THE EIGHT O'CLOCK LAW.
The Maury Democrat Of this wee
- l;4a,;nII,,


The Maury Democrat Of this week,
editoriaily says:
There are numbers Of people in
this town who are sincere and earE-
est in the good cause of temperance
as the dry est, and they take the pc.
sition that the changing of the hour
from ten to eight at this time will
injure the cause, therefore they OPP
pose the change fearing that it will
bring defeat and turn the town over
to the whiskey element at the next
municipal election, who, after get
ting hold, will run things wide open,
so to speak"
The Injunction bill filed by the Ii
quor dealers, contains an allegation
similar to the above. 1t is perhaps
the strongest argument the whiskey
men use. 1t has no principle or
character behino it, but it appeals to
the timid and polite, and they
are a large class.
We have not seen fit to challenge
the statement when made by the Ii
quor dealers themselves, preferring
rather to consider the source and let
it go as campaign talk. We could not
ask the attorneys who put it in their
bill, for the proof; for they would
doubtless reply, 1--WE are not trying
our case through the newspapers. "
But when public journal takes it
up in it's editorial columns and as
serts 1t as fact, we think the pub.
lie has right to the proof.
The HERALD denies, positively and
emphatically, that any considerable
plumbers of people" 50 ncere and
earnest in the good cause of tenn
perance, are opposed to the eight
o'clock law for the reason alleged, or
for any other reason. And we call
upon the Democrat, who has given ed
itorlal utterance to this argument, to
lgive the names of these "sincere and
earnest" friends of temperance who
are opposing this temperance legis-
lation. We want this list, that the
public may see to certainty just
how numerous they are. and also
Judge of their sincerity" and
"earnestness.
If they are at all numerous, we
are entirely ignorant of the fact
We do know that some of the op.
ponents of this law have claimed the
names of some men they are not ia
the slightest degree entitled TO

PUBLIC THANKS TO PUBLIC
SERVANTS.


For and in behalf of the moral,
Christian element of the town of CO.
lumbia, the HERALD wishes to
make public Acknowledgements of the
valuable services rendered last
Thursday night by Aldermen Brown
low, McClanahan, Payne, Nicholson
and Cant.
Each of them we know has the
approval of his own conscience,
which is, after all, the best COM
mendation a man can have for any
thing he does. But in addition to
that they won the enduring graft
tude of the people they are trying to
serve, and the respect and esteem of
all-of whatever difference of opin-
ion-who admire loyalty to princi-
pie and fixedness of purpose.
The monument we had proposed
to erect to the memory of another,
we will erect to the memory of these
true men; and as long as the pages
last upon which they recorded their
votes that night, it will be monu
ment of honor and of glory; one
upon which their children and their
children's children may look with
pride.
The paternity of the law has been
ascribed to Alderman Brownlow
His christian character and daily
walk entitle him to the honor OF
such an offspring. But If he "set
the hen" (as Alderman White ex
presses it, then Aldermen Payne anc
Cant ami Nicholson and McClana
han helped him hatch the egg, anC
are entitled to their need of praise nj
less than he and the credit belong
to them all.
From the first and distant view il
may seem an easy thing to vote TO
and pass a law like this. But you
begin to realize the difficulties one,
you get into the fight.
You ask a lawyer friend to hell
you, by speaking word in favor o
the law; but he replies that he has {
client whose interests would be in
jured.
You ask like favor of your Docto
friend, but he replies that he canno
afford to sacrifice his practice.
You go to your merchant, and h
tells you confidentially that he 1
with you, but for business reason
his lips are sealed.
You press on, and when the figh
gets hot and harder, you discover
much to your surprise and discom
ature, that two of the three paper
in your community are as silent a
the grave. And, to your ute
amazement, though the shot an,
shell of abuse is being hurled a
your head for defending, as you be
tieve, Christian homes and Christia
institutions, from the many pulpit
in your town only one voice is raise
to your relief.
You are threatened to have you
head skinned and your business boy
cotted, and dumbfounded you begi
to inquire where you are "at."
1t is disgrace and shame tina
christian men and women are s,
sinfullv lacking in moral courage
but they are. And it takes a stead
nerve and true grit to make a figh
against odds like these, with s
little encouragement from source
they have right to expect it, whicI
entities the public servants VIII
stand strong and true at such criti
nal hours all the moce to praise ant
gratitude and thanks.
