TIIOIUHT.S ON I.M'F.MPKK.tM'E
A few days ago our w*>ii known cor
respondent, "Uncle Dave", wrote a
very Interesting article on the piti
able ondl'.ion of ihe man who Im
downed by drink. 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.

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

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.
Tbc work of these death traps often '.
continue long after the victim has i
paid the death penalty for self-grati- r
lication. i'hysicians t !! us that tili? <
is one application of the Visitation of 1
the iniquities of the fathers upon the <
children unto the third and fourth i
general ion oX those who disobey God <
by the use of HbbBtahe?s which Injure <
and frequently kill the body, intended
by tlie Creator to b<3 a temple edifl- i
eated to Hi? service. *
Youth, the formative pnricd, is very '
Important to the boy, an It often de- '
terminus what he will be when be j
reaches manhood. This' 1b the rccep- '
live period, the period when the will 1
Is most flexible. Hence the need of 1
liiu being taught in youth the effects <
of alcohol, nicotine and other poisons '
upon the body.
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.
A noted physicien gays that there is '
in the boys of this country marked ,
signs of weakness and inefficiency, t
from which the girls are free.. 1 i
ThlB. he attributes to the growing (
popularity of smoking. Another spec- t
ialist has termed cheap cigarettes ,
"rank poison." - !
What u Minister saw. 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

Strong Drink
. T. Mann, Seal's Creek t'orrespon.
ed! Human life is going too cheaply, t
ind it is time to call a halt.
The Cigarette an a Mathametlciau
The following striking story explains
tself: "I am not much of a mathe
natician," said the 'cigarette, "but I
an add to .man"a nervous trouoies;
I can subtract from bis physical en
ergy; I can multiply his aches a/.d
>ains and divide his mental forces. I
an take interest from his work, and
liscount his chances for success."
Adulterated Liquors. Strong drink
s called a .Serpent in Scripture, be*
;ause of ftB .power to entice. If that
a proper' designation of it at
jest, what name shall we give the
idulterated stuff .being, generally of
'?red to consumers today? Experts
iave found that much of It contains
wood alcohol and other dangerous
irug8, and they are warning people
igainst its use.
Alcoholism and Narcotics. An en
nent surgeon, who has given the sub-*
iect special study, speaking of condit
ions in tliis country. Bays that a wave
if degeneracy is sweeping the whole
l?nd" and if this continues, he fears
'oy/.ih'o future of the nation. It has
been, estimated that during GO years
the increase In Insanity In this conn-.
try was nearly three times greater <
than the increase of population during
the same period. These two unde
lirable Conditions have been attributed
largeiy to the cxcessiye anu cnronic
use or alcohol in various forms, and
also to the, use of narcotics.
What has been said concerning
cigarettes and alcohol may be applied
to every day life in one word, the key
note of our next Sunday School les
ion?"Watch." 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.
And last, but not least, let us watch
the tempter. He presents himself in
many forms, sometimes in the guise of
a human being, and tells us that cer
tain things are harmless because they
are apparently trivial. Many a soul
has thus been lead to destruction. So
let us always watch.
