is coming in at all I am told. Some
say :that so long as thle farmers can
get this price they can afford to
raise it and others say that if it is
kept off the market that it will bring
more. Others say that as long as the
planters are owing all or part that
they can not aford to hold and if they
can get ten cents the best thing :to
do is to sell at that price.

DRUNKENNESS INPUBLICLIFE
Publicity Has Done Much to Remove
a Former Evil.
Presbyterian Standard.
The Standard adverted recently to
the fact that the newspaper profes
sionl had long obeyed the unwritten
law that' drunkenness and other kin
dred animal vices in public men were
not to be published to the world, but
that the men themselves should rather
be shielded by the charity of silence.
But public opinion has been changing
so rapidly on this subject tha. we may
as well consider the unwritten law
repealed. . A .few dayc ago, Mayor
Woodward of Atlanta; *n a public
discussion before th emayors of Ameri
can cities, disgraced himself and the
city of which he was the official rep
resentative, by a disgustirg -li-play of
m: xication.
The newspapers promptly tock up
the mat:er and were merciless in
their criticisms, the nort-hern press
fi:rst thea -he southern, including the
Atlanta press. It seerns that Mayor
Woodward is a notorious drunkard
and has been near impeachment be
fore now. It seems hardly possible
after this that he can expect to be
elected to public office again.
The o?her day Senator Overman,
Iin a 'public address made the remark
'that no one could be elected to con
gress from North Carolina or to the
bench who was a drinking man. .That
is accepted as simple truth. T'he peo
ple are requiring of their public ser
vants that they should have sober
brains for the 'transaction of the pub
lic business. And the newspapers.
also public servants, are feeling now~
that it is their duty to the people
whom th ey serve to forewarn them
against electing drunkards to office.
When we compare the old times with
the new in this regard there has been
an immense' change for the' better.
Wec should lose all our reverence for
some of the most notable public men
of the past if we should measure
them by our present standards as re
gards drfinkenness and its allied forms
of vice.
We might no-t have to go so very
far back when drunkenness even in
the ministrv- was a venial offense.
One of the grievances which the cot
unies hiad agains: thle mother country
on the score 4f relinno was the inc
-hat t'o many of the "younger sonls"
of the ''ld British families were given
live- were thnse of rolliicking, rotster
ingz squires, rather : ian those of the
gospel minrs:ry. But that age has
p)assedl away. The tutors and col
lege professors of a former time were
inclined to dr.mkenness and now a
spree would be a cause for summary
dismissal from any school or college
in the land. The business and pro
fessional world has learned the same
lesson. The employer has no longer
patience with a drunken employee.
In sonme circums-tances, like the work
of the engineer on the train, drunken
ness is near akin to crime. It would
see~m that the man who corrupts his
brain with strong drink is about to
ver t 'r i vs an ' I' c l peti:io for his
And wi:: the uirebuked repeal of
the od unwritten law :hat public men
should 'e shielded from public
knowledge of their private lives, the
threat hangs over the drunkard's ca
reer and the inducement. nar the
necessity, for keeping onc's brain in
good repair. Publicity once invoked.
may d) what it has done in other cases
and cure the evil, cer:ainlv those who
have anything to lose by the exposure,
and practically prevent men from ever
forming the habit.,. even presenting
powerful inducements to those under
the dominion of the drink-"habit to
break off their chains. If so, pub
licity with all it has accomplished in
the way of the reformation of indi
viduals and of states, will never have
done a more beneficent work.
"Listen to De Band."
Whenever the announcement is
made, the posters appear, and the in
spiring strains of "de band" is heard
coming down the street accompanied
by the appearance of :he gayly dress
ed "Minstrel" men. friends of the va
rious attractions in this lIne begin to
gather from their homes and place
of business to greet acquaintances
among the company and *get busy"
at the advance sale. Probably :here
is no more capable musician or
courteous manager among this par
'ticular line of attractions who visit
Newberry each season than J. A. Co
burn of the Great Barlow Minstrels,
better known to his intima:e friends
as 'Cobe." The polite consideration
and pleasant greeting to a'! he meets,
the well known fact -that he will only
tolerate, a clean, snappy and first
class performance, together with his
efforts to please in the daily con
certs is a satisfaction and pleasure to
all who contemplate a-tending the
performance, and is undoubtedly a
strong assett in the popularity of that
company. They will be at Newberry
on September 28th.
