Baptists, Methodists and Whiskey,

In the recent Baptist convon-
ticn at Sumter the dlspensary
came in for share of discussion |
in connection With the report cf
the committee on temperance
that report, in the language Of
The Baptist Courier, having "criti-
cized the dispensary system"
Several ministers and at least one
!ayman spoke to the report, en-
dorsing it's "criticisms" Of thc
dispensary system, although one
of the ministers is quoted as say
ing that while "the Baptist min
istry Of the State is not lukswarm
on this matter" yet "the"e Is al
practical difficulty in connection
with this question in the conven-
tlon' and "the subject is pre-
sented in such u way that some
do not want to vote for it, though
they a'e IN sympathy with the
purpose proposed. Neverthe
loss tho report was adopted. We
are sorry we have it not in full.
1t is presumed that the "prac-
tical officially in connection with
this question in the convention
is that "this question" is regarded
as a "political issue with which
u religious body has nothing to
do. 1t may be well to note in
passing that if the disponsary is
"political issue it has been made
such by its originators, supporters
and conductors and not by those
who have opposed it on economic
or moral grounds, or both. And
it may be further observed that
even political question in which
moral consideration is involved
is competent subject for the
consideration of any organization
OF religious workers. However,
let us 60 back to tho point Of pres
ent Importance,
The "question" came up in an
other form in the Methodist con
ference at Greenvllle a few DAYS
ago. "The report of the commits
tee on temperance, made by Char
man j. w. Hamel, brought forth
question of considerable inter-
est, says one account. "Mr.
Hamel asked for Bishop Smiths |
opinion as to whether the clause
in the church discipline forbid
ding members of the church to
deal IN liquor applied to the DIS
pensary law, and if dispensers
were exempt because they were
officers Of the law. The bishop
said he could not givo ruling,
expect with specific case before
him, but it was his personal opin-
ion that members of.the Methodist
church could not become dispen.
ssrs without violating the church
discipline"
Presuming that Bishop Smiths
ruling is correct--that it would bo
sustained by the conference and
concurred in by any other bishop Of
the Methodist church why is not
any citizen of South Carolina who
belongs to the Methodist church
not amendable to the same ruling!
Tho dispensers do not sell whiskey
On their own account. They are
merely tho agents of the common
wealth, which for the purpose of
selling whiskey has formed, itself,
as 1T were, into corporation in
which every citizen is stock
holder, having an equal voice
with every other citizen in the
conduct of the business. 1t Is

To the Editor Of the Press F;

To the Editor Of the Press;
Kindly allow me to bring a matter
of general interest to the attention
of all your readers in Milford who
are lovers of good music
In the belief that the establish
meut Of Choral Society in Milford,
III it can be accomplished, will be a
source of much benefit to our church
choirs and to our town, an effort
will probably be made to that end
this season. And in anticipation of
this effort Mr.. N. Coe Stewart,
for many years Director of Music in
the schools of Cleveland, o., will
visit Milford on Friday evening,
October 9th, to meet all who can
sing or who want TO learn to sing.
We desire therefore TO have it
known that all who care for music,
whether they can sing or not, are
invited to meet Mr.. Stewart in the
parlor of the Presbyterian church,
at o'clock, on that evening. On
that occasion an exhibition will be
given of the methods of instruction
in the reading of music which Mr..
Stewart employs, and steps will
perhaps be taken toward the orga-
nization of Milford Choral Society
for the coming season. It is desired
that every person who is interested
in music will consider himself or
herself personally invited to be
present, on Friday, October 9Th.
1 may add that it is upon the
recommendation of Mr.. Frank Dam
rosch of New York that Mr.. Stewart
has been consulted and invited to
visit Milford for this purpose.
