Turning Oh Him.

Since MIR. Featherstone has turned local
optionist. and is now catering for the support
OF the barroom advocates, the prohibitiontsts
will likely seek new leader. tits not within
the power OF Mr.. FeathSrstone or any one to
carry the temperance people OF this State
into the liquor camps.
The fact is, since the developments we are
more than ever convinced that the people OF
South Carolina should be careful how they
follow the lead of the people of Columbia
The effort to have Governor Ellerbe betray
the dispensary people, and the performance
Of Mr.. Featherstone in getting the liquor sup
port is enough to put the people on their
guard. Mr.. Featherstone no longer has a
right to assume the leadship Of the temper
ance people, After he goes into the camp OF
the enemy he is something else than leader,
and we are glad to see that the prohibitionists
have repudiated his leadership.
The editor of this newspaper has been a
Temperance man all his life, and no opportu-
nifty has ever passed for him 10 strike blow
against the liquor traffic. We are standing
today where we have stood for fifty years,
that is, we have been an earnest advocate OF
temperance and active enemy to the traffic In
LIQUOR. Having gained absolute prohibfaon
for at least twelve hours out of every twenty.
four, we are not going to yield one particle Of
advantage.
AS for the evil Of the licensed saloon, we are
ready to speak. License is license-no mat
ter whether high or low-and men who drink
liquor never enquire about the price Of license.
They get just as drunk on high licensed
liquor as on low licensed LIQUOR. If any diff
ference, they get drunken on the high licensed
liquor because the temptation to tamper With
the stuff is greater.
II men honestly advocate the curtallments
of the liquor business. let them join other
temperance men in supporting the real ad.
vantage which VIC have gained-an advantage
which the liquor men are striving TO take
from us.
While we cannot but pity the ignorance Of
the man who sees no good in the restrictions
which are placed around the sale OF liquor by
the oispensary, yet we confess that we have
less respect for the intelligence or honesty o +
the prohibitioulst who would join the liquor
ranks to break down the barriers which have
been established against the LIQUOR traffic.

EniOying Life,

Happy is the man who enjoys scat
tering sunshine and flowers along the
pathway of life and who with gentle
hand is all the time sowing .harvests
that are reaped in joy by those who
shall come after them. There is not
much in life except the good-that we
NAV accomplish. Riches are unsatis-
flying, fame means little. The other
day we read an estimate of Peter
Cooper's character by one who did not
believe in his economic theories. But
dismissing these as of little impor-
tance, the writer pronounced Peter
Cooper to have been one of the grand
est characters that had ever lived.
His love for kind, his practical interest
in society and his work for the elevation
of man have made his name immortal.
He is remembered for his goodness
and not for his welth. The Goulds
and Vanderbilts are remembered for
their wealth and accumulation, and in
time will be practically forgotten.
Few of us can hope for immortal
fame. One by one we drop out of life,
a few teass are shed over our casket,
time assuages the grief of the mourner,
the flowers fade upon the tomb, and
except that the good we do lives on, we
cease in time to be even memory.
In the mystery beyond we are weav-
ing the mystery of new life. and dill
that the former life can be in this new
weaving is the remembrance Of the
benefit we were in the world. Many
are the rough places we tread from the
cradle to the grave; many are the
sighs and tears, discouragements, but
we can extract joy from the most des-
ert places on-the way and amidst the
most piercing heartaches, by the
thouz bit that we have made others hap
py and that there is perpetual morning
only little way off. Folly, enexpressi-
BILE folly, is an absorbing love for any Of
the chief perishable objects of human
love. At every step of the way we
travel let us gather all the flowers that
bloom and revel amidst all the beauty
there is, but never forgetting that the
sweetest and best happiness that can
possibly thrill the soul is that which
comes from consciousness of loving
and being loved; and we can neither
live or be loved unless we are willing to
live for others.

many of them, and represented all ma
tionalities. From the smallest man in
town to the heaviest and largest
framed giant came applications. The
boards selection viii meet with the
appreciation Of local citizens in gen
eral.
Messrs. William Hyland and Gilbert
Osborne, who did patrol duty on the
capacity as night Watchmen, are we'll
known in this vicinity.
The photographs of these officers,
which are here produced, were taken
expressly for The Spy by Photographer
Ross, and are excellent likenesses.
William Hyland has been on the
force the longest, having served as
night patrolman in town for the past
six years.
He was born in county Tipperary,
Ireland in 1S43. He came to America
July 2, 1862, where he witnessed for the
first time young America celebrate the
Fourth. He came at once to Webster,
where he secured employment in the
Slater mills.
June s, 1854, he showed his patriotism
by enlisting from Boston in the United
States navy, and remaining in the ser
vice until the war was over, when he
was discharged at the Washington ma.
Wy yard with proud record.
He returned to Webster and on Feb.
II, 1866 was welded to Miss Johanna
Meagher, and has since happily re-
sided in town.
For a period of q years Mr.. Hyland
worked for Josiah Perry IN the Perry

peries were hung, completely obscuring
the inside view. When one had passed
these portals he looked upon a scene
such as has not been seen in the old
hall for many years.
Streamers Of red, white and blue We're
strung from the centre of the ceiling
to the corners and sides of the
hall, and in the centre was a large
shield, bearing the letters K. of c.,
standing for Knight of Columbus. The
windows We're draped with lace cur
tains, and on the wall between the
windows We're hung mirrors, which
added greatly to the occasion. At the
head of the hall KnOwltOn and Aliens
orchestra of Natick were seated behind
bank of palms, potted plants and
ferns.
Directly back of the orchestra was
the state shield, consisting of the pic
ture of an Indian chief, and surround
ing the shield was the following in
scrlption: "Ense Petit Placidam Sub
Libertate Quietem." This shield with
its beautiful cOlors made an excellent
background. At the foot of the hall
pictures of John Boyle O'Reilly, from
whom the order was named, were dis
played. AT each side of the stage ele-
CANT booths were set up, at which re-
freshments We're served from 10 to 70
