lNnhin, NAY 70, 1902.


The Platform OF the State Prohibition
Convention, which met I'm Co.
lUmhin, NAV 2O, 1892.
We, the Prohibitionists of South Caro-.
lima in convention assembled, bow before
Almighty God and acknowledge Him as
tho guide and rule in all true government.
!. We are unalteraably opposed to the
liquor traAlc-a traffic by which at least
SIS, 600, 600 are annually taken from our
already Impoverished people to be suuan-
dercd by the liquor dealer and gambler;
by which our courts arc kept occupied
with criminal business. our iails filled with
prisoners, our pcnitcnary with convicts,
, oir poor houses, and our asylums with lu.
nati1s; by which many of our boys, after
being educated, arc untitled for business
and utterly ruined, and many of our girls
degraded into servants of drunken hus-
bands, while the parents suffer with untold
misery; "nd by which our civilization is
generalization and the very Church of
God bindered in its work-in brief, a trnf-
nc against the intellectual, social, mat crial,
iinancial, moral, educational and religious
interests OF the people. We therefore
VIC earnestly favor and will work for the
enactment OF such laws rs will prohibit
thc manufacture and sale Of Intoxicating
lqI'ora for use rs beverage in our Stat G..
.. we cordially invite The cooperation
or alf democrats in this laudahlc effort for
nt"tc proh'bfti0n, irrespective of the opin-
ION on osher issues as already made up In
the State.

War is not only an unnecessary
scourge, but is more injurious than all
Others, for it never comes alone; sickness,
ruin and famine always follow in its path.
A great amount of money is necessary
in order to kill in proper manner, for
each man slain costs about $1,000. The
increasing aud multiplying taxes OF all
nations are never sufficient to pay for the
butchery of human troops. Every year
Europe spends more than billion, two
hundred million dollars 10 shedding her
children's blood; aud France spends
S4OO, 900 every day. The war in Amerl-
ca did not cost less than sixteen billion
dollars. From the Crimeau war down
to that Of 1901, the civilized nations
of Europe and America spent in destroy
ing one another $40, 600, 900, 900 of the
ordinary budget and more than eleven
billion dollars raised expressly for the
purpose, markings total OF S2l. O0O, OUO,-
900. The wars of the last hundred
years have cost $40, 900, 900, 600, with
out counting the sorrow, the loss OF men,
and other results.-Camille FlammarloD,

LATE TURKEYS.

'In the last fifteen years, writes Jen-
ME Watson, of Illinois, 81 have owned
several turkey hens that have, while
taking care of the first early brood. laid
eggs, aud then Matched a second brood
toward the latter part of summer. l
think vigorous hens will often do so If
allowed to sit early. 1t makes the young
turkeys rather late, but with good quar-
tiers and good care, they eau be sold in
February, as they will then be five or
six months old, aud, taking into account
the higher prices to be obtained at that
season, will generally bring more than
than early ones marketed before the
Christmas holidays. II from lack of
proper care they arc not salable IN Feb
Iuary, they can be kept over. and make
plump, heavy birds for the early winter
market. Some of the heaviest aud most
salable turkeys that l have ever sent to
market have been such very late broods,
wintered over without extra care. Such
hens will always be in demand by every
buyer who wants Thanksgiving or a
Christmas roast, you may be sure; and
the cobblers will not be overlooked. -

Why She Refused the Medal.

Only one person has ever refused to
accept from the United States Govern
ment q medal for heroism in saving life.
The Department of the Treasury awards
such valuable tokens of National appre-l
citation for services rendered, acting
under the law made by Congress direct
ing the bestowaI of them upon deserving
individuals, IN gold or silver, according
to the degree of bravery exhibited IN the
performance. 1t is not necessary that
the recipient shall succeed in rescuing
anybody, but merely that the attempt
shall display the requisite quality of
daring and earnest effort. According to
the legal enactment covering such cases
trophy of gold can only be given when
the savior has risked his or her own life.
That was the reason why only a silver
medal was granted to Miss Edith Nor
gan, of HamlIn, Mich, who helped to
rescue eighteen persons from the wreck
of the City of Toledo in 1878, in blind
ing snow storm, when the doomed ship
was transformed into an iceberg by the
waves breaking over her. 1t being i'm
possible to launch boat, a shot bearing
a line was cast by gun over the vessel,
and all the people were fetched ashore
safely in the breeches buoy. Though
she toiled in company with the men on
the beach for six hours to effect the
rescue, the noble Edith did not actually
risk her life, and so she got only Il silver
medal with the thanks of Uncle Sam.
This she declined, saying that if what
she had done was not worth gold
medal she did not care for any.
The gold medal awarded for lifc.sav-
ing is worth about forty dollars for the
metal merely that is in il; When such a
trophy, whether of gold or silver, is sent
to anybody it is accompanied by letter
bearing the signature Of the Secretary OF
the Treasury in his own writing. This
letter recites in detail the circumstances
OF the act of heroism performed by the
recipient, Just as if it were story with
which the latter was unacquainted, clos
ing with few complementary phrases.
There is purpose in this. A medal has
only an indefinite significance, but the
letter recalls the deed itself and is usually
more highly valued than the token. 1t
can be framed aud hung upon the wall,
where it can be seen and will afford its
own explanation, without obliging the
owner to describe what he or she has
done at the expense of that modesty
which proyerbialy characterizes heroes
and heroines. Tho application for a
medal must be supported by the sworn
evidence of individuals who have wit.
messed the acts of bravery periormed.-

The Late Duke of Clarence.

OF all the things related about the
Duke of Clarence in the newspapers,
what most pleased us was this: When
he was with his regiment at York,
the authorities of the Minister wished
to have seat placed for him apart
from the other people; but the Prince
would not hear of this, and preferred
TO take his chances of 4 seat with
ordinary worshipers whenever he at
tended Divine service. This was tho
proper feeling and seemed to show
that he understood that in Gods sight
all arc elual-that in comparison
with the infinitely Great Being the
most exalted person on earth is in.
nnitely little; only poor worm, only
n miserable sinner. 1t is admitted
that the Prince was not man OF
marked intellectual ability, but he
had what is better-a pure and amia'
BILE character. In the midst Of great
temptations he seemed to have lived
a pure life, and he had enough char
acter to make him firm in his resOlu
ton OF marrying his first and only
love, or no one else. 1t is said by
those who knew him that he was very
dinldent in himself, but very conscl,
entious about any public duty he I'm.
dcrtook. Indeed. he seems to have
feared the responsibilities of his pO
sition more than he valued its priyil
eyes, for be told a young man whom
he knew at Cambridge that he would
be glad "to chuck the whole thing for
five thousand a year. "-Exchange.
