NO SECTIONAL LINES.

How beautiful it is to live together
in peace and unity! How delight
full it is for the South to feel once
more that we are indeed and in
truth part of this common country.
That we are no longer suspected as
traitors or looked down upon as
bushwhackers, as we once were.
What a relief to have the load of the
siEs of our rebellion lifted from our
shoulders! What a comfort to know
that our political and sectional sins
have all been forgiven us, and that
the President of the United States is
the President of all the states; that
he is oar President, and sympa-
thizes with US and counts upon us.
We quote from his last inaugural
address these inspiring words from
our President:
"Strong hearts and helpful hands
are needed, and, fortunately, we
have them in every part of our be-
loved country. We are reunited.
Sectionalism has disappeared.
Division on public questions can
no longer be traced by the war maps
of 1861. These old differences less
and less disturb the judgment.
Existing problems demand the
thought ana quicken the conscience
of the country, and the responsibility
| for their presence as well as for their
righteous settlement rest upon us all
no more upon me than upon you ="
And not only does our President
sound these patriotic and statesman
like sentences, but as good fortune
would have it, before the ink is cold
upon his inaugural address be has a
test of his sincerity, an opportunity
to prove himself and prove his
words.
And here is how he does it. The
bill to filcn from the pockets OF the
people five millions of dollars for the
so-called St. Louis Worlds Fair, re-
cei~eg his signature. While another
bill of a like purpose, though asking
for only one-twentieth as much, for

WILL ASK FOR TEMPERANCE
LEGISLATION.

The temperance men of the state
are organizing to make another eff
fort before this legislature to secure
some sort Of legislation favorable to
their cause; and meeting will be
held in Nashville the first of next
week, for conference, and to agree
upon the plan of procedure and what
sort of Legislation to ask for.
Columbia wants to be represented
at this conference in Nashville and
to take part in the effort that will be
made before the legislature; and for
that purpose a few of the temperance
advocates met in the session room
of the First Presbyterian church
Monday night to discuss the sit
uation. About 30 were present. Capt.
RUSSELL was called to the chair. TIE
discussion was informal and gem
eral, the consensus of opinion being
that local dispensary law, as was
outlined and discussed in the HER
AID last week, was perhaps the most
feasible one that could be suggested
with the hope of passage. A COM
mittee was appointed, therefore, to
draw resolutions expressing the
sense of the meeting as favorable to
a local dispensaiy law, and to ap-
point committee to present these
resolutions at the Nashville confer
ence and urge the adoption of some
such law.
The Chairman, Capt. Russell,
Rev, A. P. McFerrin, Mr.. John Trot-
wood Moore and Mr. F. D. Lander,
constitute this committee on resolu-
tions, and the larger committee to
go to Nashville, will be appointed
in the next day or two.
The time is now ripe for action. In
the few days ahead of US we cannot
waste time on education or details
we must not content ourselves with
loud declatming, either as to the
virtues of temperance or the evils OF
irtemperance, but We must go to
work to help do something. There
will never be a time when busy men
have thing to do. There is never
a convenient time for man to quiz
his business. He must alw Us do il
at some sacrifice. But there comes
times when it is the duty of every
man to make whatever sacrifice, tC
give his time and Influence for day
or two to righteous cause. If the
real friends of temperance will be
come real earnest in their frie ndship
there is no telling what good may bt

THE L. g. N. ON ITS EAR.

OUR esteemed contemporary the
MauTy Democrat, whose facilities for
getting hold of railroad news are bet
ter than ours, scoops the HERALD on
the important information that the
l.. Il N Railroad Co. will simply do
over their old shack and not build
any new depot at Columbia at all,
at all. They will spend the munifi
cent sum of 81 900, which they think
will squeeze them inside the law,
and not another thing will! they do
for the blasted old town that indicts
them. Since they would not do even
that much for the town before the
/ indictment, we are just that much
the net gamer by the Indictment.
/ No one ever expected the Railroad
! Company to spend dollar more
than they had to. That is not the
/ policy of the l.. q n. The aesthetic
! does not appeal to them. They do
not worship at the Snrine of the
beautiful Architectural beauty
and flower gardens surrounding
their stations have no charms for
them. They are only out for the
stuff, and all there is of it. They do
OF iutend to and never did intend
to build new depot at Columbia,
until their growing business aud The
demands Of the law compel them to.
If court indictments and public
opinion can force them to comply
with the law, that is all any OBJ
servant, thoughtful citizen ever
reasonably hoped for. Indictments,
however, are not the only legal re-
course the public has. They can be
mandamused and compelled to do
what the law requires of them.
Individuals are indicted for infrac-
tions of the law; why not corpora
tions? What right has the L. & N.
Railroad Company to raise its
bristles and snarl and threaten this
community, because, forsooth. out
ragged patience calls upon them to
obey the law! And yet there are
those who at their first frown,
cry for peace and want the courts
to make terms with them. No
wonder corporations ride rough
snod over the rights of the people.
No wonder they are arrogant, I'M
reasonable and eXorbitant. No
wonder they ignore and trample and
|, abuse the law, when there are those
in every community to quail at their
first show of resentment and call
upon the courts to make peace with
them. Think of il; the courts to
make peace with self-confessed law
breakers! That's a nice come off.
Arrest the individual; fine, imprison
; or hang him. But the word COR
PORATION must be wr'Gten In big
box letter type and the courtS-even
the courts of the country--must make
peace with them, and keep on terms
with them. Well, every man to his
opinion; but that is not the opinion

fear that any such twaddle will in.
