NOTES ANO COMMENTS.
The woman who thinks she is any
better than any other respectable wo
man, be she rich or poor, is a snob,
and there is nothing in this world
that is mure detestable than a snob
bish woman.
To exercise charity toward your
enemies is a noble precept, but the
temptation to strike out from the
shoulder rather than turn the other
cheek is often so great that men lose
sight of the Biblical injunction. ^
Don’t let them bring that North
Carolina distillery to Cherokee
county. It is close enough to us now
for us to see its damning work. If
North Carolina can’t stand it Chero
kee must not try, but on the con
trary must fight against it as we
would a consuming fire. The effect
of its work would be more damaging.

The refusal of Chief Justice Pope
to grant bail to Jim H. Tillman is
just what all people who had been in
formed about the facts in the case
and had knowledge of the law in such
cases thought he would do. And we
hope Justice Pope’s action in this
case is the beginning of an era in
South Carolina when law and order
will prevail as they did when Justice
Pope’s distinguished relative, Justice
John Belton O’Neil, held the high of
fice that tbe justice now himself
adorns.
The Charlotte Observer and the
Columbia State of Friday were rather
of the sensational order. The first
was devoted principally to the Bishop
trial and the latter to the Tillman
application for bail. Both these trials
are the result of the depravity of
mankind. Had Bishop entertained a
proper regard for his character he
would not nave permitted himself to
go to the Wilson home with whiskey
in his pocket and offer it to a young
lady ; and had Tillman entertained a
proper regard for his character he
would not have committed the offenses
against *Society that are attribut
ed to him and then placed himself
in a pos’tion to be exposed. The
former allowed his depravity to get
him into trouble, while the latter’s
depravity combined with an unsatisa-
ble ambition proved his downfall.

The South Csrolina legislature has
come to a close—it closed last Satur
day. If it has done anything extra
ordinary to commend it to the people
of tbe State we Lave been unable to
detect it. Some very good measures
were introduced only to be killed, but
as a whole tbe work done was of tbe
mildest and most conservative char
acter. It looks like folly to be send
ing men to Columbia once a year to
do nothing. Bi-ennial sessions are
the proper thing. It costs a consid
erable sum every year to run this
legislature, for salaries and mileage
alone, to say nothing of other expen
ses, in ail probability will run it up
to—we do not know tbe exact fig
ures, but they are large. The truth
of tbe matter is that, at least $50,000
to $100,000 a year might be saved the
tax payers of South Carolina if the
legislature met only once in two years.
It is true that this would meau but
about $1,000 to $2,000 for each coun
ty a year, but that would mean a
slight reduction of taxes.
No DUtUIery for Cherokee.
We learn that there is an effort
being made to establish a distillery
in this county. We hope the move
ment will receive snob a crashing
blow in Its indpiency that it will be
abandoned. Bat if it is persisted iog
then let tbe manhood and woman
hood of Cherokee county rise en masse
and say that tbe thing shall not be.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
MiihIcmI Prouminme •>>' Choir »t the
Evening StrvIceH Much Enjoyed,
Rev. Arch C. Cree was sufficiently
recovered from the severe case of
grippe which held him prisoner the
most of last week to attend both
services on Sunday. But owing to
the serious condition of his throat he
preached only at the morning service.
His text was Genesis 11:9: “Where
art Thou?”—God's call to Adam and
Eve in Eden. He first spoke of the
desire of conscious guilt to hide itself
from the face of God. The soul that
knows it is guilty of sin and the
Christian that is conscious of unfaith
fulness both try to hide their guilt
and unfaithfulness, but God sees it
all. There is no escape from Hi*
all-seeing eye. He next asked all
Christians to open their hearts and
lives fairly and squarely to the ques
tion, “ W’here art Thou?” Men can’t
read your hearts. They know nothing
o f your intentions, however good they
may be. But they can and do read
jour actions, your words, your lives,
and tht y both judge you and are in
fluenced by you accordingly. In
closing he made an appral to Chris
tians to take an out-and-out stand
for Christ and the right in all things.
We can only do so by submitting
everything to the test, “Is this for or
against Christ?” and wnen in any
doubt, the only safe rule is to avoid
all appearance of evil.
A very pleasant and much appre*
ci; t ‘J feature of the morning service
was the beautiful solo sung by Mrs.
Wade R. Brown. She sang to the de
light of all who heard her, that won-
drouslv stirring song, “Fear ye
not, Olsrael!”
At night, owing to the sP^iou‘ , con
dition of the pastor’s throat, there
was no sermon; but the following
programme, interspersed with hymns,
scripture reading and prayer, was
presented and thoroughly enjoyed by
all lovers of good music. Warren’s
“Magdalene,” sung by the quartette,
Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Cree, Mr. Osborne
and Mr. Richardson, was very much
enjoyed; and the duet by Mrs. Brown
and .• rs. Byars, together with Mrs.
Brown’s soio, “O rest in the Lord,”
deserves special mention. But it was
all good.
