Nothing further has been heard of the petition asking for an improvement in the passenger servico to and from Conway by the addition of another train in and out of Conway. We presume the railroad people are giving this matter their careful consideration, or else the petition has been pigeon holed to sleep the sleep that knows no waking. ^ - m 11 1 l_ ! ? n .-1. i oenaior unman nas won nis nguu against the confirmation of the negro Crum as Collector of thePort of Charleston. When the Senator first began his fight no one dreamed that he would be successful, but his perseverance won for him the support of his colleagues, who lent a helping hand, and their friends, the enemy, were routed horse, foot and dragoons. . THE WHISKEY QUESTION. The fight between the Prohibibitionists and the Dispeusaryites iu the State Legislature waxed hot and hotter and the end thereof is not yet. At one time it seemed as if this question would block all legislation, prevent the passage of the supply bill and necessitate the calling of an extra session to complete the unfinished work of the regular session, but this sore affliction was happily averted by the Dispensaryites openiug the way for the trans-! action ol regular business by yielding to the demand of the majority and allowing the bill providing for State wide prohibition to pass its third reading in the House. So far as that body is concerned it goes on record as favoring the prohibition of thesaleof intoxicating liquors as a beverage in the State. The bill, ' as it passed tho House, does not provide for absolute prohibition but legalizes its sale for certain purposes, such as scientific, mechanical and medicinal. These exceptions makes tho bill fatally defective as under its provisions it makes it possible for the establishment of a drug store at every x road or in every man's fence corner where liquor can be lawfully purchased for modi r?ir?rvl nnrnnen nt. nnv flow /-v? J' JV/ M V ?? J V4U J U1 night. Even worso than that?th( sacred hours of the holy SabbatV day can be desecrated under the ef fective plea of "for medicinal pur poses" by those who are disposed t( do so, and as long as the sellei tracks the provisions of the bill, thi law can do him no harm, for he ii entrenched strongly behind a "doc tor'& prescription" and the plea o "for medicinal purposes." We al appreciate the dangers of the bil and recognize the result. Thore wil be more persons suffereing fron stomach ache and other ills of whic flesh is heir to as to excite the won der and contempt of these wh sincerely desire to have the unsir lied principles of law and orde maintained. Who can question th motives of the doctor in writin the prescription under the rules c evidence except the doctor himsell 'in this respect he is an autocra his judgment is accapted by th court as infallible as the law and th gospels We do not wish to pose as the a< vocate of whiskey selling and drai drinking. We only want to c away with all substitutes and mak< shifts with which politicians ha\ shrouded the issue and make it in possible for evil disposed persons 1 evade the penalties of the law and ou rage decency. We want a la that will deny those occupying a hi^ position in society's giddy whirl i their morning cocktail, as well { takeaway from those who deb and dig for their daily bread the dram. If it is crime against mo ality and couples our social fabr with the sting of infamy, if it rot virtue of its purity and truth of ii sanctity, for those who tread th lowly and obscure paths of life to indulge in that which takes away from them their manhood and mars the linage of their Creator, wo insist that it is a greater crime for those who occuoy a more oxhuultod plane in lifo's field of usefluesstodo so,because their itifluenco for good or evil upon society, upon morality and upon their fellow men is greater and their penalty for the violation of the code of morality should bo far moro severe, hence we argue that absolute prohibition of the sale of whiskey is the only logical way of dealing with the whisko> question. J W Ogilvie. Coiiccrnln jr Mrs Deitrlck's Meetinirs j'ho gratitude of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Conway and Waccamaw church are due friends in the various communities that have sofeordially responded to their requests for appointments for meetings for Mrs Emma G Deiti ioh who will begin her tour in the State with the meeting at Home wood February 18. After week full of work, in some cases two meetings a day, Mrs Dietrich will go to Georgetown county, ihenco to the interior of South Carolina and on until a six weeks tour has been finished. The reading public will do well to noto tho appointments and attend which ever meetings that aro within reasonable distance. Mrs Deitrich is one of the prominent workersof thoNew York Union. She is the President of the Niagara county W C T U., and State Evangelist. She is an interesting, forceful talker and gives full emphasis to the "thus saith the Lord" of the Scriptures regarding strong drink. She was recommended to the South Carolina Union by Mrs Helen L Bullock when the latter was unable to answer a call for her services in IdOS, and by her charm of manner and faithful work in the forty-six places she lect ured won tho favor of State and local workers. It is something of a coincidence that sho should begin her work this year at the last place she held a meeting last year. It is greatly regretted that Mrs Deitrick cannot lill tho expected appointment at Seven Mile church, arrangements having boon definitely settled for places too far in the opposite direction to make it convenient for her to return with her limited time before it was known that the above church could be obtained for her. .

Mr Gaston Allen is reported very ill at this writing. Several of the boys went to court last, week but were disappointed. There was a box supper at the school house here on Friday night, February 5th, the proceeds of which will be used to paint the school house We are glad to see the young people taking an interest in school improvement work. Miss Fannie Belle Littles, the assistant teacher in tho public school here, has returned home, and Miss Lillie Wright will teach the remain , ing part of the term. The kitchen of the Rev Tl B Roberts was entirely destroyed by lire on Saturday night, February 13th. No one knows for certain how the (ire started, but Mr Roberts says he ? left the kitchen at half past nine o'clock and went into the other 1 house, which was thirty feet or " more from the kitchen, and after a - few minutes retired to rest, and by ^ the time he was asleep he was alarm ed by Mr Manassa Cannon, whc lives near by, and was told of his B trouble. Further alarms wert s made and a large crowd gathered t( . the scene and saved all except the ( kitchen and what was in it. Then was near twenty bushels of peas ' some pork and cotton seed in ai I out house room and all were destroy II ed. By faithful work by all presen n the dwelling was saved.
