These "maw-worms" and "pecksnlffs" have looked on us with the same crost-eyed crafti- v ness with which we have looked upon the 0 hottentots and canDlbalB of East India. To u them we have been something worth while sighting a gun at. To them our cruelty to the poor and the down-trodden reeks or the pit, and the Incense from our altars, to them, ^ smells of brimstone. 0 Some ot these bewlskered pharlsees have y kept so close an eye on us mat they have w been unable to see what Is going on around ^ themselves, and following a will-o-ttae-wlsp 1( In the South have tailed to discover the ter- ^ rlble wrongs that are being enacted ever> day around them. "The Nation and the Traffic In Women" Is the title of a pamphlet printed by the Na- b tlonal Vigilance Committee of the United States. All that Is said In this little book lb d true, and Its subject matter Is enough to make L] the most callous sklii curl In cold horror. It y Is enough to make the goose flesh rise up and crawl off. b The Idea that people can reach such a point R as to make their bread by stealing Innocent and helpless girls away from their homes, H| keeping them In durance vile until they have ? , completely accomplished their ruin Is stmpl> unbellvable. Thank the Lord that the mac a does not live that can do this In South Caro- _ lina. J( About a year ago the body of a young girl ,j was taken from the lake at Chicago, and dur- n log the time allowe l for Identification It U 0 said that nearly 500 persons, relatives of missInn olrla nnllprl tfl KPfi If this Was their lOSt one. Instance after instance is cited where "cm- tl dets" kidnapped and marooned innocent u girls in these horrifying holes of purgatory w until they have accomplished their complete w rain and degradation. > l, And yet some beetle-headed ninnyham- u mers who live in the very midst of all this, b( have their eyes so distorted with the mjopia w of prejudice that they cannot see anything 0( wrong next door, but can see Imaginary sl wrongs away off down here where it does not jl: concern them in the least. There 1b no name from the South that hat Joined the galaxy of saints, but our people g, are made of a clay that will not brook suoh Q| damning practices within the borders of our lt Southland. If the North does not put a quick ^ stop to the awful praotlce, the South would a do well to send missionaries up there who would help those benighted people to open w meir eyes to a prHcuce wuuiu iucn uuiusit 0) that 1b born of tbe bottomless pit and that is unnamable in Its horror. I{ - tl Why not Abbeville? * 81 The members of tbe Board of Trustees o' ,, G Clfmton College aie thinking ol establishing a fitting Ecbool for that Institution. Tbt g| course of study at Clemson is so different g| Jrcm that of other institutions of learning that a fitting rchool Is almost a necessity. t) For instance as we understand, the Clemson u student begins tbe study of mechanic* earl; b in tbe College course aod there is no study in r( tbe common schools leading up td\his study The course of study in tbe common schools t( Is preparatory only for literary colleges, and y 'mechanical ;and agricultural colleges labor )( under a disadvantage in this respect. I, Tf tVilo flttlnor C^hnnl Ic Hnllf n nrl thorA is. . ** ? ? II a likelihood tbat it will be built, Abbeville e Is the logical place to locate It. It baa beeD y' suggested that the school be named "the Cal- 0 honn (School," in view of this Abbeville p should by all means have the School; for Abbeville la Calhoun's native County. He g1 was born a few miles below here, on what 1* e( now known as the White Plaoe He prac- fttlced law here, this was his home. p It would not be advisable to build the School too near to the College. The two should be separate and dlBtlnct, and it is p probable that it will be built at some distance from the co lege. .There are many good reasons why the school should be establish ed here and no good reason why it should not be established here. i We can get it if we go after it in the proper E spirit. It is worth having and so why not KnwiA HO TKft Polhnnn 1?M t f 1 ri <r Qs?>tn/\1 nf Abbeville fconnds good, let us make It a re- ^ in'' ? No place can have too many Institutions of learning.

What q objection conld there be on the part of the Prohibitionists to those who wsll have tbelr si liquor ordering It from these places? n It will make'hem rich, ol course, but .we tl would rather make Columbia and Charles- s: ton rloh than to enrich Chattanooga and le Clnclnnattl. o A certain amount of liquor will be had, if tl it is possible to get it home without confls- li cation, and why not make a law tbat will g allow these who want it to get It in Columbia and Charleston- Those places are near, f< xuoy see nu? iue/ icyioeiii, auu lue uuyer a knows what he Is gettiDg. It can be deliver- fc ed from Columbia sooner than from other places, so why oot get It there. s \ V Graminivorous or Carnivorous. u The question, Is where did those chlggers get their breakrast the morning before the fat luclous plcDleers arrived? b The Anti-saloon league will soon have J1 worked themselves out of a Job .In SouthCarolina.

Your sottis! rays have caused us mucb strife, 111 feellut d dlssentlOD. We have Just gone through an electloi rhlch we have held so'ely on your accouni )o you appreciate the honor we have coc srred on you? Do you realize that this en Ire election was held to save you? Do yoi eallze that we have straddled a law on uf hal does not suit any one thai we know c xcept the man that wrote it, Just to shut yoi IT from gin? All on your account, Sot, all t ave you. You know very well, Sot, that we were no worrying about ourtelves, not at all. Tbl lection was prompted by a great gush < ltrulsm, of love for you and devotion t our salvation. Really, Sot, you should try to do bette rhen you see that tbe majority of ua are wil ing to straddle anwelcome regulations 01 urseives in order tbat we mef compass our salvation. Don't you feel kindly tc rard us for tbe keen interest we have man tested in your benali? Don't you think tha Lis up to you to show your appreciation c tiat interest in endeavoring after temperano nd sobrletj? We are a great and good people, Sot, am sme one ought to brag on us for what w w-v-i# nrk? ave just achieved id your ueutm. ??ua reater proof of our magnanimity would on emand than the recent election? You don' tiliik that we despise wblskey, do you? I ou think so, my dear Sot, you are entirely ilstaken. It Is not that we love Caesar less ut that we love Rome more! It ts not (ha re hate whiskey, most of us like It, but be siuse we cannot stand to see you ruin your 9lf when we might, by voting It out of you ay, help you. Brace up, Sot, sit up and take notice. Loot t the great sacrifice and self denial on tbi art of the majority In the recent election igi. to pull yououtofthe mire. We woul< ke to keep a pint stoup of spirits arouDd fo euralgia. eio. We would like to keep a Ju{ f good old blackberry wine, as we bavedom II our lives, for medicinal use, but for yon ike, dear Sot, we have cut It all out.

We have passed out the little browi ig with tbc blackberry juice In order thai ou may Dot be subjected to temptation. You should mend your gin guzzling ways at, when you come to weigh tbe matter yoi iunot but show your appreciation of ou iterest by putting a quietus on your run ishlng proclivities and calling a halt to you lad career. Do you tblDk, Sot, that the devil Is In tb< 'hlskey or In you? Does bis Santanlc me J sty dwell In tbe corn or does he find abod i tth heart of tbe drunkard? At any rate it It not be In vain that we have done al lis, brace up, shake tbe shackles off. Hot isny of you are there In the county Sol re there ten? Perhaps there are fifty? Mor till? Well the entire county Is wrought u] ver your condition, we cannot longer brool ouriuln, we must shut you off from thi tuff so that you may make a man of your sir. Ob that you could stand up against tb amptatloD aDd be a man, without reduclm s to the necessity of parting with our Jug o lack berry and bottle of camphor In order t< amove the temptation from you. We all have sins Sot, but tbey do not seen ) be as heinous In the eyes of priests as ar ours. You surely do not realize to what i >w rung you are hanging on the'clvlo laddei i fact you seem to be walloping around ii je mud at the very bottom. You have lb ^es of every one on the ladder fastened 01 ou, and some necks are craned to the poln f dfscomfort endeavoring to fllgure out you light and give you advloe. My dear Sot, get out of the mire, you ar topping the wheels of progress, your un overnable appetites have become a subjec >r International alarm. Horrible tblne^an ropbealed unless you call a bait. Why can' on do It? Be quit of your sottish ways and give u eace. TO CONTEST THE ELECTION. The Anti Saloon League are to oonteBtth leotlon lu Richland County.
