now taking down their taberna.
Gle and tents preparatory to
moving to that point. They will
carry with them the best wishes
Of the people OF Lancaster, where
their earnest labors in the Mas
ter's cause have unquestionably
accomplished much spiritual
good. 1t would be unreasonable,
probably, to expect that all of
the practically two hundred per-
sons who professed conversion
during the Crusaders meetings
here to remain steadfast through
out life 10 their present changed
conditions, but doubtless very
many of them will continue
faithful TO the end. But even
those who perchance may be so
unfortunate as to lapse into
their former habits and modes Of
living are for the time being at
least made better men and bet
ter women. Resolutions to lead
a new and better life are, like a
policy of insurance, good while
kept up.
In addition TO many individ-
uals manifestlv benefited by the
work Of the Crusaders, the COM
munity rs a whole has experience
ed spiritual AWAKENING which,
we dare say, will be productive
of good results for years to
come.

'gAYOR RHETT'S SPEECH OF VEL
l0@E TO THE PRESS ASSOCIA.
TION.

Ene of the best speeches made
N she meeting of the State Press
association this week, at the Isle
oS Palms, was the address of well

-bsson. Naturally, much that he
gaId was about Charleston. but
sil shat he said was we'll said and
,f much INTEREST not only to Char.
estonians and members of the
press association but TO the entire
people of the state as we'll. For
lack of space however, we shall
,pnly refer to one or two matters
slscussed by Mr.. Rhett.
Charleston's mayor has evil
aently given much thought to the
-yerplexing liquor problem, judg-
Ing from his extended remarks
IN the subject in the course of
his address referred to, which is
published in full in the News and
Courier. He draws the distinc-
17OD, so often lost sight Of, be.
tween the use and the abuse of
hpuor, as follows
Since the foundation of the
%9rid the consumption OF liquor

IEo5Iems, and the reason is that

tV7J in the abuse. Too often has
Ebs use led TO the abuse, that
mNny have thought, and do still!
Alnk, that the only way to stop

- It Is to deny them the use of

The difficulty of "reconciling
ilch views into any law that
"ill be generally observed" is
rnus pointed out by Mr.. Rhett. |

Lancaster county decided at the
polls last October that they did
not want dispensaries, and the
estdO OlIshment therefore OF Il
di5pens try in an extreme por-
tion OF the town OF Kershaw "
ing in Kershaw county, while
possibly technically legal, would
have been a contravention Of
the expressed wishes Of the
people.
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1906-07-21

has been taught that the use Of
liquor in moderation is proper
and its abuse crime or dis
ease. They do not want prohibi-
ton, they want some law that
will prevent the abuse without
interfering with the moderate
use. Prohibition in such a com.
munity will not prohibit, and an
attempt to enforce it will result
in bloodshed, or in a breach of
the law, accompanied by the
breach of many other laws, such
as bribery, perjury, blackmail,
graft, etc. Respect for law in
general in such community is
shattered. l am referring now to
urban communities"
Mr.. Rhett attributes the de.
crease in drunkenness to grow.
ing. public sentiment against the
G6use of intoXlcants rather than
to restraining or prOhibitory
laws. He says:
Has it ever occurred to you
that drunkenness has decrease
enormously in the past quarter
OF a century, and that the laws
regulating its sale have had lit
tie or nothing to do with it?
What has done it? The steady
growth OF the sentiment that
the man whose mind is pervet-
ed and overturned by liquor is
not fit for business and is men,
ace to society. So long as a man
feels that he can drink to excess
and retain his standing in busi-
ness circles, where it is necessary
for him to obtain the means of
existence, or that he will be
tolerated, if not petted in so.
ciety, he is going to propure
liquor and indulge in it to excess,
no matter what laws you may
pass for the regulation of its sale,
or how stringentiy you enforce
them.
Ii one-half of the energy
which has been expended upon
devising the means of regulating
the sale was expended upon de
vising the means for restricting
its consumption. principally by
creating and maintaining a SEN
timent against its abuse, the
world would in that respect be
much better off today.
Mr.. Rhett also had something
to say in his admirable speech
by way of criticism of the
Southern Railway for the kind
of service it gives the people Of
South Carolina, the service being
better in other states than in
this commonwealth. The un-
ique method of improvement" :"

its money in other States or on

Mr.. Rhett admits that the
Southern'S excuse tor not doing
better with its road in South
Carolina is the pendency OF the
famous merger suit; but he
adds:

Causes of Badness.

From the New York Medical Journal.
 A new explanation for badness has been given by Lucien Jacquet, who concludes that the trouble has. in most cases at least, a nervous origin.
 He calls attention to the fact that the condition is more common among intellectual persons than among oth- CTS. He Is convinced that badness is of frequent occurrence, not only among those who are subjected to intense mental strain. and under such circum- stances 1t may occur comparatively early. Badness increases with civili- zation, and Brocq has noticed the curi- ous fact that since women have de. voted themselves to intellectual pur suits and have grown accustomed to employ their cerebral centers in Il more intense manner badness, which formerly was rare among them, has progressively become more frequent.
 Furthermore, Jacquet has found in several cases of early badness that there is a degenerative inflammation of the nerves of the scalp. He con cludes that the functional excitation of the higher nerve centers in the struggle with the environment at first caused an increased growth of the hair. Subsequently, in the evolution of the race or of the individual. there came a period of functional exhaustion. This Is held to be in accordance with the law that excitation at first creates increased vigor of function, then of the organ; similarly, excess of irrita- tion causes functional disturbance and, if continued, lesion of the organ.

ESCAPED NEGRO MURDERER
 IS NOT YET RUN DOWN

Although according to various accounts from sundry directions there are many DlXes and rumors of DiXes, still of the right Dix, the negro murderer who sawed his way out of the county jail last Fri day night, there is no authorative re- port.
 In view of the large reward out for Dix's capture, S750, including the $250 offered by the governor-mistakes in the mere matter of indentity are not to be wonder at Most any light ginger cake negro, 1t was said, would on the spur of the moment, look like this amount. However, the opinion is expressed at the sherff's office that when the maze of spurious con- testants is cleared from the field the real Dix may yet be caught in time to be hanged on August 8. Any way, every means to that end are being employed
 There is scarcely a doubt but that many sleuths In the country are not overlooking such a reward as is offered for the negros capture will soon be on the trail But they will hardly follow those already zlazed out by the many who have re. ported Dixs whereabouts as a certainty for if they did theid course of pursuit would lead to almost every point of ths compass
 At first, according to alleged eye wit nesses Dix was seeen the morning after his escape near the Louisville and Nash vile railroad yeards
 Other reports quickly followed. Yester- day three more came. Dix bought some tobacco in North Birmingham, it was said, and was in such a hurry that he didn't walt for the change coming to him. The next. he was seen about twenty miles down the Alabama Great Southern road And in the afternoon it was reported that Dix was cought in Cincinnati Notwith- standing all these accounts the sheriff's office at a late hour last night was with out single clue which they would cali genuine. In this connection there are many rumors to the effect that some of
