wuuv. ? .. Bays that many consider the question as a W. ctooice between blind tigers and the diipec- Ql sary. These people, however, are mistaken, at< for it i& blind tigers eltber way, with or wltb- OV out the dispensary. He says that Abbeville ju has blind tigers and Charleston has blind tigers, instead of having one or the other, we have all of them. No one expects enforcement of the aw, all i we may expect is that this law be enforoed at any other law is enforced. And if we have tblB enforcement we will have less drlnklnp. Enforcement oi the law depends upon each citizen. If those in cffice whose duty it 1b to Ut enforce the law do not do so, then we will op put men in office wbo wll. enforce it. Temperance cannot be promulgated In a -LM day. He Bays that It will not affect this generation one way or tbe other very mucb, but aD witb tbe law on the statute book, we will ex- va pect results in tbe next generation. And So while tbe next generation will be largely in flue need by this present generation the third ca generation will not be so influenced. The position of the true prohibitionist in tb this matter is not Bgalnst the blind tigers or S1< tbe dispensary but is against tbe sale ci liquor in all of its forms. [Applause.] He does not want to be a partaker of the evil in any way whatsoever. 10 The most dire, lawless man, the worst kind 1?< of a citizen Is tbe man who will peddle out \ whiskey In tbe woods, who will sell whiskey 8' contrary to law. Sucii a man would shoot se you behind your back. innihur awiiment BirainBt tbe voting out | tb oribe dispensary is tbe revenue. Revenue ns should not be placed In tbe balance against th tbe womanhood and boyhood of tbe county. Vi He spoke of the disgrace of building a churcb with dispensary money. If It is wrong to put K In the church why Is It not wrong to put It Al In the schools? A man would have to drink S col $24 worth of whiskey In order to get $1.00 for aai the schools. Think of spending S'Ji in order ctl to save SI.00 for the public 6cbool. Assuult and battery cases at negro big up meetings were generally traclble to theAb- Pr bevllle dispensary. yc lie says that It seems to be tbe policy df tbe tit dispensary to sell all the whiskey possible. Tbe original plan of tbe dispensary to curtail the sale of whiskey has miscarried. Three C years ago the dispensary sold ninety-seven ^ t housand dollars worth ol whiskey, last year re It sold one hundred and fifty-two thousand ex dollars worth of whiskey, it 1b also the poll cy of tbe dispensary to get as much revenue as possible. When tbe dispensary sold ninety-seven thousand dollars worth It made j I adi Be i iroflt of S19//S0. Last year WD60 It sOld st year when It sold ?152,000 worth It made troflt of 858,375, a big revenue. yith these facts before the people he night the dispensary would bo voted out. tev. John U Hartoy begun by saying that 1ms many good friends among the Dlspenles, there are many prohibitionists with > dispensaries. There was once a Irishman o loved ills mother-in-law, said the spenkThe mother-in-law became ill and Pal it for the Doctor. Tbe doctor came and at 2e told Pat that tils mother-in-law would veto go to a warmer climate. What! says t, yes, says the Doctor, she will have to go a warmer climate. Pat left and returned tears with the axe In his band and said to } doctor, "you lilt her doctor, I can't." io It is with a great many men, th ey don't nt to bit the dispensary, and sometimes iachers were unwilling to "hit her." Such ireacber ought to get out of the pulptt. .'Ue speaker said they were not fighting >n but liquor. He said that the liquor ces were organized and were at work but attbey will not come out into the open d fight fairly. He stated that plans were awing in Berkley county to vote 300 negroes Eiinst prohibition, bnt that tbey would be iappolnted. Hob Small, he says, is stumpl the county In Beaufort, that Bob Small, legro, had come to him and told him that ey would carry tbe county for prohibition, ie stated that there were twice as many nd tigers in dispensary counties as there 3 in counties where there are no dlspen* rlea. Tbe dispensary is not only a retail [Uor bouse but it is also a wholesale place r blind tiger supplies. He has seen bottle ier bottle bought and no papers signed at 1, so much in one suit case that tbe buyer d to put his knee on it to fasten it. Like e wile who phoned to her husband to come that iha hoi of books which bad UIO VJUiuni vw?> ? sl airlved by express was leaking! L'be liquor men are fighting under oover, be rs.

He says that the liquor men have elr henchmen In Abbeville county, to say at the prohibition law Is a farce and a llure. The prohibition party should know who e Election Commissioners are. Ue laid eat stresB on this, and stated that at least le prohibitionist should be a manager at ery precinct. The dispensary people are ylng to reglst' r men who have not been In e State long enough to register. He stated further that the liquor dealers tended to flood the State with whiskey, irlng the. two week's Interim when the speniarles are to be closed. Dr. Elliot's Book 'Shelf. The former president of Harvard, in Ddertaking to name the books of his ooderful library which is to give us a one sneii, nve xeei in jengm, id? esmtials of a liberal education, has excised himself to the batteries of au inijrnant popular opposition. There is hardly a point on the hori5n which is not covered by a gun, le muzzle of which is aimed directly fc the breast of Dr. Charles W. Elliot. Like the Greecian. Ajax, he has deberately defied the lightening and he iust take the consequences. For nowhere in tbis brief list of Doks in which he is supposed to dis11 for us tbe wisdom of the ages can b found one single drama of the imlortal Bard of Avon. By almost universal consent, Shake: jeare stands at the apex of the pyralid of letters. From no other orator are we such jnstant and inveterate borrowers, [is quips and phrases belong to tbe irrency of everyday speech. Unconliously we utter the language which e has "put upon our tongues, for tbis larvelous magician with the key of ;nius has invaded all treasure houses ad unlocked all vaults. Well has he been called the myriadilnded Shakespeare. For to quote an admiring commen,tor: "He was an intellectual ocean, V*aoa tirotroc tnnnhed all the shores of UUDt nuivu lougbt." I Yet this potentate of the drama is ven co place on this sbelf of books, i We can find tbe "Autobiography of eDjamin Franklin," and tbe "Jouril of John Woodman," but in vain ) we look for "Hamlet." Most of us bave been taugbt to revence tbe old Bible. It ban become a rget of late years for the shafts of the igber criticism; and impious hands ive sought to destroy the bulwark of utb. But in countless millions of jmes it has been the very lamp of fe. Few are the hovels too squalid contain this one precious asset. Zt is softened tbe couch of pain. It has autified the hour of death. It has irvived sword aud famine and pestinee and fire. To multitudes of tbe jman race it has been the sole substite for an education. Upon it countas books have been written. It has tored both the head and the heart, nd today it constitutes the divine ba3 of the world's all-conquering relign. Some of us may recall a packet bich waB put into our hand when we lit the doorstepn of the old Domeead; and on the fly leaf in mother's m familiar band was written the adration : 'May this blest volume ever lie Close to tby heart and near thine eye, Till life's last hour thy soul engage, And be thy chosen heritage." And the contents of this little volue have revolutionized the philosihies of men. Yet the Bible is given no place on r. Elliot's shelf of books. We can find the philosophy of Plato id the lay of Tam O'Shanter, but in ,in do we look for the proverbs of ilomon or for the songs of David. Is it auy wonder that the great edutor should have provoked the proit of men who have been reared in e atmosphere of the Christian fireie? Perhaps Dr. Elliot took it for grantthat both the Bible and the amas of Shakespeare were already eluded among the household be ginge. But?mark you?be claims to be ving us in this list of books the esntials of the world's literature. And be cannot omit from this list e great classics which we have imed without rightfully incurring e criticism which he has thus inted.

WARNING BY ONE WHO KNOWS lelen Clark, Missionary for Seventeen Years, Says "Close the Door of Every Mission Where White Women Are Em. ployed'?She Sees No Result Except "Ruin and Wrecked Homes." Miss Helen Clark, director of the ielen Clark mission, at 195 Worth treet. in in a position to speak with lUthority on the subject of Chinese nnsionary work, haviug been engaged in it for seventeen years. She ?as stronpr views on the danger to roung girls who give iudivual atten,i 11 to the wily heathen. "There are many things to be said >n both sides of the question, in deense as well as in arraignment of the Jhiuaman," said Mi s Clark today. 'Only a person on the Inside, as I am ;an undersiand. "But there is only one answer to it ill. White women must leave the ivesoftbe Chinese men alone." Miss Clark has plaiuly been much jbaken by the Sigel tradegy. Although a woman with the self-control that eomes of a fixed purpose pursued through years of personal sacrifice, she was unable while discussing phases of her life work to restrain the trembling of her lips, her eyts, darkly mourning, tilled with tfars. Are Many Elsie Sigels. ''And you do not believe any white woman should endeavor to Christianize Chinamen?" I apked, "For seventeen years I have urged tbe folly of that. All about me I have ?pu the ruin and wrrcked homes. Case after <ase that parall 11 Elsie Sleet's, with the exception of ita tragic termination. But even so, death is better than some things. 1 have believed from the very beginning tbat it was impopsible for white women to properly influence Chinese men. "My belief and practice on this point have made my labor harder and my mission attendance smaller. Bnt I have adhered to what I considered T_ I ngui. ?u my uia?dco iui vuiucoc men I have had Christian men as teachers I was in the background. My classes have been smaller than those of any other mission, but I am sure of my converts." "Then it is the attraction of sex, and not religion, that predominates? "In both cases," she said firmly. "Despite all that is in the papers now' the public does not see the other side of the picture?the Chinese side. The picture that I have seen of the young, vain, faivolous white woman deliberately flirting with and leading on her Chinese pupil. Why do such women take up missionary work? Heaven only knows. They are beyond me, unless is is that we each of us like to have the name of being good, no matter what we do. Puzzle to the Chinese. "But consider what a puzzle such women must be to the Chinese, men of a race totaily unaccustodoed to any freedom for women. Is it strange that they misjudge behavior that even an American would question? "As to what subtle attraction causes the downfall of the white woman missionary, I do not know- The Cbinaman is a mystic, but not romantic? not in the peDse that would appeal to women. The only light I eee is In what might be tailed the gallantly of the Chinaman?bis kindness and gentleness to women. "Does anyone realize that more tban half of the underworld who come to Chinatown make their homes there because Chinamen are more kind to them than whit4 men? It is true, I have seen it. Seen Chinamen, practically married to these women, the slaves of opinm, treating them with patience and consideration. Maybe it is this gentleness that appeals. J do not know what eite." The Suggestion of Sex. "But should even a suggestion of sex ever be called upon to aid in conversion to Christianity?"' "Never! Never!" reiterated Miss Clark vehemently. "And aa it will creep in where there are women teachers, I eay, close the doors of every mission wbosf white women are employed." At first even the Christianized .Chinese may misunderstand? may take it as an insult. But it will be better to meet this, and know how many real converts we have." !-And do you think there would be fewer apparent converts if there were only men missionarieb?" ".I am sure of it, admitted Miss ml noto ntl\T *'H?t thoup lin* VJai n jcmuiuuiij, wu v i*>vwv thinkable evils would be eliminated; too"I have never encountered personal uupleasantness in my work,* for I liaue never permitted unpleasantness to advance beyond the grst stage. 'iThere have been Chinese who have joined classes here whom I have requested to leave this bouse for all time. I have been convinced by watching them that their influence was bad and that I did uot want them around. No Place for White women. "But why white people should have the impeessiou that the Juneducated Chinese are more criminally inclined than men of ssmilar class of any other uationality is more than I cau tell. [ know I had that feeling myself when I I started my missionary work. "This subject is so tremendous that you cannot put it plainly. I caunot Lell briefly of all that it has tuken me seventeen years* to learn. "But there is one big truth I was jure when I first took up the work und of which years have made me postive beyond argument?the white women can never Christianize the L'hinese man. If she tried it, it will be :he West converted to the East, not :he Kast converted to the West. Could Xot Be Bcttrr.
