No. The Republicans you allude
to have no fears Of that sort. All
they are afraid of is that the Demo-

SilarinG the Dlsg race.

1t was not good for man, even in
innocence, to be alone; and since he
has fallen, amid the wreck of his for
tunes and his hopes, she who was
| first in the transgression has ample
reason for standing steadfast by his
side.
A little incident Uuay illustrate our
thought: A young man had for some
reason learned to prefer q billiard sa-
loon to his home. His wife lamented
his absence, and watched and waited
long for his return. One evening
while pursuing his habitual amuse-
ment in his customary haunt, the
door opened and his neatly-dressed
wife entered. leading their little
child. He looked up astonished at the
appartion.
'"Why, Mary are you here?"
"Ycs, husband, got tired of staying
alone, and thought that as you were
here / would come too. How pleasant
it is, and so bright and CHEEKY, and
such agreeable companions"
Somehow the young man did not
seem to enjoy his amusement as he
usually did. He eXpostulated with
the little lady, but she chatted gaily,
and told how much she enjoyed being
with him.
"rhis is dSgraccful," said he.
~ know it," said his wife, "but
you have borne the disgrace so long
alone that now am willing to share
il with you"
She was thoroughly mistress of the
situation, and he speedily came to
know that though the man was the
head of the family the woman was
The neck which turned the head
around and hu made up his mind
that it was time for the head OF that
family TO turn around, and so taking
his wife and child he started for home
and when he got home he stayed there.
We doubt not Inc found that Il home
presided over by such wife had
charms such rs no billiard saloon could
offer.
If the places where so many men
spcnd the time which should he de-
voted To their families are good places,
then let the wife take her chi ldren and
70 there too if they are bad places,
let the husband leave them and turn
his footsteps toward his home. If
pleasure is to be gained there, let the
family share il if it is only u dis
grace, then let husband and wife bear
1t toyct her. y place OF amusement
unfit for women and children is unfit
for men also. Where women has no
right to 20, man has no business to
stay; and the sooner he recognizes
the fact, the hetterfo himself and all
concerned. 1t is not good for man to
he alone, and he who excludes his
wife from his presence, especially
when seeking for pleasure, generally
goes farther for company and fares
worse.
God has not made two codes Of NOR
ais, one for man and the other for wo-
man. He has not made drinking or
or gambling or tobacco-using
safe and right for man, but not for wo-
man. The Ten Commandments are
on men and women alike,
and the approval of God and the joys
Of heaven may be equally shared by
both.

Notice of winthrop Examinations.

We did not see Mr.. Mayfeld's letter in the
State to which the Charleston World refers,
The name Of the Press and Banner may have
been included with those "who should have
published" his advertisement.
The simple reason why the advertisement
did not appear in these columns is this /: We
received the order from an advertising agen-
cy Offering sum much below our regular
charges, and from even the small price offer
ed the agent expected to reserve twenty-five
per cent. commissions. We threw that order
in the waste basket.
1t will now be in order for Mr.. Mayficld to
call on the agent to refund any amount which
he received for publishing. he-advertsement
in the Press and Banner.
We take it for granted that he cares very
little about the failure to give the necessary
notice, and in that case he has nothing TO
receive back.
It Is very poor excuse for an officers fall
ure to perform a simple duty to say that he
paid an agent to do the work, which agent
may have proposed to do the work for less
than a legitimate and fair price, and then
failed entirely to comply with his contract.
Colleges that expect hereafter to beat this
newspaper by sending their advertisements
to agencies will find that they have made a
miscalculation.

Returning to Plague Us.

In 1856 South Carolina sent many young
men to Kansas, as Squatter SoverelSns, to
influence the constitutional vote rs to wheti-
er that territory should enter the Union as a
slaveholding or as free State. The result
was that the territory was received into the
Union as Republican State, and her politi-
clans became Abolitianists of the most pro-
nounced type.
In 1891 Kansas returns to us Lecturer"
whose business 1t is to impress upon us the
political ideas to which he and the people of
Kansas hold.
The question now is, will the Lecturer
from Kansas be more successful in South
Carolina in 1891, than were the young men OF
South Carolina in Kansas in lS56?
If he is, then haven't we caught a Tartar?

A Delightful Medicine.

KING Solomon left among his wise
sayings, a good prescription for sick
and sad hearts, and it is one that we
can all safely take. IA merry heart
doeth good like medicine" Joy is
the great restorer and healer. Glad
ness of spirit will bring health to the
bones and vitality to the nerves when
all other tonics fail. and all other Sc
datives cease to quiet. Sick one be-
gin to rel dice in the Lord, and your
bones will flourish like an herb, and
your cheek will glow with the bloom
of health and freshness. Worry,
fear, di,trust, care, are all poison
drops Joy is balm and healing and
you will but rejoice. God will give
power. He has commanded you to be
glad and rejoce and He never fails to
sustain His children in keeping His
commandments. Rejoice in the Lord
always. He says; which means no
matter how sad, how tempted, how
sick, how suffering, you are rejoice
in she Lord just where you are, and
and begin this moment. land again
I say rejoice" He adds, rs perhaps
you found the first dose Intellectual.
Keep on with your medicine, and
when you cannot fee any joy, when
there is no spling, and no seeming
comfort and encouragement, still re-
joice, and count it all joy. Even
wien you fall into divers temptations,
reckon it joy, and delight, and God
will make your reckoning good. Do
you suppose your Father will let you
carry the banner Of His victory aud
His glahnCsS into the front Of the
battle, and then coolly Stand back and
see you captured or beaten back by
the enemy Never! The Holy Spirit
will sustain you in your bold advance,
and fill your heart with glahness and
praise, and you will find your beauty
all cXhilaratcd and refreshed by the
fullne$s of the heart within.

We are in receipt of q postal card from a

on notice to keep an account Of our weekly
issues of this newspaper, and report the
same to them, intimating that If we refuse to

know what we have, and we have our price

So the directories are welcome TO put our

Prohibition Victory.

The prohibitionists were successful In Ath-
ems last Thursday, by a majority OF fourteen.
1t is stated that three fourths Of the white
people voted for prohibition, and that three
fourths of the negroes voted for bars. 1t is
also stated that the ladies and the preachers
worked for prohibition.
With all these facts admitted, some Of the
newspaper writers would sneer at the acts or
methods of the prohibitionsts.
When the preachers, the ladies and three
fourths OF the white people of Athens do not
act as we'll as the liquor advocates and three
fourths of the negroes, a lamentable state OF
affairs must exist
