ANOTHER GOOD WOMAN
ENDORSES INEBRIATE ASYLUM

To the Editor of The Journal:
In yesterdays Journal I read the letter
of Mrs. Callie Ellis, of Jesup, in refer
ence to the esta blishment of an ineoriate
asylum, and do not agree with her. II
she was the mother of beautiful son,
who from heredity or association had
succumbed to the drink habit. would she
be willing to make drunkenness crime,
and hire her boy TO the state? In ner
own words we viii say "a thousand times
no." There Is not a true mother under
heaven who would echo the sentiments OF
Mrs. Ellis. and If this dreadful afhiction
was brought home to her own heart and
life. she would be a very unnatural moth
er, indeed, to desire to have her boy sent
to the penitentiary or changing. to come
out at last from the daily association OF
hardened criminals, lowered in his NOR
ais and Inundated to such an extent, that
he could never aspire TO associate with
his former friends and acquaintances;
she is not like mother in our city who
was widow with an only son. He was
the JOY and pride Of her heart, and on
him she could lean for support and COM
fort in his beautiful young manhood, but
one Saturday night not many months ago
when he was returning home with his
wages in his pocket, he was hailed
by some of his friends who over-persua-
ded him TO go to an entertainment OF
very prominent and popular military COM
pany, and in the course of the evening
so-called sole drinks were INDUCED in;
before tasting however. he inquired re-
peatedly If there was anything intoxica-
ting in the beverage; and on being assured
there was not, he drank freely and on
reaching his home at late hour he fell
in the yard dog drunk with his half
months wages gone. II this boy had con-
tInued drinking. lets say to Mrs. Ellis.
put yourself in his heart-broken mothers
place and methinks she would be willing
(as this mother isl. to make any sacrifice
to help stablish an inebriate asylum for
the purpose Of not only redeeming her
own boy. but the others mothers fallen
boys all over the state. According TO my
idea Of getting rid OF the cause Of
drunkenness, I think the saloons would
soon have to go out of business. II every
minister of the gospel. and every doctor
in our state would start crusade against
liquor, there would not be any new
drunkards coming on each year, and we
would only need the asylum to cure the
old drunkards that are now on hand and
1 am quite sure they would get all the
help from the good Christian men and
women, that they desire. but until that
time comes, let's have the sanitarium and
seek. with the charity that sufrereth long
and is kind TO save our fallen brother.

SOUTH cARoLINIAN WANTS
FARMERS TO COMBINE
ROCK HILL, S. c., A,

ROCK HILL, s. C., ADril IL 1sOz
To the Editor of The Journal:
Hon. Harvie Jordan's timely article on
Combination OF Interests in The Journal
of the 3rd instant, should have wide pub
licity. 1t shows up the present situation
exactly and should be read by everyone
who is interested in the welfare of the
south This work OF organization should,
be commenced at once in every township,
and should get as close to the people as
possible. The condition of the southern
farmer can be very greatly improved by
such an organization as he intimates. pro-
vided the politicians are kept in the rear,
and the influential planter takes the lead.
The thoughtless will Immediately object
scornfully that such enterprise is doomed
to defeat, because so many like efforts
have been failures, but such articles. con-
tinually kept before the farming classes,
will put them to thinking and tend to-
ward educating them up to the possibili-
ties. Now is the time to start this move.
and plan should be prepared that viii
commend itself to the leading men in that
business. And II seems to me that Mr..
Jordan Is the proper party to outline a
scheme for organizing, and the combina-
tons in other lines of work certainly af-
ford strong incentive as well as object

The ordinary young Frenchman of

ordinary duties-and no ideals, goes in
for spending his money on lovely la
dies, who give him his congo as soon as
he has nothing left to spend. Then

frontery which has at least the merit of
being in no way hypocritical read
in the papers of a few days ago the an
nouncement Of the marriage of a we'll
known young French nobleman with

nouncement-which was a particularly

what trouble the young man had expe-

many wits had been set to work in
search of one. He is a-well, let US say

attempts to marry heiresses that were
quite comic.
One of his prospective brides was an
American girl of IL, whose parents are
fabulously rich and spend a considera-
BILE portion of their time in Paris. They
are simple people. who have not been
long enough in Europe to realize the
difference between one title and anoth-
er title, one set and another set, and
they had yet to learn some few months
ago that a young French nobleman in
pecuniary difficulties does not pay his
addresses to a rich young American girl

welcomed our young friend in much the
same hearty and unembarrassed man

Avoid Violent Exercise.

Teddy Roosevelt's sick spell and the
suspension Of Groton school because of
an epidemic OF pneumonis have brought
forward a number of stories as basic
cause for the epidemic.
1t is said by some that the boys ran
for hours bareheaded with the thermome-
ter at a depressed figure. and getting ex-
tremely moist with Precipitation took vio-
let cold with serious results.
Others say the boys gave Teddy a
ducking In cold icy pond because Prince
Henry was ducked when he was initiated
into some school or society.
Again II Is told that the boys INDUCED
in Violent gymnastic exercise and then
race around across the halls and .draughty
passages in the building thinly clad. All
the stories are connected in some way or
other with violent exercise in and about
the school grounds.
Some children may stand such tough
methods. but great many will be fatally
injured. and till~another story goes that
little" Teddy has contracted spinal dis
ease by inordinate love OF violent running
leaping. ducking. etc.
II would seem that some schools and
colleges have literally gone made on ath-
letics.
BasebalIists. footbaIIlsts. bicycle racing,
boxers and lot of.other doings Chat now
escape my mind). are filling modern COL
leges with a class of students who attend
because they can have a good time in ath-
letics. not because Of study.
Education used to stand for application
TO books.
In these days II means so many other
things that cannot hunt them all up to
tell you about them.
But there should be a limit on such
rabld and violent exercise as we suspect
made the Groton school popular enough
TO capture the son OF the president as
pupil.
BY the way. the president himself has
likely been trained to rough-ride, hunt
and indulge in violent sports.
Doubtless the little boy inherits a taste
for IL very legitimately. but the human
frame is a very delicate and intricate
machine that needs as much care as IL
does exercise. ~
If that young lad was ducked TO be
treated like Prince Henry the whole bust
ness becomes ludicrous as we'll as dan
gerous. The idea of duclxing the boy in
an icy pond in zero weather is preposter-

WHAT WILL WE HAVE
AFTER THE WHIPPING POST7

To the Editor Of The Journal:
In recent issue a correspondent, who
signs Subscriber" advocates a rehabil-
itated whipping post. not so much for the.
benefit Of public morals as to provide
scarecrow for the idle negroes who infest
the city and render life and property in
secure.
We all recognize the magnitude OF the
evil and agree that there should be a
remedy provided, but is the whipping post
in any sense educative, reformative or
permanent as a deterrent to crime7
Your correspondent has failed to touch
the heart OF the question. and Is contert
10 touch only the surface.
A degrading penalty is harmful not only
to the recipient but 1t tends to degrade
those who apply, those who witness and
those who advocate. DO not shirk the re-
sponsibility resting upon you. ITO whom
much is given from him much viii be re-
CURED, and we who have the vantage
ground win be guilty Of a crime II we
consent to resort to brutal methods in
dealing with these derelicts who have
never known wisdom's ways and who are
not likely to acquire any valuable lesson
through the brutalizing influence OF q pub
lie or private pillory or whipping post.
There is a nobler path in which we need
to tread II we would move forward and
not back.

FRENCH HUNT FOR HEIRESSES

on to an advantageous marriage, and
they were made much of by ladies who
are not prodigal of the smiles they give
to foreigners, did they suspect any
thing. Then came the denouement. The
formal demand in marriage was made,
and refused, and the young Duchesses
and Countesses showed what an excel
lent bringing up they had received by
falling to appear at a dinner given the
next night, and for which they had all
accepted. Moreover, the young man
went and told everybody that he had
not proposed, because he and his friends
had finally decided that the little girl in
question had not the prestige which
would be required in a Marquise.
The other matrimonial adventure was
of an even more entertaining sort. The
young man was informed one day that
there was an enormously wealthy heir
ess in Vienna who was not yet engaged,
and before nightfall he had engaged his
berth on the Orient express for the
following evening. But when he arrived
at the station he found another friend
awaiting him with the information that
the young lady was all that she had
been represented to be, but that there
was a difficulty in the way of his nupr
tails with her. She was but IL years of
age. But, after all, the man who looks
upon marriage as career does not ex-
ist in France alone. 1 met lately in the
South an Englishman Of good birth,
good looks and who is received by ev-
erybody, and particularly petted by the
fair sex. He married a woman old
enough to be his mother, had his debts
paid and an allowance made to him,
and now goes about saying that al
though his wife is dear, he cannot
possibly live with her, as he hates old
women. Now, curiously enough, al
though a man may hunt heiresses with
impunity in France, in this country
man who in such circumstances ex-
pressed himself in such manner would
not be very long in becoming a social
parian. Indeed, 1 doubt very much
whether the very fact of man having
made such a marriage at all would
not put him outside of the pale of So
ciety. "Austres pays. autres boeurs."
