The Militia.

The Abbeville Rifles, under command o.
Capt. j. l.. Perrin will obey orders every
time, no matter ow preposterous the order
may be, 30 it comes from superior officer.
Last week there was some excitement al
Mount Carmel about negro rising. The
kilograms flew over the wires 1T lightning
speed. AS result the Abbeyille Rifles put
their kuapsacks on their backs and marched
away to the wars.
Our special reporter gives the facts as 10 the
origin Of that war, and the surrender 10 the
warriors. While we believe nobody thought
there was any necessity for the move, yet the
soldiers responded promptly, and were gone
about thirty hours.
Our people regret that there has been such
a hullabaloo about what seems to be as near
nothing as possible. Nobody blames the
Governor for issuing the orders TO the mill
tary. Everybody respects the militia for
obedience to orders, but nobody here be.
lleves that there was the slightest necessity
for ordering out the militia at this time.
1t has not been so long sgo that whole
church full OF negroes got into row at Able
Vile on a Sunday. One or two policemen
went and arrested about l5O OF them. When
brought before Mayor Hill he was in d.
lemma. He had $50 prisoners, and his Gala
boose would hold only about half dozen.
He dismissed the whole crowd on their pro-
mise to appear in the Court House on Mon
day morning at ten o'clock. Every mothers
son fthem was there at the appointed time.
We venture to suggest that Sheriff Nance,
with deputies J. r. Kennedy, Cicero Hughes
and Charlie Allen can arrest every negro in
Abbeville County-every one who needs ar
resting.

A Step In the Wrong Direction.

Columbia, S. c., June II, 50.
To Dispensers: The state Board of Control
throughout the State, until otherwise order
ed, TO open for business at half-past nVe
O'Clock in the morning and remain open ull
and closing at seven o'clock in the evening
hours until you are ordered otherwise.
Respectfully, F.M. Mixson, Com'r.
The above order explains itself. To say
that 1t Is an insult to the temperance people
and the decency Of the state is to put it mild
ly.
This newspaper has ever defended the law
concluded TO add cocktails to it's stock OF
goods for medical and mechanical purposes
we felt outraged, but now to open these gin
mills from halfpast five o'clock until seven
in the evening, seems TO be doing exactly
what the enemies of the law have charged
namely: that the state was in the business
TO make money.
The mean way In which the order Is couch.
ed Is not In accord with our notions OF the
actual facts. Who asked TO have the dispen'
saries open SO early and close so late"
The temperance people Of the State will moi
submit to this outrage, without kick. II
the officers of the State have not the decency
TO restore the status, the people must speak
out when they elect members OF the Legisla.
ture. South Carolina Is not going into the
bar-room business, and the people should de.
mand of our Legislators the correction of the
abuse contemp plated In the execution of the
above order.
The temperance people, or prohibitionlsts,
accepted the compromise on the dispensary
which has been open for ten hours daily, but
we believe they will resent the act of the OF.
ficers In lowering their offices, TO the level OF
a poorly managed bar-room.
Decency demands the restoration of the old
rules.

Tillman's Opinion Of the Situation

The recent expressions of Senator Tillmar
look like he had lost confidence in the pos
sibility of union Of the white people in ar
effort to elect non-partizan convention.
The Press and Banner had no great faith IN
the proposition from the first.
1t is unusual for the majority to yield any
thing to the minority, and in this instance Il
seemed that many OF the newspapers though
an even division was hardly enough for the
Ants.
1t was not to be expected that the majority
would voluntarily surrender. Such an actlor
would have been without a precedent.
The factions were too far apart, ana ths
leaders we're so exacting that 1t seemed strangs
that a compromise was ever attempted.
While the efforts of the "Forty" ane
the TIllman. .Hemphin conference will
fail, yet the public should appreciate thef
good intentions.
. In our County there has been perhaps lest
bitterness than in any other county, ana ou'
politicians have done nothing to widen tne
breach.
In the hope, therefore, that peace and qule'
may be restored 10 Abbeville, we hope tha'
the leaders of the two factions may resolve tc
put an end To all this sQuabbling and fussing
The Tillmanites passed a resolution at one
time expressing a willingness 70 give us one
third; or two out Of six delegates.
Senator Tillman's charges against the Con
servative newspapers and the Ants OF the
State do not apply TO Abbeville.
The Ants have done nothing TO widen the
breach, and the Conservative newspapers
have been pracitic from first to last.
If, therefore, the negotiations looking te
peace In Abbeville County should fail, it will
be no fault OF the Ants. They have been salts
fed to accept one-third Of the representation
and the Tillmanites are pledged to give vi
that much.
If they fail to comply with their own prom
ise or give US two representatives In the Con
vention, the failure cannot be justly charge'
to any action Of the Ants or their newspaper
Will the gentlemen Of Abbeville County d.
less than they voluntarily promised? w
have kept the faith with them, and we hop
that they will not recede from their promise
or withdraw the olive branch which had oeel
extended to those who were willing TO receiv
it.
Let Abbeville do the right thing, D.
giving the Ants two, and the Tillmanite
taking four to themselves. Abbeville can a.
ford to do right. The eyes Of the world are
turned this way. Let them see no fault in

The worst part of martyrdom is not
the last agonizirg moment; it is the
wearing, daily steadfastness. Men
who can make up their minds to hold
out against the torture Of an hour
have sunk under the WEAKNESS and
the harass of small, prolonged vexa-
tions. There is many Chris
tian who feels the irksomeness of the
duties of life. and feels his spirit re-
voting from them. 70 get up every
morning with the firm resolve to find
pleasure in those duties, and to do them
we'll, and finish the work which God
has given us to dO-that is to drink
Christ's cup.-F. w. Robertson.
