The injunction methods em ployea by Governor Ansel may win for him the applause of a fanatical prohibition element, but sane Prohibitionists will realize the danger of such methods running into intoleralec and oppression. In al times since the birth of this republic the courts have granted injunc tions, but in the exercise of this drastic power great caution has been employed. The mere vio lation of a statute the penalty of which is for a misdemeanor has never been regarded so grave as to resort to the use of the most formidable weapon the law can command-the injunction. It is a serious matter, and of the greatest consequence to a citizen to realize that he is de prived of the privileges promised him by the fundamental law of the land. To know that upon the ex-parte statement of per haps some irresponsible person his means of livlihood has been stopped, and to get relief from this tyranny he is forced to de prive himself of his earnings, possibly to the damage of his creditors, and employ counsel that he might be allowed to prove a negative. The applicant for a restraining order makes affidavit that A is a violator of the law, A is given a certain length of time to appear in court to show why the restraining or der should not be made perma nent, in the meantime he must close down to the damage of his business, and in order to stay a permanent injunction it is up to him to prove himself innocent: the principle of "a man is inno cent until he is proven guilty." is reversed to mean "all men are criminals until they prove to the contrary." We are friendly to Governor Anse1's administration, but we cannot approve the course he is pursuing now in his efforts to enforce the dispensary law. There is illicit liquor selling in Charleston. it is a notorious fact, but it will never be stopped by means that deprive citizens of rights promised them in the con stitution of the State and Nation "the right of trial by jury." In stead of enforcing a respect for law it will have a tendency to make the average citizen defy the law. The dispensary law should be enforced in Charleston as well as in any other part of the State, but it should be enforced in an orderly and proper way, keeping in mind the rights of the accus ed as they are citizens and tax payers, as well as those who applf for the means to enforce the law. It might be said that Charleston juries will not con vict, and therefore it is no use to hale a violator of the dispen sary law bkefore -a Charleston jury. There may be something in such a contention, but that does not justify resorting to in junction methods whereby a cit izen is not permitted to face his accuser before a jury of his peers. If a failure to secure a verdict before one jury, then get another case be f or e another jury, and so on until the violators of the law are kept busy in the courts, and make it so expensive for them that selling liquor, is so unprofitable they must give it up. It would be far better to load down the criminal dockets in Charleston that the taxes to run the courts would be so oppressive the tax payers themselves would cry out against the evil of illicit liquor selling, than to deprive one American citizen of a right pur chased by the blood of the foun ders of this government. The injunction method is con traryto the spirit of our American institutions, and it is the very thing the Southern democracy complained of when the United States courts resorted to such methods. Our political leaders abused the Republican party "government by injunction" was one of Bryan's great complaints. Tillman's was especially severe in his arraignment of Judge Simon ton, and our State democratic platforms have denounced in unction proceedings, but when it comes to a- democratic admin istration employing injunction proceedings to enforce a law, entirray local in its effect, not upon the complaint'of the citi zens of the community, but by some non-resident who officious ly urnlertakes to look after- work not connected with the branch of the government in which he is employed on its clerical force. it is not only very inconsistent, but it is repulsive, irriteting, and calculated to result in harm-if continued~it will prove a boome rang, destroying confidence in the administration emploeying such drastic and tyrannous schemes to enforce a law no gra ver than a misdemeanor. If injunctions are to be the future policy of this administra tie temporary closing of ev-e State bank, and oil uill or other ebartered institution im this State: these institutions Call be sht up as tight as a drum upon n atxadavit alleging non-com pliance with the law, and before the matter can be heard great aniae will be done. Then too, when z court grants a tempo Irarr injunction or restraining otid'r, the man stopped in the op eration of his business, even should later the order be vaca ted. has no redress. although his business and his reputation have been damaged. We sincerely believe there would be less cause for resent fullness if Governor Ansel in is determination to enforce the dis pensary law in Charleston. woula send an army of constables, a sufficient number to stand guard at every suspected place, thanr to have the dispensary auditor acting in the dual capacity of book-keeper and detective serv ing or having served injunc tion processes, matters not what the .cost would be, Charleston would have it to pay: if they will dance to illegal mu sic, then make them pay the Pi per out of their pockets. STATESMANSHIP NEEDED. Associate Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court in an address before the Ameri can Missionary Association in session at Cleveland Ohio, last Monday made a declaration which we believe to be true, and inevitable. in speaking of the colored race he said "They are here as citizens. Whatever tem porary restrictions may be place I upon their approach to the bal lot box, the time will come when all barriers will be broken down and they will enjoy everywhere the full rights of citizenship." This declaration of the distingu ished jurist may appear far off to these who have given their at tention entirely to the teachings of the present day politician whose clutch or 'olitical life is I the fanning of racial prejudice, but to the student it is clear that with the educational advance of the negro race the approach to ballot box becomes daily nearer. It wCuld be a reversal of his tory w'ere the educated masses kept from having a voice in the government, and as sure as edu cation is a feature of govern ment, just so sure will the negro race in time have a voice at the ballot box. Justice Brewer is not alone in seeing the advancement toward political emancipation for the ne gro in the South. Senator B. R. Tillman in the constitutionalcon vention of 1895 said" our present constitution so far as it relates to negro suffrage is but tempo rary, as the negro progresses in education, the more formidable will he become in breaking down the obstruction to the ballot box." Therefore in our judgment, in stead of our leading men lectur ing over the country about a mythical conflict of races, it would be more benefi cial and statesmanlike for them to come together and anticipate the future by en acting such laws as will make the problem less difficult for the coming generation. We cannot always profit by our present election machinery, because the negro race is taking advantage of the educational opportunities. GUARD THE WHITE BANNER. It is to laugh when we read the eloquent editorials in the Columbia Record and the South en Christian Advocate in favor of prohibition these days, when but a few months ago, the Record was the recognized organ of the State dispensary, and the Advocate in its last issue before the primary gave the weight of its influence for the retention of the State despensary. but now, without any expression of repen tance, both of the friends of the late but not regretted .State dis pensary, are waxing warm tnd piously eloquent advocating pro hibition. We should like to know the cause of this change? Is it the loosening of the political grip that makes local option, with its prohibition and honestly managed county dispensaries more obnoxious than was the cauldron of corruption on the banks of the Con garee known as the State dis pensary? The Advocate is ex pected to support prohibition regardless of the past attitude of its editor, yet to do so and have weight with the general public an apology is due those it speaks for now, but the Record, the columns of which until the State dispensary shut up, was daily dripping with liquor, and unblushingly defended those in charge of the institution who were living in a cloud of suspi cion, now all at once snatches up Ithe white banner of prohibition to lead its forces, only confirms a prediction made while the war was on, that "when the hogs are made to take their feet out of the dispensary trough, they will crawl under the fence into Ithe pastures of the prohibition ists looking for juicy grass." The State penitentary seems to be turning loose its white in mates in pairsWithinl the past few Idays two pair of white murorers have escaped from that institu tion. There must bc great lax ness somewhere. A prominent physician of Un ion shot and killed a negress yes stheyo the public streets.

Clyburn of Lancaster as principal, Misses Jennie Liles Reid of Spartan burg and Eva Curtis of this town assistants, opened two weeks ago under most favorable circumstances. The enrollment for the beginning is the best the school has ever had. The .pen ing was made quite impressive by an address from Miss Mary Nance of Columbia and presi dent of the School Improvement Association of South Carolina. Miss Nance was so full of her subject that she spoke for about two hours, and held the interest of the audience till the last. Never in the history of Paxville has there been here a more earnest and intelligent lady speaker than she proved herself to be. Young, vigorous and thoroughly wrapped up in her mission-she sends it home to every heart. It was a great source of regret that so few patrons of the school were pres ent. An attempt to give even a synopsis of this speech would do an injustice to her splendid thoughts and beautiful flow of language. At the close, a local associa tion for the improvement of the school was organized with 25 members, Misses Eva Curtis be ing elected president and Jennie Reid secretary. Miss Nance realizing the needs here will re turn first of next month to make another soul stirring address and she desires the presence of every father, mother and public spirited person in the commu nity.- Mr. F. S. Geddings chair man of the board of trustees, has given a great deal of time and attention to this school and has made considerable sacrifice for its success. He hopes soon to see3 results from his untiring labors and a handsome brick building where the old one now stands. The association will begin taking subscriptions for same in the near future.

The success of Col. Bryan's new book "The Old World and Its Ways" gives striking testimony to his hold on the popular mind. It recounts and profuse ly illustrates his recent journey around the world. It has been issued five months, and we are advised that, in that short perion four large editions aggregating 41,000 copies have been caled for. The reports of agents, which have been submitted to us, would indicate that the demand for it is well nigh spontaneous and universal-that it exceeds that for any other book pub lished for the subscription trade since Col. Bryan's book with like success de pends upons no sympathetic element for its strcngh. But it has on the part of the people the enduriug feeling of personal confidence in the great moral and intellectual integrity of its author. It has an equally pronounced admi ration for his brilliant abilities, and the untiring energy that enabled him to cover the world in his noted tour-and to photograph and describe it in his in imitable way. Without offcial place Col. Bryan is everywhere regarded, at home and abroad, as a vital force in American affairs. As a student of men and of government, and of governmen tal conditions, his observations and con clusions profoundly interest the people. Hence the great sale of his book. dc scritive of men and things seen du ring his noted tour around the world and through the Nations. It is vita ied by M> artistic engrav-ing, from photoraphis :aken b~y him or under his su~periitons, representing men. placcs and things that interested him and that specia lly interest every American rea dr.
