we have here.

is dry and has been for nineteen ;
years* he inquired into conditions
there. He says the law is observed

other improvements with low taxes.
He says prohibition has proved a
blessing there.

representing The Mutual Life Insur- i
ance <J0., OI a\. I., was 111 iut: cilj

ton county, and for twenty years has
been one of the most prominent and
best beloved residents of Allendale,
where he resigned upon his removal
to Columbia a few months ago,
eleven offices, religious, fraternal,
and municipal. Quite a strong
article from his pen appeared simultaneously
in the Christian Advocate
and Hampton Guardian not long
since, in opposition to the whiskey
traffic.

BOLD OUTLAW CAPTURED.
Wounded, he Crawls Through Woods
and is Betrayed by his Brother.
Karrisburg, Pa., August 8.?Alfred
Kinard, a Perry County outlaw,
lies seriously wounded in the Harrisburg
Hospital as the result of a desperate
battle in a small mountain
setlement north of this city, where
he yesterday morning attempted to
rob the store of Lewis Myers.
Holding up the entire hamlet at
the point of his revolver, Kinard entered
the store, but was interrupted
by Oscar Heisley, who procured a
revolver and opened fire on the des
perado. Kinard fell after a half
dozen shots had been exchanged,
but was up and away into the thick
underbrush before his pursuers
could capture him. He was badly
wounded in the left thigh, but managed
to hide himself until the chase
was abandoned and then crawled
over the mountain and through the
woods to the home of his brother,!
Amos Kinard, several miles distant. |
Bleeding and almost unconscious,
he begged his brother to take him.
in and hide him. His brother took
him in, but immediately sent for an
officer and Kinard was hurried to the
Harrisburg Hospital.
All Whiskey Contraband.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 7.?In view
of the liquor elections in the twentyone
dispensary counties in the State
on the 17th of August, the weekly
and semi-weekly newspapers of the
State appear to be studying the drastic
provisions of the new prohibition
act more closely, and many objections
are pointed out. Section
one, making whiskey brought into
the State for personal use strictly,
seizable anywhere it is found, is
causing particular concern.
Under this section all liquor is declared
"contraband and against the
morals, good health and safety of the
State," and under this section any
man's private parlor may be raided
by officers and his decanter of wine
on his sideboard seized and confiscated.
Practically all the remainder of the
act, except those sections providing
for the elections on the 17th, maps
out the course druggists must pursue
to be allowed to sell alcohol for
strictly medical and scientific and
mechanical purposes and wine for
sacramental and religious purposes.
It doea- not seem likely that many
druggists will qualify as the requirements
are too tedious and dangerous
even if all were perfectly conscientious
about desiring to stay within
the law.
In the first place a bond of $5,000
is required, and for a violation not
only this bond, but the druggist's license
to do business as a druggist
will be forfeited. No liquors of any
kind, not even on a physician's prescription,
may be sold for even medical
purposes, wine for strictly sacramental
and religious purposes alone
being allowed. Alcohol may be sold
for medicinal purposes only on prescription,
and all these prescriptions
must be filed in triplicate with the
clerk of court, city authorities and
one copy posted in a conspicuous
place.
Apparently the druggists of the
State are fearful that the next legislature
will go further and provide for
eolo ft# Hftiift* nnHpr AArtain rp
IUV OOiV V4 4A^i*v*
strictions by druggists. For a few
days ago at Anderson the State Pharmaceutical
Association, in session at
Anderson, adopted a set of resolutions
saying:
"We put ourselves on record as
opposing any law that tends to put
in the hands of the druggists the sale
of intoxicating liquors or beverages
of any kind, or the responsibility for
the sale of the same. We instruct
our legislative committee to do all
in their power to prevent such legislation."
Another item which has received
little attention, but which is sure to
arouse much comment in the next
legislature, is the cost of these elections
which will have to be shared
by the twenty-one counties already
dry.
"I believe the elections in the 21
counties will cost quite as much as
the last general State election, about
$25,000," said Secretary of State
McCown to-day. "True only twentyone
counties are affected, but the
printing bill will offset the difference,
the entire act as well as the lists of
managers of election being published
in all the newspapers of each of the
counties. There is no appropriation
to meet this expense. They will simply
have to wait on the legislature
next spring providing for this."

WAITRESSES ON STRIKE.
Object to Rule that Beans Must
Leave at 9 O'clock.
A telegram from Marion, Ind.,
says:
For two hours to-day Maj. George
W. Steele, governor of the soldiers
home here, was in a great perplexity
owing to a strike of the waitresses in
the institution. The trouble arose
over an order which requires all persons
not employed in the home to
leave the reservation at 9 o'clock. A
few nights ago some of the young
men callers were ordered from the
grounds and the waitresses filed complaints,
insisting that their company
be allowed to remain after taps.
The demand was not complied with
and just as dinner was announced
the waitresses walked out in a body.
Janitors and others were summoned,
the veterans were patient and the
dinner was finally served. When Maj.
Steele tried to settle the trouble the
waitresses would not hear of any
compromise. They wanted their
company to remain a reasonable
time, saying that the young men did
not and could not come till about 8
o'clock, and it was unreasonable to
limit their stay to one hour. The
matter was finally settled, and it is
thought that Maj. Steele surrendered
gracefully after having been reminded
of his own youth and the longings
incident to it, but neither he nor the
waitresses will talk of the settlement.
Xegro Splits Another's Head.
Spartanburg, August 7.?Ed.
Thomas, a young colored boy, was
arrested to-night on the charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill,
striking J. H. Cooper, another colored
boy, in the head with a rock, fracturing
the skull. The wounded boy
was taken to the hospital, and a
large portion of his skull was taken
out. Pieces of the bone were found
embedded in the brain, and very little
hope is entertained for the boy's
life.
Widow Horsewhips Man.
Asheville, N. C., Aug. 4.?The sud-:
den departure of Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Lawhorn, of Spartanburg, S. C., j
from Canton, where they have been I
spending part of the summer, was
yesterday explained by Mrs. E. Clyde
ivnigni, 01 rtuuitj, u<t., a uug wjuvn
in deep mourning, who is spending a
few weeks at the same house.
They met on coming to Canton,
-1 " j ?4- +v?rt an a
sne ScUU, uuu ucmg a l iuc oai
house, were often thrpwn together
in company with others.
A few days ago, she alleged, she
was insulted by Lawhorn. She did ,
not say of what the insult consisted.
After thinking over what she
could do for twenty-four hours, she
declares she got a big horse whip
and, late in the afternoon, went to
a point within a few hundred feet
of the house where Mr. and Mrs.
Lawhorn were staying and sent a
boy for Lawhorn.
When he came, according to her
story, she gave him the whipping of
his life. Later she called Mrs. Law- i
horn and, in her presence, demanded
and received apologies.
Lawhorn's face was severely lashed,
and this, it is said, was commented
on by several at the time,
though none knew the cause. He
left town on the next train, it is
said.
A horse whip, badly worn, with
several knots to make it more effective,
bore evidence that it had
not been used sparingly.
Mrs. Knight is a young woman of
- i- ~ JA
pleasing appearance, sue is ui a uccidedly
retiring nature and to know
her one would not think her capable
of planning and carrying out such j
a punishment as she told of having
meted out to Lawhorn. She is a
farmer's daughter and has spent her
life near Rome, Ga., coming to Canton
for a part of each summer. Her
husband died recently, and she is
now in deep mourning. <
We never can create a public senti- ;
ment strong enough to suppress the
dram-shops until God's people take (
hold of temperance reform as a part '
of their religion.?Rev. T. L. Cuy- ,
ler, D. D.
The Brotherhood of Man.
"Behold, how good and how pleasant
is for' brethren to dwell to- !
gether in unity!" Does the use of
whiskey bring about this blissful
state of affairs? Just the reverse;
it is a separator of friends and neighbors,
making us live in direct opposi- !
tion to the way God intends us. Does
it fnstpr natriotism? Hear what one !
man says, "There is no place in the
world for a drunkard?a man without
a country." The Bible tells us
there is no place for him in heaven. <
His condition is Indeed pitiful. Perhaps
your vote has helped to make ;
so. Are you going to let him walk i
right into the serpent's jaws, when '
you might save him if you will try? <
"What hast thou done? The voice i
of thy brother's blood cries to me i
from the ground." This is a tines- i
tion still asked, though ages have i
passed. Men of Bamberg, God made <
you for nobler purposes than this. :
Stop and think what you are doing. :
The saddest feature of it is that not i
only are the evils being felt now, but 1
will be long after we are moldering '
in the dust. "Man's inhumanity to
\
man makes countless millions
mourn."
Greed for gain has brought all this
woe upon mankind. There is a law
for the prevention of cruelty to animals;
how about the helpless babes
and women? Can you license the
destruction of these?
"Hear the children cry for pity from
the cruel heart of greed;
See them trampled into silence by the
monster while they plead!
Be quick, my patriot, brother, to the
recoup lpt nc snppH
The whiskey shops must go."
You do well, Mr. Editor, to warn
the people against patent medicines.
It is the alcohol in them that buoys
up the patient and deludes him into
thinking he is being helped, when in
reality it is killing him. Alcohol is
like the deadly vampire which fans
the victim with its wings, lulling him
into insensibility, while it sucks his
very life blood.
One of your correspondents tries
to confine drinking to the negro. This
will not do. Whiskey i s no respecter
of persons. The most intelligent,
the bravest, the best, alike fall
before this relentless god. Perhaps
some of you are resting in fancied
security, thinking your children are
small and in no danger. Young
America catches on to the vices very
soon, especially in towns where they
are unemployed. "A busy man has
only one devil to contend with, an
idle one a thousand." A dispensary
can't be run without men any more
than an oil mill without seed. It
may be your boy will help to swell
the ranks. It will be too late then
to cry.
"A prudent man forseeth the evil
and hideth himself, the simple pass
on and are punished."
Helen Keller, who is deprived of
the faculties of seeing, hearing, and
speaking, consequently her other
faculties are keener and more sensitive
than ours, says: "I believe that
we will draw nearer and more near
the time, when no man can live at his
ease while another suffers."
"Choose ye this day whom ye will
serve," God or mammon? You can't
serve both. Decide quickly. There
is not much fight in a soldier who
does not know which side he is on.
"Democrat's" view of the situation
is unique. It seems that this
subject provokes thought. When
people begin to think, they will soon
begin to act. '
"Halts the Christ kingdom, with
conquest so near?
Thou art the cause, then, thou man
at the rear,
Move to the fore."
The dispensary has the exclusive
?ale of whiskey and can palm off
anything on the public; the profit
feature making the temptation irres'stable.
Judging from the effects
the "chemically pure" must be vile
stuff.
Many of your brothers have fallen
by the wayside. Are you going to
hold yourself aloof, like the priest
and the Levite, or will you, like the
good Samaritan, with your vote, assist
him to arise and try to win him
back into the path of sobriety?
Acccording to Milton the devil was
cast out of heaven on account of his
ambition. Ever since he has been
brooding over his lost paradise, and,
as a revenge, goes about in the earth
trying to change good into evil. From
the beginning this serpent which is
more subtle than any beast of the
field, has brought woe in his
wake. The mighty conflict in which
we are soon to engage is no child's
play. We are going to battle with
the devil who is second in authority
only to the Deity. Thousands of vassals
stand ready to do his bidding.
See this Prince of Darkness as he
stalks through the earth, shaking his
sable plumes, and muttering vengeance
on the inbahitants of the
earth. .A formidable opponent, one
to be dreaded. Can we conquer him?
Yes. There is one way?only one.
Listen. While a student at Columbia
College, I heard Dr. Darby, who
was then president, relate a dream
that had so great an influence over
him that it changed the whole trend
of his life, transforming him from
a giddy youth into the polished,
Christian gentleman that he was. He
dreamed that a mighty monster was
advancing towards him. Compared
with this giant, he was a mere
pigmy. As the monster bore down
upon him, threatening to crush out
his existence, beads of sweat came
upon his brow. In mortal terror he
breathed the name "Jesus." Instantly
the monster receded. If he
forgot the source of his strength, the
giant would return, threatening him
as before. There is one mightier
than the devil. We can conquer by
trusting in Him. Remember the
magic name "Jesus." This is the
talisman that will lead you to victory.
Column after column has been devoted
by the papers to the interest
Df the devil. Don't allow this to disturb
you. "An empty wagon always
makes the most noise." This will
vanish as the mists before the sun.
By faith Joshua compassed the walls
of Jericho and they fell. These walls
built up by the devil and his allies
will fall. Even now they are tottering.
"Fear not, be of good courage."
Jehovah himself leads you. Let us
work while it is day.
Swift the day of life is passing,
Soon will fall the shades of night;
Urge we then the glorious conflict,
Battling hard in love's great
might,
Burst the tyrant bands asunder;
Set the wretched captive free;
Let rejoicing wives and mothers
Shout "the year of jubilee."
Allow me _to congratulate you,
citizens of tfamoerg, upon your
prompt action in organizing a law
and order league and upon your
avowed determination to enforce the
law. It rests with the law-abiding
citizens whether prohibition will be
a farce or a force. The blind tigers
are going to try their strength. The
more liberty you give them, the more
aggressive will they become. An
ounce of prevention now is worth a
pound of cure later. Nip lawlessness
in the bud. Prompt action will
save time, money, and perhaps blood.
The smaller towns should do likewise.
