ISrynn and Stevenson were formally notified of their nomination h Indianapolis last Wednesday, and their speeches of acceptance were the ablest e ver delivered on a similarocea sion. The campaign has now commcn ced in earnest, and Democracy is gain ing in every section of the I'nited States. We sometimes see in t he pa pel s ci it - ieisnis of the woman who will spend her time in canning fruits when they can be bought so cheaply in i he mar ket. Home canned fruit is inn pet cent better than that put up by the canneries, unless the very choicest brands of canned goods are bought, in which ease it js far cheaper to do the work at home. Possibly canned com, beans and tomatoes it is better to buy, hut the fruit should be canned at home if possible. ? ? What has become of that severe and relentless persecution of the carpetbag appointees of the Republican adminis tration who stole more than ?100,000 in cash and nearly $400,000 worth of stamps from the Cuban postal funds, w hich the President promised to push so vigorously when the bugo embezzle ment was llrst uncovered'/ The hulla baloo made by the President, by his organs, by his mouthpieces at both ends of the national capital, appear to have merely been a case of "thunder ing in the index." - - a "Lawyers who have studied the sub ject," announces a Republican paper, "are inclined to believe that the legis lation concerning the trusts outlined it* T"loi?n/U'nt?/i nlof fni'ltl *W ill K/i held unconstitutional if enacted." Was it for fear of violating the Constitution that the Republicans, at the last ses sion of Congress, failed to pass any legislation against trustB? If that is the case the Republicans seem to have found a uso for the Constitution; they employ it as a scarecrow to frighten themselves from doing what they don't want to do. It is interesting to uote the effect upon our sister republics in South and Central America of the McKinley im perialistic policy as it has thus far developed. In Chile, Peru and Colom bia the clerical or reactionary party has within the last few mouths sprung into new life and activity, insomuch that the liberal tendency which has for years dominated those governments is now threatened with a serious set back. The liberals in the Latin-Amer ican States have always looked to this country, for their inspiration, accept ing at their faco value our professions of republicanism and believing us? as indeed wo have until lately always believed ourselves?to bo the model and exemplar for all self-governing peoples. .?.- ? m m The Republicans are evidently alarm ed by the prospect that they will lose control of the House of Representa tives at the November election. Chair man Babcock, of the Republican con gressional committee, has issued re peated calls for greater effort to avert this calamity to his party. Ho is call ing lustily for more liberal contribu tions to the campaign fund. Chairman Babcock wains his party that the South will send 120 Democratic representa tives to the next Congress. The im portance of this statement will be re alized when it is remembered that ITS is a majority of the House of Represen tatives, and that the Democrats will have to elect only 58 members in all the north and west to gain control of that body. The opposition to the Re publicans elected 04 representatives in the north and west in 1808, and if they hold their own in those sections, which is quite probable, the Republicans will be iti a minoiity in the next House. - - In a private letter to the editor of TllK IXTEI.T.HiKXCKlt Col. JnO. II. Averill, Secretary and Director Cen tral of the South Carolina Inter-State and WcBt Indian Exposition Co. in Charleston, says: In your issue of August 8th, 1 noticed an editorial on the subject of good road in which you state "that several counties in the State are on the right line in organizing a Good Roads Socie ty," and ndvising every county to do likewise. You are certainly on tho right line in advancing this subject. The Exposition proposes to make it a nrominent feature in tho Exposition. We are now in communication with the Commissioner of Good Roads of the United States, and when the Exposi tion opens in 1001 we will bo prepared to show to tho people of tho State over a mile of good roads, built iu sections of different kinds of materials, and will have a creditable display of broad tired vehicles operating over it, with heavy loads, showing up fully the ad vantages to accrue from the adoption of good roads. We aro more than pleased to know ^kajfc the Exposition will make a practi cal exhibition of good roads, for it will 'result in much good to the whole State. Sonic Prohibition Logic. l.ilttm fHtcUUjvni'cr : Tin* prohibi t ion ist.s of Anderson County have man hood enough to stand by their convic tions. The ravings of the man who poses as the "Royal lien-gall Tiger" will not scare them from t heir position. They may concede that he is the cen tral source of -commun sense, but they do not concede that he has a monopoly of morality. The prohibitionists have reason lo congratulate themselves in so far as Anderson County is con cerned in t hat 1st. They are represented by a man of irreproachable Christian character, a man with a clean record, who has hoi tie him.M It with the courage of his convictions, and not a time-serving politician. The intelligent voters ol \mlerson County, whutevei may he I heir private judgment as to the pra< iicahilil\ of Prohibition, will concede I hat milch to ns. .'ml. The prohibitionists can appeal to t he record and say : "Prohibit ion did prohibit/ Here is tin proof : I he State has prohibited every man from selling liquor. This privilege she re serves to herself by her own agents, and they can sell only at the public dispensaries. Very well. All must admit that, (in lasl Friday these agents were likewise prohibited from selling liquor in Anderson and it worked like acharm. Now, until some responsible man brings forth positive proof lo thecontrary, not from Maine, not from Kansas, hut from Anderson County, that prohibition did not pro hibit on that day, the enemies of the cause ol' prohibition ought to remain silent. Was it a good thing to have had prohibition on that day/ Why was il deemed advisable to have pro hibition that day? The friends of the dispensary, who do not drink liquor at all, did not need to have the dispen sary closed against themselves? Then against whom was it closed? Certainly not against the prohibitionists, for they are asking tiiat it, be closed all the time, lint every intelligent man, I do not car?! what may be his pr?judi ces, admits that it was a good thing to close it on that day. Was it against the crowd? Why. we frequently have in Anderson larger crowds. Why is it, not closed then every day against the crowds.' If it is a good thing for the community to have the sale of liquor prohibited one day against the crowds why is it not a good thing loi the coun try to have it prohibited two days, a week, a month, a year, perpetually? Will our people not stop and consider for one moment the sad commentary it is upon our boasted Christian civiliza tion that it is necessary to sell liquor to the people, and yet when they gather together in a crowd it becomes impera tively necessary to prohibit the sale of liquor to them on that day, in the in terest of peace and good order of society. INI en who are so blinded by political prejudice may not, possibly will not, stop to consider the matter, but I submit it to every intelligent, dispassionate man, w ho approved the closing of the dispensary last Friday to consider the quest ion of prohibition in the light of the good effects it had upon the crowd that day. and then ask himself this question. "If our civiliza tion and our sense of propriety ap proves of the prohibition we enforced for one day, why can we not success fully enforco it every day iu the year?" If it is.'irood for the ?nnMoawby would it not be equally good for the indi vidual for every day? Why cannot a people who claim tobe upright, moral, civilized, christianized, stand up in their manhood and say wo will outlaw tho sale of spirituous liquors forever from our borders? This question was fairly submitted to the voters of Anderson County in 1898, when there were 1,034 who voted for prohibition; there were 1,884 who voted to sell liquor through the dispen sary. It is charged that the preachers ana old bar-keepers have formed an "unholy alliance" to establish bar rooms again. That statement is so absurd every intelligent man can bear truth to its nonsense. How many preachers are there in Anderson Coun ty? How many ex-bar-keepers? The writer knows o;;e who qrit tho busi ness beiore the dispensary came in to supplant the bar-rooms and joined the church and has lived n consistent life to all outward appearances since; one is dead, one does not vote in the Demo cratic primary, the others have either left the State or gone into other voca tions that are more congenial, and there is not to-day in the city of Anderson an ex-bar-keeper who would join the preachers of Anderson County in their "unholy alliance" for the purpose of establishing the old bar-rooms again as has been charged. Now, Mr. Editor, I have no malice towards any one who may differ from me. 1 do not say they are fools or fanatics or hypocrites because thev do not look at the question at issue from my standpoint. To every man I grant the same rieht to think for himself that 1 claim for myself. Hut I submit that it is not fair, that it is not right, for any man to impose upon the ignor ance and prejudices ot some of the voters in the State ns has been at tempted to be done. To tell an ignor ant man that the "preachers of this S t?te," and that includes every preacher in Anderson County, and old bar-room men had formed an "unholy alliance, with Col. Hoyt at the head, to tear down tho dispensary" so ns to re-estab lish the old bar-room system is as reprehensible and contemptible ns was practiced by the "scallnwngs and car pet-baggers" on tho ignorant negroes, when they were told that "it they voted the Democratic ticket and the Democrats got into power, the first thing the Democrats would do would be to put back into slaverv all the negroes." The average Democrat of Anderson County could not find language ade quate to express his utter contempt for such men, and where is there a man who has any feeling or pride of charac ter can blame the preachers who have the manhood to resent such a charge? It the charge be true, then, indeed, tho preachers are blind leaders of tho blind, and the Church is no longera "light to the world." J. L. TltllUU.K. D. S. Vandiveu. k. p.
