The Drunkard Is the Criminal Nut the Liquor Kellern. To the Editor of The Dally Rem: I have yet to hear of any one who thinks that a tree with nlnee fruit "good for food" and "pleasant to the eyes" caused the fall of mankind In the Garden of Eden. We all know without a doubt, that heeding the voice of the tempter and indulging the appetite caused that fall. He who planted the tree and forbade the eat? ing of its fruit also gave us wine and strong drink and has forbidden '* 'unkenness and we should all obey without challenging his wisdom or lustlce. No one is compelled to get drunk because some one else has liquor for sale. Obeying the voice of that same old tempter and indulging the appetite is the cause of all the "sorrow and crime, pauperism, Im? becility and degeneracy" for which the liquor business Is blamed. Con? trol this cause and these evils will disappear like flame when the fuel Is exhausted. Ignorant, indeed, are they who do not know that when they have taken one drink too much they ha>e broken God's law and yield? ed to Satan. The liquor dealer may not caro for the trouble caused by I drinking, neither does the drunkard. He knows that if he were to murder his wife by overwhelming her with sorrow, and depriving her and his children of the necessities of Ife. thus Inflicting the most painful death pos? sible. th.it no hand would be laid upon him. He would not he punished In this a arid. One who will not he mov?-d to repentance by the wailing cry of his Innocent and suffering chil? dren the pleadings ..f a heart-broken wife, mother Of sister will not he gov - i i \ .1 law prohibiting the sale of Intoxicants. Such a law would be an Inconvenience to those who might need wine or liquor lor lawful and prop, r uses, and would keep law? abiding citizens from sidling them, hut would help, rather than kinder, the U"tst class of liquor dealers the blind t gers The dispensary law Is a prohibition law mo far the private olttaon HI I one. ted, and blond, even woman's blood, lias been shed !n the effort to enforce It. but still there are plenty of tigers In South Carolina. I am sure I would vote, If I could, for a reform? atory for drunkards and a law to punish those found guilty of drunk t an? s.S. We know that fathers and sons have a great deal of influence over each other, but the Prophet Ezekle! makes It very plain to us that neither is to be accountable for the sins of the other, and we should not blame the liquor dealers, whose business 1m nor forbidden, for the sins of the drunkard, whose crime is forbidden.

Charleston. April 7.?The Charles? ton county dispensary hoard will pur? chase no more export beer from the local brewery and bottling plants, un? less the beer is bottled in Charleston.

THE REASON WHY. A Contemporary Tells Why Some Boys iio to the Hud. (From the A iderson Intelligencer.) Some people think it a mystery i that, notwiihstandlng good advice. their boys grow up to be wild and I reckless men. If these boys were taught from Infancy that home was the place for them after dark, rather than prowling around the streets annoying well and sick people alik<\ much of thl.-! mystery might be ex? plained, and young men with better j moral character and more intelligent minds would be the result. No par? ents need expect pure morals in a boy that prowls the streets at night, even if be dots go to Sunday school. ?DeWltfi Little Early Risers, the best known pills ami the heel pllli made, are easy to lake and aet gent* ly .mil are certain.

(Orangeburg Times and Democrat) Often does one hear good people consoling a mother, distracted over the death of her darling child, by tell? ing her that a mysterious Providence ? has taken it from her for wise reas? on* and that she must And comfort in her bereavement. We have even heard ministers of the Gospel talk that way, but we could never believe that God takes from devoted, loving parents the beautiful child just bloom? ing into youth. Why would He? Would the Creator of harmony pro? duce discord? Would the nuthor of health and beauty smite His noblest work ere it is finished?a work Into which He has endowed with aspira? tions and possibilities as high a? Heaven itself? In our blindness we misjudge Him, who has fashioned the human body so wonderfully and fear? fully wrought, that it may withstand ravages of time for a century. God does not murder nor torture His chil? dren. He if ther tries in a thousand ways to induce them to keep the laws of health, which if obeyed, would carry them to a rH>e old age. He tries in every way to prolong life after we have forfeited every right to it and have become rc^elees drones. He does not only preserve our souls, but our bodies as well if we will only obey His laws. ?Foley's Honey and Tar is a safe? guard against serious results from Spring colds, which inflame the lungs and devolp Into pneumonia.
