Need OF o Republican Party.

Nccu u u ncpuDL1can farty.
The S~psrtsnburg Free Lance thinks that
there 10 need OF q Republican party in South
Carolina. And from that papers standpoint
OF reasoning 1t would seem there ia something
In IL claim.
We would not ourself quite agree with the
Free Lance. But we are firmly convinced
that we haye In the South no political
platform, except that which is based upon q
senseless and idiotio idea that 1t ia the duty OF
the South to be obstructionists.
The Southern Democracy solidly op.
posed the Philippines. the Panama Canal, the
San Domingo treaty. Nobody can deny that
these propositions are grave and important is.
sues about which there might be honest DIFF
ferenoes Of opinion. But all the South ID
solidly opposed 10 these problems. II the
Democrats we're governed by their intelli.
gepce and their reasoning faculties, rathe
than party allegiance, does anybody doubt IN
the general chapter OF accidents that they
would divide in opinion. Nobody
can believe that every man In the
South can be Of the same mind on every i'm.
portant questions.

The Associate Reformed Presbyterian said
in its local page last week:
"Laurens Advertiser, March Is. II the Ab,

TO Lsurens he will find hat large quantities
OF dispensary liquor are consumed here every
night II you don't believe 1t. go to Clinton
Clinton has never had q dispensary and has
had no bars In many years. Clinton has 5000
people, Laurens 5000 Laurens drinks at least
so TO 100 times as much LIQUOR q day as Gin.
ton"
The Press and Banner Ia like the prohibi
tionists In one particular. 1t does not try to
enforce tho dispensary or any other Law We
are willing TO take the testimony Of the Lau-
rens Advertiser on the liquor-drinking In
that town. Laurens must be q bad place In.
deed. or else Clinton must Do mighty good.
The people Of Laurens surely are not a. bibu.
lous a. tho Advertiser thinks. 1t 10 true that
liquor can be kept out Of no town. The inter.
state commerce law makes 1t easy for any man
TO get liquor every day. But the estimated
difference In. the drink bill Of Laurens and
Clinton would prove one Of WI things, name
ly: That the people Of Clinton are much
more temperate than the people OF Lsvrens
or that the police is more efficient In keeping
ont blind tigers in one place than in the other.
= At this distance 1t would seem that Lsurens
drinks more liquor than Greenwood.

It may be commended that such prayers may

Prayers said At Presbytery msy-and

more b sermons can sdify, convince or

they are welcome. L., the preacher

There isn't . soul on earth that 10 not moved
BY prayer In his behalf. Even those whose
feet take them far out Of the straight M mar.
row path hunger and thirst for or interest in
the srs on Sunday morning. Absentee
ism from church 10 accounted for In . large
measure because Of lack. Of interest in the
service. Those who lack interest In the SER
vice may not always be solely to blame for
tho seeming dsrsliction. And the preacher
may we'll ask himself the cause OF the lack Of
attendance on divine worship. When peop'e
are edited aad entertained, or whom their
hearts arc appealed to, they will likely AXE

is. that. under such condition, mono of our
churches will have as many empty psws as
heretofore.
To 60 to Presbytery TO pray for people at
home, would DO about as improbable ~ it 10

Such prayers ansct the people at home, but

Prayers do not make or change conditions
