THE LEI^7 Tnurlow } Cartel E A ' .IANAOER. Wednesday, A run. <>, 1s{)s. The convention of dcinocratii prohibitionists which met at this placo Monday was a represents tive body of professing christiai men; men, who realize that the responsibility for the traffic in whiskey rests upon the church? its members; God-fearing men who would wash their bands of the responsibility by casting thoir ballots and their influenco against the legalizing of a traffic which has been the devil's greatest agency in destroying men's souls. Church members should be the avowed enemies of the traffic. It is right that they should be in ii.- e * 1. 4l.? c.,1.4 lliu 11 uii t 1 <111 iv ill iihj iiuni iui prohibition. It is expected of them, and if the banner of prohibition should be furled in de feat at the approaching election it will be because church-members know their duty and did it not. Where, and how do some minors in this community get whiskey! The services of a detective may be secured soon to try his hand in ascertaining these facts. We do not believe they could get it if we had prohibition. God pities the poor drunkard. The church member who votes against prohibition is the beloved of the devil. Six blind tigers were convicted in the court at Greenwood la t week. Their lines aggregated $1,200 but boing unable to pu\ they will serve on the chain gum: of that county for the next six months. This is a first rate good roads movement for Greenwood. The small pox is still spreading in the State. Several vases have been reported in Columbia the past few days. The city council took steps at once to have the patients moved to a pest house several miles from the city. ? President Wilborn of the State Alliance issues an excellent address to the sub and county alliances of the Stato in the last issue of The cotton Plant. For want of space we cannot publish it. Every farmer should read it. If we go into a war with Spain, ays the Abbeville Press and Banner, 'it might bo well enough for the United States government to draft her pensioners for the first campaign. They being already in the pay of the government, their prosence would add very littlo to the expense. If they should bo killed wo could spare them with less loss than we could the death of younger men. Lot the Span iards try their hands on the pensioners first. If the Spaniards kill the pensioners of the United States government, then she could end better soldiers from her reserve force.' HOW'S i HIS!

Considering the short term of ,,rr service in the senate he was greatly beloved hy his associates, and '* ** the eulogies passed upon him to- e| day by leading senators were of ^,e an unusually high order, our Senati r.McLaurin, the successor ^ of .Judge Ivirk', was appropriately Hre chosen to open the debate.

Senator Tillman prepared ' r' his hearers for his rather extra- co' ' ordinary procedure by stating, in his opening sentences, that he was not personally friendly to the dead senator, as they had been m political antagonists in stutc pollj tics. He then proceeded to roview the political history of South l>r Carolinu, with a dash hero and rc< there of some of his characteristic rei ^2^ tartness of expression, which jar sn iflfal ,e<' upon the solemnity of the 1^e ceremonies, lie said he would * in , , >ins. l*? cer.su rot I for such a radical do- 11)1 sin- pic ture from-the beaten track on P'1 5*?" *uch occasions; hut ho wanted to 'ftI the , . 1 ' or- do full justice to the memory of :in UU*t Jodge Earle, to demonstrate that ' * the |,e WUh tl faithful and devoted then , ire. public servant.
