Out2 of an(j c that city to the Abbeville Baptist as- p0I sociation at Siloam church on Tues- tjon g day, in which .air. uuiz advocates gates punishing men who get drunk by com- ^? pelling them to work the roads. We cannot agree with Mr. Outz. It g seems to us men who get drunk are r sufficiently punished in the suffering gj they bring! on themselves. This is g one case where the offense brings its g own punishment. ? We have great pity for the man who 1 gets drunk. In most cases he caimoc 1 help it. You may say he could if he H would; but there is the trouble?he N has not got the will power to do it. In this respect, when he "would do good evil is ever present with" him. He may be the victim of heredity. He may have acquired the habit just so, without any parental tendencies. In either event he is an object for pity, not punishment. The man to punish is the man who puts temptation in the way of others and makes men drunk, and makes them drunkards, in violation of the law. A drunken man should be held to strict account for what he does when drunk or sober; but don't punish for | being drunk. Try to reclaim him some j other way.-dewberry Observer. ^ Suffered Eczema Fifty Tears? | Now Well. | Seems a long time to endure the i| awful burning, itching, smarting fi skin-disease known as "tetter"?an- K other name for Eczema.
