I Quotes tlio Bible to Sustain Hits Position. I Mr. Editor?Will you allow me space in your paper lor a reply j to the aitiele ol Mr. "J. R. M." I 1 am a Prohibitionist?(Jod l'orI bid that, I shall ever be anything lie presented the Bible to-defend, and He took the same Bible and put the devil to flight. We must know that God's sympathy and love is revealed through man by the inspiration of the holy spirit lo sinful men. and, of course, the devil holds up his side of this question through those whom he can conceal. I will admit that gluttinoss and drunkenness is wrong in the sight of God, but if a drunk man did not hurt the community any more than a man who eafs too much, whiskey [ would not be in politics today. 1 will go back to the standard truth in the book where it says "do not drink wine nor strong drink." In the hook of Numbers, 4 and 3, "he shall separate himseli from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wines, or vinegar of strong drink ; neither shall he drink liquor." In the book of .Judges, 13 and 14, "she may not eat of anything that cometh of the vine. ' neither let her drink wine or strong drink." This is enough to show that (Jod abhors drunkenness. Now, let us see who is responsible for the murders which have been caused by whisky. Is the poor drunkard guilty alone ? This will bo the answer of the poor drunkard at the judgment bar of (iod : "I stand here before this bar convicted of wilful mur der. Truthful witnesses have testified to the fact that 1 was a loafer, a drunkard and a wreck, while I have no recollection of i committing the fearful crime, and j in human deed I have no right to complain or to condemn the verdict. Hut may it please the ) throne of justice to ftay that 1 am not alone responsible for the mur ders that 1 have committed t The judge, the jury, the lawyers < and the witness have made me a y drunkard by law. If it had not , doom ior ine saioons or my town * I uever would liave become a drunkard ; I would not be here now ready to be hurled into eter v nity. Had it not been for the human trap set out by the gov " emment, I would have been a - sober man, an industrious workman. a tender father and a loving husband, while I was murdered by the strong arms ot the State. ( (?od, you know I tried to reform, i but as long as open saloons were 1 in my path my weak will power j was no match against the fearful appetite for liquor. I began my ^ downward road at a saloon estaby lished by the votera of my state, else. I will take the Bible tor j | my standard. In the book of Psalms you will find these words : "There is a cup, and the wine is red : it, is full nt mivl nro ami li? poureth out of the same; but the dregs of all the mixed of the eArth shall wring them out and drink them." In the book of ' Isaiah you will liud this: "For all tables are full ot vomit and fiithiness, so that there is no place clean ; Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's hands that made all the eath drunken ; the nation have drunken of her wine, therefore the nation are mad; who hath woe, who hath sorrow, who hath contentions, who hath babbling, who hath wounds without a cause, who halh redness of eyes, woe unto them that follows strong drink, woe unto them 'hat are mighty to drink wine, and men of strong!h to mingle strong drink, which justify the wicked for reward and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him." As I have said, 1 will take the Bible for my standard, and, ol course, the devil will take the I same, for when Jesus was heri? ac if Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King's New Life Pills.

Few questions asked by I he Census office are of more importance than those regarding the place of birth of the individual and Ins parents. There is no great country which has received so many immigrants and lost so few emigrants as the United States. 11 ,i....iI ...u... i? . i II in 11 < 111 111 I 11 I ? 111" I 11?" I limit" I II11II 200,000 A mericans l?y birth art' living outside of the United States, while the nutnher of per sons of foreign birth living in i lie United States is probably ten million. In the coming census t lie emu monitors will endeavor to ascer tain where each person, and the parents ol each person, were horn; and, if the person was not born in the United States, in what year ho came to this conn try, the number of years he has been here, whether he has been naturalized or not, and if not, whether he has taken out nat uralization papers. The tables made from the answers to the inquiries respect ing birth place show the number and distribution of the foreign born residents of the United States, the number of them born in each of the great countries, the amount of intermarriage between these foreigners and the natives, tin1 proportion of the foreigners who settle in the cities and those who seek the. country, their ability to read and to speak Kng lish. and the law ahidinir rlmmc ter of the population. It is some times Raid,for instance, t hat crime is specially common among the foreign population, lint this statement can not he supported by the census figures. Few crimes are committed by persona under fifteen yearn of age, and vast numbers of the natives are under that age and therefore can not commit crime. When comparison is made between the native prisoners ami the natives over fifteen years of age, and the foreign pris oners and the foreign population over fifteen v^ars of age, one finds that the proportion of per I >TEI^ BEMI-W LANCASTER, S. C., which received annually a part of the blood money Irotn the poor [deluded victims. Alter the State has made me a drunkard and a murderer, and those that are here beloro you have legalized the traffic, 1 in my drunken condition have also been murdered." Ask yourselves is the poor drunkard guilty alone for inur ders, and don't you think the murder nulls are in full operation today with your consent ? You know in your hearts that these words ol mine are not the revel ings ot an unsound mind, but (rod Almighty's is truth. The liquor trallic of this nation is re sponsible for nearly every one of the murders, bloodsheds, riots, poverty, wretchedness and woe. It breaks up thousands of happy homes every year, sends husband and brother to prison or to the gallows, and drives hir? Veda ol ? 1 1:? ? i _ ? - > - ' iwiiicis anu 11wlio cuuuren into the world to die. This greed mill traffic is legal and is protected l?v the Republican and Democratic parties, which you sustain with your ballots. Every election you are given the opportunity of voting a protest against the soul and body. 1 will close by asking God to open your blind eyes to I he truth, to your own individual respon sibility, so that you will cease to give your support to this hellbound traffic. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, hear God and keep his command monts, for this is the whole duty of man. n i' it. that tnikininv^ \ ENTE ERKLY. SATURDAY, JUNE 2 sons in prison is about 50 per eent greater among the natives than among the foreign born pop illation. Another point brought, out very clearly by the census figures is that immigrants move but a comparatively short distance. The Canadian immigrants live mainly along the Canadian frontier, and the Mexicans mainly along the southern boundary. Thus in 1800 the Canadians were in a plurality among the foreign horn in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont. Michigan, Montana, and Washington. The Mexicans, on the contrary, were in a plurality in Now Mex ico and Arizona. The Germans, however, have spread all over the United States, and were in a plu rality among the foreign born in twenty six States and Territories. To the several foreign-born elements of our population it is a matter of pride and interest to know the number of persons of their nationality in the United States, and their general economic condition. In 1800 there were more than 0,000,000 residents in the United States who were born in foreign countries. ()l this mini her about 30 per cent were born in Germany, 20 per cent in Ireland, and about 10 ner cent in I - " Canada ami Newfoundland. From 1821 to 18:10 the United King dom contributed 53 per cent of the total immigration to the United States, and Germany 35 per cent. In the decade 188i to 1800 the immigrants from the United Kingdom constituted only 28 per cent of the total immigration, the proportion from Germany being slightly less. In the ten years 18'?1 to 1870 the combind immigration from Austria, Hungary, Russia, Poland, and Italy con stituted only one per cent of the total immigration. In the decade 1881 to 1800 this proportion rose to 17 percent, and in the nine years 1801-1800 to more than (51 per cent. We of the United States aro all immigrants or the decendents of immigrants. A proper pride on the part of recent immigrants in the land of their birth, and a reasonable desire to secure that recognition which is due to their numbers and importance, should lead all persons of foreign birth to welcome the census enutner ator and to answer His questions willingly and accurately. ROIIBKI) TI1E GRAVK. A startling incident, of which Mr. .IoIiii Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows : "I was in a most dreadful condition.

C., May 25. ?The industral commission in its report to congress recommends improved legislation to State legislatures rather than to congress directly. "The subject of greatest publie interest today," says the report, "is perhaps that of regulation of the hours of labor and esimrbdlv in fivetnrhw J ,J As congress lias no power to legislate directly on this matter the commission recommends that a simple statute he enacted by all the States regulating the length of the working day for all positions. The employment of children below the age of 14 years should be prohibited in the factories. Whon vou n?U for Or M. A.

Sam Jones on Ben Tilltnan.?The Confederate Veterans Meeting At Heath Springs.?Local Laconics. Hev. Sain I?. .Jones writing to j the Atlanta .Journal! under date of May 15th. from Baltimore, has this to say about Hen Tillman : "I have watched with some interest the career of Hen Tillman and I believe in him became ho ; has the courage of his convict ions, j We need him in the United States senate with his pitchfork and all. Hen Tillman is a bigger man today than any day in his life. lie is more highly ester no d I by his friends and in >re fe red and hated' bv his enemies. He and old Senator Hoar say the strongest and the truest things that have been said on the floor of the seuale since the days ol Hen Ilill and Itoscoe ConKlin. Hen Tillman doesn't contiilnite much dignity to the senate, but he is a mixture of mule and billy goat. He hicks with one end and butts with Hie other.

It has been proven by abundant investigation that one pro| liiic source ol epidemic disease is | found in the inability of the germs lot such diseases to lodge in the mouth around the teeth and gums. A physician examined the teeth of the children of a certain school, lie tound disease germs present ! in almost every case. By careful .vaU'liing he discovered that those children whose teeth were kept cleanest suffered less from epidemic diseases. The neglected condition of the teeth is, therefore, a common cause of illness; indeed, if one takes the trouble o observe with what rapidity the tartar and cheesy matter accumulate around the teeth of people who are out of health, they will not he long in making up their minds that a thorough and ju- , dicious use ol I ho tooth brush is not very l;i.r from a means of - * grace. ) ^ $1()0 Reward *100.
