Death has up to this time been one Of
the most important factors in the legisla-
ton of this session Of Congress. 1t has
upon several occasions, in both House
and Senate, upset carefully prepared leg-
islative programmes, by causing the loss
Of day through adjournment, and in
Congress day lost carries with it every
thing appointed for that day. There has
been since Congress met an average loss
of two days week by reason Of adjourn
ment as mark of respect to the memory
of dead men, and the question is being
asked, more or less anxiously, "where
will this thing stop?" So far as respect
to the dead goes these adjournments are
like the clio ling of the government de-
partments up, 'imilar occasions-farceB,
which enable So nment employees to
spend day in search of pleasure, at I'm
Gle Sans expense. It would be more
respectful for government employees,
from congressman to laborers, to remain
at work than to make pic mic on the fu-
neral days of prominent men, as they now
do, as rule. The line will have to be
drawn somewhere, and many Congress-
nen favor law combining the adjourning
Of Congress and closing the departments
in honor of dead men to deaths OF men in
office

No Difference Between q Dispensary
and Bar Room.

Mr.. R. s. Galloway, news editor of the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian, pub
lished at Due West, Abbeville County,
recently sent circular letter to a number
of persons, asking the following ques-
tions:
(a) Can q Christian man consistently
apply for the position of dispenser under
the Evans bill?
(b) Ifa Church member should apply
and get the position will be be subject to
discipline?
(c) Should Christian man sign the
application of one who he thinks would
make suitable dispenser?
The first instalment of answers was
published in the Presbyterian on We'd
nesday of last week. The Presbyterian
is the Church paper Of the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian, or "Seceder"
Church, and has large circulation in the
Southern States. 1t is disposed to ac-
cept the Evans liquor law as the best
possible substitute for prohibition at
present, and in commenting upon the
responses which it has received to its
inquiries says:
"rhis whole question of the sale of
liquor in this State is now practically in
the hands of the Prohibitionists. Let
them refuse to sign petitions for dis
pensary, and there will bo none in many
places. We trust the 'freeholders' OF
Abbeville vii; avail themselves of the
opportunity to get rid of the demoralizing
business"
Most, if not all, the letters to the Pres
6yteria1a were written by members of the
Seceder Church and will doubtless be
read with interest, Us follows:
TROY, s. c., January "a, 1898.
Dear Brother: A Christian man has no
more right to sell whiskey by the pint,
quart or five gallon than he has to sell by
the drink. The only difference between
private barkeeper and the State dispen-
ser is the private barkeeper's right to sell
is unlimited as to quantity, while the
dispensers right to sell is regulated by
the State law. Both are legalized bar,
keepers, and both stand on the same plat
form. A Christian cannot afford to sell
whiskey under any consideration.
ID. Ifa Church member should get the
position he would be subject to discip-
line, and should be dealt with.
Sd. cannot see how Christian man
can consistently sign an application to
sell whiskey. Respectfully,
J. +. WIDEMAN.

think any Christian man, if moved
by the proper motives, can not only take
such position as dispenser, but under
certain circumstances it would be his
patriotic and Christian duty to accept.
Christians, as rule, are getting hyper
hide-bound on this subject of temperance
when once they take up prohibition.
They strain at the gnats as to this and in
other matters equally important gulp
down whole caravans of camels. Thous-
ands of Christian druggists are dispensing
liquors all over the world. If these insti-
tutions are to be what they are intended
good men must take hold of them. In
communities where bar rooms have
existed we will have dispensaries or
blind tigers. The last is all of hell except
the smell of sulphur. The licensed bar
furnishes an equivalent in smell and is
worse than the tiger because Of its gaudy
dress.
The dispensary, properly managed,
will prevent the next generation from
fruiting into crop of drunkards, of
whom in the present We have enough 10

The Faith Cure.

A remarkable story is told of the mira
culous faith cure of Mrs. Ann Eliza Tut,
of this city the wife of Mr. William H..
Tut, a we'll known printer, who lives at
2Gl North Marion street. Tho lady is
forty-one years of age and has one child.
In October. 1878, she became paralyzed.
Since then she has been given up by all
physicians as a hopeless invalid. She
says she put her faith in God and believ-
ed that lie would restore her for some
wise purpose. She says she has read her
Bible all these long years and prayed to
God to cure her, having implicit faith in
His intention to do so.
Mrs, Tut tells the story of her cure as
follows:
"Nlonday night before last had a
dream. I thought that was walking.
The next morning ] spoke to Patsy, the
nurse, about it, and told her not to be
frightened if the Good Master should
suddenly give me the use of my limbs.
"That afternoon lay down and again
dreamed that was walking. Tuesday
morning I wa5 sitting before the fire in
my roller chair meditating, and I thought
1 heard the Good Shepherd saying to me:
Arise, take your chair and walk.
"There was chair close by me-the
same one you are sitting inland 1 got
up, caught hold Of it and began to walk,
something I had not done for eighteen
years, and something that the doctors
told me never would do again on earth.
BY pushing the chair in front of me and
steadying myself managed to walk i.!-o
the next room. Patsy was in there.
notwithstanding my warniog to her she
was almost frightened out of her wits.
1 told her not to be afraid that the Good
One had commenced to work on me.
''Since then I have suffered no pain,
not even in my back. I walked about
the house little each day, and have
been getting stronger and stronger. -
