The Inconsistency Of those who Oppose
Temperance.


Temperance.
Editor Anderson Inteliigenccr'::
In what have to say in these few lines
prohibition and temperance will be taken
as meaning the same thing. In speaking
of those who oppose temperance do not
refer to those who keep bar-rooms, nor TO
those who are so blinded by into1icants
as not to be able to see any force in any
argument that might be offered in favor
of prohibition but refer to those gentle
men who, as they may see fit, frequent
bar.rooms and drink. Also to those who
do not use intoxicants, and yet will take
no stand against the licensing and sale of
whiskey. OF course they are in favor of
the sale of liquor, or presumed so to:be,
at least.
Now, as to the first of these, those who
frequent these saloons and drink, it is
not hard to see their Inconsistency. Can
it be supposed that these gentlemen would
stand by unconcerned and see their sons
or their clerks 60 to these places as often
as they do? No, indeed. But if it is
wrong for one to go, why not wrong for
the other? It has come to be fact that no
farmer wants laborer who drinks, and
no merchant will have a clerk if he know
that clerk to be regular drinker, or thai
he frequents bar-rooins. Now, where is
there any consistency in their doing what
they think makes subordinate unde-
sirable and actually Enthusiastically?
In passing would like to ask this ques.
ton: If drinking and drunkenness un-
fits man for place on the railroad, or
for clerkship in store, or for being a
bank officer, why is it that those who run
our State and County affairs persist in
r.v ,l,or Of RI ri
ing characters, can be safely intrusted
with these very important interests?
But to return. There are those who do
not think saloons proper places for them
to go; they see clearly that they cannot
bear the expense of frequent drinking,
and further they will not employ those
who 60 to such places or drink. And yet
these same men will do nothing to re.
move what to them would be an evil, and
to others must be severe temptation.
Persons in business bring young men
here into the midst Of new and trying
scenes, where they Klust be greatly tempt
ed, and yet am told that some of these
business men will not even sign "a paper
to ask for a vote on this important ques-
ton, in order that others may try to close
up these places of enticement, and put an
end to this unholy business. AS far as
getting signers for the. petition. is con-
cerned, 1 am thankful to say that over
twice as many names as were needed
have been gotten. But how can the per-
sons above referred to fail to see their in
consistency. They believe and say that
the sale Of whiskey is all evil, and yet
will render no assistance in trying to rc-
move the evil.
Ihave written the above not to censurc
or complain, but to try to persuade those
who are otherwise SO excellent, to aban-
don course which brings harm, and only
harm, to themselves and sets such hurt
full example to the rising generation.
And further to try to induce one and all,
to belp in removing this monster evil
| from our land. J. w. w.

Poisoned BY q Nurse.

Some eight years ago was ipoculated
with poison by nurse who infected my
babe with blood taint The little child
fingered along until it was about two
years old, when its little life was yielded
up to the fearful poison. For six long
years have suffered untold misery. l
was covered with sores and ulcers from
head to foot, and in my great extremity
/ prayed to die. No language can express
my feelings of woe during those long six
years. I had the best medical treatment.
Several physicians successively treated
me. but all to no purpose. The Mercury
and Potash seemed to add fuel to the
awful flame which was devouring me.
About three months ago was advised
by friends who had seen wonderful cures
made by it, to take Swift's Specific. We
got two bottles, and I felt hope again
revive in my breast-hope for health and
happiness again, But alas !! we had spent
80 much for medical treatment that we
were too poor to buy. Oh ! the agony of
that moment! Health and happiness
within your reach, but too poor to grasp
it. I applied, however, to those who
were able and willing to help me, and I
have taken Swift's Specific, and ara now
sound and well once more. Swift's
Specific is the best blood purifier in the
world, and is the greatest blessing of the
age.

The Newberry Observer very sensibly
remarks: with the Southern cotton
crop and the Western grain crop in the
I control OF giant monopolies, the farmer
who raises big cotton crop and little
grain crop is at the mercy of the gam,
his only chance for independence and
prosperity, is to raise his own hog and
hominy. and make his cotton his surplus
crop. This doctrine may be considered
stale, but it is true; and weshall continue
to preach it,"

-Fitz John Porter has been "white-
washed by the lower House of Congress,
the bin having received large majority.
Fitz. John Porter's case is one of those to
which sdistance lends enchantment."
While his actions were fresh in peoples
minds, and all the corellative incidents
were Of to-day, very few doubted his
guilt. He had been twice tried and found
guilty, but after the lapse Of years, new
evidence is discovered, which it is claimed
exonerates him, and commission of
army officers SO certify. This evidence
in substance is that, although he dis
obeyed Gen. Pope's order to move on the
enemy, he was justified in not doing SO
because If he had, the Union army would
in all probability have been annihilated,
as an unknown rebel force was in front of
him that would have crushed him. This
may be true, but there is no evidence Of
fered to prove that Fitz John Porter
fortunate for the Union army that he did
not obey orders but that this exonerates
him, is absurd What kind of discipline
could be expected in an army where every
General is allowed to Judge of the proprie-
iy ofan order. His motive for refusing was
in the interests of The Mcclellan clique
of Generals, who were angry at the re-
moyal of tho hero of the wheelbarrow and
spade, and didn't intend that any sue
cessor (unless he were of the clique
should excel their leader in warfare, and
to accomplish this intention they were
willing to peril the Union arms and sacri-
fee any number of soldiers. If about a
half-dozen Mcclellan generals had been
contaminated and shot at that time, 1t
would have saved the lives Of thousands
of Union soldiers, and have wonderfully
advanced the putting down of the rebel
lion. But Gen. Porter has been fyindi-
cated.' There is another distinguished
American general whose case should now
be tackled. The present Congress ap-
pears to be equal to the emergency. Let
them 'tyindicate'' Benedict Arnold.
