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

’Phone No. Gj
The interest displayed Sunday by
the people of Branchville in the elo
quent addresses of Rev. J. L. 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. This oan bo accomplish
ed in Augnst if every voter will do
his doty then and afUrwsrds—first
by voting whiskey ont end then by a
oomhined and determined eflort to
keep it out.—Branchville Journal.

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
