SIX MONTHS.. $1 50 75 MEETING WITHOUT AN OBJECT. ^ The meeting held in the Court Houso on Monday in response to the call made by A. C. Latimer and others for the pur? pose of declaring that they would sup? port the officers of the law in enforcing the Acta passed by the late Legislature did not piove a brilliant success, as t.' ose who called the meeting would them? selves probably admit. There was no reason why it should not have been a dreary failure. The people of Anderson not only obey the laws, but they always stand ready to give the officers thtir moral and physical support in enforcing the laws against those who do transgress thom. Why, then, should any considerable part of our citizens re? spond to a call from a few politicians to have a great mass meeting to declare that we will do what the world knows we have always done ? The ostensible ob? ject of the meeting was named in the call. -Perhaps there would have been a larger Indience bad the people not di? vined that the real object of the meeting wasn't stated. Perhtps they recognized as a little soheme by which the politi? cs hoped to Joggle the "dear people" endorsing some of the bad legisla? tion of the late General Assembly. Be? sides, tbe many recent adverse criticisms of men and measures has, no doubt, stuade the politicians uneasy, and they wanted an opportunity to make exouses, to mend their fences, and to tell their constituents how earnestly they were trying to do just what would please them. Tha meeting was called to order with about one hundred persons present. Mr. Latimer acted as chairman. He made some random remarks, and seemed not to know just what to say. It was evi? dently o relief wben he could resume his seat in favor of another. His embarrass? ment was evident. Senator John Gary Evans, the author of the Evans law, who was advertised as o big attraction of the meeting, did not 1 bis promise to be present, reson tative Breazeale took the floor devoted the most of his remarks to Evans law, which, indeed, seemed to ! be the text of nearly all the speakers. He endorsed that law generally, but ad? mitted that he had serious objections to it. He practically admitted its illegality by saying that tbe bill was not seut to tbe House until the last night of tbe ses? sion, and he, therefore, could not mcke some amendments tha!; he thought neces? sary because there was not time. Hence, a bill passed tbe House that the members trere not allowed to amend, contrary to all parliamentary proceedings. Senator Glonn was the next sneaker, and said. that the more Williams and Gonzales and others talked against tbe Evans law the more he was oonvinced that it was all right. Representative Pear mac argued the stitutionality of the Evans law, and suppose made it clear to every one t tbe Supreme Court must hold his views on the subject. Sometimes tbe speaker, by a lapsus linguce of course, said "constitootionallty" wben be meant constitutional. The balance of his re? marks were devoted to some imaginary privileges that "they" and the towns had formerly enjoyed which the country had not. Representative Ashley took, tbe floor, and his remarks brought forth the only enthusiasm manifested during the meet? ing, and the crowd rapidly increased In size in consequence but soon retired when he finished. He had voted against .the Evans law and he did so because be bolieved it wasn't what tbe people want? ed. He had voted for the Blease and Parry bills, both of which were real pro ?Mbition bills. He thought it was wrong for the State to become a barkeeper with the Governor as boss of the business. He had fought for a reduction of salaries but his colleagues wouldn't help him. He had received $193 for his 30 days' work and had saved ?160 of it. That was too much, and thought $100 was enough, but all the members didn't vote as they had -preached m tbe stump. He "voted for reformevsry time he could get at it," but "he, and everybody olse who went there for Ohe first time, was so green that he couldn't do anything." Ths speaker, pointing at the chairman, said, "You all needn't expect anything from him when .he goes to Congress, for he will be green, too." The crowd had a good laugh at tbe chairman. The speaker's remarks con? tained much good sense and several times be was applauded and cheered. Representative Watson favored the Evans law and had always been a pro? hibitionist, but he declared he would not have voted for a prohibition law had he been well enough to have baen present -during the discussion of the various measures of that kind before the House. Prohibition was impossible, declared tbe speaker. Tbe Lord on Sinai, said he, had attempted the prohibition of murder, adultery and stealing, and yet these crimes are still continued. Without making clear the consistency of his posi? tion, he declared that he had always been a prohibitionist, and was yet fighting the sale of whiskey, but he wanted it under? stood that he wasn't fighting tbe bar? keepers. Mr. Watson then shifted to tbe threadbare subject of town vs. country, and discussed it in such a way that be seemed to be making a set effo-* to arouse animosities between citizens of tbe towns and citizens of the country. j^CoLB. F. Cray ton was called up. He stated that he was present only as an auditor, but thought the Evans law a step In the right direction. Sjp The chairman was then called for. Ho did not make it dear how he stood on tne Evans law. and Mr. Columbus Wardlaw respectfully enquired what bis views were on the law. The chairman mani? fested confusion and disinclination to reply, and finally blurted out, "I don't know that that's any of your business." To this unparliamentary and gruff answer Mr. Ward law calmly replied : "I thought 7. was addressing a gentleman." Mr. Wardlaw was tnen called for, and the crowd were evidently pleased at the spirit he had shown. He made a short but telling speech. Tbe chairman then took an indefinite kind of a vote on an indefinite something And tbe non descript meeting olosed. - There seems to be growing sentiment n favor of working convicts on the pub? lic roads and not allowing them to be leased. Tbe present methods of dispos? ing of convicts are open to grave objec? tions. A grand jury in New Jersey has made a presentment .recommending the estab? lishment of the whipping post, as in the adjoining State of Delaware, for tbe pun? ishment of wlfe-beatera. They say that \ many cases of brutal wife-beating have come before them, but that the wife is almost always unwilling to testify, be? cause in tbe event of conviction she is 'deprived of support while her husband is iln prison. The grand jurors think that tbe whipping-post will have a deterrent effect which is not found in mere impris? onment. Any man who beats his wife deserves a severe flogging. The- Columbia Journal, anew afternoon paper, has made its appearance and is brimful of good reading matter. Its sub? scription price is $5 a year. We extend it the right hand of fellowship and wish it all the success possible. - ? ? <m> - Gov. Fishback, of Arkansas, has sent a circular letter to the Southern Gover? nors, asking them to meet in Richmond about the 12th day of April to consider plans for the development of the South. He thinks the conditions since Cleve? land's election are such as to attract capi? tal and immigration in this direction. The monument which theex-Coufeder ates will erect in Richmond to the mem? ory of Jefferson Davis will not stand where his remains will be laid next spring. The grave is to be in a cemetery near the James riyer, in the northwestern part of the city. The monument is a mile from the spot. Editor Hemphill, of the Abbeville Medium, has been suggested for State Dispenser. He is no doubt thoroughly qualified for the job, and Gov. Tillman shonld give it to him. His brethren of the State press would be glad to see him filling the position and drawing a salary of $150.00 a month. Death has certainly reaped a large har? vest among the distinguished men of the country during the past month. Ex President Hsyes, Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, Gen. B. F. Butler, the eminent Bishop Phillips Brooks, of Bos? ton, Associate Jostice La mar, of the Su? preme Court and Hon. James G. Blaine died in Ja unary, 1893. Though the war of 1812 baa been over eighty years taere are still 165 survivors of that struggle living. The success of those old soldiers in marrying pretty young girls is shown by the fact that 6,651 of them left widows who still live and draw pensions. If the proportion should hold true the year 1940 will see 100,000 widows drawing pensions on ac? count of the civil war. Proceedings were begun in the United States Court in Charleston last Monday which threaten to bring about a conflict between the State and the Federal author? ities by the Sheriffs of the various Coun? ties attempting to carry out the orders of Gov. Tillman to levy on railroad property for taxoa now in dispute. At the suit of the R. & D. R. R. Judge Simonton issu? ed writs citing the Sheriffs and Treasur? ers of Anderson, Abbeville and New berry Counties for contempt, the rule being made returnable at Greenville March 8. Superintendent McBee came to Anderson Tuesday afternoon with the Court officer in a special train and Sheriff Gainea and Treasurer Payne were served with the writs. The engine attached last Saturday is still chained to the track at the freight depot. Death has np to this time been one of the most important factors in the legisla? tion of this session of Congress. It hits upon several occasions, in both House and Senate, npset carefully prepared leg? islative programmes, by causing the loss of a day through adjournment, and in Congress a day lost carries with it every? thing appointed for that day. There has been since Congress met an average loss of two days a week by reason of adjourn? ment as a mark of respect to the memory of dead men, and the question is being asked, more or less anxiously, "where will this thing stop ?" So far as respect to the dead go-.3 these adjournments are like the clo 'ing of the government de? partments upv ?' milar occasions?farce?, which enable ?0 nment employees to spend a day in search of pleasure, at Un? cle Sam's expense. It would bo more respectful for government employee.'-, from Congressmen to laborers, to remain at work than to make a pic nie on the fu? neral days of prominent men, as they now do, as a rule. The line will have to be drawn somewhere, and many Congress? men favor a law confining the adjourning of Congress and dosing the departments in honor of dead men to deaths of men in office. No Dispensaries at wbieh to Slake their Thirst Columbia, Feburary 5.?The Prohibi? tionists and Good Templars are working on the Freeholders to avoid having dis? pensaries. The liquor men are discon? certed, and do not know what to do. The score of candidates who want the ap? pointment of State commissioner are working the "wires" to get the plum. The religious papers are trying to pro vent the signing of petitions for dispen? saries. The Prohibitionists will in a few days issue a pronunciamento defining their position and outlining their plan of action for the future. The Administration is getting its coffers -eady to receive the money which it ex? pects will begin to pour into them on about Jnly 1, 1893. The prospective can? didates for county dispensers have, it is understood, tried in vain to get petitions for dispensaries signed by a majority of the freeholders in the county towns in which they expect to "dispense" liquor. The neighboring distillers are perhapa getting their long-distance road carts in condition for use after the 1st of July. It really ia not such a long time before the day for the Evans dispensary law to go into effect, and everyone is curious to know what is being done about it. The State authorities have to wait and see what the liqnor men aud teetotalers are doing. Notwithstanding the advice of Govern? or Tillman to accept the situation and do the best they could with the dispensaries the Prohibitionists are not inclined to sign the petitions. The liquor men are still looking around, so it is said, and have not yet mapped out their plan of action. The se? lection of counsel is being left to the Charleston members of the association, and whoever they select will be accept? able to the other dealers, as their inter? ests are the largest. It is expected that counsel will be selected from Columbia, Greenville, and perhaps other section, of the State. Governor Tillman has for the past few days been so busy with other mat? ters that he has'not had time to think abont the successor of his Anderson ap? pointee. The appointment will hardly be made for a month or so, unless Gov? ernor Tillman changes bis mind.?News and Courier. ? A Circleville, Ohio, dispatch says Howard Chaffin, of New Holland, whose domestic relations are not of the pleasant est, attempted to frighten his wife by sending her the following note: "When you get this you will be a widow. You will find my body in tho stable." Mrs, Chaffin received this startling news with considerable nonchalance, and it is al? leged, got out her husband's best clothes and began to brush them for the funeral. She sent her daughter to the stable who returned, saying 'he was not dead but looked awful bad.' Hastening to the stable she found her husband suspended from a rafter. In her efforts to release him she discovered that he had passed the cord under bis arm, and that there was not the lightest prospect of death en? suing from strangulation. Securing a stout stick, she belabored him until ho cried for mercy and begged to be releasod from his awful position. ? Colonel E. C. Goode, of Mecklen- j burg, Va., drove a two-horse buggy across the Roanoke river on tho ice at Taylor's ferry on Tuesday last. The river at that point is over four hundred yards wide and about twenty feef deep. This is the rirst time a team has crossed on ice at that point since January, 1857. aWW?mmmmmmmmmm^m. ... ... - I ? Rev. Mr. Oai'rett M -.H from .vgali Editors Intelligknckr : I bavo al? ways considered newspaper controver? sies?political or otherwise?unpleasant, undesirable, and, for the most part, un? profitable, and, consequently, havo al? ways endeavored to avoid them; and when I wrote the article, which appeared in a recent number of your paper on the Liquor Traffic, I had no idea of entering into a controversy with any one upon the subject. But, since my article seems to have stirred up so much bitter feeling in certain quarters, and called forth such a cutting reply Irom one of our Represen? tatives, I fp.el that I should say a few words in reply to his very verbose arti? cle. Imagine our surprise when we read Representative Cox's bombastic reply. Who ever thought of good Bro. Cox talc? ing any exceptions to that article ? Who even intimated that be was an anti-pro? hibitionist? Who accused bim of not discharging his duty? No, no, Bro. Cox, as you surmise, we did not moan those who gave prohibition their hearty sup? port; and the reason we did not was be? cause we deemed it unnecessary to single each one out and say just who was to blame, even if we had known. We only know that somebody has failed to carry out their pledge, and we simply left it for each member of the General Assembly to answer for himself as to his guilt or inno? cence as conscience might dictate. If, as you say, you are iunocent, and that neither the charge of failing to carry out your pledge in the matter of prohibition nor the epithets, arrogance and self-im? portance, are applicable to you, then why such ado about it? If tbe shoe doesn't fit, then don't wear it. Sam Jones says, that it is always the hit dog that hollers, but here Ja an exception to your rule, Sam; a man, who claims that he has never been touched, yelling and howling at h fearful rate. But, after all, does Bro. Cox not confess that be has boon bit? He says that he was so stunned by tho blow that be bad to pinch himself, feel his pulse, etc., tc tell whether he was dead or alive. We fancy he m ast hav % been feeling a little sick before, or he would not have so readily suspected that death was preying upon his vitala. Now, Bro. Cox, haven't you really been suffer? ing a little from some heart trouble, known as remorse of conscience, since you came home from Columbia? Are yon not a little tender on the dispensary subject ? Of course these are questions you must decide for yourself. Be this as it may, our esteemed friend informs us very emphatically that be is not dead yet, and intimates very strongly that be will be heard from again. No, no, Bro. Cox, you are not dead, and if "kicking" is any sign ot longevity, you will be bore a good while yet But let us notice a few thoughts suggested by Representative Cox's article. 1. He informs us that be has read many criticisms on the Dispensary Act, "all of which be bore admirably until tbe recent article which appeared in tbe Intelli? gencer over the signature of T. H. Gar rett, which from its source, was simply unendurable," hence his reply. From this it appears that tbe dark and stormy cloud has been gathering for sometime, when suddenly and unexpectedly, at the sight of this article, by which he conceives bis dignity to be mortally wounded, the cyclone sweeps down upon us and the long pent-up electricity explodes, hurling its thunderbolts wbioh are fol? lowed by long and deep-toned reverbera? tions at his poor silly victim whom he really considers beneath his notice. Source! What does he mean? Hear what he says, "pause a moment, friends of pro? hibition, and see where they come from." Reader, how does that sound ? Does it not strike you that be feels his importance somewhat? 2. We learn from the honored gentle? man that he and bis friend have a prohi? bition baby in charge which they are tu? toring and bringing up, and hope soon to be able to present to the public gaze as a real pedestrian. Although this child is of foreign birth and despotic parentage, they insist that it is none the less a real, legitimate prohibition child. It is also a little deformed, and has some unnatural protuberances here and there over its body, but they say with a few careful surgical operations performed in the leg? islative balls by the skillful and unerring hand of soire of our wise doctors of law, it will soon be all right. Tbe little fel? low is really getting on finely now, con? sidering the tact that it is very young vet, inexperienced, and a little timid withal. Tbe lost time we heard from it, it was be? ginning to pull up by a chair. I think that is doing fine, don't you ? Bro. Cox, the faithful nurse, is very sanguine in his bones that it will soon be pacing the Moor. If he succeeds iu getting into the Legis? lature a few more times I presume his highest hopes in this respect will be real? ized. Then, too, the little fellow will no doubt, do better and grow faster when they get to feeding it ou the regular dis? pensary food, as it is very pure and wholesome, for we learn that nothing but a pure article is to be kept. Our friend tells us that be returned from tbe Legislature confidently expecl ing to receive the plaudit, "well done good and faithful servant," but to his sur? prise and mortification he did not bear it. He tells us very emphatically that he did all he could for tbe prohibition bill, and veiy exultingly refers us to tbe records, which if my memory serves me aright, shows that "Bro. Cox did vote for prohi? bition twice, but failed one time to vote at all. Yes, I believe the people of An? derson County are fair and honest in their estimate of men and measures, and are always willing to render honor unto whom honor is due, but wben they cast their ballots for men pledged to support the m jasures of the people and they utterly fail to do so. then they are ready to show their righteous indignation. When I criticised tbe Legislature for fail? ing to pass a prohibition law, it was, in one sense, as a body, for as such we all know that it did not do so. That many of our Representatives fulfilled their Eromises, i.nd gave prohibition their earty support, I have no doubt; to such no oiio is more ready than I to Bay "well done thou good and faithful servant.'1 And since the tteoeral Assembly has seen fit to ptiss a dispensary law instead of prohibition, we as law-abiding citizens, can do nothing but except it and make the best of it we can. But, oh ! how dis? appointed wo do feel. To have all of our fond hopes, all of our bright anticipations hurled into the dust and trampled under tbe feet of the base politician, is too bad ! 4. Our friend seems to amuse himself with the idea that we have furnished our own hemp, tied our own noose, etc., but lo, and behold ! while we aro not watch? ing our good Bro. Cox creeps up behind us and steals part of our rope and is now dangling by our side; for in the next broath he tells us it would not do to pass a prohibition law in South Carolina, be? cause, forsooth, Charleston, Kichland, Sumterand Georgetown do not want it. He says they wouldn't know what to do with it; it would be a big elephant on their bands. He wants to know what Charleston would do with a prohibition law she did not want thrust upon her. What is Charleston going to do with a dispensary law that has been thrust upon her? Did ?he want a dispensary more than she did prohibition? Then why thrust it upon her? Is it not a big ele? phant on her hands? The same is equally true of any or all of the other Counties mentioned. Has Georgetown, Sumteror Richland ever intimated that they want? ed a Dispensary ? No, while on tho other hand many of their host citizens are very earnest in their denunciations of such a law. I noticed iu a recent number of the Baptist Courier an article from ono of those very Counties which gave forth no uncertain sound on this subject. 5. In his closing paragraph our wise Representative saj's that after a careful consideration of the matter ho has reach? ed the conclusion that the General As? sembly did a wise thing in passing the Dispensary Law instead of a Prohibition Law, because it would be impossible to enforce prohibition in certain localities. In regard to the first part of this state? ment, we would ask, has be never before carefully considered the matter? Is it possible that he made a mistake in work? ing for prohibition instead of tbe^dispen sary? Friends of prohibition, were we all laboring under a delusion when wo voted that ticket? Was it a dispensary that we really needed? Would Bro. Cox vote for another prohibition bill 1 should it come upin the House? Surely ? not, since he has been hotter informed. Now, in regard to the last part of this I statement, viz: "that prohibition could ru i liee;i: reed in certain places," would mit the Governor, who so emphatically in i rms us that he is going to enforce the I)i peieary Law at all hazards, have the sau e right and power to enforce prohibi? tion ? Tha power that could enforce the one could just as easily enforce the other. Now, so far as having practical prohi? bition is concerned, by not inviting the Dispensary, is all true enough, nnd 1 trust wc may have it: and now that we can do no belter, let us all join baud and heart in striving to accomplish, that great result. T. II. GARttBTT. Happening! In anil Around riedmont. I have heard old folks say that if the fruit trees w?ro covered with ice in the winter that there would be plenty of fruit that year. Well, I hope tho saying will come true, for wo haven't had much Iruit in a long time. I remember when I was a lad?it was the 11th of February, 1858, I think?that they had some sort of a Ma? sonic demonstration at Houea Path?1 reckon it was when their Lodge was dedicated. I was there, and it was a cloudy day, and that night it sot in to raining a slow, steady rain and it all froze as fast as it fell and continued throughout all the nextday, and that night there was a continual cracking and popping of tho timber. It was a fearful slaughter of tho timber, almost ruining all of it. After the ice melted away and it again becamo safe to venture out (for it was dangerous to undertake to travel) all of the read hands aud every man able to do any thing was warned out to clear out tho ro ds, for tbey were all completely blocked where tbey went through woods. As w^ll as I remember there was plenty of fruit that year, so maybe we will have plenty of good fruit this year, which would bo a great help to the people of the South, where they have nearly all of their meat to buy, for they can make apple dump? lings, peach pies, etc., in place of the bacon and beans. So let us return to the hog. I like to think and ponder over the good old times when we never saw a pound of bacon, lard, or flour in a "store" to sell, but if you chanced to bave to buy such prod u ceyou had to go to so in o far? mer's houso to get it. 1 wish it was that way now. I felt sorry for the old negro woman who got caught in tho steol trap, and I reckon tho man who set the trap feels bad over it, but it mado me think of a story I heard once (and it was a fact, but I won't call no names) of an old man in this State. He had been uoi?sing his corn from his crib for somo lime,aud conclud? ed to trap the thief as the man did who caught the old negro woman. So he placed a steel-trap in his crib one night near a large crack, and on getting up next morning he discovered his son at tho crib secureiy fastened in the trap. It seems that his son was of ago and having to feed his own horse he was appropriating the corn from his fathers crib so that he could sell what he made. The old man went and fed his horses but never let on that he saw the young man, and when breakfast was ready he came out in the piazza and cleared up his throat pretty big and said breakfast was ready as he walked into the dining room. Theyoung man could stand it no longer, so be hol? lered out "if somebody don't come here and take this thing oil' my hand I'll break it all to pieces." So tbey turned him loose, and I reckon he reformed. I see in the newspapers every week something about reducing the acreage in cotton and not make over six or seven million bales and that we would get 124 to 15 cents per pound for it next fall and so on and so forth. Now, I don't wan't tobe understood to be advocating an all cotton business nor an all one thing of any sort, but let me warn the Southern farmers that if tbey wan't to keep a mo? nopoly in the cotton trade of the world that they will have to make enough of the article to supply tho trade, or else they will find themselves left after a few years of short crops. Europe does not sit with their bands in tboir pockets and wait for everything they wan't from America any longer than they can get it cheaper and of better quality than they can get elsewhere. I remember a few years ago reading an article in the Me? chanical News, written by John W. Book waiter, in which he was warning tho peo? ple of the United States that they had better keep an eye on England, for soon tbey would have a counter monopoly in wheat; that flour would go down to five dollars per barrel, which was then sell? ing at from ten to fifteen dollars per bar? rel. So it did, and this is how it was done: Englishmen did not want to naj' so much for breadstuff*, winch they had to import, so they went to India nnd went to raising wheat, and very soon the demand for American wheat in England was at an end, for they could produce it cheaper in India than thoy could buy from our people, and they will do the same thing in cotton. So my opinion is, that we had better try and keep up the supply of cotton very near to the demand of the whole world?and we can do it here in the South and make all of our meat and bread and stock feed, too, if we will try. I say plant .for eight million bales and plant plenty of tbe cereals for home use and a little to spare to the towns, then we can prosper?if v:e don't bave too much politics. I am going to plant for my part of the eight million bales and for corn enough to do me, also potatoes, peas, &c, &c, and I wan't everybody else to do the same thing, plant eight acre* of cotton and ten acres of corn to the mule or horse and it will do it. We had a mad dog through this settle? ment last week ; it was in Piedmont on Tuesday night and killed sever.il chick? ens and a pig and bit some dogs, and passed this way the next day, snapping at everything in reach, but it'was travel? ing so fast it was gone before anyone could get a gun to shoot it. It seems that "John" of Aliee, under? stood me to say that "Mr. Haskoll was a better Democrat than Mr. Irby or any of his ring" when I only said I thought so. Now "Johu" don't understand me that I take back back what I did say, for I don't. I only said I thought ho was and I think so yot. I take it this way : that the more intellectual and intelligent a man is the bettor ho is in whatever he professes. So Haskell being far superior in his intellectual capacities to Mr. Irby, I conclude that as be professes to be a Democrat ho must bo a better one. There has been but littlo farm work done around here yot. and it looks as if it will be some time before there is any? thing done. Fall sown oats are damaged to some extent, but I can't tell just how much yet. I hope tbe mass moeting to-day at tho Court House will settle the Evans Dis? pensary bill. Tho best way I seo to get rid of it, is to not sign any petitions for a dispenser. Then they could have none. That would be prohibition equal to the local option with a great deal less trouble. That is the way I intend to defeat it at my house. I will not sign auybodys petition for a dispenser. Squire Fewbl. Willliunston Items. Well, the town of Williainston is still here. We have somo news of au interest? ing uature occasionally. Mr. John T. Wilson and Mi9S NinaV. Crymes, both of William-aon, were mar? ried on the 2-id inst.. at the homo of the bride, by the Rev. I). Weston Hiott. Thu attendants were Dr. James F. Wilson, of Hohes Path. Hnd Miss Si'Mte Acker, of Williainsion, Dr. Thomas G. Crymes, of Piedmont, and Mi>s Mamie Wilson, of Williamston. The parlor wa9 tastefully decorated with Evergreens, ifce. The bride und her tuuidx, heing beautifully and be? comingly dressed, presented a lovely scene. A few friends and relatives were present to witness the marriage. Among others were Dr. arm" Mr*. Furman Crymes, of Greenwood, S. C. A splendid reception was given the day following at the home of Mrs. Dr. Wilson, mother of tbe groom. Capt. A. J. Stringer, of Helton, and Thos Clatwortby, ofllonea Path, were present and made themselves useful in helping to entertain the company. Many and valu? able were the presents given the young couple, and they have the best wishes of the entire community for their happiness through life. Our preachers have decided to unite in holding a union prayer meeting to pray especially for a rovival and the conver? sion of the unsaved. The meetings will be held in tbe College Chapel every Wednesday eveuing. These meetings ought to be encouraued by every one who desires the salvation of souls. Our town has received some valuable additions recently. Mr. Charley C. Gar lington and family from Laurens County, Mr. Thomas H Parrott and family of Dnrling'on County, Mr. William Coo ley of Hartwell, Ca, Mr. Thomas Cox and family of Pelzer, Mr. Spearman and fuui ily of Pelzer. Mr. Willie Ellison aud family of Greenville County, Mr, John Savage, his mother and sistor from Green? ville County, und Rev. John Attaway and family. We extend a hearty welcome to all. Both schools are doing well. Miss Augie Clayton, of Liberty, Pickens County, was graduated Irmn the College last week. We wish for her much suc? cess through life. A girl who graduates here deserves to succeed, for sbe certainly has to work for he<* diploma. Tbe Ladies Benevolent Society of the Baptist Church will hold their thirteenth anniversary on the 4:h Sunday inst.. at 11 o'clock. Rev. A C. Stepp, of Honea Path, is to preach the sermon on (hat oc? casion. Those who have 'ward this able preacher will want to hear hint ognin. Mr. John .;. Cooloy, of our town, has been elc'ted SuporinLondont of t 3 Stato farm anil has gone to take charge of Iiis work. The escape und arrest of the convict from the Neal farm ciused considerable com inent, and it does look like tlio lives of innocent people are endangered by sneb loose oiauageineiir. E. Odar Grove Items. The weather is still had, and I have nearly sucked my lingers off, having nothing else to do. Mr. Allen Mahaffy found a black snake coiled up on the last snow, and it seemed as lively as it would he in August. Our school house was rebuilt and ready to occupy in a week. Wo return thanks to all our friends who helped us in the erection of tho building, and will assure them that whenever we have an oppor? tunity we will return the favor. Mr. Kelly's store is doing a good busi? ness. Pigs are in groat demand now, and are selling at four dollars apiece. Wo notice that Representative Cox at? tempted to give Mr. Garrett some hard licks. Go it, Mr. Cox, if you think there is no hereafter. Meat is surely getting scarce in Wil liamston. One of her merchants came down into this section and went bird lihreshing.

No Difference Between a Dispensary and n Bar Room. Mr. R. S. Galloway, news editor of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, pub? lished at Duo West, Abbeville County, recently sent a circular letter to a number of persons? asking the following ques? tions: l (a) Can a Christian man consistently apply for the position of dispenser under the Evans bill ? (b) If a Church member should apply and get the position will he be subject to discipline? (c) Should a Christian man sign tbe application of one who he thinks would make a suitable dispenser ? The first instalment of answers was published in the Presbyterian on Wed? nesday of last week. The Presbyterian is the Church paper of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, or "Seceder" Church, and bos a large circulation in the Southern States. It is disposod to ac? cept the Evans liquor law as the best possible substitute for prohibition at present, and iu commenting upon the responses which it has received to its inquiries says: "This whole question of the sale of liquor in this State is now practically in tbo hands of the Prohibitionists. Let them refuse to sign petition* for a dis? pensary, and there will bo none in many places. We trust the 'freeholders' of Abbeville wil; avail themselves of the opportunity to get rid of the demoralizing business." Most, if not all, the letters to the Pres? byterian were written by members of the Seceder Church and will doubtless be read with interest, as follows: Troy, S. G, January 24,1893. Dear Brother: A Christian man has no more right to sell whiskey by the pint, quart or five gallon than he has to sell by the drink. The only difference between a private barkeeper and the State dispen? ser is the private barkeeper's right to sell is unlimited us to quantity, while tbe dispenser's rieht to soil is regulated by the State law. Botli are legalized bar* keepers, and both stand on the same plat? form. A Christian cannot afford to sell whiskey under any consideration. 2d. If a Church member should get the position he would be subject to discip? line, and should be dealt with. 3d. I cannot see how a Christian man can consistently sign an application to sell whiskey. Respectfully, J. P. Wideman. Clover, S. C, January 24,1893, My Dear Sir: (a) The dispenser is sim? ply a barkeeper for the State. Whether a barkeeper is in the employ of an indi? vidual or a corporation does not change the character of the employment. Li? quors sold by the State are just as hurt? ful to the soul and body of the consumer as aro liquors sold by an individual. A Christian can no more run a dispensary than a saloon as they aro at present con? stituted. Morally the positions are iden? tical. (b) A Church member holding a posi? tion as dispenser should be dealt with as one would be who kept an ordinary saloon. (c) When a Christian signs tbe petition of an applicant for such a position he makes himself morally responsible for all the consequences of tbo traffic. E. W. Presslv. Chester, S. C, January 24, 1893. I think any Christian man, if moved by the proper motives, can not only take such a position as dispenser, but under certain circumstances it would bo his patriotic and Christian duty to accept. Christians, as a rule, are getting hyper hide-bound on this subject of temperance when once they take up prohibition. They strain at the gnats as to this and in other matters equally important gulp down whole caravans of camels. Thous? ands of Christian druggists are dispensing liquors all over the world. If these insti? tutions are to bo what they aro intended good men must take hold of them. In communities where bar rooms have existed we will have dispensaries or blind tigers. The last is all of hell except tbo smell of sulphur. The licensed bar furnishes an equivalent in smell and is worse than the tiger because of its gnudy dross. . The dispensary, properly managed, will prevent the next generation from fruiting into a crop of drunkards, of whom in the present we have enough to prevent any other form of prohibition legislation. It is certainly not unchristian to accept a position in the internal revenue depart? ment of the National Government. This is the same. Yours truly, J. R. Henry. 1- me, S. C, January 27, 1S93. To . nr8t question, we answer, no. The rulei and order of the Church cer? tainly forbid the retailing of spirits or keeping saloons, and we see no difference between a dispenser and the keeper of a saloon, save that the latter can sell a smaller quantity than the former. 2d. We hold that doaliug in ardent spirits is a business in which no member of tho Church can engage without laying himself liable to the censure of tho church. 3d. Wo maintain that no Christian has the moral right to lend his name to aid in any such business as retailing spirits or any other business that may bo injurious to the well-being and prosperity of the Church and country in which he lives. I). T. LESLIE. Sharon, S. C, January 27, 1803. 1st. No Church member can consis? tently, in my opinion, apply for the posi? tion of dispenser. 2d. Church mombors applying antl ro ceiving tlio office of dispenser would bo liable to discipline. :5d. I do not think Church members can consistently recommend dispensers until after the question of establishing a dispensary has been settled in tho affir? mative and then only as between a moral and immoral applicant. I believe the dispensary should bo op? posed by every Church member in his locality in every legitimate xvn.y in the interest of prohibition. Bat after the question of establishing a dispensary has been legitimately settled affirmatively, then in such case everyone should give tho dispensary system a fair trial. R. T. Rim uns. Bradley, S. C, January 30,1S9.}. Dear Brother : 1st. I do not see how a Christian man can consistently apply for tho positiou of dispenser undor any cir? cumstances to sell liquor, the worst ene? my in existence which our churches have to fight. 2d. Yes, and his name should bestrick? en from Church roll without ceromouy. 3d. The Christian's duty is to light the abominable use of and tralDc in intoxi? cating liquors. We do not need the whiskey, and, of course, do not want any dispenser. We need total abstinence, aud if tbe Christians of this .State will do their duty the victory has boen won, and ere the last sun of 1893 has ceased to shiue the bleeding, broken hearts of many, many poor mothers, wives, sisters and daughters will leap for joy with Hosan nas in the highest that the dens of iniqui? ty have past into history, and peace and prosperity reign supreme. Respectfully, E. W. Watson. To Open In July. The board of trustees of Clomson Col? lege met at Fort Hill on Wednesday. Proper steps and arrangements tor the opening and management of tho college were completed and all business that came bofure tbe board was disposed of. Col. J. L. Orr, a member of the board from this city, was seen last night by a Nctffs reporter and gavo tho following statement of the proceedings : It was decided to open the college on Tharsday, the Gth day of July. All tho professors aro requested to be thero on the 29th of June, except the professor of physics, who will como in advanco to arrange his apparatus. At the request of the board most of tbe professors wero at Fort Hill and submitted a scheme for the college course. Four year's study are required to obtain a degree, which will be a very comprehensive course and the standard will bo high. For the purpose of accommodating young men who are unable to take a full course, a two year's course has been provided, which is not so thorough, nor do tbe studies extend to tbo highest branches. Such students as are proficient in this course will obtain a certificate to that effect. A very thorough course of chem? istry, mathematics, pure aud applied, physics, mechanics and agriculture, has been provided, while English history and drawing, both mechanical aud tree hand, will be taught. The regular session will open on the first Thursday in December, thus giving a full ten months' course, with a few days for recreation in the summer about the first of July. Regular work will be done on Satur? day as well as on the other five days of tbe week. The college will be under military discipline, and the commandant will be a graduate of West Point?a South Carolinian who has gained distinction both in the scientific and military world, Thera are 1,000 applications on file for admission, but as a good many of these were made eighteen months ago when tbe college was first expected to open, many applicants have made other ar? rangements since then. "My impression is," said Colonel Orr, "from the best information obtainable at present, that the college will open with between four and five hundred students. Those who wish to go should file their applications without delay if their names have not already been sent in. The loss of Prof. H. A. Stode as president of the college is regarded by many of the friends of the institution as a serious one, but it is for? tunate that he has consented to remain as professors of mathematic. It was hoped that we would be able to select a new president at tbe last meeting who could take charge of tbe general affairs of the college, but it being impossible at that time, tbe faculty present were requested to select a chairman to act as president until one was elected, and two other members of the faculty to assist him in tbo general plan of organization. "Col. J. S. Newman, the professor of agriculture, Mr. Hartlin, professor of chemistry, and C. W. Welsh, professor of physics, were selected lor these positions. Communications in regard to the college should be addressed to Colonel Newman. "A thorough water supply has been I provided and a contract has been made for electric light. A large Harria-Corless engine and boiler have been contracted for and arrangements wero made for the equipment in the most substantial and modern manner for the teaching of the agricultural, mechanic and scientific branches."?Greenville News, Neb. 3, The Faith Cure. A remarkablo story is told of the mira? culous faith cure of Mrs. Ann Eliza Tutt, of this city the wife of Mr. William II. Tutt, a well known printer, who lives at 211 North Marion streot. Tho lady is forty-one yoara of ago and has one child. In October, 1878, she became paralyzed. Since then sho has been given up by all physicians as a hopeless invalid. Sho says sho put hor faith in God and believ? ed that IIo would restore her for somo wise purpose Sho says she has read her Bible all tbeso l^ng years and prayed to God to cure her, haviug implicit faith in His intention to do so, Mrs, Tutt tells the story of her euro as follows: "Monday night before last I had a dream, I thought that I was walking. The next morniag I spoke to Patsy, tbo nurse, about it, and told her not to be frightened if the Good Master should suddenly give me the use of my limbs. "That afternoon I lay down and again dreamed that I was walking. Tuesday morning I was sitting before the fire in my roller chair meditating, and I thought I heard the Good Shepherd saying to mo: 'Arise, take your chair and walk.' "There was a chair close by me?the same one you are sitting in?and I got up, caught hold of it and began to walk, something I had not done for eighteen years, and something that tho doctors told mo I never would do again on oarth. By pushing the chair in front of mo and steadyiug myself I managed to walk Into the next room. Patsy was in there. Nothwithstanding my warniogto hor sho was almost frightened out of her wits. I told her not to be afraid ; that tbe Good One had commenced to work on me. "Since then I havo suffered no pain, not eveu in my back. I walked about tho house a little each day, and I have been getting stronger and stronger."? Columbia Slate. ? Clare was perched upon tho fenco post, swinging her chubby logs and sing? ing at tho top of her sound little lungs, j "Bo careful, Clare," said I, as I pased by ; "You might fall and break your bones. I'm afraid you'll get hurt." "Oh, don't bo 'fraid," she answered, reassuringly ; "I did fall down yesterday already, and 1 never even cracked-" Merit Wins.
