In our last issue we took. oc-
casion to reproduce from the
columns Of the Columbia State
an editorial which gave the edi-
tor Of The Christian Advocate a
lambasting about his professions
Of prohibition. The article was
a skin raiser it is true, but we
feel assured the Advocates cdl-
tor is somewhat of a hide-raiser
himself: and having at one time
edited this newspaper, we felt
satisfied The TINES readers
would be interested in the edi-
torial scrap, and for that reason
we reproduced The States arti
Gle in these coldmns and we
propose to reproduce the Advo-
Gates reply, if it makes one. We
regard this legitimate, but it
seems that our having printed IN
these columns what The State
said has offended the editor OF
the Advocate to the extent, ne
has gotten out of temper with
US and sent US an insulting per-
sonal letter. The TINES editor
will not permit himself to be
guided in the conduct OF his
paper by any personal consider
ations he may have for a former
editor of this paper, when be
does begin to wear another's
collar he will vacate the edito-
rial chair. Since receiving the
insulting letter from editor Net.
ties, we have re-read the edito-
rial comments made by US, and
not being able to discover any
thing relating to editor Nettles
that can be construed 20 be
offensive by any appropriated
mind, we have no apologies to
make for the editorial nor for
our allusion to what has trans
pired since.

The way the Democratic news
papers are concerned about
Fora ser and Taft two Ohians
who are rivals for the republican
nomination for president. really
looks as if they do not expect
the Democrats to put forward a
nominee at all. These papers
have nothing whatever to say
about securing a winning candi-
date for their own party, they
have apparently lost sight Ct
their being such an organization
as a Democratic party. The
Democrats of the South have no
hope Of getting a Southern man
upon the National ticket, and
there is very little choice be-
tween a Northern Democrat and
a Republican, the Republican if
anything comes nearer being in
accord with the ideas of South
ern Democracy Put a Cleve-
land Democrat and a Roosevelt
Republican into a white primary
in the South, it is our judgment
the Roosevelt man would win
with hands down. We therefore
see no sense in the Southern
press exercising itself over VINO
will carry of the Republican
nomination unless it proposes to
concede the next National elec-
ton to that party without d
struggle.

WaYs Of the FIyina Fish.

Flying fish swim in shoals varying
in number from a dozen to a hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once, darting through the air in the
same direction for 200 yards or more,
and then descend to the water quickly,
rising again and then renewing their
fight. Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out Of the water and gaining up
on his prey, which take shorter and
shorter flights, vainly trying to escape,
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
in the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their fins at all as wings
is not fully decided. The power Of
fight is limited to the time the fms
remain moist.

Sacred Monkeys of india.

In Living Animals sof the World
some curious stories are told about the
habits and characteristics Of the mon
key tribes. 1t seems that the entellus
monkey is the most sacred Of ali IN

brown below, long legged and active, a
thief and an impudent robber. In one
Of the Indian cities they became such
a nuisance that the faithful deterrnin-
ed to catch and send away some hun

monkeys were deported in covered
carts and released many miles off. But
the monkeys were too clever. Having
thoroughly enjoyed their ride, they re-
fused to part with the carts and, hop
ping and grimacing, came leapinG all
the way back beside them to the city,
grateful for their outing. One city OBJ
tanned leave to kill the monkeys, but
the next city then sued them for kill

FuRNUM NOT GUILTY.

The intimation in certain news
papers that Mr.. James S. Far
mum. a beer bother Of Charles
ton, had something to do with
the :;beer- bottling" clause IN the
Carey-Cothran Act, is doing that
man an injustice. We happen to
know that the language in the
original draft Of the bill is not
the same as was enacted into
law, and instead Of Mr.. Farnum
ask for any change from the
original, there was a brewer VINO
pleaded with the members night
and day to change the verblage
so his business would not be de-
stroyed. He asked for more,
this man begged for the law to
be fixed so that his establish
ment could sell to consumers.
The maD we refer to, stayed IN
Columbia until the Carey Goth
ran bill was enacted into law,
but Farnum was there but a
short time and showed no signs
of being interested in the pass
age of the bill. We are satisfied
that Mr.. Farnum did not attempt
to exert any influence among his
friends in the legislature, ac-
knowledging ourself to be one
of his friends, and of our per
sonal knowledge, he has many
more. And we are sure ne was
more interested in the retention
of the State dispensary.
We think the State is wrong
in drawing Mr.. Farnum's name
into having anything whatever
to do with any portion Of the
Carey -Cothran law. The State
regards Farnum s'a very shrewd
individual, and expert wire-pul-
ler." He is s'shrewd" alright,
too s:shrewd'' to attempt to
hoodwink the supporters of the
Carey-Cothran bill. even if he
were so disposed. If the beer
bottling provision gives a mon
opoly to those who were in bus
mess at the time the State dis
pensary was abolished, and per
mits no new bottling establish
ments, it may be one of those
mistakes which sometimes hap
pen in hurried legislation, but
that any outside individual with
a selfish purpose is responsible
for it, or thatit was the work Of
any shrewdness on the part Of
Mr.. Farnum or anybody else IN
an unwarranted suspicion.

A We'll Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the
world today is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
a while is the best thing known for any
one troubled with constipation, indi-
gestion, dyspepsia or any truble arising
from an impure state of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been IN use
for over century and are sold in
every drug and medicine store, either
plain or sugar coated.

Temperance work among the

Temperance WORK among the
boys and girls is the most I'M
portant work for US to engage in.
While their minds are young
and tender truths may be i'm
pressed upon them which will
never be forgotten. Boys, while
your body is in excellent cond:-
ton, why start with your first
glass Of whiskey?? The first calls
for the second, and so on; have
courage to say no! when being
tempted.
Do you know that there is not
a reputable business house in
Chicago or New York today if
you applied to it for work, but
would ask you, among the first
questions: Do you use intoxicat-
ing liquors? Do you know that
life insurance companies reject
thirty per cent. of their appli-
cants for insurance on the
ground that they drink to ex-
cess:
Think these things over be-
fore starting in the drink habit.
The time is now ripe for prohi-
bition. We can't afford to lose
any time nor put off for a more
convenient season, but work
now while it is day. There is
more total abstinence sentiment
and total abstinence practice in
our country today than ever be-
fore.
There is a larger number Of
men and women working for the
overthrow of the beverage liquor
traffic than ever before. The
temperance organizations are in
creasing numerically and infu-
enciaIly as never before, anu To-
day We have every reason to be
thankful. Men long ridiculed
the temperance reform as "nar-
row." straight-laced" and a ''for-
lorn hope" The greatest de-
velopments prove that total alb
stinence has today become a
fundamental req uirement IN
important business and profes
sion and that prohibition en-
forced is a success and saves its
initial costs many times over in
any community, whether city,
county or state, which adopts
the policy.
Hope is now filing the hearts
of the people. where discourage
ment and fear have prevailed,
the church is awakening not only
to her duty but to her privilege
and power. More prayers are
being offered, more sermons
preached, more speeches made
and more votes are cast and
more intelligent plans are laid
for the destruction Of the traffic
than at any time in the past. We
are now reaping the fruits Of the
eminently wise work Of the W.
G.. T. q, and we're out to win and
are sure that woman's cause
will.
We need the help of every
man and woman in America who
loves home and hates the sa-
loon.

Well, she does it easily. She builds the
