WASHINGTON, November THE Alb.
beyville, s. c., Mdium draws the follow
ing curious picture OF the effect Of the late
campaign excitement upon the best sec
tions OF the community:
Protane swearing is on the increase in
this section. We have particularly OBJ
served this since the beginning OF the
campaign. There is no reason why this
should be the case, for II any vice Ia use
less and without excuse 1t Is that OF bias
phemy. Whisky will make man feel
good, aud It grRtlfes taste. Some mo-
mentary pleasure may be derived from a
drink, and in case OF sickness there may
be some medicinal virtues in alcohol. The
pistol may be Of use In elEdefenSe, and
there may be some pride and qualification
in a shooting match. Pistols aud whisky
may be Of use in exceptional cases, but
pro'Aoe swearing Is utterly without any
value. II will not cure a man OF sickness
and has no medicinal virtues.
The worst feature about this evil is that
the habit is becoming popular with church
members. and it brings reprosCh upon re.
ligion. The other day we heard several
men who stand well in church ripple out
all kinds Of oaths. They prolAned the
name OF God without tc'uple and their
blasphemy was so frequent and pro.
nounced as 10 make the worldly minded
shudder. The vice Is not confined to any
particular denomination: B4ptists, Meth.

full and disgraceiul and every man Of them
should be turned out of church. The
habit is sbhorrent to civilization, morality,
decenCy and Christianity.
