Prohibition DictatiOn.

Mr.. L. Tribble, OF Anderson, Is mighty
good man in many respects, but his forte
would seem to lie elsewhere than IN
writing prohibition screeds for the news.
papers. Viewed as a whole the angles ana
idiosycransIes of his writings remind us ol
the tracines of q crazy quilt, the architecture
Of which sxcels in jumbles ana surprises.
1--we are not m isin formed Mr.. Tribble was
once mayor of the city OF Anderson. DE
then. Il is said, had the liquor men as mad as
wet hens. They despised his prohibition
principles at that time.
We learn that the liquor men Of Anderson
are now greatly In love with MIR. Trlbble and
his prohibition principles.
What has brought about the change? Has
Mr.. Tribble embraced different kind OF pro-
hibition from that which he formerly es
poused9 If not. why are so many temperance
people standing aloof from him while the
liquor men OF Anderson, 30 to speak. are
rushing to his arms, and sleeping serenely
In bis bosom.
It would indeed be funny thing to see the
liquor men OF Anderson marching TO the polls
under the leadership OF Mr.. Tribble.
II Mr.. Tribble could lead the whiskey men
and the temperance men as triumphantly az
he led our people into the colossal and monu-
mental trap, the Black Dlamoud Railroad, he
would immortalIze himself. For fifteen
years this town has been anxious to get q tax
on the corporation for the benefit VI the Gum
berand Gap road, now renamed the Black
Diamond. 1t remained for Mr.. Tribble to &c,
the desired burden on our shoulders.

Erskine College.

We have received a copy Of the current
catalogue of Erskine College, OF which Frank
Young Pressly, D. D Is President From the
catalogue we make the following extracts:
Erskipe College is the property OF the Asso.
cIate Reformed Synod OF the South: IL was
founned and organized In the year lSS9. The
frs, President was Rev. E. +. Pressly, ID. p,
with the following corps OF Professors: Mr.
N. NJ. Gordon, Rev J. N. Young, and Rev. y;
P. Pressly, D. D. As the patronage and
means Of the College Increased, addltlonai
professors were employed until the plans ol
1889 were fully met. 1t has had the following
Presidents: Rev. e. E. Pressly. D. D.. Rev;
r. c. Grier, D. D., (two terms, 1S41 to 1858 and
1866 to lS7l), Rev. E. L. Patton. L. L. D., Rev
w. NJ. Grisr, D. D., Rev. F. Y. Pressly, ID. ID.
The first Faculties were drawn mostly from
Northern Colleges, such as Jefferson, Pa., ant
Mama Universlty, Ohio. In later years they
have been taken from graduates OF colleges IN
the South-such as the University OF Georgia,
South Carolina College, and Erskine College;
Several Of them have taken courses OF speclal
study in Yale, John Hopkins Universlty,
Princeton. Amherst, etc.
The course OF instruction is believed 10 pe
as through and full as the ordinary purposes
of an education require, or as the time usual
Iy devoted to college course will permit IL 10
While 1t is true that, like most denomina.
tional colleges, Erskine is the chi Id OF haro
struggles yet she has now attained such age
and growth as place her future beyond u
dangers Of ordinary contingencies.

The Sunny slope Picnic.

The morning OF the 97th inst, was quite q
gloomy looking morning for the annual Pic
mic at Sunny Slope. Notwithstanding the
early showers OF rain, crowds came from all
directions. By IL o'clock a large company

The "UnhOly Alliance"

The letter Of Hon. B. r. Tillman to Rev. j.
o. Wilson, editor of the Southern Christian
Advocate, will be read with interest.
Speaking from the best information that we
have, very large percent of the preachers Of
this section have not only not made an IN.
holy alliance, but they are not going to vote
the prohibition ticket. We have not the
slightest doubt that effort was made to induce
some OF the preachers in this town to attend
and give oountenance TO the proposed politi.
cal prohibition meeting which was to be held
here, but none of them agreed to be drawn
into politics and no preacher at this place
consented to attend such a meeting. From
the lights before us, the preachers OF this
county are not intermeddlipg with politics
and those preachers who know of the whole
some restraints OF the dispepsary are not
going TO vote to do away with the present re.
strictions which are imposed upon the traffic
in liquor.
We know that Senator Tillman did not in.
tend TO give offense to the preachers as a
class. His remarks were not applicable to
them and We know that he would not willingly
wound the whole for the acts of few.
Senator Tillman owes 1t to himself and to
the preachers Of this State, to revise his
sweeping charge against the preachers as a
class. His remarks apply only to those who
have gone into politics. There was and is
no ground for the offensive charge against a
very large majority of the preachers. While
we believe there is abundant proof, that there
was ground for his charge OF "unholy alli-
ahce," as far as few are concerned, yet there
is no proof that the charge properly lies at the
door Of perhaps four.hfths OF the preachers of
the State.
Senator Tillman inflicted great pain upon
some ministers whose conduct has been ire
proachable and whose fidelity to the dis
pensary Is scarcely less jealous than his own.

Prohibition Leaders.

We see Mr.. Featherstone credited with the
assertion that the prohibitionists are going TO
make an effort to get q representative in the
Legislature from every County.
If carried out openly and above board the
effort ia praiseworthy. But the people
should make no mistake. In this County.
the prohibition vote would no doubt be 80
small that no man would be foolish enough
to make the race on that Issue.
AS we do not believe that any candidate fol-
the Legislature would take the place under q
misapprehension, 1t might be we'll for the
capdidates to make plain statements as TO
how they stand-whether they favor the dis
pensary or prohibition.

Should Not Take Part.

We notice that the Spartanburg Herald and
other newspapers who are opposed to the
dispensary object 10 Senator Tillman taking
part in the campaign disussion Of the dispen.
sary.
AS far as the dispensary is concerned. there
is no need Of Senator Tlllman's activity In
behalf OF his pet scheme. The people have
accepted the dispensary as the solution OF
the liquor traffic in South Carolina. and II
his discussion Of the subject is objected to by
anybody, 1t might be we'll for Mr.. Tillman to
let the matter rest. The dispensary Is not In
the slightest danger. No combination Of men
or circumstances could overthrow the law
and Mr.. Tillman may rest satisfied as to the
result.

Chester Lantern.
The names are changed in the above para
graph, but the "Mr. and Mrs" are correctly
reprinted. The Chester Lantern is edited by
a scholar, and we would like to ask his reason
for inserting the "and Mrs." The presump-
tion in this country is that a gentleman's
children are born to him by his wife We
know Of but one instance in this county
where 1t would be we'll to note who Ia the
mother of the fathers children. OF course
there may be instances in Chester where 1t
would be we'll to state whether q mans child
was born at home. but we presume that such
instances are rare.

Division of Sentiment.

We have people In this Town who believe
Hon. +. B. Gary will be elected Governor.
Others believe that Colonel Hoyt will be
elected. Some seem TO think that Senator
Tillmans interference In behalf OF the dis
penssry will bring about this result.
And there are others who believe Cover
nor McSweeney will be elected.
The Press and Banner reserves It's conjec'
lures for. the simple reason that we know
very little about IT, Any OF the candidates
would make good governor, and we have
little to gain or lose any way.

a first class chance to elect good man to the
House of Representatives in the person OF

hard to find, and II Charleston has just ap-

never lived. He's honest; that's certain.
