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.'

'tc., senate paused looay, m uiu miusi
ster ()f :l whirlwind of war talk, to pay
vote tribute to the memory of the late
Senator Karle, of South Carolina.
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. It is
I,(>y seldom that tlie senate has listened
to a move beautiful and titling
testimonial to a departed senator in
k>b* tliiiu that which the junior bona ^
1 ''s> lor from South (Carolina paid to
- Judge Kurlo Senator McLauriu's
nit, personal and political friendship
his. fur the dead senator enabled him

h sounded the keynote for nearly
l:s-'- a'l the remarks that followed.

11<>1 Spooner, of Wisconsin; Chilton,
yet of l'exus; Cannon, of I'tah; Ken- < !
of

of ILouisiana, addressed the senate '
toi*. in the order named. ^ *

I v|e ceedings with a >lain, straightfor- '
I k in word story of tho political career
of Judge Karle. Senator Tillman '< t

nee '^parted somewhat from the usual
icld e'tlogi?trc course and directed his *()1
remarks almost exclusively to the NK
political history surrounding *1CI
# | Judge Karle'b life in the Palmetto ,in'
-tale. 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<
