CLARENCE E. HADDON.
A Pastors Beautiful Tribute 10 tho
Young Life Which Has Been Ended.

Haddon, Clarence E., eldest son Of Robt. A.
and Emma Haddon, was born In Abbeville e

the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, at
Shiloh, under the ministry OF Rev. s. J.
Berthea, at the age OF twelve years, remain.

ment as q means OF disseminating the word
OF God, which would have done credit TO
much older heads, and TO many, more accus.

was young mae OF adm irabie traits OF
character. He was modest In his bearing, re-
fined In his nature, atfable in his disposition,
and courteous TO all, consequently had won
lor himself a host OF friends. Clarence was
an obedient and an affectionate son. Though

thing than In his loving attention to his

world twenty three years lacking three
months, and that all these years he had been
so good to him. He expressed his willingness

the fact Of the inconsistencies and backslid-

name, and said thatlf he had his friends and
acquaintances present he would warn them
of their danger. He then called his father,
mother, brother, and sisters around his dy-

live lives more consecrated TO God and his
service. Having obtained a promise from
each, he urged them TO keep their VOWS.

LIQUOR Profits and the schools.

For various reasons, various persons are op
posed to the appropriation Of the liquor prof
its to the support of the schools. These oppo
nents may be divided as follows:
l. Good and we'll meaning men who are
actuated by conscientious motives.
.. Friends OF the license or barroom sys
tenn who hope by Joining with conscientious
men, to defeat or cripple the law.
8. Men who do not think the schools shoulo
be made a dumping ground for funds tha
should 60 into the general treasury.
Opposition 10 the measure for the first rea
son cannot be squared with the action ol tne
Presbyterian church in supporting their Inc
oloeical Seminary in Columbia. We beileVe
the endowment fund of that institution
largely invested in the bonds OF the CITY
which city In former years raised large pro
norton OF it's revenue, with which to pay 10
terest on said bonds, from the lincensed oars
which. 1t is presumed, did more or less DUST
ness on Sunday. A large per cent. of the en-
dowment OF that religious institution Is, also
We beieve. invested in railroad bonds, which
railroads run their trains on Sunday, and !oI
services on that day raise portion OF the an
nual interest.
Are the public schools on higher CHRISTIAN
plane or on a better moral basis than ths
Presbyterian Theological Seminary? Ihe
Seminary having invested in the city and
railroad bonds cannot now do otherwise than
continue to receive the revenue from liquor
and Sunday railroad traffic. TO sell the bonds
would be to perpetuate the sin, which car
only be avoided by burning the bonds OF tne
city and the railroads.
This editor is opposed to putting the llquoi
money to the credit Of the schools for the Sim
pie reason that we think the money shoulo
have gone into the general treasury OF tne
State.
Asa further evidence of the inconsistency
of opposing the liquor profits for the scnoois
we would mention that nearly all OF the de
nominational colleges own, as part Of their en-
dowment fund, bonds Of cities and railroads
We believe that all railroads run their trains
on Sunday, and that all cities derive revenue
from licensed sin-that of selling liquor
Aside from this, interest on notes run on
Sunday, and so it might be that we coulo
keep on refining and purifying, by having
nothing to do with the unclean thing, until
there would be no place for us to exist, Aoso
Lutte observance Of the Sabbath, and aosoiute
withdrawal from all association with SID
would make us perfection indeed.

The Metropolitan Police.

five are to Judge from outside appearances
that Is to say, from the newspapers, ana
from the fact of the recent visit of the Legis
lature to Charleston-there has been grea'
change in the public sentiment OF that GU!
on the subject of enforcing the liquor law.
Almost daily the metropolitan police RAID
places where liquor is sold, and we now see
no long accounts of how the bushes men, the
bankers and merchants of the city turned
out to jeer and insult the police who have
been teaching the lawless foreign element
the necessity for obeying the laws OF theli
adopted country. From the Governors mes
sage we learn that United States license haS
been issued to only l4O blind tigers, and thai
the police are busy shutting these places. II
begins to look Us if Charleston was going to
recognize the laws OF the Slate as OF some
force.

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS
Seeming Unprecedented Demand for
GuanO and Other FerfiliZerS,

Our farmers are going right straight along
paying no attention TO the advice which has
been freely gwen to- the Texas farmers
not to plant largely OF cotton. The Texas
farmer Is easily gulled. and he will no doubt
obey the directions, Instructions or advice
which the mobs may give, but our farmers,
like sensible men, are going along get
ting ready TO make Il big crop. while the Tex
as farmer IS playing fool aud curtailing his
crop. Our people know that the cotton crop
Is the best money crop in the world and they
can depend on no other crop for money.
They have learned by precept example and
experience that the prosperous farmer must
plant a variety of crops, and that he must
find profitable work the year round. They
have also learned the value OF cattle and good
pastures. With their eyes wide open they
are ing good care OF the little crops, but
we infer from the great quantities of fertili.
Zer that Is being hauled out or town that they
are making preparation for n big cotton crop.
This we believe to be wise. The farmer must
have money next Fall. The little side crops
are great help, aud Il great saw lng. and they
cannot well be dispensed with, but the cotton
crop Is q necessity.

Come Home, Gentlemen.

About the poorest Legislature that ever sal
is now in session and about the most nonslca'
and foolish waste of-money is the continu'
ance Of the session. They talk of very little
that is of any interest to the public, and we
think the people are tired. A Legislature
that has nothing higher nor better than Its
own pay to talk about had better come home.
A Legislator that deserves the name ought
to have the old price, SIS. If he comes below
that he aught to be excused from service
either as Statesman or Legislator.

NEW RULE.

Freight Must be UnIOaded or Else
Charges Will be Made for Deten.
ton Of Cars.
We learn that the Railroad authorities have
Issued orders TO the effect that after three
days. the companies will charge one dollar q
day for every car which is detained because
OF failure or consignee to unload his freight.
This rule was necesstated because guano and
other freight has been leftin the cars for an
indefinite length of time. The companies
were thus deprived of the use Of the cars, and
their sidetracks were insufficient to accom-
modate the accumulated boxes. But the or
der charging one dollar day for use of cars
as store rooms has cleared the side tracks.
The order seems TO be just and equitable.
