Strong drink has dene move harm and is doing more harm than anything. Does moderate drinking hurt you, drinking man? I know it does hurt anybody who drinks it moderately or otherwise. I have never seen ary good come from drinking, but have seen a lot of harm caused from it. It is not a sttmuiant or a food, and no good can cc me of it. but on the other hand, it is a depressent and a disease pro ducer. It does not satisfy the craving ( tie may have for it.

Too much hc.p and sympathy can’t he given the teachers of this country for they have a hard and an important work to perform—one that requires the pa tience of Job if they accomplish any thing. They should have the sympa thy and help of the homes and fami lies which give them emplomenl. Tt may be (and perhaps often is the case) that poor and incompetent teachers are employed sometimes— those who work merely for the money which we so often have spoken of. But that is no reason why they should not have the help and encouragement of their employees which will inspire them to do better work. If it doesn’t it should induce them to quit the business. Encourage your teachers and help them all you can and you will see better results from the schools, no doubt. We have often said and here repeat it that the faithful teacher is the hardest work ed, poorest paid and least thanked public servant in the land. The meeting of the State Press As- fon at Gaffney within the next eeks will bring together the largest, brainiest, jolliest, best natur- ed, most influential and intelligent body of men of its size that has met in our capitol city, and we believe there is enough county pride in our pfople to make it one of the best the State has eve- had. Gaffney and Cherokee county don’t usually do things i,y halves and we feel satisfied they will make no exception to the meeting of the State Press Associa tion. The communion meeting at the A. P. Presbyterian church at Hickory Grove will commence next Thursday night—23rd inst. and continue till Sabbath night. Rev. J. E. McDonald, of Chester, will assist the pastor, Rev. J. I^ee Oates, in the meeting. He is one among fhe ablest preachers and finest pulpit orators in the State, and those who hear him will agree with us in this assertion. Make an effort and even a sacrifice (if need be) dear reader, to hear this distin guished divine and our word for it, you will never regret, it.

Solomon says: “There is a time for all things,” and he could well have added “and a place too for all things.” When wh see people so full of mirth that they can’t suppress their emotions during the hour of public worship we are struck with'tjie idea that something is wrong with them. If their home training is hot at fault they betray an alarming indifference as to its true meaning. If such actions don’t show real emnoity (oh the Saviour’s cross they at last betray an alarming in difference as to His suffering on Cal vary and still the more pitiable is the spectacle when those who are engaged in it are teachers of the young and leading them in “wisdoms way.” When a crowd of young peo ple ( or older ones either) enter a church as if it was a theatre, a cheap liens, and Rev.

And I wa - v haok t ° three years ago while teaching in another part of the county, I did all I could to get the officers on to some “blind tigers.” Several days I had talks with one of the constables. I don’t know whether it did any good or not, what little i did. I don’t claim that i have done very much. We have men employed as officers to do that kind of work.
