We Are All of One Mind.

We believe there Is no division OF seuti-
ment among the candidates in this County.
All favor the dispcnsary, except those who
are prohibltionisis in fact and in principle.
On the liquor question prohibitlonists have
no choice OF candidates for the Legislat ture.
Ifthey vote at all for members they must be
like other people, aud go along with the
crowd.
But when 1t comes to voting for Governor
the prohibitlonists will be unspeakable hap
py In casting their ballet for Joel +. Brunson
OF course Mr.. Brunson knows that there
Is scarcely handful Of prohibitions In the
State, but he knows that whiskey drinkers,
saloon advocates and some others have woes.
Mr.. Brunson will get more votes than his
friends are counting on. Ifall the barroom
or license men opposing the dispensary vote
for him he will be in the second race. If Mr.
Brunson commands the anti dispensary votes
as we have reason to believe that lie will, be
will lead he ticket on the first primary, and
at the second primary, either MaLning or
Blease will beat him out OF his boots.
Let the Laurepsvile Advertiser take note
of this prediction. A very considerable
number Of anti dIspensary votes In different
parts OF the State are obliged to vote for
Brunson or else vote against their principle.
III man favors the dispensary, he is for the
dispensary and he needn't try Ietine and
spIit struws. He Ia either prohibitionist, q
license man. dispensary advocate or an
antidispepsary man. II il liquor or prohibi-
tion. Dspensaries are bad. Bar rooms are
worse. The crowning evil is hee liquor OF
prohibition.

Next TO Messrs. L. T. & T. M. Miller's store

There are in these stores more kinds OF

cool and sound despite the hot weather. The
refrigerator cools the goods, while the Messrs.
Hill, by the radiation OF warmth and good

their customers.
In the store OF the Messrs. Miller Is 10 be-

Lets Have No Conceal ments.

If any candidate for any office Is afraid TO
announce his position in certain and positive
terms, the people ought TO see that others
speak out. This Is a Democratic county. and
the people are the rulers. Those candidates
who favor prohibitions should say 30, aud II
is the duty OF all prohibition voters to vote
for prohibition candidates. Ifany candidate e
favors the dispensary let him say so. And
then those voters who favor the dlspensary
should vote for him. If any candidate is op-
posed to the dispensary, let those who oppose
the dispensary vote for him.
Abbeville County wants no dodgers, and
the candidates should refuse TO take votes
under a misapprehenslon.
Let no man go to the Legislature without as
fully ia ir and unmistakable expression OF
opinion.
1.-THE candidates now in the field are for
the dispensary. they are good enough for
friends ofthe dispensary. Ifany are opposed
to the dispensary, they are good enough for
such voters as oppose the dispensary.
Bat the matter which We think Of Impor'
tance is to have nough candidates for the
Legislature who will support The Legislature.
This is a campaign OF priuciple-not OF men
and every voter hould vote according TO
his convictions. This editors convictions fa
yor the Slate dispensary, and he shall vote
for such candidates as favor the dispensary
or 1t is. with better laws for Its enforcement.
If there are enough men for the Legislature
who are In favor Of the dispensary, this ed
itor will make up his ticket from them. The
same rule will govern him in his vote Tor all
officers from coroner to governor. We want
no doubtful candidate, or fence straddler. A
fence straddler is less deserving OF our vote
than the candidate who has principle and
Is not afraid 10 say 30. We would sooner
vote for an opponent than for one whose con-
victions are unknown. When a candidate
will not state his position you can safely
guess that he is against you.
Next Saturday is the last day for filing
pledges. We hope 10 see full set OF inde-
pendent outspoken candidates.

A Wasted Life.

The New York Sun printed not
long ago tragic letter which, though
anonymous, bore every mark OF being
q genuine leaf torn out of mans
heart-book. The writer said he came to
New York very poor boy, and having
now made large fortune, had retired
from business. "But," says the confess.
ing millionaire, "when 1 think it over
day by day, can only be ashamed OF
it all. supposed that l was no worse
than the others I know that some
were worse than 1. But I forgot that
there was such thing as square deal.

or q customer or an employee, did.
ANYTHING that could do to attain my
own success was good business, and |
did it. have given to charity, but II
doesn't satisfy me. I know what l
have done wasn't manly. The modern
success is rank failure. I would give
all that I possess tonight if | could say:
L have given every one square deal.
l have done no man wrong Think 1t
over; it will mean lot to you someday.
1t ought to mean a lot to every young
man right now. Let him ask himself
whether he ever heard man talk
that way in old age who in youth had
deliberately turned away from money
making and devoted his life to doing
good. Did he, in fact, ever hear any
poor man speak with such cold,
shivering disgust at life? Any young
fellow with horse sense ought to be
able to see that starting out to get rich
is just the same as writing Fool" in
capital letters on his own forhead.-In-
terror.

NEW CHURCH.
The CoIored Presby byterians Occupied
Their New House OF worship Last
Sunday.

Their New House OF worship Last
Sunday.
Last Sunday was good day among the col
ored Presbytefians OF Abbevlle. AND they
were justly proud.
The former home of Mr.. Maxwell on Wash.
ingtOn street WAS sold TO them several
months ago, and since then mechanics have
been busy changing the dwelling into house
OF worship. Work had so far progressed tn
they occupied It. last Sunday.
The roof of Mr.. Maxwell = house was taken
off and a new roof of tin with much sleeper
walls were veneered with brick, and as 1t now
stands Is quite nice building.
The house Is beautifully lighted with elec-
tricity.
furnished with opera chairs.
We have been furnished with the following
interesting statement:
THE SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
This church was organiz ICED about twenty
five years ago and has occu pied a lot on Acad.
emy street. The old building come 10 need
repairs and as It's situation was not belleVed
10 be the most central for the congregation
steps were taken to better the location, hence
a lot was secured on Washington street, and
yesterday the new church was opened and
three mastery sermons were preached TO the
editiration of the congregations.
AT IL q. IN. and p. m. the pulpit was Occu-
in Biddle University at Charlotte, n. {. AT
n. m. the sermon was delivered by Rev. +. j.
Gregg. pastor of Mt. Zion Presbyterian
church, Due West.
The new church including the lot cost the
congregation three thou and dollars.
The collection vest erday amounted TO Sll7
and pledges were made which brought the H.
nancial efforts up to SITS for the day. The
building committee reported during the day
that II had given a mortgage on the property
ior 81 800, which the congregation would have
to raise; that no individual or board OF the
church, or northern philanthropist, would
pay for the church, and give 1t to the copgrt-
CATION; but that the congregation Itself, with
the assistance OF it's friends In the commu-
nifty, would lift The mortgage In time.
The church has membership OF about a
hundred. The elders are George Richie, Will
liam Pope, Norman Richie, james White and
Charles b. Johnson.
The pastor IL Rev. Charles A. Ward. who Is
native of North Carolina. q graduate from
the Seminary of Biddle University at Char
lotte, n. e.
The church though connected with the AZ
,sembly of the Northern Presbyterian church
is at the present self-supporting.
