Overriding the Law.

The city councils of Charleston, Lexington,
Barnwell and Spartanburg, we believe, have
determined to license the sale of whiskey, re-
gardless of the dispensary act.
According to our way of thinking more
high-handed effort at overriding the law OF
the State has never been attempted.
If the city councils OF any corporation shall
do, as is threatened, license the bars contrary
to law, we trust that Governor Tillman may
employ a sufficient number of constabies to
enforce the law, or in case they can not do so.
then let the Executive order out the militia.
When any set Of malcontents may openly
and defiantly set aside the plain law OF the
land, it is rebellion, and the Governor would
deserve the contempt of the world, II he did
not exert every power at his command to en-
force the law. II force Is met by force, and
the constables and militia are unable to pre-
serve the peace, then let the Governor call for
Federal aid to enforce the law and preserve
the peace in South Carolina.
While this newspaper is anti-Tillman from
conscientious principles, and while we did all
that we thought legitimate and fair to defeat
him, and while the dispensary law is not the
prohlbitory measure that We wanted, yet as
far as in our power lies we intend to sustain
the administration in enforcing the law.
AsGovernor OF the State he will receive our
respect and support as long as his acts deserve
1t, reserving TO ourself the right at all times
to dissent from any official course which we
may think is wrong.
But he would deserve the respect Of nobody,
If he allows anybody to openly set at defiance
one Of the most important laws Of the State
If he fails to see that the revenue from the
whiskey trade goes into the treasury Of the
State, instead Of into the pockets Of persons
who defy his administration, he will have
backed down from the course which he pur.
sued in the case Of the Agricultural Hall.

Christmas.

BY REV. HENRY R. BALDWIN, PENDER, NEB
Rejoice to day with glad accord,
For Christ the Lord, Is come:
Fulfilled the prophetic word,
In Davld's Bethlehem.
For unto us Child IL born:
To us q Son Is given:
To raise our fallen nature up,
And make us heirs OF Heaven,
Behold Him In manger laid:-
\ hopeless little one;
For whom Judea's mothers prayed;
The long expected Son.
No earthly pOmp surrounds His bed,
His home no plllared hall =
They had not where to lay His mead,
Save in the cattle's stall.
The King of HeaveD-the Prince Of Life,
Assumes mortal fame;
He comes to enter into strife,
To weave immortal fame,
His weapons: Truth and Righteousness;
His cause the good OF a
The helpless sons of ADAM s race,
The ruined by the Fall.
Attend, ye Heavens give ear, Earth!
While angels glad, proclaim,
That peace on earth, good VIII TO men,
Are offered in His Name:-
That Name. that through all earth and skies
Shall higly honored be:
In which all human prayer shall rise.
From over land and sea.
Hail, glorious Prince! Hail, blessed Son!
On this Thy natal day
Let love and peace untrammeled run,
Ger all the earth hold sway,
TIL human passion, sin, and wrongs,
Are numbered with the past,
nd earth. with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall praise the First and Last"

They Want 10 Set Aside the Law.

We presume the opponents OF the dispen-
sary law will appeal to the Supreme Court for
q decision setting that law aside.
Appeals to the Supreme Court have some
times been successful in setting aside the
laws or official acts of the administration,
and we fear, because of precedent, that the
Court may sustain those who may resist the
dispensary law.
In case the Court does have good and lawful
reason for interfering with the enforcement OF
the dispensary act, we trust that the Cover
nor may Immediately convene the General
Assembly in extra session, to take such steps
as may be necessary to carry out the will of
the people. The people demand some legisla-
tion on the whiskey question, and If the
Courts choose to annul the present law we
hope for other and further enactments on the
slhject.

The Social Club ."The social clut
of the present day resembles net
spread to- catch the innocent and
unsuspecting youth. At that age
when youLg man should presumably
marry or find his social enjoyment in
the refined and elevating society of the
gentle sex, he heeds the call of the
social club, which is not calculated to
refine or restrain but to invite to
dissipation and sin, The special peril
to young men is that, except on rare
occasions, their sisters, wives and
mothers never enter these clubs.
Their associates are men only, and the
loud jest and profane speech are not
wholly unfamiliar. .'-From Sermon
in Washington, d. c., by Chaplain
David Wilson, U. S. A., as reported IN

ParasOl Ants.

! The Kew Bulletin says that the Gov
ernment of Trinidad has passed an
ordinance for the determination of
parasol ants, so far as it's power ex-
tends. The pest has become unbear-
able. In fact, from the nature of
things, wherever this ant is found, a
growing civilization must wage war
to the death with it. For the creature
strips trees of their leaves, which it
neatly trims to the size and shape of a
three-penny bit and carries to the nest.
An army of aecodoma cephalotes at
work is one of the strangest sights in
tropical America. The column may be
followed for mile, three or four
inches in width, q serried mass of ants
each carrying aloft upright as a flag
its green disk. They will strip large
tree of which they fancy the leaves in
twenty-four hours. But nature has
limited their ravages in the way which
Darwin and Wallace teach us to re-
spect. Many species of trees are quite
protected against them by peculiari-
ties which we cannot detect. Many
inches in width, serried mass of ants
will not attack them if they have O
choice. But the enterprising for
, eigner brings his useful fruits and
plants from every quarter of the world,
and establishes them in the domain of
the aecodoma. Then there is joy un-
, mixed. With unprotected fruit in
abundance the ants multiply as they
never could before. So the Trinidad
authorities have made law that the
warden of any district may authorize
land owner who suffers, or is likely
to suffer-" from their ravages, to enter
any neighbor's ground and destroy the
nests-if he can, be it understood.
And any one obstructing such proceed
ings when duly authorized by the war
den becomes liable to fine of $50 or
Imprisonment for three months, with
or without hard labor.

Sufferers From "Gibberish Aphasia.' -

The Edinburgh Medical Journal
publishes an article which, among
other things, discusses the question of
the effects of brain changes on speech
A patient is mentioned who suffered
from what is called "gibberish
aphasia. This poor man knew as
well as anybody else exactly what was
going on around him. He was per-
fectly sane in all respects, and, if his
tongue would have obeyed his under
standing, all would have been we'll
But when he began to speak nothing
whatever but absolute ''gibberish"
would come out of his mouth. The
only coherent words he could utter,
and those only at times and by acci-
dent, were eff you please, sir. "
Another patient, who also was sane,
could not even read aloud correctly
from book when the page was open
before him. When asked, for example,
to read aloud the passage, 'It shall be
in the power of the college to examine
or not to examine any licentiate," he
invariably read it thus can the be
what in the tomothar of the throtho-
todoo to maiorum." The patient re-
covered in due time and spoke like
other people.

THE OLD MILL

Deep in the shadow, down under the hill,
Stand the mossy planks Of an old saw-mili,
Leaning far over, as II to look
At it's fair companion, the rushing brooks
For there below in the turbulent stream
Lie many a worm-eaten joist and beam.
Neglected, forgotten, left alone,
Through its broken roof the breezes moan,
And birds sing more softly their cheerful
lays,
Remembering other brighter days,
When this tottering ruin was firm and strong,
And the mill wheel roared It's thunderous
song.
But the mill wheel lies in the brooklet's bed,
And the waters rushing song has fed,
so the trees growing near extend leafy arms
To hide from the sight Of the prosperous
farms
And protect from the suns bright, pitiless
ray -.
The poor old mill, so shattered and gray.
Alice R. Leu, in Springfield Republican.
