LIE WAR AGAINST WIIIsKEY.
Tho Grand Division of tho Sons of
Temperance of South Carolina
will meet in Columbia on July %,
and one moro effort will be made
to place the organization upon an
efficient working basis. The CO.
operation ofall tho old temperance
workers is most earnestly invoked.
So far but little practical good has
ovor been accomplished by any Of
the temperance organizations Of
this State; but now that public
opinion is thoroughly aroused
upon tho subject OF strong drink,
it is hoped that some measures
may be adopted for the protection
of society by restricting tho use
and sale Of intoxicating liquors.
Restrictive ordinances have al
ready been passed against tho sale
OF whiskey in several Of our towns
in tho State, and the grand Jury
Of nearly every county has spoken
out manfully against the curse of
alcohol. The time is propitious
for an organized attack along the
whole line-not a crusade Of sing
ing women in tho streets, but a
well-directcd plan of action to
suppress by every legal means a
traffic which has done SO much to
impovcrish and degrade the people
and has acted as constant feeder
to our jails and pcnitcntiary.
This is a cause which should enlist
the sympathy not only Of cvcry
good Christian, but Of every true
patriot.-News and Courier.

days. It was discovered week age that
there were full 5000 illegal names registered
in this city, and Immediately afterwards the
streets were filled with strangers OF the
worst character. Even since the publication
| Of the forged Garfield letter violent partisans
have striVen to make an issue Of the Chinese
question, and the Democratic press has been
filled with articles asserting that as soon as
Garfield was elected the State would be flood
ed with Chinese and all white labor driven
out. Saturday night the Democrats had 8
procession, carrying transparancies with in
scriptions and cartoons tending to excite AMI
mosities against the Chinese. A considerable

TrOublOus Ireland.

NEW YORK, October 31.-The Worzd's
! London special says: The greatest anxiety
i is felt in all quarters over the issue of the
two political events which will occur in
Ireland tomorrow and Monday. Shonld it
pass off without serious violence, it will be
more than the government has reason to
expect in the present temper OF the people.
Tomorrow afternoon there will be an im-
mense agrarian demonstration at Bantry
in the comfy of Cork and on Monday there
| will be another one in the same town, when
Healy and Walsh, Land Leaguers, who were
arrested at the instance of the Attorney Gen.
eral on the charge of intimidating a farmer
named Mannering, will be granted prelimi-
nary hearing BY the magistrate. This meet
ing is only q prelude TO the trial. The par
ticipants in the meeting will remain until the
legal proceedings have terminated; conse-
quently the quiet town of Bantry will be the
scene of much dangerous excitement for
some days.
Most Of the prominent men Of the
Of the land league will address the meeting,
which is very properly looked upon as likely
to be the turning point in the present agita-
tion A formidable concentration of the peo-
pie is openly conductedi ii the neighborhood
Of Bantry, and the government is just as
openly concentrating the constabulary at
that point. Should these two forces clash to-
morrow Or during the examination of Walsh
and Healy, the result would probably be an
instant uprising of the people from Con-
naught to Cork.
A cattle to the World says: The an
nouncement that the Earl Of Bessborough
has joined the Land League is the important
news Of the day in matters pertaining to
Ireland. Great Importance is attached by
all parties to this important alliance, as the
Earl of Bessborough is not only very large
land holder in Ireland, possessing nearly
50, 900 acres in the counties Of Killarney,
Carlow, Tipperary and Waterford, which
yield him rental of more than 10000
pounds sterling year, but is a brother-in-laW
to the duke of Richmond, and of Gordon,
lord president Of the council in the Beacons-
field government, and has himself twice held
high Office in Her Majesty's household.
Taken in connection with the bundering of
the government in the proceeding SO far un-
dertaken against the Land League, it prefg-
ures the formation of counter current of
opinion il Ireland among the property hold
ng classes, which may relieve the Land
League movement OF the country and sur
give the character sought to be impressed
upon il by the agents of the government.
