THE MAN WITH THE LOAD. -' Compnnion Piece to Edwtrd Mark* b&m'a "Mao with the Hoe.”| Sowed bjr a wei^h^ o? fiery fluff, he leant Against the hiuhing peet and gtzea •ronnd! . Besotted emptiness is in hi' face. He bears a load that ttili may get him down. Who made him doll to shame and dead to pride, A thing that cares not and that neret thinks, Filthy, profane, a consort for the pig? 'Who looeemd and let down that stulblv Jaw? Whence came the scum ndbering to those lips? What was it clogged and burned away his brain* la this the thing the Lord God made and gave To have dominion over sea and land; To love and to be loved; to propagate And feel the passion of Eternity? la this the dream He dreamed who shaped the suns And pillan-d tne blue tirmament with light? Down alt the stretch of Hell to its last gulf There is no shape more hideous than tins— Hore tougusd with proof that Daraiu didn’t know— For where In all the world of bintisb beasts la one from which thia monster might have come? His h.ood fiowa in the frail, disfignrtd babe O’er which the pale, heart-broken mother bends. Bat what to him are those hot tears she sheds. What cares he for the taunts hia chil- .u dren bear, The htfngry cries they raise; their twisted limbs? Through this dread shape humanity is shamed, Profaned, outraged, dragged down and brought to scorn— Made to inhale fames from the slime he spews And hear him jest at Virtue and at Goi. O masters, lords, and rulers id our land, Most this foal nolectsm still Be tolerated in an age when men Grasp power from the circumambient air And speak through space across the, roaring gulfs? Must ibis vile thing be left to wed at will And propagate his idiotic spawn, A ‘harne upon the age in which we live, A cartte ou generations to be born? O masters, lords, and rulers in onr land, How may \e hope to reckon with this ••man’? How get along without the vo'ehe ruts When there are public offices to till? How will It he with candidates when he No longer hangs upon tha reeking bar Prepared to tight, to stab, to.murder, And to vote for him who furnishes the drinks? w —[ d. E.

Barley together with the generous contribu lions they made betokens the fact that a great many af the citizens de plore the eyil of drink, and will try to find a remedy They will have an opportunity at the polls shortly to my whether they will retain this enrae or not. Worte than the present evil is the thonght of what it means to the boys of this town to hare this temptation always before them. We hare in mind the thonght of a bright face lad ol about eleven or twelve years who was on the street drank a few days ago. Another sad picture oomes to a mind. Ons Saturday evening not long ago as we were on onr way home, a little chap about four years old, a blue-eyed, golden haired intelligent looking baby boy was out with his fotlier. As ws passed our attention was drawn to tho child by hearing him crying to his fether; “Papa, give me some more whiskey/* The father’s reply was: “l shall not, I want what 1 have for myself!” What kind of a man will that boy make? Reared in a town where he can grati fy the tastes implanted by his father, it is not hard to tell what the end i/ill be. The wretchedness the mother must feel when the father comes reeling home now will be doubled as she sees the boy following in his father’s footsteps. Better in deed is the hour when the cry ot an guish wrung from a mother’s heart. M WouId that my child had died when he was a baby?” Looking at the hundred or more boys who are on the streets every day, no parent is safe in saying that his child will not he affected by this temptation. Them is no safeguard so seoare as tbs absence of temptation, and this can be thrown around them only by prohibition.

OVER THE PRESS AND STANDARD fiALTEUBOilO. - - - t*. O. MAY FLOWER ON WHISKEY. Walterboro, March 10.— Editor Press and Standard: Will you allow me space in your paper to reply to an article in last week’s issue. I We see that the young man who indulge in drinking is calledice young man.” , For my life, I fail to see where the drunkard is due the honor of being called a nice; young man. We see people going to church drinking, and sometimes, associating with young ladies. Coi|ld they be xalled nice young men? No, ao. The nun has lost self- respect and respect for others. Could I believe that of nice young men? No. My advice to the young ladies is to leave the young man who takes alcoholic drinks alone. This - would be fine treatment, simply because the most young men will take his •sweetheart’s advice rather than the advfqp of his mother. The use of alcohol is the worst kind of intemperance, which has been a terrible curse to the American people. Does aclohol produce bodily heat? It is often claimed for alcohol that it possesses a special advantage in produc ing bodily heat This is an error in the ordinary form in which it is taken. Alcohol Towers the temperature of the body. We feel warmer, but we are deceived, for we are •actually cooler. We are told that alcohol destroys our energies instead of building them. Excessive drinking causes the brain to act dishonestly and often leads to insanity'. The use of alcohol in any form is not necessary for the human body. Think of the joy of possessing a good body, well developed by the use of good food and pure water. Strive to treat your body so that it wiil be rich and clean. I he use of alcohol in any form tends lo remove one from a position of security to the border-line of danger. When once the habit is formed and the individual realizes his condition he may battle royally and earnestly, but the chances are against his success. It is safe to pre diet that usually drink will win the struggle, deplorable and unwelcome as such a fact is May Flower. _ ^ THE TAFT CABINET.
