Question.

The Newberry Observer makes public the
private grievance of that paper In the mat
ter of not getting the election advertisement.
The idea which this paper has of injury In
tlicted Is, that it Is better to have good
memory and bide ones time. Every editor
will sooner or later, have chance to get even
with his enemies. If they are worthy OF his
steel, and II 1t be deemed expedlent to do so.
If the officer is an honor to his place
he will prefer the friendship of the neWspa-
per, and will act right with the printer.
The people have no sympathy with per-
sonal quarrel by the man who gets lett.
Neither has the public any interest In the
quarrel between competitors.
II competitors misunderstood each other
this newspaper believes that it is better to
say it face to face, or else remain silent.

Whistling to Keep Their Courage UE

Whistling to Keep Their Courage Up
Mr.. Bryan and his supporters announce
that the free silver fight will be resumed in
1900.
II 1t does them any good to talk thus we see
no harm in II.
II 1t affords them any pleasure, surely the
gold bugs ought not to object.
But let the citizen turn his attention 10 the
practical business of his own individual en-
terprise.
The election OF q particular faction, or a
particular political party is very important
to few individuals, but to the great mass OF
US 1t makes no sort of difference who gets the
offices, or whether we have free and unlimit-
ed silver or the much despised gold.
We can get none of 1t without giving some
thing for 1t. The coinage of silver would no
doubt help the silver kings, but 1t can do none
of US good unless we have something to give
in exchange for it.
Let the individual look out for himself
Any country, or any law, will do for the
rich.
1t Is the poor man who has TO work, and
plan, no matter who is President.
There is now In Washington at least barn
full of silver dollars. Suppose car load of
them should be shipped to Abbeville, how
are we to get any of them, unless we have
cotton or something else to give in exchange9

Criminal Carelessness-Reckle Use
of Firearms.


II you want to read. q sad story turn to the
account of the shooting of prisoner last
week in York willie. The cold -blooded manner
ip which the story Is recited cannot do other
wise than make your heart ache.
Christian people, with hearts in them, pro-
test against the cruelty practlced in shooting
pigeons, and yet the Yorkville Enquirer re-
ports the shooting Of a condemned mortal
with apparent relish, and commendation. OF
an act, the mere recital OF which makes
ones blood run cold.
Tie cruelty of the sport Of shooting pigeons
is done In this way: The poor bird, which is
IN captivity. is set free from its cage. In at
tempting to secure the proffered liberty 1t Is
shot by the cruel merksmsn who stands
ready with his gun.
And was 1t not so in York Vile last week
when the prisoner was allowed the possibility
OF escape? Did not the man shooter see the
intimatlon that the prisoner was preparing to
run even as the shooter watches the pigeon
fly? Did not the man shooter do as the
pigeon shooter does, prepare for the firing OF
the deadly shot? Did not the man shooter
discharge his gun with exactness, GOODNESS
and deliberation, even as does the bird
shooter?
In the career OF long life we have never
read a more borrowing story OF cruelty and
blood.
The officer should have secured his prisoner
and not have allowed him to believe that he
could gain his liberty by running. The
pigeon is not shot until the chance for liberty
Is offered.
1t seems that too many constables or deputy
sheriffs are of the opinion that they are au-
thorized to shoot down anybody. If the off,
GERS at Yorkville had made their prisoner
secure there would have been no need Of de-
liberately trying to shoot the life out of a
poor defenseless, condemned, creature.

In Opposition to the Dispensary, and
in Favor Of Free.

There seems to be movement on foot To
make an organized effort to break up the dis
pensary, the consequent result of which eff
fort, If successful, would be to open the bars
again. or esle to have either free liquor or in
dividuals licensed to deal in itfor the purpose
of debauching our people because of the
money profit there may be in the traffic.
In Columbia there has been organized what
seems to US an Anti-Reform Club, which has
adopted for its name the Prohibition Party,
or words to that effect. These same people
are supported in their prohibition move
ment, we believe, by the entire press of the
State which favors bars and opposes the pre-
sent administration.
Some preachers have lent the use OF their
names to this political organization.
The hypocritical cry that the State Is DEAL
ing in LIQUOR will fool nobody with thimole
full OF brains If he will only look at the facts,
as they exist. For time out Of mind the
State has been in the liquor business TO the
extent OF authorizing individual citizens to
engage in the work of retailing liquor.
The State desires to Iemove temptations
from It's citizens and has curtailed the busi-
ness by shutting up thousand bars which
ihdy hoNC DCOu OPCu III AOhos Al
Guiding possible breach OF the Sabbath day.
Now, some men in this State, assuming to
fool the people into retrograde movement
on the liquor question, are seeking to close
the hundred dispensaries, under the ostensi-
BILE plea Of prohibition.
Christian men who join the liquor element,
or 60 with the bar-room advocates in their
cry for prohibition, are either insincere in
their profession Of temperance, or are woful-
ly lacking in a proper appreciation of the
situation.
1t is hard for this newspaper to have proper
respect for the preacher who would stand In
the altar Of the holy temple, and do any.
thing, or say anything to weaken the cause of
temperance in South Carolina.
And no man could convince this newspa-
per that any real friend of temperance would
now seek to break up the dispensary.
With this before US we cannot rid our mind
OF the belief that the enemy of the dispen-
sary, is at the heart the friend OF the bars
and in favor OF the liquor traffic.
