form any duty upon the order of fed
eral authorities not imposed upon him by
the constitution nor the laws of the state

A Word TO Our Girls.

Girl, whatever else you do, do not marr.
a drunkard.
No matter how deeply in love you may
fancy yourselves to be do not marry man
who drinks intoxicating liquor.
It is better to be an old maid and miss
the desired Mrs. from your tombstone. 1t
is better to go through life single and alone
to keep cat, and to make sprons fo- the
heather children than to be a drunkard's
wife. =
Young men addicted to taking a glass
now and then will doubtless laugh ct you.
if you cell their habit vice, or hint that it
is any wise dangerous. They assure you
in a lordly way that they know what they
are about! They wonder what you take
them for! Haven't they control enough
over themselves to take social glass, now
and then, and stop there? Why, you talk
as though they were common drunkards S!
And SO they are liable TO become. There
is no safety in playing with poison. he
who touches pitch must be defiled. The
first glass makes room for the second. The
appetite for strong drink grows with what
It's fed upon. The man who drinks a
glass of brandy, or whiskey to-day, will
want another tomorrow. II he is not
strong enough to abstain from the first
glass, how is he to put away the second:
Young woman, beware OF him! Shun
him as you would one infected with the
plague!
Oh, young girls, fair and pure and lov-
ing, think Of what lies. before you! Think
of the mora. contamination, the miserable
degradation which hang around the drunk
ard, and forswear the young man who
drinks
Smile no more upon. the deadly sin Of
wine-drinking Scorn it! Never give its
practice your sanction in ever so remote
degree. -;
Oh, that the women would turn their
faces, as one woman, eternally from the
man who drinks!. Oh, that the mothers
would close the doors Of their houses,
against the wine-drinking young man az
against the leper. and let society under
stand that no embryo drunkard will be re-
celved as honored and respected into its
ranks.
Call us radical, or fanatical, if you will
1t matters not we are bound to the belief,
born with US, that no man is safe who takes
the first glass of liquor! For if he takes
the first glass he may want the second, but
if he never takes the first he cannot take
the second!
Again we say to you, young girls, beware!
No matter how handsome, or fascinating,
OF wealthy o man man may be-if he
drinks, turn away from him, and save your
self from becoming the most miserable Of
all women-a drunkards wife.-8ate

Notes from Pamela.

PANo1A, July 16.-A bright day dawned
on the 18th. Pamela put on her regalia
early in the morning, and wore it with hon
or and pride throughout the day. Prepara-
! tions were made by her citizens to give the
Santee base ball team, Of Orangeburg, a
grand reception. The game was looked for
| with much anxiety. We felt that the ar
raneement demanded all of our energies,
not only to meet the occasion as common
occurrence, but as one which would give life
and pleasure to the visitors. a large con-
course of people assembled to witness the
game. The dinner prepared by the Pamela
club exhibited a feast of fat things. How
could it be otherwise, for we all know to
succeed is to enlist Capt. D. ". Brailsford,
for, where he reigns at the table no ques-
ton need be asked for every mouth will be
filed. Our boys were showed under, not
withstanding they took their defeat with
the greatest enthusiasm. Every thing look
ed to enhance the pleasure of the visitors.
Every body was pleased, and time passed
away as merry as marriage bell.
The candidates were outin numbers Is
in all. They stood in the front rank with
the good people The political horizon
looks as if the fog IS clearing away. The
canvass is really opened, while each one is
interested for himself We are always
pleased that they should come among US.
There is nothing like familiarity.
The Junior Panolas played the Paeksyile
club on the 18th. They met the same sad
defeat that the older boys met the day be-
fore. TON.

The Columbia correspondent of the New

sBen Nllman, the agitator, is making pol
itics lively in this State, and the campaign
will probably be more spirited than any in
ten years. B. R. Tillman is g brother Of
Congressman George Hllman, and as the
Congressman raves against the National
Administration, so Ben attacks the State
Government only he is more daring and
makes more rash charges. He heads the
Farmers movement, or Reform party, in
this State, and they Will fight for the Gov
ernor and acknowledgements offices.
Tiliman will stump the State against the
present Administration. He charges. that
negro lunatics are worked in the asylum
like slaves, and that they are never turned
out when cured He also charges that the
Government spent last year q qaarter of q
million in wasteful and extravagant man
ner.. Il is believed that Tllman is work

A Convincing Argument.

Dr.. Vincent says that he never denounces
people for playing at cards, dancing and
theatre-going, because they are not abso-
lutely, but relatively wrong. But he leaves
the adoption of these amusements to the
judgement of the young people in this way:
Il draw picture of Rev. DR.. John Hall,
Bishop Mathew Simpson and D. L. Moody
sitting down together and, shutting cards
for an evening, dancing themselves red
with half-dressed women, or going to the
theatre. They always seem shocked at the
mere mention of such conduct by such
Christians. But ask them if they don't
want as good place in heaven as g bishop
shall have. And then tell them that If
they can approve Of these amusements IN
church leaders, then Of course they may ask
the leaders to approve the same in them;
otherwise. not" It is good putting Of the
issue.

4 Glaring Error.

A newspaper is public educator; and,
as such, the greatest care should be taken
in giving only correct statements Of great
indisputable historical facts, for neither the
intelligence nor, unfortunately, the stupid
ity of ones constituents can be overrated,
and.it would be difficult for an editor to
write anything too preposterous for the
credibility of some readers. So much for
preface to the following remarkable COM
ments of the Hampton County Neaos-H Herald
on the Fourth of July:
This day is the once glorious" Fourth.
On this day, more than one hundred years
ago. this nation, then in its infancy, assem-
bled in Congress and adopted the '.Declar-
alton of Independence. From this Colum-
bias ensign was raised, and the United
States of America took their place proudly
among earth's nations. For more than
four-score years this day was hailed with
pleasure and rejoicing the beat OF drums,
the booming OF cannon, the joyous shout
and loud hurrah throughout the length and
breadth of this great land proclaimed its
dawning and marked it as Nations holi-
day.
This is not true. The nation was never
born until Lees surrender.at Appomatto1
Court House, Virginia, despite oil the rhet-
oric and specious pleading Of the Websters,
Storys and Motleys Of the North, and it is
criminal ignorance in any Southern man
of intelligence to announce the contrary.
Congressman Dibble, in his eloquent ad-
dress before the Citadel cadets on the fourth
of July, gave its true significance as 'the
birthday not Of Federal, but Of states rights
the day when the colonies asserted to the
world the right Of local self-government'
On that glorious day, in ITS, the states
declared their sovereignty and it was vim
dicated by arms in bloody war."-Charles-
ton. World

Didn't Steal O Thing.

While standing at the depot the other
day, awaiting the trains that, by the way,
meet here now under the new schedule, we
espied gentleman Of color on the platform
who seemed to be SHE'D around by all who
passed him. Upon observing him q little
more closely we at once recognized him as be-
ing a member of the ball and chain brigade
from the banks Of the Congaree.
Our accosting him with "Halloo, Trusty,
produced smile that indicated an attempt
to swallow both ears at once, but before the
performance of the feat his lips few back to
their normal place, and the striped stranger
began to relate the pleasures and vicissi-
tudes of camp life. He came up in buggy
to meet one of the managers Of the Eutaw-
vile Rallroad.
Eyes, boss, is trustee. No use fer
watch dis niger fer amt done muffin no
how, and 1 guine home Friday"
Time up? asked the newspaper man.
eyes, sir; but (and twisting something
from behind one of his ears that made him
souint his eyes as he pulled it) Is comm
back in er week"
Why it will take longer than that to try
you.
'.Oh! amt guine teef muffin no mo. I
dun make bargain wild de boss, and he
guine fer hire me fer drive wagin. Yes,
sir; I Irudder stay jis whar I am, fer de boss
treats me good, and gives me plenty fer eat
and satisfied. Besides he guine fer pay
me 50 mont too."
Why are you in the penitentiary?
"Boss, you mean wat dey put me cen dar
fer? Muffin, not a Gods ting boss, muffin. >
What do they say they put you in for?.
'Dey say sell a gentleman some corn,
but q nudder niger dun dat, warnt me"
Where is the other niger?
"He right yonder cen camp, and bof oar

Iwonder where he got that corn?
"Boss, most time fer de train now Ante.
Yes, but the corn?
We'll boss, six niggers swore I gee him

Just then the train rolled up, and cut our
conversation of. The convict is James
Walker, Orangeburg County. Quite a
crowd had assembled around him, and will
agree that in some cases at least Judge Al
drich was right when he said, "The way to
reach nigger's conscience is through his
hide" and this is one of such instances.
