A HAI.FF! I. INFLt'KXCK. In our last issue was reproduced an editorial article from the Charleston News and Conifer, entitled "The Is sue: Taxpayer or Tiger," in which our Charleston contemporary charged that Tin* Advertiser was somewhat mista ken In its understanding of The News mid Courier s position as to the liquor .situation In Charleston. It then noes ?in to give ii> reasons for advocating the retention of the county dispensary. The Issue in Charleston Is reduced to a question as between the taxpayers ?and the blind tiners- not "blind" sim ply "tigers." Cut at heart, and it admits tin- laet. The News and Courier does not really Favor the county dispensary system: ii advocates that until the general as sembly WIM "give us something better suited to the peculiar needs of this community". We inter that the sys ii in of high license is lo re referred io. However, that is nol the point that we wish io stress. It Is the New.; and Courier's lack of mi!1! in the people of t'hhrloston an I its open chnrgo that these people are not InW abldlng; and further, that such an at titude is baleful Influence everted by a newspaper that should bend every effort to encourage a spirit of obe dience to law. no matter what the law. A3 a matter of fact, there may be 80mo foundation for this lack of faith: 'but 'h;?t is neither hero nor there. The New- and Courier has it in it* power to f ;?u*r to that spirit of law lesn'.--1 or to Beek daily to engender ? spirit of respect for law and to fos "tor its growth, To parade the fact ?dtiy after day that the laws of that city are not enforced and cannot be enforced will not aid in creating rev erence for law. The county dispen sary law is violated every day In Char leston, openly, flagrantly?would it be worse under prohibition rule? The News and Courier says that then the tigers would have open field, no com petition. Will the retention of the old law in Charleston bett"r eondl tions? Are the people growing more loyal to law under this rule? We can not see how they can. If prohibi tion is a good thing, let it he tried und enforced ;-s well as the Charleston authorities know how. If it is a had law. that i? the best way to kill it. The News and Courier says that if public sentiment were in favor of pro hibition then it would welcome the Closing up of the dispensary. That newspaper then merely reflects pub lie opinion: it has no voice of its own: it will not contend with the existing i sentiment, bad though it realizes it to he: simply says: "things are so and ao. let them be." We honestly believe that this atti tude la a pernicious Influence and tends to Increase the people's disre spect for law. The News and Courier lias a glorious opportunity to do some moulding of public opinion, Son Ices in School Indltoritinia The congregation ?>f the First Bsp? tlst Church is notified thai services frill, after tonight, be held In the auditorium of the new graded school building, until the work on the church is com id.i i*rayer meeting to* night v.iii be held as usual at the ? lull i ll. i'n ?ddenl Help* Orphans.

It hat! nil sorts of little flowers and bowknots sticking out from It, and every one of the crowd broke olT a piece to nibble on. When I went to pay the bill one Item surprised me. 'Eight dollars and a half for II dish' was something I didn't understand. 'What's it for?" I asked, pointing to this Item.
