In its special from the Theological
Seminary of Virginia, the Washington
Post of yesterday says:
hast evening the studcnts of the
Seminary rendered DR.. Carl t.. Gram
mcr n banquet in token of their friend
snip and high esteem OF him.
DIR. Grammcr has been Professor OF
ecclesiastical History here for the past
eleven years, and by his ripe scholar
ship, spiritual enthusiasm and gcn.ality
has endcared himself to the students
and to all with whom he has come in
contact. Recently DIR. Grammer was
called as rector to Christ Church, Nor
folk, and while he loves the seminary
and fully appreciates the tender regard
in which he is held here. he felt that
duty called him from his beloved alma
mater to assume the new and wider re-
sponslbilities of the parish life, and so
he accepted the call.
The student body. in view of his
near departure, resolved once again 10
meet him around the festive board, and
so gave this banquet. Undcr the ell
Client management OF the committee,

and Covington. the admirably arranged
programme was happily carried out.
Tho POSTMASTER. Mr.. l:oykin. of the
senior class, presided most gracefully,

tween the speeches. DR.. Walker, the
honorcd dean of the institution, re-
spondcd very happily to the toast, 1.-The

OF the appreciation the tuden felt
for their professor. rcmarkinE that they
had learned to regard him NOT only with
feelings Of affection, but ever looked
upon him in the light of a companion
and friend. Mr. Capcrs glowingly al

ties which bound DR.. Grammer to the
institution. and closed his response with
a beautiful expression OF what he said
he knew to be the students wish for his
future happiness and success.
professor Blackford. Principal of the
Episcopal High School, spoke to the
toast TO that institution. He traced It's
close connection with the seminary
through the varying scenes. of half n
century, and referred TO DR.. Grammcr's

hat other nations have purchased YES
sells when a sudden necessity therefor
arose.
1.-THE New York Times, which has be-
fore alluded to this matter, again takes
it up and says:
we are r'cw at peace with all man
kind, and II purchase of a warship or
two by US need possess no special sig
niicance beyond the plain purpose of
repairing our recent loss. No nation
would hesitate to sell us a ship on the
ground that her action might be con-
Strued as hostile to some other nation
with which she was on terms of amhty.
The wisdom OF buying instead of wait
Ing to build requires no gum in
Justification except for those who dis
approve Of navics altogether, and they
are n q now, and never will be any Son-
siderable fraction of the American peo-
pie. For various reasons 1t is
desirable that our navy should not,
during tho coming year, he weaker than
1t has been during the past year. Being
al peace. we may maintain the peace
footing without giving anybody at
home or abroad cause for uneasiness.
Cause for criticism II not for u~ncasiness
might be given by any considerable
delay in making good the loss of the
Maine"
AS TO what Secretary Long or Pres
ident Mckinley, or Congress might think
OF such a policy. is, of course, a uues-
ton, but certainly we need more ships,
and they should be had with as little
delay as possible.

Larry CAN'T Accounts For Ellerbe's Close
Shave.
The Piedmont Headlight undertook
to carry Spartanburg county for Gov
ernor Ellerbe with a whoop; but when
the votes were counted, the result
showed up EIlerbe 2,191; Feather
stone, 2,5l4. This development had
TO be accounted for in some way, and
The Headlight figures it up as follows
"But the reduced vote polled by
Governor Ellerbe was not intended as
a rebuke 20 his administration; but a
disapproval of the manner in which
the dispensary has been managed in
the past. Too much favoritism had
been shown the state constables, and
the people demanded that these officers
be held to strict account for their acts
the same as other private citizens, and
not be made special pets of. The par
doning of May and Buice, after their
conviction by an impartial jury, lots
Governor Ellerbe hundreds of votes
in the upper section of our county as
we'll as in Greenville, while the cruel
and unprovoked killing of Mr.. Turner
by Newbold set the whole county
ablaze with indignation. In Spartan
burg county hundreds of strong friends
of the dispensary voted for Feather
stone simply to show their disapproval
of the manner in which the dispensary
has been managed, and to put quietus
on the shooting down of men for an
offense which, at most, would only put
them to the chaingang for short time.
"The next Legislature will have to
overhaul the dispensary law, and put
a stop to even the suspicion of wrong
doing, and hold. constables to strict
account for their acts, or two years
hence the people will rise in their
power and wipe the whole system out
of existence"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-09-28

date, Governor Ellerbe has won, bu
it is the opinion of the Charleston
News and Courier that the chief cause
of Featherstone's surprisingly large
vote was the deep-seated dislike o.
the people of South Carolina to the
dispensary system. That many South
Carolinians think that almost any
change would be an Improvement upon
the dispensary, and they would be
willing t. vote for almost anything
that would upset it.
We do not see how it could be 9th
erwise. The state has no business to
be engaging in any sort of traffic, least
of all in the liquor traffic, and it is
hard to conceive how the liquor busi.
ness conducted in South Carolina by
individuals could have been productive
of more evil than under the Tillmau
system.
1t has not been success from a
financial standpoint, the revenue which
the state has derived being very much
smaller than was anticipated. 1t has
not been a success from temperance
standpoint, because there has been the
same consumption of whisky. 1t
has not been success from a moral
standpoint, but on the contrary has
been honeycombed with scandal from
start to finish, and has caused strife
contention and the loss of many lives.
From whatever standpoint we may
view Mr.. Tillman's grand scheme it is
a failure, and it is only question of
time before the people of the state
will put it down.

ADVERTISING AS A COMMERCIAL
RATING.-Country publishers receive
subscriptions now and then from city
firms who can have no interest in the
local news of the paper. This para
graph in the New York Times may
explain the reason for these "foreign"
subscriptions:
ga wholesale grocer in this city, who
has become rich at the business, says
his rule is that when he sells bill OF
goods on credit to Immediately sub
scribe for the local paper of his debtor.
So long as his customer advertised lib
orally, he rested, but as soon as he be-
gan to contract his advertising space
he took the fact as evidence that there
was trouble ahead and invariably went
for the debtor. Said he: The man
who is too poor to make his business
known is too poor to do business. The
withdrawal of an advertisement is
evidence Of weakness that business
men are not slow to act upon. There's
nothing like it,"
