BIBLE BRILLIANTS.

Man is like to vanity: his days are as
a shadow that passeth away.-Psalm
exliv, 4.
Happy is he that hath the God Of
Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the
Lord his God: Which made heaven, and
earth, the sea and all that therein is:
which keepeth truth for ever: Which
executeth Judgment for the oppressed:
which giveth food to the hungry
Psalm cxlvi, 5, 81.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it
is for brethren to dwell together in uni
ty! It is like the preciocs ointment
upon the head, that ran down upon the
beard, even Aaron's beard; that went
down to the skirts of his garments; as
the dew of Hormon, and as the dew that
descended upon the mountains of Zion:
for there the Lord commanded the bless
ing, even life for evermore. Psalm

Good Order Due to Prohibition.
EGgefield Is. c. Advertiser. |


Be it said to the lasting credit of the
people of our county, the Christmas just
past was striking exception to the festive
seasons of the years gone by under the
old whisky regime. Reports have reached
US from different parts of the county to the
effect that almost perfect order prevailed
during the recent holidays. Under pro-
hibition conditions have changed. A new
order of things now exists.
After all, the greatest good that comes
through prohibition is removing the temp
tation from the boys and young men. 1t
will not reform those who became addicted
to strong drink under the old bar-room
dispensation, but prohibition is making
sober young men of the rising generation.
For this reason, the good effects Of prohi-
bition will become more and more apparent
as the years pass.

Judee Taft and Negro Domination.

Extracts from New Orleans Picayune.l
What the white solidarity of the South
does is that it saves several of the great
States of this section, and many of the
counties, towns and congressional districts
of the other States from negro domination.
There is no alternative, for if the white
strength of the South allows itself to be
divided between two great parties the negro
wedge will be driven in between the divided
masses of the whites and the domination
of the black race is inevitable. This can
only be prevented by the Southern whites
standing together and maintaining the
safety of our society and the protection OF
our women. Shall we give up these all
important and sacred trusts in order that
few prominent Southern white men may
obtain Federal office? That is all that can
be gained by such cowardly and traitor
Gus course.
If prominent white Southerners could
get public offices by individually going
over to the Republican party no harm
would be done and nobody would care, but
they can only gain favor with the powers
that be by carrying with them great bodies
of white followers. This is the reason they
are bowling so loudly against the solid
white party of the South. These promi-
nent Southern gentlement who want to
throw themselves in President Taft's fat
bosom have nothing to take with them to
pay their way.
| Mr.. Taft has been zealousfy courting the
South, but like every suitor, his failure OF
success will change his love toindignation
and hate His love for our section is based
on the expectation that he will be able to
divide it's white population between two
parties. Divide and conquer in detail is
one of the best established rules of the
strategy of war aud politics. Judge Taft
is Republican, and he is working to Sc
cure Republican control of the South at
the cost of negro domination. That is the
prize he is working for. We care blind and
besotted if we do not see it.

Origin Of the pos.mark.

Great Britain claims the distinction
of having originated the postmsrk.
The first one. employed in London as
long ago as 1860, was an extremely
simple affair. consisting merely of a
small circle divided into two parts.
At the top there were two letters in.
dieating the month, while in the low.
er half OF the circle was shown the
day of the month. No provision was
made for indicating the year or the
hour OF the day. II is only by the
date of the letters themselves where.
on the mark was impressed that It IL
possible TO fix the date OF its use.
