This is a Hubject which is uppcrmoBl In many mindB these days. What shall ?we do with ?lu- drink question? Our observation has hern that harm has been done the cause of true tem perance by the movement known us the anti-saloon league, for there Is a certain amount of cussedness in men that would make them refuse to quit drinking when force Is applied or threatened. Just as there are many men who would refuse to drink under circumstances of that kind?and yet mlnht bi> beenil?d Into it Many u man feels that be is "stand-! ing up for the oxercbie of persona', liberties" and bis "rights" to take a drink "whenever tu? feel* like it" just! because of some intemperate speech on the part of h perfervfd und siack talking prohibition worker, when the same fellow with a few kinds words could be induced to do almost any thing. That Is human nature. The greatest sermon on temperance that has been preuched in this country was the product of the heart of that groat Journalist, Sam* O. tflythe. He gave an account of; his own experi ences. It was a lesson that went honte for it was full or common Vcnsn olid humanity and heart. Men of warm hearts and big Impulses, feel a thing of that kipd, an appeal ,ftjdm a man who is big and lovable and sensible. Men . do not like to be criticised for what they deem Innocent; diversions in the home town, when their very critics"got away from home and splurge and sow their wild oats and play the "good fellow", as is sometimes done. What Is debasing In others is with 'thenise!ves just a little flurry of over vivacity. There can be no double standard. When n man measures others he must stand by his own Vardstick. On tne other hand there are true temperance reformers who have never tasted strong drink. Their hearts re ally and sincerely bleed when they see a lovable personallity yielding to strong drink. They are not publicly obtrusive In their views, they are truly solicitous about their fellow man. We elieve that toey.}f?y* Walter tjaing codtmon aehae*il. f.., * We believe the sermon of Sam O. Blyteh in The Saturday Evening Dost of about toutvjycaks ago wa.a th?| finejj^ thing of Hb kind ever written. He does not preach or scold. He does not even nlcad. He^teUa^wbat liquor did for him and winds up with the statement that he knows that it harmed him and he ts done with it. ' Oh, I! there were only a little more charity on the part of the nondrink ing people of a community. They scorn the man who takes a drink, and he in turn scorns them for their sel fb.hnes.u, for there have come to his ears some faint echo of past scandal in the life of the pharir.oe. These things should not be. If a man is a man and worth saving, as all men are, is there any sense in abusing him like a ptck-poket? He needs help, not a shove downward. Sometime his soul aches for a friendly word. The basis of Christian religion is love. The baals of churchhun Is self Importance. Men, who are deeply im pressed with their own righteousness rarely, have tb^( genuineness of heart to try to save averring brother! T>.*y' put tho church above Christianity. If a man will come to church they may become interested in blm. They will not invite him to church,..perhaps,.be cause he drinks. There are two things that can save this country from evils attendant upon too much Indulgence in atrbpg drink. One Is common sense. The other Is prayer. Common sense must be ex ercised by the reformer and by the object of his efforts. Prayer from people who really love thier fellow man and have faith in God will - work ?olrade?, even in these days. i ??????? FAITH IN PREACHERS . The church is not religion. But the church is an outward expression of the religion of the hearts. The preach er of the gospel of Jesus Christ i3 not always the most devout ami moat pious person in the community, but generally speaking the preachers of this country are good, pure men. What Is the proof? The very fact that when one falls tne yellow press Will aefte Upon it as in the case of the preacher Riejieson, ahd other cases that may be retailed. These men were, guilty? Admitted. YeV their very guilt and the great stench the cases created prove that they were the exceptions to the rule. Our faith in preachers of the country is confirmed by the.few cases of crimi nality that have been proved. We are proud In our inner-con sciousness that thla paper' has not struck a certain preacherv when all seemed "Mack again af hlm?j As in the past, from this day for ward we propose to keep this paper clean for the homes jvhere ym little children may read it and be. unmovad 'by atories of a horrid lite. This Is not **)ni 4rtT nil prudery but u conviction that some' llf<> might be soiled by a 100 free ex ploitation of coar. j and common und bestial tilings. Ol K STIK h RISKS Tin- confidence of the people of (lie state in the future of Anderson Col l?ge wan advanced about 500 per ? ont. Saturday. When men who are lead ers in the educational world came here and saw wltat Anderson College] Is and wlial its fieid of effort is, tbuy were amazed. The people of Ander son themselves are so accustomed tu j that beautiful beacon light on the hilt thai ' y do not appreciate what they! have. Patterson Wurdlaw, head of the college of pedagogy of tlir University of South Carolina and for many years a trustee of Winthrop College, was ac tually bubbling over in his enthusiasm over the college which the people of Anderson have bullt. "I must con to?*," said he "that by my visit to An dereon today, my udtniratlon for the college and for the people of this pro gressive city has increased manifold, and I now have five times as much tait h in the future of the institution { us I bad before." Prof. Wnrdlaw. Hon. J. E. Swearln-, gen, bead of the state department of education, Mr. VV. H. T?te, supervisor, , or rural schools and personal repre-. I'scntatiyo of the general education I board, had come here on a mission1 somewhat hostile'to the interests, and decidedly hostile to the hopes and in spratlons of Anderson college. They expected a row. "We expected to go away with a feeling of soreness left on one side or the other," said Prof. Wardlaw, "and we were amazed at the presentation mudo by your splendid board of trus tees. We parted in friendship and ' with a mutual understanding of the case, and we from other parts of the stuto learned a valuable lesson in com ing here today. We learned that An derson college has a mission, we learn ed that its ideals arc high, that its' hopes are strong and that It has taken I r<>r its president to accomplish this work a man who is the peer of any in the work. We had hop d to get him back. We cannot say ?iat we have I failed, hut that Anderson College has presented the stronge claim. All hon or, to Anderson college and to the petopl'? ?f Anderson.*'" Supt. Swearingen and Mr. T?te ech oed. the sentiments of Prof, i Wardlaw j and declared that they had never seen faudra spiritJamong inch as was evinc ed at the meeting of \hc trustees of Anderson College Sautrday afternoon. They were swept off of their feet by:i the eloquence and manliness of the] appeal of Capt. H. H. Wa?klns, presl debt of the board.' His arguments were irrefutable, and the determination of the board to make this a great college so Impressed the visitors that they left Anderson firm in the conviction that this college will come to pass. AIT of the visitors were impressed with the fact that the trustees of tho col lege are men who will make the prop osition a success. When they learned tho Inner detals of theorganizatlon they had little more to say, and in the future when ever the name of Anderson college is mentioned, those gentlemen ?. ho visit ed Anderson Saturday v,ill he among the friends to say what a splendid in* ittufongltiits as, built by a plucky people, and sustained and supported at home. h?tfhow reaching out' through the oleotlo? of a man of statewide rep utation to draw to us many young ladles front all parts of the south.

Cigarettes and Written fur Tue Intelligencer by Rev.J den Two notable deatroyvrs of physical t vigor and producer* of premature i dratii are cigarettes and utroug drink.

Most drunkards took their first drink , either in boyhood or young manhood; j and the same is true with regard to , the cigarette slave, lie begins early j in life. Pitiful, indeed, is the sight of ^ a hoy or young man puffing away at ^ a cigarette, not because Just one is ^ so harmful, but because one calls for j another, and so on, until the victim . becomes a nervous wreck, and hls'j lungs are destroyed.

Speaking of , the cigarette habit, a friend of mine, , a minister, said he saw in a large to- , I bacco warehouse a sight that would ! surely make any man abhor a ciga- ( rette. He would not eat food that i lias been trampled under foot or spit upon, and yet that.is exactly the treat-j1 ment this minister saw being admin-j istered to the stems and the lower . grades-of tobacco. Asked, as to' what disposition would be made of the stuff, the emplc/css said that it would be made into cigarettes. Whether this particular warehouse is a fair sample, I do not know; but such a cordial in- ! vitatlon to disease germs on the part , of men is enough to make cigarette smokers pause' and decide that they have smoked if.hefr.last. But, do men and boys who. smoke ever pause to consider that,jt*ey are possibly and ev [en probably <,|nhailng disease germs along With rtber'jpofsonoiue substan ces?

Let us watch oursel ves,, to see whether our lives are dally telling for social, political, education al and religious improvement. Let. us watch our appetite; for it is a deceiv er; it would make us believe that to indulge in certain things will prove a blessing, whereas the opposite is true. Indulged appetite will destroy usefulluess, and finally lire Itself. Let us watch our law-makers, to see whether they are restraining or en couraging evil, whether thoy win dare listen to the calasses, oi* to the voice of justice and a fair play to all alike.
