What Is Charity /?

The people generally have very poor cor
ception OF the true meaning OF the word char
ity, and seem to think that the giving OF ones
substance to the poor Is the sum Of all the hu
man excellencies and the crowning glory o.
all the Christian virtues.
That higher and better charity of mind and
thought and speech is too often overlooked in
the desire 10 dispense dimes or dollars TO In
dolent or, 1t may be, purely trihing persons
1t is not charity TO give food and rain ent to
people who are IN health and able to work.
The giving OF money TO such persons Is an alb
solute injury to the private morals Of the peo-
pie, and the public virtue OF the country is
lowered by the indiscriminate giving Of aims
II a man has lost his horse 1t Is not charity
to give him another. 1t Is endowing him
with an estate.
Ifa man is sick, and needs help, It is chari-
ty TO send him plate Of soup, but If he Is In
health and able to work, It is a sin to send
him provisions merely becau 70 he has been
too lazy to work. It Is q premium on idle
ness II lazlness is to share the product OF In
dustrious toll.

Effort to Shift Responsibility.

The editor wishes 1t distinctly understood
however, that he is no wise responsible fo
the views, opinions or suggestions contained
therein, and only for such as appear In the ed
ttorial columns Of this psper.-Camder
Chronicle
We have frequently seen similar para
graphs in our exchanges. Why the dlsavow
al? Has anybody ever charged an editol
with responsibility for another's utterances
But whether or not an editor is responsible,
for the utterances Of others, he is certainly re
sponsible for the publication Of whatever goes
into his paper. No amount Of protesting will
avoid that responsibility. II the editor ISM
responsible for what goes into his paper, We
would like to know who runs the concern
The editor of the Press and Banner, and he
alone, is responsible for whatever appears In
these columns. We would allow no one else
to take charge Of the paper as long as we pay
the expense.

the king made treaty with the

Kamehamha Nv. married Miss Emma
Rocker, of England, and children were

cially with England -our mother and

War benfits some folks, but 1t is o pub

A Fierce War.

The Southern Christian Advocate and the
Register are now having a fierce war OF
words.
The Advocate seems 10 exhibit malice and
a desire to injure Mr.. Calvo.-the owner Of the
Register-in good name and estate.
The Register claims that the course Of the
editor, Mr.. Kirkland. has injured the SUBJ
scription list Of the Advocate.
We have no sympathy with any man who
attempts to injure another's good name, and
we cannot endorse any act which has for It's
purpose the injury OF the business or imam
cial standing OF any one.
The files OF the Press and Banner will fail TO
prove that this editor ever gave kick 10 the
under-dog in the fight.
II is probable that MIR. Kirkland's eff
forts 10 bring the Methodist church to his aid
in gratifying his personal spleen against Mr.
Calvo will fail of Its purpose.
The editor of the Register was indiscreet
enough 10 make some criticisms OF the Meth
odist church Of a general nature, and 1t seems
that this occasion furnished the preteXt for
the editor of the Advocate TO vent personal
feeling against man for whom he had dis
like.

Christian religion will not bring the best re.
suits in the way Of large subscription list
no matter how beautifully the paper may be
printed.
AS the Advocate has attacked the Register.
30 the Register has attacked Sheriff Nance,
and calls down the severest maledictions on
his head, and would, If he could. cali an In
dignation meeting to pass resolutions In ref.
erence thereto.
It Is not unreasonable 10 believe that this
proceeding Is not aimed 90 much at Sheriff
Nance as at the Sheriffs in Charleston who
have not recanted. This warfare is doubtless
made on Sheriff Nance with the view OF
keeping the others in line.
OF course Sheriff Nance's political associ-
ates may "indIgnate" as much as they please
and they may resolve that he ought, In the
interests OF some other politician. resign, but
II he has any grit In his craw he will hold the
fort-snd the Sheriff's Office. too.
When the announcement was made that
Sheriff Nance, OF Abbeville, had been re-
leased We understood the Register to endorse
his course. II we are not mistaken, he said
Sheriff Nance was ''exonerated." But the
Register changed the tone Of It's utterances
the next day. Why?
Sheriff Nance has many friends in Abbe-
Vile county, and 1t will be useless for any one
to fix his hopes on getting him out OF office
in order that any other politician may get his
place.
