Quantities of gorgeous sunflowers "were used in mam moth jars, vases, otc, and were used to drape the curtains in the parlor and din ing room, making a oharming picture.

At the last meeting of the Rook Hill district confereuoeof Methodist ohurohes strong resolutions against the dispen sary were adopted. After setting out in general terms the evils of intemper ance, the report says: "The most gigantio evil to-day in South Carolina ie the liquor traille. The hellish octopus with its seat of authority ic our fair capital has insinuated its dia bolical and damning influence into every part of our commonwealth. We Olli upon onr people to rise up and crush the monster evil. "Methodism bas always led in the temperance orusade. She was the first church ever to have a rule against drunk enness or drinking spirituous liquors. From that day till this. Methodism has never recoded from her position." Then follows a statement of the posi tion of the General Conference, whioh was recently held, at Birmingham, on the whiskey question. The report oloses as ?OIIOWB: "We appeal to our Legislature and be the members thereof to banish the liquor trafilo from our State. No L?gis lature has a right to bargain away the morals of a people. "Realizing the necessity of an aggress ive campaign against the great liquor ovil at this time we offer the following resolutions: "1. That the subject of temperance be systematically taught in our Sunday schools. "That our pastors be requested to preach on the subjoot more frequently. "That lt is the duty of every Methodist to use his power of suffrage to banish this gigantio evil from our State." All the churched are arrayed against the dispensary. Individual members may possibly hold divergent views, but the churches have gone on record on this question, and the voting is a matter of individual consciences. And in spite of tIiis faot a dispensary organ, in discuss ing the great moral institution, has the effrontery to say '"The moral question is not one for cornudo ai lon."
