Should Not BE Discussed.

Religion, prohibition and The dispensary
are three things which should not he discuss
ed in priv ate conversation. Every man has
made up his mind on these subjects, and each
man feels satiefied with his own views.
Tie Press and Banner is perfectly willing
for every man TO vote as he pleases. We do
not intend to try to change any mans opin-
lon. And DO man need try TO change ours
We are voting for the candidates, from Coro-
ner to Governor, who are most pronounced In
| favor of correcting the abuses Of the dispen
sary and " ho favor the sirictest enforcement
OF the diapensary law as 1t stands. Some =
body said that he feared the Greeks when
bringing gifts. And we fear candidates who
propose TO tinker with the dispensary. Those
Of our fellow citizens who hold our Views
should vote as we shall vote-for dlspensary
candidates. High license advocates and pro-
hibitionists ought 10 cast ballot that will
90 uare with their convictions.
The only thing that distresses this editor is,
the fear that prohibitionists may march up
| der the high license banner. With our
| friends, the Prohlbitionists. In the liquor
camp, the temperance men OF the State may
be defeated.
We print all that we have to say on the
liquor question, and we hope never to discuss
it with anybody, and we are quite sure we do
not intend TO hear others discuss It, unless OF
course the matter should be taken into the
pulpit, when we could not get away and
would be compelled to sit.
While we think the danger OF drink and
the blessings of sobrIety may be very proper
| IL discussed from the pulpit vet attacks upon
the dispenssry tre not proper IN the pulpit.

About that "Tnholy Alliance

We ask attention 10 the editorial which
was taken from the Orsngeburx Patriot on
the subject Of THAT Unholy Alliance The
spirit OF our neighbor is excellent. and we
regard 1t as coming from high view point
We do not recollect II the Press and Banner
has ever spoken Of "thst unholy alliance
but 1t is true that we have thought 1t.
If the going of preachers and temperance
men into The liquor camp is not forming an
"unholy alliance" We would be glad II some
body would tell US what 1t is.
The fact is this newspaper Is not able to un
derstand how preachers or temperance mer
for open bars.
This is perhaps the q rst time in the history
of the wor Id that prohibitionista have gone
into political faction whoae avowed purpose
Is to open the bar rooms under high license.
How intelligent and honest speaking
cburchmen can openly proclaim their affiiia
tion with bar room advocates is what We
do not understand. And until 1t is explain
ed TO US we shall think 1t is the unholiest O
all unholy alliances.
Search the records and see II Christian
tenn perance men whom the world has always
respected, ever 80 disappointed their neigh
bors as 10 60 into camp OF the bar room
crowd.
All men must respect honest men who fgh,
for principle. We honor the license men fol
their honesty but oppose their principle
For long LIE time We have honored temper
ance men and prohibitlonists.
But what shall we think Of temperance
men who join the bar room element in their
fight for open bars? 1t wouldn't be pruden,
to say what we think Of temperance men who
stultify themselves by going into the liquor
camp.
The dispensary is bad enough, bnt high
licensed bar is ten times as bad.

Pre- sbYterian High school.

There has been some talk and some sub
scriptIons TO Presbyterian High school 70
be established In Abbeville. The Press and
Banner believes In getting everything In
sight, and.is willing to contribute money fol
the proposed high school.
But as most of us are ignorant OF what may
be behind this school. suppose that we have
a public meeting when we may know more
about it. II 1t is a good thing, why let Us
have 1t. lit is not good thing. We do moi
need II.
Let US get together for once. Ifali the facts
were presented we would no doubt be Of one
mind, either for or against the school.
Abbevllle has never yet got anything that
the town would be willing to part with. A
successful high school would be OF great
value Converse built Rock Hill. The Col.
leges at Due West built that town. Landers
College built Williamson and has now un.
dertaken the Job of making a city OF little
town called Greenwood.

China Pays For Dead Missionaries

sion and S40O. 900 In dem pity 10 the deceased
missionaries families builds q memorial
hospital, and punish the ring-leaders OF the
rloting.
Wien we see the grand Muckamuck OF
China we are intend to advise him TO send
missionaries home, or else to kick them In.
to the sea. China deserves to be let alone
And intermedding missionaries who raise
religious rackets and get killed ought to
suffer the consequences.
Ifpeople at home we're more impressed
with the beauty OF their own religion, and
would more closely observe the preoepts of
their own religions. they would have less
time and less inclination TO meddle with
other people.

The Ledger is somewhat disappointed that
Mr.. G. G. Featherstone declined to run for
governor. However, the best thing for those
| TO do who are opposed to the dispepsary 10 70
select the best possible man who Is opposed
| to that Institution and support him to q
man.-Gaf1ney Ledger.
The Ledger is exactly right. Those who are
opposed to the dispensary should throw away
his vote on the best man who is opposed to
1t.
Those who favor the dispensary should vote
solidly for d1spensary man,
The rule is good, and no mistake will be
made In voting according 10 ones principles.
II the friends Of the dispensary are true to
principle, and II the temperance men can be
kept from deserting TO the license camp, the
State OF South Carolina will be squarely for
the best liquor law that we ever had.
The little squad OF prohibitionists can
make a noise 10 let people know they are
there. They can do no harm as long as they
stick to their temperance. The danger is that
they may 60 into the liquor camp, and
march under the banner OF high license.
We take IT that no reader OF the Press and
Banner has any doubts as TO where this
newspaper stands on the subject Of temper
ance. For years and years we were an in
discreet prohibitionist, and when that little
side box was placed at the election boxes In
which the people spoke as to their desire for
prohibition, our vote went into that box. and
we were proud when the ''prohibition" vote
outnumbered the "lioense" vote. We had
tried county prohibition, but 1t failed. We
thought maybe the State prohibition would
be better.
When Governor Tillman sidetrackad pro-
hibition and gave us the dispensary, we were
disgusted.
When 1t was proposed to open dispensary
In Abbeville, we fought against 1t as hard as
we could
The diRpensary came. The plan works all
right. We are now for the dispeDsary. We
expect to vote for 1t, and for the men who
support It, AS between the dispensary and
the worst form ofliquor license-high license
the people need have no sort of doubts as to
where we stand.
Every set or party of men who ad1o-
cate pro hibltion, or any material change in
the liquor law is practically fighting for
high license.
No man in his sober moments believes that
prohibition stands the ghost OF chance.
The leaders OF this fight against the dispen.
sary are pronounced high license advocates.
How a sensible temperance man can gain the
high license party is more than we can un.
derstand.
We presume that nobody outside the
liquor camp would for moment claim that
the dispenssry is worse than high licensed
bar"

INDIGNATION,

Many persona seem to have holy horror of
the corruption in the dispensary, and their
Knowledge OF the English language appears
TO be inadequate TO a proper expression of
their feelings.
We think that reckles abuse Of any depart
ment of the government is unjust TO all the
STATE. And especially is this true OF the dis
pensary. The dispenssry was organized by
the Legislature, and Its officers were elected
by the members OF that body. While we
think II just and right to comment ON the act
of any public ottic icial, and while We think the
Legislature is not exempt from criticism, yet
wholesale denuDclation of any act OF the Leg.
islature is reflection on the people whom
they represent.
Members of the Legislature are representa-
tives Of the people. TO be constantly holding
up their acts as reprehensible is to bring
blame or censure upon the people.
The press of this State which fayors high
license, have SO often rupg the changes on the
bad management of the dispensary, that 1t is
possible for people outside OF this State TO
have very erroneous opinion of us.
The election of dispensary officials is the
work Of the people through their agents. If
their agents elect improper persons. the fault
lies with the Legislature. But in the absence
OF even hint that anything was wrong on
the part OF our Legislators in electing dspen-
sary officials, we are obliged to believe that
they acted honestly and conscientiousIy and
that they thought that they were voting for
men who were most capable and most hon.
est.
But high license newspapers seem to direct
their energies more against the dispensary,
than to the correcting of existing evils.
In 1876 corruption and inefticlency were
found in nearly every political Office. In
stead of assailing the good name of the State,
honest men made warfare on dishonest off,
cers-not one word was said about the abol-
ton Of any office. The result is known of all
men.
Let the people elect good men to the Offices
and to the legislature who will purify the
offices as did Wade Hampton in 1876
Let good men be elected to all offices.
