pntfTtitmnnntTOininttnfn1 SE MHhhwwwww I PR0HIBI I DEPAF t H%?W>HHHW%wvv : JOEL E. BRUh John Brown and Sam Jones are oouatns and both spent a part of last Saturday in town. John is a fairly good farmer with big feet and k?uw>? *rnu ariH hill n nlentv to * lite on at home. Sam has a home with a goad little wife and six children to occupy it, but very little of anything else to make the home happy or comfortable. Mr. Brown most hare spent at least twenty dollars last Saturday. He bought cloth and shoes and sugar and coffee and tome play-things for the children. Hr. Jones showed no disposition to trade with onr merchauts. He first went, to the State's barroom and bought twenty oents Worth of ''chemically pure" and then stood on the , ftree); corner with the thing in his Docket waiting to find some thirsty w. W tool with whom bo coolU divide the liquor aad dispense small chat. The troth is, he had but two dollars iu the world and was making the most v. {f)ofit Duriug the afternoou he belabored his brain to determine how * he should spend the balance of his H money. He just had to buy ten v cents, worth of turpentine, for the children had feaftul colds, and there it was no getting out of twenty-five cents for tobacco. He thought they 'f Sight get through the week on ten cents' worth of sugar and five cents f )n coffee, and then he really must spend fifteen cents tor calico to cover the poor little baby. After these purchases were made he found he bad one dollar and fifteen cents left, i. The fifteen cents he determined to f keep, but as be had found his chief pie?are in the "chemically pure" | he coocluded to spend the dollar for no?e of it to carry home. *; It is not our purpose to follow the ^ ? two 1MB togtheir homes and show the happiness of the one and the misery pf the other. It will not take a Irifid imagination to picture the * mrriTall and the distribution of the rS handles. What we wish, is to show that there is another side to the questioo. It ire?y to see that Mr. v. . Brown's purchases were of such a ehsmpter ? to benefit not only his ||f dwh family, bnt also the parties from he bonght the goods. In fact, - ' Mr. Brown's labor was turned into the hooest channels of trade and planed him in such condition that he eon Id earn twenty dollars more. Mr. JoaeS spent sixty-five cents for the necessaries of life and exchanged one dollar and twenty cents with the State for six half-pint bottles of corn \ whiskey. It is fair to say the whiskey did not fit Mr. Jones to labor for a like amount of money. Whom, then, did the money benefit, and where did iVgo? A small part of it paid the running expenses of the dispensary While nearly all of it went out of the State to hny a like amount of liquor. k. / How the merchants of a town can say the liqnor business ^rings trade and prosperity to the place is beyond our ken. We can see how it gobbles - up the trade and brings poverty. Sony dollar taken in by the dispensary means jnst that much taken from the legitimate channels of trade Eg' . aad sent beyond the borders of our State for the benefit of liquor-sellers p\' elsewhere. Think of it, one million five hundred thousand dollars taken annual~ the State of South Carolina from her poor people in exchange for wounds and bruises and most of it sent off to liquor-sellers else f . where. When the people exercise so little I common sense in the management of their affairs, it is no wonder they are poor. The State pays about $640 to educate a hoy at Clemson or the Citadel, and then'employs the beet business talent she can get to work hiB twin. fc The motto of South Carolina: "Get the revenue; let the boys go to I the dogs." r * w ?

American physicians are largely responsible for I he increased use of all kinds of liquor among American women, says one of our contemporaries. Tl ?y prescribe stimulants in a large number of cases of invalidism among women, with the inevitable result that, whether salutary or not for the sick, the habit grows among the heath'ul. It is not a long step Irom hops to corn, from the brew to the still. Drink and Pray. The story is told of a Highland er who built a tavern near Abbots toad and called it "The Flodden Inn." He applied to Walter tScolt for a motto for the sign board. The novelist suggested "Drink, weary traveler: drink and pray." The man objected to his house becoming a kirk, arguing: "The more praying there is, the less drinking there will be, and 1 don't want that." Sir Walter suggested the omission of the letter "r" in pray, so that the motton might read, "Drink, weary tnveler: drink and pay." With this the "mine host" was delighted, and hundreds of his customers found out to their bitter sorrow that whilst drinking and praying go hand in hand, drinking and praying have not even a bowing acquaintance. The same ic true everywhere. What Whiskey Can Do. A friend ot temperance, says the Christian Herald, put upon our table an advertising card from a restaurant in Philadelphia. It proposes to regale and refresh the people in the "Oily of Brotherly w M mi . i Love." ine liquor snop mus aa vertised is very near Independence Hal', and persons visiting that patriotic spot can take it in their excursion if they are very dry. It is well for those people who never drink, to understand what privileges they miss, and also what philanthropists the rum-sellers really are.
