their cause, aud arr rrdoublimg their eff

thought TO anticipate the Pruhibitionists

is not likely to he roquited with Success
Not only have many signcrs of former
whisky petitions, signed the Prohibition
petition, but some others who have sign
cd this last petition have also signed for
Prohibition; whilst still other signers o
former whisky petitions refuse to sign
either of which counts against wills
ky. The Ladies of the Womnfs Christian
Temperance Union have gone heart and
soul into the good work, and are now cir
culating anti-whisky petitions with their
own hands. We have no words to cx-
press our commcndation and sympathy
for these noble, unsclfish ladies who are
thus laboring for the common GOOD, nor
have we any conception of the nmke-lIp
of the obdurate masculine humanity
which can resist their appeals for an
undeniably good cause and sign and pub
lish their names to the world as the sup.
porterS of an evil one.

He DennurS.

Editor of The Leader
Much has been said by you and Others
laying all of the responsibility for the
sale of whisky in this town on the men
who sign petitions praying to have license
granted. Prohibition speakers and our
preachers in the pulpit have charged that
the men who sign these petitions by such
act become silent partners" i'll the bust
ness and are morally responsible for all
the crimes, poverty, drunkenness and
widows and orphans tears that result
and God knows there have been enough of
such but they seem all too ready to ex-
cuse the "oren partner" the man who
sells the poison. am willing to admin
what has been said about the responsible
ity of whisky petition signcrs, Int not as
ready as soHc others to saddle them with
ALL of the blame making them the scapc
goats, so to speak, OF the seller. How is
license obtained Docs some citizen,
who has no peculiarly interest in the mat
ter, draw up petitlon.pr Tint the
State law be snspcnled-as you put it,
Mr.. Editor--in order that Nj. So-and-So
may sell liquor for the benefit and accom-
mediation of the public! Or has there
| ever been Il public meeting held and reSo-
lutions posed to the effect that it would
be acceptable and beneficial to this COM
munity to have whisky saloon opened,
and recommending the appointment OF
some man as an acceptable person to sell,
and that petition be circulated to this
effect according to Law No, sir. not at
all. But when u man in this town gets
up petition he starts it without ii bit of
solicitation from any body, and he does tt
to make money, if it sends his best friend
to drunkard's grave and his wife and
CHI ldren to- the poor house !. lie has no
concern as to whether it is n benefit or an
accommodation the conminityto OF not.
He circulates, or HIRES somebody else to
circulate this petition industriously and
Professionally, and takes it as a declaration
of personal unfriendlness for man to
refuse to sign it. ole who is not for me
is agai nst me, he is ready to say with all
the assurance Of the Son OF Man himself,
and the man who refuses is caused to feel
that he will he s'remembcrcd" Many a
man who would fain not sign liquor pc
ton has been constrained in this way to
do so. He knows. it's wrong, his con
science smites him, he wishes, there never
was such thing in the world as whisky,
and-and then he puts his name down to
have it sold right where he is morally
convinced it will destroy his own neigh
bors and possibly his own children. Fve
been therel but thank God, I've sign
ed my last. Friendship and gain pur-
chased at such q price are too dear foi
me, and when ] make another such
compromise with the Devil may my right
arm wither!

Another Fire.

Brookhaven was the victim of another
fire last Saturday morning about day
light, by which the two frame buildings
between the st. Marco Hotel and
Old Court House, on Front street
were totally consumed. They were
worth about 300 each, and were
nearly fully covered by insurance. One
was occupied by 4. Stati'rr as u jewelry
shop, and the other by Pink Magre as a
family grocery store and by Lun Phillips
as negro barber shop. Magco lost
evcryrything, but had his stock fully COW
cred by insurance. Staffler saved his
most valuable jewelry, but says he, lost in
jewelers. tools, brcakaSe, etc, some 500,
Oh which he had no insurance.
The store Of j. Il. Nalty, under the
Old Court room, was in imminent danger,
and his stock was greatly damaged by
being thrown into the street, bat We
are glad to learn all damage is covered
by insurance a-
The fire was undoubtedly the work Of
an inceudiary, an attempt having been
made several weeks ago to fire the same
building. Our gallant. tiremen, as usual,
distinguished themselves, the colorcd fire
men doing exceptionally good work. In
fact, it was only through the timely eff
forts of the ircmen that the whole front
Of the block was not swept by the de-
vouriug flames.
