MR. ROBERTSON’S POSITION
AS TO THE QUESTION OF FREE
LIQUOR.
He Defends Himself Against the Ar
ticle of “A Prohibitionist" and
Defines Hi3 Position
on the issue.
Mr. Editor:—I preached on the
whiskey question, some time since,
because I was asked to do so, and
not for the purpose of raising debate
or to criticise the position of the
limited or particular prohibitionist
as defined in your editorial ol two
weeks ago. I have naught to say
against the limited prohibitionist be
cause I am one of that class of
thinkers. My sermon referred to the
prohibitionist or to express more
definitely, us some seem slow to un
derstand, the unlimited prohibition
ist, or in other words he who holds
that no intoxicants should be manu
factured, sold or used under any cir
cumstances. The word prohibition
means to prevent and conveys the
above idea, unless precided by some
qualifying word, us limited or par
ticular. etc.
That the above is the platform of
many' is clear, from remarks used
such as "Let us rise in one united
bund and extipate intoxicants, both
root and branch,” or, "1 am a prohi
bitionist in the strictest sense,” or,
"Down with, banish all intoxicants,”
or, "Wipe them from the face of the
earth,” or, "Obliterate them on ac
count of the evil caused by the use
of them.”
These assertions prove that abso
lute prohibition exists in the minds
of a multitude, and the writer of "a
prohibition argument” is one of that
band. He informs me that he wrote
it to criticise my sermon as my re
marks left the impression that I was
a free whiskey man, so on account
of his singular conclusion, I beg you
to give me space to explain to all who
so understood me, exactly my posi
tion. My desire is to give a clear
idea of the substance of my remarks
and prove from God’s word that the
brother has unjustly criticised uiy
position. To do this, I will refer to
his own paper, ns it will take less of
your valuable space to cover the
points than to publish my sermon.
This brother has so expressed him
self, as to open the way for severe
and just criticism, but, since I do
not wish to be harsh or misunder
stood. I shall say no more than is
necessary to refute the error he has
made.
Let us look at his argument.
First he says, that he found nothing
in the Bible but curses pronounced
upon these who used intoxicants.
Then he failed to find First Tim.
5:23 "Use a little wine for thy
stomach’s sake, and thine often in
firmities,” or 1'rov. 31:5, "Gire strong
drink unto him that is ready to
perish, and wine unto those that be
of heavy hearts.” These quotations
refer to the use of intoxicants as
medicine, and imply that the use of
them in sickness benefits the patient,
and experience proves that tuchis
tiue. Then, according to this, w»
find two places where blessing is im
plied by use of stimulants when
properly administered to the sick.
This was exactly the position taken
in my sermon. Now let us examine
jiisown quotations Isaah 5:11, "Woe
unto them that rise up early in the
morning that they may follow strong
drink, that continue until night, till
wine inflame them,” Heb. 2:15,"Woe
unto him that giveth his neighbor
drink, that putteth thy bottle to
him and makest him drunken.”
None deny that these imply curses
upon the users, but the curses refer
to those who use to excess. Look at
the emphatic clauses until wine in
flame them—that is set on fire.
I’utteth the bottle to him and makest
him drunk,is still plainer. Isaiah 5:11
is a warning to the drinker who uses
to excess, and Heb. 2:15 is a warning
to him who holds out -’.e temptation
and induces others to use to excess.
This is again the position taken in
my sermon. Then God’s voice
through the Bible is, cursed is he who
uses to excess or induces others to do
so and blessed is he who uses it as
medicine to cure such diseases as
require it. I could prove these prin
ciples to be true by many other quo
tations, but as God’s once speaking
is sufficient to give validity, [ shall
not burden you with further evidence.
This proves that the brother’s first
assertion is without Bible sanction,
as some are blessed by the proper
use of intoxicants as medicine. We
should learn what God refers to
when he pronounces a curse or bless
ing. Next, the brother says he did
not find a single instance where one
was held responsible for a sick
man not having it to take.
1 reply to this by kindly asking if
Ue found a single place where anyone
proposed to abolish intoxicants or
-wipe it out of existence.
The prophets did warn against ex
cessive use, but there is not u single
reference where they cried out
against its manufacture. Evidently
from Biblical history, there were no
prohibitionists, or to give emphasis
and avoid being misunderstood,
there were no absolute prohibitionist,
consequently there was no use of
warning men about taking it from
the sick, or destroying it so the sick
could not procure it for use when
needful. Still, if the brother will
examine the inspired language
quoted closely, he will find that the
warning is Implied very forcibly
against keeping it from the sick who
need it. Come, brother let us reason
together. What does your physician
mean when he says to you, use this
or that medicine. Does he not mean
that your disease demands its nse,
and that he expects you to use it?
Does not his remark imply that no
one must keep you from using it by
destroying it? Of course he does.
Then whatef the command "Take
a little wine for the stomachs sake.”
Remember this is the utterance of
the Great Physician whoa know all
things, and never makes a mistake.
He realizes that some diseases re
quire its use, the.; do you not see
that it is a warning againt keeping
it from the sick who need it. Do
you not see that to prohibit its manu
facture would prevent the possibility
of the sick’s obeying God. How
could the sick take a little when
needful if you had destroyed it?
Then if he should die for the lack of
it, would you not be responsible for
his life. May God help you to see
your responsibility and enable you
to understand that First Tim. 5:23
and other references are truly warn
ings against absolute prohibition or
as you put it, against not letting a
sick man have it. Again he argues
against its use by referring to Christs
heal ng the sick. He says Christ did
not demand the use of wine when he
cured. This implies that as Christ
did not use wine to cure, that we
should not. This principal practi
cally carried out would deprive us of
the right to use any medicine, which
would leave us in a bad plight, fer
we would be at the mercy of all dis
eases that the human family is heir
to, yet the world would be in no sad
der condition without medicine than
the man whose diseases demanded a
stimulant to cure, and could not
procure it because of the prohibatory
law of the absolute prohibitionist.
In reply to this you, doubtless,
would say, "Let him die and save
the drunkard by destroying the
whiskey.” Tis true, if no whiskey
was manufactured, there would be no
drunkards, but those addicted to
stronge drink would resort to opiates
or something worse perhaps. Be
sides you, in taking it from the sick
man, would force him to disobey
God, who says take a little. Then
of course you would be responsible
for his loss of life. You would not
be justifiable in killing one to reform
another. Again, Christ died for all
classes of sinners, therefore it would
be useless to murder the poor help
less sick man. If Christs sacrifice
will not save them the death of the
poor sick fellow would be worthless
in the redemption of the drunkard.
Besides, put a drunkard in a dungeon
and force him to become sober, is he
not by appetite, still a drunkard?
Then sobering him by force would
not redeem him.
T oe point here, brother is that
Christ was the Divine Healer and
needed none of these things to give
efficacy to his work as the finite doc
tors of our day need. He had only
to command and the dead were made
to rise. I trust this will teach you
to see that your reference to Christ
as an argument against its use is al
together out of place, because there
is not the least comparison between
the two physicians, besides you do
not know that a single one, cured by
Christ Nvas so afflicted as to need the
wine. Remember that all diseases
do not need such a stimulant. 1
think these remarks declare plainly
that we are not to follow Christ’s
example in our efforts to cure the
sick but should heed His voice which
says take a little wine for the
stomach’s sake. I agree with you
fully about the horrors attending
drunkenness and am willing to do any
thing honorable in my power to re
move it. except disobey God’s law,
for to ignore God’s voice means to
fail and make you guilty of disobe
dience to God. while to obey means
to succeed. Do remember that suc
cess or failure depends upon obedi
ence or disobedience to God,
The whole of your argument im
plies that, intoxicants should be
destroyed because of the evil that
comes from their use. You had as
well say destroy fire because of the
harm to both property and iife, or
take all of the water out of the world
because the floods and oceans are so
destructive. Brother, listen to me.
Absolute prohibition is as truly
against God’s medical law. as the
straight out whiskey party is against
God’s protective law for the weak
brother’s sake. Why so? Because
absolute prohibition would make it
impossible to get it for medical use.
Remember it is ns truly a medicine
as morphine, and is as indispensable
in some cases. This is proven by God’s
commanding its use.
Next, ho says if one sick dies only
the physical body is dead. This
would do if all who die for the need
of stimulants were regenerated per
sons, but as the«e who would die be
cause they could not get the stimu
lant are as liable to be unregenerated
as regenerated your claim fails,
therefore your absolute prohibition
law would hurl both soul and body
of the unregenerated into an eternity
of woe. Yoilr remark implies that
both salvation and damnation are
hinged exclusively on drunkenness
or non-drunkenness. Do remember
that only the man who is born of the
spirit is saved. "Except a man be
born of the spirit he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God.”
Again you say the wine spoken of
in Scripture was unfermented. You
have no Bible proof that it was unfer
mented, but as the point of discus
sion is as to the intoxicatingqualities,
I shall prove by the Bible that the
wine 1’aul told Timothy to take
would make one drunk if used to ex
cess. The Greek word used for wine,
is addressing Timothy was "Oinas”
and 1’aul, the same writer, in writing
to Ephesians warns them against
becoming drunk on wine or Oinas
thus using the same Greek word.
This proves that the medical wine
which God commands Timothy to
take for sickness would make one
drunk if used to excess. Again the
word little implies as much for it is
a word of caution against using to
excess, so your assertion that it was
unfermented grape juice is set aside
by Bible proof. I agree with you
fully as to purity of the article.
Like all other medicine it should be
pure.
Again you speak of the poor pitiful
excuse framed in taking a little wine
for the stomach’s sake. Remember,
if it is a poor excuse God framed it,
if it is a pitiful excuse God framed it,
for God commanded it, and not man.
Then you ridicule God’s command and
not mine. My advice to you is, re-
flict seriously upon this, for it is not
a small matter to ridicule God’s
word, as you have done. Again you
say that the veriest sot can
truthfully sa/ he takes it for the
stomach’s'.sake. and you informed mo
tliat you meant to relieve the nausea
after recovery from a drunken spell.
Think brother! It is horrible to in
terpret God’s language as referring to
a sickness that is produced by diso
bedience to God in the excess:ve use
of any intoxicants. In love I must
tell you that such interpretation of
God’s word is blasphemy.
I will stop hero although I have
not said one tenth part of what I
could justly say against your asgu-
ment. I have said all in love to you
and from loyalty to God’s truth, and
; f you will point out a single unjust
remark 1 will not leave a single thing
undone that is needful to correct it,
while at the same time I shall defend
God’s truth at any cosj. I hope
this will end the matter. Though
fear of being mis-understood, again I
will sum up my position.
1. I am not an absolute prohibi
tionist, because he deserves the
destruction of God’s medical law, as
set forth in First Tim. 5:23 and
other references.
2nd. I am not a free whiskey man,
because he desires the destruction of
God’s prohibitory law which is im
plied in God’s word Heb. 2:15 and
other references.
3rd. I am a limited prohibitionist,
or in other words, I believe that it
should be manufactured, sold and
used as a medicine but under no cir
cumstances should it be manu
factured, sold or used for any other
purpose than as a medicine.
4th. I take this position because
it is the only one that meets the de
mands of God’s word, and makes it
possible to obey Him in both phases
of His intoxicant law.
These points sum up the central
thought of my sermon, and I am as
tonished that any one should think
that I am a free whiskey man. In
my sermon, I cried out in harder
language than I ever heard uttered
from the lips of any human being
against the manufacture, sale and
use of intoxicants to excess, and I
mean by that as it is manufactured
sold and used in our government. I
said that our government and state,
seller and user in this particular,
were guilty of eternal murder which
I proved by God’s word First Cor.
♦5:10, "No drunkard shall inherit the
kingdom of Heaven.” Doubtless
you see that this proves that the
drunkard is eternally damned if not
reformed. Then as drunkenness is
brought about by the use of liquors
and liquors existence and use depend
upon the grantor to manufacture, the
manufacturer, the seller and user, all
are guilty of eternal murder in God’s
sight and must give an account.
This the summing up of my argu
ment against free liquor as set forth
in my sermon.
With these remarks Mr. Editor, 1
will conclude by thanking you for
your kindness in grunting me space
to clear up matters.

THE SAGE OF ETTA JANE
CONTINUES HIS NARRATIVE OF
THE CAMPAIGN.
Mr. Lipscomb Says You Might as Well
Try to Stop Hell From Burning
as to Stop Some Men
From Drinking.
meeting
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Etta Jaxe, Get. 10.—Our report of
the county canvass closed as we
reached Grassy Toiid church. We
have had frequent opportunity to
speak of the people of this section,
and we have done so impartially and
respectfully. There are a great
mony of our old Union county citi
zens who now live in this section,
and worship at Grassy Pond church.
They are among the very best citi
zens of Cherokee county.
Of course the political meeting at
Grassy Pond was an interesting one,
from the fact that the candidates
were on the qui vive for something
to say to please and captivate the
voters. Most of the congregation
remained that afternoon to hear
what the candidates had to say. The
ladies occupied the house and the
speakers were introduced by our
worthy coroner, A. J. McCraw, who
acted as chairman. The presence of
ladies always has a restraining influ
ence on men, and no doubt had
much to do with the good temper
that pervaded our meeting. No
gentleman can afford to display his
vicious temperament in the presence
of refined ladies.
No objection could be made to the
manner in which Mr. McCraw con
ducted the meeting and the candi
dates had a very respectful hearing.
The audience was probably the
largest wo had met—many of whom
were women and children. There
was probably 200 or 250 voters pres
ent. The speaking continued from
2 o’clock p. m. until near sundown.
Among the many good things said
by the candidates there, as else
where, (which I have studiously
avoided repeating) Mr. Edward Lips-
comp, candidate for the legislature,
said in speaking of prohibition:
"You might as well try to stop hell
from burning, as to stop some men
from drinking liquor.”
plenty of watermelons were on the
ground and a friend proposed that
«the candidates throw in and buy u
load to treat the crowd. The money
was raised and the purchase made.
Everything passed off quietly and
pleasantly and thus the
closed.
I should have made mention, in
my previous letter, of the splendid
music I heard from the local church
choir at Grassy Pond during divine
services that morning. It was a
great factor in the work. The
preaching was excellent and I for
one, felt some embarrassment .in
taking part in a political meeting on
grounds dedicated to the worship of
Almighty God, lest the sanctuary
might not be properly respected by
some thoughtless speaker or hearer.
This is not the first time I have ex
pressed this feeling, either.
I spent that night with Mr. Will I.
Jones, whose excellent wife was one
of my pupils. I could not have been
better treated at home than they
and their family treated me. Mr.
Jones and family was once Union
county people, and Cherokee has no
better now.
From Mr. Jones’ next morning I
wound my way across the country
towards the Island Ford road, then
on to Gaffney to the final winding up
of the campaign—so far as the pub
lic speaking was concerned. I
passed through the plantation of
Mr. J. Q. Little, which is one of the
best upland farms in Cherokee
county, or in the Piedmont beit for
that matter. A small creuk runs
through it, and it is otherwise sup
plied with abundance of water, of
the very best quality. I arrived in
town about o’clock. The streets
were full of people from all the dif
ferent sections of the county and the
town hud a holiday appearance—the
merchants and clerks were as busy
as bees, and every body happy and
gay.
The meeting was called to order by
chairman I. G. Surratt, in the court
house at 11 a. m. and continued un
til 1:30 p. m. when a recess was
taken for dinner and refreshments.
Judge Sarratt presided with his ac
customed dignity and impartiality
and the speakers had a crowded
house most of the time. Here, as
elsewhere, every effort was made, (so
far as I could see) on the part of the
officers in charge of the different
meetings to give each candidate |
"fair play.” I never saw a more
equitably conducted campaign and
one that reflects higher honors on
the people, generally, than that we
have just passed through. That
there are evidences of personal and
malicious double-dealing which re
flects seriously on the uprighting of
the voters, I have no right to or
inclination to dispute. These were
kept profoundly secret until this
work was accomplished, and now we
may lock for them to bring forth
fruits’in due season. The beneficiary
may enjoy the treason while he de
spises the traitor.
Mrs. Alciminia Orr is very unwell
and has been so for a long time. Her
sons Walter J. and Columbus Moore-
head, of Hickory Grove, came over
yesterday to see her.
Mr. M. C. Dorman, of Wllkins-
ville, who is one of the best sweet
potutoe raisers in this county, says
he will dig them on the new moon of
this month.
Mr. C. E. Bailey, of Piney Grove,
paid us a visit last Thursday.
Capt. Jas. T. Morehead gave us a
call last week. He complains of his
corn rotting in the field as well as of
some disappearing from the stalks.
Mr. Nathan Lipscomb, County
Supervisor. accompanied by T.
M. Littlejohn, township commis
sioner, made an official visit to this
section last Thursday.
Mr. W. T. Osments’ family are
speaking of moving to the cotton
mill at Pacolet this week.
The rains last Wednesday night
put the river out in low places.
Mrs. Mary C. Estes paid Mrs.
"J. L. S.” a visit last Thursday.
She has been quite unwell for sev
eral days.
Our old friend and comrade, Mr.
G. T. Wood, of Asbury, was down to
see us last week. He is one of
Cherokee’s best stay-at-home-and-
mind-your-own-business citizens.
Wherever you find "Uncle Thom
as,” you may be sure he is on busi

A great many people are wishing
for frost to come. They think it
will abate the chills and fever.
Some people are always
looking for opportunities to do
something good. They might as
well look for fire-wood in the forest

always full of such opportuities.
The rich man whose grounds

week for bad writing, and I prom

It won’t do to fall out with the boys.
But I must insist that they dodn’t
misreprent me when I wrote a fa
miliar quotation. This gives trouble
as the following did a ministerial
brother who has shared our experi
ence slightly.
Village I’arson (entering country
editor’s office): "You promised to
publish that sermon I sent you on
Mooday, but I do not find it the latest
issue of your paper ”
Editor: "I sent it up. It surely
went in. What was the name of it?”
I’arson. "Feed my Lambs.”
Editor “(after searching through
the paper): "Ah—yes—us—here it
is. You sec we’vo got a new fore
man, and he put it under the head
of Agricultural Notes, as "Hints on
the Care of Sheep.’ ”
The triennial meeting of the Inter
denominational Sabbath School Asso
ciation will be held in Atlanta, Ga,,
next April. Let Cherokee county be
represented.
May 10, 1899, is the time set for
the national reunion of the U. C.
Veterans in Charleston. This will,
beyond doubt, be the greatest meet
ing in the history of that organiza
tion. Let every veteran in Chero
kee county enroll himself and go or
send some one to represent him.
Charleston is making every arrange
ment to give them a grand recep
tion, and this will be the last re
union many of them will ever have
an opportunity to attend. We hope
Col. Griffith will have his regiment
under command and move it in a
body. Now is the time to begin
making arrangements and work for
a grand meeting.
1‘erhaps those pugnacious follows
who were so bitterly opposed to our
ministers taking any part in favor of
prohibition at the late primary elec
tion think that the action of those
Buffalo (N. fcY.) ministers, who so
completely routed the 4.000 sports
and put an end to the Corbett-Mc-
Coy prize light have worked an irre
parable injury to the Christian
church. Those ministers who
thought it inadvisable to tackle the
liquor question for fear of losing
their reputation ought to form a
court and try their Buffalo brethren
for heresy.
"What Education should be,” u
paper read by Miss Lillian Smith
before the Cross Anchor Literary
Society the >ther day, is worthy of
perusal by parents, teachers and
others interested in the education of
our children, it reflects honor on
its fair author.
We attended the communion
meeting of the A. R. 1‘resbyterian
! tered the sacrament of the Lord's
Supper to one of the largest bodies
of communicants it has been our
privilege to meet in many years, if
ever before. In addressing the com
municants he laid special emphasis
on the phase : "Whosoever shall eat
this bread and drink this cup of the
Lord unworthily,” etc., as having
reference to the.manne* in ,vhich we
eat and drink and not as to the man
ner of man; for we are unworthy
creatures and as such we must come
in the dust of humility, feeling that
we are unworthy of the very least of
God’s mercies.
I met many of my old friends at
Hickory Grove with whom I always

THE NEGRO THAT PLOWS.
He Sees the Present Condition of the
Farmer.
(Correspondence of The Leaser )
Mu. Editor:—Please allow me to
state through The Ledqer a few facts
to the farmers of Cherokee county,
l have noticed the condition of the
farmers for sometime, and it seems
that they are in better heart in the
month of April, when they are plant
ing their crops, than they are in the
month of October, when they are sell
ing their crops. They are living in
hopes then six months from the
market. Is there more use in worK-
ing for money than their is in getting
it? I think not, the trouble is, we
expect to get 8 or 9 cents for our
cotton and after we make it, and
take it to the market, we only get 4.
or 5 cents a pound, ^n the spring,
you can hear the colored man singing
"I've got the sword in my hand,
everyday Lord, I’ve got the sword in
my hand.” And you can hear the
white man singing, "How firm u
foundation ye saints of the Lord, is
laid for your faith in his excellent
word,” and when the time comes to
reap and rejoice, they quit binging
and walk about slow and almost
drag their feet, and look like they
want to fight something. Now we
can stop our hopes from being blighted
by only planting for what we gen
erally get.
It is stated that in 1872 cotton
sold for 20 cents a pound. And now
it is 5 cents a pound, just 4. And it
is further stated that there is four
times as much cotton made now, as
in 1872. And in 1872 cotton checks
sold by the wholesale at 7, and 8
cents a yard, now it sells for 2 add
3 cents a yard.
We should plant more corn, wheat,
oats, and cane.

Highland Rice.
[SpartantiurK llcurillglit.]
Mr. J. W. Gray, who lives at Holly
Springs, Spartanburg county, last
Tuesday showed us a sample of high
land rice that he raised on his farm.
It is of the new crop and as good as
we ever saw. Mr. Gray says he can
raise about bushels of clear rice to
the acre. This rice is cleaned at a
rice mill in operation at Tayidr’s
station, over in Greenville county.
This is a new enterprise for Spartan
burg county, and beats five cents cot
ton. Rice sells on market for about
•f l per bushel, and there is a ready
sale for all we raise. It is a sure crop
and grows on thin land.
