WE ARE OPPOSED TO IT.-Bishop
p. F. Stevens advocates Il marriage Ii
cense law. The Bishop is 4 good and
wise man but we think he is off the
track on this matter. Marriage ought

ought to encourage rather than hinder
SO honorable an undertaking us two
young people seeking matrimony. Our

FOREST FIkEs.-Orangeburg was al
most surrounded by forest fires for
several days last week. They could be
seen in every direction, but SO far we
have not heard of any material damage
done by them. The long dronth that
we had had made these fires burn with
great rapidity and destructivenass to
trees and fences. The sleet and rain Of
last Friday night however completely
extinguished them all, which was Il
great blessing.

A Third Party.

1t will be seen by examining the
Platform laid down by the Prohibition
Convention of Maryland which assemb
led in Baltimore last week, that the
Convention advise forming distinct
political party, and the nomination of
candidates for the next Congress. This
extreme measure we suspect was in
fuenced by the hot headed Daniels.
Men like Laniels and st. John make
ex client line officers but are the most
unsafe generals. They have hammer
ed 50 long and steadily at The one thing
that they believe the whole world is
imbued with their leading passion as
strongly as til ey are, and is ready to
rush headlong, elmelI into an election
with their pet principle, convinced
every man who claps their telling
speeches is ready to abandon all else,
follow their advice, ane vote their man
into office. This always proves to be
an error of judgment on their part, and
q calamity to the cause they are allowed
to lead like knight Grants into defeat.
We want to carry and establish firm
ly the prohibition law for this county
at the Congressional election next fall,
and the temperance men will act wise
ly if they confine their efforts to the
work they are able to do and not load
it down and defeat it by shouldering a
candidate for Congress along with it.

Whiskey.

The Democrat reasons for opposition
to the present prohibition law-ol any
other for that matter-is OF very logi-
cal. In answer to our query wi it
favored rum selling the Democrat says:
ut is opposed to The present so call
ed prohibitory liquor law, be- ause
that law is favorable to fire whis,sey."
If even free whiskey" was anv more
poisonous then licensed whiskey this
would not be a very strong reason for
the choice. The spirit and inten ion
of the law are right, we take il for
granted the Democrat will admit, ut
the Court and juries do not enforce it.
Public opinion undoubtedly susta MS
the law or the vote would not hs We
been SO overwhelmly in favor of it,
ard the growth of 40 years in public
opinion does not wilt and weaker in
a day.
Would 1t not be better to inquire
why the prohibition law is not enforc
ell, or will not be when amended rath-
Si tilCi idll III Will Tue w IllShCJ putty
and help boost the evil? All license
laws have heretofore been violated and
not enforced. Statistics prove that
fewer violators of liquor license laws
have been punished than attractions
of the prohibition law. And this be
ing true compDunding with the evil
and sharing in it's plumber, does not
look like b ing Favorable to the best
interests of society and the develop
ment of society and morality"
We have been pelting the law unme,a
cefully, suppose we should face about
and wollup the courts and juries for a
while, for not enforcing it. Sup
pose we should hold them up to
public condemnation for the loose
manner in which justice 80 called"
is done under this law.
The sole end and purpose for licen-
sing whiskey selling is to make people
drunk. We have never heard of any
other object. Is this the way to ode
velop sobriety and morality"

Holstein cow, "ConstanceS. is report
ed on the 2lst inst, of rupture of

She produced 83 pounds of milk in
one day which measured would make
ten gallons and three quarts, or 5
pecks and nearly a half. This is
claimed to be the largest yield on
record, of milk from one cow in one
day. 1t is not surprising that such
forcing killed the noble animal.
