(rEsora i'ARr.Es.) The lion called the sheep to ask her If his breath smnll. She tinid vm. nml tin kt* n(F hor head for a fool. He called tho wolf and asked him. He said no; and he tore liitn to pieces for a flatterer. At last ho called tho fox and asked him. Truly, he had a cold and could not smell. Ytiso men, say nothing in dangerous times. Yes, and wise men are also true men in dangerous times, and if the great and worthy Allinnco cause, that so vitaly concerns the welfero of our homes and our wires and childreu, could at oar county Allinnco next Friday, transformitself into judge and jury, and sum\ mon enoh delegate to Bay if his brain was . muddled by and his breath smelt of the vile ~ cup of tho liquor dealer, I am afraid that no" would not bo tho only nnswor given. Brethren, I beseech you to be truo to tho trust imposed iu you and legislato with clear heads and steady hands for whose interest yoa represent; and if you will degrado yourself with rum, wo say bostialize yourself when your act and oxamplo will bo less injurious to the cause you represent. "BLEAK" AVO OAFFNEY. 1 plainly assert dftfl havo positive proof from many of the wRr citizens of GnfFnoy, that ray friend "Gleam," (whoever he is) is a reckless writer, and that a majority of tho itesi citizens did not sign the petition for bnrrooms. But as my ' friend "light Seeker" proves tho incongruity of Gleam's statement on that line, I only want to say to you, friend Gleam, the Lord have mercy on any town whoso best citizens wore so_ void of " hign a petition to open up those flood-gates of misery, that bolcli forth their volcanic j'S'' streams from tho bottomless pit, over the land for which Christ died. Friend Gleam, Sod un was a bettor city than that, for tho b.osscd Jesus has suit], "verily I say unto you that it shall bo more tolerable for Sod?m turd Gomorrah in tho day of judgment thafrjFtor that city." Friend Gleatn, yoiMvoquosted me to como to UafTnoy and see f< r mysolf. I came; and what! Alas! os iny wife and I drove through tho heart of tho town, the stench of the demon liquor, that lay couccaled behind soreous in those devil dens, poured forth its corrupting odor into tho puro mountain atmosphere, bidding dofiance to humanity, civilisation and christiaryty. Fiiend Gleam, there may bo no moro drinking or drunkounosy among the inhabitants of GafTnoy than before the barrooms wore licensed, but the farmers who yield to tho temptation of liqupr did not know how to slip around and iato -whiskey aelli ng barrooms ntta/ blind tigers' like town drinkers, and consequently would w oomo home sober. Passing along your street I saw on the opposite side a barroom and a burly looking Tk. follow, a goo 1 ajent of iho devil who hat already seen the inner walls of a penitentiary poke his head from bohind the scroen and with his cane rap on tlio door to attract tho attontionof an,honest farmer, thon beckon him into this den of dostruction. I thanked God tho ? farmer had the manhood to say no and pass on. Friend Glram.just spend ono afternoon on any of the highways that loai from your Jtown and seo tho hellish destruction that is carried from the barrooms of Qaffney: Hard earned nionoy left bohind ; men win W?b4 I* t?fn loving kwhmJv >nJ InSnl^nt fathers, are returning home in disgrace and bereft of reason, bearing sorrow and tears to mothers, wives and children.

Although I believe the schools in GafFnoy aro as good as any in the State, and that the teachers are pure christians, yet I could never send my sons to a town to be educated mentally, where the morals were so low that the best eitisens petition for barrooms. And now I urgo upon you, the good people of Gaffney, who would see your town flourish and your splendid schools prosper, . demand your rights.

Gakfnky Citt, March 81.?There *?f? * tow quest i n*> asked, Mr. Alliance Editor, by your correspo- d?-?t "Outsider" in-your last week's issue/ which 1 wish to answer, snd a few positions taken hy yourself, from which 1 w sh to dislodge you. Outsider wants to know if there is not more drinking now than there was before barrooms were opeued, and why the nrod of two pol cemcn instead of oneT formerly our town extended froniaWT^| There is more v.o k on streets, sldewn'ks, etc. The service- f one policeman are seldom called into requisition. The average number of arrests (as t atn informed by Chief of Police) fur nil cuus s, is about ouo a week. The last arrest made was a country-man for drunkenness. liis fine wnn $'2. To my certnin knowledge this same country man was arreted for the *</tne cause during "Drug Storo" days and fined $5. Who lias not heard of tlio "blind tigers" with whioh every dry town is infested, and which is almost a syuonym for "dry town?" Not to mention drug stores. Who has not heard of theso very same "well-meaning but weak-kneed country folks," whon put on tho stand to testify in behalf of the b'tate, swearing that he did not buy whiskey, but pnid ten cents for a cracker, or paid ten cents to see tho "striped pig," and a drink of whiskey was "flung in?" Who has ever heard of ono of those "weak-kneed courtry-nion" who really wanted whiskey in a dry town that they did not get it ? unless, porchnncc, his knees were too iceak to carry him into a drug store or blind tiger. I will say that the drug stores and blind tigers at Gaflhey City and at Union were not built that way. 1 said 1 did not drink, simply to define my position, as not bfeing interested in the salo of whiskey from that standpoint. I do not oxpoct a singlo bar to put a single cent in mv nocket: itiil I do not liesitAte to <ro where ray business demands nic to go. If there is not enough whiskey drank in these bars to intoxicate people sufficiently to enable a close, nay, even a casual observer to form an opinion, or estimate, as to how much is drank, then it is far better than tho days of our so-called dry town; for drunk men were then frequently seen on the streets. My opinions were based on eorreei information, substantiated by ray ewn observation. ' I am glad, Mr. Editor, that you traced fourfifths of the crimes committed to tho offeols of liquor, ami. Lam JHMttt-, the fur sex will srowa you as th?r TSltKi Kibft (tliough rather old *) for baring controverted that old saying of "there's a woman at the bottom of every thing." Hut without jest, how tcut it at Union, and how t* it now. If my memory serves mo Wright, and my information is not incorrect, there was r, time, to which iho memory of man runneth not to the contrary, in Union, when all the necessary requisite to obtain tho "liquid damnation," was to tusk for a drink of "red wine" or "whito wine."? The laws of tho State stood open to you. Were these public violators of the law punished ? Was there "evil to bo found at Union?" If so, did you "fight" it? I do not ask the question with any other object than to show the impracticability of msking a town "dry." Our town council was not gifted with dictatorial power, and when r. petition was presented to them with 1 Go signatures to^A, which is probably 75 names more than half, 1 do not considor that it was an optional matter with tliera to grant liquor license.? The petition is now in my possession, and on 'it are the names of a majority of the merchants, a majority of tho property owners, petition can speak for itself. Tho portion of country taken in by the extension of iho incorporation embraced Limestone Springs. Coopor Limcstono Institute?a school of which we are justly pround,?Rov. I. W. Wlngo. Capt. \V. II. Richardson and many other good people, than whom our town boasts of no better, as citizens. Hut the volet of all these had nothing to do with it, as there was no "wet" or "dry" election. A majority of the citizens of "Gaflhcy proper" favored tho granting of license. Gi.kam. * Wc tliiuk Gleam is awfully mistaken in bis man.
