Naturally the presence OF ladies has a re-

contended that social poker has a re-
formatory effect in that it tends to
keep the men away from the town clubs,
where play for gain is the rule and where in
toxicating drinks are INDUCED in as an acces-
sorry TO the game. This view of the subject
will no doubt shock some who regard the very
presence of cards as dangerous and demoral-

when it is remembered that in social poker

suppression of gambling in the District of

UNANIMOUSLY IN FAVOR OF THE SUB
TREASURY PLAN.

TREASURY PAANs
no the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.
TO give you an idea Of how the Pal
metto state stands on the subtreasury
plan, and how much attention and the
kind Of attention we pay to such partisan
demagogues as Oates, Mills, Butler, TILL
man & Co., send you copy Of q reSO-
hutton unanimously adopted at our last
meeting.
Let Democratic and Republican psrti-
sans howl. The only men who take
stock in such. stuff as "Negro suprem-
acy," "Bloody shirts" and "BlOOdy
chasm, sectional hate and animositieS, 'are
demagogues who have made living by
holding Office, and who have been trying
harder to keep up sectional hatred than
to serve their constituents. God speed
the day when such men as Butler and
Tillman shall find the same political
grave and help to all the same "blOOdy
Chasm" In which we have hurled Wade
Hampton and your KanSan, John ]. In
gals.
We have been fooled for quarter OF
century on such tariff reform as a re-
ductIon of per cent. Of the wool tariff.
We have followed bllndly such dema-
gogues as Tillman, Ingalls, & Co., while
our currency has been reduced from $50
to less than $40 per capita.
Experience has been dear school, but
we have paid enough for 1t TO have the
right to profit by it-and we will. Fl
nancial reform will be our slogan In the
future. South Carolina was one Of the
first colonies to take up arms in behalf Of
American freedom In 1778. And the
sons Of her revolutionary Sires will see
that no blotch shall rest on the escutheon
in 1892. They used the bayonet, we will
use the ballot. We can not do less. In
the words Of Webster, generations past
and to come hold US responsible for the
sacred trust. Yes, and q generation OF
nine million of mortgages and two mil
lion tramps demand it.

lutions were duly considered and unani-
mously adopted:
First-In our opinion the speech Of Sem

was Cowardly evasion of q discussion Of

Second-That the imputation that the 40,-
600 Alliance men Of South Carolina are
get Of thieves and scoundrels, because they
would borrow money at 2 per cent, is an
insult to every honest citizen Of the state,
and that we hurl the insinuation back In
his teeth, promising him that he will re-
ceive our attention again at the next elec-
tion for United States Senatorin South Car
olina.
Third-That the speech of Congressman
George d. Tillman at Parkville on August

No man can be a hero when his

The man who is lonesome and

SHAKING HANDS.

There is an art in shaking hands
Not everybody understands;
And, as they go through life umtaught,
The simple act expresses naught,
The fingers limp within our own
Awaken no responsive tone
From the electric wires that send
The hearty greeting to a friend.
But oh there is Il simple touch,
Gentle and soft, that means so much
The pulses of onr souls are stirred,
As If we heard the spoken word;
The outstretched hand, the hearty grasp,
The fingers locked in loving clasp,
Fresh strength and courage have bestowed
To many a one along lifc's road.
Some lonely Traveller il may be,
Yearning for love and sympathy,
And quick the sign TO comprehend
My heart is true, and I'm your friend"
Thus one repels, another draws,
And many are misiudged because
Not one in twenty understands
The gracious art of shaking hands.

Tribute o! Respect.

On the morning of March Is, 1891,
Mrs. A c Dean, a sweet devoted
Christian, was called from our midst
to her eternal home. Death brings
sorrow and gloom, always; but who
can fathom the depth when the moth
er is taken from her home and the
father and children left behind.
AS members OF the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society, we mingle our tears
and sympathies with the bereaved
family. In her death, we have lost.
An earnest, active member has gone
from us--one who was ever ready to
do the Masters work,
At the close Of one of our meetings
only few weeks ago, while we lis
tened to her voice in earnest prayer
beseeching guidance and strength
for us amid life's duties, how little
did we think we would hear no more.
We can but bow in humble submis-
sion to an All-Wise Father, while we
Res0Ire, That by the death of our
sister we will seek to be drawn closer
to our Heavenly Father, and more
united in Christian love to each 9TH
er and to all of earth's children /;
praying that We may fully realize
life's obligations and responsibilities.
and that a deeper conservation may
fall upon Us all, and upon our work l.,
We tenderly point the bereaved hus-
band and five motherless children to
the sweet promises of happy re-
union in heaven, where parting is
unknown. May her influence, as the
perfume of a sweet flower, ever lin
ger and be felt in her family and in
our Woman's Missionary Society.
