Love Is not matter of feeling, OF
emotion. 1t is an attitude Of being.
He who loves another, holds that
other dear-is ready to act in such
way as to advance that others
true interests. Love does not depend
on ones moods, is not measured by
ones present emotions, never pivots
on ones feelings. Love, because 1t
is love, is imperative as duty itself,
and dominates actions as positively
and as continuously as does duty. He
who loves his country is not neces-
sarily swayed by warm feelings, or
tender emotions, with reference to his
country. He simply holds his dear,
dearer than self, and therefore is
ready TO live or to die for that
country, whether he feels like it or
not. He who loves his fellow holds
them dear as those whom God loves,
and therefore who are to be counted as
80 far representatives Of God however
they may seem to one who is near
them. The evidence Of love is found
in conduct emotion. This question Is
not what we feel toward another, but
what we are ready to do for anot her,
however we feel, when our love Is
at issue. A parent who says he loves
his child, and then consents to his
child's having something he ught
not to have, or doing something. he
ought not to do, because of his tender
ness, shows in his conduct that he
lacks the love for his child which
he says he has. The man who calls
himself "lover," and then shoots the
girl he claims to love because she does
not love him, proves by his conduct
that he never loved that girl, and he
seems to show that he never loved any
one-even himself. He is helpless
slave of his own worst passions,
without any knowledge of the senti-
ment of true love. Love ever holds
dear its object, and in action ever
puts first the true welfare of its
object regardless of selfish feeling
and considerations, and apart from
the drawings of emotion. Not feel.
ings, but actions, are the true test of
love.

Dinpensary-Prohibition.

Several years ago, the people OF South Caro-
lima voted on the question OF license or no
License for the sale Of liquor. The no-license
faction cast majority Of the ballots which
were voted on that question.
The Legislature in its wisdom enacted dis.
pensary law, which, 1t was thought, would
satisfy both factions. Owing to the great cur
tailment of the liquor business the temper.
ance people, as rule, accepted the law as
great improvement on the old way OF selling
liquor Unfortunately, night and day, to all
comers
To this law the liquor element took great
exception. It threw some five thousand men
out Of employment, and they had reason To
complain. 1t shut up the places where the
dram drinker could so easily quench his
thirst, and all that class was dissatisfied. The
wholesale liquor dealers were greatly dis.
tressed, not SO much on account Of the loss o
their sales In South Carolina as to the prece
dent and they have been fithing the law ever
since its enactment.
II the dispensary should stand and be en-
forced, the liquor traffic and drunkenness
would in time disappear in South Carolina
and all those thousands Of agents in the
iiquor udmC mieut Lrdusier LILO ohelsiSS irou
the destructive to the productive side.
Such result would be disastrous to the
LIQUOR business, and to prevent 30 great g
calamity the foreign liquor dealers could. and
no doubt Will, spend Immense sums to defeat
the dispensary law.
Where great money interests are involved
men will spend cash to influence elections
If foreign liqour dealers should send theil
ready cash to bring about the defeat Of Gov
ernor EIlerbe. the temperance people would
have no other interest than principle and
love for the public welfare with which tc
combat the foreign cash and the local self
interest.
The question then is. will South Caroline
become a conquered province of foreign Ii
quor dealers?

Thoughts for Those Who Knows
Trouble.

Watch the faces as they 60 by you
on a crowded street, and just notice
what tired look many of them wear.
If we could read all the hearts around
US, we would find multitudes who are
weary in spirit, and sometimes sigh
for a pillow in the grave. Some are
tired out with life's hard strugges-
with bearing the heat and burden of
the day. Others persists in piling up
anxieties as high as an old-fashioned
peddler's pack. They carry a huge
load of care as to how they shall make
both ends meet, and how they shall
foot the bills that accumulate, and
how the shall provide for all the
hungry mouths and scanty wardrobes.
One is tired from trying to do too
much, and another of waiting for
something to do. A grievous burden
of spiritual dependency makes
Brother Smallfaith's heart ache, and
puts an extra wrinkle on Sister
Weaktack's countenance. Here Is
a disciple who is tired of waiting
for success, and there is another who
is tired Of waiting for answers to
prayer.
Do you suspose that the dear
Master does not see all these bodies
and exhausted nerves and weary
hearts? To those who are honestly
run down with honest toll he says,
"Come We apart into quiet place and
rest awhile" God puts night of
sleep after every day of work for this
very purpose of recruiting loss force.
To Christians with small purses he
kindly says; "Your life CONSISTENT
not in the abundance Of the things ye
possess. I counsel thee to buy of
me gold tried in the fire, that thou
mayest be rich. My grace is suffi-
cient for thee; at my right hand
are treasures forevermore." There is
not really money enough in this land
to give everybody fortune; but there
are promises enough in the Bible and
grace enough in Christ Jesus to make
everybody rich to all eternity. Just
think what a millionaire man is
who has clean conscience here and a
clear hope of heaven hereafter. To
poor Brother Smallfaith and SORROW
full Mrs. Weskback be gives wonder
full lift in these words: "Lo! am
with you Away. No man shall pluck
you out of my hands. 1t is my
Fathers good pleasure to give you the
kindom."

Distinguish Guests.

Tomorrow q dozen or more wealthy North
ern Cotton MIL men will arrive In Abbeville
to look at the Abbevile Cotton Mill, In which
several Of them are pecuniarlly interested.
During their stay they will make the ac-
whom a conference may be had as to the
future of the mill.
All the visiting mill men who have seen
pleased with 1t.
The officers Of the mill at the very begin
ming, em ployed Messrs. Lockwood, Green g.
Co., OF Boston, the best known mill architects
ID America, and the directors Of the mill
have been, so to speak, as clay in the hands
of the potter.
The every wish OF the architects has been
respected, and the officers Of the Abbeville
Cotton Mill have compiled with every direc-
ton or instruction, both as to the construc-
ton of the building and as to the purchase of
the machinery.
The architects. appreciating the efforts OF
the officers OF our mill TO make this mill the
equal OF any mill in the State, have interested
several we'll known mill men In Boston and
New York ID the Abbeville Cotton Mil. and
they will be here tomorrow, prospecting pos
sibIy for other Investments and the enlarge
ment Of our mill at some day not far in the
future.
Not many Of US in Abbeville have ever seen
a millionaire, but 1t Is possible that several
Of the rich men OF the east will he with US
tomorrow, an d If we get no other advantage
from their presence, we can for once look
upon the forms and figures Of live millionaires
on the streets of Abbeville.
The mill is running beautifully. and the
cloth which Is woven there, ranks with the
best of Its kind. The need now is, more ma.
chinery to fill the vacant floor space, while
we have In the not distant future, day
dream Of yet larger and more portentous
buildings which shall be filled with thousands
OF flying wheels that will be attended by
many skillful hands.
We believe we have on former occasion
noted the fact that all the machinery Is now
running satisfactory and that the officers OF
the mill are bringing good results. The dis
tinguished guests:
The Southern Railway company'a vesti-
buled, limited from Washington, will come
to Abbev1lle about noon today, bringing q
party of Forthern bankers. capitalist. and
cotton mill manufacturers on a tour OF exam

Brave and Manly.

Those OF our readers who have bad access 10
the newspers Of this State, will readily concur
In the opinion that all the complaint that
has been made against Governor Ellerbe, has
arisen from the friends OF the bar-rooms, or,
II possible to make the expression more
agreeable to the ears of his enemies, we
might change the wording to the advocates
of high licensed bars"
1t, therefore, seems that the Issue In the
next campaign is to be based solely on the
whiskey question.
The friends OF temperance and the restrlc'
tion OF the sale Of liquor on one side, while
the friends OF the liquor traffic as formerly
carried on In our bars on the other side are 10
be arrayed against each other.
This, we believe, to be the prospect In the
coming campaign.
The enemies OF the dispensary who are
fighting the restrictions placed upon the sale
of LIQUOR in this State have written volumes
against the Jaw which they do not like, and
of late their efforts have been directed toward
weakening Governor Elerbe in the public
confidence. This in the hope Of defeating
him for reelection, and in the further hope
that LIQUOR Governor may be elected.
II Governor Ellerbe in his faithful efforts to
enforce the restrictions OIL the sale Of liquor
can be defeated, the liquor element can al
least well afford to take chances In electing
Governor who will be more favorable to their
side.
OF course II the man who Is brought out by
the advocates OF the bars could be elected, he
would be under obligations to be more lem
lent in enforcing the law against his friends.
Governor Ellerbe's recent utterances are
brave and manly. without fear or bringing to
his enemies, and like all of his previous ut
terances, they have clear and unmistakable
meaning. They will give great ofense to
those who oppose restrictions on the sale Of
LIQUOR, but they will be most gratifying 10
the friends OF temperance.
Others may do as they please, but the Press
and Banner will support Governor Ellerbe
against any man that may be brought out by
the advocates Of the licensed bars. South
Carolina has had her full of the barroom
system. The people Of this State are In
the column Of progress apd do not propose to
reopen places for the indiscriminRte sale OF
liquor, where the youth and the manhood Of
the country may be seduced and debauched
under t4e forrls Of law.
Whlsss great many people may honestly
and coHscientiously believe that such places
ought TO be licensed and kept open as In for
mer days, yet there are thousands who be.
lieye that such places should remain closed.

The conscience requires to be en-
lightened. Gods law is written upon
it but the lettering is like that of
an old inscription, where the words
filled up with moss and mold, 80
they are apt to be misread and require
to be recut.
1t is the vice of the unlearned to
uppose that the knowledge of books
is of no account, and the vice of
scholars to think there Is no other
knowledge worth having.

Question.
The Columbia Register SAYS:

"The question has been asked why 1t is that
from the bench, from the bar. from the coun-
ellis Of government. from our great institu-
tions Of learning, men OF ability are every
ploymen rather than to the service Of the
people,"
1t would also be proper 10 ask why the best
mechanical skill and the best executive abili.
ty gravitate toward the corporations and en-
ter their pay, instead of seeking employment
from individuals.
The answer is plain enough. Where large
interests are involved 1t pays to hire the best
talent, and the best talent can get better pay
from corporations than from individuals.

To preach successfully the gospel OF our
blessed Lord and Saviour, one great require
ment is necessary. The preacher must be a
manly man. He should be his natural self,
and should neither seek to walk abroad on
stills, nor assume unnatural pronunciations
nor perform fantastic gesticulations In the
house dedicated to the worship Of the Most
High.

VIENNA, Feb. PA dispatch to The
Neue Freie Presse from Athens says
that the great powers have requested
Greece to withdraw her forces from the
island of Crete within "a hours.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-The parliamentary
secretary for the foreign office, Mr..
George NJ. Curzon, has read dispatches
in the house of commons from the Brit
ish consul at Greece confirming the an
nouncement made that an armistice of
one week had been arranged tween
the Mussulmans and Christians at Sell
nos, island of Crete. at the instance of
the British, Italian and Russians con-
suls.
Mr.. Curzon added that the consul has
done his best to calm the Christians,
intimating to them that the solution OF
the Cretan troubles depended on the
great powers. Though 1t appears he
made a great impression the dispatches
of the consnl further stated the armis-
tice would not suffice TO save the 1900
Mussulmans at Candamos and the l0,-
600 at Spaniaco and Selinos from GER
tain death should a Greek war vessel
appear there.
From an interview which the consul
had with the insurgent chiefs the gov
ernment gathered that the Christian
outbreak at Sehnos was due entirely to
the belief that the Christians had been
massacred at Canea and TO the encour-
agement received from the presence of
Greek warships and soldiers.
Both Christians and MusSulmans, ac-
cording to the consul, declared that or
der would be restored If 300 foreig.l
troops were landed.

send the 300 troops referred to,
To this Mr.. Curzon replied that he
could not say whether the government
would or would not

Buried Under SNOW slides.

Denver, February 21.-SnOw slides
have wrought much damage, and at
least two lives were lost in the past "a
hours. Mail Carrier J. f Bell was
caught in a slide under about % feet of
snow. Rescuing parties took off 10 feet
directly over him, and then gave him up
for dead. He lay unconscious until S
O'Clock this morning. When his senses
returned he heard water trickling This
water had brought him air and saved his
life. He dug to the stream and then to
the surface. Then he walked three
miles to the nearest house and fell un-
conscious as soon aa he realized he was
saved. James Petty was carried over a
precipice with a pack train yesterday,
most of the burros being killed and him
self only slightly injured.
A snow slide caught the cabin of the
Cleopatra mine, HOskln, killing Martin
Meliny and injuring his three partners,
His relatives live IN Pennsylvania. AT
Ophir, Col, a slide demolished the
railroad station and y freight cars
The station agent and his wife were in
the building at the time. The timbers
fell in such shape that the man was but
slightly injured and his wife did not re-
ceive a single bruiSe. About as rapidly
as the roads nave been opened they have
been blocked by more slides.
