which are the Unchrisfian Hours

Which are the Unchrisfian Hours
J.C. G.. correspondent of the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian, says:
Leaving Lexington, Va, this morning at
a most unchristian hour-4: Is - bound for
Pittsburg," &c.
Irreverent people have been heard to speak
OF an "ungodly hour" or words to that effect,
but we believe this is the first time that we
have seen the expression paraphrased as
above, by preacher, and sent TO a religious
newspaper for publication.
About Ais. 1t is presumed, the cock crew,
and verified the prediction Of our Saviour as
to Saint Peter.
The trial OF our Saviour, which was begun
In the late hours of the night, was not con-
cluded until after o'clock. Four O'Clock
therefore was one Of the hours which was In
cluded in that sublime event.
It was during the night that the great stone
was rolled away from the tomb, and as the
removal occurred while the guards slept, it is
fair to presume that It took place In the latter
part Of the night or about o'clock.
Mary Magdalene started for the sepulchre
early in the morning, while 1t was yet dark,
not far from o'clock.
1t is fair to presume that 1t was before dawn,
not far from clock. that our Saviour walked
from the tomb.
AS a rule, the earth is wrapped in slumber
at four o'clock. Christians, having confded
their souls to the keeping Of the Lord, are
sweetly and peacefully sleeping under his
watchtulness.
Is it true, then, that "four o'clock" is an
hour?"
Or, was the expression one OF irreverence? :?

Tillman and the Dispensary.

Senator Tillman disclaims any idea that the
dispensary is a 'moral institution" AS far
as We now recollect he never claimed any.
thing for 1t. except that 1t is better than the
old way of dealing with liquor, aud that 1t Is
better than free liquor under the head Of pro.
hibition. Tillman was right at first, and he
Is right now.
Whatever may be the sins and faults Of
Senator Tillman he deserves to be immortal.
lied for his courage and ability in breaking
up the old whiskey business, root and branch.
Good people will stand by the dispensary
plan Of dealing with liquor, and the liquor
men OF the State will have a hard time In
changing the dispensary law.
There is no doubt that the dispensary law,
II properly en- forced, would work hardship
on a number Of foreigners in the city OF
Charleston, whose names we can neither spell
nor pronounce, but notwithstanding this
hardship, South Carolina cannot alter her
laws to suit these foreigners.
II citizens Of South Carolina should 60 to
any foreign country and seek to engage In
the liquor business, 1t is quite probable that
they would conform their conduct to the laws
OF that country. They would hardly ask TO
have the laws changed TO suit their notions,
and they would not likely conspIre with the
whiskey element to defy the laws Of their
adopted country.

Doesn't Understand His Subject.

The Rev. II. w. Williams publishes ser.
mon in the Elberton Star in which he dis.
cusses the subject of dancing, and like
other preachers who talk on this subject,
we believe he Is led into error, and makes
speech which is unfair, and which 'un.
fairness to others may be as sinful on his part
as Is dancing on the part Of others. We are
admonished not to bear false witness against
our nelghbor, and In discussing the subject Of
dancing, and in describing It's effects upon
others 1t is we'll not to suggest the idea that
the preacher may be unintentionally vioat-
ing The Ninth Commandment.
A learned divine not 30 long ago, gave voice
to the opinion that dancing was a symptom,
and not q cause Of ungodliness. When his
church members danced, instead Of defaming
them and making ugly charges against them
as to immortality, he sought to inspire them
different life, and to impress upon them a
higher conviction OF religious duty.
II young people are imbued with their re-
ligious duty, and their souls are filled with
love of the good and the true, no fears are to
be entertained OF them. They may be trusted.
But whether young people dance or not 1t Is
not becoming men in any walk OF life to
defame them by insinuation or inuendo. In
stead Of driving them to the bad, effort should
be made to bring them closer to the foot Of
the Cross. II the preacher conceives course
Of action to be at variance with his own con-
ceived notions OF propriety, he may wrestle
with the brethren and seek to change their
ways, but under no circumstances is he war
ranted In attempting to tarnish their reputa-
ton for virtue and purity.
The course which the average preacher per-
sues in attacking the moral character Of young
people is totally at variance with the practice
Of our Great E1emplar, and in all countries
the man who casts slur or doubt upon the
virtue of woman deserves the same regard
from the public mind, whether that sssailant
be the sanctifled occupant Of the pulpit or
the common vulgarian who, from the street
corners, emits his poison and slime to the
gaping crowd.

Exempttng Factories.

The city OF Laurens had an election last
week on the question of the flve-year exemp.
tion from town taxes Of manufacturing en-
terprIses. The election was carried In favor
OF the exemption by very small majority
and it will be special wonder If that large
minority Of voters cannot pick q flaw In the
election, when new factories will fail to re-
ceive the benefit Of the exemption.
Public spirited citizens who contemplate
as individuals, or as organized companies, the
establishment Of new enterprises should
make a note of the hostility that exists In
the town OF Laurens.
To Offset the enmity or Jealousy that may
exist towards manufacturing enterprises
such institutions should be located beyond
the corporate limits Of any town. AS a rule,
the new factories are built where the town
authorities have no power to annoy the mill
people, or to interfere with them in any way.
One great trouble exists where such insti-
tutions may be located on spot OF ground
which Is inaccessible to any, except to a sin.
gle railroad. The railroads generally come
together in town, and If one railroad Is dis
posed to be disobliging, other roads may come
to the rescue. For instance: The Seaboard
Air Line Railway, by certain liberal prom
ise, induced the Abbeville Cotton Mill to To-
cate on Its line. That railroad after quibbling
and delaying for long time finally paid ev.
cry cent that they had promised. But when
the Cotton Mill refused to sign that road a
fright OF way" for their track which included
q large part of the mill house.
When the mill refused to grant property
rights to the Seaboard, and when that insti-
tuition thought 1t was impossible for the cot.
ton mill to get q track to the Southern, the
Seaboard, without exchanging a word with
the President OF the mill, tore up the sidetrack.
and Mr.. 81. John In response to letter which
was couched In the most respectful language,
sent a discourteous reply by the telegraph
operator, who refused to give copy Of the
message. Later, when 1t was possibly learned
that negotiations with the Southern might
give the cotton mill a track, the agents OF
the company put the side track back.
We recite this circumstance to put mill cor
porations on notice Of our experience. Our
experience leads as to believe that 1t is dan
gerous to be placed in the power OF single
road.
Where factories can be located on grounds
that would be accessible to two roads, we
think there can be no doubt Of the advantage
of locating on one Of them beyond the cor
porate limits Of the town. We say this with
out reference to the Abbeville Cotton Mill.
That mill has no cause Of complaint because
Of officious interference by the council, and
the people have been friendly.
Abbeville may some day lave another cot
ton mill, or other manufacturing enterprise,
and If such institution should come it is
possible that the citizens would like to get a
whack at It in the way of taxation-it it is
not located beyond the borders Of the town.

Didn't RESIGN.

Some two weeks ago, a preacher In Atlanta
was struck by spasm of virtue, and started
hue and cry against the Mayor Of the city
whom he charged with drunkenness. The
city council caught the preachers inspiration,
and attempted to force the Mayor to resign.
After some delay, the Mayor submitted a
written statement In which he said that he
would not resign, but promised that bis "in.
discretions should cease" II he proved
weak again be would resign. In the first
statement the Mayor was right. In the pro.
mise 10 resign he erred. The promise was not
necessary. and, 1t was, therefore foolish.
The preacher who led the assault on him
might now afford to 60 out Of politics. and let
the city government alone. If he keeps his
own flock In the straight and narrow way he
will probably have on his hands a task which
will require his whole time and energy. In
case he has spare time on his hands after
keeping his own congregation In the paths OF
virtue, they would no doubt excuse him for
a season to go picnicing.

Yellow Fever Germs Attack Union
Soldiers, but Pass the Confederate
Soldier.

yellow Fever Germs Attack Union
Soldiers, but Pass the Confederate
Soldier.
Our respected contemporary, the Barnwell
People, relates the circumstances by which
yellow fever reached "The Soldiers Home,' -
near Norfolk. That newspaper attributes the
afniction on the "Soldiers Home." to the fact
OF the war with Spain, or because Of our ao-
qusi,ion OF territory In the tropics.
flour memory serves correctly yellow fever
has been coming to the United States for
many years.
But 1t may be that the yellow fever germs
are enraged at the recent action Of the United
States in trying to expel them from Cuba, and
would visit vengeance on the Union soldiers
for participating in the effort to e1terminate
their race:
First-Because the United States soldiers
expelled the Spaniards from the island.
second-Because the United States is expell.
ing yellow fever germs from Cuba.
Seeing the United States Is the active
enemy OF both Spain and the yellow fever,
is 1t any wonder that the germs should
strike a. the soldiers OF the United States ?
II the United States should clear Cuba Of the
yellow fever germs, even as 1t has expelled
Spanish soldiers from the island the yellow
fever germs would be homeless In this part
OF the globe.
1t Is barely possibly that the yellow fever
germs OF Cuba have not forgotten the histori-
cal fact that General Butler destroyed all OF
their kindred in New Orleans thirty.six years
ago. and that they have not since then been
allowed lodgment in what was once their
home, and the sickliest city on the continent.
We are not at all surprised that the yellow
fever germs struck at the Union soldiers, and
We recognize in them the power OF discrimi.
nation between Confederate soldiers and
Union soldiers. AS yet the yellow fever
germs have been respectful to the Confederate
soldier, and have done him no harm.
We can't expect to 60 into two wars, and
realize no loss in either. In the general chap
ter Of accidents, We can reasonably expect the
Spaniards and the yellow fever germs to get
an inning now and then.
