THE COMPROMISE.

TO the prohibitioniSts of South
Carolina the Christensen-Willia
compromise bill which finally passed
the House on February 271h is by no
means a satisfactory solution of the
question. Yet, under the circum-
stances, we doubt if there was possi-
gble any more favorable solution at
the session just closed The prohi-
bitiOniSts have not started quite at
the beginning point to secure a pro-
hibitiOn law. In too many Of the
counties of South Carolina those who
favored prohibition failed to exert
their influence at the proper time
before their members of the General
Assembly were chosen-or else this
state is not yet ready for a prohibi-
tion law.
It is evident, if the members of
the General Assembly are true rep
reSentatives Of their constituents.

point where a majority of the people

year by year, as the country's inter-
ests have become more uniform, the
political parties have also been mod
flied into comparative sameness, but
gives force Of strength to the politi-
cal danger one to the other. And In
this political danger lies the mate
rial safety of the country.
Mr.. Taft, o Republican, will be our
next President; yet the South, un-
changeably Democratic, feels that the
affairs Of the whole nation are TO be
guarded well by those in authority,
for there are enough Democrats in
Congress to prevent any of the old
time flagraEtly Republican measures
ever being resurrected. In fact, we
doubt If there is any desire on the
part Of present Republicans to do
aught but that which is for the best
interest of the great masses of the
people whom they represent.
We have gotten together once
more as reunited country. The
great cOnciliatory influence of the
lamented Mckinley has not suffered
through his unfortunate taking away,
but rather gained force and efficacy
through the national sorrow that fol-
lowed his death. We believe that in
William II. Tart We will find more
OF the Mckinley qualities than exist
ed in Mr.. Roosevelt. We have high
hopes for the future OF the coming
administration, and there goes out
TO the new President and his admin
istration no warmer welcome, no sim
corcr desire for great usefulness, no
more fcrVcnt prayers for Divine
guidance to those in authority than
goes out from the South.
May President Taft long live and
serve well the people who have call
ed him to the highest place in the
gift of any people!

THE INAUGURATION.

Tomorrow in Washington William
Howard Taft will be inaugurated as
the twcnty-seventh President of the
greatest nation on the earth. Long

judgment that his recent campaign
and more recent utterances have
given grounds to the entire country
to hope for.
We Of the South have differed, and

from that place two weeks ago, were

The warrant for the arrest of the

Manley, for she patted his cheek most
affcctionately after they had been
taken in custody and gave him kiss.

Stiff Neck.

Stif neck is caused by rheumatism
of the muscles of the neck. 1t is
usually confined to one side, or to
the back of the neck and one side.
While it is often quite painful, quick
relief may be had by applying Cham
berlain's Liniment. Not one case of
rheumatism in ten requires internal
treatment. When there is no fever
and no swelling as in muscular and
chronic rheumatism, Chamberlain s
Liniment will accomplish more man
any internal treatment. For sale by

Americas attitude toward Japan is
the burning question in Washington.
On Thursday afternoon just as Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt were about
to enter their carriage for an after
noon drive a telegram was brought to
the President stating that the Cali
fornia House had passed the anti
Japanese bill. Immediately Mr..
Roosevelt called in Secretary of
State Bacon, and began a second
series of dispatches TO the California
authorities warning them against
such a course of action. The Nevada
Senators, Nixon and Newlands, gent

that ne does not understand the sit

Representative Mckinley risked his

Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this con-
tinent a new nation, conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the PROPOSE
ton that all men arc created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that nation.
or any nation so conceived and 20
dedicated, can long endure. We are
met on a great battlefield OF that
war. We have come to dedicate a
portion Of that field as a final rest
ing place for those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live.
1t is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this.
But In a larger sense we cannot de-
dictate, We cannot consecrate, We can
not hollow this ground. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here have consecrated it far above
our power to add or detract. The
world will little note nor long rem
emDer what we say here, but II can
never forget what they did here. 1t
is for us, the living, rather, to be
dedicated here to the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus
SO nobly advanced. 1t is rather for
US to be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us-that from
the honored dead we take increased
devotion to the cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devo-
ton; that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in
vain; that this nation, under God.
shall have a new birth of freedom,
and that government OF the people, by
the people and for the people shall
not perish from the earth.

FOR STATE PROHIBITION:-Th
w. c. T. u. and the Prohibition par
ty have started In Louisville a
movement for statewide prohibition
by constitutional amendment They say
that local option is not enough-that
II allows communities that want to
permit the sale of liquor, and that
counties can go back to license II, af-
ter a three years trial, they do not
like prohibition. Therefore they want
prohibition constitutional amend
ment, SO that the state will have to
stay dry. II is also hoped that the
movement for state prohibition will
so scare the liquor people that they
will not oppose the county unit bill
now being pushed.
