Prohibition.

Although the town was full Of visitors last
week. attending court, the dispensary was
closed, and the boys had no means Of getting
their whiskey. The blind tigers had not got.
ten INTO business, and the dryness was
powerful. We learn that one good man sent
off to Atlanta for a quart. He was Indecent
enough TO let 1.-THE boys" know what he was
expecting on the train. When 1t come, II
was passed round to the boys to sample.
When the bottle got back to the owne be
had to squeeze II In order to get q good square
drink-or, that is about the way the story
come to US. We also learn that some OF the
boys who have been sending OF for a little
private stock nave become Disguised with the
plan OF getting the stuff In quantities. They
now favor shutting up the liquor shops
blind tigers and all. This, too, In the face Of
the injunction to "drlnk no longer water,
but use q little wine tor thy stomache's sake
and thine often indrmlties." The wine
herein mentioned, however, had no reference
the poisonous liquors that are sold by blind
tigers. And we have reason to believe that
the author OF tina sentance had never heard
of the fire water that has been dealt out at
the %dlspensary, which giveth color In the
cups, and afterwards sets mems brains on
fire.
Jus! now, we are at a loss to know what is
orthodox doctrine on the sale OF liquor.
When good and reputable prohlbitionists join
the high license people, we are at sea. The
only safe way for the citizen Is, never to
touch or taste the vile stun, from whatever
source 1t may come. Speaking for this editor.
he ne yer smallowed but q single drop as .
beverage. During the war, when he had
pneumonia, 1t was prescribed for him by the
hospital surgeon. That Is the extent Of our
personal acquaintance with the cup that
makes some men feel that they are rich and
makes others forget that they are poor, but
which finally ruins body n soul, and which
at last brushes out the religious or moral SEN
timent. while destroying the usefulness and
the good name OF the citizen.
The amount Of money that Is paid for
strong drink is alarming for the welfare and
sobriety OF our people and a menace to the
property OF our country.
The most encouraging thing In our sight IL
the fact OF Governor Ansel putting business
men-not politicianF-in charge Of The work
OF winding up the affairs Of the State dispen-
sary. II business-not polititians-are put
in charge OF the county dispensaries, we may
hope for less scandal aud better manage
ment.
The worst feature OF the oonnty dispensa-
ries is the TACT that the license element
favored 1t. A few prohibitionists went that
way, too.
But, after fifty years Of effort in trying to
curtail the drink of LIQUOR. we see that W.
have accomplished little or nothing. We
cannot stop the sale OF liquor, but we cannot
be made TO drink II.

Winter Weather.

Last Saturday and Sunday We had a taste
OF real winter weather. On Saturday the
day was hezy with liget winds that were
cold and searching for tie warm blood. Sat-
urday nishl clouds hung over rs with a
slight rain fall, and at the same time the
wind blew straight TO the marrow OF the
bone as 1t went through Us. A little rain
fell during the greater part OF Sunday, and
sIeet formed in the open air.
In passing down the 'etone steps Of the
A. RIP. church, Judge Hollingsworth slipped
on the Ice and unceremoneously spread the
court len 9Th wise across the stones. Rising
to a perpendicular. he said that neither he
nor his stick were hurt.
At night union service was held In the
methodist church, where q number of devout
worshippers brsved the incliment weather.
The churches OF the city were open in the
morning, and in each there were more than
the usual number of vacant seats.

Charleston

We wish that the misunderstanding between
Charleston and the railroads may be Bel
right. AS a rule. the railroad people are =
practical folk and are working for The money
that Ia in 1t, but we see no reason why
Charleston should pay higher charges thar
Norfolk pays.
The people OF Charleston have made a good
case against the railroads. We have no donbi
hat there Is either a misunderstanding, OF
hat a statement OF some OF the facts has no
been seen by us.
. II the situation Is as 1t appeared Hevera
days ago In the News and Courier hat city
has been most shamefully mlstreated.
In view Of the statements rs 10 facts, II II
the bounden duty OF somebody 10 remedy thu
existing evils, or to clear up statements
which on their face seem to be improbable, II
not Impossible.

Reed SmOOt,

The prosecuted Senator from Utah retains
his seat In the United States Senate. On a
resolution for e1 pulsion, % voted for 1t and
AZ voted against IT.. A two thirds vote was
necessary, when out about one third voted
for expulsion. Shoots sin seemed 10 be In
being a Republican and coming from Utah.
In religion he was a Mormon. The effort to
deprive him OF his seat had been reduced to
re ligious presentations, pure and simple; or
that is The way We look at II, Only three
Democrats voted for him, and they, OF course
were not from the South.
Smoots character or past Irecords we're In
points OF morals, as good aa that Of any Sen.
ator who VI ted against him. But be had n
business to be a Republican. and he had no
business to come from Utah, and be had no
business to be a Mormon.

Have No Fear.

While this editor Is not authorized to
speak for either party, yet we would venture
the suggestion that 1t will be a long lime be-
fore John w. Simpson, Of clews on college
enters suit against the Farm and Factory
newspaper, published at Seneca. Even
though the Farm and Factory may have
erred Mr.. Simpson could hardly get a poul.
tice OF shinplasters big enough TO cure the
wound. II Mr.. Simpson will show the Farm
and Factory where it erred We have NJ doubt
that that paper would be glad to make all
properamends. If the paper erred we ven.
ture TO suggest that 1t did 40 ignorantly and
not maliciously. The Farm and Factory
may possess its soul in peace. No harm is
coming to 1t because OF any lawsuit from
Mr.. Simpson.

ROckefeller's GIFT,

OF course the Hon. William Billy Bryon
has something 10 say about Rockefeller's gifi
of $32, 600, 100 for educational purposes. This
newspaper believes that Rockefeller is az
. good and as honest as a whole lot Of people
who speeripaiy talk about him, in Gliding
the aforesaid Hon. William Billy, who stig.
matizes his gilt as an effort to 'sulendise the
people"
II the aforesaid Johi d. Rock efeller lie will
ing to send his money to Abbeville 1t will bt
accepted with thanks, without any reference
to he opinions of any man who would &C
through all the courts. in an effort to geI
$4,000 from auy widow.
Speaking for this newspaper, this editor
thinks Its about time for the aforementioned
Hon. William Billy ts shut up his mouth ano
Sit Town. He talks entirely too much and We
are tired.

In N~eWberry.

Last Friday was Wasbington's birthday.
On the 22d Of February, 1856. this editor went
from Laurens to Newosrry, where he was en-
ployed to help print the Newberry Rising
Sun for Crosson & Slider. Thos. P. Slider
long ago passed over the River. Col. James
M. Crosson moved to Texas, and was for a
term OF years An honored Judge In that State.
His young heart still beats 10 his old body.
His writings for the Newberry Herald would
have us TO believe that he Is still cheerful and
as happy as a man could be at eighty, whose
good wife had gone to the spirit world.

The Boy That COuIdn'i Tell a Lie.

We are reminded by the newspapers that
last Friday was the birthday Of George Wash
ington. the boy who couldn't tella lie. The
newspapers, 80 far, have neglected to tell us
the. birthday of the fellow who told a whop-
per when he wrote the cherry tree story. AS
far as we are Informed Abbeville did nothing
out OF the ordinary. 1t may be, however,
that this town Is getting ready to celebrate
the birthday Of the best known liar on earth
the author OF the cherry tree story.

The New Court House.

The Press and Banner Is satisfied with
whatever nay be done, but we want the
Court house com m]issioDers TO build a fine
house on a good lot. Sell the old lot and the
old house at auction to the highest bidder for
cash. Put the money in a new lot and a new
house. $
Let us build a Cour house 80 fine that the
youngest child in Abbeville cannot live TO
see 1t tom dow TO give place 10 a better
house. and let 1t be SO far from any other
house that its proIimately would not endan-
er 1t 10 Gre. The Court house before this
one was burnt, with many records.

A Deg Fall.

Quite a number OF our brethren Of the
press heve been uOting the Improved sobriety
OF their respective communities under proh!-
bition. Our city council made notes for the
last week OF the dispensary, and for the first
week Of prohibition. One drunk each week
was the record. II cost the same to get drunk
under prohibition as under dispensary, 81 So
both white.

Glad Of Death.

From a cursory examination of the Cherc-
kee News, 1t seems to us that that paper Is
opposed 10 the dlspensary. Its expressions
lead the Press and Banner 10 believe that 1t is
glad that the dispensary is dead. Up 10 this
time, we have seen no evidence that 1t has
brought flowers to the funeral. y
