TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
Adopted by the Session OF the Walhalla
Presbyterian Church.

Whereas, it pleased Almighty God,
our kind Heavenly Father, in His in
finite wisdom and goodness to remove
from our midst by death, on the 10Th
OF July, A. ID. 1905, our beloved pas
tor, Rev. Robert Lee Rogers, in the
zenith of his young manhood and in
the midst of a career of great useful
ness in The church militant to higher
sphere of eternal enjoyment and
bliss in the church triumphant on
high, and we desire to place on record
this brief memorial of him; therefore
be it resolved by the session of Wal
halla Presbyterian church:
LIST. That in the death of Brother
Rogers this church has sustained the
loss of devoted and dearly beloved
pastor, this session it's head leader
and wise counselor in things spiritual,
Presbyterianism true, able and loyal
exponent of its doctrines, and the
Church of Christ a devoted and very
promising minister of the gospel, just
maturing and developing for career
Of greater usefulness in the church
and to the world at large.
I'd. That by his death we feel that
"the candlestick has been removed
from the midst of our church." and
whilst we would not murmur or COM
plain, for we know that our Father
in Heaven "doeth all things well,"
yet we cannot but exclaim, How
strange and mysterious the provi-
dence that one 30 young, 30 fully
equipped for great usefulness in the
church on earth, should be 80 sud
denly cut short in his career here.
Sd. We rejoice as a session in the
conviction that he was fully prepared
for the great change when it came,
and that our loss il his eternal gain,
and we tender to his family our heart
felt fraternal sympathies in their sore
bereavement, and commend them to
Him, who has promised to be a
"father to the fatherless, and the
widows God".
4th. That page in our minute
book be dedicated and inscribed to
bis me mory, and copy of these reso-
lutions be furnished our local papers
and The Southern Presbyterian with
the request for their publication.
BY order of session.

p pointment as the head of that bureau,
at an adequate salary, of man
whose reputation and antecedents
shall be beyond reproach, and whose
familiarity with cotton cultivation
shall be an additional guarantee of
his fitness; (3) an organization of
the bureau so established upon thor
oughly scientific lines, as will insure
no possible bias in favor of either

ing away or selling valuable informa-
tion az has been done in the statisti-
cal bureau.
We have no doubt of the zeal of
the officers of the department, but
it seems to be as misdirected in this
crisis as it was in the antecedent
period. All the powers aud influence
of the department, of the lawyers
and of every man of the govern
ment seems to be devoted to the at
tempt to dragnet lot of irresponsi-
bic speculators. That there have
been for years leaks in the depart
ment is as well known to the trade
as the existence of the department
itself; but these are insignificant as
compared with the fundamental
management. At this time, however,
there is manifest endeavor to divert
attention from the radical errors and
deficiencies of the department itself
to the thieving propensities of few
unworthy officials. Let US not be
misled by any such misdirected
energy. Let us reform at the top
and not on the side. Let us root out
the offenders, cleanse the personnel,
change the methods and renovate
the department from root to branch.
Then the cause of cotton and good
government will alike be served in
Rooseveltian fashion.

1t is said that many of the regis
tered distilleries are now selling more
"on the side" than ever before in the
history of the business in this Sec
tion. This is possibly no fault of
the officers, whose duty it is to
watch over the government plants,
but the field for the sale of such con-
traband goods is wide open, and the
proprietors of many distilleries are
said to be taking advantage of the
opportunity.
The constables in Pickens have
been removed, and the only officers
who have the authority to enforce
prohibition are the sheriff and the
magistrates. Many who have watched
the situation closely do not hesitate
to say that the blind tiger is becom-
ing more active all the while, and
it is believed by many that some
thing must be done to relieve the
conditions which are bad at present
and growing worse.

Col. W. J. Talbert for Prohibition.

We have been waiting anxiously
for some good man who would make
South Carolina the right kind of a
Governor to come out and take a
positive stand against the liquor
traffic, but he has been slow "acom-
ing" Mr.. Ansel made bold dash,
but he SHE'D at something and there
be has stood for weeks with his ears
pricked up, peering around to see
what scared him, and whether he
should undertake to pass the "booger"
or turn back. He never got any
further than TO say he was "agin" the
dispensary as the best solution of the
whiskey problem. And there he
stands Behold the picture-jnst
"awaiting."
In the meantime Col. w. j. Talbert
gets in the middle of the road, runs
by everything and gets there with
both feet. In proof of this we give
part of his speech delivered at Red
Oak Grove Baptist church on Satur-
day last at union meeting and re-
ported in The State last Monday:
"There is no impropriety in speak
ing of the dispensary in the church.
i believe in fighting the devil any
where. l shall attack the dispensary
anywhere and everywhere. l am
against it in any form. If man
thinks he can reform an ancient egg
let him reform the dispensary. /
never saw a rotten egg made fresh.
"To say prohibition does not pro-
hibit is silly. The laws against steal
ing, murder, arson and rape do not
prohibit, but they restrain. So will
prohibition restrain. l do not think
there can be more blind tigers under
prohibition than under the dispensary
as now conducted.
"The prohibition movement is not
a failure to it is due the credit for
the present activity. love every
inch of my State and I am honest in
my readiness to fight whiskey.
Whenever the church membership
of this country quits drinking liquor
determine to wash their hands of
complaisance with those who deal in
it for selfish gain and go to work
against whiskey-we will have the
prohibition which we need in South
Carolina"
Now watch the boys fall off the
fence and try to land on the right
side But we are for the man who
got there first, for we believe he
spoke the convictions of his heart
His doctrine is right anyway and we
are for sound doctrine every time
Why should not your uncle Benja-
min Ryan give up trying to make
the rotten eggs fresh and stand by
uncle Jass" =? 1t is the thing to do,
Daddy Ben, for your child is hope
less and you must see it even with
one eye.-Greenwood Journal, Au-

"Man, if you want to see glorious
farms, just go up to Seneca, take a
buggy and drive about seven miles
down into the Oakway
section" b. f. Earle was telling of
a recent trip made in the interest of
the farmers union. He continued !:
"There are many fields in the Oak
way section which will make two
bales to the acre in fact one man
has for five years averaged crop of
100 bales on 60 acres. The land lies
beautifully between Tugaloo and
Seneca rivers, and it is a fine neigh
borhood of prosperous homes, with a
