Death OF Hon. w. HI. Parker.

Hon. w. II. Parker of this city died In
Greenville or Tuesday. February Z, 1905. and
his remains were brought back 10 Abbeville
on Friday. A delegation went 10 Hodges tC
meet the corpse, and at the Abbeville station
nearly all the old people and many OF the
younger people Of the tow met the train,
Business houses were closed, and a grea,
multitude attended the funeral service at the
Episcopal Church. At the grave the service
was conducted by the preachers and the
Ma sons. And so 1t is, after nearly four score
years OF labor in all the line of usefuln ess
the body of Mr.. Parker was laid to rest among
kindred and friends who had preceded him t.
the spirit land. A wealth Of flowers adorned
the mound Of clay that wrapped the honored
dust
True and faithful in every relation Nh,
Parker's fidelity and sincerity was never
doubted. Whether as friend, az citizen, as
lawyer. as Mason, or as Churchnan he was
always to be depended upon. All knew
where to find him.
As one who moved in the higher and the
pnrer atmosphere, he commanded the good
will and respect Of all men. His life and his
character are 9 rich heritage, and q loving
people will always honor his memory. His
devotion to his children was beautiful, and
their emulation OF his splendid character
was the patriarch's crown.

The Anderson Daily Mail.

The Anderson Daily Mail has been changed
from a morning paper 10 an evening paper.
1t is now printed at four O'Clock IN the even
ing. The evening newspapers are always
Interesting TO US, but whether the Daily
Mail is printed ID the evening or IN the
morning, 1t Is equally interesting. The
Mail gets the news. Its editorials are always
readable and entertaining. Brave and
courageous in the expression of Its own
opinions, the editor always accords TO those
who differ from him, honesty and sincerity
of purpose. The Mail is good humored,
honest and fair. Whether The Mall agrees or
disagrees in The discussion "f matters before
the public 1t always ctrducts Itself as a
gentleman, and never fails 10 accord to the
'other fellow credit for Ijkr high principle.
Having The ability and the ready wit to take
care of itself. it has never, as far as we now
recoIlect, forget It's own self-respect and has
never failed TO be polite while asserting Its
opinions.
Able to take care Of itself the Mail i5 not
forced to resort to the practice of assalling
character, nor does 1t need 10 impute
motives TO others. The Mail Is a paper thai
has a high regard for the sacredness OF
cha racter.

who are the UncbriStians?

why IL il that all men in a Christian land
are not Christians?'
II was Dr.. F.. Y. PIessiy that asked this
question last week in the Associate Reform
ed Presbyterian. Because Of our high per-
sonal regard for him, and because Of bis high
standing in the church, and because Of his
we'll known conspicuous position in the
world OF letters, we refer TO hi' Inquiry, no.
that we expect to teach him anything, bu.
that we ma learn something from him
Outside of theological circles we believe
The world comedies that the prevailing
religion of q country includesin that religion
every person who does not renounce that
religion or who does not embrace another
religion. Then from a layman's standpoint,
ss a matter of fict, and as q matter of correct
speech, all persons in this country who do
not embrace another religion, or renounce
the prevailing religion, are Christians.
Laymen would be interested 10 knowing
how the question is regarded In theol ogy
Apart from the recognized guide 1t wonl0
be interesting to know The theolos-
ical dividing line which separates the citizen
In this country from Christianity.
Does the Doctor draw the line at church
fellowship?
Does be put the "unchristian" among. those
who are In the communion. but whose lives
are VIGOROUSLY at variance the rules
and precel is as laid down by our Savior?
Does he include among The "unchristian"
such OF his fello w.citizens as live much more
nearly In accord with the Divine precepts
than do the unworthy churchmen, but who.
from fear OF Inworthiness, do not formally
take upon themselves the churchly vows?
Would the. Doctor designate rs "unchris-
tlan," the man who took IN Christianity with
his mothers milk, and who in after life,
strives 70 exempllfy the great ana living
truths Of the sacred volume which are more
lasting thai the everlasting hills, and upon
which the church itself vas organized
Would the Doctor designate as "unchrls-
tian" those who support the Christian insti-
tutions with their means?
1t would be more profitable n more in
structive If our beloved .fr lend would be
more explicit in his speech. Let US know by
what method Of reasoning he came 10 the
conclusion that a part Of this people are sun
christian" and upon what facts he pro.
nounces judgment against his fellow citizens
And, II 1t be true, as the Doctor Indicates,
that many OF our people are "unchristian,"
be might tell us something as TO what the
pulpit is doing to Christianize the "unoh:is-
tian" homefolk while l~aboring with such fer.
vor In foreign lands.

SMALLPOX

It seems that smallpox is we'll scattered
over the State. and In some places the Off
cials OF the towns or the State have put theil
heels on the people with as much force as
could be donelin Russia, even In time OF war
At Dillon. some very we'll meaning Officers
Guaranteed smallpox patients end SCI
armed guards about them.
The cruelty and Injustice of such a course
is plainly seen when 1t is known that small
pox is a preventable disease, and a disease
which no one need have except at his own
choise.
Vaccination makes the citizen immune,
and no one has a right TO complain, II be
~neglects a duty to himself and to bis family
To quarantine a smallpox patient is TO de
prive him Of his liberty, and for that depri-
walton be might have a remedy In the Courts
We know OF no way 10 make easels a pre-
vertable disease, but still nobody thinks o
imprisoning a citizen who spreads the un-
~preven!able disease.
We even allow the keeping OF pig pens, q
fruitful source of typhoid. We sometimes
quarantine the p%estiIential hog which spreads
al u~npreventable disease, but should the
citizen, with q preventable disease be penned
up, and kept off the streets? When people
refuse or neglect TO be vaccinated it is their
right to have smallpox. and nobody has a
right to interfere with or to abridSe that
right. If pretty women take their chances
at marking their faces, why should the faces
OF great ugly men be guarded?

Senator TilIman's Illness.

Senator Tillman, accompanied by his ply
stefan, is off for consultation with medical
men in Baltimore, but we are assured that no
grave apprehensions are felt for bis safety.
The physician goes along with him out OF
abundant caution. or words to that effect.
Well, now we do not see why the actual
facts may not be stated, or why the fears may
not be expressed In print. Senator Tillman
IL not q baby that he must nave a physician
to travel about with him.
At present no mar In South Carolina fills
30 large q place in the public eye. He has
made q greater impress upon the State than
has any other man in this generation, and
the people are interested In him, and have a
right to expect correct Information as to hls
true condition. 1.-The has cancer Of the throat
why not say 30? II he has other serious all.
ments, why conceal the fact?
The indications are, that Senator Tillman
is a very Ill man, but the people do not un'
derstand the evidentintention OF concealine
his true condition.

The convict o n and execution of Ex.Mayol
McCue Of Charlottesville, Va, increased oul
respect for the Courts and the chief executive
who refused to pardon or commute the sen.
tence.
II other Governors had the backbone to
refuse to set aside the verdicts of jurors We
would have fewer killings. Ifjurors in other
States would convict "prominent" evil doors
as they did IN Charlottesville, Va. the ordi
nary man would be more careful about tax
ing human life.
We saw by the newspapers that efforts were
being made to save McCue from the gallowt
and we never doubted but that the Governor
would find some pretext for interfering
with the action of the Courts. The practice
OF acquitting prominent people" ia so COM
mon that the conviction was a surprise. And
we could hardly believe that the Governor
would fail to give the desired relief in this
instance.

Miles and Davis.

1t would seem to US that 1t Is a proper time
10 cease the discussion of the sct of Genera
Miles in shack ling Mr.. Davis. The fame and
glory Of the South's great leader is safe from
harm, and 1t would seem that his friends and
kindred need not DOW whine and cry over
the ~indignity that was heaped upon him. A
brave people should not do this. Some men
have actually expressed greater hatred OF
Miles than OF Pontius Pilot. Miles was q
young man when he shackled Mr.. Davis,
He Ia old now, and no doubt he is sorry for
his mistake. Let him rest and let him die in
peace. Nothing that be has done or can do
can ipjure Mr.. Davis in the minds and
hearts of those who revere his memory.

Where are the Prohibitionistss

If we are not IN error, the prohibitionists
sometime ago were very noisy, and were fre'
quently repeating the arguments OF the IL
cense advocates against the dispensary. In
their holy zeal they seemed to have no real'-
zation Of the fact that they were fighting In
the ranks OF the license advocates, even II
they were not attempting 10 be their captains
and colonels OF the liquor crowd. During the
sitting Of the Legislature 1t seems to US the
prohibition leaders Of the license advocates
went into q hole or played on a very small
fiddle.
Nc body would deny that the traffic in il
ouor Is one of the most difficult problems be
fore the people.
AS q rule, the liquor element has paid lit
tie attention to prohibitory laws, but the dis
peneary law has been fought from first to
last.
AS we believe, the liquor associations Of the
country. have tried to prevent the enforce.
ment Of the law. The courts have been ap-
pealed to, and temperance people have aided
comforted or encouraged the license adver'
Gates in their efforts to break down the law.
And 1t seems to us that some Of the opponents
ofthe law have been a little careless in ascer-
EalQlQR idCuS. auu nave uOI oecl 4ultOo ioA - II
their speech as they should have been.
We all know that the use Of liquor us a bev.
erage is one Of the greatest evils from which
we suffer. But all Of Us do not know that II
is well to stop the sale Of liquor at sun down.
Some Of us think that 1t is best to keep the
bars open until ten or eleven or twelve o'clock
at night where men and boys may assemble
and drink Some Of rs do not believe that 1t
is we'll to close at night the doors when the
debased may corrupt the better crtmore inno-
cent man or boy. Some Of US prohtbitionists
have expended their energies against the dis
pensary without once appealing to the better
natures Of our people In any effort to dissuade
them from contracting the drink habit. Some
ofus prohibitionists do not recognize the fact
that the dispensary gives prohibition from
sunset TO sun rise.
In the Legislature, the worst and most dan
gerous proposition as to liquor has been
made, namely: High license. Abbeville has
q all sorts OF liquor laws, but our testimony
wonld be, that high license is the most objec-
tionable Of all the methods Of handling liquor
First. 1t deprives the poor man Of a fair
chance, and drives him out Of business.
Second. 1t gives q monopoly to the rich,
and furnishes the power to Cypress.
Third The danger is that when q man has a
monopoly Of the liquor traffic. he may use ex
tortiop, and the wonder is, 1.-THE liquor is as
pure as when there is more competition.
Fourth. From our earliest recollection there
have been rich bar keepers who have advor.
Gated high license.
Fifth. Under no system oflicense has the
short measure been absent. Under any IL
cense that we ever had. "sixes" and not
"quarts' were the rule. Under the dispen-
sary law honest measure is given.
Sixth. Even admitting that the dispesary
Is bad, It is certainly not as Objectionable TO
temperance men as is the bar.

By united action the farmers have Increased

but when the price goes up to the proper
point the cotton mill move.

Peace Of body and soul add mind?
Work Till the sun on your task goes down!

Holy each stitch, tits a mothers prayer.
What If from boots brown toes peep out?
Walk the welkin with joyous shout;
Work till the stars begem the skies!
Little man with a purpose high,
Do with a will what you have to do;
Heroes are made from such as you
Ad mirals, generals, presidents,
Are but creatures Of gift and sense
Work while the world swings through IN

Little man with the soul 30 pure,
No heights too steep for q boy to SCALE,
No seas too broad for his ship to sail.
There's nothing too great for a boy TO do
So he to sell and Goo be true
Work while the round world doth endure!

THE CHURCH DEBT.
A Pen Picture Drawn By an Illinois Editor

September is the month when
the church debt turns from the
ice cream and fixes its fangs on
the flabby oyster of commerce.
The church debt is one of the
greatest blessings of the age. 1t
takes the minds of the sisters off
the servant girl question for the
time being, dispels spiritual en-
nui and promotes a hallowed ana
sanctified sociability. 1t gives
the busy church workers an op
portunity to trade their groceries
to each other at less than cost
and then report to the official
board that they have made $5.l3.
Many towns have no Carnegie
library but all have a church
debt. The depraved father and
husband who refuses to attend
church is involuntarily made to
serve the Lord because of the
church debt, for do not the plous
and devout wives and daughters
sell seventy-five cents worth of
flour, eggs and sugar, distracted
from the family larder he has
filed, for forty cents in money
to be applied on the church debt?
