The legislature will soon be il session, and the question is fre quently asked, "-What will b done with the liquor problem? There is no doubt that it is i= p6ssible to enforce prohibitio: as long as the Federal govert ment permits liquor shippe int dry territory. and if the prohibi tion law cannot be enforced ther ougbt to be some way to sto the i1w of money from going t other States. The records of th express companies show a tre mendous amount coming into thi State, and the quantity is nc lessened in those counties wher they voted prohibition. Th Evening Record of Columbia, newspaper not unfriendly to prc hibition has the following lead ing editorial in its Monday issue: "Despite the tremendous growtt vrohibition sentimenet and temperanc in abe South within recent years it. impossible to eradicate entirely the ol Southern custom of celebrating tb Christmas holiday with a little toddy < egg-nog. A few items published in sei eral of the weekly papers in this Sta: give an idea of the immense import tios of whiskey, for 'personal use." g this seasn Others of the same soi have doubtless been published but e caped cur attention, while in still otht cass otblcation has been made < Simil impOrmtin TbSpartanburgHeald, forinstanci relates thaS the express company h, rented a special omce in Sutrtanbur Sor the delivery of these~Christma packages, and old- booze is rolling; and'being delivered by the wholes:ide. "Flly a half carload was delivered ye terday." says The Herald, three me being kept busy all day making the d4 liveries, while at the end of tne day work there were a thousand gallns nc delliered. It is estimated, accordin to this prohibition paper, that not le than 60,OO will have been sent out < Spartanburg for whiskey during the tv weeks preceding Christmas. The Sumter Item records that on morninglast week the "train from Wi wington brought in almost an expres carnlof booze for this and othe points." -There were,"says The Iten "three and a half truck loads of th packages with a bir pile of them on th ground beside. The Chester Lantern states the "81.500 is the average daily issue< meyorders written by the Cheste - epefor liquor." The postoffec at tolesays the Chester paper, ar having'al they. can do to handle thi -moyorder business, in~addition to th rulrChrsmase rush of mail matte, 'ndat the request of the porasre Tne wnscey houses doing a mas order business are going after theSout Carolina trade with a vengeance. On of the daily papers, claiming a Stat4 wide circulation in South Carolina carried in its issue of Sunday, Decezz *ber 11, 16 whiskey advertisemnents an -inliieof Sunday, December 18, th same paper carried 11 whiskey advei usmenra, seversi of these occupying balf nage or a page each. LEr US ALONE. The New York Times editc rially jumps on Governor-eleic -Blease because of his views o1 the education of the negro. Gov ernor Blease in his campaign announced that he is opposed t4 the present allotment of thi sohool funds but favored th< giving the money paid by th< negroes to them and that pai< by she whites to the white schools There are many hold ing the samne views, but the con stituttion fixes the distribution o: the school fuds and the gov ernor, nor can the general as sembly change it. At any rat< the people of this State do no need the advice of the New Yorl Times in the matter of schoo fund management. The tw< races have been getting along agreeably, doing all they can foi the educational advancement o. the children of both races, ani will continue to do so withou1 the counsel of outsiders. Gov. erznor Blease has a right to hold what views he sees tit but whet it comes to executing the laws of the State he will be governed by the constitution. The med dling of outsiders has never ac complished any good for the negro, and he has found tha1 .out long ago, to such an extent that the intelligent colored mar does not hesitate to express his unwillingness to heed those whc know not the conditions. RIGHT THIS TIME. The Columbia State of ye.ster day has a timely editorial wiia which we agree most heartily, because it is just. The State argues for an acreased salary for our judiciary, and makes the point "if $3000d was a fair comn pensation for arduous work of the highest and most exacting responsibility ten or twenty years igo rt is meagre now." The iudges of the State -are poorly paid, and unless the legislature~ dloes something to relieve the~ ;ituation the bench is bound to leteriorate to the injury of the masses. We have thought for some time the State was follow ish disposition towards the judil- n Iiary. and if the high cost of living 1 continues, none but nwnn of means can afford to go on tik- bench. s: I "Tostrenrthen thecircuitbench" a does not mean to find men with a fi license to practice aw. it means inding for the bench men of m regritv and ability. who are not. t allied with the great interests and, who can hold the scales of .J ustice with an even hand. South Caro olina is fortunate in the class of men now occupying the bench: they art as clean as can be found t it countrv over. At the same - time none of theim can much longer afford. without a sacrifice. t to hold thc position at the measley: salary. *A Long island woman has prouaised a young man $10M,0 1 if he will not go into the minis- 3 try. Why. this lady can go al- c most anywhere and tind a young V man who will accept her propo sition. t Judging from the prospective e scramble among the Democrats for places when the majority .j take charge of the lower house i d in Congress. We imagine that the new speaker who will prob , ably be Champ Clark, will have to put the curb on or he may e find himself devoured by the a hungry horde. e It begins to look as if Uncle 2 Sam will have to send troops to t s Mexico to make the greasers be t have themselves. President Diaz e is determined to crush the revo eilution. but if it gets beyond him a it would not surprise us in the least for an order to be issued i dispatching soldiers from the s United States to go over the line to put the beligerents to route. t s It must be a (ueer brand of d booze they have in prohibition * Spartanburg and Greenville that . causes a Greenville man to mar e ry a woman in Spartanburg and - not know anything about it. until he irakes up the next I morning to be informed by the. woman he married. But when the fellow did find out what he was up against he hiked out to seek the aid of the cola., to untie him from his drunk-caused c S dilema. C . If the newspaper account of a the killing at Branchville last y Thursday is correct it looks like, S a case of cold blooded murder, but all the same bail was grant ed for the slayer. Life is cheap f in South Carolina when bail is C so easily granted to a man who e shoots another with as little I tprovocation as is alleged Jones ~ S had for shooting Pearlstine. It ~ r is just this sort of thing that Scauses a loss of confidence in the ~ e courts of the State. jIf a bond of $3,O0can be furn-I rfished. those who have tbe kill-f igmania need only apply to e 'sJudge Gary and he will save j e jthem from meditating in jail. n ,jJones. who killed Pearlistine at 11le while Pearlistine gizing to the post nias t ving a disturbance in a -nfice, was released from a - y giving bail in the a 000. Is it any wonder i . xua Carolina has the rep- t utation for "cheap life?" K Clarence Ham convicted ins Florence of the murder of Elihu 1e M. Moye was hanged last Fri- t Sday. The killing took place on I the 28th, of last October and tt 'penalty was paid in less than S two months. The man killed ; was a prominent citizen, and he Ji was murdered in a most foul a manner, notwithstanding this, t t the friends of the deceased per- 1 ifmitted the law to take its courset .hhwas commendable in' tj 1 them, a lesson for the rest of c y the country that should have an Sinfluence in stopping mob law. V SThe State asks the question: ~ I"Could a Democratic Senate, comuposed of Democrats favoringa -a protective tariff on tea be de-' -pended upon to hew to the line, in making a tariff for revenuea -only?'' Senator Tiliman voted -for protection on tea, anid maya probably do so again, but be is in the Senate by virtue of the votes of the people of South Carolina and they have given him free rein to do that whichj his judgment dictates, if hei thinks he is getting his "share gf the stealing'' byvoting for a; tariff on tea and lumber, it isJ with the consent of those who sent him to Washington. I Revise the tariff downward is d the Democratic slogan, but what e: is to be done about the Repre- e: sentatives whose constituents went to go slow about cutting jt] down the tariff on such articlesjr they are especially interested in, p Louisiana will not stand for a very s large cut. nor will the lumber in- h terests want the plane put to shar - ing their product. If the Dem- ti ocrats do not go slow they may t find themselves in the same fix t] the Republican party is in now. t and then will rise up another o; leader who wvill form a new pa rty ti which will only add to the poli- p tical confusion of the country and imake the business interests ua shy and scary,. One of the wisest thiings e-ver p; done by the general assembly of et So-uth Carolina was the creation g of the insurance Department.' 1s This depaLrtment through the energy of Hon. F.

Z. )Lair1, Fanilv PinL are the bes. me Essentials tor Best Results From Sd tific Temperance Instruction. In consideration of the fac bat intemperance is a growing kabit which destroys good mor Is and impairs judgment, mem ory and other natural activities he leading boards of educatioi or some years have deemed i vise to provide in schools, phys ology.; hygiene and other studie iving scientifiic temperance in tructaons. The Woman's Christ an Temperance Union, alway ager to lend v helpin'g hand i his great cause, has stationec me pf her faithful workers ii Vasbington to wa*tch the pro eedings of Congress. Througi ter inlnence, it is now a lav bat a scientific temperance in traction be furnished tinisba< a public schools. Dr. Baker.' speaker of th tnti Saloon League, on one oc asion said taat that the drunk .rds' list of today is not com osed of young men. but the ma ority of our pitiful imbecile re middle-aged men who nevet ad any scientific temperance in traction in their school days, onsequently they have neve1 ealized the physical injuries 01 The essentials for best resulti rom the scientific temperancE astruction are, the enthusiastic eacher, the interested parent nd the helpful union. With the acceptance of a pro osition as a teacher in a ~Sab ath school, secular school ou ny where else. comes a respon?i ility almost as great as that o. minister: for :the principle :nbibed |in the school clin1g brough life and in a large meas .re, determine the destinies o: be pupils. This is just the rea on that the world's best think rs have decided that scientiti emperance instruction is neces ary along with other studies. I hue teacher is in earnest, he o1 he can create such indelible im ressions about alcohol on thE ttle minds, that those import nt truths will never be forgot an. A strange fact about alco o1 is that it first attacks th< ighest functions of the brain bien those subje~ct are easily onquered. Prof. Kraepelin o: [eidelberg University, testec rith alcohol and mathemnatics r nineteen days: at first? hE Lought that with a slight appli a~tion, the brain became more lert, but it soon become blurred nd more blurred, requiring u inch grater amount of time t( dd the columns of figures. A1 2e end of nineteenth day oj isting, the noted mathematici ssertad that alcohol in thE lightest,. degree renders the rain udtit for calculation. After all the ways that wind ied and twist into confusing Llapes, every vocation is foi ~od and He expects good re alts from every work. No other erson has such a convenienl ay of indirectly appealing tc le best nature of a child along ie line of scientific temperance has the school teacher of tc ay: hence the importance o1 athusiastic, God-serving teach es in our public schools. Possibly every one realizes e grave responsibility of a pa. int. Good teachers cion accomi lish very little along the line ol -ientitic temperance without the~ earty co-operation of parents. [ost children dislike to go tc lose places whera they will be Lught ideas which differ from zeir own little notions, and iose parents who have not en .iwh interest in the welfare .of ueir children to urge them to be resent on every occasion where >me(good mpressions might be ade. commit a terrible blunder. blunder- whiich cannot be men d~t as long as life lasts. Every ir-ent wishes his child to be me a prosperous Christian entleman or lady, but this wish not always strong enough to] tuse a parent to live such a te that the children will neces Lriiy be good from heredity. Onue of King David's female icestors was warned by God to >stainl from strong drink. God ?d a mission for David to per run nd his orkcoul no have been done if the King had inherited a taste for alcohol. A. sober man is sometimes perplex ed at his son's intemperance: and wonders where the dear child could have inherited such an ap petite. The secret is that he erdity is not impartial and alco hol does not stop to ask whether it is being taken socially or as a intoxicant: nei'ther does it -stop to ask whether it is a man's or a woman's body that it is being taken into. Social gla-, wine sauces, and stro.- drink for or dinary bad feelings, all leave their effects upon the human, body and fall with mighty stroke upon innocent posterity. Such error are -often committed through ignorarce. but prayer ful parents who thoughtfnlly plan the characters of their chil dren. begin training for God be fore the little ones meet the world and sin face to face The really interested parent will stretch every nerve toward shielding childhood fim the black dragon and will zealously assist teachers and all organiza tions that strive to instruct chil dred as to the physical treach ery of alcohol and of nicotine as well. A W. C. T. U. in a neighbor hood is of incalculable assistance ' to scientific temperance instruc tion in school; the state superin tendent of this department urges that every union take up this -department. Many unions have already accomplihed good work along this line. An occasional lecture on the subject of scien tific temperance is helpful to children as well as adults. The regular course of study in the children's temperance society impresses the physical injuries of alcohol and nicotine. For the union to have children write essays on selected subjects. causes the little ones to think of - points otherwise never would cross their minds. Some unions provide temperance literature in their neigiborhood schools and good has been accomplished along the reading line. Certainly schools and teachers need the fervent proyers of their assist -ig unions. There is a brigbter prospect for the temperance cause in the coming generation thanathere ever has been before. I do not pretend to say that strong drink will be altogether wiped out; for it is likely that it never will, but love, work and laxv combined can largely di minish its use. Murder has been against the law for ages, still it has not been wholly kept down, that is no reason, however, that sensible men would think of dis continuing such a law. Recently Sir Thomas Vezey Strong was without opposition elected Lord Mayor of London. He is an ard ent temperance advocate. With -the world's metropolis - having such a mayor. the infinance is sure to spread and the cause must win. -ELt-EN BEACH1, W. C. T. U., Paxville, S. C. You Must ad this lfryou Wast the Reacest. J.

A WONDERFUL STORY, Concerning the New Presbyterian Church. Told by Rev. A. R. Woodson. On October 9th. 1904, the --new church" was for the first time discussed, and on November 13th at a congregational meeting im mediately after morning service a committee of five was appointed ed to formulate some plans as to mode of procedure and to report next Sanday. The committee was as follows: Rev. J. M. Holladay, D. C. Shaw. W. Scott Harvin,!W. M. 1 'Brockinton and W. C. Davis. A week later this committee reported to the congregation. as follows: MANNING. S. C., Nov. 20. 1904. Your committee, appointed to consider the mode of procedure, ways and means, etc.. towards the building of a new church, in case you determine to build the church, and to make suggestions to this meeting. respectfully -eport: 1. We recommend the building of a brick church costing not more than eight thousand '.ollars. 2. We recommend the printing of a subscription card reading as follows: MANNING, S. C., Dec. , 1904. I promise to give, with the Lord's help. S.. towards the building of a new Presbyterian Church. S. thereof payable Dec. 15th, 1904, and the balance at S............., (monthly or quarterly) during the next four years, and present the same at the usual time and place of public worship. that twelve blue envelopes, suitably endorsed, be placed in said packages in which the contributions shall be made. 3. We recommend that an earnest effort be made to make the cash portion of the subscription on Dec. 15th. 1904, at least $1500. This money can be placed at compound interest. 4. We recommend the appointment of a committee consisting of five men and two ladies to select a plan for said church, said plan to be reported back to the church when finally selected, said committee to have the architect or contractor drawing the plans present at said meeting to answer all questions and fully explain plans. 5. The building committee is hereby directed to employ an architect, not only to furnish plans, but to supervise building. 6. We recommend that when the plan is decided upon the said building committee let the contract of building to the lowest responsible contractor. That if, when all bids are in, the lowest responsible bid is above the cost recommended herein, said com mittee will report back to the Church for instructions. 7. We recommend the appointment of a finance committee of three, whose duty it will be to audit the treasurer's books quar terly; see in person any his books may show in arrears on building subscription, and any member who may not subscribe and urge the same upon him or her. and otherwise aid said treasurer in his duties, and see that all moneys are promptly invested. S. As a business proposition we recommend that the money paid in not be allowed to remain idle, even at 4 per cent., longer than April 1st, 1905. and that the building be commenced on that day: that when the money in hand is consumed in the use the Trus tees of Church property be directed to mortgage such property for balance necessary to complete building. We are firmly convinced that with united effort this church can be easeiy built. . The building committee appointed was Rev. J. M. Holladay, iW. Scot; Harvin, D. C. Shaw, S. M. Reardon, W. M. Plowden, E. C. Horton, and Mesdames E. S. Ervin and W. B. Dickson. The eight recommendations were then taken up seriatim. IThe first seven recommendations were adopted with but little discussion, bat the eighth, relaitive to adopting the recommenda tion to mortgaging the property, provoked considerable discussion. When the v-ote was taken 43 voted to empower the Trustees to mortgage the ..hurch property, 6 voting against it. The next congregational meeting of which there seems to be a record was called February 12th, 1903, when the plans presented by the building committee were adopted and congregation adjourned to meet the next Sunday. At this meeting it was decided that if the building committee could find no contractor to build the church within $,000 to report back to the congregation for further in structions. CONGREGATIONAL MEETING. MAY 14, 1905. A meeting of tbe coigregation was held on Sunday, May 14. 1905, for the purpose of hearing report of building committee, Rev. J. M. Holladay in the chair, and E. C. Horton, Jr., acting clerk. Report of building committee was read by Chairman W. S. Harvin, which read as follows: 1. At a subsequent meeting of the congregation this comn milttee was instructed to advertise for bids for the building of new enurch. ::. If said bids were over $8S,000) committee was to report back to~ church for instructions. :. Thbe committee has complied with the instructions, and bids recei ved are as follows: $15,342.00, $14.750.00, $14.217,00, $10,978, 49. As you see. these bids vary very much. Some of them show ing a difference of as much as $4.363.51. You can readily see that this is w;ild bidding and out of reason. Your committee has gone as far as it can without further instruction from the church. And 1 we the committee take the liberty of recommending the following. I We believe that with judicious management the church can be built by the present plans for much less than the bids are. And we respectfully suggest that the church employ a compe tent superintendent, purchase all material, employ all labor and. build this church itself. By doing this most of the lumber in old building can be used in new building. After the reading of report. Rev. J. M. Holladay offered the following resolution: Since no satisfactory bid has been made for the constructionI 01 new building. and since there is so wide a ditference between the bids submitted. the building committee is hereby authforized to employ a competent foreman and build the newv church: provided,. however, that after the architect has submitted his estimate of the real cost of building. and after the committee has again gone -overt and given a conservative estimate of what the building should cost, and it is found that the building will probably cost more than $9,000O, then the whole matter must be again submitted to the con regation: and provided, further, that no work shall be undertaken until the building committee has funds in hands. A vote was tl.en taken upon this resolution and unanimously carried. There being no further busineg the meeting adjourned. This story of building the church and paying the debt will be coitinued by the Pastor at the morning service on Sunday at the burning of the mortgage. BRING YOUR cJOB W ORK~< TO THE TINES OFFICE.
