"Am I my brother's keeper?" is not simply the idle, evasive answer of a man brought to face his bloody deed, but embodies an eternal truth. In a 6trict and alarming sense every one is his '"brother's keeper", and responsible to a certain extent for the conduct ami destiny of others. This being true, not only must the drunkard answer to the great Judge of the Universe for his crime against himself and society, but for this crime the man who sold him the liquor that made him a drunkard, whether from behind the co inter of a bar room or a State dispensary, the An thorites that signed the light or license to ?ell the damning stuff, and every citizen who by his vote helped to legalize the traffic, are responsible, and, before God, if not before men with the drunkard himself, must, answer for the sin and crime. Not only is this true but all who because of indifference or standing aloof, do nothing to stop the sale of intoxicating liquors, are also responsible for thecrime of drunkenness, and participants in the destruction of human Jives, happy homes and immortal souls. The most shameless law ever placed upon the 6tatute books of a civilized, free people is the dispensary law of the proud state of South Carolina. Surely Satan must have exhausted his ingenuity when he inspired it, and all the fiends of hell must have exulted that the greatest infamy of the region of sin and darkness had been reproduced upon earth. Let every citizen of this commonwealth, who loves his State, is devoted to the best interest of his fellow citizens, and who will not be a partner in shame and crime, now that he has the opportunity, arise and help wipe out the stain upon the State, lift this iniquity from his people, and banish this curse from our borders. Vote for prohibition, and 60 vote for manhood, for happy homes, for the highest prosperity v of the state, and tor the interest of the Redeemer's kingdom.

After t he close of her school last Friday evening, MissSallie Wilson gave her pupils $ 1 awn party in the Court House yard. The little folks was promptly on hand m merry anticipation of a party all to themselves, and until refreshments were served, amused themselves in the cool evening air as only children can. The pale gleam of a crescent moon supplemented by the soft glow of Japanese lanterns harmonized well with the scene, and lent to it the effect of a "Midsummer Night's Dream,"' the children, like elves, disporting themselves upon the green-sward. Tables were spread in the open air, from which was served the most delightful ice cream and cakes of all varieties. The fun was kept up until a late hour, when the children went home to live over in their dreams the pleasures of the evening. Miss Wilson has much endeared herself to her school-children, and during the past eight, months has kept them well abreast along the flowery paths of learning.
