F, .. PICKENS SEN INEL Eutered April 23,'1908 at Pickens, S. C., as second olass znattcr, under act of Congres of March 8, 1879. VOL XXXIV PICKENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1905. N039 Z'KE ON DISPENSARY He Gives Plain Facts on tile Subject. THE DRINKER HAS -HIS SYMPATHY But He Jumps On Our "Educational Promoter" With Both Feet---Has Good Reasons, Too. By the time this gats into prir.t we suppose the Pickens branch o South Carolina's jag proIotor will -again be in full blast, and fiends of the dispensary say that busint.ss will "pick up." Probably it will in police circles, but wo doubt if any fair minded person will seriously claim that it is of any benefit to the 5'nITo s i nterests of the town. A; 'her tte of South Carolina may feel p of the monopoly it has on the wiskey business, and now if it.would monopolize the ferti;izer interests, it might make it a big paying concern, for one is rotten enough to furnish material for the other, and taken together it would be a sweet scented affair. The way the press df the State is pitching into the thing there must be something "dead tip the branch" and no one can doubt it, for it is a "stench in the nostrils of docen cy, and smells to Heaven." Some one has said that whiskey is all right in its place, bit, its place is in hell. That is prett.y tough on the devil, for if all reports are true, he has plenty of trouble now, but if a dis pensary was started in the infernal regions, and.all the imps of satan should get a jag ov at the same time, it would sure be a bell of a place. Oh, but this dispensary business is a great scheme. A regular old conscience greaser. To fill a man up on liquid dam nation and . (hen case t he con science, by devoting a portion oi Vie profits to pay the school master. Educate the boy at the expense of his father's manhood, and when S the boy arrives at the age of ina turity, ha will respect his State for it, maybe. Now, citizens of Pickens county, aint you proud of it? You can't have compulsory education, but your State allows you to run a whis key dive to help educate the young. 4. Aint that pretty near ''whipping the devil around the stump?" There ho gos-a tattered old soak-walking on his uppers, ai rum blossom onm hiis-.-note, he stag. gers up to tho hole in the wall and calls for a pintI of. the liquid educa tor. It's a pretty spectac!e, iiii't it? No thing wrong about it, good1 Christian people, ho is only paving his prop~ortion of the tax to edui cate your ch ildren, and you have no right Ao leick if some night your boy combss homrne "three sheots in theo windk' with a pint bottle in his pocket. You favored the thing. But foi~ God's sake don't be a hypoorht, and go down on your knees a n&ray that a safeguardl he thrown am and your son, whuile you are u p11olding the cause oi his rui'n. - We are noi kicking against the1 man addicted to the use of lhquor. He has out sympathies and we are sorry for fuim, and wish it were in 'A our powir to help him break amvway from phe habit, and in the majoriy of cades fully believe that ho is Imore to be pitied than blamed. But h w a professed Christian can ease h' s conlscience on the subject and s .ill claim to be consistent kido' gets away with us. Don't try to;1greaise your conscience by clalimtg it is the bettor way to control\ it. You have to ad mit th atI the trg9lic is right, or it is wi'ong. Thier# is no0 half way ground. Now, if It /is right, why not allow the ciiens to engage in it' the 5a me as oth<G business? If it is wrong, why. does (he State engage in it? Why does 1 cesengage in it? Bless us! P1gking pockets 1s wrong, and i no doub; profitable to the crook, if .he don't get caught at it, but the . S tate det 't engage in it, neither does Pickens.

This name marksea sad and memo. able event in the history of the Jeople of God and-, we may properly ay, in the history of civilization. Ia he midst of groat signs and wonders he children of Israel had boon led ut of Egypt by the hand of Moses he man called of God unto this groat . vorkc. T1he overwhelming evidence f Jehovah's presenco and fav->r was onst antly seen mn "the pillar of cloud iy day" and "the pillar of fire ,by Light". The evident purpose of God was to lead his chosen people as dir. oily an.i speedly as possible into the und of promise ty Abraham an d his tescen dants. When this great multitude of God avoredi people reached Kadlesh Bar ea, 12 reprosentative men-one from mlac tribe-were sent to "Search the and of Cane an and make report to Ioses and the people." They travers. id the land throughout and returnod ;o their brethren at the encampment. L'en of those men-the majority-re. 3orted in substance as follows: The and wvhither we went is indeed a and tyhich "floweth with amilk and loney." Grapes of Eschool and >Omlogranates and flg8 we have yrought to show you the "fruit of the and." Nevertheless the people be trong that dwell in the land, Lild the cities are wailed and very treat." All the people that we saw 'are men of a great stature." Trhen to saw "the giants," the "souns of knaik," and "we wvere in our own Ight (as grasshoppers, and so we vore in their sight." Two of these men, Caleb and Jos ua, men of faith and courage, made bo following minority report: "The 1nd which we passed through to enrch it is an exceeding good land. aet us go up at once and poseess It, or we are well able to overcome it. f the Lord delight in us, then be ,ill bring us into this land and give us." The majority report was adopted; he children of Israel rebelled against lod and against Moses; the anger of eliovah was kindled against the re el4 and they wvere sentenced to 40 enrs of wvanderin~g in the wilderness. lhe ten cowardly men who made heir report wore summarily ain ofs "terrible price wr partments caught ems is raked up, - Dw is the time for 3 men's Sweater .

Of all the men of Israel above 20 years of age at the time of this shameful re bellion, only two, Caleb and JosLua, who bravely stood for God and the right, were permitted to enter the promise land. If any would read a fuller account of this reni ark. able occurance in the history of Is rael. let them turn to the 13th and 14th chapters of the book of Num bers. Kadesh Barnea was on the border of the land of Canaan. A few days only would have been reqired for entruce into the goodly land: but cowardice and unbefief, the greatest animies of mankind, kept the Isr ael ites out of their inheritance for 40 years. The manifest purpose of God con Corning every man and every 'peop~le is that they should move forward. Unbelief and disobedience and rebel. lion lead inevitably to tihe destruction of the individual and the nation. So universally true is this that we may reduce the law of (0 -1 to this single form: "Go forward, or (lie." It seems to me that God's people. in all the various branches of the church of Christ, are nIow encamnped at, Kadeshi Barnen. A goodly land and a rich and enduring inharitance are in easy ranch of them. The a. cumulated evidence of the blessing.s of Jehovah is securely preserved in the archives of the church, and the signs of his preance are unmisetak able. Under the influence of ease living, coward'y, skeptical cau er the people are doomed to miuffer' aiid] die. Thbe faithful, courageous 3mn whlo, like Caleb and Joshua, plead( with the peoplo to obey God and live are powerless to accomplish t he salvation of their brothern. Deliver ance will come after a while; but not until the ungodly, wicked, rebellious counsellors and the hundreds of thousands of their ready followers have perished through their a.nbelief. rule is of world wide application, All tribes and nations come under this law.
