A merry CItri»tma» lo our reader*!
Whnt the blessed Sunday is to each
week the Christmas week is to the year.
It is the time to rest before enterinjt
upon the toils of another year. It is the
time to pause and reflect on the past,
to gather the lessons of our experience,
to regret errors and trinagressions, to
repent of misdeeds and to form good
resolutions fo. the future. It is the time
to cultivate our hearts, to make smiling
and happy the faces of wires and hos*
bands asd children, to remember the
poor, to help the afflicted and to strength-
en the tic* of relationship. To ns now
as lolhe Shcoherds near Bethlehem,the
angels sing “peace on earth and good will
to men.’’ Cease strifes and quarrels,
permit bygones to be bygones, and with
fresh and kindly hearts, let us one and
all, enter upon the new year.

What better Christmas news could we
give our readers f For many weeks a
groat dread baa oppressed the hearts of
all true South CaroliDians. Day after

over and that the State, just when she
most needed him, had lost her noblest eon.

As a friend to the pubtfc weal you wiB
rejoice to hoar that an efluft is bqjug
made to s'op the traffic in human hlomfl
clypt liijirr iclling, in the town of Tin*
moiisville. The following qielitian hair
already received the signatures of about
two hundred persons from the communr
ty, comprising largely the worth and in
tellect and by fir tee larger part of the
wealth of the entire sectiou. In fact no
one refuses his signature except those
directly interested iu the jnvtiu of the
business and a few who carry bottles
about the streets iu their pockets. Noth
ing now but a successful move nn~rtre,
part of the interested to put such men
into office, as a town council, as would
be as “deaf as adders," though every
woman aud child ia t* e community
came on bended kuee before them, can
possibly defeat the movement. This
must, if possible, be met aud guarded
against. We must Dot so soon forget
the State watchword, “the bttt men for
nj/irr " Still unless tha rule to keep all
liquor out of eleeiioua—which our State
authorities have tried of late to enforce—
can be carried out, it is feared that a
drunken rabble may carry the day. God

MEMORIAL.
117 . m/s, Experience haa proven that
the u.-e of ardeut spirits is attended with
great evil, morally, socially nud finan
cially, to individuals and communities
and brings as its physical consequences,
disease and death ; and
Whereat, Investigations by skilled
meu have revealed the fact that alcohol
is a subtle aud sure poison ; while ha
effects are ao deceptive that it gives bo
warning to the ignorant and unwary uo
til it has completely entrapped them,
aud becomv a necessity to their comfort,
out to say the object of an insane aud un
controllable appetite ; and
H’heteat, The publicly offering fur
sale of this article, so insidiously ruin
ous iu its effects, yet so enticing in Us
nature, ia a violation of all decency aud
propriety, an outrage on the moral
sense of the community and a publio
nuisance, greatly increasing the aggre
gate effeo'i of it* use aud conducing pi
immorality, want, disease and death ; and
H’/iereui, There are those in our
midst, whom we once knew ns pureuud
upright youtha and meu who have be
come enslaved to its use; and umuj
more just growing up who are daily aud
hourly exposed to it* seductions ; arid
Whereat, To legalise this traffic gives
it a certain degree of countenance aud
greatly facilitates tho pr-gress of the
evil ; and
H'Wcns, Its countenance iu the town
of Timmousxillc is due not to the law
the State, nor to tho authority of th
county officials but to the voluu ary .suf
ferance of the municipal council; and
Whe/tm, Nut ty throw some ioiledu
\ in—1 ii> tha puth£f those who are iinlij
way or expoaed to ru a is to beenmn our
selves guilty, to say nothing of the wrong
of permitting otburs for a cvtuuiUrati'in,
to “put the bottle to theif neighbor s
mouth,” nud no becomwig .partakers nth
them ; and 1 - ‘ i ' ' Pi
Whereat, The life, not to say salra
tion, of one human being is of more
value thau the few hundred dollars rais
ed by licenses; and
Whereat, the interests of tho cnmmn.
nity would be better subserved by rais
ing a revenue, if necessary, by dircetiy
taxing the property of the cititena, than
by thia “sale of indulgencca” in respect
to what we all feel to be wrong, and
even apparently seeking to legalise whut
the great Law-giver and Judge does m>l
and never will legally, vit : the deliber
ate cold blooded murder of our fellow
men.
Therefore, Wo the undersigned citi.
zena of Tiiuinonaville nud thu surround
ing country, fueling that the material,
moral, social and spiritual condition oj
the community and of the town of Tim
monsville would be thereby promolcch
do humbly pray your honorable body
that you will after this date renew no
existing licenses for the sale of iutoxi
eating spirit* and grant no new ones, tu
the cud there maybe noplace ip th'
town where persons may purchase th*
article ; for tbe grunting of which afore,
said prayer and petition wo will ever
cheerish a grateful reincmberance. i

A lilliunaire’a Sentence.
The sentence of John S. Morton, the
president of the Philadelphia Street
Railway Oompnnv, who pleaded guilty
to the ctlurge ol fraudulent-over-issue ol
stock, to a ten year's imprisonment, and
solitary confinement ut that, in the East
ern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, must
strike every one as an instance of strict
justice, thouah iu its solitary feature,
snoutd that prove all the word implies,
rather severe. Morton's “operations”
resulted in a loss to the company which
confided it* affairs to his custody of two
million* M dollar*. His pica of guilty
was doubtless inude, not from any feel
tog of contrition, hut with the object of
procuring a mitigation of his sentence,
and this the court seems to have under
stood and appreciated In the course of
his ten year's confinement Mr. Morton
will have a fall opportunity to teflect
u on the error of his ways, und to bring
fifft h fruits meet for repentance In the
meantime the example will be salutary,
and that, after all, is the principal mut
ter whieh society should take into con
sideration.
The New York Timet says that “the
indifference shown by Republican Sena
tors tu M . Blaine's investigation is due
to personal jealousy,” whilst the New
York Evening Pott ascribes it to a grow
ing conviction that the movement is un
timely nud .will be unproductive. The
restduliou of inquiry passed easily Tu b»
day. but, now that the investigation is
ordered, nobody, not even Mr. Blaine
hini*»lf, seems to wish Io have anythiug
to do with it.
