No Blind Tiger Under Rhett's
Office.

Charleston, 8. c., July 3lst, 1905.
To the Editor Of the Press and Banners:
Permit me to answer the inquiry In your
editorial headed "How is This?" and printed
in your last issue. I am confident thai
neiiher you nor Mr.. 3 J. Link, who war
quoted In your editorial, desires 10 do the
Hon. r. GOODWIN Rhett. or the people Of
Charleston an Injustice. Mr.. liz 1s quoted
az saying q place where liquor ID sold CON
trary TO law Ia under Mayor Rhett's office, or
next door to 1t. Surely Mr.. Link must have
been misinformed or m%isquoted, for there IL
not an iota of truth in auch q statement.
Permit me to say, that Mayor Rhett has
waged the most effective war against the H.
licit sale Of liquor that has ever been waged
against 1t by q city or state officer. During
the course OF his administration, the number
OF bind tigers has been reduced TO about one.
thiS4 what they formerly were. A con-
vincipg evidence Of bis administratio Of the
Law is found In the fact that one hundred per
cent more stuff was sold In the Charleston
dispensariea during April, 1908. b was sold
AsI said before. 1 do not believe that Mr.
Link, or the Editor OF the Press and Banner,
would willingly do Mr.. Rbett an injustice.
As a citizen OF Charleston, have stated the
facts, as the are known TO the business men
Of this community, in the interest OF fair
play and good government.

~ q mighty solemn sort of thing
said Uncle John Whitmire to The N.
P. M. the other day, "for a fellow to
get right down and commune with
himself-have a heart to heart talk
about all kinds of things with his own
soul, with the world asleep and lock
ed out where it can't hear a word
that's going on. It's awful, when you
come to think about it. You see You
and Yourself are pretty we'll acquain-
ted. There are lots and lots of little
condolences and secrets you Two know
that the world would be surprised if
not shocked to slip up and overhear
discussed. You see, it's this way.
"A man might fool the public; he
might fool his friends; he might fool
the wife of his bosom; he might fool
all the rest of the family. But he can't
fool himself.
He has to live with himself twenty
four hours every day in the year.
He can't get away from himself. No
matter what bis PARTNER and his
neighborhood think he is, no matter
how successful he may be in making
people believe be Ia something that
he isn't he, himself. will always know
just what he really ia.
Some men know. Some think it.
Some of them are just selfish enough
to want to think well Of themselvs,
and to know that they desire the
respect of others. And they so con.
duct themselves toward their fellow
men that they can throughly enjoy
self.respect.
"That Is enlightened s%elfishness.
And is the kind of selfishness the
world can stand. For it makes men
good because they want to be good
and enjoy being good. And that beats
being good because some law says you
must be good, and threatens you with
punishment-the Jail or the fine OF
ostracism or loss of others-if you are
not good.
1.-THE hypocrite can't be really hap.
py. People may think he is. His
smile may escape detection as a coun-
terfeit. His laugh may be taken cur.
rent. They may think be is all he
pretends to be-. He may lead in pray
er, he may say grace before meals,
he may pose as a pious Christion.
And he may at the same time still
rob and cheat his fellows. And he
may keep on fooling bis fellow.church.
men.
But he can't fool God. And he
can't fool himself.
"When he gets through with his
days work of fooling other men in
the mart Of trade, and then gets
through foolipg his neighbors at
church, and gets through foolng his
family at home, he stifl has to deal
with himself. And when he goes to
bed at night he knows, if anybody
else does, that he is going to sleep
with q thief, a robber, a liar, and 2
hypocrite. And he knows that all the
ingenuity of hell can't separate him
from that thief, robber, liar, and hypoc'
critic during the remainder OF his
natural life.
"No man can be truly happy unless
he il at peace with himself. And he
can't be az peace with himself unless
he himself absolutely knows that be
Ia just what he pretends to he and
what he wants other to believe him to
be: and that means
"To be good!
"For none of us want other people
to believe us to be dishonest, or un-
truthful, or dishcnorable, or unjust,
or evil.
