The Ludlow Tribune is wholly
for temperance, but for state prohi-
bition, never. 1t announces its creed
on the liquor question in brief as
follows:
"Our creed on the liquor question
in brief is this: We believe that
the traffic in liquor in this country
and the world is destructive and
criminal; we believe that it should
be stopped entirely; failing that, it
should be stopped as nearly as pos
sible; we believe the prohibition law
of the state of Vermont is not the
best solution or even good solution
of the difficulty; we believe that
while on the statute books it should
be enforced, but that it should be
taken from the statute books rather
than allow it to be so flagrantly vlo-
lated as it is and has been for years
and years"

Spirit Of the A9e,
Woodstock. w., Mar IS, 1899.
BY EDWARD c. DANA.

Recent liquor raids in this county
have aroused considerable interest in
the prohibitory law and the attempt
at its enforcement. States Attorney
Sargent has been losing some sleep
in Il vigorous prosecution of violators
of the law. He is doing very we'll
as well as any one could do toward
stopping the liquor traffic with a
divided public opinion back of him.
The traffic may be checked here and
there, but enforcement of the law
without the united support of the
community is out of the question
here or in any other part Of the state.
The sale of liquor goes on in one
place if not in another and wiser
measures Than any yet evolved are
necessary Tor its regulation so long
as it is demonstrated that it is i'm
possible to suppress it entirely.

The License Ordinance.

The license ordinance as passed by our city
council will be read with interest by our peo-
pie.
From q hurried glance at the list Of fees
charged, we are inclined 10 think that this Is
about as fair q way 10 raise money az would
be by levy Of taxes. In some instances the
license Is the only way to be just to the citi-
zens Of the town. Speaking for the Press and
Banner, we are perfectly willing to pay the
license. and regard the principle as good,
when the fees are equitably arranged, as they
seem to be in this instance.
The only question with as is, as to the ex.
penditure OF the large sums which are collect
ed While the cost Of publishing an itemized
statement might be something, yet the plan
which some cities adopt, OF publishing
monthly or quarterly statements, would be
source Of satisfaction to the tax payer. Such
a course, 1t seems to us, would be more salts
factory TO the council.
The council certainly have no concealments
to make, and for this reason We are quite sure
that there can be no objection to the publca'
ton. except for economic reasons The Press
and Banner believes that the council would
be more than justified In making monthly OF
quarterly publications OF their financial
transactions.
But, whether the publications are made OF
not, we have no objection to urge TO the IL
cense ordinance and shall cheerfully pay our
assessment.

Death of Prof. ]. F. G. DuPre.

Our people little thought when Prof. DuPre
was among us few days ago, In apparent
health, that be would so soon be corpse.
But we hold our life by very uncertain
tenure, and those of us who are seemingly the
healthiest may be the first to answer the
summons OF Death.
For about thirty years, Mr.. DuPre was
citizen Of Abbeville, and during the greater
part OF that time he held places or offices
OF public trust. His popularity with the
people has never been surpassed. He was
elected to every Office for which he offered,
and on one occasion received ninety per cent.
OF the votes.
AS politician he never assumed intolerant
or extreme measures, but acted 80 as to
receive the endorsement Of the people OF
different shades Of politics. d.
In many respects Mr.. DuPre was remark
able man. Commencing life With limited
education, by reading and study he acquired
fund of Information, which enabled him
to fill the various positions to which he
aspired.
He was great lover Of flowers and delight.
ed to grow them. He found great pleasure in
ornamenting the grounds around bis home
on Secession Hill. 1t was because OF the
beautiful appearance Of that place that
TIllman nominated him for Professor OF
Horticulture. And We venture to suggest
that Clemson College had no more popular
and no more efficient Professor in the institu'
ton than j. F. c. DuPre.

The statement has been made that the
South was chained to the Democratic chariot
and the minority Is compelled to submit to
the will Of the majority. no matter how un-
reasonable or despotio 1t may be. And we
presume this condition will exist as long as
the election laws remain as they are-and
they must remain forever, or as long as the
existing dangers threaten.
For our own part, II the skeleton OF the
negro vote could be removed by 30 doing, we
would be willing TO reduce our representa-
In Congress.
But this reduction may not be made for the
simple reason that the Republicans consider
the South good fighting ground. They are
willing to give the Dem ocratic representation
In Congress In order to have the vote Of the
Southern negro in their nominating conven-
tion. The number OF delegates to the Nation
al Conventions is regulated by the Represen-
tation in Congress. While large Democratic
representation In Congress from the South,
increases the Democratic minority, the Re.
publican delegation from the South repre-
sents no good which can be delivered, yet in
convention their votes count.

Railroads.

Beside the Black Diamond, there seems 10 be
another Richmond in the field. 1t Ia now pro-
posed to build q single tract railroad from
Chattanooga, Tenn, to Walhalla In this State.
The proposed new road is an unpretentious
affair, only $50 miles long, and will cost but
81, 100000.
This newspaper Is not In formed as to the
probable effect which the new road will have,
II any, on this part of the country, but 1t is
fair to presume that Abbeville will share In
any benefits that may accrue to the country
In the way OF cheap freights and close con-
nections with the West.
The Black Diamond, with its double track
will give Us the fullest and best accommoda-
ton, but IL Is we'll to have two strings to our
bow.
The survey OF the Black Diamond, we be.
licve is nearly finished, and We have seen
notices In the newspapers that quote Captain
Kirk as an authority for the statement that
the building OF the road Is a certainty. Capt.
Kirk having had much experience as an en-.
glner, and being at the head OF the corps, we
have no doubt that he knows whereof he
speaks.
Our people would be delighted at the com.
ing OF so good road which would put them
in direct communication with the west, and
Capt. Kinks assurance is very grateful one.
The line has been permanently located
hereabout. the only break in the line, that we
have heard OF, being at or near the 8. A. L.
coal shute. The 8. A. l.. authorities made
some protest against the Black Diamond tres
passing on their property or their right oi
way.

Thirty.One Per Cent.

Yorkville, Aug. l8.-The net earnings Of the
cotton mill at Clover, York County, for the
year ending July 3Oth, was $50, ,940-Sl per cent;
on the capital stock Of $50 900. The original
capacity Of the mill will be trebIed next Octo.
Der. This years dividend completes the pay:
ment 10 stockholders OF every cent invested
In the plant since the mills were established
eight years ago.-News Item.
There seems to be quite a difference In the
management Of cotton mills. We known
some that have been running number OF
years with quite flourish Of trumpets and
the dividends 30 far are co. Why the diter.
ence Local in Associate Reformed Presby-
terian.
Yes; there ia difference in the manage
ment Of cotton mills, and there Is also diff
ference in the promptness with which SUBJ
scribers pay to the capital stock. When
a subscriber to the capital stock Of O cotton
mill refuses to honor bis obligation, 1t i'll be-
comes that particular subscriber to complain
at condition to which his own act contrib
uted. Until man has paid his own subscrip-
ton he has no right to cast slurs or insinua-
tions at those who were compelled to assume
the obligation which he repudiated.

Editor COnner's Mistake.

Our good brother Charles T, Conners, OF the
Lancaster Review, means we'll, but in writing
of the editor OF the Press and Banner last
week, he gets some Of his facts little mixed
There Is not single instance on record where
this editor partook Of "stale beer, musty Pass
over bread, and able.bodied herring" As
consequence we never developed "much SYM
pathy for that unfortunate animal that swal-
lowed man." who afterward soured on the
big fsh's stomach. We had nothing In the
stomach from which to "raise cain," or any.
thing else.
The facts are: This editor was In George.
iowa at the time stated. He was behind on
eating, but could get nothing at the hotel,
and went to bed supperless He never drank
stale beer, or red whiskey, and he eats fish Of
no kind at any time.
Further on Brother Conners speaks of this
editors visit to Lancaster. We leave others
to say whether he hit or missed the mark in
this paragraph, in which he says:
"By the way, speaking OF Bro. Wilson, We
are reminded OF his first visit to Lancaster
some weeks ago, when verybody In town
mistook him for preacher. That he was
minister Of the gospel nobody doubted, and
discrimination der % he belonged. Even bis former
acousintances did not at first recognize him,
so strikingly clerical is his appearance be-
coming as the years roll round. Though Bro.
Wilson Is not preacher, he is good enough
to make one. We have often wondered why
80 model man as he has never married, liv-
Ing too, as he does, In q community noted for
the fascinating beauty OF It's women. His
failure TO wed may possibly be due to his
absent mindedness. But there Is one thing
the brother never forgets TO do, and that is, TO
get out on time each week one OF the best
Newspapers published in the South"
The Press and Banner will have no dispute
with Brother Conners in this paragraph.
Whether his judgment is correct or not. we
shall not inquire, but shall accept 1t all IN
good faith. Brother Conners is a good man,
and We like him, even If he did get some Of
the facts wrong.
