Whiskey Supply Cut on.

Prohibitionists are rejoicing at the thirst Of
the whiskey guzzlers, occasioned by the clos
Ing Of the dispensary. which has been supply.
Ing a 'ong felt want.
For fifty years this editor has been f1gh ting
for prohibition and temperance, and vexing
his soul for fear the whole world might be
drowned in q ~whiskey barrel or carried to the
bow-wows by the little schooner.
But he will not further disturb his rest on
hat subject. .
The desertion OF prohibitionists to the
ank Of avowed high license people enabled
the license element to close the dispensary.
High lioenre people believe this is the best
Prohibitionists acted as II they believed
there is virtue in licensed liquor.
But other temperance people feared the
Greeks bringing gifts. and refused to enlist
under the bsr-room flag. The dispensary was
bad enough for them.
But, whether under prohibition. license or
dispensary laws, we have neve r seen th
thirsty whiskey guzzIer kept long from the
coveted drink. The boys who had inap.
gurated a big thirst for Court week, are disap-
pointed. The dispensary Is closed temporar-
lily, and the blind tiger was caught mapping,
without supply OF the stun. As q result,
fewer men will put up at the Abbeville Inn,
the Eureka, where the lodging 10 both better
and cheaper.
Prohibitionists should put on their broad
est smile now. The hated dispensary folk
will laugh later.

The deceased had been in faiitng health tor

but the end was not expected so suddenly
His death was q tremendous shock to his

Mr.. Cochran came here several years ago

The New Court. House.

The Newberry Observer potes that New
berry gets a SIS 900 court house. while Able
vile proposes TO build a s35 600 court house.
Speaking for the Press and Banner. We
think n sS5. COO court house is unworthy OF Alb.
beville county, and we hope that no such
~picayupe establishment may be built. Our
old court bouse cost nearly that much, and
II we can't do better than build a S35 900 cour,
house the same old tobacco barn Will do for 3
while yet. II cost nearly $50 900, including
furniture. safes and The old bricks and bats
OF the burnt court house which were used In
the walls Of the existing barn.
Our hot'l cost in the neighborhooh OF
$4,000. Some oL churches cost SIS. 0C0 or
SIS, OV0.
II the young men Of Abbeville could build
a $4,000 hotel. II single denominations can
build SIS, 200 or $4,000 churches, then is 1t not
a disgrace Inc a shame to the proud people
ola whole county that they can not build q
decent court house?

Ali SORTS.

A city like Abbeville ought to insure the
property OF It's citizens. We pay annually
about Sic, ono on policies and get back from
$500 to 81 600 a year, 1t has been twelve
years siuce we had much loss by IRE. a saw
Ing OF SIS, 1000 a year for Twelve years would
amount To $50. 900. or more than all the city
taxes for that length OF time.
The State ought 10 insure the lives OF IT.
citizens. We believe that 81, 700. 900 Was paid
In life policies last year-(or The year befort)-
and less than half OF 1t Was paid back 10 the
policy holders.
Mayor Mcmillan has done much 10 i'm prove
the town. He contemp!ates building q
city hail. And we venture 10 suggest that he
will build one 80 good, 30 elegant and so
utiiitariap that neither he. nor his children
nor his grandchildren will tear 1t down. And
II he will ipaugurate the insurance, business,
generations yet unborn will rise mp and bless
bis memory.
And County Supervisor Nickles has a head
on his shoulders which Ia getting level on top
He and bis associates will build IN elegant
court house, that will stand for a century a.
The pride OF Abbeville County, and We as
sumo OF course, that he will put 1t IN a good
place, and tear nothing down.
Represt NATIVE StiIlwell, of Mccormick Is q
man after our own heart. He says AbbevilIe
ought 10 be ashamed Of the tobacco barn, and
although he and his ncighbors expect TO e..
tablish a new county and build a court house
at Mccormick, yet he wants Abbeville to
have good court house. As long as he re-
mains In Aubeville County. the people OF the
city ought TO vote for him. II the new coun-
ty Is established, then Mccormick ought to
make him a Senator for life. He has as many
square sides as anybody, and his impulses
are az high III the highest.

puden

Some Of the newspapers are impudent
enough to inquire inio the disposition that ia
being made OF the tithing funds Of the Nor
mons. And such impudence comes from
newspapers that are fighting the Mormons.
Any Idea that the people ought To know spe-
officially and definitely what becomes OF their
none Ia not to be tolerated for a moment.
II the churches, everywhere, we're to make
known 10 the multitude how their money is
spent, widespread dissatisfaction might fol-
low. For this reason churches. In all lands.
should withhold from the people anything
like an exact or specific accounting. 'The
incidental reminder that they did not pay
enough" ought to satisfy the curious. Those
who are not satisfied, and are disposed to be
ins,s'eut upon knowing II all should be sum-
marily communicated. It will never do 10
allow the average contributor TO bs too deter
mined to know what the Lords anolnted
may do with SO vulgar a thing as money.
Now hear what the Salt Lake Tribune has
to say:
THE SECRET FUNDS The proposition IL
often presented by the DPserat News that the
titbing accounts are open 10 the inspection Of
1.-THE payers, so that they may know Just
what disposition Is made OF the funds which
they contribute.
That being true. then 40 high a dignitary In
the church as an apostle surely ought to
know what becomes OF this money; but II we
are To believe Reed Smoot, nc such knowl-
edge Is possessed by apostles or lay-members.
or anybody else except The man wh9haa sole
con troll over the fund. When be testified 10
his own behalf at Washington, the apostle
waa asked questions intended 10 dlaclt re the
uses to which tithing money Ia nut; but bis
answers were ON the order of "Ot course I
know little about that and II am on y tel'-
ting you Just what ! have heard Indirectly"
Now, tine truth In this matter Ia that Joseph
F. smith has complete and sole authority
over the titheR and their diRposition. About
all that the members OF the Mormon church
have TO do with them is TO pay them and the
extent OF the access which they have to the
accounts ia 10 be able TO discover how much
they paid IN any given year-with the pnRsi-
bic Incidental reminder that they did not pay
enough.
That fund Is just as secret in the handa Of
Joseph F. Smith AZ In any treasure at the dis
poaal of the most despotic rulers on earth
Notwithstanding VI hat the church organ says
on this matter, every time that the subject j.
mentioned, the payers OF the tithes know 10
more about The manner Of their disposition
than does the bpggar In Jerusalem. Anu
can never get that In formation, either,
desirous they may he OF possessing
II. Under these circumstance there Ia no
doubt that, II the real question ut issue can he
brought before q competent court, there will
be judicial decision demonstrating The ! le-
galiIy Of the false preiense If the gathering.
and the improper, secret use OF the vast tilh-
Ing fnnoS.

The Thaw Trial.

Much speculation or much comment has
been made on the Thaw trial in New York
We believe n majority OF the people think
Thaw will be acquitted, and some editors
have expressed their Individual or personal
opinion to the same effect.
This editor would rtmnrk that II Ia we'll for
Thaw that be Is not on the Jury, for these
reasons:
First-We do not believe that one man has
q right TO Kill another about q trihIng wo-
man.
Second-We thipk that The cr:zv man
whose people allow him to go at large, should
be held accountable for his crimes.
Thlrd-We would take the evidence against
the dead with a great big grain OF shl:.
Fourth-The mar or woman who goes into
court for rquity must himself or herstlf have
clean hands.
Fitb-The whole outfit seems 10 be q bad
lot aud they have no right TO insult public
morals by making az exhibit OF their evil
doings.

Profanity by Public Speakers.

In Difference to the religious sentiment OF
their hearers. public speakers, except In the
pulpit, generally refrain from the needless or
irreverent use of the name Of the Almighty.
The people, however, for some reason, un-
known TO US. still tolerate in the pulpit the
alppant, irreverent or needless use OF the
name of the Ruler of the universe. This ir-
reverent.-if not profane.-use OF the Name.
occurs without Difference 10 the presence Oh
good women aud Innocent children.
II q speaker outside of the pulpit should DO
the same thing, we would likely hear a
mighty howl.
Profanity on the stump having been aban'
doned, now let the better class of people de-
mand that the standards OF their pulpits oe
raised, and that the temple itself be not desc
Grated by fIppant or irreverent use Of the
holy Name.
We submit that q preacher In the pulpit
shout l not show US how easily the command
may be disregsrded or set aside, but be should
set us an example In reverence.
Why is 1t that profanity Is tolerated In the
pulpit and not on the stump?
Why SHOULD a minister OF the gospel not be
In his speech as reverential as a layman?
Can anybody give q reason why the re-
ligious press should not manifest as higt
standards of reverence as are exemplifled ir
the columns Of the secular press?
While there are some honorable and nota.
BILE exceptions. yet a majority Of the religion.
press that we see seem TO exercise DO restraint
whatever in the needless. II not sinful, use
of the name of the Almighty.
Would the people tolerate in q public
speaker on the stump the hlppant, irrevei en-
and needless use OF the nam Of the Creator
thirty or forty times In ope-half hour?
Is there any reason why profsne preacher
should not be Cited before the church courts
that they may be given an opportunity to ex
press penitence or to give a reason why they
should not be expelled?
The preacher Of the gospel who uses tht
Name, with which TO Ill out the time or L
lengthen his speech, or bis alleged sermon
may not only be displeasing to his congrega'
ton, but he Ia be unjust to himself b,
creating In the minds OF his bearers the i'm
preston that he Is lacking In plety and is de-
nciept In personal respect for the Author o
his being. At any rate should not an ordain'
ed minister OF the gospel be as reverential al
are his elders?

The Subject Being Lunatics.

I Somebody is always wanting q law to make
somebody else do things.
One set Of lunalics wants a law for compul-
sorry vaccination.
Another set OF equally crazy people WANT
law TO enforce i'd leness ON children, II they
happen to be born of poor but honest parents,
and live in mill owns.
Another variety of lunatics, who may ulti-
mately prove that they are in danger OF be-
coming sane, want compulsory education.
Another set Of we'll meaning lunatics are
90 determined On compulsory sobriety, that
they would join the bsr-room or license ele-
mept TO accomplish their noble purpose.
Another set Of unatics who have not ap-
piled TO the Legislature for a charter. are
those narrow minded but we'll meaning peo.
Pile. who may think or claim the divine right
to q monopoly OF purity and wisdom, while
setting of evil In full measure to %nelghoora
whose mentality and vision they doubt.
Another set OF people who are of their base
are those who would enact a marriage license
law, and then possibly fix the license so high
that poor folks couldn't marry at all.
Another set Of unwise people are those who
would let down the gap for husbands and
WlNoo W OO uiF'9OCu-th o2Oith6 q PiS-
nium 10 men who had made bad bargains
and allowing them to get rid OF supporting
heir wives and children.
Another set OF lunatics nay aid second
class doctors in preventing people from kill
Ing themselves, except upon prescriptions
from the aforesaid NJ. DIS.
But the worst form Of lunacy seems to have
attacked that variety OF politicians who
would ruin the poor mans credit, and cut of
the landowners income, are those who would
repeal the lien law.
Another Bet OF men who zee things that are
not, Is that segregation of simpleton's who
go TO Columbia. with a copy OF some fool Bill
In their pockets, and who labor under the
impression that they would be better serving
their country by enacting some unheard OF
law, than In killing such fool Bills.

The OHensHry.

The News and Courier has a coed tempered
editorial In which II would explain the
downfall of the dispensary.
The notions, preJudices and desires OF the
people OF South Carolina is an unknown
quantity. In 1875 the State was a Unit for
II hampton. In 1892 or thereabout, the Stale
turned its back on the old patriot, and elected
B. r. Tillman in his place. In 1885, a little
later or a little earlier, the State enacted the
dispensary. In 1907. 1t repealed the disper-
sary.;
Would the News and Courier undertake 10
assign reasons.
II the people r%epudiated the dIspensary for
cause, I he ssme could not be said as to the
turning OF Hampton out of the Senate.
AS a rule, prohibitlonists think they are
Just a little too good n too pure 10 in.
habinet his globe. We've been one of 'em.
As a rule. pIohibitionlsts think the
licensing of sale Of liquor is the worst thing
on this terrestrial ball.
An exception 10 these rules, for which We
cannot account. Some OF the aforesaid pro
hibitionists Joined the aforesaid bar peoplt
In their effort TO kill the dIspensary.
