Whiskey Inspiration.

Under an inspiration, presumably from the
friends Of the license system, some people
have gone crazy on the subject Of selling Ii,
quor at coat.
Speaking for the Press aud Banner we do
not want to encourage liquor drinking, and
hope to zee the price fixed almost high enough
TO secure prohibition.
Heretofore the pious and "unco guide" Chris
tian's Of the towns have shared in the liquor
profits, and now when the whiskey business
is to be curtailed and the profits to be divided
with the country people, some extra good
Christians may be glad Of the chance to pro-
claim hypocrcritical sanctimoniousness by
holding up their hands in alleged toly horror
at continuing to do now, what they have been
doing all the time-sharing in the profits OF
the whiskey business.

Dissolylng Views.

The June number Of the Blue and the Gray
contains very interesting account Of the
"Last Meeting of the Confederate Cabinet
by Walter l.. Miller, Esq, member Of the
Abbeville Bar. The article includes nice pict
ures OF the "Burt Mansion" Of "Secession
Hill," and Of the author Of the article. which
recites readable incidents OF the old story that
will e-er be new and interesting TO the peo-
pie Of Abbeville.
Abbeville furnished the birthplace and
the. grave Of the most bloody conflict that
ever shook q continent, or deluged a country
in blood. It is but natural that the recital Of
any event or circumstance connected there
With should be sought after by the peaceful
generations that are TO succeed the actors In
the bloody drama.

Georgia Governors.

While we know absolutely nothing at all OF
the merits or ;demerits Of Atkinson and
Evans, candidates for Governor Of Georgia,
and know not to which variety Of Demo
Gratis they belong, yet the fact is, we have
seen no Georgia paper. that has not been
strong for Evans and bitter against Atkinson.
These partlzan brethren Of the press make
the election news Of special interest," and be-
cause Of their treatment Of the two candi-
dates. we are pleased 10 see that Atkinson
keeps ahead as the election progresses. There
is someting in the human heart that loves
fair play, when II is not blinded by prejudice.

Turned Him Out.

Because OF his official conduct In releasing
the famous Chicco, Of Charleston, who was
indicted for perjury, in getting his license
money returned, the Governor has removed
Trial Justice Milan from office. Judging by
what we have seen Of the case, we have no
doubt that Chicco should have been bound
over to Court. and that his release was be-
cause of politics.
While we think the Governor acted right in
removing Milan, yet IL he had appointed a
less Objectionable successor. the howlers
might have had less pretext for bursting wide
open. and throwing mud.

The LtauOr Business.

His Honor Judge Ernest Gary, who Is
holding Court at this place, in his charge TO
the Grand Jury last Monday morning look
ed,after alleged violations Of the LIQUOR law,
in this town, as will be seen by his remarks
to the jury. He said on this subject:
MIR. Foreman and Gentleman of the Grand
Jury: Before returning to your room to con-
slider the matter already before you to-day, l
deem It my duty to call your attention to
tention Of the Court officially;
Through communication just handed me,
It is stated that there ere three open bar.
rooms in the town Of Abbeville, actively en-
Mf: Foreman and Gentlemen. 1t is an open
and aagrant violation Of the law ofthe State.
The Supreme Court OF South Carolina has
ity in this State to license the sale &c Of liquor.
As long as that opinion Of the Supreme
Court stands, It is the law OF the land and
should be respected by every citizen OF the
State.
Ifyou permit the law to be ignored in one
particular, you viii find difficulty in its en-
forcement In another.
You owe II to yourselves. and to all law
thar the law is rigidIy enforced; for it is the
experience Of all civilized countries, that the
surest way TO prevent crime is TO attend
strictly to the enforcement Of the laws.
With what grace can you present those who
are now being tried for violation OF law IN
one particular, and tamely ignore the fact
that right here under the shadow of this very
temple Of justice the law Is being broken
every hour In the day?
Your oath requires OF you as Grand Jsrors
TO present truly all such matters as shall be
given you In charge. And trust 1t IL moi
of your obligation which enjoins upon you
ITO present no one for any hatred, or malice;
nor shall you leave any one unpresented for
fear, favor, affection, reward or hope OF re-
ward"
/ trust In conclusion. gentlemen, that as
public officials, you will give this matter
thorough Investigation.
We sought members Of the grand jury yes
terday afternoon, and from them We learn
that they will call the attention of the Court
to the matter. without presenting the name
Of any one for indictment. They have no
witnesses 10 prove the violation, and can on
ly refer to current rumor. After they have
made their presentment, 1t will then be left
with the Solicitor TO take such action, If any,
AZ he may think proper.
As n matter of course his Honor had moth
ing else to do than to call attention to the al
legged violation Of the law, and we presume
that he and the grand jury are performing
their duty perfunctorily, with no serious In
tention OF bothering anybody.
As q matter of fact, unless the grand jury is
held longer than usual, 1t Ia now too late TO
do anything at this term Of the Court, and 1t
depends upon future developments whether
anything at all will be done. Before any.
thing can be done the prohibitionists or the
license advocates must prefer charges and
make out cases against somebody.
The Legislature will likely fe.enact con.
stitutional dispensary law, and those who
cell whiskey during this chaotic condition
Of the law, will likely be excused.

Not at Cost.

We want no dispensary liquor at cost. The
object OF the temperance people in favoring
the dispensary law is to discourage the drink
habit. AS the dispensaries have been con-
Quoted the liquor was too cheap. Free liquor
would be ruinous. We don't want that.
