It is wonderful what a different view we take of the ie evert four-and-tv enty lours after it has happened.

The shortage of that com modity is possibly due to the fact that this is an off-year in politics. ; AD effort is being made to get .?. "good men" to run the county dis peri sar ies under the new law, but wo do not believe that many good "men will be tempted into accept ing/ positions that "require them to buy and sell liquor. County dis o . : pensaries are no botter than the ?tate dispensary or aiiy. other : kiud of-a barroom, and it is. as wrong to sell whiskey in one as Another.-Pee Dee Advocate. .. Some of the Columbia ''boozers" seem to possess elephantine ca ... pssity? A few dayB ago 40 gallons of whiskey, marked "for personal uss," were seized in the capital city.

'Despite the blocking of-the . immigration movement by; the a?tipna?: authorities, through the" /e^rtaana". otherwise, the outlook for the south has never..: been brighter. The passage pf the bill providing for immigration sta tions at Charleston, Galveston ard New Orleans, : carrying appropria *. tiona fdr their establishment, is a decided victory. Furthermore, the proposed, trip to Bremen by Com missioner Watson, Ex-Gov. Hey ward and Mr. P. H. Gadsden, of Charleston, will bring the foreign ers into closer touch with South Carolina, and give added impetus to our cause. :': In another county in this state ?' man was recently convicted upon a grave charge - and before sentence was passed by the court, attorneys for the defendant pre sented petitions setting forth the high esteem in which he was held in the community, asking that the /sentence of the court be as light ~aa possible. Were such petitions .Seeded, a new precedent in the .matter bf dispensing justice would be established. Punishment for violated law should be ia keeping wi?h the degree of the crime and not. according to che degree of es ?t&ni in which the violator is held ' b^jiisfellow-men. --: ? A Retraction in Order. Just as his friends expected, .time has proven the charges brought against Eon. M. F. Ansel by his opponents in the campaign ' last .sum mer to be utterly false. 2 Instead of being a "straddler" and a "smooth politician," . he bas prove rviimeelf to be a statesman. Since Governor Ansel has been at Jtbe helm of the Ship of State, no jp?uef executive within the past fifteen years has bad graver issues to face of more perplexing prob Jems to solve, yet heJias discharg ed every do\ty. with a courage so dauntless a^d with judgment BO unerring as to call forth the ad-j ';miratiou of hie bitterest oppo n"?0ts. Had he been tbe smooth litician that he has bsen pic tured, he could have usod the ap :intive power .^o furlher his litical ends. Instead of doing Jhis, Governor Ansel has filled very position that it became his duty under the Jaw to fill with oiaest, thoroughgoing, business ien who were entirely free from ny- political taint or entangie .ej?ta. Let t hos? who have cast; aspersion npon Hon. M. F. Ansel j r^anoeforth "hold their peace/' An Ideal Charge; Judge Prince's charg* to t grand jury on Monday was model, being par excellence t ablest and most comprehensi charge that bas been delivered the Edgefield court room in ma years. Besides outlining the du ofagraud juror in a very lui manner, he, with great force a earnestness, appealed to the ma hood and moral souse of the gentlemen, urging them to d j charge their duty fearlessly a faithfully. In his jemarks, Jud Princ9 laid eepecial emphd upon racial purity and the edn< tion of the white children, urgii that the integrity and supre acy of thq Anglo-Saxon race preserved at all hazard. Wou that every citizen iu the coun could have beard thia id< charge ! Fifty Years Ago. The following account of t burning of the barn of Col. W. Pickene, which is taken frc The Advertiser of Feb-uary 18i 1857, will be of interest to ma of our readers: The large barn of Hon. F. ~\ Pickene, two miles from tl place, on the Newberry road, w consumed by fire on Friday eve ing last, "involving a very co siderable loss to the owner T building was ninety feet in leug by forty-eight in breadth, t stones high, with granary, cor shel lerp, fan. thrasher, straw ci terp, etc., complete. lu the oas ment were some twenty-five thirty mules aud several blood mares. Two of the inanes and fi of the mules were burnt to deat Twenty-one of the muips we saved with comparatively lin injury. About two thousand ai seven hundred bushels of cor besides a very large quautity fodder, oats, wheat and ppas we lost. Out of a bulk of about thr thousand bushels of corn in tl shuck, some seven hundred busl els were saved by hauling wat and throwing it upou the burnii mass. A.lopg and corumodioi cow house, adjoining, was ah burnt, and also a shuck barn. Tl total loss is estimated at *5,0( and may perhaps prov** lo ha' been even more. Col. Pickej states to us that he bas no dou ft was the work bf an incendiar He bas grounds for the belie and it would be well for everyoi to keep on the look out again a like misfortune. It is hoped th perpetrator may yet be expos? and punished as be deserves. By reading between the Hues i the foregoing, those of the preset day and generation eau draw mental picture of the conditio) that obtained on the large Soutl ern, -ante-bellum farms. Fifi years ago, instead of growing co ton, the farmers cultivated tl cereals chiefly, and devoted muc time to stock raising.''

On last Friday at our regul? monthly meeting, we htld a m< morral senicj to our lamente missionary and co-worker, Mit Juue Nicholson, whose immorta soul took it flight to the God wh gave it Feb. 11th, 1907. Miss Lo Gary presided. She opened th service with a song, "Nearer m God to thee." Then read Rev. 7 7-9. We then sung the beautifu hymn, "Safe in the arms of Jesufe. After the soDg she read Prov. 31 31, paying a loving tribute t< June. Miss Eliza McCullough fol lowed with a sweet and touchin tribute. Another song, "Saviou more than life to me," after whicl a poem was read by Mrs. Marvii Auld. The sweetest feature of I h . service was a poem, "A voice fron Heaven," read with BO much pa thoe by Miss Eliza McCullough that one felt as if the spirit of ou dear June was in our midst. A beautiful and touching praye was made, then the service closet with the song "Bleet be the til that binds our hearts in Cbristiar love," On the table he*ween twe vases of white flowers, w?s pic ture of June Nicholson, drapec with asparagus fern tied with t large bow of white satin ribbon which was an inspiration to those present to consecrate anew theil hearts lo the work she loved. Sorrows and bereavements se'im to crowd upon our Missionary Society, and again with sadness in our hearts, we offer sympathy, born of fellowship and love. The following resolutions were read and adopted: Whereas, God has called to come up higher, our beloved mis sionary and co-worker Miss June Nicholson, now be it resolved: 1st That WH hereby express our high appreciation of her efficient service io the work she loved. We thank God for ber noble example of zeal, patience and faith, and ber loving service. 2nd. That by more earnest de votion to duty, we will strive to imitate hur grand example. 3rd. That we will chenab her memory of loving deeds and-more earnestly labor to advauce the cause the 'oved. 4th. That we extend <o .he be reaved mother, our heartfelt sym pathy.

George E Prince, of Andereon, as presiding judge. Solici'or Timmermau, ste nographer MacFeat, Clerk of Court Cogbuui and Sheriff W. G. Ouzts were promptly at their respective places. After the court was organized, Judge Prince delivered ene of the ablest charges to the grand jury that bas evfr been hearl in Edgefield's Temple of Justice. Mauy indictments were bande? the grand jury by the Solicitor. The following true bille werf found: jpsse Robertson, murder; Stephen Lundy, murder; A. R. Coles, murder; West and the Hainmondc, assault and battery with intent to kill ; Jobn Oliphant, violating the dispensary law; I. Pmg<-r. adultery; Alex And-vson, disposing of propprty under li- t.] Jobu R. Bryant, murder.

Mathis and w.?re s^n'encpd to 2 years fach on the county chaingtirg. Charles G'-million was n*xt tried for killing yo ing Mr D->rn in tba town of Johnston Beveral months at?o. The result was an ac quital, the defpidant being rep resented by S. M. Smith, Etq., and the State by the Solicitor. At the hour we close our forms on Tuesday afternoon the court is engaged with the trial of A. R. Coles for killing Goode Gomillion in Johnston last June. Coles Wa? tried in October last for tb is offense but a mistrial was order ed. The State ia represented by Solicitor Timmermau and S. McG. Simkins, Esq . and the defendant* by J. Wm. Thurmond, Esq., and N. G. Evans, Esq. The grand jury will complete its work and make its presentment on Wndueeday, but it is probable that the entire w^ek -will ba cou eum'din clearing the criminal docket. COLD SPRING. It is not uucommon to hear men express the conviction that just so men are sincere iu what they believe it matters ht.le what they believe. This bas been a great snare to many w.bile it bac appeared to put honor upon sin cerity, a most worthy '.rait and one . always dilligeutly lo be sought, it has.in reality dishonor ed sincerity by trying to useitas a cloak for the greatest evil; .Possibly one of the greatest needs of our churches tooday.is a closer fellowship or walk with God. ?The- Bible tells us that Enoch.walked with God audit pleased God. John wrote: "He that saith he abideth in . him, ought also to walk eve?' as he walked." It is possible formen to walk together' without fellow ship. But when Enoch walked with God, it was as friend with friend. They enjoyed each other'B society. For one to walk with God it is to feel his p-esence. This presence of God is by faith. One can feel that God is near, though we can't see him only by faith. Tht n when one walka with God, th?re must be peace with him. "How can two walk together except that they be agreed?" If we are at peace with God there we must be like-minded with God. Have you made a contribution this year to Homo and Foreign missions? If you have n Dt will you make it now.
