St Luke's New Minihter.

Sunday last was Quinquagesima Sun
day and to-day (the 7th) is Ash Wed
nesday, the first day of Lent, which
has been observed for many centuries.
So called because in Eastern countries
ashes symbolized mourning and hu-
initiation. The Episcopal Church has
omitted the ashes, though it retains the
name and, also it is to be hoped, the
mourning for our sins and the accom-
panying humiliation.
Rev. Henry T. Gregory, of Columbia,
who has taken charge of this parish,
held services at St. Luke's last Sunday
morning and afternoon, and will Off
ciate again this morning at II O'Clock
and at 4:30 in the afternoon. All are
cordially invited.
Mr.. Gregory's sermon Sunday morn
ing, taken from our Lords questioning
reply to the importunate cry Of the
blind man (St. Luke, Is: Az "What
wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?"
was very thoughtful aud suggestive.
The Master, in his mission of mercy,
had done many wonderful things. He
had opened the eyes of the blind to the
beauties of nature; unstopped the ears
of the deaf to its harmonies, aDd un-
sealed the lips of the dumb that they
might give expression to emotions of
Joy and gratitude. The sick were like.
wise healed, and, blessed privilege, the
poor had the Gospel preached unto
them. New and happy experiences in
a suffering world of sin!
AS the passionate Saviour passes
by He is appealed to by the man Of
sightless eyes. The disciples rebuke
him, but Jesus, 80 gentle and so full of
clemency, indirectly reproves his disci-
piles and teaches them a lesson Of for
giveness, patience and love. He knew
all about the sufferers infirmity and
pressing need of help, and could have
healed him without a word, but our
Lord tests his faith. He is asked
"Wbat wilt thou that I shall do unto
theen' "And he said Lord, that I may
receive my sight" His faith healed
him.
This question, said the minister. is
personal in it's nature and applies to
the individual; it has an ulterior bear
ing upon Christ's Churc', for all time.
What wilt thou that l shall do unto
thee? What special blessing is needed?
To answer, in every particular, while
doubtless true, will not do. What over
mastering need have we for help?
What special weakness requires to be
strengthened? What hindering infiu-
ence to be overcome?
The speaker urged, at this peniten-
tial season, spirit Of contrition, peni-
tence, confession and deep heart-search-
ing that we he sure the foundation of
our Christian life rests upon the perfect
plan. That we may receive our sight,
for spiritual things must be spiritually
discerned.

The Herald,and News would like to
know how the Abbeville Medium and
Laurens Herald know so well that the
witnesses who testified in the case of
Elliott for slapping Mrs. Nolte were all
lying and peuuring themselves. They
evidently want the trial justice to be
":rucklisg and weak kpeed.' If they
have the evidence that all these wit
nesses swore falsely, as one would
judge they have from their utterances,
why not indict them for perjury? And
then produce the proof. We believe in
enforcing the dispensary Law, but we
do not believe in assaulting women,
even of foreign birth, in order to do it.
And then there il no evidence that Mr..
Nolte was violating the Law. No con-
traband goods were found. This assault
of Elliott and his trial is thing apart
from the dispensary law unless it be q
part of the duty Of the constables to
assault the women of the house when
they 90 in search of contraband liqu or L.
We do not believe that the people ap-
prove such methods.

dldate for Governor, Dr.. Pope, has

sition Congress passes the Wilson bill

reform for the past century and now
when victory is in sight, it will not do

We beg 10 remind our prohibition
neighbor at Prosperity that another
prohibition town-and prohibition in
it's act Of incorporation-has been
granted the privilege of selling liquor.
Is that step towards prohibition?
Now, according to the reasoning Of our
prohibition dispensary friends, if Dis
pensaries are established at Prosperity,
Pomaria, Chappels and Whitmires
and two or three other places in the
county, Newberry will have made a
long stride towards Prohibition. In fact,
we might say, she had the thing al
ready.

DEATH OF A NOTABLE MAN.

George w. Childs, editor of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, died at
his home in Philadelphia at 8 o'clock
last Saturday morning, in the SD year
of his age. Journalism has lost mag
nificent ornament 10 the departure OF
Mr.. Childs.
OF the many men who have grown
from. comparative poverty, privasion
and toll, into lives of opulence or
princely fortune, none have ennobled
manhood in greater measure than the
deceased Christian editor and philan-
thropist.
Without estentation, egotism or dis
play, he moved modestly among men,
full of energy and sweet charity. Sym
pathy, sincerity and thoughtful con-
siderateness were the cardinal traits of
his character. His life-work was
builded upon the great principle Of
seruice to huaaonIy. With him
And gentle deeds than Norman blood"
The vestal of bis life burned with un-
deviatipg ray and shed radiant light
upon his pathway.
The name of woman, often "more
sinned against than SHINING" was
never, under any circumstance, allowed
to be mentioned unkindly or rudely in
his paper.
He was ever tenderly solicitous Of
the welfare Of all in his employ and bis
favors were ample. and timely. she
gave, as the morning that flows out of
heaven" fortune every year in priv
ate and in public charities.
What the great preacher, Bishop
Phillips Brooks, was among the clergy,
George w. Childs was to the laity OF
the church, consecrated character.
He was member of st. James Epis-
copal church, Philadelphia.
Ee~ educated and assisted several
hundred young ladies' living monu-
ment to his mercy and magnanimity!
Such men are citizens Of the world;
they rise above party and sectary; and
we Of the Southland would place a pure
Write flower upon his grave.
As in life, so in death, he has "drawn
the drspery of his couch about him to
lie down in pleasant dreams" The
mystery of his removal in the midst of
80 much usefulness we may not know,
yet we do know that he has gone with
his great heart and soul to blest employ
in a realm of resplendent love-light and
intellectual humility forever.
His mortal remains are entombed in
the Drexel mausoleum.

It seems to be very difficult matter
for the Conseryati YES to please the Re-
formers. They seem to be afraid to
let there be general primary and per-
NIT all aspirants to enter the race for
Governor for fear the Conservatives
will hold the balance of power, and
might therefore vote for the best men.
We see no other way to put it. The
Reformers are very anxious for the
Conservatives to put out ticket 80
that they can have some excuse to
thin ont the Reform candidates to a
stand. When We speak Of Reformers it
is understood to mean the leaders, of
course.
IF the white people are again to be
united we must get rid of this f&ctiopal
bitterness and the best way to do it is
to have free for all primary without
conventions and caucuses and let the
people really say who are to be the
standard bearers Of the Democracy.
But for a few leaders to get together In
caucus and put forth ready made tick
cts and claim that the people are de-
manding it will never unite the people,
though some of the people may be
fooled into believing they are ruling
when such methods are in vogue.

A Joint Debate

Was held at Johnstone Academy on
Saturday night, February Sd. by the
Irby and Johnstone Literary Societies.
The subject was, (which has the Most
Influence Over the Human Mind, the
Tears of Woman or the Eloquence of
Man:' There were three speakers on
either side. After the recital of these
we'll prepared speeches the judges rem
dered the decision in favor of the mega

the affirmative side were eight, and
those on the negative were twenty
four. The young men did we'll, and
their efforts show the progress the So

Two shooting scrapes during the past
week from the Dispensary law and its
enforcement. One man dead and three
others wounded. We are getting along
very well.
Mr.. ". 3. Meetze, of Columbia, is
probably fatally wounded. The way
it looks to us be is responsible for the
shooting in Columbia. He has been
sowing the wind and now has reaPed
the whi-lwind. He is the man who
defied the law and the Governor and
all the coDstables during the fair. This
sort of conduct can never end in good
to the man who tries it. Mr.. Meetze
has only himself to blame.
From what we have seen Of the Well
ford killing it does not show up well
for the constables. In the first place
we do not see why they should want
to go to mans house at one o'clock in
the night and On Sunday at that. 1t
is farmer this time who is killed. The
testimony as published is conflicting.
No whiskey was found but one man is
killed and another has his leg shot to
pieces. The constables are but follow
ing the instructions of their boss in
Columbia to shoot. How they could
tell whether man had pistol or had
thrown up his hand in the darkness Of
the night is not explained. Here
notice, too, that they got Moore to go
with them down to the depot tot
looks like-kill him. Why did they go
there at that time of night anyway?
We will not condemn the act. That
will do no good. We will ask, though,
if the people approve this sort Of thing.
Suppose it had been your house. You
may not have contraband whiskey, but
suppose the constables suspect you have
it. Things are in a bad way in South
Carolina. 1t is not for the sake of
prohibition or good morals either, but
to raise revenue to help pay the ex-
penses Of reform.

Is it part of the duty of the State

Isit part of the duty of the State
constables to shoot men who are run
ming from them? Would you consider
a man resisting arrest who was doing
his best to get out of the way? These
are questions that are prompted by the
shooting and killing at Wexford in
Spartanburg last week. Ali the wit
nesses testified that Moore was run
ming when he was shot. And Ballew
who was killed had only come ort to
the help Of his friend. Or rather we
might say had come out in answer to
his friends cries of distress.

And Little Mountain is to have
dispensary. If We are not mistaken,
the sale of wbiskey in the town was
prohibited in the Act of incorporation,
but under this new prohibition law the
State can put the stuff on sale there.
Then to tell US this is a scheme in the
interest of temperance and good morals
and step towards prohibition. 1t is
scEame for revenue. We would like
for some prohibition advocate to tell
US how the establishment Of liquor
shop in towns heretofore without
whiskey il a step towards prohibition.
We cannot see it that way, and would
be glad to be enlightened.

The Register few days ago had a
very able and powerful s1d convinc-
ing editorial on the subject, = ma
jority must decide" 1t tells US that
the Reform movement was revolt
against bossism and dictatorship, and
any Reformer who attempts that role
but no Reformer will attempt it
will be taught lesson. That is a
clincher. "The question whether the
Reformers shall or shall not hold fac
tional convention and whether the
convention should be held early or late,
are matters for majority Of the Re-
formers to decide, and they will be de-
cided by majority of the Reformers.
Thsn again, says the Register: "1f
majority thinks convention Of Re-
formers should be held, it will be held,
aud if a majority thinks the conven-
ton should not be held, 1t will not DO
held" The Register says "it is speak
ing plain and powerful truths, whose
force must at once be recognized" I"
We no not doubt it. These are 'plain
and powerful truths" and we sat once"
recognize their "force." But where Is
the Register? Does it favor an early
convention, or late convention, or no
convention at ell? Or is it with the
majority? But then the question
arises where is the majority? That is
the trouble about being an organ.
The time will come when one does not
know just where he is at, for be can't
always tell where the majority is. But
what is the objection to free for all
primary?

ment agains: the law.
