WALHALLA, S. C. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 11?. HMO. AN ATTORNEY ON ALCOHOL. The following wonderful piece of word painting has been frequently published, says the Chicago Tri bune, but wo reprint it at the re quest of sovoral readers who desire a complete copy. All attorney, in addressing a jury in a ease which involved th? ma un laid ure. of alco hol, made the following terrible ar raignment of the denton: '.| am aware that, there is a preju dice against any man who manufac tures alcohol. I believe that from the time it Issues from tho coiled and poisonous worm in tho distillery until it empties into the jaws of death, dishonor and crime, it do moralizes everybody that touches il, i from its source lo where it ends. 1 do not believe anybody can contem plate the object without being pre judiced against the liquor crime. All we have to do. gen tl men, is to think ol' Hie wrecks on either bank of the stream of death, ol' the suicides, of tho insanity, of the ignorance, of the destitution, of the little children tugging ut the faded and withered brents of weeping mothers, of wives asking for bread, of the men of genius it has wrecked, the men Struggling with imaginary serpents, produced by this devilish thing; und when you think of the jails, ol' the almshouses, of tho asylums, of the prisons, ol' the scaffolds upon (diher bank, I do not wonder that every thoughtful man is prejudiced against this damned stulT called alcohol. In temperance cuts down youth in Hs vigor, manhood in its strength, old age in its weakness, lt breaks the father's heart, bereaves tho doting mother, extinguishes natural affec tion, erases conjugal love, blots out lllhil attachment.' blights parental hopes, brings down mourning age in sorrow to the grave. lt produces weakness, no' strength; sicknoss, not health; death not life. It makes wives widows; children orphans; fathers (lends; and all of them paup ors and beggars, lt feeds rheuma tism, Invites cholera, imparts pesti lence and embraces consumption. It covers tho land with idlenoss, mis ery, crime. It tills your jails, sup plies your almshouses, and demands your asylums. It engenders contro versies, fosters quarrels and cher ishes riots, lt crowds your peniten tiaries and furnishes victims for your scaffolds. ll is tho lifo blood of the gambler, tho element of tho burgular, tho prop of tho highway man and support of the midnight In cendiary. It countenances tho liar, respects the thief, osteems tho blas phemer. It violates obligation, reverences fraud and honors infamy. lt defames benevolence, hatOB love, scorns virtue and slanders innocence. It incites the father to butcher his helpless offspring, helps the hus band to massacre lils wife and the child to grind the parlcldal ax. It burns up mon, consumes women, de tests life, curses Cod, despises heav en. lt suborns witnesses, nurses per jury, dellles tho Jury box and stains judicial ermine. lt degrades tho .citizen, debases tho legislator, dis honors the statesman and disarms the patriot. lt tirings shame, not honor; misery, not safely; despair, not hope; misery not happiness, and with the malevolence of a (lend it calmly surveys its frightful desola tion and unsatisfied havoc. lt poi sons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, blights conlidencn, slays reputations, and wipes on? national honor, then curses the world and laughs at Hs ruin. lt doos all that and more. lt murders th<> soul. lt is ibo sum of ali vi'.lianies, the fath er of al' crime.

Editor Keowee Courier: l saw in The Courier recently a notico of tho Hudson-Moody wed ding, but nothing was said about tho nico reception given Ir/ the groom's parents J Just thought that was too nico to be overlooked. When the young couple arrived thev were met at the car by the groom's father, who welcomed them homo, and were led to tho house ny UM Ie Bessie Hudson, sister of tho bride, who strewed their path with a pro lusion of llowors into Hie par lor, which was decorated with yel low and white chrysanthemums. Hore they received thc congratula tions and good wishes of many friends who hud assembled for the occasion. Soon they wore ushered into the dining room, which was decorated with ferns and nastur tiums. Tho table almost groaned under Hs load of caicos of nil kinds, roast beef, fried chicken, nico eat ables of all kinds to satisfy tho ap petite. The groom is one of Chcohee's most successful farmers and a young man of truo worth. The brido is one of the community's best Christ ian girls. The Sunday school and music are her chief delights. We bespeak for Mr. and Mrs. Moody Hinch success in life, and join with other friends in extending all good wishes.
