Cards.

Periodically opposition 10 card playing
breaks out like measles in many m
ties, and without rhyme or reason whist and
other games OF cards by young people is de-
pounced as the greatest of all evils.
or course the vulgar minded and the rigid
righteous and the unco guide may see harm
In almost anything that they know nothing
about, and their expressions OF opinion
should be taken for what they are worth and
no more. More of an insight into their "
hearts or q fair estimate Of their actions
and doings might prove that such critics are
no better than others.
We are all prone to find fault and too many
OF us are too ready to magnify the errors or
sins Of our n%eighbors without regard to2thelr
virtues.
II 1t is wrong TO play whist and II church
members should not play the game, what
about base ball ? If 1t Is wrong TO dance,
what about hot suppers. where people are
forced to pay an exorbitant price for goods
which they do not want and do not need?
II it Is wrong to charge too much for goods
at a church festival. what shall we say Of the
merchant who cheats?
Our own opinion is. that II Is better to lift

their foibles into the greatest sins. TO the
pure all things are pure but 10 the vulgar all
things are vulgar.
Are the young people are to have all the life
crushed out of them? Are we TO expect them
to be sad and gloomy In this world Of sunshine
and happinessf
When a vulgarlan sees crest harm In
dancing, we are decidedly OF The opinion that
he at least should not dance and polite society
should avoid him.. The fact Is, ifa man sees
too much wickedness In an occasional dance,
be may furnish a suggestion that good wo.
men should not associate with him.
Young people need amusement and associ.
alton with each other. If danciDg and cards
are wrong. then suggest something better.
The young are pure in heart but they are JOY.
Gus In spirit.
A learned divine was once asked his opin-
ion about dancing. He replied that he did
not preach against dancing, but II the mem.
bers of his congregation took to dancing ne
then sought TO inspire them with more spirit
uality. When they had more spirituality the
dancing took care OF Itself.
But we need not talk 10 fault-finders. They
never did and never will see good In any
body except a few of their idols. Like the
garbage wagon, fault-finders pick up only
filth. and then they sometimes unload 1t In
the presence of an unoffending public.
TIC recur TO the church membe We some
times see statements that 1t is wrong for a
church member to do SO n so. If IL Is

Particular About Who Comes.

Some Of the brethren Of the press are dis
tressed because they fear that the best people
OF Europe may not come as immigrants to
this country. They talk much about labor.
ers, - ''good labor" etc. What we want In
this country Is men. Those OF our fellow Cit
liens who expect Scotch, English, German,
or other gentlemen to ONE here to
black our shoes, to live In log cabins and TO
cultivate our fields at So a month will likely
be disappointed. Those who expect to find
whole colonies made up OF Sunday school
scholars are dreaming dreams.
AS a rule, immigrants are poor young peo.
pie, possessing good health, a willingness to
work and the ambition TO make something
Of themselves. A hundred years ago our fore.
fathers came here, and they were q fairly
good lot.
The immigrants hat are now heading
this way come from the same classes and the
same walks in life as did our torefathers.
The best people now living 10 Abbeville
county descended from immigrants, and we
have no doubt that the immigrants OF today
are just as good as were our grandfathers, the
Immigrants Of a hundred years ago.
On general principles, we are willing to
Welcome even a very shabby gentleman from
any foreign shore.

Inconsistent,

Some Of our respected brethren Of the press
seem to be greatly exercised for fear that pol
itics may get into the cotton association, or,
In other words. they seem to fear that some
one may be elected to office who Is favorable
to the plans proposed by the cotton men.
In Georgia fear has been expressed that
Harvie Jordan may become q candidate for
governor OF that State. In South Carolina
ex-senator McLsurin's ability in pleading
the cause OF cotton has drawn the fire Of SOM
oft brethren. They think his speech on
the dispensary was an indication that ne has
an eye for Office. TIL liquor question is die
turblng the minds OF some people, and we
think they are looking out for politicians to
further or TO avert their patriotic desire on
the liquor question.
1t seems Strange that the same politicians
seem SO anxious TO choke off the leaders In
the effort 10 advance the agricultural interests
and would fight those who would promote
th%egeneral prosperityof the people.
We would suggest that the promoters Of
temperance and the encouragement ofindus-
trial prosperity should put active and ipfu-
entail politicians In Office. How can q people
accomplish anything without a leader? The
people need able officials who will be faithful
to the best and most earnest wishes Of the
people.

Pounced Down on Farnum.

Messrs. j. Fraser Lyon and Neils Chrietip-
son, constituting the active sub COMMITTEES Of
the Dispensary Investigation Committee,
dropped suddenly on Mr.. j. s. Farnum. a beer
dispenser and brewery agent OF Charleston
one day last week.
Under the provisions OF the Act authorizing
the in Investigation, they demanded his files Of
letters touching bis business with The State
Dlspenary. Mr.. Farnum promptly declined
TO turn over his letter files until he had re-
moved those that were OF "a private nature"
This being the kind OF letters that the com.
mittee had a fondnes for they could not cume
to an agreement with Mr.. Farnum.
Judge Pope was appealed tn to mandamus
the refractory dispenser and compel him to
turn over his correspondence, and a tempo
rary order was secured.
Presenting that the letters have remained
In Mr.. Farpum's hands pending the hearing
before Judge Pope. 1t Is fair 10 presume that
they will all be innocent enough by the time
they are scooped by the judges order.
MIR. Lyon showed special anxiety to see a
letter written on Board of Control letter head
beginning "Dear Jim," but as this was OF a
"~prIvate nature" he was not permitted to zee
II.
1t is said that Commission Tatum recently
received q car load of beer from MIR. Farnum
which upon analysis proved to be worth
about So 10 per barrel less than the grade
bought and the label indicated. Mr.. Farnum
claims that 1t was a mistake In the labelling.
and re.shipping from Savannah. Granted
that it was. Mr.. Tatum is TO be ommended
for his untlr.ng efforts in detecting and right.
ing such mistakes.
The subcommittee and the commissions
alike deserve the thanks Of the temperance
| people OF the State for their vigorous efforts
10 detect and correct errors and abuses in the
dispensary.

New Depot.

1t will be gratifying news to our people to
be informed that the Southern Rail way Is
about 10 build a handsome new passenger
and freight depot at Abbeville. Except for
the efforts OF the local agent Mr.. G. D. Brown
We believe no one In Abbeville has been in
strumental in brin cling about this desirable
result. The new depot for us comes entirely
on the motion Of the Southern people and
therefore 1t will be the more appreciated.
The old depot that was built more than fifty
years ego still does service, but our people
will be proud to see the old structure give
place to q new and more modern establish
ment.
Mr.. Brown has already received the blue
print Of the new depot, and 1t is thought that
the work of tearing down the old building
will begin as soon as the material arrives for
the new depot.
Many thanks 10 the Southern and to their
efficient and obliging agent, Mr.. c. D. Brown.

Presbyterian College.

II seems that a lumber oftowns are about
to make bids for the removal OF the Presby-
terrain College from Clinton to their respective
municipalities. The Press and Banner would
be glad 10 see Abbeville make a bid for It.
II Vaudeville wants the college, no time is to
be lost. If Rock Hill could vote bonds for
Winthrop why cannot we vote bonds for the
Presbyterian College? The College would be
a big thing for Abbeville. Suppose our city
council look into the possibility OF an cleo.
tion for bonds. II bonds can be legally issued
for that purpose. let us issue them and get the
College. No town has ever regretted the
presence ola College. and all the progressive
towns are reaching out for them.

China's Boycott.

China is about to boycott American cotton
and American manufactures OF all sorts.
This act on the part Of the heather Chinee
commands our respect. II China will refuse
to buy our goods, and will kick our mission
aries into the sea, and then shut all her doors
against the United States until the Chinese
In this country are treated with proper
respect, him will deserve better respect
from us.
A Chinese gentleman dare not set bis foot
on this soil without being subjsct TO indig-
nifty, and the lower class OF laborers cannot
come at all. Their souls are good enough for
heaven, but the Chinaman Is not allowed to
live in this Christian land. We need the
labor OF the Chinaman and we should treat
him right. AS long as he behaves himself he
should be protected. II he violates the law.
then he should be punished.
