I Manning has suffered more from the curse of whiskey drinking than from all other evils combined. This statement will be borne out by refer ence to her past history, and there is scarcely a homein the the town but c bas felt the forked fangs of the veno mons demon. Yet these people still hug the deadly devil to their hearts, refusing to lend encouragement to any efforts to shackle the-mighty t) , - monster, and the more deadly and of. ten has been the bite of this serpent in any family the more earnestly itc seems to us the desire is to nurture this destroysr of heaven, home, and orthepast few years, owing to the o t] active efforts of a Good Templars lodge in this town, there has been less whiskey drinking among our young men than in any other country town in the State. But for the past two years this lodge has been disorgan e ized, and the effects of this disorgan ization are perceptible. Mothers, fath era, do you know that your boy one - light lst week was drinking whiskey -that same boy of yours whom you tbink too goc and noble to do an evil thing? He got in -lively compa ny, ihiskey was produced, and what Ul be the fate of those young boys t Heaven only knows. . When it was our pleasure and priv M lege to have the instruction of the boixys and girls of this town, we en-t ~deavored in season and out of season timpress on their minds lessons of morality and temperance, and we were Tihundred fold repaid by the grand t iaparent results, but two or threec jears have rolled by since then, the r;eoept was overcome by tempation -a~d surroundings, and last week some of these boys, noble boys too, were ~under the influence of whiskey. Oh' C this isa terrible evil, one that must t b-e fought day and night, the gigantic ' imi=ter evil of the world, and our mramust not expect us to stand al~y by and-see the dread destruction eigen among the young. M; emperance societies, as we have C Whken said, are not in our opinion for " b iieinebriate. Few men who once con- h: aat the whiskey habit ever pernma- P aently give it up.

What will you do about it? s] TIT XA1WS INAUGURAL a Benjamin R Tillman last Thursday took the oath of office, and is nowe Goernor of the commonwealth ofa ~South .Carolina. His inaugural ad- si dress is an able paper, giving evidence P of deep and careful study of the needs and interests of the State, and show- ~ ig conclusively that Mr. Tillnman has a mind of his own and intends to be Governor in fact as well as in name. e had intended to comment edit-t orially on his address, but instead have decided to publish it in full, which we have done in supplemente form. The address should be carefullya read by every one. This is an age of education inpolitics, and no one at all t interested in the welfare of the State t -.shuld fail to read such 'papers care fully. Read and study important po litical problems, so that when the time to vote comes the ballot may be cast y intelligently. 'Hon. E. J.

The National Alliance adjourned Ionday night.

If reports are true the election of xen.

A Good House to Deal With. Financial embarrassments are still eing reported. No longer than last riday V. & A. Meyer, of New Or ans, the third largest cotton firm in he United States, suspended pay ent and asked their creditors for n extension of time on their paper The cause of this is the slowness of ollections, the low price of cotton, nd farmers holding their cotton for igher prices. The Levi Brothers, of Sumter, are )rtunately situated. They are not )rced to ship cotton, neither are they ompelled to buy cotton to keep in rith these large cotton firms, in order ) keep their credit intact. They buy tton and pay the highest market rice for it, but do so with their own apital, and can afford to hold it until 3e price goes up. These tremendous tilures that are occurring every day n only effect such men as are forced ) do business on a borrowed capital, ut with a firm like the Levi Brothers 3at have a solid cash capital these ilures prove a great benefit. It gives iem a chance to take advantage of y special bargains that may be put n the market, and by taking advan tge of these opportunities they nec 3sarily buy in large quantities. Their iles must be made quick with ex eedingly small profits in order to ispose of their purchases. The Rittenhouse woolen mills, of lassaic, N. J., failed last week, and ,eir stock had to be disposed of; so ie Levi Brothers finding that they auld save their customers a very Lrge percentage invested in a number f cases of their goods, and will sell 301 at a small margin, so there need e no excuse for their friends to be -ithout woolen goods this winter. Our readers wil do well to visit iese gentlemen. They are certainly' ide awake to the needs of the peo le, and they never miss an opportu ity to buy goods so as to draw cus >mers. They are constantly making yntracts with the largest houses of ie North and WVest, and in a few days ie of the firm will start for that reat western metropolis, the city of hicago, to complete the greatest deal iat he has ever been in, and one that romises many profitable returns. The Gr~and Lodge of Masons. ANDERSON, DeC. 9.--The Grand odge A. F. M. of the State of South arolina, was called to order by most orshipful Grand Master Divver, at igh 12. A full representation was resent. The minutes were confirm I and committees appointed. A ibute of respect was paid Brother .Doty, late senior grand warden, id WV. D. Gaillard, past senior grand acon. The lodge will be draped in ourning, and all members wear a iitable badge during the session of e grand lodge. Dr. L. WV. Nettles was appointed by e Masonic Grand Lodge ~on the moittee on charters and dispensa ns. The matter of greatest inter t considered by the Grand Lodge us the proposed amendment, of bich notice was given at the last immunication, to so change the con itution as to make Charleston the rmanent place of meeting. The amendment was speedily dis >sed of and was lost by a vote of 64 59. On motion of R. W. Bro. >hn F.

W . m F w O OMulatn HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MRS S. A. MrLES. We give a few suggestions for mat ing Christmas presents, and hope they may be of benefit to some of our readers, for often it is not the gift but the thought whicb comes with it that we value. Some piece of handiwork from a dear friend is more prized than a costly memento would be from one who we feel gives becausc it is "the fashion" or in return for or expecta tion of a like favor. First we will tell of a head rest we are making for a very dear old lady friend: Make two cushions exactly alike, each about eight by thirteen inches filling with cotton to the thickness of an inch. Cover with dark red cashmere and work with yellow floss a pretty open design on one side. Procure sixteen small brass rings, cover them with double crochet, using yellow split zephyr, tie a heavy tassel of the zephyr in four of these, sew the re maining twelve along one side of each cushion at equal distances-a little more than two inches-apart, lace to gether with half-inch yellow ribbon, or a cord and tassel of the zephyr, letting the cushions hang two and one-half or three inches apart, fasten one of the ring tassels to each of the four lower corners, and your head rest is complete. For a Christmas gift nothing is nicer, as it is very suit able for any friend who may own a chair. Perhaps some may like to know more about making these crochet rings, which are used in fancy work in a great many ways, and if pur chased ready-made the cost is consid erable. The rings used are the small brass ones which may be bought fox two or three cents a dozen at fancy goods or harness stores. Rope linen, silk, or even wool may be used in cov ering tbem. Hold the ring between thumb and forefinger of the left hand, put the hook through the ring, catch the thread and draw it under, forming a loop over the needle; next, put the hook over the ring, take up the thread and draw it through the loop. Now, with the book draw thread through the ring, making two stitches on the needle, take up the thread and draw over the ring, through these two stitches. Repeat until the ring is covered. To form a tassel or fringe, cut silk of the length and thickness desired, put it through the ring, and tie snugly on the outside, close to the riug. HANGING PocKET FoR GLAss.-DC cidedly unique in the way of hanging holders is this cylindrical pocket for the safe keeping of glasses, and it may be made so easily that one might well affoid at this holiday season to present one to every friend to whom they would be of service. The model was made of a remnant of broad watered ribbon with a satin stripe on each 'edge; it was a rich pansy-purple in color, and the lining was of inex pensive lining satin of a yeilow shade; together they made a warm glowing, bit of brightness. Fur a foundation cut a piece of card board six inches wide by ten inches long, lay thelini ng-seven by eleven inches-smoothly over one side, fold the edges over to the other side and baste them securely, draw ing it very closely; baste the ribbon on the other side and neatly overhand the edges together all around with fine silk; lap one end unevenly overI the other, as shown, and tack them together; take a round piecc of card board that will just fit inside, cover it on both sides with the satin, slip it into position at the bottom of the :ase, and fasten it in just where it will allow the glasses to peep out at the top so they be readily taken out when wanted. On the overlaping mnd (before putting together) em aroider or paint "A safe eye-opener," mnd near- the top of the case pass a t silk or chenille cord around and tie it .n a knot at the back, and a few .nches above the top tie it again in a >ow with loops and ends. Such holders about the house are iot only convenient, but a positive v iecessitv if one wvoald avoid being ~ :onstantly harassed by the provoking ~ :ropensity of all glasses to lose thenm- t ;elves when most urgently needed. s )ne soon learns the comfort of being sure where to find an "eye-opener," 1 mud the habit of dropping them al rays in the holder as soon as removed s quickly formed. Small pieces of silk, velvet, or brocade, if tastefully urranged, wvould make a pretty cover;. mnd narrow ribbon might be subs:i uted for the cord-or a gilt or silI- I rered chain to suspend-'it by and gilt >r silvered pendants at the corners vould be lovely for a velvet or plush- L ~overed pocket; the lettering would hen be done with gilt or silver paint.
