Dr. Talmage, who is still absent on his round u the world tour, has selected as the sub- fr ject of today'3 sermon through the press 0 "Hadas^ah," the text chosen being Es- f? ther ii. 7, "And he brought up Hadas- 3| sah." 31 A beautiful child was born iu the cap- q ital of Persia. She was an orphan and a ti captive, her parents having been stolen C) from their l3raehtish home and carried to Shushan and died, leaving their daugh- g1 ter poor and in a strange land. But an -n Isrealite who had been carried into the ^ same captivity was attracted by the 0, case of the orphan. He educated her id a his holy religion, and under the roof of w that good man this adopted child began t] to develop a sweetness and excellency n of character, if ever equalled, certainly 0 never surpassed. Beautiful Hadassah! u 1 1 *? *- ? Aray enorA hpf U0Q1Q lU&b UUUpiCU lA'rfUOi ciok o^uww uvk -? from his household? Eer artlessness, ^ her girlish sports, her innocence, her orphanage, had wound themselves thor- C1 oughly around his heart, ju3t as around w each parent's heart among us there aie $ tendrils climbing and fastening and bios- ^ somjng and growing stronger. 1 expect he was like others who have loved ones fe at home?wonderiDg sometimes if sick- 8, ness will come and death and bereave- ^ ment. Alas, worse than anything the g father expects happens to his adopted p child! Ahasuerus, a princely scoundrel, 8, demands that Hadassah, the fairest one y in all the kingdom, become his wife. Worse than death was marriage to such ^ a monster of iniquity. How great the a change when this young woman left the a home where God was worshipped and ^ religion honored to enter a palace de- K voted to pride, idolatry and sensuality! q 11 As a lamb to the slaughter!" (j Ahasuerus knew not that his wife was a, a Jewess. At the instigation of the in- S]famous prime minister the king decreed that all the Jews in the land should be a slain. Hadassah plead3 the cause ot ^ her people, breaking through the rules I. r '* ' it f in oi mo court auu picocuuu^ u?iav? .? a, the very face ot death, cry ins:, '*If I per- y\ ish, I perish!'* Ob, it was a sad time ei among that enslaved people! They had jj, all heard the decree concerning their e, death. Sorrow, gaunt and gha3tlv, sat ^ in thousands of households, and mothers C? wildly pressed their infants to their ^ % breasts as the days of massacre hastened ai on, praying that the same s vord stroke p( whicn slew the mother might also slay ,3, the child, rosebud and bud perishing in ^ the same blast. 10 But Hadassah Is busy at court. The bard heart of the kiDg is touched by her re story, and although he could not reveree p( his decree for the slaying of the Jews he re sent forth an order that they should arm u< themselves for defense. Oa horseback, nj on mules, on dromedaries, messengers m sped through the land bearing the king's w dispatches, and a shout of joy went up 8j, from that enslaved people at the faint c hope of success, I doubt not many a jt' rusty blade was taken down sDd sharp- pi ened. Unbearded youths grew 3tout as T^ giants at the thought of defending moth- ftr ers and sisters. Despsration strung up cowards into heroes, and fragile women, j. grasping their weapons, swung them ^ about the cradles, impatient for the <,a time to strike tne blow In behalf of of household and country. ?e The day of execution dawned. Got- tic eminent officials, armed and drilled, th cowed before the battle shout of the op- ^ pressed people. The cry ot defeat rang he back to the palaces, but above the moun w; tains of dead, above 75,000 crushed and ge mangled corpses, sounded the triumph m of the delivered Jews, and their enthusi- }y asm was as when the highlander3 came Ck to the relief of Lucknow, and Lhe Eng- tir lish army, which stood m the very jaws jq of death, at the sudden hope of assistance and rescue lifted the shout absve m belching cannon and the death groaa of tic hosts, cryiDg, '*We are saved! We are ^ saved!" Me Hnhi^r.t. nffnrdft me OnnorlunitV of oo f ? " / * A -I CO illustrating what Chr.stian character ec may be under the greatest disadvantages. 0f There is no Christian now exactly what <]<? he wants to be. Your standard is much fe] bbher than anything you have attained unwo. If there be any man so puffed up +r? as to be thoroughly satisfied with the <r0 amount of excellency he has already at- on tained, I have nothing to say to such a c0, one. But to those who are dissatisfied with past attainments, who are toiling <31? under disadvantages which are keeping ^a them from teing what they ought to be, ?[? I have a message from God. "Y ou each ti? of you labor under difficulties. There is mj sometaing in your temperarneni, m your ya calliDg, that acta powerfully against you. be Admitting all this, I introduce you to hu . Hadassah of the text, a noble Christian, thi notwithstanding the mosc gigantic dtCi- Cb r culties. She whom you might have i8 expected to be one of the worst of wo- we men, one of the be3t. thi In the first place, our subject is an illustration of what Christian charscrer gjc ^ may be under orphanage. This Bible en line" tells a long story about Hadassah. "She had neither father nor mother." ad A nobleman had become her guardian, fcp bat there is no one who can take the en place of a parent. Who so able at bli nignt to hear a cbild'3 prayer or at t?o twilight to chide youthful wanderings or ba to soothe youthlnl sorrows? An indi- be vidual will go through life bearing the to marks of orphanage. It will require cm more strength, more persistence, more wi grace, to make such a one the right kind m( ct a Christian. He who at 40 years dr< loses a parent must reel under the blow. Gt Even down to old age men are accus- de tomea to relv upon the counsel or be So powerfully influenced by the advice of ed parents if they are still alive, bo Bat how much greater the bereavement sis when it cones iD early life before the on character is self reliant and when naturally the heart is unsophisticated rec and easily tempted! co: And yet behold what a nobility ct dis- to position Hadassah exhibited. Though ter father and mother had gone, grace had on triumped over ail disadvantages. Her th< willingness to self sacrifice, her control to over the king, her humility, her faithful cal worship of God, show her to have been chi one of the best of the world's Chris- the tians. ter There are those who did not enjoy upi remarkable early privileges. Perhaps, hoi like the beautiful capttve of the text, da: you were an orphan. You had huge ep? sorrows in your little heart. Y cu ad1 sometimes wept in the night when you coi knew not what was the matter. You up< felt sad sometimes even on the play- as ground. Your father or mother did not Jti stand in the door to welcome you when Xii you came home from a long journey. At ';U 3til! fid the edec. of early disar.'van ti iges, aud ycu' ave sometimes offered t! lem a? a reason lor your not b dug as b lorcujh'y rj'rigiou* as vcu wouM like g > be.

The captivity and crushed t: 3cdIt:on of this orphan ghl anc of the p ind man who adcp'.cd her suggest a p cnditicn of p Dverty. Yet from the very b rst acquaintance we had with Hada3sah c e find ner the same happy and connoted Christian. I; was only by com- r uision 3be was af.erwsrd taken into a ] phere c f honor and tfflieme. lathe -v amble home of Mordeca5, her ad pted ? itfcer, she vra3 a light that illumined y very privation. Xa jv?riou iu ?i* ^ lost every man's lite there c:rms a a sason ot straitened circumstances, when t, :e severest calculation and rno3t scrap- a :g economy are necessary in order to c [insistence and respectability. v At the commencement of business, at c ie entrance upon a profession, when r lends are few and the world is afraid t 1 you bec-.u?e there is a possio'iity cf v ulure, many of the noblest hearts have a Lruggled against poverty and are now [niggling. Tj such I bear a message v t good cheer. You say it 13 a hard t ling for ycu tobca Christian. This t DU3tant at x'ely, this unresiicg calcu'.a- 9 on, wear out the buoyancy ot your j, pint, and, although ycu have told per- u ap3 no ?ne about it, cannot I tell that ^ lis is the very trouble which keeps, you j light to be? Ycu have no time to think c bout laying up treasures in heaven s 'hen i is a matter of great doubt whe- ^ ler you will be enabled to pay your $ est quarter's rent. You cannot think v f striving after a robe of righteousness f( ntil you can get means enough to buy a n overcoat to keep out the cold. You a 'ant the bread of l.fo, but you think you a iust get aloDg without that until ycu g an buy another barrel of flour for your D ife and children. Sometimes ycu sit D own discouraged and almost wish you s ere dead. t Christians in satin slippers, with their b iet cn damask ottoman, may scout at j, ach a class of temptations, but those ^ rho themselves tave fcesn in the strug- ^ le and grip of bard misfortune can ap- t reciate the power cf these evils to dis- ^ aade me scui avray rei'.gicus duties. ? ye admit the strength of the lempta- ^ on, but then we point to Hada33ah, ^ er poverty equaled by her piety. Course, down there in the battle! Hurl e way ycur disappointment. Men of n alfycur heart have through Christ beeD p lore than conquerors. Inthenaneof p -od, come out of tha'! The religion of w 'hrist is ju3t what you want out there p mong the empty flour barrels and bede the clod hearths. a Ycu have never told any one of what a hard time you have had, but God ri nows it a3 well as you know it. Your -n isy times will come after awhile. Ho a ot let your spirits break down midlife. ^ rhat if jour coat is thin! Run fast 3 aough to keep warm. What it you g ave no luxuries on your tablt? High g spectations will make your blood tingle 0 stter than the be3t Madeira. I? you s, mnot afford to smoke, you can afford ^ ? whistle. But merely animal spirits :e not sufficient; the power of the gos* ^ il?that is what you want to wrench n jspair out ot the scul and put you for- s, ard into the front cf the ho3ts incased ^ . impenetrable armor. L[ Again, our subject illustrates what ^ iligion may be uod^r the temptation of ?rannal attractiveness a. Toe m3mred cord says of the heroine of my text, She wa3 fair and beautiful." Her very ime signified "a myrtle." Yet the ad- B iration ana praise and flattery of the orld did not blight her humility. The mplicity of her manners and behavior [uakd her extraordinary attractions. S is the same divine goodness which ^ its the tinge on the rose?s cheek, and c whiteness into the lily, and the gleam c' i the wave, and that puts color in the C( icek, and sparkle in the eye, and ma- B sty in the forehead, and symmetry l to the form, and gracefulness into the . ,it. Bat many through the very charm their personal appearance have been stroyed. V7hat siraperings and ifleets- ui ms and impertinences have often been o1 e result of that which God sent as a cc essiog! .Japon:ca3, anemones and pi liotropss never swagger at the beauty Dich God planted in their very leaf, pal, axil and siamen, There are C; any fbwers that bow down so modest ycu cannot see tne color in their eek until you lift up their bead, put ig your hand under their round chin, deed any kind of personal attractions, aether they be those of the body, the ind or the heart, may become tempta- c>n3 to pride and arbitrariness and f*ol1 assumption. ai The mythological story of a man who, cc eing himself in a stream, becama so amored of his appearance that he died pj the effects illustrates the fatalities ua- Cf r which thousands cf both sexes have .len by the view of their own supencri. Extraordinary capacities cause ex- c, lordinary temptations. Men who have od moral health down in the valley, the top of the mountain are seized of usumption. Monimia, the wife of cc ithridates, was strangled with he: own idem. While the moat ot us will not ye the same kind of temptation which cc idassah mu3t have felt from her attrac ene3S of personal appearance, there ly be some to whom it will be an ad- cc ntage to hold up the character ot the autitul captive who sacrificed not her ai! mility and earnestness ot dispoiton to cc 3 world's admiration and flatter. The ief sceret of the beauty of the violet that away down in the grass from one cc :ek's end to another it never mistrusts at it i3 a violet. av Again, our subject exhibits what reli- cc >n may be under bad domestic inflaces. Hadassahwa3 snatched from the a\ dly home into winch she had been c0 opted and introduced !a the abomma3 associations of which wicked Ahasu13 was the center. What a whirl of co asphemy and drunkenness and licenU3ness! No altar, no prayer, no Sab- at th, no Gcd! If this captive girl can co a Christian there, then it is "possible be a Christian anywhere. There are av my of the best people of the world c0 :o are obliged to contend with tbe >st adverse domestic influences, chilsg who have grown up into the love of xiuader the frown of parents and un- av r the discouragement ol bad example. co me sister of the family having profess the faith of Jesus is the subject ol un- ? unded satire iali cted by brother ahd CQ ters. Yea, Hada^sah was not the lv Cbritian who had a queer hu3bana. It is no easy matter to maintain cor* a' it Christian principles when there 13 a u mpaniea disposed to scoff at theci and ascribe every imperfection of charac- av to hypocrisy. What a hard thins: for c0 e member o: the family to rightly keep ; Sabbath when others are disposed ^ make it a . 'ay of revelry, or to incul- or :epropriety of speech in the minds ot ldren when there are others to offset av ; instructions byioose and profane ut- co ances, or to be regularly in attendance on church when there 13 no more a2 usehold work demanded for the Lord's co y than for any secular day. Do I ?ak to any laboring under these dis- a? vantages? Mv subject is full of en- or< iragement. Vast responsibilities rest on ycu. Be faithful, though you- stand av much alone as did Lot in Sodom, or co! emiah in Jerusalem, or Jonah ia neveh, or Hadassah in the court of ag* lasuers. There are trees which grow ore ie best when their roots clutch anion? oe ia??ed rocks, and you verily have ut poor soil in which to develop, but 1 race is a thorcuzh husbandman aad can 1 use a crop anywhere. Glassware is J loldcd ever the fie. and in the same 1 ray you are to be fitted as a vessel of j sercv. The best timber mn3t have on , ,sa7 and sruze and beetle. The foun- 1 ation stone of yours and every other , ouse came cut only under crowbar and | 'last. F.les and wreQChe3 and ham- ; uers belong to the church. The Chris- ] ian vctory will be br'ght ju-.t in pro- . lortion as the battle is hot. Never des i air being a thorough Christian in any < ou3ehold which is not woise than the . curt of Ahasuerua. Finaliy our subject illustrates what : ehg'on may be in high worldly position, ! ?be!ast we see in the Bible of Hadassah ?that she has become the queen of , 'ersia. Prepare now to see the deparure of her humility and self sacrifice and ; elig!ou3 principle. As she goes up you < aay expect grace to go down. It is easier o be bumble in the obscure house ot her 1 dopted father than on a thorne of doamion. But 50U misjudge this noble ?oman. What she wa3 before she is , low?he myrtle. Applauded for her , eauty and her crown, she forget3 not he cau3e of her sufi'eriug people, and pith all simplicity of heart still remains , worshiper of the God of heaven. 1 Noble example, followed only by a *ry few. I address soma who, through ; he goodness of God, have risen to posiion3 of influence in the community 1 rhere you live. In lav, in merchandise, a medicine, in mrchanic3 and in other 1 iseful occupations ana professions you 1 ^ r - J I ~ ^ io;u an iaii'J3Dce ior gouu ur iur cvu. i j'5t us see wbether, like Hadassah, you | an stand elevaton. Have yoa *3 much i m pi icily of character a3 once you e.vieuced? Do you feel as much depea- , ecce upon God, as much your own reakoess, as much you: accountability ortaleats intrusted? Or are you proud i nd overdemandiug and ungrateful and nsyrapathetic and worldly and sensual nd devilish? Then you have been 1 poilcd by your success, and you shall iot sit on this throne with the heroine of ay text. Ia the day when Hadassah hall come to the grander coronation in j ho presence of Christ and the bannered ' iost8 of the redeemed you will be poor ideed. Oh, there are thousands of , acn who can easily endure to be knocked own of m'sfortune, who are utterly desroved if lifted up of success. Satan akes them to the top of the pinnacle of : he temple and shoves them off. Their ead begins to whirl, and they lose their alaoce, and down they go. While last autumn all throughthe forsts there were luxuriant trees with i aoderate outbranch and moderate height retendmg but little, the.-e were foliage lants that shot far up, looking down j rith contempt on the whole forest, clap- : rag their hands in the breezi and shout- : :g, "Aha, do you not wish you were ; s high up as we are?" Bat last week j blast let loose from the north came ashing along, and grappling the boast- J ig oaks hurled tnem to to the ground, 1 nd as they went down an old tree that ( ad been singing pslams with the thun- , or a hnnd?<1 an m mora nnt Vi M UUUUiWU UMUtUaVlU Vfc*WVt VM Jfc. k j oeth before destruction and a haughty , pirit before a fall." And humble hiekry and pine and chestnut that had never j aid their prayers before bowed their ; eads a3 much as to say, "Amen." My fr;end3, uGod resisteththe proud, i ut giveth grace to humble."

The election over in Georgia last week wa3 not as decisive a D imocratic victory as we hid hoped tor. The Populists m ide decided gains all over ;he ."State, and we fear tent they will capture two of the Congressional districts, which the Democracy can ill afford to lose at this time. We have 3een several reisons assigned for the result of the election, but the nearest to the true reason for the heavy Populist gains we thiuk are those advanced by the Spartanburg Herald. The Herald thinks that one of the main causes that led to such a material re iuction of the usual Democratic majority is to be found in Democratic apathy, which caused many Democrats to stay away from the oolls. "There has," says the Herald, "been a sharp Sght made for and against the administration of Mr. Cleveland in Georgia and this has had the effect of driving many into the Populists' ranks. There Is an element in Georgia that persistAM ? 1 M 1AM f nAA r> wn 1 n f K A euuy XCIU5C3 liU BCC any JtUUU XU UlC national administration. Envy, jealousy and disappointment are at tbe bottom of this but it has had its weight no doubt. Then again, there are those who not only insist oa lighting anything that appears to be a criticism of the administration, but in contending for Mr. Cleveland's financial views have misrepresented the Democratic party, and this we believe to be responsible very largely for Populist gains in Georgia. If these people persist in the attempt to make it appear that the Democratic party is pledged to the 3ingla gold standard, with its attendant tram of evils, paralyzing trade, grinding the poor, oppressing the weak, making the rich richer and the poor, poorer, we may expect as many of the honest farmers, mechanics aad producers of Georgia as are tQU3 misled to seek the Populist party for relief. If we believed the Democratic party stood for the John Sherman, Eastern gold bug policy, we would j >in the Populists or some party that did rep u diate these views. Tne Democratic party is not the party of contraction and centralization. It opposes the concentration of power in the hands of me lew, iii cans 10 me prowjuuim ui tue masses and the enactment of such measures as will bring the greatest good to the greatest number." These are stroDg words, but they are as true as preacning. The people are deter mined to have relief from the oppression of the money kings. They would like that relief to be obtained through the Democratic party, but if that party fails to give It to them they will seek It through some other party. ifome States Statistic . The population of South Carolina as reported bv the last census is 1,151,149, the 23rd in population of the States of the Union. From 1830 to 1890. the increase of population was 15.63 per cent., while that of the two States which hem us in, Georgia was 19.14 per cent, and North Carolina 15.59 per cent. Florida has outstripped any of her Southern sisters ia a gain of 45.24 per cent, ia the decade. The greater percentage of gain is that of Washington, 355.13 per cent. There are only two towns in this State of more than 8,000.inhabitants, Charles ton (54,955), and Columbia (15.353 ) The male inhabitants of the State number 572,337, and females 578,812. Of the weaker sex there are 6,475 more. The native born are 1,144,879, and the foreign born are 6,270. Tnere are 226,926 more negroes than whites. The proportion has been greatly decreased in favor of the whites for the past 20 years. We have in our population only 34 Chinese, no Japauese and 173 civilized Indians, all of whom are counted in as colored DODulation. There are males unmarried, 378,798, and females, 852,076.

Oar State has no divorce law, yet there ere divorced men numbering 210, and women 483. The illiteracy of our eutire population over 10 years old is 45 per cent., which is equalled by only one state, that of Louisiana, which Is 45 8. Our white population are only illiterate to the extent of 17.9, while our colored population has 64 per cent, of illiteracy. Illiteracy among our native whites 13 18.1 per cent., while that of the foreign is only 6.3 per cent. The total number of occupied dwellingsin the State are 217,195. The average ilza of families is 5 30 persons. In 1850 the number of farms in the State was 29,967, and in 1890 the number lad increased to 115.008, showing that the large farms have been divided up ind there are more people fixed and nterested than while the laud was leld by a fewer number. The average $ize of farms is 127 acres. Th8 unimproved lands amount to 60.1 per ceat. more than half of the whole land. The lumbet of farmers who cultivate their )wn farms is 51,428.

The News and Courier says the At- a? lanjic Coast Line Railroad has bought tb the Charleston, Sumter and Northern ti Itailroad. When the ne ws first reached ci Charleston of the sale the editor of The ge News and Courier seat a dispatch to m Mr. II. Walters, president of the Atlau- u? tic Coast Line system, telling him of the c? rumor current there, and asking him he what the purchase of the Charleston, re Sumter and Northern meant for that bl city. The following dispatch, confirm- hi ing the news that has already been al given in The News and Courier, has in been received from Mr. Walters at er Petersburg: "The Charleston, Sumter pi and Northern Railroad Company is an se insolvent company which ha3 never ft? earned its operating expenses. Uar friends have purchased som* of its securities. If it passes into our control D< | we will endeavor to make It possible w< to maintain it as a railroad and every lo< J interest that Charleston can have in the in business along its line will be safer th thaa when at the mercy of an insolvent ch company." While Mr. Walters doe3 da not commit himself to the positive th statement that the Atlantic Coast Line be will operate the Charleston, Sumter and lo< Northern, no one who has read thedis- w< natr.h will dnnht that, sne.h will he the in case. It is highly improbable that the t>u Atlantic Coast Line would have ac- tai quired any other than a controlling wi interest in an insolvent company, and bu it may be taken as a. fact that it is th; hereafter to operate the Charleston, th< Sumter and Northern Koad. an ?????wmmmmmmmamm B3????

A steamship, appirently in distress, ras sighted sood after daylight at nchor some distance off Lsng Branch. Vntle the sea was running so high no iljrt was made to estalish communica;on between the steamship and the hore. At 10 a. m the wind shifted and ae storm somewhat abated. The steamhip does not seem to be in any imlediate danger. In Seabngnt and vicinity a number f buildings were unroofed. AtLiug sland City the big iron tank belongig to the East River Gas Company ra3 blown down to within live feet of 3 foundation. The tank was 200 feet igh and 185 wide.

'ocflti.bles Attempt a Seaich Bat are Arrested by the Folic. Greenville, Oct. 8.?Much exciteient was caused here today by the atsrapt of State constables to raid the rivate premises of Sol. Eiel, who kept ar at the Hanson House, where he had een pulled half a dozeu times. Hie esidence Is five or six blocks from the ar and is a very handsome cottage /ith vines and fiowers about the piazz* nd in the front yard. It was the jene of a very exciting situation, which aro *ly missed culminating in a bloody LOt. Constables this morning seized a runk being hauled from Edel's resience to the Hanson House and found , full of export beer. They were inirmed by the driver that there was ther liquors at Eiel's house. They oblined a warrant to search, but the heriff refused to execute it The con:ables then went to hi3 house. Eiel ad heard cf the affair and had gone c-me, sendiDg the negro ahead of him 'ith a double-barreled shotgun. A rowd had gathered in front of the ouse when the constables reached lere. The chief of police fearing troule, concentrated the whole force on le scene. Edel from his piazza anounced that he would blow out the rains of the first man who tried to en?r. People who by this time had filled le streets cheered him wildly. On going bacfc into the house Eiel >und his wife, who is neariDg contine tent, in a faint and got the idea she as dyiHg. Some of Ms friends had id his gun and he rushed from his ouse empty-handed, but apparently alf filled with rage. He struggled desgrately with some of his friends who ere on the piazza ana who seized him. onstable Eicheloeiger, who was on the utside of the fence waiting tor Consta!e WorkmaD, who had gone to have 2 error in the warrant corrected, supDsed Edel wa3 coming with his gun id drew his pistol. The crowd imlediately closed In on him and many ten were prepared to shoot the coDstale if he made a move. The police ithered about him, however, and the lief put him under arrest charged with rawing a pistol on a citizen. This aeon prevented trouble. When the jople saw the constables in charge of le police they dispersed. Eichelberger ive $50 bail for his appearance In the .'ayor's Court to-morrow. The Sheriff fered to make search if allowed to go ?Edel's alone, but the constables insist1 fhatnnfl nf them should accomDanv :m aad he refused to consent, claiming tat he needed no help, and that the esence of the constable would cause riot unnecessarily. The Mayor also iclined to give the constables police isistance. The constables reported to te Governor and are awaiting instrucons. There is a goof deal of suppressed extement. Some people say that the arch of Edel's house should be subltted to on the ground that ne was ting it as a storage place for liqaors i be sold at his bar. A great majority tntend that all searches of private wses of respectable people should be sis ted to the iast extremity. Constae Workman seems to think he could tve made the search it he had been lowed to go alone and quietly as he tended and that Constable Elchelberg's going to the house spoiled Ins ans. The determination to resist arches of residences by constables ems to be very general.?Register.

I endeavored then to state to you fully mv action relative to the enforcement ot the law at this pi to3, to wit: That we had al ways furnished the constables with all the aid desired by them for their protection and assistance in the performance of their duties here; and that the County Hoard of Control, who had K^pt a sharp watch over my conduct, had stated to you by letter that we3houid receive our prciits as they had male thorough investigation of the matter and were sat- r. istied that the city authorities had done ' what they could to suppress th^ illicit trallie of liquors in this city. You no doubt remember stating to me ou that occasion that you would order our profits turned over to us and desired our co-operation in the enforcement of the law. The next day the above decision was tiled and since then everything has been takiQ? its own course * here and elsewhere, aad nothing rurther has passed between us concerning the profits and the enforcement of the law. Since this law has now received a the sanction of the highest court in the " State it will be necessary for all citizens to bow to it. To enforce it will be a : difficult task to these who have it la 2 charge and It will take no doubt tbe combined efforts cf the State, county tc and city authorities to give the law the ? effect aimed at, to wit: Absolutely con- ? lining the sale of whiskey to the Dispensaiies, but with the co-ops rati oa of fhoaa it- r?r?pnr<a fn mp f.h at", if. mil/ht h?? enforced without friction and without much expense. My reason for saying , this is as follows: Numbers of the f best people ia this city are in sympathy ^ with the law and will assist 'ia its enforcement it' properly treated and will n, aid in the conviction of the parties who g violate it. 1 am quite satisfied that if the State Board of Control will turn * over to us the profits now due us, which J we are justly entitled to, aid we get ? our portion of the prulits hereafter * made, the illicit traflic ia whiskey ia the city of Florence cin be suppressed *( with the aid of one State Constable. The reason is thai when our best citizens Had that they will be benefited and their taxes lessened by the prod s de- _ rived from this source they will neartily join in with the city authorities and see that this law Is properly carried out and by that meaos we will all be benelked.
