Good Enough For Him.

There is a colored preacher in Mo-
bile who has no sympathy with the
modern doctrines of some of his
white brethren.
One Sunday evening, after preach
ing a long sermon bearing upon the
''good old fashioned religious ideas" "
the divine paid his compliments to
the "newfangled religion" in no un-
certain terms. Finally, he pounded
the pulpit and wound up with:
can breddren, | wish to say that
when all is said and done the hell of
nv fathers is good enough for me-"

He is Is years old. Several years
ago he caused a granite block to be

The Dispensary Reports.

The quarterly reports of the dis
bensary at Camden and Bethune were
published last week, and showed a
big volume of business. The dlspen'
sary at Camden sold for the quarter
SIG. .1O6. 80 ofwhiskey and the Bethune
dispensary 81, ,050. 80; making a tota
fS23, 1878 The profits from Cam
den dispensary, $5,512.28, Bethune
Sl .225. so; total profits, S6, 6,73S.!7'
This amount has been equally dlvld:
ed between the towns, county and
schools.
The expense account was 81, ,O&. 76.
OF this amount $5OO.00 was paid out
IN attorneys fees, in an effort to
fasten the dispensary upon the peo-
pie of the county, after q majority
had voted to close it up. We DC not
know upon what legal grounds the
dispensary profits can be expended IN
employing attorneys to try to save ITS
life upon technical grounds; still
more difficult would it be to find a
moral right. Suppose one of our
county officials would be defeated fol
reelection in the next election, and
after he had been defeated he decld-
ed to enter a protest, what legal OF
moral right would he have to call up
on the county treasurer to pay his at
torney's fee? None whatever. How
ever the dispensary spends hundreds
of dollars in lawyers fees in tight
ing the will of the people. But this
will not save tit is doomed.
The chances are that at the next
session Of the legislature the dispen-
saries will all be upset, and if not,
next summer men who will repre-
sent the wishes of their constituents
will be nominated. Many want q
State wide prohibition law passed,
others will be content if the stu
alton is reverted, allowing those
counties that may want dlspensary
to get up the petition for dispensary
instead of those who want to get rlo
of the dispensary. At any rate this
modern Jericho of evil must be taken
