Parson Attacks the Theatre.

Spartanburg, March 17.-As the
result of sermon by the Rev. R. E
Neighbour, at Southside Baptist
church, in which he criticised the.
atre-goers and card players, the
lovers of those forms of amusement
are considerably worked up. Pastor
Neighbour declared that cards were
tools of the devil and society women,
who played the game for prizes, were
just as much violators of the law as
negroes who play in alleyways for
5 cents. The theatre, as an institu-
tion, he said, is corrupt, and most
stage folks are immoral.
Superintendent Frank Evans, OF
the city school, in a statement to the
press, takes issue with the preacher.
The harsh criticisms, Incorporate
and indiscriminate abuse of the the
atre by preachers, he says. are re-
sponsible for the degeneration of the
stage. Admitting that there are
some plays that should be condemn
ed, Prof. Evans says there are many
wholesome plays, in which truth and
virtue are held up for admiration
and vanity, folly and vice are con-
demned. Such plays teach a great
moral lesson. Again, the stage, he
says, ranks highest in the order OF
amusements and men cannot be on
the business rack all the time and
not seek the theatre. If they are de-
barred they fall back on the lower
amusements.

"TUSSAC" WHISKEY.
A Product Aiken and Orangeburg
Produce in Abundant Quantities.

Many people have wondered what
is the meaning of "tussac' or what
it's derivation. The revenue officers
have no genealogical dictionary, but
their understanding Of the word is
that it is a corruption of "tussock. "
The still from which are produced
the drops of concentrated oil of
wrath, are little larger than coffee
pot. In fact, they are portable.
knowing the vigilance of the "reve-
nuers," the native takes his little
still in a bateau and rows out into
the swamp. The outfit is set upon
some convenient tussock, and when
the officers get wind of the opera
tions the moonshiners travel from
tussock to tussock until they can find
hiding place for the still.
Some of the raiding deputies Of
this division have been busy lately
breaking up "tussac" stills In the
Edisto swamps Of Aiken and Orange
burg counties. '"Tussac" is the name
given to a fiery liquor distilled from
molasses, pine tops and Irish pota-
toes. 1.-TWO drinks and the world is
mine," but three drinks would put
enough fury into rabbit to cause
him to spit in bull dogs face.
More than once samples of "tus-
sac," captured by dispensary con-
stables, have been sent to Columbia
to be analyzed, and in each instance
the apparatus has turned up its nose,
turned a little pale in the face and
given symptoms of nausea. A billy
goat is said to have broken into the
contraband room one day and after
partaking Of one small vial OF tussac,
sent in his resignation to the can
eaters union. It was Cruel and milk
for him thereafter. But they do say
that some folks drink tussac-drink
it and live.-The State.

The Club Woman.

The idea that woman cannot be
a home mother" and attend con-
scientiously to the affairs of her
home, because she may happen to be-
long to club is a rather narrow
view to take of the ability Of the
woman Of to-day.
The woman who can not arrange
her affairs so that she can spare one
or two afternoons each week for So
cial and mental culture is to be de-
plored.
We are thankful to say, however,
and without fear of successful con-
tradiction, that the "club woman is
a many-sided woman, who, realizing
the vital importance Of the wife and
mother keeping in touch with the
progressive spirit Of the age, so uses
her intelligent energies to arrange
the affairs of her household that she
can spare time to mingle with her
sisters and think and talk with them
of what is good and right
The "club woman" is not the foe
and destroyer of the sanctity of the
home as she has been represented,
but rather she is the preserver and
beautifier of that same home.
Realizing the need in the home OF
a woman who is an intelligent COM
panion as well as a good housekeep-
er, she strives and does I'LL both
needs.
That some women have devoted
all of their energies to club work to
the detriment of their homes, can
not be denied. Not in the club only
do we find extremists, but in all or
ganizations, and the woman who Is
a chairman or even member OF
four or five clubs and a busy mother
is unusual. A search for the homes
which in any measure resemble
'Mrs. Jelliby's" with it's poor, neg
lected little mite Of a ''Peepy" or it's
over-taxed "Caddy" to be successful
would have to be instituted outside
of the realm of the "club woman" ="
A careful study of the work Of
"women's clubs" will show a benefi-
cial reflex action on the home life.
Take for example, "the civic club, /"
of which every town of any size has
some branch. Many of these are
composed wholly of women. 1t is an
institution for the beautifying and
up-building of the home town" and
a potent factor in establishing in the
home love of the beautiful.
The veriest "tot" wants its garden
bed.
Health, order, and an appreciation
of labor are thus the outcome of the
civic club.
Is not this work for woman?
In like manner the influences Of
all well regulated "women's clubs"
can be felt in "the home" The
"club woman" like all other innova-
tions, has had to fight, and is fight
ing prejudices, but she does it with
a quiet dignity and firm purpose
that is establishing her in the re-
spect and esteem of all thinkers as
a necessary adjunct to modern civil
lization. Strange to say, but it is
true nevertheless. Men are more
inclined to give her her dues than
are other women. You will find the
same spirit abroad to-day that Of old
confined the education of girls to the
"three RS" and it is hard to put
aside old customs.
Men in their larger opportunities
for seeing the need of the age for
intelligent workers are the more
willing to give to the "club woman"
her place.

How They Trip Themselves Up

Time and again have we heard that
old false cry: There is as much
liquor sold in a dry county or state
as there is under the saloon system. /"
This lie has been used to brighten
the weak prohibitionists but more
especially to taunt the strong prohi-
bitionist.
Those who know nothing about the
situation in Kansas and in Maine will
talk by the hour of the failure of pro-
