The Citizens of Columbia Re-
spending to Calls for
Money.

The Herald is glad to note that the
local base ball management are makins
an effort to meet the deficit in the
players salaries and that they are
meeting with some success. 1t Is not
a pleasant task for them, but they
realize the obligation which rests on
them and on the citizens of Columbia
to see that the boys receive what they
have earned. There is still a lot of
hard work ahead. and we understand
that few public spirited citizens, in
addition TO contributing money, have
volunteered to give their time toward
raking up the amount required. The
season ends today and special effort
will be made to get the players out of
town without unnecessary delay.

Ladies Occupied the Bowling Alley
Yesterday Afternoon.

Quite a number of ladies took adj
vantage of the opportunity to bowl
without spectators Thursday after
noon, when the Coliseum Bowling
Alley began it's custom of holding all
alleys exclusively for ladies Thurs
day and Tuesday afternoons. There
will probably be a great many more
next Tuesday afternoon, as some ot
the ladies prefer to bowl when Ia
dies only are present, although there
are ladies bowling every aiternoon
at the Coliseum alleys owing to the
fact that there are two alleys reserv-
I'd for ladies at all times.

the votes of nearly half the Ameri-

ously opposed his election to the
presidency, not less than those who
most earnestly and sincerely favored
it, have, had cause for congratula-
ton in the dignifed and manly fash
ion in which he has carried hlmseif
ever since he first set foot on for

him. and in every European capital
he visited he has been received as
the distinguished and representative

failed to criticize the political action
of Mr.. BRYAN, but In yesterdays edi-

SCocRA, Miss Dec.

NSNSphi hloo bSC' 81 JbUO.
Eiitor KEMPKR HERALD.
Dear Sir:-With your permits
sion we shall write IL few lines
for your interesting paper.
Crops have been unusually
good throughout this part OF the
country, and 9 weather re-
markably favorable for harvest
ing same. Hence every farmer
carries Il cheerful countenance.
and the merchants do likewise.
There is bt edly more
cheerfnlness in evidence than for
a number of years.
While all this is true, we are
put to wondering whether pros
perity is really what we most
need after all-that is, when the
matter is considered from a NOR
al view point as we'll as other
wise.
Truly, man is a wonderful
creature. Two mel are two won.
deriul creatures. Man plus
means equals possibilities. These
possibilities may be tor good, or
they may be for bad.
Now we are by no means con
tirmed pessimists, but firmly be
lieve that even temporary pros
perity for the majority would
mean little short OF riotous liv-
ing, while continued prosperity
would mean final ruin.
Is it not alarming to consider
the large and ever increasing
number of Satan's emissaries
serving in the capacity OF liquor
solicitors, distributors and con
sumers? We can hardly open a
newspaper without beholding q
glaring liquor advertisement
Besides, the unmistakable evil
dence of an immense amount oil
it received and sold right here in
our midst!
Why this aggravated state Of
affairs? Is it not because the
aforementioned emissaries are
familiar with the recent ripple o.
prosperity that has passed over
the country, as well as the de.
PRAYED nature of mankind?
Fellow citizens, whittier are
we drifting? What age are we
living in? And how long shall
this state OF affairs continue
Is it not already high-noon il
respect to dealing with this mon.
ster evil?
We trust that the day may
soon dawn when an unprece
denied effort shall be made tc
abolish the whiskey curse.
This is indeed an age charac
terl2ed by numerous organiza
tions. We hear a great dea
about capital organizati ons
about labor organizations, abou.
political organizations; but who
Is concerned about the much
needed anti-whiskey organiza
ton?
La our humble judgment, W ha.
is most needed just now is &C
ton. Out of love for our coun
try, tor our young men and boys
let US wage war against thi,
deadly foe. The cause is a right
eous one, hence none need TEA
to enlist. Though we fail, LEI
US be found facing the enemy
Let us say, with good old Nehe
miah "Should such a man as ]
flee; and who is there, that, be
ing as [ am, would go into tht
temple to save his life? I viii
not go in.' Yours truly,
