right side of all moral questions; they
lead and the people follow. The clergy
were against the army canteen and
are also against polygamy, and when
Congress meets again it will be likely
to declare that a law breaker shall
not be law maker. The American
idea of religion is not hampered by the
state. Bishop Mallalieu replied to
General Grout in an appropriate and
interesting manner. He assured the
general that when he was making his
fight against polygomy the clergy of
the country would be with him and
would help in every possible manner.
In speaking of the Vermont prohibi-
ton law he said that it was we'll en-
forced. There is some theft in the
State but the laws against it should
not be repealed because they do not
stop all the theiving. Hunt out the
thieves and the saloons and if those
appointed to enforce the laws do not
do it turn them out and put men in
their places in sympathy with the
cause.

DIR. J. L. Hurlburt Of New York, Pres.
of the Sunday school Union, was then
introduced, and spoke on the Sunday
school Union and on it's literature. 1t
is necessary to look after the Sunday
schools. Save the children in the
Sunday schools and then bring them
into the church, and thus constantly
build up the church. Tracts should
be sent OUT as they can be sent to the
home where the minister can not go.
There is critical time in the life of
the young people in the Sunday
school and we should be careful to
tide them over this time so that they
will be saved to the church. The
Union gives thirteen thousand dollars
to help the foreign press in mission
work. There are three millions in
the Sunday school of the Methodist
church, and many of these young peo-
pie will become the teachers and mis-
sionaries in the years to come. DR..
Hurlburt spoke at some length and
his remarks were listened to with
n-uch interest. The next speaker was
Pref. Kitchen, who spoke on the Ep-
worth League. He spoke of the con-
vention to be held in Indianapolis in
July, and the probable cost of getting
there, also the cost of living while
there. He also spoke of the help by
the organizing of brotherhoods in the
League.
Wednesday afternoon, Prof. Chas.
w. Rishell of Boston University, spoke
for time on ministerial preparation.
Any young man contemplating en-
tering the ministry should go through
the preparatory school, then the col
lege and on into the theological
school. The work which will have to
be done during the years to come will
need such preparation. The students
who attend school in Boston have
the advantages of the fine libraries
and lectures, free. Rev. Olin Sher-
burne then read his report as retiring
presiding elder of the St. Albans dis
trict. He spoke of his cordial rela-
tionship with the ministers and peo-
pie of the district. After he had fin
ished his remarks, DIR. Nutter, in be-
half of the ministers and few lay
men, presented MIR. Sherburne with
beautiful gold watch. An address
was delivered later by DR.. j. L. Hurl-
burt on the Sunday-school. DIR. Hurl-
burt spoke for some time and held
the close attention of the people, The
Sunday school brings the truth to the
Individual 1t breaks the congrega-
ton up into lots of five or eight and
then concentrates the truth upon the
individual, and this is why the Sun
day school gets SO many conversions.
Ten million bibles are distributed
throughout the world every year, and
they are printed in 127 different dia-
lects. Among our foreign people
they DO not come to church but we
reach them through the children in
our Sunday school.
In the evening an address was de-
livered by Rev. j. w. Wadman, mis-
sioDary of the M. E. church in Japan.
DR.. Wadman has been home for about
one year, but expects to return to his
work there in few weeks. He spoke

acts directly on the delicate and important

animation to the rlier and gestures. The
fan that long lay ~listless and idle in the lap

language of a healthy, happy woman.

marvellous merits of this wonderful medi-

The grand jury Of Charleston did
a very unwise and exceedingly fool
ish thing when it threw out all bills
handed to it by the Solicitor charging
men with violating the dispensary
law. To say that the dispensay law
cannot be enforced in that city is a
reflection upon the good people who
reside there and is a humiliating ad-
mission that a state Of lawlessness
exists there which is 8 constant men
ace to the peace and good order of
the State, and the Governor would be
fully justified in proclaiming Charles
ton to be in a state of instruction.
Such a deplorable state Of affairs are
reprehensible; it encourages the law
less and eyilly disposed persons to vio-
late, not only the dispensary law, but
any other law IN the statute bookthat
they may choose, making their per-
verted Judgment The sole arbiter be,
tween right and wrong and ride
rough shod over law and order. It
fosters the spirit of anarchism and puts
the life and property of the citizen
at the mercy of the yandal and
endangers society, the very founda-
ton upon which our government
rests. Because a law is unpopu-
lar and is apparently opposed to the
saloon interest of a certain locality,
is not sufficient reason or excuse
to encourage its violation. The
right way to repeal an obnoxious
law is to enforce it to the letter.
We are confident, however, the news
papers to the contrary, that the best
elements in Charleston, while they
may be opposed to the dispensary
law, do not countenance it's violation
and regret the fight that is being
made on it, that is, the manner in
which it is being conducted.

A Bu:iNE-S S ATE&ENT

The Carolua News : otes that the county

S4n per aunum and >ays: We copgratu
late the Dispatch in securing the work. tor
most asSuredly it would b. in a bad shape
il 1t did no have tb. count. ptlrtins to

patch is de. endent uron such a contract
IS that for its sn' port Its compost
ton for one u onth would probably amount
to more than the revenue II Will re-
ceiye from the county for a years WORK
When newspapers begin to run their busl-
ness on business principles they will make
more money and rea'lv have more friends
Charleston News and Courier.
We read the article on which the
above is a comment, but as it con-
tanned so many palpable ~falsehoods
We had decided to pass the article by
with contempt, but when such a rep
utable newspaper as the News and
Courier does not understand the facts,
as it's comments indicate, and there
may be others in the anne position,
we have concluded to make a clear
statement in reference to the county
printing. 1t may not be amiss to
state right here that the News and
Cou rier is entirely correct in its sur
mise. The Dispatch is not depend
ent upon that contract, or any other
contract for that matter, for support.
1t enjoys affair advertising patronage;
has a circulation of 1870 bona fde
subscribers and a large job bust
ness. Every opportunity will be
given those interested to satifsy them
selves as to the correctness of this
statement.
When the Dispatch was first es-
tablished the advertising rates were
fixed at Is cents per inch for the
first insertion and SO cents for each
subsequent insertion. These rates
have been maintained until this day,
excepting that period when the law
changed the price from inch to word.
In estimating the price for the print
ing controlled by the County Com
missioners we estimated the work
done for several fiscal years, struck
an average and multiplied it by Is
and so cents respectively and SAC
was the result. For years and with
out opposition, we have been saving
the county money by not charging
full legal rates, which we had a right
to do, because those rates We're higher
than our establised rates. This is Il
plain business statement based on
business principles.
The idea that the Carolina News
saving the taxpayers money by Com
petition with the Dispatch is so alb
surd as to make a sick chicken with
the pip laugh. The Dispatch has at
no time regarded the News as com
petitor; we have never to our knowl-
edge lost a cent by its establishment,
O have we cut one cent on our adver-
Using rates. In fact were it not for
it's visits We would not know it had
existence, so little is it talked about.
The News, like the mountain, only
went into labor, and like the mount
ain, brought forth a mouse.
