DKI'G STCKES TO CLOSE
Beginning next Sunday the Drug
Stores of the city will be closed on
Sundays. This step was determined
upon hy the Druggists of the city,
who held a conference last week with
the Mavor. Dn C. C. Gambrell, on the
subject.
The Druggists are to be commended
for the step they have taken. The
Druggists as such do not wish to open
doors on Sunday but they and the
clerks of such establishments are be
set by individuals to allow them to
enter the stores in order to buy this
or that that they liaye neglected to
get on Saturdays and of course it is a
temptation.
Not many people have conscien
tious scruples against buying any
thing they may want on Sunday pro
vided there is the opportunity. We are
?<" ? 1?* Iw fhla Vann?r>t Vp_ar
gruwiu? UlUiV 1U* 0
by year. We are approaching a time
when Sunday will not be very differ
ent from other days, except as a fete
day, as it Is in many other countries.
The signs all point this way. The fact
that the drug stores are open shows
a demand for it. They do not remain
open by *ay of formality.
The old fashioned Sunday observ
ance is a thing of the past Probably
you can remember when no supper
was cooked on Sundays or no meals
at all were cooked on Sundays. That
time Is past?gone for us as a nation.
With it went the Sunday evening at
home. Now even in this strict,straight
laced saducee country, Sunday even
ings are spent on the boulevards,along
the pleasant lanes, in automobiles,
while the home is closed.
The purpose of ^unday has come to
be not rest but enjoyment Especially
is this so with younger people, who
are engaged for the whole time dur
ing the week, and they ease their con
sciences, if indeed they have any con
scientious scruples, by stating that
Sunday Is the only time they have for
recreation and recreation Is neces
sary.
Young people go out picplcing now
on Sunday seemingly with too fear of
lightening striking them before they
return. They "cfut" church to watch
the trains come in, and if the drug
stores are open they buy whatever
they need or m'ay wish with as much
sang froid as they would on Monday
morning.
Sunday observance is a diflicult
theme to preach about. No two men
have the same views. What is food for
one is poison for the other; what is
harmful to one is harmless to the
otfc*r. Especially is this true in the
observance of our Sabbath-day. Some
men do things seemingly with a clear
conscience on Sunday that would
seem horrifying to another.
But the individual who pretends to
observe the Sabbath-day must have
some fixed rules, metes, or bounds.by
which his conduct is governed on that
day. Otherwise he will soon find him
?" ?*Ko nsiac nf th? Sabbath
BCU WilUUUb uio yM?vi# w* - ? ? ?
of his parents. He must go to church,
or; he must not get his mull, or he
must do certain reading, or he must
not visit, etc. To observe the Sunday
as we have been taught to do we are
obliged to have these "musts" and
"must nots."
Likewise towns must have them if
the proper moral atmosphere is to be
created and retained. We cannot ex
pect the individual to show proper
respect for moral obligations when
the outhorities show no such respect
Be it said of Abbeville's Druggists
that no better men, no more conscien*
tious men, no more^ thoroughly re
sponsible up-right men, men of in
tegrity, can be found in any city or
town in this union thrin are found in
the personel of Abbeville's Drug
gists. And that means more to a town
than one imagines.

Sinking of the Titanic.
The sinking of the mighty ship Titanic
carrying some sixteen hunnrea souls to a
watery grave, has cast a gloom over this
country and Europe that is felt in every
home.
The Titantic was the largest ship that
ever rode the waves, measuring nearly
three hundred yards long, ninety odd feet
wide and one hundred and seventy-five
feet from bottom to top of turret It was
a new ship, built with air tight sections
which were supposed to keep it afioat de
spite any conceivable injury to it And yet
it went down as easily as did t(ie frail
boats of tne ancients that were propelled
by galley slaves.
It would seem that old ocean has fallen
upon the mtghtest leviathan of this scienti
fic age to reassert its terrible supremacy.
"Man marks the earth with ruin?bis con
trol. . .
Stops with the shore?upon the watery
plain,
The wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth re
main,
A shadow of man's ravage, save his own,
When (or a moment like a drop of rain.
He sinks into thy depths with bubbling
groan,
Without a grave, unknelled, unoofflped and
unknown."
The Introduction of steam shortening
the ocean voyage; the application of
science in every detail of ship construc
tion ; and above all things, the almost su
pernatural wireless telegraphy, It would
seem, would reduce the tole of the ocean
to nominal figures. But It Is as true now
s when it was written by the ancients:
"They that go down into the sea in ships
shall perish in the deep."
No caste or class or wealth or rank Is
recognised in the ocean's domalq, when
man becomes Its prey. All men are pau
pers In its inexorable grasp. . . - f
Aside from the universal pity excited by
thA inn* nf life on the sunken Titanic,
there are valuable lessona In the Incident
for the public mind. Tbe chlvplry that
prompted the men aboard to care first for
helpless women and children In'the face of
certain death for themselves, is conclusive
that man Is not degenerating,scientists to
the contrary, notwithstanding. History
does not record a nobler deed than that of
the men aboard tbe ill fated ship. And
the conduct of certain millionaire* aboard,
shows that much of criticism by the en
vious who can see only effemlncy and greed
as a result of fabulous wealth, is ill found
ed. Mr. Asto^, a member of the oldest
and wealthiest family in this country, met
death as ealmly as did the humblest pas
senger aboard. And the same is true of
Mr. Strouse and Mr. Ougenheim.
Then again, the effect of military train
ing making its possessor calm and meth
odical in the hour of danger, and supreme
in eoutrollng tbe fears of those about him,
Was superbly Illustrated in tbe conduct of
Major Arcbibold Butt, aid to President
Taft, and Col. Archibold Grade, U. 8. A.
Tbe former cared for the helpless women
and children and this done met death
calmly, as a soldier should. The latter
taking his chances with the meu leaped
Into the sea and was the means of saving
thirty odd souls. 4
Ad incident Is recalled something over a
year ago in which a ship twk lire at sea.
The passengers were panic stricken ami
none seemed to know what to do Ther*
chanced to be three soldiers aboard. Thoy
at once took in the situation aud went
methodically to work to relieve It The
Are wad in the hole of the ship and its pro
gress shut off entrance from within. Oue
of the soldiers was let down beside tbe
ship and suspended by the others holding
to bis feet. The suspended soldier was
given a hose which he turned Sk the lira
through a port hole and in a little while
the fire was extinguished. Tbe strength
of discipline in the hour of dagger was
never more strongly illustrated than in
tbe conduct of Major Butt and::$olonel
Grade in the last hours of tbe Tttan$6.
Another interesting lesson drawn from
Incidents on tbe sinking Titanlo is the
supremacy of tbe Anglo-Saxon raoe. Six
Chinese laborers saved their lives by
crouching under the sea{? of tbe life
boats. In this they evidehced their cun
nlng, but wfcen their oomluct is contrasted
with the magnliloent conduct of the white
men aboard it makes them appear despica
ble indeed. The traits here so clearly
brought out are national characteristics of
the races and account for the mastery of
the white races.
If the sinking of the Titanic Is consider
ed as something more tban a mere chance
aooldent, still another question of Interest
arises.
We would Inquire reverentially, why In
the dispensation of Providence, should a
crew composed of so many noble hearted
men and women he swallowed up by the
sea? Why should such a man as Isadore
Strouse, a life long philanthropist, whose
great wealth haB been poured out for the
relief of the suffering poor, die a more mis
erable and harrowing death th*? the most
wretched of those who he hq|| succored?
Surely "God's ways are no?*aa. man's
ways" and his purposes are t^cyood finite
comprehension.
It is certain that the loss of the largest
vessel in the world, newly lauched, with
passengers who were known world wide,
KwlvtMM* ?\iw\mlnan^l? fKa fanf fhaf fKn
uiiuko uuv (/iumuiOHM/ tuu t?vv wmi' wuv
product of human Ingenuity, In its most
Buocessful accomplishment, 1b but the toy
of fate. Or viewed Providentially we must
conclude that the limit of man's skill and
ability for providing against danger will
ever fall short ef disaster that have their
place In the plans of the M&ker of the Uni
verse. j. * >
Tip for Erskine's Trustees.
We believe it was the SpartanbUrg Jour
nal that said: v
"Tbustem* Libbbal Gutb.?The trus
tees of Converse College are to beooUKmt
ulated on the determined manner lu which
tbey have gone about securing the addi
tional endowment for the institution. They
should be proud of the f&ct that one-third
of 9100,000 was raised among themselves:
that the men who guide toe destinies of
the college have given this amount to the
school they love. *
To keep her place among the leading
colleges of the South, it Is necessary for
Converse to keep up with the pace set by
other institutions. To do this,'additional
endowment is needed and mustfce bad."
If the trustees of Ersklne should now
do as did the trustees of Converse they
will no doabt be sorry that the Synod
threw away so many of the faithful trus
tees who helped to raise the first 9100,000.
In raising the next $100,000 it may be real
ized that it is better for a oollege to hold
on to its friends. Thdy may be useful a
little later on.?H. W. ? v

That Col. Theodore Boosevelt has car

Omaha, Neb., April 30.?That Col. Roose
velt carried Nebraska by a big majority In
the primary, yesterday was made certain
and strength was added to the belief that
Champ Olark was the Democratic choice
when added: returns from the election
came in today. Returns received thus far,
approximately one-fourth of the total
vote, ^how'the following result:
Republican?Roosevelt 21,141; La Fol

Democrats-r-Clark 8,949; Harmon 8,461;
Wilson 6,453.
Indications are that Champ Clark has
carried the First, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
districts and will have a majority of the
votes in the State.
WoodroW Wilson has not had a majority
of the retains received thus far from any
of the six districts.
The Nebraska primary law is indefinite
as to whether delegates to the national
conventioa shall be governed by the votes
in their districts or by the 8tate-wide vote,
but the delegates Intend to vote in accord

Indications are that Shall enburger will

Relief for Sufferers in the Mis
sissippi Valley.
Notwithstanding the awfulness of the
disaster to the Titantic, wherein nearly
two thousand lives were blotted out amid
the Ice flows off Cape Race, the great heart
of the nation is rent with sorrow and pity
for the lives lost and in peril through the
floods in the Mississippi valley. Almost
simultaneously with the news of the Titan
tic's frightful end came the dread intelli
gence that the Mississippi, higher than
ever before in the history of the Weather
Bereau, was still rising and that thousands
of lives were in imminent peril.
The government, through messages of
the President and the pleas of the Secre
tary of War. has been rushing relief trains
to the Inundated localities, supplying food
and shelter to the homeless and aidiug,
wherever possible, in strengthing the
levees along the oourse of the mighty
river.
Senator-elect Joseph E. Ransdell. of
Louisiana, President of the National Riv
ers and Harbors Congress, whosn home is
in the flood-covered district, near the Ar
kansas line, has for the past two weeks
been on the scene of the inundation and
h?? kent, the authorities in Washington ad
vised as to the necessities of the situation.
It is expected that just as soon as possible
Mr. ftunsdell will return to Washington
and make an effort to increase the amount
oarried in the river and harbor appropria
tion bill for levees and revetment work,
the necessity for such additional appro
priations being universally conceded.
During the hearings the past week on
river improvement prospects the Lakes to
the Gulf representatives extended an invi
tation to the Commerce Committee of the
Senate to make the trip down the Missis
sipp' this time, urging that the. object
less* would be of incalculable benefit to
the members and would give them a first
hand knowledge of the needs of the Mis
sissippi that would be more valuable than
all the maps and reports in the world.
For a time it seemed probable that the
Senators would make the trip, but so many
are the demands upon them just now, par
ticularly from sectious of the country other
than the water-shed of the Mississippi
and its tributaries desiring hearings before
the committee that the visit was finally
but reluctantly given up.
It is an interesting side-light on the
Dick-Henry patent case recently decided
in the Supreme Court in favor of the paten
fao f hnfr ho hoe t.ho richt, to Rftfecruard his
patent to the extent of stipulating what
material or other essential shall be used in
making his patent useful and perfect, to
know that the British patent law was the
outgrowth of i contest against monopolies
which, In many of its features, resembles
the contest going on today. It is the cus
tomary statement that Parliament is en
titled to all the credit for having won trade
liberty for English-speaking people.
In a sense this is true, but curiously
enough It was Pari ament which original
ly was Itself the representasive of monop
olies because its members were largely re
cruited from the great town Guilds, that is
the great trade Guilds of England. It was
the endeavor of Parliament to maintain
the monopoly of these trade guilds and to
prevent the country people at large from
entering upon any of these trades except
through the restricted channels of the
guild.
Out of the abuse of grants given the
guilds the people rose up and demanded
their rights with the result that a contest
ensuedlbetween the crown and Parliament
resulting first in the interesting and re
markable proclamation of Elizabeth in
1601 through her secretary, Lord Cecil,
and In her "Golden Speech" to the mem
bers of the House of Commons in Novem
ber of the same year. Hut after Elizabeth
came unfortunately James and Charles I.
And the fight went on until finally Parlia
ment succeeded in wresting from James in
1623 the great Statute of Monopolies which
provided for the introduction of new
trades making exception to the first inven
tors of new manufactures.
In view of the number of men, whose
names, like that of Abou Ben Adham "led
all thte rest," who went to their graves in
the Atlantic on that awful night when the
Titantio struck the iceberg, "as big as a
mountain," it Is interesting to know that
the Chinese, In their maritime regulations,
insist upon saving the men first, the chil
dren next and the women last, on theory
that the men are more useful to the State
fhnn women, "for what wOuld womeu
do without th?lr husbands ?"

Getting Ready
(It is the evening of the an

room is littered with cast-off shoes,
hosiery, skirts, neckties, and other ar
ticles of apparel.)
Mrs. Gunnle?If you don't stand still,
Geraldine, I'll?
Geraldine?Will there be ice cream?
An' kin I take my new doll? Say, kin
I wear the new apron Aunt May gave

Mrs. Gunnle?You'll drive me crazy,
both of you? The Idea of your acting
so, Johnny, when all the children of
every human being I know will be
there! Do you think I'm going to
have ftlks say I didn't take enough In
terest In my own children to have
them there, too? Put that perfume bot

You'll be a regular barber shop?
John?Aw, mother, have I got to

going to look at my neck, anyhow?
Aw, gee!

Or you won't go a step!
John?Honest, kin I stay at home?
I'd lots rather, an' I'll ask Billy
