Then, for tho sake of your own ho'ir.ehohl, and the example lo your children, you cannot alford lo do it. Also, what Kood will it do you? The money yon spend to get the wherewithal would do much more good If given to tho needy In your own community, and they are there. A man who imbibes rather freely at times, and who was guilty of this only recently said that it was done on the last occasion because he wus worried on ac-ount of the Illness bf a brother In another state. We asked him what ^OVHI ho thought drinking intoxicating liquor in South Carolina would do his brother in another State who was lying ill of a fever. Ho replied that be knew we would not understand, but that It was psychology. We told him we did not understand, aure enough, and if be would he so kind, to please lend us bis book on psychol ogy so we could learn this new sort. We hope there ore not many copies of his text book on this subject in ex istence, and that the number of atu Jents taking tho course ls very limit ed. But, anyway, please do not take too much to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace. It will not be Christ like. Wit Y NOT A BOND ISSUE I Wo desire to aBk tho people of the county generally to express their opinions on tho matter of ri bond issue for good, rouils In Anderson county. The Intelligencer le^ieves that there has never been a more favorable time for thia proposition tn bc put through, and never n time when the bond Issue stood ? better chance of carrying, nor of getting value received for the money expended. T?tere will be nn abundance of labor, and it can be had at reesonablo figures. There would he much good done by having so much .money turned loone In tho county at ?this time. The Intelligencer would be pleased ito publish articles from over the 'county'on this subject, and would be pleased to assist in making sentiment ?for tho bond Issuo at this time. It.ls worthy of thought at this particular time, and If the condition of the roads Is an indication of the needs along Otis line, there can be no doubt that it |la badly needed. MORE BLESSED TO fl I VE Tile liberal and quick response made by the people of Anderson yes terday when lt was learned that there is some real suffering tn and near the city, was one ot the best Christmas presents Uiai cuuld be made to The Intelligencer. We aro glad to know that Ulla newspaper is published in a city that will so quickly and effect ively respond to an appeal for those who really and truly need help, whether they live across the seas or within balling distance. The greatest 1 of all virtues, we ore told, ts charity, ind no people who have charity can be far wrong on many questions. The list of contributions as publish ed in today's paper does not near cover the total interest that was shown In these worthy cases. For several hours yesterday morning one person waa kept busy In the front of fice talking to callers inquiring about theae families, and one busy answer ing the telephone. Many persons went ta nee for themselves, and truly these unfortunate people feel that the Good Samaritan was near when they offer ed up their supplications last night to Htm who notes the fall ot every sparrow, or who numbers tho halts of the bead. x We trust that tonight good old Saint Nicholas wilt not skip a single one ot those homes, but that some little toy, ao dear to every childish heart, may ts theirs aa they awake on 'Christmas morning and ma to peep at the little stocking by the chimney-side. After all) true joy cornea in giving more Utan tn receiving, and we ar? sum that those persona who ministered yesterday and the day before to these worthy families tait that Uley had also received o gift, dod one which wl)l abide. ALL VOTED EOE AMENDMENT We desire to congratulate the mem bers Of the national House of Repre sentatives from South Carolina, every eeo of whom voted in favor of submit ting the amendment to the Conetltu Uon op the question of prohibition to the people for their vote. And avery nee ot them waa oe hand to vote, and did not dodge the issue. We trust tbs , mem'?tera of the legislature ia the ap proaching session of the General As sembly for Son Ul Carolina will vote se those Congressmen did. ead teat Ute matter caa be submitted to the peopie ?ext y*ar aa to whether ar not Sooth Carolina will ha totally dry. 4a*asNaaNME^r^^ ADVICE AND CONMENT The Constitution of tho I 'n ir Staten provides tliut certain nppolnt mentH to ofiice under tho federal go" ornnient tdinll tx. mad<% by the Presi dent, "by and with tho advice ami con sent of tho Senate." Thc manner of proo-eding ululer thin provision has been that the President nominates tho man of hi? choice for tho office, and tho Senate coaslders tho matter, and ''confirms" the nomination If it sees flt to approve tho President's choice. Thore have been struggles over such matters, sometimes of extreme blt - tornean, and some observers go even so fax as to say that the election ol Grover Cleveland to the Presidency in 18X4 may tn- traced directly to the patronage squabble between Garfield and Tousling, which created a rup ture of long Hlnnding in a portion of tho Republican party. Tho Senate may, and not Infre quently it has seen flt to, decline con firmation of tho President's nomina tions. In that ense, it n.ay either take no positive action, or iv may formally reject the nomination. If it fulls to act, usually the nominee serves until the adjournment of thc session, and then lt becomes necessary for thc President to matte a "recess appoint ment." He may, if he sees flt, renom inate the samo man. When tho Senate rejects a nomination, is is a question aa to whether the nominee may con tinue to servo until adjournment, or whether he may be renominated dur ing the recess. There are certaiu things to bc tak en into consideration, however, in the "struggle" that anti-administration newspapers say is now on between President Wilson and the Senate. In the first place, no direct statement haa been mado by tbs President, and statements which purport to express his views are usually to be taken with salt. It ls not certain, therefore, that there ls really n contest on. In the second place, it should be noted that Senators Reed, O'Gorman, and Martine are the Senators who are concerned in he matter, and these three -Reed, O'Gorman, and Marline -have consistently opposed the President whenever it has boen pos sible for them to do no. Democratic though they are. It ls io be further considered that the senatorial holdup is accomplish ed by these individual Senotors. The Constitution does not say one word about "senatorial courtesy," but that is the thing that ls invoked in such fights as he une under discusi?n. The rule of senatorial courtesy ls that the Senat-) will not confirm an appointee who is ''personally objectionable" to tho Senators In whose State the ap pointee is lo serve. By "personally objecting" j on purely political grounds to certain nominations made by the President, the three Senators named have invoked "senatorial cour tesy," and bavo induced the Senate aa a body to reject the nominations. Thus ls accomplished what the Con stitution never contemplated- the holding up of nominations for lack of "advlco and consent," net of the Sen ate, but ot an Individual Senator. NOT A' BAD SION The decision ot the directors of an Anderson banking institution to de clare its usual semi-annual dividend ls an Indication that this community Is not so badly hit, perhaps after all. A dividend of 8 per cent, and another of 4 per cent, every B?X months is not bad for any business whether or not lt be a beak. We trust that every in stitution which can do so will pay a dividend In the near future and place as much money in circulation as pos sible. The talk of hard times one hears so much of will soon disappear, and will more quickly leave un if all busi ness concern? will do as this bank has done-refuse to be affected. PROHIBITION DOES PROHIBIT "Prohibition does not prohibit" ls <in argument always used by those who oppose prohibitory laws. The failure of tho Hoater-Columhus breweries ot Columbus. Ohio, yester day, because ot the continued voting dry of territory in which they did business, will be a rather severe blow io this favorite argument. Of course prohibition prohibits, else tt would not be prohibition. Morry Christmas to Ensign Bel cher of the Salvation Army, who will tomorrow distribute dinners , to more than a half-hundred worthy and des titute families In Anderson. Merry Christmas to Postmaster John R Cochran and his faithful as sociates who are going to keep the poe tofft ce open tomorrow for the ac comodation of the pabilo.
