THE HEAL OFFENDER.
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.

chase no more export beer from the

SPECIAL 12LBCTION ORDERED.
Florence Voter* to Determine Wheth?
er Improvement Bonds Shall be Is?
sued.
Florence, April 7.?The city coun?
cil of Florence has at last ordered
the election or the question of sew?
erage and extension of the water sys?
tem. The ele( tion is to be held on
the first Thursday in May, the same
day and time that the election for
municipal officers will take ph e. A
separate box will be placed at the
polls, and the property holders of
the city will be given the opportunity
of voting for or against tht issue of
$80,000 of bonds for the purpose above
noted. Sixty-five thousand is for sew?
erage, and $1 5 000 for extension of
water mains, etc. There is little
doubt but what the citizens will vote
for the issue v ithout any serious ob?
jection.
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.

THE MY STEH Y OP DEATH.
Why Slioulcl Innocent Children Die
ami Doving Mothers Urfteve?
(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.
