The Atlanta Journal thinks that tlio shirtwaist man is coming in spite of all the gibes and ridicule that can be di rectcdnt him. Let him come. -mt * ? Tho.situation in Chinais praeiieally unchanged. The allied forces are holding lVkin and are try ing i<> restore order. It is impossible t<> tell at this : i 111? ' what the outcome will be. The .South African wai lias demon strated one thing quite conclusively, and that is that the American mule is not only a tirst class draft animal, but that he makes a very fair ait ich- of sausage. Politics, when sifted down, are after .ill. nothing more than difference of opinion on public issues, and when clothed in the garb of honesty and fairness may be handled by opposing factions without creating ill-feeling. It is the one-horse-politician who is responsible for the stench arising f rom political lines. There is no disposition to brag or talk for effect at the headquarters of the Democratic Congressional cam paign committee. Chairman Richard son and his fellow members believe that the Democrats can carry the next House and they are leaving nothing undone that will in their judgment help to do it. The work of the com mittee is in a more advanced condition than it was ever known to be at this stage of a campaign. ? ? It seems almost impossible to con vince the average citizen that the in exorable commercial law is that a man will get just what he pays for: that cheap things are cheap things in fact as well as in name. The craze for cheapness is responsible for a largo per cent of the iniquitous system of adulteration which permeates so many of our manufactured products. If the people would not buy these fraudulent goods and did not think that they were getting more than their money's worth when they did buy them, such things would not be made. Ha ce riots have recently occurred in New York and Ohio ami one negro came near being lynched in Chicago. The negroes are getting to be more numerous in the North and the people in that, section will have a little taste of what the South has experienced in years past. The Philadelphia lieeord puts it correctly when iL says: "The crime which breeds lynch law arouses mob violence along the lakes as well a* in distant Southern communities. Akron, < Hiio, where a mob sought to wreak upon a prisoner of the law the summary vengeance of Judge Lynch, is scarcely thirty miles from Cleveland, and is inhabited by an industrious and ordinarily n law respecting population; but with these people, no less than with their neighbors far to the south ward, the thirst for quick reprisal upon a wretch too base to live proved strong er than traditional regard for the man dates of authority. Such is human nature the country over; und such it will remain, no doubt, so long jib the unpnrdonnblo crime shall menace tjje J mines of the people." ^be semi-wntennifti of the founding of Waltl&?? took place last Thursday 'and Friday, and was a grand and in teresting occasion throughout. Tho crowd of visitors in attendance was estimated at 0,000, nenrly every section of the State being represented. The hospitable citizens of the town threw open their homes and treated and en tertained their guests most royally. Walhalla, the "Pnrndise of tho Gods," was settled by thrifty Germans in 1800 through the efforts of tho German Colonization Society of Charleston, the President of which was Gen. John A. Wagener. Of the iginal settlers only two or three su: ..e. The exercises opened Thursday morning with n grand parade consisting of the military, a trades display, civic societies, school children, .knights of the tournament and citizens walking and in carriages. Tho Geiman Artillery, 100 strong, of Charleston, with two pieces of artil lery, attended, and was assigned the place of honor in the parade. After the parade the crowd assembled in a beautiful grove to listen to the ad dresses, lt. T. Janes, Esq., of Wal halla, delivered a ino?t interesting and eloquent address of welcome.- He was followed by Hon. John D. Jnppelmnn. of Charleston, the orator of tho day, whose address was replete with his torical facts. Mr. Cappelmnn was fol lowed by Rev. AY. A. C. Mueller, of Charleston, whose address was deliv ered entirely in German, his subject being the influence of Germans on his tory. In the afternoon a handsome granite monument, erected to the memory of Gen. Wagener and other pioneer founders of the town, was un veiled. This monument was built by popular subscription, the funds being contributed by the descendants and friends of the ^ioneer settlers. The flag draping the monument was drawn down by Miss Cherrie Wngener. n granddaughter of the lamented Gen eral. Friday was spent in amusements, and the occasion closed that evening with a grand ball. We extend oui congratulations to our sister town on attaining her semi-centennial, and trust she may continue to grow and prosper until tho end of t'me. 7 --:-? ?-:-. .?

The Democratic primary election passed ofl" very quietly in Anderson County yesterday. The vote was not as large as was expected, the vote hav ing fallen oft" considerably at some of the country precincts. Tin* total vote cast in this County two years ago was 4,100, and the total this year will be about the same number, as will be seen by referring to the tabulated state ments published on another page. Sheriff < ?reen, Supervisor Vandiver, Treasurer Payne and Auditor Holeman are re-elected. Messrs. Wut kins and Smith will make the race in the second primary for Clerk of Court. Messrs. Prince, H?cker, Ashley ami Kankin are elected to the House of Representatives, ami Messrs. Robinson und l.evcrctt will go into the second primary to compl?te the number of Re presentatives. More "Educational" Features of the Dis pensary. I'UUittt'H tiilrlliyvuvn': The art ich? of .). !.. Tribble in the I\ti.i.i.i<.i.\< i.i; of last week is worthy of thought, but let Mr.Tribble go farther. Mr. Tribble is mild: he thinks only of the "education al feature.'" Does Mr. Tribble, while in one ear listening to the prattle of edu cated children, in the other ear stein the tide of abuse from the enraged drunken parents of many of those children? He does nor. Mr. Tribble relies upon the economy of one well digested thought, this he has given us in this "educational" article. Every parent capable of reading, every young man, woman and child in Anderson County should read, or have it read to them, Mr. Tribble's article. In the face of his astounding and solemn facts it will then be impossible for any parent to contribute to the drinking fund which requires a sum of $1,50:1,240 that it may. give his child 18 cents per annum toward education. In 1800, the child in Anderson County re ceived in cents for a whole year! Mr. Tribble light fully exclaims, wonder ful! 1 >oes that parent w ho contributed 15 cents toward the drinking fund last year, consider what he contributed to ward the child's soul? Will the influ ence of his intoxication be bought out of the child's life for t."i cents? Will the memory of his enraged face, his besotted appearance, his brutal words and tigerish blows be erased ofl* thnt child's memory plate for 15 cents? What teacher paid any salary can ac complish this? Ask the man himself would he Bubtitute these memories for the ir> cents which his many dollars have placed in the school fund. Ask him, if when his child is dying there is nuy price he would not pay to wipe from the child's eternal mind the mem ory of a father's wrongs. While some may jeer there is many a man who reads this will brush from his eves the first conscience stricken tears he has shed since he shed them over the grave of hjs littlp boy or girl. Is this all/ this is not much?the memory ?r. ft littlo boy's or girl'* tor tured life?tills soon izdik ?vvYiy, AS A , man's soul is hardened, and his cousci- I enco seared by continual drink; but | according to the Word of God upon Which the righteous law of the land is based, that man's own soul is eternally lost. We are told it "shall not inherit the Kingdom of God." While a man is drinking sntan tells him the Bible is not true; it makes him jeer at the word of ;God; he scoffs at the mention of eternal reward or eternal punishment; but let the child die and lie raises his trembling hands to heaven, and says: "I know my child is snfe; I know my child is at rest; I am n had man; God be merciful to me!" He is not drink ing then, and in his grief his face looks into the face of God and reads the truth. There is, Though, another child?the living one?which last year received from the County 15 cents for a year's education, and?bless a winking pro vidence!?will this yenr receive HS cents, as up to last May going on three times last year's amount of drinking money was already received into the treasury. Mr. Tribble, though, wisely makes this inconsequential proviso: "if the enrollment does not exceed what it was in the scholastic yenr 1807?118." We need noMulhali's Statistics to as sure us that births increase with poverty. I f within a third of the year, going on three times the amount of the former years is received into the treasury from drink, what at the close of the year will be the amount of poverty incurred.' Hirths increasing in the ratio will subvert Mr. Tribble s benign forecast. The living child will be again fortunate to receive 15 cents per annum for secular education. For the sake of this child, who may belong to the pauper or tho Governor, how much does tho State supply to save it from crime? The people of South Carolina last year supported crime through an investiture of $1,508,240, for liquor. For education from thnt amount it dispensed $130,000.00. What became of the balance? supporting liquor offices. Had this balance been givepjto the schools, what magnificent manhood and womanhood we might have in South Carolina. Any person with intelligent he"ri?g will learn from the voioes~bf the times not so much tho regret of liberal edu , cation, as the alarming clamor of crime. Tho father and mother free from drink will naturally be mornl parents and in struct their children along moral lines. : The parents, however well educated themselves and disposed toward their children's education, cannot with the : taint of liquor on their breath dispense L holy instruction to* their children. I While people are so blind to the facts and figures such as given by Mr. Trib ble, it shows how little holy instruction they are capable of giving or receiving. ' ! Anderson County has been oxpend < ing $00,000 to $05,000 annually for the support of crime; how much por indi EXCURSION TUE* THE LAS1 I will run a Train to Atlanta on Anderson at Iti.'lO p. m The l'are from recreation before the Winter work ets i the past, and wishing cveryb'jdy a l<?ng I vidnal is it expending annually in the i support of virtue'/ 15 cents. What a ! crime that is in itself. How must it : look among tin- States of the United 1 States? How must it look as ".Moral ! Reform!"' The Dispensary! that is a word which i until late years we associated with : drugs. Is it any difi?rent in modern i days? Drugs are dispensed from this ! place, or these places called State dis- \ pensarics. for a certain small amount j a man is drugged and sent to his fami ly imbeeilic. In this state he is capable of any ? rime within the denunciation | of the Ten Commandments. For the 1 perpetration of this crime the State j assumes the authority of taking away ; this mail's liberty or his life. Who au- ; thori/.ed the State to drug the man, ; then deprive him of his liberty or his! life? Who authorized the Stale to take this man's money from his home, 1 where it wus needed, and put it in the pockets of those who do not need it, i and would be better men in honest posi- ' sitions.' The State has no authority. A few men banded together buy the consciences of others. They constitute . themselves the Slat**,* and under the direction of a diplomatic Leader con- . trol a population of about a million and a quarter souls! Men should not be thus shambled into slaughter; they should assert their manhood. Thousands of men in the; County ami State do not want the dis- ! peusary?they are praying for help to i overcome drink. Thev arc good hearted, honest fellows, but this is the one weakness they seem unable to overcome. They want the temptation removed. It is to be hoped by all who sympathize with them that their votes will control the election of the best men who, in turn, will assist in remov ing the menacing evil. Evil is not a power, nor the shadow of a power, it is simply the lack of good. A few posi tively good men would in a very few years entirely remove the bugbear of darkness and allow honest citizens to go on their way of happiness rejoicing. Mus. Wm. P. Lkk. Piedmont, S.
