A Law to Make Drunkards.

Mr.. EDITOR: We write to say that We
are passing through one Of the severest
trials and af1lictions of life. and all largely,
if no. altogether, due to the State dispen-
sation of wbiskey. We do not Wish to
think hardly, or speak harshly of any one,
but feel that our Legislature has done q
great Injustice to the people OF South Car
olina in i'm posing on them a law to make
drunkards out Of their husbands, sons and
kindred, and thus destroy the peace and
happiness of thousands Of families.
The people asked for thread and they
were given a stone;" they asked for fish
and were given serpent-a serpent in
deed that "biteth like serpent and sting
9th like an adder" But We feel that there
is a Just, true and good God. who will keep
vigilant watch over the heart rendings,
te.rs and griefs Of our fathers, mothers,
wives and children, and in His own good
time and manner me!e out justice; for it
ls written, '.Shall not the Lord of all the
earth do righ,2" The Lord told Abraham
that if even ten righteous persons could
be found in Sodom and Gomorrah be
would, for their sake, save these cities so
We trust there are enough righteous and
praying people In S3uth Carolina to save
the State from the woe! which God has
pronounced against those who "put The
bottle to their neighbour lip"
Pray for us and ours. We feel that we
represent the feelings and eorrows OF
thousands of others in our once happy and
prosperous State.

Advance, Endeavor!

There is no religious organization In the
United States more widely known, or its
influence more felt for good, than the So
ciety of Christian Endeavor. With its
membership of over two millions, 1t 1s
training q host of earnest young Chris
tians, who will do active service In the
cause of Christ In the next generation.
The Society being under the strict control
of the church in which it is organized,
ia thus adapted to all denominations, as
is proven by the fact thirty-two denom-
nations have recognized tho usefulness
of the Societies by permitting them to be
organized in their churches. Although
the promoters of the movement are proud
of this fact, yet its chief mission Is not
forgotten, for they seek in every way to
inoulcate the lesson of loyalty to Christ
and to the Churches in which the Socie-
ties are organized.
The State Christian Endeavor Union,
realizing the good that has been accom-
plished wherever the Society has been
introduced and given fair trial, especi-
ally in arousing young Christians to
greater activity in Christ's service, has
decided to ask every minister and Christ
ian worker in the State to cooperate with
them in celebrating the organization OF
tne nrSI Society, ny iOruluR Soo'otloo -
every Church in the State, either on the
End of February, or during the following
week.
Christian worker, we need your assls-
tance. Kindly let us have your hearty
CO. operation, and help us to make the
date mentioned memorable in the hlsto
ry of the Christian Endeavor movement
in South Carolina, because of the great
number of C. q. Societies formed at that
time. All Societies are requested to re-
port to the State G. E. Secretary immedl-
ately after organizing, because it is great
ly desired that he be able to report
great increase in the number of Societies
in the State at the next State G. E. Con
vention, which will be held at Blackville
in April. For constitutions, or other In
formation, write at once to the State Sec
retary, Allan Nicholson. Union, 8. G.

Nothing has been done In this section in
the way of farming yet. Farmers are wish
ing for fair weather 30 that they can SOW
oats. There will be less cotton planted In
this community. We heard farmer say
not long since that he made forty bales
last year, and this year he was going to
plant for FIVE bales. This is right. We
ought not to plant cotton for Wall street
to gamble on. Let US plant variety OF
crops, such as corn, peas, oats, potatoes
and cane. Raise hogs and live at home.

man had lost his buggy and harness. Mr..
Bolt Joined them and they came on to the
city. They notified the officers of what

and sales stables. At two of the stables
the gentlemen were told that two young
white men had been there that morning
and were very anxious to trade or sell q
mule and buggy, but that they had not
succeeded in doing 30. Their conduct,
ana then refusal to give their names when
asked to do 80, at Mr.. J. s. Fowler's
stables, aroused that gentleman's suspic-
ions, and shortly after the young men had
left the city in the direction of Pendleton,
he telegraphed the police there to look out
for them and arrest them. 1t was not long
before Mr.. Fowler was notified that the
vounp men we're under arrest. Trial

"Uncle TOMS Cabin"

The Frank E. Griswold "Uncle Tom
Cabin" Company will appear in the Opera
House tomorrow (Thursday) night. The
Florence, Is. CO. Times, in speaking of the
play, says:
There was a full house at the Opera
House last night to see the drama, "Uncle
Tonf,s Cabin" The parts were all well
rendered. The Times wishea especially to
speak Of little Eva's singing and dancing,
which was beautifully rendered for such
a little girl.
Lawyer Marks, the 'sbrave" man, and
his partner, who was 'the army" while
he was "the general" was right laughable,
as was also aunt Ophelia Topsy was al.
ways on hand when least expected. She
succeeded admirably in teasing our worthy
Miss Ophelis.
The death bed scene of little Eva was
very pathetic as was also the closing scene,
the death. bed Of Uncle Tom. After his
death the scenes are shifted and beautiful
tableau is disclosed representing the heav.
ems opening aud angels awaiting the en-
trance of Uncle Tom, among whom was
little Eva whom he loved 30 well.
The audience in several instances were
moved to tears to be replaced in the next
instance with laughter, and although much
comment had been made upon the rending
Of "Uncle Toms Cabin" il the South,
there was nothing in the least to irjure the
feelings Of even the most sensitive.
The prices of admission are IS aud 80
cents. Reserved seats now on sale.

be as large as that of last year or not. but
think there is general determination
with them to be more self-sustaining,
which means less cotton and more hog
