The Js*Kislature Memoraiized Annlnst the Repeal ot the Prohibition Law— Addresses hr Rev. Lucius Cutliliert and Mrs. Chapin and Other Inter esting Proceedings. Barnwell Hentinel. Quite a large aud enthusiastic meet ing of the friends of prohibition law of Barnwell county was held at the Court House here on last Monday, at which many ladies and gentlemen from several sections of the county were i>re.sent. After the meeting was organised, several speeches were made and some prettv strong resolutions read and adopted. It is the purpose of the prohibitionists to prevent our law-nfgkeru from making any move in a direction towards abolishing the law. ^fbey desire that it shall continue in force, and that Its provisions shall he complied with. We surrender a good portion of our paper to-day to the proceedings. While this meeting was being held the ant!-pro!iibitionists were drawn together over Brown’s Furnitqre Slore, and with recruits from other sections of the county is sued a call for a meeting to take place here on next Monday, when, it is be lieved, their side of the case will be as fully discussed, and other steps taken to have their views carried out.

HARGRAVES, 541 Broad St., Augusta, Ga. H MEMORIAL. To the Honorable: The Senate and House of Represenatative of the State of South Carolina, now met and sitting iu General Assembly. The people of Barnwell County, having assembled this the 30th day of November, A. D., 1885, at the County seat of said County, for the purpose of taking into consideration the action of certain individuals claiming to be the citizens of said County, who having petitioned your honorable body to re- repealjthe law known as the Prohibi- tfoiiLaw of Barnwell County, respect fully sheweth: That every allegation set forth in said petitiQn is utterly false and with out foundation. That the action of the Grand Jury of Baruwell County iu recommend ing thte repeal of tne law was without attyltorlty, an overstep dT bounds, un wise, inexcusable and without prece dent, TUat the law was passed in accord ance* with the expressed will of the people in Convention, That the vote when submitted to the people of the County stood 17-20ths for Prohibition. That the benefits accruing from the law are manifest and clear to be seen. That in addition to the endorsement of the law by this Convention, it has had the unanimous endorsement of the three Conventions and Associa tions, two of which were large bodies, and made up entirely of delegates from the different sections of the county. This body furtl\ef sheweth : That the Igqguago used in the peti tion for the repeal of the law is not only dictatorial, hut disrcpectful to your Honorable body. In view of the foregoing facts, your petitioners respectfully ask that your louorable body do not repeal the Pro hibitory law of Barnwell, and fur thermore that you so amend the law as to make the penalty imprisonment in the Penitentiary for not less than one year, nor more than three years, in addition to the fine as now provid ed by law, and that the taking out United States revenue license for Barnwell County shall be deemed and taken as prima facie evidence of a violation of the law against any one charged of the offence of selling liquors. PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS Whereas, it appears that an effort is being in,ade by the circulation of petitions for signatures throughout the County to repeal the law kypwn as the Prohibitcry Law of Barnwell County. And, Whereas, the reasons set forth in said petitions are based upon the action of the Grand Jury in the pre sentment at the last term of the Couit, and other allegations without regard to facts or fidelity’. And, Whereas, it behooves every good and law-abiding citizen of the County to raise his voice against the repeal of the law upon sucli ground less allegations and sentiments as set forth in said petitions and the recom- mendaticaiof the Grand Joey, which body did not represent the sentiment of the majority of the citizens of the County, as we maintain, be it Resolved, That we, the peqple of BariQyell County, delegated from the di|Tereiit sections of the said County, and now sitting in Convention, do most heartily endorse the law known UM as the Prohibitory Liw of Barnwell. That we condemn in the strongest terms the action of the Grand Jury in assuming to themselves the right to speak for the people at large, and to make recommendations for the pas sage or the repeal of laws, and can only attribute the cause of such ac- tion to influences which did not rep resent the true sentiment of the people.

I ha\e no fears of your success. Our Legis lature in Columbia dare not pull dowu what has cost so much prayer and labor to build up, if you make a vigorous protest. Tell our brothers in Barnwell county that Aiken is with them in heart and would have been in line with themjo-day if the will of the pe ople’as ex j res <ed at the ballot box by a Democratic majority of318 votes,had not been deliberately and systemati cally thwarted by Aiken’s four Re presentatives in the lower House of our General Assembly. Tell them Aiken County will protect herself from such accidents in the future, and will surely join the Grand Army that is buttling for the right in the course of another year. The friends of Temperance every where, thoughout this grand old State must rise in the majesty of their pow er and protect themselves from the fierce onslaughts of the liquor power. We haye acted long enough on the defensive; we must ijow make our voices heard at the ballot-box in the primary assemblages of the Demo cratic party,which represents the prop erty and inteliig.mcH of <>nr by selecting those who are the friends of Temperance an^ ipqrall y, to fill those offices of honor oiid trust provid ed for L>y the laws of our Commou- wealth. If men unfriendly to the cause of Temperance, and of law and order are permitted to draw our Juries, and ad minister the other functions of govern ment. How can we expect any whole some results from the self sacrificing labors of those whq are gallantly fight ing this glorious battle for “God and Home and Native Lund?” Our Temperance friends must prove to the world that they are not ashamed of being known us soldiers in the great Temperance army. We must grapple our enemies wherevei we find them, and never turn from the combat until we have triumphed in the uamc of tiie God of our fathers, and conquored a blessed inheritance for our children and our children’s children. We send you our dear brother and co-worker, Rev. Lucius Cuthbert, and trust that God, in his abundant mercy will bless both him and you, and ail of the gnuid army of Temperance Democrats, who are struggling for the right and guide you in all your de liberations with wisdoiq and courage. \Yith kindest regards^ I am, Fraternally Yours, Chas.

The board, also, in their judgement, were constraine 1, by the interests of the school, to dis approve the action of the su periirten- dent in the appointment of a cadet to office, and, therefore, to evoke it. These events reached the public in par tial statements, and without full infor mation much criticism ensued. The popular interest thus aroused in the special matlernlluded tosoems tolnve subsided, and the resulting success in the conduct of the school appears to be accepted as a vindication of the wisdom of the hoard. They have pre pared, and have ready to submit, n full statement of the operations of the Academy since its reopening in October, 1882, so far as they relate to the events which culminated in the action to which reference Is had.

A Hanging in England Ends with a Hideous Tableau. Norwich, England, Nov. 30.—A horrible sight was witnessed to-tlay at tiie hanging of Robert Goodale, a market gardener, for the murder of his wife at AAMseach, Sept. 15 last. Fifteen stone weight was used, and the drop was six feet. When the trap was sprung the rone rebounded vio lently and Goodale’s head was sev ered from his body. The spectators were horror-stricken and became sick at the scene. An inquest was held. The hangman said that Goodale’s head looked as though it had been cut off with a knife. He had thin verta- bne. A surgeon said the hangman was sober and cool and collected when he sprung the trap. Goodale’s death was almost instantaneous, and was more merciful than by strangulation. The jury rendered a verdict in accord ance with the facts, attaching no blame to the hangman.

THE VICE-PRESIDENTS AVILL Mr. Hendricks Leaves All his Proper ty, AVithout Reserve, to his Widow. Indianapolis, December 3.—The will of th,e l.at<? Vice-President Thomas A. Hendricks was probated this afternoon. It is in Hendricks’s writing, and the paper is yellow with age. It reads as follows: *T, Thomas A. Hendricks, of Marion county, Indiana, do make this my last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills by me at aiiy time heretofore made. I give, bequeath and devise to my beloved wile, Eliza beth Hendricks, all my personal and real property of every description whatever, and wherever located, All my rights, claims, choses \n action and in fee simple to have and to hold the same to her and her heirs.

McKernan, We do not suppv was ever so foolish that prohibition would the use of spirituous liquors in a towu or county where the law was adopted; for there js a eei'taip clqss of habitual drinkers to whom whisky is almost as essentail as water. Rome persons will send off and buy it by the bottle or jug and drink it at home. It is their privilege to do so, and no one will question this right. Ifa man sees fit to lay drunk \n his room half the time it is hia own business; but when he makes a public display of Ills ap petite, to the annoyance of sober, citi zens, then it is time for the law to step in and take matters In hand. We reiterate n«r assertion that not near the amountof liquor-is consumed in Athens as before prohibition went into effect, and a few days since we had occasion to put matters to a prac tical test. A gentleman came to us to know where he coqld get a bottle for a convivial friend. Having none ourself, and as we wished to oblige him, we took the street with the party and called upon a number of gentle- who always had been in the habit of drinking iu moderation. Wc stated the circumstances to them, and all the Uquor that could be found in Athens was about half a pint. Had any of the parties approached the whiskey they would cheerfully have surrendered it. Thus it is seen tha! when you make it inconvenient for a man to get liquor, he will gradually accustom himself to do without it But even, for the sake of argument, admit that as much whiskey is now consumed in Athens as before prohi bition went into effect, is this any reason that we nhould give up the ex periment? Is not the Rising geueva- tion worth saving, and does any man deny that bar-rooms are veritable death-traps to the boys and young men of Athens or any other place? Drunkenness is as much a d s .*asc as consumption, almost as hard to cure. Even if the comfirmed drunkards con tinue to send off and buy their whis ky by the hogshead, if they want to, and carry It home and soak it by the quart, let u& stick to prohibition and keep the hoys from following that downward path.

CIradlottsviLLH, Va., November 7.—The reports that Mahone was con sidering the expediency of resigning his seat in the United States Senate, preparatory to moving from Virginia, h ive justly met with the discredit they deserve. With all his faults Mahono probably has ns much affec-* tion for his State as gny tnai\ in it, and the fact that he has been mercilessly rebuked for abusing authority conferred upon him does not imply that the people who gave him l>ower and afterwards relieved him of it desired that he should remove from the State. He will serve in the United States Senate till March, 1887, after which he will engage in various business enterprises, and may yet ren der valuable aid in developing tha immense resources of the State. John S. Wise, the defeated candid^ ate for the Gubernatorial rhnir once occupy by his father, will resume the practice of his profession, where hia ; native ability and varied attainments, will enable him to gain a prdminent place ot fhe Bar. Virginians are too. generous hearted to envy him any success he may achieve in private life.

But so long as they are exposed to the temptation of gild ed bar-rooms, .there is constant dan- ;er of their falling by the wayside, ow any father, with sons around hi* kmo,can vote to keep the tempta tion of liiiuor in their path, is beyond our ken. it will take at least five years to give prohibition a fair rtest—gi”e It time to get in some work on tiie Imivb, and then if we find that the race of drunkards is uudiminished it will be plenty of time to try another expeilment. If every man who now takes a drink dies of delirium tremens Atlanta is to be a temperance city. Fulton county has voted against whiskey, and after next July, when liquor licenses expire, will be classed as a “dry” county. The Prohibition ists made a greater light in Atlanta than they have made tn any town or county of the State, and they wero succ.H ful. They won by a very small majority, but ft is sufficient-for their purposes. It begins to look as if the whole State would adopt prohibition. The capture of Atlanta is calculated to in* spire the Prohibitionists with courage to attack all other strongholds of the whiskey interests. There were very grave doubts about their ability to se cure the adoption ot prohibition thero, because the Anti-Prohlbitlonlsts vjero strougly entreuched. Indeed, as late as yesterday morning, the impression was that the Aiiti-Prohibltiouists would be victorious^ That was due to the fact doubtless that, they made more noise than their opponents. The Prohibitionists have cause to re joice. They have shown a strength that they did not know that they pos sessed. The fight in behalf of tem perance will now be carried mi Iu all the counties which still hold out against prohibition with renewed vigor. Prohibition will do no harm. It will not cheek Atlanta’s prosperity. It will promote it. The testimony from all ihecounties that have adop ted prohibition is that they are more peaceful and more prosperous than they were when they legalized the sale of intoxicating liquors. The opponents of prohibition in Atlanta will bo wise if they accept their defeat with tho proper spirit and consent to let prohi- tion have a fair trial. Turn the Itascals Out!
