The Dispensary Law.

The Press and Banner ia in receipt ofa copy
OF the Atlanta Evening Journal, In which
marked article appears that ltters grave
charges against decency and respecta-
bility of this community, which Is In d.
rect conflict with the recent statement OF the
grand jury in reference TO the dIspensary
law.
A sufficient answer to the falsity Of his
charge, Is furnished In the words OF the grand
Jury, which sat at the October term of our
court:
1--WE as the Grand Jury Of Abbeville county
take pleasure In certifying to the wholesome
effect OF the DIspensary Law IN this County.
Under this system the a,b 70 ronse
quent. good results: We no longer see tne
brilliant lights Of the open bars, The oppor.
tunity and the temptation 70 tipping pas
a thing OF the pasts 1t is with special pleasure
that we note The fidelity with which the 70
lice OF the town enforce the law: Obeying the
instructions Of the town council they prevent tt
marked improvement OF the peace ana 80.
briety Of the town furnish evident proof OF
the benefits Of the new system OF dealing Wild
liquor. With the opportunity for observation
that the Dispensary solves the question:"
We believe any assertion coming from
whatever source, that there are notorious
"blind tigers" in Abbevile. is utterly and
absolutely false.
The surprising thing to us is, that reputa-
BILE newspaper like the Atlanta Evening
Journal, would allow It's columns TO De used
for vile and wicked purposes In slandering an
unonsnding community OF respectable and
law.abiding citizens.

Would Christ be able to find II
men suitable for apostles in any mod
ern community If so, which ele-
ment would be better represented in
that company-The Salvation army OF
the slums, or kidglove aristocracy oil
the pews?
Young folks are often unwilling 20
die. He knows we don't want to go to
Him, but only to get away from the
world, and we are not fit to 60 to him
till we are quite willing to bide his
time.
We are still haunted by the false old
distinction of the natural virtues and
the Christian graces. The Christian
graces are nothing but the natural
virtues held up into the light OF
Christ.
The true strength of a church is in
the piety of its members. Not their
number, not their wealth, not their
social standing, not even their talents,
but their spirituality. Life alone can
generate life.

The Circus,


Walter L. Mains Circus will be here to-day.
Where the show has given recent exhibitions
the newspapers have spoken very nicely Of 1t.
The street parade will, OF course, be seen by
everybody. Even those who are too pious to
60 within the peecincts of the grand pavilion
will risk at least one eye on the splendid pa
geant as 1t passes up and down the principal
thoroughfares.
In response to the demand Of religious peo.
pie, Objectionable features OF shows Including
the clowns doubtful or vulgar jokes, have
been eliminated from the programs of all the
best shows.
Everybody loves 10 see q good show, and
those of our people who can stand the ex-
pense, will no doubt enjoy the circus to-day
Speaking for the Press and Banner, we like
to see the circus, with its pomp, Its glitter It's
splendor, and its great va riety.
We repeat that the Legislature some years
ago undertook to prevent these exhibitions
by placing high tax on their performances
and we hope that the Legislature In It's Wis
dom may rescind their action, whereby the
people have been deprived Of days pleasure
and sightseeing.
The Southern people have but few days o
general holiday, and 1t seems that one OF thief
most enjoyable lays of the season has been
denied Us because OF the high tax imposed
by the Legislature.
Let US enjoy the jolly old clown and the
entertaing show once year. A laugh now
and then is good. To forget for an hour the
cares which weigh us down, will refresh and
invigorate.
There are, however, good and pions people
who are still laboring under the delusion that
all pleasures, and the circus In particular,
are sinful. There are also good and conscien-
tious men who may believe that 1t Is their
mission on earth to interdict the pleasures
and epjoymenis CT the young.
Wherever life and animation, youth ana
innocent mirth, are found, 1t is their christian
duty to cast a shadow over happy hearts and
To make gloomy the delightful scenes.
AT best, life has enough OF It's cares and sor'
rows; then let the children be happy for
day; let the creditor;for the hour cease to pur-
sue his debtor, and let the debtor for the short
time bid adieu to dull care.
Contribute to the pleasure.of your children,
and, If able to do 80, give them all tickets to
the show. Let them be happy while they
may. The anxieties and burdens Of life will
be on them after awhile, when hundred
dollars would scarcely furnish as much pleas
ure ae they may now get for fifty cents.
