W?"TWFSnAY AU?IL '3, 1R38 ? ? ii "COH Z BO'i'u iwuc?i Uud^r the caption of "Home to Roost," the Columbia Evening Record of 'last Friday, contained a well wiit ten aod timely article upon independentism in the recent municipal tbc tion in "Ward 5 of that city, from which we take the following txtract: "Independentism is always wrong, but if there is any place io South Cirolina where there is a shadow of excuse for independentism, it is Columbia, where independentism simply doses some people with their own medicine. Considering the promi Dence of men who have preached and indenendentism in Colum bia, is it any woDder that their ex ;m pie has been followed in Ward 5? The joke of the tbiDg is that the most vigorous condemnation of Waid 5 independentsoi comes from men who supported Judge Haskell in 1890 or voted for Pope and Melton in 1894 Their chickens have come home, and they wish they had stayed away/' What the Record has said is well ! said, and additional force and empha sis are given to the charges, because they are, unfortunately, too true. In the latter part of the eighties the unsightly head of independentism was lirsfc seen in Ward 4 of Columbia,and apparently by the decree of fate, some of the men who then stood godfathers for the bastard infant are among those who are now so loudly condemning the success of their adopted child in Ward 5. We were convinced that the very promiinence of the men who led or countenanced independentism in 1890, itaff # breathed upon it a spirit of respectability that made it all the more dangerous to our body politic and increased its chance to tear down part}' lines, which, in the South more so in tho flnlr Rufp. luau 1U IUC 0.1V1UU, luv V'J I guard of our Aoglo Saxqn institu j tions and enlarge its possibilities of daDger to the purity of our government. Man, it is said, learns wisdom in the school of expeiience, and if this be true, then the lesson of Ward "5 will have an influence for good in the ? elections of the future. Good men, no matter how honest and sin cere they may be, or under what provocation, whether real or imag inary, who encourages evil in any form, either by their presence or by their influence, sets an example for harm, to be imitated ard enlarged upon by irresponsible persons who are unworthy of public conndenctand trust. It is true that parties, like individuals, oftentimes make mistakes, but the^e mistakes can always be corrected within the party organization, without resorting to disreputable methods or drastic meas ures. In the future let the motto of the South Carolina Democracy be: "Our Party, may she always be right: p&t but, right or wroDg, our party." - ' ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION. We are by taste and inclination an ardent and uncompromising Profci bitionist. Iu this respect if were we clothed with the power of Omnipotence we would destroy every drop of the accursed stuff which has dene much to turn this, the footstool of God, into the abiding place cf the devil and his minions, and the beauty of this life would nevermore be marred, nor its peace invaded by the i baneful presence of this giant mon- j ster whose breath withers the good, j the pure and the noble in this life, j and whose sting is moral, physical and spiritual death. But not having I that power and realizing that we are j but an atom in the great system of j human families we are unable to have our wishes gratified and our desires fulfilled, we must, therefore, faithfp.llv nn.d ennseientifiuslv use all the ! weapons at our command to arrest ; the progress and uncrown and slay j this inighty king whose rule is ruin j and whose sway i3 death. In the first place we want absolute j prohibition. Prohibition that will 1 prohibit the traffic in intoxication j liquors, first, last and all the time, j ? If whisky is an evil, then its very presence in a community is dangerous, and as long as it is permitted to remain in that community, no matter under what pretext, it is an acutetemp', ation to those who have ac- j quired or inherits a taste for it. i as well as those whose taste has j not been vitiated by the fumes of it. i We want no compromise, no half way I measure, whereby its sale will be lawfully pemitted in every hell hole and low dive in the State under the flimsy excuse of being sold for j medicinal, or scientiflc, or mechanical ! purposes. Having chosen the ban- | ner of prohibition as our standard j under whose spotless fold we will wage the warfare, let us rally to its support and stand manfully to our col ors until the last vistage of the enemy of our God, our country, our homes ' and firesides, cur children and ourselves shall have been wiped from j the face of the earth. Success may not crown our eflbits today, nor tomorrow, nor in a year, nor yet in a H ife, but as sure as a just God, wLo ?annot look upon siu with any de ^ree tf allowance, holds the detiuie f the nations in his hands; so sure as ri^ht shall prevail over wn n-j so sure will the God blessed and God favored principles cf absolute prohibition of the traffic in iutoxicat iog liquors will prev. il. To this end 1 * of lir> iHl us ^11 ?um, UI'.UUI calamity to our cause and gaining hope and strength from every defeat, until \ictory shall ultimately crown our efforts. J. w. o. WHY NOT? A circular has been issued from the press of the Dispatch Jub Office by the Hon. C M Elird, for the pur pose of ascertaining the views of prominent citizens from the various sections of the county as to the probability of the people consenting to j the erection and maintenance of two j free ferries on Saluda river for the convenience of the people of the Fork in particular and the traveling * * 1 puoiic in general. At the conclusion of his circular, Mr. Etird makes a stroDg appeal fcr the establ shment of these ferries, and as strong as it is, be puts it none too stroDg. We have time and again urged the necessity of the establishment of these ferries and we are glad to koow that the movement has assumed difinito shape and form and trust that it will be pushed to a successful completion. Aside from the consideration of convenience to a large number of people, the establishment of these ferries would in time be money savers to the tax payers. By an Act of the Legislature the county is required to pay, in addition to mileage and per diem, the ferriage, both ways, of all jurors and State witnesses, which, in the course of a few years, will amount to a sum sufficient to pay for the building and the maintenance of these ferries, so, in the loDg run, they will be no additional burden to the taxpayers. The county maintains free bndges in other sections of the county for the convenience of the people, and the tax payers of the Fork pay their proportionate share to build and keep in repair these bridges and from which they derive no benefit. As a matter of simple justice the county should build and operate f.-ee ferries. Oiher counties have established free ferries for the accommodation and convenience of their people, why should Lexington not do so? President McKinley has demonstrated to the civilized world that he is the man of the hour; that a great emergency faced him and he met it in a calm and dignified manner and overcame it as becomes a statesman and a patriot with honor and glory to the great country of which he is the head. His message to Congress last Monday was clear and positive. He has decided that the w*ar in Cuba must stop even if there has to be an armed intervention on the part of the United States. He is also positive that the recognition of the independence of Cuba is inexpedient and inopportune. When the court of inquiry, appointed by the United States, and in the investigations of which the Spanish government was positively denied the right to participate, failed to fix the responsibility for the destruction of the Maine upon Spaiu, the only just cause for declaring war against that country was removed and left t! e President in a predicament never occupied by any other President to our recollection. He had to get out of it with honor to his country, or make it a by word and a reproach among all civilized nations. How grandly he has brought cur country through the great crises history will record. All honor to McKinley, all praise to his diplomacy, satesminship and patriotism! In the discharge of his duties as Sargeant Major of his class, C.idet Cinter, of Summonton, Clarendon count}', reported a number of cadets of the Citadel Academy at Chaileston, for breaking barracks and attending a supper given by the Sumter Guards. This caused great indignation amoDg the recalcitrant students and their friends against youDg Cantey, and in an attempt to drive him from the school, they became riotous. The Board of Visitors investigated the affair and as a consequence Go students were expelled. leafness Cannot be Cured. By local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear.
