Yet these are en titled to some allowance or excuse for licensing these low carnivals when they have had no experience with them Hut after they have orp e had one in their midst and have had an oppor tunity to sei> what any ordinary mind could not fail to see, that they are low vicious and without a redeeming fea ture, and only calculated to debauch and demoralize the young, they no longer have an excuse. The moral welfare of a community should be hold to be of far more value than a little paltry license derived from those nuisances, that take away tho hard earned money of many a poor fellow, and what is Immeasurably worse, spread vice, disease and crime. We don't mind a decent circus, or any Innocent amusement or entertain ment but may the Tx>rd deliver us from any more carnivals. Self respect, together with a due regard for the morals of a community to say nothing of our obligation to tho church and to sacred things should impel thinking men ?nd women to re fuse to go about a carnival or In any way to lend thfira encouragement. And then the weaker classes ought to he protected. No town should license one any more than It would a gabllng (1 n or liquor or beer saloon. Observer.

Pons to the Cincinnati Enquirer and reproduced in The News and Courier yesterday ought to be humiliating and seriously disturbing to every Charles Ionian who loves bis city and has its welfare at heart. Probably Mr. Pons when he visits Charleston ;igain, as it is staled that he will do soon, will deny the authenticity of the remarks attributed to him. We take it they were not Intended for the edification of the people of this city, where no publicity is desired at this time for Mr. Pons' racing plans, whatever they may be; hut the interview ringt; true and, alas that if it should be BO, the worst of it Is the reputation which Mr. Pons ascribes to Charleston is that which it enjoys generaly among the members of the fraternity of which ho is a shining light. How much longer is .his state of things to continue? Is not the com munity in general and the business community in particular awakening to the realization that a city of less than thirty thousand white people cannot support the vices of a great metropolis and that their toleration, nay, their patronage, breeds an atmosphere sti fling to healthy development? Surely it Is not possible that citizens of Charles ton will feel no sense of outrage that a man like Pons can continue to give out interviews in various parts of the country in which lie talks with calm assurance of being allowed to conduct a racing meet here in open defiance of the law? Put there can be no protec tion against and no relief from such experiences while conditions in Char leston remain as they now are.?News and Courier. MONEY BACK REMEDY FOR DANARlFF.
