In the test cutes from Florence, that were argtrcd before the Supreme Court, a few days ago, it was decided that prohibition is now in force. We have not space for the publication of the decision, but the mere statement of its tenor will be sufficient As things stand it is absolute prohibition and most re main so until the meeting of the Legislature. The Hkram> has never been in favor of prohibition, but as it is tin law, so declared by the highest tribunal of the State, it is the im- perutiye dnty of all good citizens to observe it, and use their influence tt prevent ita violation. Those who be lieve in the high Koense system will simply have to wait until the Legis lature meets and then present then side of the case. Even if prohib tiou is unwise it is at least houesi and stands on an entirely diffe/eni footing from such an iniquity as the Dispensary law. If those prohibitionists, who made themselves so conspicuous in ad vocating and enforcing the Dispen sarp law will now display the saim zeal in lighting for prohibition, the\ will, even if they accomplish in good, at least not be open to tin charge of insincerity. Is There IVtlhiag ii a Name t With all due resject to the great est of all dramatic poets, the immor tal Shakespeare, we are very much disposed to think that there is some thing in a name, and to furtbei assert that very often a man or an organization is serionsly handicapped by being given an inappropriate one, In thus differing from such an ac knowledged anthority os Shakespeare, we feel that we are almost as bold a* the backwoods preacher who slated, in a sermon, that St. Paul said that a certain thing was true, and that Dr. Clarke, the great commentator, agreed with him, but that lie begged leave to differ with both of thes< learned gentlemen, and so we will, with all due hesitancy, join issm with the dead dramatist This line of thought has beet suggested by the organization of the numerous military companies in our Slate, and as it seems that there are more to follow we take the liberty ol suggesting some names, the appro priateness of which we are sure will meet with prompt recognition ot the part of those who are int B rcste<l It seems that Governor Tillman and John Gary Evans are the only He formers that have been honored by having companies named for them, ^nd we submit that this is base in- gn.‘itnde. Why not name one foi B. 11. Hemphill and another foi Hngh Wilson, the great Dispensary advocate, but we refrain from furtbei remarks and will merely suggest tin names, leaving each command t< •elect at its pleasure.

They are in good financial condition, and it seems that their desire to make money off the old Confederate soldiers is' never satiated. We are tired.—Abbeville Press and Banner. Had the above article apjicnred in jSorlhern paper, it ;would have been met by a perfect storm of in dignant protest from the Southern .papers, and cited os an illustration of sectional animosity and misrep resentation. Its appearance in a South Carolina paper, edited by the president of the Press Association, who was a Confederate soldier, makes it infinitely werse, and in the highest degree, discreditable lioth to the head and heart of the writer. Jefferson Davis was a trnly great man in even- respect, both intellccn ally and morally, a patriot and i statesman and will stand ont in history as one of the most prominent tignres of the Nineteenth century. The defeat of the cause to which he gave the grandest and best years of his life did not, in the slightest degree, detract from the grand ner, nobility and dignity of his character, and the grand spirit he displaced in the hour of disaster, his devotion to his people under misfortune and his unswerving constancy to the prin ciples for which lie hod so heroically contended, made him, were that |K>ssible, greater in the dark hour of defeat than when the legions of Ijee were waving their blood-stained but triumphant banners in the awful storm of battle. When his cause whs lost, he, with .a dignity that challenged the admiration of the world, and without a murmur, re tired to the shades of private life, and never, on any occasion, did he either thrust himself upon the at tention of the people of the South or ask any assistance at their hands. Since his death Mrs. Davis has pur sued the same course and the charge that she is trying to extract money from the old Confederate soldiers is bolh cruel and false. She is in no wise to hlume if some of those sol di! rs wish to show their recognition of her husbands services by securing her a pension, which, we arc free to to say, if she needs she ought to have. It is to the everlasting glory of Kentucky to have given birth to such a man os Jefferson Davis, ami not only that State but the whole South, and we might also say the whole country, is richer for the in fluence of liis noble and unselfish life. His great soul is beyond the reach of calumny now, his memory is enshrined in the hearls of all who trnly love the South, with its grand history and traditions, no slander can, for one moment, dim the brightness of his imperishable fame, but while this be true, it is none the less the duty of those who were liying while he was at the head of the Confederate Stales to repel any reflections either m the character of the great dead or that of his loved ones who still survive. Other Southern papers may do ns it seems to them best, but one thing is very certain, and ibat is lh<;t no such reflections, ns made by the Press and Banner, will ever go un noticed as long as The Heu.vi.ii is under its present management, or the heart of its editor pulsates with love for his section or with grateful recollection of those truly illustrious men who have made it forever faraons in song and story.

' HirtL'/xf f-’a sHvSainn sin Nothing could more fofoibl# shdw the love of l he jieople of Darling ton, for our dead soldiers, than ihe tremendous out pouring of all classes of citizens yesterday afternoon to take part in the exercises <>f the day. The Methodist Church was lit led to its utmost capacity and large num bers of people were unable to gain admittance. The veterans, under Gen. James, about fifty in number, were escorted from the armory by the Darlington Guards, on reaching the chnrch they marched throngh the open ranks of the children and girls and boys, the veterans entering first, then the guards and the children last. While the procession Was entering the church Miss Jennie Hast, the organ ist, played a beautiful march. The exercites were opened by the reading of appropriate passages of Scripture by Kev. J. E. Carlisle. This was followed by a beautiful piece of innsic, sung by Messrs. Wild8,Jame8, Wood and Powell. A fervent and appropriate praver was then made by Rev. Mr. Carlisle. The exercises in the church were closed by an other fine vocal selection. Mr. Hngh Wilds had charge of the music and Miss Jennie Hast piesided at the organ. When all had gathered around the monument, the speaker, Kev. Mr. McAru, was very gracefully intro- dnceil by Mr. E. Keith Dargnn. Of the address, a part of which we publish, we have only space to say that it fully met the highest cx- pectatious of the audience and was unquestionably one of the finest memorial addresses that has ever been delivered in Darlington. After, the address a number of little girls sang a beautiful selection. They were accompanied by M rs. A. M. Woods on the organ and Mr, •Spinks on the cornet After this the floral tributes were laid on the monument and the large crowd slowly dispersed. There was a beautiful floral anchor, resting on a bed of pansies, placed on the monument in memory of Gen. Kershaw. Rev. A. U. McAn’s Address. Laiiies anuUenti.emex : When I received the invitation to deliver this address my first impulse was to decline. It seemed more proper that cannon, the rattle of musketry and the shunts of combatant's still rail through the world, and the smoke, the frowning hill, the grey lines mov ing steadily through the hail of death, the desperate death grapple mid the silent cannon will be re membered as long as the world endures. And a hundred battle fields witnessed the same deeds of valor and bravery. In the thickest of the fight these men laid th' inselves down by thousands to sleep the sleep of death. And the world talks of them and sings of them *ud wanders at them while they sleep— aye and will talk of them wherever true heroism is admired and loved. And what country does not envy the South her brave and noble women ? Those who fonght for their country with their prayers, their tears and their songs of Dixie: the wife as she girded her husband for battle and sent him forth to death. The mother as she brushed back the hair from the impatient brow of her boy and implanted upon his fair young forehead the last mother’s kiss. Oh! I have heard before oi the mother who gazed proudly upon her dead soldier boy. But never before have I heard of the mother who stood by her dead child and wept that she had no other sons to dedicate to country and to truth. Talk about your Spartan heroes with their brave deeds and Spartan mothers, bidding their sons return with or upon their shields. I tell you when in the centuries yet to come the world will seek for examples of heroism, patriotism and devotion to principle and truth, it will look not to Sparta but to the men and women of the South. And boast no more of I'olaud and Switzerland with their great deeds and brave men. Their deeds are equalled, their bravery surpassed, their glory eclqMted by the soldiers of the Southern Con federacy. It is a significant fact that so imuiy have gathered together to-day to revive the memories of the past. Women by their presence honoring the cause they so much loved. Grey haired men showing by their pres ence that the fires of patriotism have not burned to ashes upon the altars of their hearts. Yonng men and women showing in their very faces the spirit of their fathers. But in S. A. WOODS & CO. We take pleasure in Announcing to our friends that we have, for their inspection, the best selected and most beautiful Stock of Dress Goods. that we have ever handled, which will be sold at prices that are astonishingly low. We have also everything in the way of the glorious history of our fathers. The war was not fought in vain, nor did our heroes die in vain. As year by year we thus recall the niepi- ories of the past and summon onr dead from the fields of Virginia and the plains of the Carolinos, let the enemies of truth trembie. There is a tradition in Switzerland that William Tell the champion of Swiss liberty slumbers in his grave, and if Switzerland shall ever need Ids help, rising from bis slumber and passing down the mountains, he will lead the Swiss once .nore to glory anil liberty. This is but a superstition. But it i. more than a superstition that tells us our dead heroes but slumber. Let honor be impugned, let courage be questioned, let homes be threatened, let country be imperiled or truth assailed, and me thinks a hundred thousand sepulchers will give up their dead, a hundred thousand heroes will rise from their slumber, a hundred thousand swords will leap from their scabbards, a hundred thousand gray uniforms will move once more throngh the smoke of buttle. Once more the hills throb with can mm, onee more the wild charge to the trembling ramparts, once more the surge and din of battle once more the wild rebel yell far np the bristling battle heights, once mere the mad shont of victory. These men are not dead. They can never die. They have taught their sons whether they wear the blue or gray to fight for honor and truth. We still see their gray uniforms moving through the smoke of battle. We still see the marks left by their bleeding feet upon the desperate march. Ay and we sec too the tears of our mothers, tears of agony but never of shame. And by the most sacred thing of earth, our mothers tears and our fathers blood, wc swear we will guard well the name they have left ns,—ai name clothed with honor and glorv. 1 They have taught us to honor and tliey Avill find everything they need in the i 1 * 9 Etc.

Young. the scene of battle and show ns these men as they moved through its smoke and thunder. Bnt after ni»re mature refiection it seemed exiindit- ly proper that one of a younger generation should lay this tribute npon the graves of our Southern soldiers. It is high time that the young men and women of the South should let the world know that they are proud of the courage of their fathcis and prond of their glory, that they honor their indomitable spirit, revere their hallowed memor ies and love the cause for which they died. We rejoice to-day that the sword and cannon sin miter. But we rejoice because this peace was born mid the clouds and smoke of battle and snatched from the red-mouthed cannon. It was accepted only when the country conld demand no more of her brave sons—when honor was unstained, courage unquestioned and truth was vindicated—otherwise we would blush at the very name of peace. With snch u cause us this we fear not the veidiot of history. We go before the world’s tribunal with supreme oonfidtnce in our cause. And yet we arc told to stop discussing these questions. Yes, lot us stop discussing them with bit terness and passion. But we will not stop discussing them dis passionately and looking calmly at the stern, undying facts of history. We will not by onr silence condemn ourselves. We will not let the North persuade the world that we were wron2 and tell the younger gen eration of the South that their fathers were traitors. Yonng men of the South learn to honor and de fend the cause for which your fathers died. Young women of the South learn to love the cause for which your mothers suffered, and prove yourselyes worthy of this legacy they have left you. The South takes her place in history and in song with Greece, 1’olund, Switzerland, Scotland and the original thirteen States as champ ions of truth and liberty—her glory no less bright because she lost. That was a wonderful stand the brave t>00 made at Thcrm6i>oluc. That was a dcathles* charge the brave JOO made at Balaklava. The world still sees through the smoke of Waterloo the charge of the Old Guards against toe adamantine work. No uniform they wear, but volumns conld not tell of braver deeds than the simple words, they wore the gray.

If the South bad a Westminister Abbey for her great dead the world would vandalize it and claim our heroes as its own.

A great country had sworn to protect it, heroes were dying to save it and a mighty nation was to hail it as the emblem of its freedom and holies. It droops sadly to-day—the ragged emblem of a lost •cause. But we love it for the mem* ories that cluster around it. We love it for the glory it has won. We love it for the cause it represents. We love it for the tears and blood in which it was bathed. Ds pierced folds and shattered shaft tell how brave men died. Planted upon the battle heights, it told the foe where heroes stood. Moving proudly on to where the cannon thundered it told the waiting foe that heroes came to win or die. Hail to the tii.g which has waved proudly over a hundred desperate conflicts mid fallen from the nerveless gnisp of nameless heroes. Hail to those drooping folds which even in defeat have never trailed.

You have taught us how to fight, and, when fighting could pot avail, you have taught us how to live If great deeds, brave heroes and a just and noble cause are the criterion, when the volume of history shall have been closed, there will not be a brighter page than that inscribed to the South. When history calls the roll of Nations, foremost among them all will stand the Southern Confederacy, grace in every motion, beauty in every lineament, clothed it is true in the garb of mourning —njion her face the paleness of woe—her cheeks stained with tears, but. shining in her eyes the cleart light of an undying imiqiose and tt jam her pule forehead the crown of Eternal truth — more glorious by far than the wreath upon the vic tor’s brow.
