M. . AULL, ED1To. TUE TURKO-GREOIA1 WAto We deprecate war and with St. Paul would prefer, if possible, to live in peace, because, as General Sherman says, "war is hell." There is no doubt of that. It is a self-evident proposi tion and it has broken loose between the Turk and the Christian-the cres cent and the cross-and it is the wish of the followers of Mahomet to wipe the followers of the Prince of Peace from off the earth. It did seem, until recently, that pa triotism had "played" and was passing along with hero worship. But the spirit of Leonidas has returned to the Pass of Thermopylae-this time against Islam, and the splendid valor of Mara thon again displayed in the rout of the Turkish invader. It is well that Tur key is the aggressor! There has been a presentiment among the Turks and long since passed into a legend, to the effect that since they cut their bloody pathway into the heart of Europe the time would come when they would "leave their imosques ar d minarets and flee the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn." Is that hour approaching? The Truk might have remained in Europe unmolested had he not persist ently carried out his creed of extirmin ating the Christian "dog!" But for Turkish bonds placed in Eu rope, and the jealous rivalries of the so-called leading Christian nations, the deplorable and unblushing spectacle of "thrones and presses" and combined navies coercing Greece, might, never have been witnessed. But it has gone into history, and, with it the fact, that Greece, the smallest kingdom, is to all intents and purposes, at present the only leading Christian nation in Eu repel The sophistry of those who declared that Intervention for peace might pre eipitate greater trouble, is disproved by the quiet but determined action of England's great premier, Mr. Glad stone, in 1880, when with hell) of the then Czar of lussia, Turkey was forced to disgorge some of her stolen terri tory without war. General Grant V said that there was never a war that might not have been averted and ended some other way. The war is on, however. and none can really tell whether it shall be of long or short duration. The power are in some measure ctnfounded by their own vacillation. and it i not iimpoQ-i ble that entangling ditfluities might arise to bring abou t a con iagration of war. There are many (ue.-t1onjs in volved in what is known as the Eatern Queztion-'t is a grand tangle-and the present trouble may lead to an at tempted unwinding with far-reaching consequences. There is one pha-!e of the! question involving posSible contingenci.:s of in terest to us andthat is our productions. In the event of war Europe will make very large drafts upon us for food sup plies. England is never more than two weeks ahead of want and the seasons and crops are not altogether reliable. It is well to consider these things. A European war will produce a large de mand fo)r bread and meat and not for cotton. And the food lost on the forty thousand farms of the inundated see tions of the wvest together with a million bushels of grain burned at Clhi cago, help to lessen the year's supply. Let us plant largely of corn. Our cotemporary, the Observer, is right In desiring the sidlewalks for pe destrians. There is now an ordinance against riding on the sidewalk within certain limits, but during the had weather it was understood that this ordinance would not be strictly and literally enforced. As we said we be lieve the Observer is right and the sidewalks should be reserved for those -who walk and wheels should keep in the middle of the road. The ordinance requiring this should be adopted. The roads are good now, and when they are as good and solid as the sidewalk 'wheelmen will use the sidewalk. The Herald and News extends con gratulations to our friend, WV. W. Ball. We hope to have him and his bride at the meeting of the Association the lat ter part of May. The B3o1nest Memorial Window needs some more funds and those who have not contr-ibuted and desire to should not delay much longer. From letters received the indications are that wve will have the largest gath eaing of editors at Newberry May 25 28 that has assembled together in a long time. Letters have conme fromn editors and publishers who have never' been members of the association saying they would be here. We arc glad you are comning. We want this to be the largest gathering in the history of the Association. We are expecting all of you and wvill endeavor to make it p)leas ant for you.

[The Stato, 22d.] The Sunday school story of how the wise King Solomon determined the true i-)ther of a child to which two women laid claim is to be duplicated in the circuit court today. Governor El lerbo and Major B. B. Evans will take the pl)ace of the two disputing women of the Bible story and instead of claim ing the ownership of a baby they will cach claim to be the rightful and only owner of a sorrel mare whose gentle appellation is Sally. The jndgo and jury will not pat an end to the case in the brief manner of Solomon by order ing that the mare be cut into two equal pieces, one to be given to Mr. Evans and the other to Gov. Ellerbe. They will instead go through all the legal forms known. The mare, it is claimed by Mr. Ev ans, was bet him against $5 by Govern or Ellerbo that he would carry Ander son county in 1894 against Mr. John Gary 1,vans, his then opponent. The bet was accepted and the result is now known. Anderson went for Mr. Evans. Governor 1Ilci-bo then gave the mare to Mr. B. 13. Evans, so he clainm, in payment of the bet. Governor Ellerbe, on the contrary, says that never in his life has lie made a bet. lie only loaned the mare to Mr. Evans to drive and that since he has come to Columbia he asked to get her 1 back. This being refused he has brougnt this suit against, Mr. +vans to gain possession of what lie deems his rightful property. The case of W. II. IEllerbo against B. 13. Evans for the possession of the imare, "Sally," which both lay claim to, was called at 6 o'clock yesterday evening in the circuit court. The gov ernot' was present when the court an nounced that the case would be taken up. Major 13. Ii. Evais entered soon after, accompanied by his friend, Gen eral Watts. t The faces of the lawyers wore an ex pectait look whien the principals to the suit entere'.d. .\l.

I know that this old saying has gone the round; you have all heard it many a time. Now, after a long sight, Luke has shot, and lie thinks that lie has killed the bird, and says that lie is willing to give tip his gun. No, Luke, the bird is not dead you keel) your guii, yeu may need it agalin. I have often wished for the time to comie whein me and my old friend Kay's troubles were done. Hie's got a big mind, and would have a big sway, pro v'ided that I wvould give him his way. lIut you must remember, my dear' old friend, I'im one of those boys from around( the bend. I never do kick until i'm spurred'C(, then~ I let 'cum fly and it doesn't. matter' how high. Well, Kay, you say that Chips jump1) ed1 on you while you were gonie to At lanta and1( seemed to tinmk that it is not fare to jumpl on a1 mian in his absenice. Nowv, is it possible that you are trying to hold Chlips reCsponsible for' your' groat big prmoimnading in Nort,h ('aro lina, Greenville, Atlanta, and gr'acious knows hew nmnty other places. No sir, when Ch ips goes to wriite a letter' it's net his business to inquire if Kay is at homo. It seems that I am forced to have a little more to say about that dlispednsary matter as you have set me up before the public as an old liquor and dlruniken advocate. I want to say to the good people of Prosperity for whom I have always held the highest regard, and a pl)ell who have always been my friends. I am net advocating a liquor 81hop in your town as5 yourl honorable Kay would have it appear, and God forbid that I should ever' become so meddlesome into prli vate business of any kind. No, sir, Kay, Chips wouldn't give the snap of his inger whether your town has a die penisar'y or not. I am only advocating an obser'vancc of tihe laws of our land, and if you want to live up to the diuno21 laws, Kay, you must obey the law of our' land. I am not discussing the old barroom system at all. I am discussing the question that it is better to sell whis key according to law than to sell it, be hind the law. I said that your town is and always would be supplied with whiskey in some way or' othei'. and I think that I can substantiate the fact. My dear' old boy, whether I am de voted to my church or net don't mis ropresent me. I am only advocating the sale of whiskey in A legitimate manner. I think it is getting time for us to quit making a public display of our religion, for God knows neither one has more than he needs. What is the matter with you, old boy, were you in a trance or just talking in your sleep when you say that Chips Is advocating the sale of whiskey and Jenying your ttgers. You may call them tigers, lepers, panters, hyonas or lust anything that comes handy, but I tell you, my old friend, they are there ind it to no use of trying to rub the ract out. Where were you when Con itable Gardner came down to Prosperi ly about five weeks ago and arrested Roda Chapman and Bunk Adams for tiolating the dispensary law. You nust have been up in North Carolina ooking at Sal dancing with the man ,ith the store bought clothes on. The iext time you go off on one of those big Prips, old bud, you got some one to ceep note for you so you will not make iuch great mistakes when you come 1emo to write about Chips. I reckon rou remember that Leo Aikin is serv ng out a term oi the County chain fang at this time for selling whiskey t Prosperity. Now, old bud, I am >pposed to this illicit traille of whiskey mnd this Is why I told you that it was letter to have a dispensary than a >lind tiger. Now, I want to toll you hat I atri not hunting up blind tigers, his is out of my line of business, and >cople don't care to make aflidavits to hings that don't concern them, espe ially when there is no money conneet d. My dear old friend, if you will ust open your eyes and open your >urse to the amount of about 450 we vill show you more than Roda, Bunk ,nd Lee. So much for Prosperity with her dis ensary or no dispensary. Chips will be erfectly satisfied just as they fix it. Ve only defend what we conceive to be ight, and our position is if whiskey as to be sold let it be sold according > law. Now. brother Kay. here's my hand I fellowship of love assuring you that ll I have said ha- been in the best of unior. I am done now if you will let e alone. I will say to all those who -emed to think that Chips and Kay as hatching u) Ia fuss you ar badly ista&en. We always meet and laugh 'er our nonsense. CiIPs. April 19, 1897.
